Chapter 4407: Regret
The eight words, "Our ties are severed, we are no longer connected," echoed in her ears. Long Qian couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, her face growing even more pallid.
"Grandmother."
"Grandmother." Long Xiangyun helped Long Qian, and Long Hui also rushed forward a couple of steps to assist.
After Qiao Mu spoke those words, she didn't spare the Long family members another glance, as if looking at them again would defile her eyes. She turned and walked towards the city gate with a cold expression.
Everyone else naturally followed her.
Mo Lian and Feng Chen both paused, turning back in unison. One released a stream of dark fire spiritual energy, and the other unleashed a surge of wood spiritual energy, moving with unpredictable speed.
The two forces violently collided with the two elders.
Those poor Immortal Venerable realm elders had already expended considerable divine power forming their defensive array earlier. Now, under simultaneous attacks from the two, they couldn't withstand it.
Both elders were instantly sent flying by this strike.
Everyone's faces changed dramatically, filled with a mix of shock and fear as they looked at Mo Lian and Feng Chen. Two of the strongest elders in their clan territory were both unable to defeat the two individuals accompanying the little poker-faced girl.
At this moment, a hint of secret regret arose in the hearts of all the mermen.
It was fortunate they didn't act just now, wasn't it? If they had truly engaged in battle, would even one-tenth of them still be here now?
Long Qian's expression turned grave as she looked over.
Before the Dragon Patriarch could speak, Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable took out a small fan and waved it, smiling faintly before turning and following the group away.
Mo Lian merely cast a cold glance at them, then followed without a word.
All the mermen broke out in a cold sweat, looking at each other, feeling as if they had just walked through the gates of hell and back.
"Grand-Grandmother, shall your granddaughter help you back to rest?" Long Xiangyun wasn't sure why she was stuttering, her speech seemingly not flowing smoothly.
Long Qian looked at her and nodded silently.
Long Hui couldn't help but sigh deeply, surveying the clan members gathered around him, and then looking at his father being helped away. He pressed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
The situation in Forgetfulness River was so severe, yet the clan members had fallen out with the Crown Princess of Shenzhou. Cooperation in the future was probably out of the question.
It was Forgetfulness River that had proposed uniting the three continents for sea-land cooperation. But now... it was truly a joke. If the little poker-faced girl didn't participate, Cangzhou and Mingzhou would probably withdraw too, wouldn't they?
This was truly a headache-inducing matter. Long Hui couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Not long after Long Hui returned to his courtyard, his father, Long Chuyu, summoned him to the study. His father's health had always been frail; he was often bedridden.
Now, due to the matter with the little poker-faced girl, he was overly worried, and his complexion had worsened in the past two days. Long Hui could only offer a few more words of comfort when he saw him.
Long Chuyu asked, "What do you think about the alliance between the sea and land to break through fate?"
Long Hui remained silent for a moment, then explained his earlier thoughts to Long Chuyu.
"Cousin has severed ties with our Forgetfulness River Dragon Clan and has already declared it. I think..."
Long Chuyu felt a pang of heartache remembering what had just happened. He had always known that his mother, Long Qian, was overly opinionated and would relentlessly pursue a goal once she set her mind to it, disregarding everything else.
But he truly hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
"Eliminating fate is the top priority," Long Chuyu said gravely. "Why don't you still arrange Qiao Qiao and the others to the Lisha Island base according to the original plan?"
