Chapter 4436: 5.0188 Your Big Brother is Missing

If Haoguang wasn't a fool, he would know that the poker-face hadn't lied to him, given how much she'd already revealed.

He quickly changed his previously indignant expression, his small eyes gleaming as he stared at Qiao Mu, cupping his hands in a bow. "Greetings, Second-Generation Sect Leader."

Second-Generation Sect Leader, Sir Qiao, looked at him expressionlessly. "Tell me, why did you imprison them here?"

Haoguang immediately mumbled, his face looking particularly wronged and helpless. "Second-Generation Sect Leader, your subordinate didn't want to do this. But their large group was so noisy and boisterous, it was truly unbearable."

Ya Li's eyes immediately widened. "Senior Haoguang, you really lured us ashore and imprisoned us because we were noisy??"

"But even if we were noisy for a day or two, we'd eventually leave! By detaining us on the island like this, aren't you making it even noisier?" They weren't a bunch of dead people; naturally, they would try their best to find a way out.

With all this coming and going, how could it not be noisy and chaotic?

"Of course, it wasn't for such a trivial reason!" Haoguang glared at him angrily, then looked at the few people standing beside the little poker-face, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

He turned to Qiao Mu and said, "Second-Generation Sect Leader, there's a reason for this."

"The Tianji Secret Realm in the Snow Ridge Sacred Land is opening in a few days," the old man stroked his short beard and hummed. "If these people accidentally step inside, hehe, they'll face certain death."

"One of the entrances is where the formation was set up under the sea. I led them ashore to stop them from dawdling there."

"If these people insisted on staying there, they would probably be close to death."

Qiao Mu glanced at him, nodding slightly. "Thank you."

If those country bumpkins really entered that secret realm, they'd be beyond help.

The elites of the three states, before even gathering, being scattered and dismembered in some broken secret realm – it would truly be a laughingstock.

Senior Haoguang said with emotion, "Actually, there are at least two secret realm entrances nearby. The one under the sea is one, and there's a Land of Misfortune on the island..."

"It's strange, when I came out today, I felt that the Land of Misfortune inexplicably vanished. I don't know why." Haoguang sighed, looking utterly puzzled.

Young Master Ding silently glanced at the little poker-face beside him.

Just as the latter was about to speak, she heard a joyful cry nearby.

"Sister-in-law!" An Wushuang finally pushed through the crowd, running towards her with a cheer.

"I really wasn't mistaken," An Wushuang said with a giggle, tilting her head. She bounced quickly in front of Qiao Mu. "You really are here. It's great to see you."

Princess Wushuang's gaze swept around Qiao Mu. "Where's my big brother?"

At this, Grand Master Qiao Qiao became a bit annoyed. She said with a tight, poker-face expression, "Your big brother ran off a long time ago, and I don't know where he is now."

Logically, after the Land of Misfortune was broken, Mo Lian and Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable should have been able to sense her aura and track her.

But now, even Little Tree indicated that neither of them had contacted it.

"Big Brother is missing?" An Wushuang looked surprised.

No wonder it was so strange. She thought that if her sister-in-law was here, her big brother couldn't possibly be away from her.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll help you find him," Princess Wushuang held her small hand. It was as if she only now noticed the old man in front of her, and she looked at him in surprise.

"Who is this senior?"
