Chapter 4458: 5.0210 The Ruthless Qiao Qiao

"Master, follow me!" The little treant jumped down from her shoulder, its small arms and legs bouncing, and ran forward.

Qiao Mu quickly followed it, asking casually, "What's wrong with them now?"

"They said they were robbed by a bunch of you."

"What?" Qiao Mu's poker face tightened, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Master, Master, what should we do?" The little treant, leading the way, couldn't help but chuckle. "They can't break the formation. Master, why don't you break the formation from outside and rescue them?"

Qiao Mu: ...

"Where are the others?"

"I can already feel their aura, Master. You should go rescue Crown Prince Mo first!"

Qiao Mu's expression was helpless, but she still quickened her pace, following the little treant.

A few minutes later, Qiao Mu stood on an empty hillside.

"It's right here, here!"

"Master, just draw a rune and break this illusion array!"

Qiao Mu was speechless. She drew a rune in the air with her hand, flicking it like a stream of light into the air in front of them.

The surrounding earthen slope, visible to the naked eye, was instantly covered in a vibrant green that spread across the entire mountainside.

Two figures appeared floating in front of her.

Upon closer inspection, both of them had disheveled hair, and their clothes were wrinkled.

Grand Master Qiao Qiao, with an expressionless face, looked at the two and calmly said, "Go find the others."

"Qiao Qiao!!" Mo Lian leaped in front of her, pulling her into his embrace. "Qiao Qiao, you hit me!"

"Hit you? She even kicked me a dozen times!" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable pointed at the footprints on his robes. "See? See? You did all the kicking!"

Grand Master Qiao Qiao put on a ruthless face. "Even a small illusion array can make you two so disheveled. Useless."

"What small illusion array?" Mo Lian retorted indignantly. "I originally thought it was just a phantom illusion. Who knew a bunch of you would pounce on me, each with a physical body! Kicking, biting, scratching, tearing, and even forcing me to hand over my magic treasures and spirit coins!"

Qiao Mu looked at him expressionlessly. "Heh heh."

"Don't you believe me?" Mo Lian reached out and cupped her small face. "My Qiao Qiao. I recognized you at first glance! It was you from your golden hairpin age! Around twelve years old. Arrogant and difficult to talk to, rolling your eyes fiercely at me."

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable twitched his mouth severely, pointing at the seventeen or eighteen small footprints on his robe. "See, Qiao Qiao. These are all footprints from a bunch of you kicking me."

"I handed over a pile of spirit artifacts and magic treasures to them. It's strange, but after your illusions, one by one, took the magic treasures and spirit artifacts, they all walked away."

The little treant chuckled.

"They're not my illusions," Qiao Mu said, still with a cold expression. "It's that old man Tianjizi causing trouble."

"Really?"

"But they looked so real."

"Yes, yes, too real! They were truly a bunch of you." Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable counted silently. "At least a hundred of you."

Qiao Mu: ...

The little treant quickly said, "Master, I think there's something really fishy about this! Look at them both, they have footprints on them, and their hair is disheveled. It really doesn't look like something an illusion array would cause."

"Could it be that there are really a hundred of you hidden here?"

Qiao Mu glanced at the little treant, then turned her cold face to them. "Let's go! Go find Wushuang and Fu San. They're nearby."

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable tidied his messy hair, walked over to Mo Lian, and poked him. "Qiao Qiao is internally collapsing."
