Chapter 4667: 5.0419 How Tragic It Is (Bonus Update)

"You guess, for your sake, how many people would Tianyun be willing to sacrifice?"

"I guess Tianyun would probably abandon you. What do you think, Hall Master Mu?"

"You don't need to sow discord here!" Mu Qingya retorted coldly. "Heh. I'm telling you, Qiao Mu, even if I die, with your personal strength, you can't contend against our entire Tianyun."

"Personal?" Qiao Mu looked at her in surprise. "Of course not personal. Do you think I'm that arrogant?"

"If we gather the strength of three continents and still can't contend with Tianyun, then we... will continue to gather more people, stronger forces. We'll keep trying."

"You!" Mu Qingya glared at the little poker face in front of her.

"Normal people just want to live normal lives; they don't want to become test subjects."

"Your anti-human operations will, sooner or later, lead to your own demise."

"Heh, you speak so righteously, Qiao Mu. Have you ever considered that perhaps Tianyun didn't want to oppose you in the first place? It's you! You've always stood in everyone's way, so we had no choice but to..."

"Ah, are you begging for mercy from me?" Qiao Mu interrupted her, scoffing coldly, her gaze mocking as she looked at her.

"Hall Master Mu, perhaps Tianyun initially didn't want to oppose me. But you, from beginning to end, have always been against me."

"Do you still remember that wandering Taoist priest on Sky-Shattering Star?"

"I guess you must have forgotten." Qiao Mu looked sideways at Mu Qingya, whose face was a mess, her hair stuck to it with sweat.

At this moment, Madam Mu no longer had her usual elegance and nobility. Her entire body was drenched in sweat, making her look wilted, and during her struggle while taking the medicine earlier, her hairpins were completely askew.

"That Grand Sage Taoist obeyed your orders. He found Wen Ruwan with the intention of harming my entire family."

"A tiny Pulse Pill, just one Pulse Pill. It's just a mere trifle, a small immediate gain. And they could be used by you."

"As an ant."

"How tragic it is."

"Only able to watch all of this happen, evolve, and ultimately tend towards death."

"We are powerless to resist, unable to fight for our lives, and unable to save anyone. Because we are just ants."

A hint of surprise appeared in Mu Qingya's eyes as she stared blankly at Qiao Mu.

In a moment, a glimmer of insight flashed in Mu Qingya's eyes, as if she had grasped something, and she tightly dug her fingernails into her fingers.

"Do you remember Fan Qiuhong?"

"I guess you must have forgotten again."

"This young man, how ruthless he is. He's been lurking by my side for so many years, and finally, as you wished." Qiao Mu paused slightly, holding the lighting pearl, and walked step by step towards Mu Qingya in the corner.

"You want to clip my wings."

"You want me to have nothing."

"You want... to further control my entire life."

"Lock me up, just like now. Let your people lock me in a dark, bottomless hell, tormenting me every day, studying my inner world, studying my spiritual consciousness."

"You're very curious, aren't you?"

"Well, now I'll clear up your doubts."

"Get away! Get away!!" Mu Qingya instinctively felt that the little girl in front of her seemed to be in an unusual mental state.

She just wanted to get away from this person, far away, not wanting to hear or see anything.

However, she had no choice.

Qiao Mu picked up Mu Qingya with one hand and dragged her towards the depths of the grotto.
