Chapter 4680: 5.0432 Suspicion

This wait lasted for almost an entire night.

It wasn't until dawn that a considerable commotion finally erupted from Snow Ridge Valley.

Qiao Mu immediately led three thousand elite soldiers and swiftly charged towards the location.

From a distance, they could only see a cloud of rolling dust.

Upon getting closer, everyone was astonished to see about one to two thousand monsters, fully covered in rhinoceros hide, forcefully impacting the valley's barrier in front of them.

The barrier that appeared before them reached the sky, approximately a hundred zhang wide.

This was a massive, multi-layered defensive rune array, stacked with an unknown number of layers, causing people to gasp in awe.

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable silently glanced at the little poker face beside him. He only knew that the little poker face had been quite busy lately, continuously drawing runes in her star domain for a long time, but he hadn't known this little one had silently set up such a monstrous defensive rune array.

"Why are you looking at me?" Qiao Mu felt the gazes of Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable and Little Taisui frequently fall upon her, and she couldn't help but glance back at them.

"This is..."

Noticing the confusion on their faces, Qiao Mu said calmly, "I stacked ninety-nine triple-layered defensive rune arrays."

Everyone: ...

"I used ninety-nine triple-layered defensive rune arrays to construct a large defensive array diagram."

"The effect seems pretty good, right?" Her Ladyship Qiao Qiao sighed. "It's just that the offensive arrays inside, like the phantom rune arrays, confinement arrays, and maze arrays, probably won't be usable."

"Looking at how long they've been bombarding it, with this kind of power, it would probably take them over a year to get through this grand defensive array I set up."

Everyone: ...

Young Master Ding couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. "Then we can all actually go rest. There's no need to stay up half the night, wasting time with these fools."

"Dream on," Qiao Mu's gaze shifted to him. "Eliminate all these man-made monsters."

"Using the rhinoceros hide under their ears as a criterion. The first hundred people who acquire the most rhinoceros hide will receive an additional three Qiong Tian Jade Dragon Pills as a reward."

The elites of the Three Continents roared in excitement, immediately forming well-trained small square formations and encircling the rhinoceros-hide people in front of the defensive wall for a fierce assault.

"Boom!" The clash between the group and the rhinoceros-hide creatures produced sparks.

Countless spiritual energy attacks flew indiscriminately towards the rhinoceros-hide people.

Qiao Mu turned to look in the direction of Long Xiangyun and Ding Yun, and suddenly smiled. "Guess how all these Tianyun people came to our island?"

"They appeared precisely in the Snow Ridge Valley without a sound."

"Could they sense Hall Master Mu's aura from a thousand miles away and linger in that Snow Ridge Valley?"

Long Xiangyun immediately jumped up in alarm. "You're not suspecting us of secretly colluding with someone from Tianyun, are you?"

Qiao Mu stared at her fixedly for a long while.

The latter's eyes held a hint of anger and surprise, along with an indescribable disappointment.

"Alright, I apologize, I was overly suspicious," Qiao Mu nodded, looking at Long Hui. "Young Master Long, how do you think these rhinoceros-hide people managed to arrive at Snow Island without a sound?"

Long Hui sighed. "They were probably brought in inside spatial containers."

He gazed at her fixedly for a moment. "Cousin, I hope... we can at least trust each other."

Qiao Mu returned his gaze.
