Chapter 4684: 5.0436 I Had No Choice

Patriarch Duo Qiang's eyes lit up slightly. "Patriarch Long means...?"

"We also plan to make a move on that desolate island," Long Qian said indifferently.

Duo Qiang was startled, then looked at Long Qian with suspicion. "Isn't that your granddaughter?"

"We've long since broken ties," Long Qian waved her hand impatiently, scoffing as she looked at Duo Qiang. "Such a big commotion happened at our Forgetfulness River Long clan's territory last time. You're so close to us, Patriarch Duo, would you not know?"

Duo Qiang could only rub his nose, giving an awkward smile. "Alright, since it's a cooperative relationship, I'd also like to know what kind of fighting force Patriarch Long will deploy."

"The Thirteenth Elder."

Duo Qiang's eyes immediately widened.

"You mean you're calling the Thirteenth Elder back from the Sacred Domain...?"

"This is a matter of life and death for our clan," Long Qian said faintly.

She lowered her gaze, and Duo Qiang suddenly realized that this Patriarch Long had a truly ruthless heart. One must know that if it were anyone else, they would never be willing to harm their own blood granddaughter. A woman of iron blood was indeed a woman of iron blood, truly extraordinary, unlike ordinary women.

"I had no choice," Long Qian dropped this sentence, rose, and began walking out. "Patriarch Duo, my clan's fighting force has been revealed. You should also have a corresponding force to cooperate with me."

"Don't you want to save your son?"

Long Qian had heard a little about Duo Shanming's situation. She turned to look at Duo Qiang. "From my understanding of her, your son is probably in grave danger."

The little poker face was too decisive in her killings; it was unlikely she'd let Duo Shanming live.

Duo Qiang's eyes narrowed, and immense rage accumulated within them. "How confident are you?"

"Ninety percent," Long Qian said indifferently. "That's her temper. Patriarch Duo, prepare for the worst as soon as possible."

Duo Qiang furiously smashed the nearby tabletop. "If anything happens to my son, I'll pull out her tendons and skin her, so she can never reincarnate."

Long Qian merely gave Duo Qiang a cold glance, then withdrew her gaze and slowly walked towards the door.

"Gather tomorrow morning. I hope, Patriarch Duo, that you'll have all your people ready before dawn."

Qiao Mu jolted, almost rolling out of her covers.

She rubbed her eyes, quickly threw off the blanket, and ran barefoot towards the direction of the phoenix.

She snuck behind the tree and spied on her husband for a while.

She found him completely still, calm as water, with no signs of waking up.

Qiao Mu raised her hand and pressed her chest, muttering softly to herself, "I suddenly felt inexplicably anxious earlier, thinking something had happened to my husband."

Her husband was perfectly fine.

Qiao Mu then decided to let her divine sense roam around the star domain.

She found Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable lazily sleeping in a hammock, Saint Child Mi Yan meditating, and Little Taisui peeling peanuts to go with wine.

As her divine sense swept past, the three of them simultaneously raised their eyes, showing expressions of confusion.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you always spying on us when there's nothing wrong?" Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable simply got up and swung lazily in the hammock.

"What? Qiao Qiao's spying!" A panicked shout came from a distance, "I'm bathing!"

Qiao Mu's small face instantly darkened, and she snapped, "Bathe all you want, I find it offensive to my eyes!"

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable chuckled. "Qiao Qiao, where are you?"
