Chapter 4716: 4.0468 Wavering

Honestly, Long Hui and his sister had been watching for quite a while and still didn't understand what exactly had happened. They only vaguely felt a pang in their hearts when they heard the little poker face say, "How does deprivation feel?"

Could it be that the little poker face used some strange power on Grandmother, depriving her of something within her body? But... Grandmother is just a normal cultivator; she doesn't have a Mermaid Pearl inside her. What could the little poker face have deprived her of?

Long Qian was thoroughly soaked in seawater. Her defensive shield had disappeared without her even noticing. Long Qian was now completely wilted, her hair drenched and plastered in strands across her face. Her fish tail hung limply, an utterly lifeless appearance.

Long Hui clenched his fists, glaring furiously at the little poker face. "You, you! You... what did you do to Grandmother? This is too cruel!"

Long Xiangyun quickly reached out and tugged at him. Honestly, Long Hui was incredibly contradictory. Earlier, when he discovered Grandmother intended to strike a deadly blow against Qiao Mu, his heart ached with genuine sorrow. To be frank, the little poker face merely had a bad temper and was a bit cunning; her heart was not truly evil. Of course, he disagreed a thousand, ten thousand times with Grandmother wanting to kill the little poker face. But now, seeing his always-respected Grandmother lying lifeless in his arms, he couldn't help but resent the little poker face, thinking she had acted with ruthless disregard.

Therefore, Long Hui was a contradictory, indecisive person who often wavered when faced with problems. The little poker face had spent a considerable amount of time interacting with the siblings and believed she understood their personalities quite well. Seeing his expression and demeanor now, while unimpressed, she wasn't particularly angry. It was just his nature. You couldn't say he was truly bad, but you also couldn't say he was truly good... This guy, born in peaceful times, would be quite suitable as a leisurely young master tending to flowers and plants. But if he were truly tasked with the rise and fall of a family, with his wavering personality, it wasn't Qiao Mu looking down on him; he really wasn't very suitable.

The look of "I can't be bothered with you" that the little poker face gave him almost made Young Master Long explode with frustration. He reached out to support the now unconscious Long clan patriarch, quickly pulling out two pills and forcing them into her mouth.

"Let this matter end here," Long Hui said coldly. "Grandmother was wrong first, but now you've returned the favor, it's all squared... away." His voice abruptly cut off. He suddenly saw a Soul-Locking Arrow released from Grandmother's fingers, shooting directly towards Qiao Mu's location.

Long Hui's eyes suddenly widened, his handsome face contorted. He forcefully pushed away the old woman he was holding, screaming, "Grandmother!!!"

"Grandmother!" The color drained from Long Xiangyun's face in an instant. Grandmother actually released the Forgetfulness River Long clan's most precious treasure, the Soul-Locking Arrow? Why? What deep hatred does Grandmother have for the poker face to unleash such a holy artifact as the Soul-Locking Arrow? This is meant to utterly obliterate Qiao Mu's body and soul.

Once struck by the Soul-Locking Arrow, Qiao Mu's divine soul would completely vanish from this world, beyond any hope of recovery. Long Qian had, at some point, opened her eyes, laughing maniacally, her hair disheveled like a madwoman.
