Chapter 4745: Settling Scores Later (2)

"You trespassed into the Forgetful River Domain, causing instability here, and you must bear the consequences," the Heavenly Dao said with a cold, stern face.

Its perfectly serious expression made everyone's hearts pound.

The thirteen elders from the Saint Realm, their current state of mind was a world apart from earlier. The more arrogant they were before, the more cowardly they seemed now...

At their current level, as long as they didn't seek death, they generally wouldn't die.

But now, judging by the Heavenly Dao's intent, it was going to make an example of them for punishment. Who wouldn't panic?

The elder whose neck was still entangled by the lightning whip hastily retreated a few steps, his old face twisted in pain as he pleaded for mercy, "Venerable One, please forgive us! We, we were truly summoned. If, if there's any fault, we, at most, were negligent."

"Splash." Long Xiangyun and Long Hui emerged from the sea one after another, immediately seeing the standoff between the two sides.

Long Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat. She put down the coffin she was carrying with one hand and forcefully squeezed Long Hui's hand with the other, gesturing with her eyes for him not to speak nonsense later.

They saw the Heavenly Dao's small figure standing in mid-air.

Opposite it stood the thirteen elders, lined up like quails.

Little Commander, Dao Wuji, and their group were all healing their wounds. At the sound of the water, they hastily turned their gazes.

When they saw that it was only Long Xiangyun and Long Hui who emerged, a flicker of disappointment crossed their eyes.

"Hurry and recover. Later, come with me to see what's happening," Little Commander said to Dao Wuji, a faint worry lingering in his heart.

To be honest, the shaking of the ground below earlier was quite concerning.

He wondered how Qiao Qiao and Immortal Lord Peach Blossom were doing now.

The latter's usually playful expression turned grave as he nodded to him, "Understood."

"Venerable One," the Saint Realm elder turned and saw Long Xiangyun and Long Hui, his face tightening as he quickly called out to them, "Where is your grandmother? Let Long Qian come out and explain clearly."

"Venerable One, it's true that we crossed the boundary this time, but there was a reason. We were also deceived. We thought the secret technique that Clan Leader Long used to summon us was like a divine descent talisman, within the scope allowed by the Heavenly Dao."

Long Xiangyun's eyes flickered slightly, staring coldly at the elder before her, her face calmly stating, "Elder, are you trying to push all the responsibility onto our Clan Leader?"

Useless trash. So many people came, yet they couldn't even deal with that troublemaker, Qiao Mu.

She truly regretted it now, bringing these useless good-for-nothings to Forgetful River. Not only did it exhaust her and break her heart, but it also caused her own body's demise. Now she could only possess and be reborn.

Her granddaughter's body couldn't withstand her powerful divine soul at all. Within an hour, this body would also collapse.

At that time...

If her divine soul couldn't re-possess a body and be reborn, it would turn to ashes.

This outcome was clearly not what Long Qian wanted to see.

"Where is Long Qian? Make her come out and explain clearly," the elder said angrily. "In fact, it was indeed she who used a secret technique, a summons, to bring us here, wasn't it?"

Now that this situation had arisen, even the Heavenly Dao had been alarmed and arrived. Someone had to take responsibility for this matter.

This person, besides Long Qian, was none other!

Long Xiangyun's face twisted slightly for a moment. Before Long Hui could speak, she squeezed his hand fiercely.
