Chapter 4759: Never, Ever

"This can also be considered an unbreakable connection in the midst of fate."

"A bad karma, more like," Qiao Mu retorted unceremoniously.

Otherwise, why would things have come to such a pass with the Forgetful River Long clan?

Long Xuanji couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head. "Child, the Forgetful River Long clan has gone to Cold Valley. They might not return for ten or even a hundred years."

"See, can you forgive them now?"

"Never, ever," Qiao Mu interrupted Senior Xuanji coldly.

"Senior, you have been kind to me. If you wish for me to spare them, then so be it."

Qiao Mu said with a cold expression, "But it ends here."

"I have long had nothing to do with the Forgetful River Long clan. Senior, you have been gone for many years, you should rest easy now."

Her unspoken meaning was, Senior, please do not interfere in matters between the Long clan and me anymore.

Long Qian had led people to pursue and ambush her.

She had even allied with the Forgetful River Duoshi clan to encircle and annihilate her.

She even went so far as to awaken an incredibly powerful Saint Beast.

Though she failed to harm Qiao Mu, she caused Mo Lian and Immortal Lord Peach Blossom to face unknown fates.

For her to forgive them after all this would be utterly insane.

Now, it was only because Long Qian and the thirteen Saint Realm elders had all been annihilated.

Qiao Mu could spare the minor figures of the Forgetful River Long clan, but that didn't mean she could reconcile with them.

Long Xuanji was choked by the little girl's words and could only nod with a helpless expression.

"Qiao Qiao," Long Xuanji sighed, "I am very sorry."

Qiao Mu's eyes were cold. She said nothing more, only gave Long Xuanji a slight nod, then turned and walked towards Xuanhuang.

Long Xuanji silently watched her stiff back as she departed, then softly said to Long Hui, "Take care of yourselves."

Her figure faintly lost its luminescence and dissipated like mist.

"Ancestor."

"Ancestor!" Long Hui and the others called out, watching Long Xuanji's figure fade until nothing remained.

Qiao Mu, her back to Long Xuanji, slightly clenched her small hands, enduring without turning back.

The tangled web of karma between her and the Forgetful River Long clan had been completely severed the moment she turned away.

She didn't want to look back, not even to glance at Long Xuanji one more time.

It was all over...

Although Long Qian was not killed by her, she died because of her.

The thirteen Saint Realm elders also perished in the Forgetful River Sea due to Long Qian's summons.

Regardless, the presence of this blood would always stand between her and the Forgetful River Long clan.

Qiao Mu walked to Xuanhuang's side and met her Master's gaze.

Xuanhuang raised a hand and stroked her head. "Don't be sad, Little Darling."

"Master, in the Sacrificial Sea Abyss, did you not find..."

Xuanhuang looked at her throughout the night, her expression slightly solemn as she nodded.

"The bottom is endlessly deep, Little Darling. Your soul is unstable; you absolutely cannot go down."

As soon as she finished speaking, Master saw her little disciple's expression, which looked on the verge of tears.

She quickly reached out and pulled Little Darling into her embrace, trying her best to smooth the child's hair...

"Be good, Little Darling, don't be sad. Master went down and investigated. Although that place is very strange, it's not a deadly trap for those two boys who fell down, nor is their lives at risk."

"Master, then can they still come back?"

"Of course, they can." As Xuanhuang spoke, she turned her head and glared fiercely at the Heavenly Dao.

The latter wore an innocent, helpless expression towards her.

What could the Heavenly Dao say?

The invisible natural suction force in the Sacrificial Sea Abyss was not something it could control.

Was it its fault then?
