Chapter 4814: Self-Destruction

Seer Tu seemed quite agitated, constantly trying to sit upright, but she was wrapped tightly in white bandages, like a salted fish, unable to even turn over, let alone sit up.

It was utterly wishful thinking!

Qiao Mu genuinely hadn't expected First Young Master Qin to even bring back Seer Tu.

Given that it was now just dawn, in other words, this seer should have been found last night?

"What did you interrogate her about?" The little stoic raised her eyes, staring at Qin Xuan with a sharp, cold gaze.

The latter helplessly smiled at her, "Why is a child so smart?"

Seeing her about to get upset, the First Young Master quickly said, "I didn't interrogate her about anything; I just want to know the whereabouts of the five keys."

Before the little girl could frown and ask, First Young Master Qin obediently answered, "The Lotus Pond Sacred Realm is guarded by the five great families of Wangchuan. Each family holds a key. Only with these five keys can one open the passage to the depths of the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm."

"Long Hui said that the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm automatically sealed itself a year ago. Even if you get these so-called keys and open the passage, you won't be able to enter once you reach the entrance of the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm."

Qin Xuan smiled and shrugged. "Let's try. How would we know if we don't try?"

In the depths of his dark eyes, a faint glimmer subtly flickered.

Qiao Mu stood by the stern railing. From this angle, she felt his dark pupils were immeasurably deep.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Seer Tu excitedly knocked on the wooden stretcher.

At First Young Master Qin's gesture, two servants helped Seer Tu, who was inside the stretcher, to sit up.

Qiao Mu reluctantly glanced at her, clearly seeing her current appearance.

Her entire face was buried under bandages, and she was staring intently at Qiao Mu with eyes imbued with cold venom.

A faint, almost inaudible sound escaped her lips.

Qiao Mu carefully tried to distinguish it. Seer Tu, the old woman, seemed to be calling her "Mu Qiao."

Her eyes then became extremely cold as she looked over, and her aura also cooled by several degrees.

Seer Tu, with her back hunched, seemed eager to tell her something. Fragmented sounds reached Qiao Mu's ears.

She distinguished for a long time before vaguely piecing together effective information from her broken words.

Seer Tu was probably saying:

The snowfield's prophecy was correct. The Long family of Wangchuan, having lost the ten-thousand-year Merman Pearl, will eventually be submerged in the river of history as time progresses. Without the Merman Pearl, the Long family of Wangchuan is doomed!

But she struggled too much to speak, intermittently for a long time, unable to complete a single sentence.

Qiao Mu, however, was impatient to hear her ramble on. She coldly glanced at Seer Tu, negating her self-righteousness with one sentence: "You're wrong."

"The Long family of Wangchuan didn't perish because they lost the Merman Pearl; it's because you brought about your own destruction through your foolish actions."

She no longer wanted to waste words with this old woman. From the looks of it, although First Qin and Second Qin said they weren't holding her captive, they wouldn't easily let her leave this ship.

She would have to find another way to escape.

Qiao Mu's eyes rolled. She suddenly turned to Dugu Ling and said, "How about a little competition?"

Dugu Ling's head shook like a rattle-drum. "No, no, you're trying to trick me again! You want me to hit you with a palm, and then you'll use the opportunity to fly away, won't you?"

Qiao Mu snorted and abruptly turned her head away.

Wanting to find a boat to leave was naturally to stake out the Undersea Abyss and wait for Qiao Qiao's lotus.
