Chapter 4826: Malevolent Spirit

"The available information is quite limited. It says that their territory is surrounded by man-eating black swamps. The swamps are infested with man-eating insects and ants, making passage quite difficult."

Ye stood silently, habitually listening intently to His Majesty's words.

"The vicinity is a no-fly zone; not a single bird can pass through their formations."

"Additionally, once you step within the Duo Luo Kingdom's territory, your spiritual consciousness will also be shielded by that formation."

Duan Yue looked up at Ye and said, "Take a thousand men. Bring the best formation masters, pharmacists, and special ability users. Within ten days, I want to hear good news from you."

"Yes," Ye nodded heavily.

Ordering Hugang to send troops to attack the Duo Luo Kingdom was merely a public display.

What Duan Yue truly wanted to eradicate were those damned "Lili'ers."

He wanted Ye to lead the shadow guards to destroy the Duo Luo Kingdom's laboratory.

He wanted all those chaotic "Lili'ers" to vanish from the face of the earth.

What exactly did the Duo Luo Kingdom intend to do?

After settling these matters, Duan Yue summoned Little Kezi, spoke a few words, and then left the study to call out Lizi.

Little Kezi watched His Majesty's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

His Majesty said it would take at least half a month to return, but he wondered if it would truly be as His Majesty wished.

How correct Miss Xueyuan's prophecy was! If we don't obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Merman Pearl, our entire family will face destruction. This is all your fault, your fault! You are the eternal sinner of the Wangchuan Long family; you are the one who caused the ruin of the entire Wangchuan Long family!

Qiao Mu suddenly opened her eyes, letting out a long breath. Her gaze was cold as she stared at the drifting bed curtains above, her eyes abruptly turning intensely chilling.

Even her ancestor said that the Ten-Thousand-Year Merman Pearl chose her mother of its own accord.

Neither her mother nor she had done anything wrong. The fault lay only in human desires and delusions.

Heh, human greed is insatiable. When they busily toiled solely for a Ten-Thousand-Year Merman Pearl, they wasted a great deal of time.

They never thought of improving themselves through their own abilities, only wanting to rely on luck?

Yet, is luck, such an ethereal thing, something everyone can possess? Heh!

A cluster of faint black fire emerged from the ruler beneath her sleeve.

"Wanting to cause trouble in my dreams with a wisp of soul?" Qiao Mu's voice was chilling. "Let the sacred fire that burns all things under heaven take you to hell."

"Seer Tu."

A faint ripple appeared in the air before her.

In less than a few seconds, the air before her became tranquil again, without any change.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump." There was an urgent knocking on the cabin door, and Qin Er's voice emerged. "Qiao Qiao, what happened?"

For a moment just now, there seemed to be a hidden soul fluctuation.

Strangely, it seemed to have vanished now.

Qiao Mu's crisp, cold voice suddenly rang out, "Nothing. A small malevolent spirit tried to enter my dream, and it has been dealt with."

"Then do you need to..."

"I'm sleeping," Qiao Mu coldly interrupted his question.

Second Young Master Qin waited outside the door for a while, only hearing steady breathing from inside the cabin, with no other sound.

It seemed Qiao Mu had settled back down.

As Qin Er turned, he was met by his elder brother's smiling gaze.

"Oh, what happened?" the First Young Master asked, blinking.

Second Young Master Qin left without a word, not even bothering to give his brother a glance.
