Chapter 4887: 5.0639 Surprise
As the old steward said this, Dou Xinwu and a few others nodded frantically.
Yes, how could they let the little poker face leave alone like that?
They quickly followed Old Steward Luo, pushing aside branches, trying to pass through where Qiao Mu and Mo had left.
However, an extremely heavy pressure suddenly repelled several of them. After a "bang," a terrifying buzzing sound echoed in their ears.
Everyone felt as if their eardrums were about to be dislodged. They looked up again, fixing their gaze.
They saw an elliptical barrier, stretching from the heavens to the earth, like a covered bowl, blocking all of them from proceeding.
"Mmmph, mmmph!" Dou Xinwu pointed frantically at her throat, angrily stamping her feet and gesticulating wildly.
In her heart, she had already cursed Qiao Mu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
This perverse, dead woman actually dared to poison her to make her mute!
She must be following that secret realm's guardian spirit, going ahead to the deeper parts of the Sacred Lotus Realm to find treasures.
With her having gotten a head start like this, what could the rest of them possibly find in the secret realm?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, yet there was nothing she could do. Dou Xinwu furiously stamped her foot again.
Alas, even if she stomped through the ground, she couldn't leave this place for now.
"This barrier seal is quite sturdy," Young Master Qin Er said, trying to push out a palm strike.
"If everyone concentrates their power and attacks the same spot, how long until we can get out of here?" Old Steward Luo quickly asked.
"At least an hour!"
Qiao Mu followed Mo's ethereal figure, flying for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Seeing Mo stop in front of some withered grass, Qiao Mu looked around. "What's here?"
"Come!" Mo pulled her hand and waved her sleeve, pushing aside the grass leaves in front of them.
She saw the layers of grass leaves recede to both sides, and one after another, various colored lotus flowers bloomed before her eyes.
Qiao Mu paused, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but quicken her pace, walking a few steps forward.
From her vantage point, the lake was covered with all sorts of lotuses, petals pressing against petals, their faint fragrance spreading with the lake breeze.
Layers upon layers of lotuses intertwined, making it feel as if one had arrived in a celestial realm.
"Qiao, Qiao. Pick, pick?" Mo slowly uttered a few words, raising a finger to point at the lake full of lotus flowers before her.
She pointed to the most plump lotus in the center, which glowed with nine colors, then raised her hand to pat her own chest.
That little expression, as if to say, "We're friends, feel free to pick as many as you want," was quite disarming.
"Ah, oh, good, good," Qiao Mu's eyes darted back and forth. She tugged at Mo's hand and asked, "You've lived here all this time. Have you ever seen other soul entities?"
"Yes, yes!!" Mo nodded repeatedly, looking quite adorable and a little傻 (silly).
Lord Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Where are they? Take me to see."
Mo pulled her hand, floated to the center of the lake for a while, and then gracefully flew to a white lotus flower and stood there.
"Look, look!" Mo pushed Qiao Mu's small body, turning her around and gesturing for her to look ahead.
Qiao Mu, upon seeing this, was somewhat dumbfounded.
On a crimson lotus flower nearby, a delicate, jade-like, expressionless girl sat cross-legged.
Isn't that signature poker face none other than her own main body?
There was actually her fourth soul fragment here!
It was truly surprising.
