Chapter 4992: 5.0744 Conspiracy

"Splash!" After a splash, a few half-hanging corpse fish on the boat were kicked into the water.

"The water source around Wangchuan is severely polluted," Shen Wu said grimly. "It seems this place won't even need three more years before it's eliminated due to the harsh environment."

Having dealt with the corpse fish at the entrance to the Abyssal Sea, Feng Chen said solemnly, "Qiao Qiao's aura is flickering. It seems she must have been here before, but she left a day or two ago."

"Could she have gone back to Dragon Flame City first?"

Mo Lian pondered for a moment, then nodded faintly. "Very likely."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back immediately," the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable quickly said.

Mo Lian was already eager to return, wanting to rush back immediately. He wondered how Qiao Qiao was doing now. She must be calling him a big liar every day...

"No time to lose, let's head back at once," the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable urged, his gaze falling on the two bound individuals at the bow of the boat. "How should we deal with them?"

"Since we've learned everything we needed, there's no need to keep them," Mo Lian replied indifferently, merely glancing at Shen Nan Gui before turning his gaze away.

Shen Nan Gui's heart leaped, and he stammered out a few sounds. Jisi gave him an unceremonious glare, then reached up and removed the cloth gag from his mouth.

"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, I, we have already revealed everything we know, without holding anything back! Please, please spare our lives!"

Crown Prince Mo heard this and turned to give them a cold, sweeping glance. Such a bone-chilling, heart-piercing gaze made both Shen Nan Gui and Lily No. 0 shut their mouths, no longer daring to interject.

The Crown Prince before them had sharp, piercing eyes, as if his entire being exuded an icy coldness, noble and dazzling, making people afraid to look directly at him.

Lily No. 0 lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. "Crown Prince, I, I also know that the Duoluo Kingdom is plotting to secretly attack Dragon Flame City..."

"Lily No. 0!!" Shen Nan Gui gasped in horror, making a move to try and get up to cover Lily No. 0's mouth. However, Jisi was quick. She pressed his hand back down, pushing him hard. "Behave yourself, don't move your hands and feet around."

Mo Lian's gaze darkened as he stared at the ragged, blood-stained, and utterly disheveled woman. This woman had fallen into the sea several times earlier, and her head had hit the boat several times. Although the wound on her forehead had scabbed over, a dirty, discolored blood scab looked extremely unappealing.

Lily No. 0 wore a knowing expression, repeatedly calling out, "I, I overheard it. When the Grand Imperial Advisor and the King were discussing matters, I, I just happened to hear snippets of their conversation."

"Th-they are secretly plotting to attack Dragon Flame City. I, I swear it's the truth!"

Damn it! Mo Lian's eyes, cold as ice, swept over the pale-faced Shen Nan Gui. He suddenly raised his hand and pulled him towards his feet.

Shen Nan Gui felt a powerful, irresistible force. His body involuntarily moved with the pulling force, dragged over.

"Ah, you, you all!" Shen Nan Gui couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise. When he felt his head being gripped, his face instantly turned pale.

Mo Lian hadn't originally intended to soul-search him, as there was an anomaly in this person's sea of consciousness.
