Chapter 5073: 5.0825 Too Fast a Change

"Yes!" Empress Bai nodded in agreement, thinking to herself: Later, I must go with my son and daughter-in-law to see the dozen or so unique talisman arrays my daughter-in-law set up and broaden my horizons.

The mother and son gathered to lavish praise on Qiao Mu, while the person in question gave them a helpless glance.

Seeing them speak excitedly, Qiao Mu simply pulled Crown Prince Mo's sleeve in exasperation, pointing at the fake Crown Princess lying on the ground.

Mo Lian glanced over, only to see the fake, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly move her limbs.

Her hands, in a very twisted posture, slightly turned behind her back.

Qiao Mu's eyes moved, and upon closer inspection, she indeed found transparent threads connected to the fake's hands and feet.

As the threads moved, the fake immediately crawled up, moving a few steps forward with a stiff posture, two cold beams emanating from her eyes, dimly staring at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu had not feared her even when she was alive, let alone this puppet being controlled.

She contemptuously swept her gaze over the fake, drawing three attacking purple talismans in quick succession in the void, which rapidly struck towards the puppet's head.

Fierce attacks landed on the fake's head three times in a row. The latter let out an unpleasant roar, her sharp fingernails scraping against the ground several times, and filth dripped from her mouth.

"Why does Your Excellency hide? Since you've come, show yourself quickly!" Empress Bai couldn't help but smile, and with a wave of her hand, two flying fireballs slammed towards the side of the eaves.

With a crisp "bang," fine powder fell from the palace beam.

A black figure then suddenly landed.

The newcomer crouched in a defensive posture. Beneath his veiled mask, a pair of dark, small eyes flickered with cunning light.

"Your talisman art isn't bad." Qiao Mu, without another word, immediately launched nine attacking talismans at him.

The latter's expression changed instantly. He dodged left and right, trying to avoid her attacks, but as he moved, he slammed into a defensive wall behind him. Only then did he realize that, at some unknown point, four defensive walls had appeared around him.

No, he had been trapped within a defensive talisman array by the little Crown Princess the moment he revealed himself.

This hateful brat, her methods are truly impressive.

The Grand Imperial Master had known early on that attempting to impersonate this little Crown Princess would be an extremely difficult task.

So, they had made thorough preparations, placing an Imitation Talisman on Lili'er No. Zero. If she encountered the real Crown Princess, she could use the Imitation Talisman to deceive others first.

Moreover, the Grand Imperial Master had explicitly told them from the beginning to just enter the palace, as people had already been sent to delay the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

However, now...

Clearly, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Everything was doomed to fail because of the little Crown Princess's return to the palace.

Damn it!

Why did things suddenly escalate to this point?!

All the people the Grand Imperial Master sent to delay the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were useless. So many people couldn't even stop two young individuals.

The puppet master awkwardly dodged several attacking talismans flying from Qiao Mu. As he turned, he accidentally hit his head against the defensive wall.

At that moment, he was utterly stunned.

He felt a sizzling current from the defensive wall,酸爽地滑过他周身, a shocking sensation that coursed through his body, electrocuting him and slamming him heavily to the ground.

A thousand "wth"s flashed through the puppet master's mind...

His eyes were wide with terror, almost bulging, and he quickly turned to look in Qiao Mu's direction.
