Chapter 5105: 5.0857 Suppression

After all, seeing three or four giant beasts simultaneously appear and chase after them, tearing and biting, wasn't exactly a common sight.

Mainly, they didn't dare to casually summon their spirit beasts from their space.

There wasn't much use in summoning them anyway. The opponent's little hill-like three-headed giant dog, just by squatting there and roaring at them, would make all their spirit beasts lie down obediently, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

This sacred beast suppression was a complete mental subjugation, something ordinary spirit beasts simply couldn't withstand.

Mo Lian lowered his head to check. Seeing that his little wife was safe and sound, he relaxed and smiled faintly at her. "Qiao Qiao, if husband kisses you, will you forgive your husband, alright?"

"Thank your whole family!"

Qiao Mu gave him a big eye-roll and raised her small hand, directly covering his face.

This guy was getting more and more improper. In the middle of the night, with so many guards and palace maids around, he dared to be so presumptuous with Adult Qiao Qiao. Hmph, he deserved a beating!

Mo Lian pouted, pulled her small hand down, and pecked it with a smacking sound, his clear eyes utterly serious. "It's getting late; we should go home and rest. Sleeping late isn't good; you'll be tired tomorrow, and it will also affect Little Mo."

Qiao Mu thought he had a point. She glanced at the black-clad assassins, who had already been subdued and were half-kneeling on the ground, held down by numerous hidden guards.

"There are spies in Mother's palace," the little Crown Princess said with certainty.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she had just left the central palace, and immediately on her way back, a large group of assassins tried to attack her?

"Should we use a Proverb Talisman to question them, or..."

"No need." Mo Lian saw a hint of fatigue in her expression and tenderly rubbed her small face.

Look how tired his wife was. She could have been resting already. These blind assassins were truly detestable and shameless.

"Pearl."

"This servant is here." Pearl quickly stepped forward a few paces and respectfully bowed to Crown Prince Mo.

"Take all of them back to Mother's place for interrogation."

"Yes!" Pearl expressed no objection to this.

Empress Dowager held the little Crown Princess in such high regard. With something like this happening, she certainly wouldn't let it go and would undoubtedly interrogate them thoroughly overnight.

Pearl quickly called upon the hidden guards, escorting the group of black-clad assassins, yelling and scolding them all the way to the Empress's palace.

At the same time.

In the underground water dungeon of the Dali Temple.

Grand Elder Kong Yin stood silently on a raised stone, sternly looking at an old man with grayish-white hair imprisoned within the water dungeon's cage.

King Duoluo's gaze was also on Grand Elder Kong Yin at this moment. It took him a while to find his voice. "I truly didn't expect that Grand Elder Kong Yin would actually renounce the world and become a monk."

"The head figure of the Elder Council, actually becoming a monk? How can Mo Liusheng possibly bear this, hmph."

Grand Elder Kong Yin remained silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on King Duoluo, who was confined in the water dungeon cage.

The man's lower body, up to his waist, was completely submerged in icy water. His upper body was bare, with very obvious whip marks on his arms.

The Grand Elder couldn't help but shake his head, asking in a faint voice, "Is such persistence truly worth it?"

This King Fulin, if he hadn't sought his own demise by scheming for things he shouldn't have.

By now, he should have been a wealthy, leisurely prince with children and grandchildren surrounding his knees.
