Chapter 5181: 5.0933 Gnawing

Aunt Fei, vigilantly adopting a stance, conjured a spiritual aura in her hand and loudly exclaimed, "Crown Princess, please think carefully, this is your nephew's hundred-day banquet! Are you perhaps wishing for blood to stain the hundred-day banquet?"

The little Crown Princess's movements paused slightly. Her eyes shifted, and she spotted the adorable, round-headed, chubby little fellow held in Peony's arms. The flickering electric light on the Startling Thunder Sword slowly subsided.

Qiao Mu's eyes, cold as ice, stared at the Zhaoguang group. "I'll give you one minute to clean this place up and get out of my house immediately."

"From now on, if I ever see you people cheating and swindling on the streets again, don't blame my sword for being merciless."

"We are here to find Tianyun…" The Saintess of Zhaoguang's words were cut short as Aunt Fei covered her mouth. The latter, with a serious expression, cupped her hands towards the little Crown Princess. "Crown Princess, please forgive us. Zhaoguang has no intention of opposing you. Our stance is actually the same as yours."

The little Crown Princess scoffed. "As for Tianyun and me, the past accounts are vivid in my mind. I will demand every single one back from them."

"As for you… you were never my concern. It's best if we each go our own way and have no dealings with each other."

"If any of you insist on provoking me, I will make you understand how red tomorrow's flowers will be. How beautiful tomorrow's sunset can be!"

"Still not leaving?!" The little Crown Princess, her small face expressionless, uttered a faint roar.

Aunt Fei took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and was about to pull the Saintess of Zhaoguang away when a strange roar suddenly came from behind them. Several people turned to look, only to see a decaying face abruptly appear behind them.

The guests who saw the corpse puppet's decaying face all let out sharp screams, retreating in chaotic haste. Although they were quite far from the corpse puppet at the arched entrance, the corpse puppet's face truly startled everyone. Unexpectedly seeing such a creature, no one's mood could be good.

Especially when that thing pounced forward and suddenly seized one of Zhaoguang's members. The Zhaoguang female disciple shrieked in terror, her face almost pressed against the corpse puppet's. The ladies present almost fainted at the sight. Putting themselves in her shoes, if they were the ones in such close contact with this corpse puppet, they would surely fall ill from fright… They couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for that Zhaoguang female disciple.

Looking at the woman, who appeared to be in her early twenties, now being embraced and gnawed upon by the corpse puppet, her life was surely over. How pitiful.

"Quick, pull that thing away, quick!" The Saintess of Zhaoguang said with a cold, angry face.

More than a dozen Zhaoguang male and female disciples, one after another, retrieved uniquely shaped iron hooks from their inner realms. They all simultaneously flung them out, hooking the corpse puppet from all directions. The iron hooks pierced through the corpse puppet's limb bones, firmly securing it.

The corpse puppet's two arms, being hooked by several iron hooks, finally released the woman it had been embracing and gnawing on.

"Oh my heavens, she's completely disfigured!" a noblewoman blurted out.

Everyone looked sideways, only to see the Zhaoguang female disciple who had just been gnawed upon by the corpse puppet now lying weakly on the ground, seemingly taking shallow breaths. It looked like she wasn't going to make it.
