Chapter 5184: 5.0936 Sacred Fruit

Didn't they agree before that someone would stall the Crown Prince, preventing his quick return? On this side, they would try their best to finish this grand act as quickly as possible. But what was happening now? Could this act even continue? The Crown Prince, this great Buddha, had appeared. How could anyone continue acting!

The Saintess of Zhaoguang was both anxious and resentful. She quickly shook off the hand of one of the hidden guards, biting the bullet and continuing, "Regardless, please, Your Highness, let us save her first." The act still had to go on, and it absolutely had to, otherwise this trip today would be meaningless. "Our sister is in mortal danger; we must rescue her immediately!"

Damn these attending guests, they're all freaks! They clearly know the truth and have witnessed with their own eyes the close relationship between the Crown Princess and the Tianyun Hall Master. Yet, when facing the Crown Prince, they only knew to push Zhaoguang forward as a scapegoat, not mentioning anything else, just saying that Zhaoguang angered the Crown Princess, and hastily trying to dissociate themselves from Zhaoguang. Could these people be any more shameless?

The Saintess of Zhaoguang gnashed her teeth in secret resentment. She never expected that these members of great aristocratic families, along with those officials, were all the same. Daring not to confront the little Crown Princess, they pushed Zhaoguang's people out as scapegoats. Utterly shameless!

"Take them away!" Mo Lian impatiently waved his hand. More and more hidden guards popped out from various nooks and crannies, taking forced removal measures against the Zhaoguang group.

The Saintess of Zhaoguang and her entourage struggled and screamed, sharply accusing, "What do you want to do? Are you not even giving us a chance to save someone! Let go, let go of me, you bastards! Don't you dare bully us innocent citizens just because of your status and power, ah, ah!"

The group, led by You Ba and the You Court Guards, were beaten to the ground with sticks, struggling fiercely.

As the two sides were locked in struggle, the Saintess of Zhaoguang frantically crawled out from the crowd. She threw herself beside the dying Zhaoguang female disciple on the ground, trembling as she cradled her head, performing a flawless act with tears streaming down her face.

Just as a hidden guard rushed forward, the Saintess of Zhaoguang suddenly raised her hand, revealing a small white jade porcelain bottle to everyone. She cried out sharply, "I have a way to save this sister who was gnawed by the corpse puppet! I truly do have a way."

Qiao Mu stared at the woman before her with a pair of cold, black almond eyes, her expression shifting between sunny and overcast.

The Saintess of Zhaoguang also knew that her acting at this moment was quite stiff! Logically, if these hidden guards hadn't come to disrupt the scene, the Zhaoguang disciples should have been weeping and pleading with her to save their sister. Then she would have deliberated, prioritized the overall situation, and reluctantly taken out the porcelain bottle to save the person.

But now, having been beaten wildly by these people, she had no choice but to skip directly to the last step, raising the porcelain bottle in her hand and shouting out. The attention of everyone present naturally focused on the porcelain bottle in her hand.

The Saintess of Zhaoguang took a deep breath and poured a pure green, crystal-clear small fruit from the porcelain bottle, holding it in her hand for everyone to see.

"This is the only Sacred Fruit in the world. It is the spirit of all trees, the Sacred Tree! The fruit it bears can cure all poisons in the world, including corpse poison."

As the Saintess of Zhaoguang's words fell, Qiao Mu's eyes instantly transformed into two pools of extremely cold, abyssal ice...
