Chapter 5186: 5.0938 The Last Fragment

How could this Saintess of Zhaoguang be so unreasonable, even after she put on such a performance?

Didn't he see the "Sacred Fruit" she produced, which saved a dying female disciple right before everyone's eyes? Didn't he understand what that meant?

It meant that she, the Saintess of Zhaoguang, could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones, capable of resolving the series of disasters caused by Tianyun. She could save those ordinary people infected by corpse poison. As long as she wished, as long as she was willing, the entire Zhaoguang organization could save even more people from dire straits in the future.

How could he, as the Crown Prince of Shenzhou, be so short-sighted? Could he really disregard the great affairs of the nation and the world just for the sake of that little Crown Princess? How utterly selfish! Was he worthy of the trust of the people of Shenzhou, worthy of his ancestors?!

As the Saintess of Zhaoguang thought of this, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her forehead. She was being held down by her head and slapped onto the ground?

"You, what are you doing!" The Saintess was furious, her body twisting back and forth in the person's grip. "You! Ah. Don't, don't hit, stop hitting!"

Her head was slapped several times in quick succession. The Saintess of Zhaoguang was no match for the You Court Guards. Along with Aunt Fei and her group, they were all subdued on the spot by the hidden guards, forced to kneel neatly in two rows.

"Speak," Qiao Mu said faintly, staring at the Saintess of Zhaoguang kneeling at the very front. "Where have you placed the Sacred Wood fragment?"

This Saintess of Zhaoguang was truly an interesting person. She sought them out herself, allowing the little tree, Qiuqiu, to sense the tiny bit of Sacred Wood power contained within her body. Indeed, the Saintess of Zhaoguang hadn't lied; she had indeed used the power of the Sacred Wood Spirit.

But unfortunately, it wasn't as she boasted, that she had personally comprehended the power of the Wood Spirit Origin. Instead, it was like how the Divine Water Sect borrowed the power of the Sacred Water; this Saintess was the same. Borrowing versus personal comprehension—those were entirely different.

Qiuqiu told her through divine consciousness that this Sacred Wood fragment was not currently on the Saintess of Zhaoguang. Its aura was faint and elusive, suggesting that this rather cunning Saintess had hidden it.

"I, I don't understand what you're saying." The Saintess of Zhaoguang trembled slightly in her heart and immediately spoke those words.

Qiao Mu didn't waste any more words with her, directly giving a look to You Ba. The latter nodded, lifted the Saintess of Zhaoguang, and motioned to the You Court Guard brothers to take down all the Zhaoguang members, big and small, male and female, and drag them out the door.

Judging by this posture, it was highly likely that everyone here would be imprisoned. The Zhaoguang members then panicked and cried out, "No, no! Crown Prince, Crown Princess!"

"We, we are, we are from Zhaoguang, not, not Tianyun!"

"Yes, Crown Prince, we are a sect that fights against Tianyun alongside all the people of Shenzhou! You cannot treat us like this."

"Our Sacred Fruit has saved so many people; you cannot arrest us, you cannot drag us to prison!"

"Yes, yes, our Saintess, oh!"

These noisy sounds were silenced by a few kicks from the You Court Guards. The hidden guards didn't care if they were suffering or making a fuss. They had received the Crown Prince's order, and their only job was to drag the people out.

"Qiuqiu's last fragment is related to this woman. She cannot die for now."
