Chapter 5201: 5.0953 Intentional, Right?

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that someone could force a half-finished Sacred Fruit into existence. The problem was that these fruits, forcefully created, not only had only one-tenth of the original Sacred Fruit's efficacy, but such brutal methods would also cause considerable damage to that Sacred Wood fragment, offering no benefits.

Qiuqiu worried that this Sacred Wood fragment was now on the verge of being "barely alive," which was why its aura was so faint and elusive. She was extremely anxious to know the fragment's condition and showed no mercy when interrogating Saintess Yuan Maoyi. She didn't mind using the most vicious methods to extract the whereabouts of Qiuqiu's fragment from this woman. This matter concerned her most important companion and could absolutely not be treated carelessly or ignored.

Yuan Maoyi swallowed hard and then said, "The fragment is, is collected by our Zhaoguang's Saint. And, and I was just fortunate enough to wear, wear this fragment for a few days. Therefore, a trace of its aura remains, which you, you detected." As she spoke, Yuan Maoyi's eyes flickered slightly.

"The people of Tianyun basically know what I possess. It's well-known that I not only hold Sacred Water but also have Sacred Wood by my side. You should know about this, right? You intentionally let me detect the Sacred Wood fragment's aura."

"But what I want to know is, why do you think I would humble myself and ask you for the location of the Sacred Wood fragment?"

She glanced at her indifferently. "Saintess of Zhaoguang, I'll ask you one more time. Are you affiliated with Tianyun?"

The Saintess of Zhaoguang immediately looked as if she had been insulted by something, shaking her head repeatedly and vehemently denying it. "N-no, no! Our Zhaoguang and Tianyun have no connection whatsoever."

"The reason our organization grew is entirely because we all gathered together, taking it upon ourselves to maintain peace in the three continents, create prosperity, and strike against Tianyun."

Qiao Mu curved her lips. "You almost had me convinced." Unfortunately, she didn't believe a single word this woman said.

"Tell me, if I use you as bait, would your Saint be willing to exchange you for the Sacred Wood fragment?"

Yuan Maoyi immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum. "N-no, impossible, impossible." She shook her head repeatedly. "The fragment is in the Saint's hands. The Saint values the fragment more than life itself. How could he exchange it for me?"

Qiao Mu let out a small laugh upon hearing this, then raised her hand and patted Yuan Maoyi's face. "There are exceptions to everything, aren't there?"

Yuan Maoyi only felt that the little Crown Princess's hand was as cold as a withered bone from the bottom of a deep, cold pond, making her shiver several times involuntarily. She truly couldn't understand this little Crown Princess. What exactly did she mean by that?

"I heard that your Zhaoguang's main altar is located in an abandoned temple in the western suburbs of Longyan City?"

Yuan Maoyi didn't know where the little Crown Princess's "heard" came from. In fact, very few outsiders knew the location of their main altar. Since it was established in the temple, no outsiders had ever entered or exited, except for their own members. The little Crown Princess being able to find the location of the Zhaoguang headquarters overnight made Yuan Maoyi shiver. She didn't know whether to say the Crown Princess was powerful or the Crown Prince was powerful. The methods of this couple were truly a bit terrifying.
