Chapter 5244: 5.0996 Backlash

"Then you all handle things well; I'll head back now." His wife was probably getting impatient waiting in the palace; he needed to rush home and eat with her.

"Farewell, Your Royal Highness." Xiaoye and the others secretly chuckled, lowering their heads.

Mo Lian simply pretended not to hear their laughter, galloping his horse towards the city.

It was all the fault of these ambitious scoundrels from Heavenly Fate.

It was almost the new year, and he hadn't had a single day of peace.

He was busy all day, constantly clearing out threats.

Now he even had to inspect the headquarters of Zhaoguang, keeping him spinning like a top, unable to catch a breath.

If it weren't for Heavenly Fate causing trouble all the time, at this moment, he should be constantly by his wife's side, accompanying her and their Mo baby.

Mo Lian galloped his horse all the way back to the city, eagerly heading straight for the palace.

As he galloped down Changle Street, still at the corner, his spiritual horse suddenly whinnied, almost rearing onto its hind legs.

Mo Lian slightly frowned, reaching out to pull the reins, calming the restless spiritual horse.

The spiritual horse snorted "whoosh" loudly, its hooves testing the edge of something.

Mo Lian flicked his hand, and a black flame abruptly broke through the barrier in front of him.

A faint humming sound suddenly echoed in the air.

Hmph, he hadn't known that an artificial barrier had been set up on his way back to the palace here.

What immense audacity!

At the same time, just as the Crown Prince forcefully broke through the barrier with a wave of his hand,

Two people in the crowd suddenly spat out two mouthfuls of blood with a "wah-wah" sound and instantly collapsed.

The onlookers, who had been excitedly shouting "Crown Princess, Crown Princess," were startled by this sudden change and hastily moved apart.

Two young men, pale-faced and kneeling on the ground, were revealed before everyone, falling within the little Crown Princess's line of sight.

"Haha, ha! Backlash!"

"Haha!" Qi Xuanxuan laughed gleefully, pointing at the two young men and roaring with laughter, "So it was you two who set up the barrier on Changle Street! It seems this barrier was broken from the outside! Hahahahaha!"

How ridiculous! They set up a barrier despite lacking the ability, and now they've been instantly humiliated.

Kou Hongwen's eyes, however, lit up. "It might be the Crown Prince returning."

He had seen it earlier; that barrier was quite solid, likely set up by more than one Divine Realm Level Seven expert.

To be able to break through the barrier of two Divine Realm experts in one go... hoho, this terrifying strength could only belong to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince.

And now, those two Divine Realm experts were both unconscious and spitting blood on the ground.

It was evident that when the person broke the barrier, they intentionally added something to it, and the resulting backlash directly knocked out both Divine Realm experts.

Terrifying.

Qin Cao shivered slightly and quickly gave a meaningful look to Mu Xiaoxue, who was standing dumbfounded.

Quick, quick, quick!

If they didn't hurry, once that powerful enemy who broke the barrier arrived, they might not even have a chance to retreat.

They needed to quickly say what needed to be said, and then retreat swiftly.

The common people needed time to think; these foolish, unruly commoners would then know who was human and who was a ghost.

Mu Xiaoxue understood and nodded. She suddenly spread her hands and shrieked, "Listen to me!"

"Listen to me, everybody quiet down and listen to me for a moment!"

At this point, she no longer cared that she was completely drenched from head to toe, her whole body smelling of salted fish in a pathetic state.

She also stopped trying to converse with the little Crown Princess, lest she be angered to death by just two sentences.
