Chapter 5267: 5.1019 Against Common Sense

Although he looked like he was about to die, he seemed to be barely hanging on, not looking like he would drop dead immediately.

This was abnormal, unless there was some kind of mutation in his body.

Feng Chen also nodded. "Be careful, this person looks a bit off."

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Jingyuan frowned and asked.

"Third Uncle, has he been in this condition ever since you detained him here?"

"Yes," Mu Jingyuan nodded. "He's been half-dead, half-slumped like this. His body is strangely swollen, and the disciples are hesitant to approach, fearing he might suddenly self-destruct."

"This underground dungeon has been reinforced with several layers of defense, so even if he self-destructs, it won't affect us on the surface."

"However... his current situation is quite strange. From last night until now, he's swollen like a ball, but he still hasn't exploded."

"Qiao Qiao, look," he pointed to the four elderly elders sitting calmly by the iron cage.

"These are four of our Mu family elders. Because we're worried he might suddenly self-destruct and cause chaos, Father specifically arranged for these four elders to be stationed here."

Qiao Mu had already seen the four elders sitting with their eyes closed when she entered.

They seemed completely immersed in their own cultivation worlds, so they didn't go forward to disturb them.

Qiao Mu nodded. "This situation is indeed a bit strange."

If this person remained in this half-dead state, it would indeed be quite troublesome.

"So now you plan to continue detaining him?"

Looking at Mu Jingfeng's unconscious state, it was estimated that nothing could be gained from questioning him.

Even keeping him in this Mu family dungeon would probably be of no help.

Mu Jingyuan sighed. "Father's intention is to leave him like this for now."

Qiao Mu nodded slightly.

She understood the Old Master's meaning. No matter what, he was still his own son, and he probably couldn't bring himself to kill him.

"Qin Cao said before he escaped that he is the Saint of Zhaoguang." Qiao Mu silently looked at Mu Jingfeng through the iron cage.

But looking at Mu Jingfeng's current appearance, he definitely wouldn't tell her the whereabouts of the small tree fragment.

And even if he were conscious at this moment, Qiao Mu couldn't guarantee that he would truly reveal the truth to her.

"Forget it, let's just..." The little poker face, with a cold expression, was about to say that she should still have her Lian send people to investigate that ruined temple again.

Suddenly, a non-human roar erupted from within the iron cage.

Everyone was startled, looking collectively at Mu Jingfeng inside the cage.

At the same time, the four Mu family elders who had been sitting quietly at the four corners of the cage also opened their eyes simultaneously.

Their movements were extremely swift. They pushed with both hands at the same time, unleashing several defensive talismans.

After several streaks of light flashed, talisman seals unfurled in the air, forming a crisscrossing net of talismans that surrounded the struggling, roaring Mu Jingfeng from all directions.

Mu Jingfeng was currently roaring with his head thrown back.

Along with the five iron chains, shaking back and forth on his body.

Qiao Mu frowned, looking at the person before her. She pointed a finger, virtually drawing a suppression talisman, and directly slapped it onto Mu Jingfeng's head.

The purple-glowing talisman quickly imprinted itself on Mu Jingfeng's skull.

The four elders' eyes widened simultaneously, and they all looked towards the little Crown Princess.

They had heard rumors before that this young Family Head was a rare master of void talisman crafting.

It was truly better to see it than to just hear about it!
