Chapter 5269: 5.1021 Predetermined

Mu Jingfeng was completely unconscious, intermittently emitting harsh roars as he slapped with his black hands.

Qiao Mu's ice needles shattered one by one in his withered black palms, transforming into transparent water traces and disappearing on Mu Jingfeng's skin.

The little poker face subtly pursed her lips, then suddenly waved her hand, unleashing a burst of blue spirit pure flame.

The blue flame was forcefully waved away by Mu Jingfeng with a "bang."

However, at the same time, the cluster of flames on his palm abnormally began to glow with a dazzling blue light.

Mu Jingfeng thrashed his body wildly, roaring and slapping at the walls.

Fortunately, this dungeon had been reinforced countless times, and even with his chaotic thrashing, it remained completely unmoved.

Qiao Mu's eyes flashed. She pointed at Mu Jingfeng. "Burn, burn him."

The four elders' lips moved. They looked at Qiao Mu with a desire to speak, but held back.

Qiao Mu, however, did not look at their expressions at all.

Mu Jingyuan, standing beside her, spoke in a flat voice, "He is no longer our former family head, Mu Jingfeng."

"He has now been transformed into a powerful monster by Heavenly Fate. The Family Head treating him this way is his own doing."

The elders couldn't help but sigh slightly. As if remembering something, they remained silent.

As the few people talked, Feng Chen threw out dozens of wood spirits with one hand, instantly forming a net that completely enveloped Mu Jingfeng from head to toe.

Mo Lian flicked his fingers, sending out seven or eight clusters of black flames that landed on Mu Jingfeng's pitch-black body.

Everyone immediately heard him let out inhuman wails.

Qiao Mu, with her poker face, stared expressionlessly at the monster enveloped in black flames, her heart unmoved.

It was as if what was burning now was merely a charred piece of charcoal.

Having reached this point, he couldn't blame anyone but himself.

Why did he so easily trust Heavenly Fate? Why did he join Heavenly Fate? And why did he take the so-called medicine from Heavenly Fate that was supposed to cause bodily mutations?

Such mutation pills might allow one to ascend in one step, but more likely... they would lead to endless suffering and eternal damnation.

With so many people in the world, why did he have to try such a perverse elixir?

One must be responsible for the path they choose and bear the consequences and responsibilities for all their actions.

This was the path Mu Jingfeng chose for himself.

Qiao Mu looked at Mu Jingfeng, who was burning intensely in the black flames, then withdrew her calm gaze and met Mo Lian's eyes.

"I wonder if we can ultimately restore a sliver of his consciousness, but it's probably very difficult."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu couldn't help but want to scoff. "What if he regains his consciousness? People like him will never change until they die."

Let it be. Let the black flames consume all the filth and withered things in the world, including Mu Jingfeng's heart, which had long since turned rotten and moldy. Let it all be incinerated.

"Qiao Qiao," Mo Lian, knowing her mood was low, raised his hand and stroked her head.

"Many things, we cannot change. We can only let nature take its course."

"Mm, I know," Qiao Mu nodded.

Take her relationship with Mu Jingfeng, for example.

It gradually deteriorated naturally, became naturally unrecoverable, and then naturally, she watched the person before her wither and fall away piece by piece.

These were all predetermined matters; no one could change them.

Qiao Mu sighed softly, murmuring, "Predetermined."

The four elders slightly frowned, wanting to offer a few words of consolation.
