Chapter 5270: 5.1022 Rest in Peace

But they also felt that they seemed to... have no standing whatsoever.

After all, from the very beginning, Mu Jingfeng had been targeting this current young family head, never treating her as a daughter.

Therefore, there was no father-daughter affection to speak of at this point.

"Did Mu Jingfeng's mutation fail?" Feng Chen couldn't help but ask.

Mo Lian hesitated and nodded. "If the mutation succeeded, he should be like the Lute Corpse Puppet?"

"Heavenly Fate's medicine, I'm afraid, depends on destiny or fortune. If the mutation succeeds, one might gain one or even many special abilities." Regarding the understanding of Heavenly Fate, perhaps no one could surpass Qiao Mu.

"I think what Qiao Qiao said makes sense," Feng Chen pondered. "Heavenly Fate isn't foolish; they definitely want more people in their organization to become stronger. And Mu Jingfeng's situation..."

"It seems to have developed in the opposite direction. But this corpse puppet Mu Jingfeng, as Lian said, is even worse than the one we encountered before, the Lute Corpse Puppet, which had its own thoughts and special abilities."

"Everything depends on talent," Feng Chen said with some schadenfreude. "It's all fate. It means his talent might truly be mediocre. If Heavenly Fate found out, they would definitely curse him for wasting a precious elixir."

"The Qin family has a good plan," Qiao Mu said faintly. "That old man Qin thought that if Mu Jingfeng could successfully mutate, he might be able to control Mu Jingfeng and once again take over the Divine Continent Talismanic Family."

The four elders simultaneously widened their eyes. Heavenly Fate actually harbored such intentions? This is truly alarming. Previously, they had even felt sympathy for Mu Jingfeng, thinking it was somewhat desolate for him to be dealt with by his own daughter like that.

Now, upon reflection, they truly shouldn't have thought that way. Mu Jingfeng deserved exactly what he got.

As a member of the Mu family, instead of thinking about the welfare of the Mu family disciples, he spent his days plotting against his family and father. He truly deserved to die!

"Just like controlling Prince Fulin. Heavenly Fate originally planned to use Prince Fulin's identity as a starting point to then control the entire Divine Continent." Mo Lian thought of this and couldn't help but shake his head, speechless.

He didn't know whether to say Heavenly Fate was too naive.

They thought a small Prince Fulin, a废皇子 (廢皇子) (廢皇子 - deposed prince) who had been away from the center of imperial politics for so many years, could grasp the core of imperial power?

They underestimated the Divine Continent Emperor too much.

"Ugh." The five iron chains on Mu Jingfeng's body were now melted by the black flames.

But his currently mutated black body, bound by the large net formed by wood spirits, was also unable to move.

He lay crumpled on the ground, with seven or eight clusters of black flames still boiling and burning on his body, incinerating his body piece by piece into ash.

"Rebellious, rebellious daughter!" Mu Jingfeng struggled and roared.

Although the voice was muffled, Qiao Mu actually heard it clearly.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: He actually regained consciousness? Was he burned awake, or perhaps... was it a final burst of vitality?

"Rebellious, rebellious daughter!" Mu Jingfeng cursed weakly. "You, you killed your own father, you, in the next life, will not... not be reincarnated!"

"Bang!" A huge force flipped his body over, smashing heavily onto him.

Mu Jingfeng rolled twice, his back hitting the cage heavily, almost completely out of breath.

Qiao Mu was surprisingly not angry. She held back the enraged Mo Lian and smiled slightly. "Whether or not one is reincarnated, it's not for you to decide."

"Elder Brother," Mu Jingyuan took a deep breath and said faintly, "A person's death is like a lamp extinguishing. You can rest in peace now."
