Chapter 1326: A Hunch

The young man spewed large amounts of fresh blood as he shook his head and said, “I-I don’t know them! We did not come together.”

As expected, the two parties were not in league.

These three people from the Anyi Prefecture must have suspected that she had acquired the Xuanji Core after getting the news from the Fan Clan. Therefore, the purpose of their trip was to obtain her Xuanji Core, but they did not expect to lose two people here, with Guan Yiying being the only one to escape.

As for Old Monkey, Brother Tu, and their men whom the middle-aged woman had brought, it was very likely that they hailed from the Mu Clan of the Divine Province, their purpose being to eliminate her, this little prodigy.

Was this Old Seventh Mu’s doing?

A vicious glint flitted across Qiao Mu’s eyes. No matter who it was, she was absolutely not going to take this lying down!

They wanted her to submit and bear with it after trying to assassinate her? Dream on!

As for Fan Qiuhe, the two people must have some connection from how the middle-aged woman protected him.

Originally, Fan Qiuhe wanted to take advantage of the three people from the Anyi Prefecture to smack her dead at Jiaozhong Base.

After realizing that the three people from the Anyi Prefecture were useless, he then notified that middle-aged woman. As Qiao Mu was thinking, she tapped at her throbbing temples.

Why wasn’t she able to recall right now whether she had seen this middle-aged woman before somewhere?

Could it be that she had actually seen this middle-aged woman in her previous life before!

Was it in Fan Qiuhe’s isolated research lab?

“Qiaoqiao.” An agitated shout suddenly interrupted all her thoughts.

Qiao Mu blinked as she turned around. She saw Mo Lian dashing toward her, with Duan Yue, Eldest Qin, and a hundred other people behind him.

They had also brought along the wilted Old Monkey and his companions, whom they had detained.

Looks like Mo Lian and them had intervened to capture these minor spiritual cultivators.

Qiao Mu’s eyes flickered as she bolted toward Mo Lian and landed in his arms.

“Qiaoqiao, are you okay? What was that tremor just now? We could even hear it from very far away. Let me take a look. You, got hurt?”

“Do not worry. With me here, nothing can happen to Master.” A slender little treant bobbed its head at Mo Lian while lying on Qiao Mu’s shoulder.

Mo Lian only then saw the little treant, and he said while releasing a sigh of relief. “The sapling has come out.”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded. “If it weren’t for the sapling’s help, I would probably be in a big pickle.”

“I’m fine, it’s just that my body is too feeble.” Qiao Mu knitted her brows. It seems like she should try training her body after returning to the capital this time.

Mo Lian embraced her, which allowed her to grab his wrist and take his pulse instead. “Why is your breathing so erratic?”

“Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine.”

“Cause a certain person provoked Heavenly Law’s anger. It’s already quite good to have gotten away with it,” Duan Yue bantered as he walked over.

Qiao Mu eyed Mo Lian. “You used some incredible power?”

Mo Lian tossed Duan Yue a cold glance before reassuring Qiao Mu, “Everything is already fine now, don’t worry. Right now, I’m more worried about your injuries.”

Duan Yue quickly walked up and examined Qiao Mu. “Qiaoqiao, you got hurt? Did you cause that huge commotion just earlier?”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded. “I detonated the heart of the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm. I originally wanted to keep Fan Qiuhe and a middle-aged woman here forever, yet who knew that they would be able to escape.”

The two men could not help but look at each other in dismay.

Qiaoqiao was actually so lavish as to detonate a mystic domain. No wonder the entire City Lord’s Estate had turned to ashes with a poof in this huge earthquake.
