The little monk hastily said, "This humble monk is merely talkative, not verbose. Little female benefactor, you mustn't misrepresent me."
Duan Yue couldn't help but laugh, walking forward to scoop up the little monk. "Alright, let's go."
After lingering here for so long, shouldn't they return to clearing the level? Perhaps it was due to his blind confidence in Madam Qiao Qiao, but he always felt that a huge surprise awaited Madam Qiao Qiao at the end of this journey...
"Stop!" Suddenly, a stern reprimand came from behind them.
Qiao Mu and the others paid no heed; they naturally wouldn't stop so obediently. However, very soon, they felt a sword energy whistle past, aimed at the back of one of them. Its speed wasn't slow, but for them, it was still far too sluggish.
Immortal Lord Peach Blossom chuckled, turned, and flicked a finger. With a crisp clang, the spiritual sword in the assailant's hand was instantly broken into three pieces, clattering to the ground.
The person watched them with an extremely grim face, their eyes dark and filled with disbelief.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, let's go together! Everyone gets a reward after completing the mission," someone shouted, and suddenly everyone started moving.
They weren't just targeting the little stoic and Crown Prince Mo's group. Queen Fusha of the Dafeng Tribe, the two Jing sisters from the Pangu Tribe, and even Madam Guoan—they wanted to eliminate every single one of them.
To be precise, these people who had forcibly entered the array later were indeed here with the objective of killing them. From their tone, it seemed they had even accepted a mercenary mission?
Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes. It seemed like a good business venture. She wondered what their lives were worth.
This group, as if energized, wielded their respective weapons and charged directly towards them. Just as they were about to close in, Qiao Mu quietly commanded, "Little monkey, why aren't you bouncing these idiots out?"
The little monkey's face turned beet red. After much effort, she finally said in a frustrated whisper, "Do you think I don't want to? I tried. These people used some secret method to forcibly enter your teleportation array, sneaking in. Not only that, but they're also carrying jade talismans specifically designed to counter me."
"This jade talisman was secretly developed by the master of the Divine Hall to counteract me," the little monkey said, drooping her small head dejectedly. "There's a faint aura of my sister in this jade talisman. I... I can't bring myself to act."
Qiao Mu nodded understandingly. "Alright. Then let's fight!"
They have so many people. Do they think she has no one here or what?
In a fit of anger, the little one once again released Situ Yi and the others from her storage talisman.
"Senior Brother Situ, were these the people who were chasing you earlier?"
"It's them!" Situ Yi and the others nodded repeatedly. "And there are more than just these twenty or so people here."
Qiao Mu nodded. "Let's go. Grab a few alive and ask them what's going on."
With that, the group didn't stand on ceremony. They charged forward, unleashed their spiritual energy, summoned their weapons from their spiritual abyss, and plunged into a chaotic battle.
"These people are likely mercenaries who took on a mission. There's no need to be polite with them," Qiao Mu said coldly.
At this moment, those mercenaries were quite surprised. They had originally thought that Situ Yi and the others had already been bounced out of the main hall, which was why they dared to presumptuously approach, intending to deal with Qiao Mu and her group first.
Do you want to know what happens next in the fight, or perhaps what kind of mission these mercenaries are on?
