Mu Lichen brought his entire family into the Mu family ancestral hall.
Soon, Chen Youxin and his wife's animal cart also entered the Mu family ancestral hall.
Mu Lingjiu did not act rashly, but stood at the window of the inn and observed the surrounding situation.
Soon, some monks dressed like ordinary people entered the Mu family ancestral hall. They showed the token to the gatekeeper and were allowed to enter the ancestral hall.
Mu Lingjiu was sure that Mu Tianxue had arrived.
She flew out on her sword and arrived at the entrance of the Mu family ancestral hall almost instantly.
She used her spiritual sense to observe the objects in their hands and confirmed that they were the Imperial Guards' tokens.
Those who pretended to be ordinary people and entered the ancestral hall were Mu Tianxue's imperial guards.
Mu Lingjiu picked up a piece of stone and turned it into a token of the imperial guards, then entered the ancestral hall.
The security inside the ancestral hall is tighter today than yesterday. As soon as you enter the hall, the guards dressed in ordinary people's clothes all stand in a row and guard the outside of the hall.
Mu Lingjiu walked to the back corner and hid in the bushes while no one was paying attention.
The two commanders of the Royal Guards arrived soon.
"Roll call!"
They called the roll to prevent impersonation.
Mu Lingjiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had anticipated this and hid in the bushes.
The roll call was soon over, and they were arranged around the ancestral hall, leaving no blind spots around the perimeter.
After the two commanders of the imperial guards organized their troops, they stood guard at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Then a woman in a snow-white robe walked out of Chen Youxin and Liu Yunyun's animal carriage. A purple elf stood on her shoulder. She raised her eyes slightly and looked forward, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled gently.
The guards around her all looked fascinated and awed when they saw her.
Mu Tianxue walked towards the ancestral hall.
A voice came from the ancestral hall.
"Tianxue, you're finally here." The voice belonged to the fifth brother Mu Tianba.
Mu Tianba's cultivation level is at the ninth level of the Spiritual Venerable, and he is only one step away from being a Spiritual Saint. He has the highest cultivation level among his brothers.
Mu Tianxue smiled gently when she saw him. "Well, it's been a long time since I last saw Fifth Brother. You must have worked hard recently."
"How can it be hard?" Mu Tianba looked nonchalant, but there was a long scar on his superior face that could not be repaired. It seemed that he was injured by a special magic weapon.
Mu Tianxue didn't react much and continued to chat with other people.
"Third brother, second brother, father, you are here too~" Mu Tianxue looked at them softly.
"How can I be absent at such a critical moment for you?" Mu Litian said, "We must protect Tianxue Chengdi."
Mu Tianxue lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little sad.
"The time is almost up, but there are not enough water-attributed cultivators."
Chen Youxin beside him immediately said, "We have already found many water-attributed cultivators. Tianxue doesn't need to worry."
Mu Lingtian was quite puzzled. "Why aren't there enough water-attributed cultivators? I remember I only captured over a thousand of them, but not the others? What on earth are you doing? Why aren't you capturing any?"
Mu Lingyun's expression changed. "Fifth brother is in the middle of a battle, so there's no way to catch him. And I've caught as many as you."
Mu Lingtian looked puzzled, "How can it not be enough?"
Mu Tianxue looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mu Lingtian was anxious and asked quickly, "What happened to Tianxue? Tell my second brother quickly."
Mu Tianxue sighed softly, "Fourth brother betrayed me."
"What?" Mu Lingtian's face was gloomy. "Why would the fourth brother betray me? Has he really been bewitched and forgotten our original friendship?"
Mu Tianxue nodded slightly. "Fourth brother and others secretly entered the dungeon and released those people. Fortunately, Sect Master Chen helped find some people with water attributes. However, most of the cultivators that Sect Master Chen found had mixed spiritual roots, and were not as good as those we captured before."
"Mu Lingxiong deserves to die!" Mu Lingtian gritted his teeth, "I'm going to catch him!"
Mu Tianxue gritted her teeth and looked at Mu Lingtian aggrievedly, but did not stop Mu Lingtian's actions.
Mu Lingtian walked out of the house in a rage.
Mu Litian also said: "Xue'er has suffered, and Mu Lingxiong can't get away with it no matter what. Xue'er, don't be soft-hearted."
Chen Youxin and Shen Yunyun looked at each other, and came to Mu Tianxue from the left and right.
"Tianxue, you are soft-hearted by nature, but you absolutely cannot forgive the person who hurt you this time, otherwise others will follow suit. How will you be able to bear it then?"
Mu Tianxue lowered her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Mu Litian was heartbroken.
"Xue'er, don't be sad. Once we catch that idiot Mu Lingxiong, I'll skin him alive with my own hands!"
Mu Tianba also said, "Don't worry, Xue'er. I will help you deal with it. You don't need to worry about these things. You should prepare for your transformation now and don't let these insignificant things disturb your mind."
"Okay." Mu Tianxue hugged Mu Tianba and then hugged Mu Litian.
Mu Lingyun touched Mu Tianxue's head and said softly, "I will handle this matter without anyone else's help. Xue'er, you can't be soft-hearted this time."
Mu Tianxue hummed, seeming to be lost in thought. "There's still no clue about the Bazhua incident. I'm always worried. I wonder if Big Brother has figured out the reason."
"I can't count on him!" Mu Lingyun said in a serious tone, "I have already sent people to investigate the Xuanxian Sect, and there will be results soon."
Mu Tianxue finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the depths of the Mu family ancestral hall with everyone else.
There is a mechanism deep in the ancestral hall, which, when opened, reveals an underground palace.
Mu Lingjiu could only secretly use his spiritual sense to inquire, not daring to be too ostentatious, so he could not obtain more.
She looked up and saw Mu Lingtian coming out of the house.
Mu Lingtian ordered his subordinates, "Come on, follow me to find Mu Lingxiong."
Having said that, Mu Lingtian turned and looked at Hong Chen.
"Aren't you the Black Sniffer? You should be able to find Mu Lingxiong quickly."
Hong Chen didn't dare to say that his nose was no longer working. After being poisoned by Mu Lingjiu, his sense of smell has not yet fully recovered.
"Second Master, I'm here to protect the Empress. Is your matter more important, or the Empress's safety?"
"You..." Mu Lingtian pointed at Hongchen, "There are so many people here at Tianxue, we don't need you. I need your help now."
"I'm sorry, Lord Lingtian. I'm only ordered to protect the empress. I won't listen to anyone else." Hong Chen looked at Mu Lingtian with disgust.
Mu Lingtian's cultivation level was achieved by accumulating medicinal herbs. His combat capability was rubbish, so he forced himself to be an alchemist. His alchemy skills were also rubbish.
This kind of garbage among garbage is not even worth the mortal world's attention.
Mu Lingtian felt very embarrassed after being rejected by Hong Chen.
When Mu Lingjiu was the empress, he could make the people around her leave if he wanted to, as long as it did not affect the major affairs of the empire, he could make the decision.
But now he is being watched like this by a watchdog.
"Very good, I'll tell Tianxue later and let Tianxue teach you a lesson!"
Hong Chen chuckled and didn't take it seriously at all.
"I am acting on the orders of the Empress. If you truly feel wronged, then tell the Empress."
