2506 Who Dares Make a Move?
Qiao Mu raised her petite hand up high, and the gigantic white snake wriggled as it shrunk like a wisp of smoke. It coiled around her wrist again and went into hibernation.
The netherworld spiritual domain had already released its restriction, but the entire Changle Boulevard still permeated with a deathly silence. It was as if an ancient ferocious beast was emitting a suffocating pressure that weighed down on everyone's hearts.
No one dared to move a step, and no one dared to whisper a word.
Silence pervaded the entire Changle Boulevard.
"Who dares to cause trouble on Changle Boulevard?" A angry shout shattered the silence, instantly rescuing everyone from the demonic curse of deathly silence.
The crowd finally released indistinct gasps, and the women whimpered in pain.
As Changle Boulevard was located extremely close to the imperial palace, it had always been a focal point of the imperial guard's patrol.
The leader was a young man with slanted eyes and a hawk nose. He hurried over from the other end of the boulevard with a company of soldiers.
When he saw the annihilated group from the shrine, a cold light surfaced in his eyes. He roared at the surrounding people who were doing their utmost to hold their breaths. "Who did this?"
The people in the front row were scared to death. Who dared to speak?
They all backed away simultaneously and huddled together pitifully. They tucked in their necks and once again became the target of this sir soldier's venting.
*Swish!* A streak of blue flame landed at the feet of the hawk-nosed young man.
That young man reflexively stepped away in fright. He swept a cold gaze over and settled on Qiao Mu.
"You're blind? What are you barking at other people for?"
The hawk-nosed young man squinted his eyes sinisterly. He sized up Qiao Mu and interrogated, "You did this? You attacked the people from the shrine?"
How could this be?
This little lady's cultivation looked to be merely that of a minor spiritual cultivator's. How could she have thrashed all these shrine guards by herself?
If Qiao Mu knew what this guy was thinking, she would definitely scoff and tell him: Ever heard of an aura-repressing talisman?
Qiaoqiao just loves to stay low-key whenever she was out and about.
Couldn't you all be tactful and not just come running at her?
You just had to gather 'round. Doesn't that deserve getting face slapped by Qiaoqiao?
"The people from the shrine are honored guests of our Divine Province. How dare you attack them?"
By this time, those bunch of priests from the shrine had finally recollected their wits.
When they saw the hawk-nosed young man surround Qiao Mu with his men, a young priest swallowed his saliva and berated while pointing at Qiao Mu, "She is a sinner! This woman beat up the shrine's Holy Daughter and also caused so many casualties to our holy believers. She must be sentenced to capital punishment!"
"Capital punishment, capital punishment! Capital punishment!" The people from the shrine started chanting with a vengeance.
The hawk-nosed young man gazed coldly at Qiao Mu and pointed forward. "Capture her!"
The large numbers of soldiers behind that man charged forward.
At this exact moment, an icy voice came from beyond the crowd. "We would like to see who dares to lay a hand on her."
Fang Su waved his hand, and he dashed over with several dozen Greenwood Guards. They immediately hurled their fists at the imperial guards' faces.
Many of them staggered backward in pain. They pressed their hands against their faces as they glowered at Fang Su's squad.
The hawk-nosed young man finally saw Fang Su standing in front of him and made out the latter's identity.
