For Master Mu, the Five Thunder Talisman had always been his life-saving technique.
He absolutely would not use it unless it was a last resort.
Moreover, his ancestors had said...
If the Five Thunder Talisman were to be used...
It wouldn’t just annihilate one or two people or ghosts, but within a ten-mile radius, all living things would be devastated, with corpses strewn everywhere.
He had never used it before.
If he hadn’t been driven to a dead end this time, he wouldn’t have brought it out.
Jiangli actually caught the Five Thunder Talisman with her bare hands and remained completely unscathed!
Who on earth was this girl?!
Master Mu thought of something and his expression suddenly changed.
"Who exactly are you? Are you with Fu Shiyan?"
He remembered Wan Qing had said, among the people who came with Fu Shiyan, there was a young girl.
"Who do you think I am?" Jiangli’s young face was ice-cold.
Xia Xin was seeing this frosty-faced Jiangli for the first time.
She held the metal piece, her gaze cold as ice blades, "You’re questioning who I am while holding onto my possession; shouldn’t I be the one asking you that question?"
Fu’er, Xia Xin, and Liao Qianqian were all bewildered upon hearing this.
Xia Xin was startled. What did his ancestor mean by that?
Just as confused was Master Mu, his eyes full of bewilderment and fear, "I don’t understand what you mean! You must be the little girl who came with Fu Shiyan, right?"
He thought it was too much of a coincidence!
Fu Shiyan had just arrived, and then trouble befell the Fu Yi family!
Indeed, all of this could not be separated from Fu Shiyan’s involvement!
"I’m asking you where this metal talisman came from." Jiangli’s impatience creased her brow as she suddenly dashed in front of Master Mu.
She grabbed hold of Master Mu’s neck with one fierce motion, her little face showing a few more traces of ferocity compared to usual, almost seeming frenzy.
"Ancestor..." Xia Xin was stunned, as the ancestor before him felt very unfamiliar.
Jiangli seemed as if she hadn’t heard Xia Xin’s voice, staring straight at Master Mu, her gaze as if intending to flay him alive.
She tightly clutched Master Mu’s neck, her slender and fair fingertips gripping tighter, "Tell me, who gave you this metal talisman, and how did you obtain it!"
Master Mu had not anticipated Jiangli’s sudden move, nor did he expect her to be so strong. He desperately slapped and pulled at Jiangli’s hands, trying to make her let go.
But to Jiangli, his strength was like a tickle, hardly worth mentioning.
Master Mu tried to mobilize the little spiritual energy he had.
Jiangli, perceiving his intentions, her face darkened, and immediately Master Mu felt as though he was locked in by her, unable to move his body at all.
He rapidly looked at Jiangli in horror, his face turning the color of liver, filled with dread.
It was at this moment that he realized, he was not Jiangli’s match in any way!
Who exactly was this young girl?
Standing before Jiangli, he felt what it meant to be worlds apart.
He had thought his cultivation base was decent, enough to deal with an average person from Xuanmen, but in front of Jiangli, he was no more than an ant.
"Don’t make me repeat myself a third time!" Jiangli, seeing he still did not answer, grew impatient, her gaze turning colder as her hand tightened, almost twisting Master Mu’s neck.
The fear of impending death prevented Master Mu from thinking. Instinctively, he opened his mouth, "I, I will tell..."
He struggled to breathe out a few sounds.
Jiangli’s grip loosened slightly, yet her eyes remained icy, "Speak!"
Master Mu’s lungs felt ready to burst as he spoke with great difficulty, "It was, it was left to me by my ancestors..."
Jiangli narrowed her eyes, "What’s the identity of your ancestor?"
"My, my grandmaster’s name is Qu Lingfeng, and my master is Ye Hai..." Master Mu did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.
