The guard spoke respectfully.
“Alright…” Nan Yue waved his hand. “People of Liu Yun Kingdom, listen here. Go tell Feng Tianwu that we have arrested someone from the Mu family. If he wants him alive, come out immediately.”
The formation only blocked their steps. It would not block the sound.
Therefore, Nan Yue’s voice echoed above the streets of the entire Liu Yun Kingdom.
After hearing the voice, the guards within Liu Yun Kingdom hurriedly went to the palace to report.
At this moment, Feng Tianwu was drinking tea with the two old masters. He froze after he heard the guard’s words, looking at Old Master Mu blankly.
“People from the Mu family? Is there still anyone from the Mu family left behind?”
Old Master Mu shook his head. “No, I’ve taken all of them with me. He said the people of the Mu family… Should it be…”
‘Mu Ling!’
Thinking of this name, Old Master Mu panicked. His face turned pale as he stood up, trembling.
In fact, when he received Feng Tianwu’s letter, he did try to find Mu Ling, but…
It seemed like Mu Ling was hiding from the Mu family.
He searched for some time but could not find him. For everyone’s safety, he could not wait anymore and immediately brought the other Mu family members to Liu Yun Kingdom.
Fortunately, he came in time. If it were a day later… Everyone would really be in danger.
However, his worst fears had happened after all…
Old Master Mu stumbled a bit and rushed out of the palace.
Mu Qingyin stood behind Old Master Mu with a somewhat complicated expression and a helpless look in his gaze.
The old general stood up and smiled bitterly. “Mu Ling is his son. Even a tiger will not eat its son. Old Master Mu is not that kind of ruthless person, so it is impossible to watch his son die and do nothing…”
Feng Tianwu laughed helplessly. “I’ve thought about these before. That’s why I asked him if he was going to find Mu Ling.”
The most ruthless thing that Old Master Mu could do was drive Mu Ling out from the family forever.
That was a punishment for him.
However, no father could bear watching his son die!
Therefore, what Old Master Mu did today was understandable.
“It’s too late now.” The old general pursed his lips. “If Old Master Mu disregarded the danger of Liu Yun Kingdom for the sake of Mu Ling, then I would definitely rather let Mu Ling die at the hands of those people… Call me ruthless or cruel. All I care about is Liu Yun Kingdom. Moreover, Mu Ling had mistreated my granddaughter. There is no way I can forgive him.”
The old general stroked his sleeve and walked toward the door.
If Old Master Mu had brought Mu Ling before all these happened, they could still accept him here.
After all, Mu Ling had received his punishment. He was Old Master Mu’s son. Of course, they would respect Old Master Mu’s decision.
However, it was too late now…
They would never give up the lives of so many people just to save Mu Ling.
“Let’s go. Let’s take a look, too.”
Feng Tianwu felt a bit uneasy and followed the old general.

The city gates were finally wide open.
However, even though the city gates were open, those people still could not enter because of the formation.
Old Master Mu could only look at Mu Ling from afar. His gaze was filled with grief.
At this moment, Mu Ling was in a bit of a mess as his body was covered in blood and wounds.
“I ordered the Mu family’s men to find you, but why did you avoid me?”
Old Master Mu closed his eyes in grief.
If Mu Ling had not been hiding from the Mu family, Old Master Mu would have dragged him to Liu Yun Kingdom.
