Mu Qinghe remained silent for a moment, then let out a sigh.
"Alas! This is the only way, but when we act, we must be swift. That beast is specially bred by the Holy Pill Sect, and if they discover us, we'll be done for."
Mu Qingyuan turned to look at Mu Qinghe and asked, "Did you tell them what we're doing this time?"
Mu Qinghe shook his head. "No, I only told them it's an escort mission."
Mu Qingyuan nodded and walked over to Gu Sheng and the others. His gaze was sharp, scanning their faces like an eagle, while a powerful aura emanated from him, crashing over Gu Sheng and the others like waves.
The oppressive aura came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Mu Qingyuan paused for a moment before speaking. "Do you know who you're working for this time?" As he spoke, his hand repeatedly stroked the hilt of his blade, the same action mirrored by the hands of Mu Qingwen and Mu Qinghe behind him.
