Chapter 923: That's It?
"I... I've seen them."
Under Mu Hongzhen's questioning, Mu He didn't dare to lie at all, his expression slightly panicked.
At the same time, he cursed Mu Xixian and the others in his heart.
If it weren't for the conflict between Mu Xixian and Qin Chen's group, none of this would have happened.
At this moment, he blamed everything on Mu Xixian and the others!
"Where are they?"
Seeing Mu He's panicked expression, Mu Hongzhen's heart sank, feeling an ominous premonition.
If it weren't the case, Mu He definitely wouldn't be so flustered!
"In the dungeon." Mu He gritted his teeth and answered honestly.
"What!!!"
Mu Hongzhen's pupils immediately widened.
The other Mu Clan members also shrank their pupils.
Mu He had just returned from outside and had no idea about Mu Hongzhen's request for help from the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.
But most of the others were aware.
After traveling such a long distance to invite them over, they actually locked them up in the dungeon?
What kind of situation is this?
"Clan Leader, I truly didn't know our Mu Clan had actually invited help from the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association."
Seeing Mu Hongzhen's expression, Mu He also felt a pang of guilt.
"What exactly happened?!" Mu Hongzhen's face darkened slightly.
With such hospitality, who would help the Mu Clan in the future?
Mu He had no choice but to explain the sequence of events.
After hearing it, an unprecedented anger appeared on Mu Hongzhen's face.
"This is my fault, Mu Hongzhen."
"Raising such a group of clansmen!"
"How are such clansmen different from the bandits everyone despises outside?!"
Furious, Mu Hongzhen was shaking all over.
He didn't even know how to explain this to Zhao Xiongmo.
"Bring Mu Xixian and Mu Bai here!" Mu Hongzhen said to Mu He.
"Yes!" Mu He quickly nodded and then turned to leave.
As a guard of the Mu Clan, neither Mu Xixian nor Mu Bai was eligible to participate in such a significant event as the opening of the ancestral land.
Since Mu Xixian's legs were crippled, he was recuperating.
Mu Bai was also taking care of Mu Xixian.
Bang——
With a loud bang, the door to Mu Xixian's room was suddenly kicked open, shattering into flying splinters.
The broken door panel directly hit Mu Bai.
"Who?!"
This sudden scene left Mu Xixian and Mu Bai dumbfounded.
At this moment, Mu He walked into the room.
"Elder Mu He?!"
Seeing that it was Mu He, the two were even more astonished.
Especially seeing Mu He's expression, one of gritting teeth as if he wanted to kill, Mu Xixian and Mu Bai were filled with questions.
"You two, come with me."
Mu Hongzhen was still waiting, so Mu He didn't have time to explain anything to Mu Xixian and Mu Bai.
"Elder Mu He, did something happen?"
Mu Xixian couldn't help but ask.
"I'll say it one more time, come with me!! Stop wasting time here!!!"
Mu He was utterly furious, and his anger only grew the more he thought about it.
He didn't even know how Mu Hongzhen would punish him later.
Seeing Mu He angry, Mu Xixian and Mu Bai dared not speak further.
Following Mu He, the two arrived at the Ancestor Mountain.
"Ancestor Mountain?!"
Seeing that Mu He had brought them to the Ancestor Mountain, Mu Xixian and Mu Bai suddenly had a bad premonition.
Soon after, under Mu He's guidance,
the three appeared before Mu Hongzhen.
"Greetings, Clan Leader!!!"
Upon seeing Mu Hongzhen, Mu Xixian and Mu Bai were immediately panicked and quickly knelt to the ground.
With a cold gaze, Mu Hongzhen looked at Mu Xixian and Mu Bai and asked, "You two are Mu Xixian and Mu Bai?"
Mu Xixian and Mu Bai shivered instantly.
What kind of person was Mu Hongzhen?
He actually knew their names?
This was clearly abnormal!
"Yes." Mu Xixian and Mu Bai nodded.
"Yesterday, it was you who made things difficult for those three telekinesis masters from the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association, not letting them in, and when they wanted to leave, you didn't let them?!"
Mu Hongzhen looked at Mu Xixian and Mu Bai, his face like a sheet of dark clouds.
Hearing this, Mu Xixian and Mu Bai trembled all over, their minds feeling like being struck by lightning.
They suddenly remembered what Qin Chen had said to them yesterday.
"Such a big matter, you two can't handle the responsibility!"
Especially with Mu Hongzhen's personal questioning and Mu He's unusual fury.
How could they not understand what was going on?
"We beg for the Clan Leader's forgiveness!!!"
Mu Xixian and Mu Bai immediately prostrated themselves completely at Mu Hongzhen's feet, their faces full of fear.
"Forgiveness?" Mu Hongzhen's eyes were icy.
"The three of you, go to the dungeon and kneel to invite the three telekinesis masters out!!!"
"If they don't come out, don't bother coming back!!!"
Mu Hongzhen said coldly.
On Ancestor Mountain, hearing Mu Hongzhen's words, the Mu Clan Patriarch was stunned.
To kneel and invite them out!
Mu Xixian and Mu Bai were one thing.
But what about Mu He?
What kind of status did he hold?
An elder of the Mu Clan after all!
How could someone of such standing do something so humiliating?
Mu He's face turned so dark it seemed like water might drip from it.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Do I need to repeat myself?!"
Seeing that after he finished speaking, Mu He and the other two still hadn't moved, Mu Hongzhen spoke again.
Once Mu Hongzhen spoke again, Mu He and the other two no longer hesitated.
More accurately, they didn't dare to hesitate.
Straight towards the dungeon they went.
The entire Ancestor Mountain was silent, not a single sound.
No one in the Mu Clan expected such a change during today's opening of the ancestral land.
In the dungeon.
Qin Chen and the other two were imprisoned together.
This dungeon was built using a material known as Bodhi Treasure Steel, making it extremely sturdy.
Furthermore, the communication token signals were blocked here.
Qin Chen and the other two were unable to send messages to Zhao Xiongmo.
"Today, it seems to be the day the Mu Clan's ancestral land opens?"
In the dungeon, Gu Xiaofeng spoke.
"It is." Xia Meng'er nodded.
"Out of nowhere, they just threw us into this dungeon; they might as well leave us here forever!"
Gu Xiaofeng's face was full of indifference.
At this moment.
Mu He and the other two suddenly appeared.
Seeing Mu He and the others, Qin Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
In his eyes, a chilling light flickered.
Little Strange was even more furious, as if about to devour the trio.
When Mu He and the other two reached them, they first had someone open the door of the dungeon.
Then, with a forced smile, Mu He said, "The three of you, what happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. Please, don't take it to heart."
Qin Chen and the others looked at Mu He coldly, not saying a word.
Even though the dungeon door was open, the three showed no intention of leaving.
Mu He's expression slightly darkened, then forced another smile, saying, "Please give us some face. Our Clan Leader is still waiting for you."
"Yesterday was truly a misunderstanding."
Mu He tried to make his words sound more sincere.
"Is that all?" Qin Chen looked at Mu He, speaking with cold indifference.
