2618 Decision
“Jingxing, Jingyuan, gather the elite disciples in the Mu Clan. Prepare to immediately withdraw from the imperial capital in secret,” Mu Jingfeng ordered gravely.
Mu Jingxing and Mu Jingyuan exchanged glances.
The fifth brother Mu Jingyang spoke up indignantly, “Do we really have to withdraw? We will not be able to completely withdraw all our forces from the imperial capital in the span of two or three days.”
“Or else what? Do we really sit and wait for the emperor to confiscate our property and execute the whole clan?” Mu Jingfeng asked coldly.
The fifth brother Mu Jingyang had a bitter taste in his mouth. “Could it really be true?”
“Fifth Brother, you couldn’t be this naive right?” Mu Jingxing expected better and glared at him. “Could an imperial edict personally penned by the emperor be fake?”
“It is the fourth day today.” Elder Qing sighed and said, “Tomorrow is the last day.”
“Xingchen, bring along your mother, sister, as well as your cousins and the elders’ offspring, and leave first using the transfer talisman matrix.” The elders’ expressions visibly eased up when Mu Jingfeng gave this order.
They naturally had their own personal considerations. Compared to the entire Mu Clan, of course their own offspring were more important.
Since they had come to this point, there was no longer any leeway for maneuvering. Then they might as well let go of the Mu Clan forces in the capital city and make a swift withdrawal.
In any case, their talisman patrician family could settle down anywhere with their combined strength. At the most, they would not stay in the Divine Province anymore. If they headed for the Ultramarine Province or the Nether Province, who would dare not treat them with respect and welcome them with smiles?
It was just that when they had to make a complete withdrawal because of that girl’s one sentence, they felt extremely infuriated. Their clan had already taken root in the Divine Province for around a thousand years!
The family head’s daughter was truly a hoodoo!
She stirred up the skies upon coming back, preventing the Mu Clan from getting peace. She truly might as well have continued to stay missing, or… might as well have taken root in the Sikong Planet and never returned.
The elders were all sullen as they cursed the little stoic in their minds.
At this moment, Mu Liang suddenly pushed open the door. He walked in and said gravely, “Family Head, the Violetwood Guard dispatched by the emperor has surrounded our entire Mu Clan.”
Mu Jingfeng shut his eyes. The wrath in his mind had reached the boiling point.
“The transfer talisman matrix can only transfer 10 people in one go, and can only be used six times in succession. The distance transferred will not exceed 10 kilometers.” Mu Jingyuan spoke coldly, “We only have five sets of transfer talisman matrices right now. How many people does the family head think we can save?”
Mu Jingxing shouted angrily, “Third Brother, look at the situation now! Why are you still throwing a tantrum at the family head? We seven brothers stem from the same origin. The entire clan should be unified and stick together.”
Mu Jingyuan scoffed. “The family head refuses to lower his head for his measly pride. You say ‘stem from the same origin,’ but I see you all having your own selfish calculations. I don’t believe that the elders present do not want to send their offspring away first.”
The elders swept Mu Jingyuan an embarrassed look. They wanted to rebut.
*Bang!* Someone forcefully pushed open the door.
Three to four elite clan disciples sternly escorted an imposing elderly man with silver hair inside.
“Jingfeng, make arrangements. This old man will personally lead you all to welcome my granddaughter home.”
Mu Jingfeng was stunned. He hastily stood up and bowed with his brothers and the elders toward the elderly man. “Old Patriarch.”
Mu Cang raised his hand. “We’ll be doing it like that.”
