Godly Empress Doctor Chapter 4247: The Finale (2)
Previously on Godly Empress Doctor...
Lord Yan insisted firmly, “It is a physical impossibility. Master Mu perished a long time ago. There is no way he could have taken a new disciple! It simply cannot be!”
A mocking smirk played on Patriarch Helian’s lips. “Between you and us, who possesses the true knowledge of what transpired at Sacred Mu Cliff?”
The question left Lord Yan utterly speechless.
Stepping forward, the Princess Royal asked, “Are you implying... that Master Mu is actually alive?!”
Patriarch Helian offered nothing but a mysterious smile in response.
The Princess Royal spun around abruptly, locking eyes with Lord Yan. Terror was etched across both of their faces.
The history between Master Mu and the imperial family was fraught with hostility. If he had truly survived...
However, Lord Yan shook his head with absolute certainty. “No, he is dead!”
He had witnessed the end with his own two eyes!
Claiming the man was merely missing had been nothing more than a convenient cover story. Master Mu was deceased—completely and utterly gone!
Reflecting on this, Lord Yan signaled his reassurance to the Princess Royal with a firm shake of his head.
Only then did the Princess Royal finally allow herself a sigh of relief.
Helian merely sneered as he watched their silent exchange.
Lord Yan fixed a narrow-eyed glare on Patriarch Helian. “So, the two of you have decided to act on your own authority?”
Without the presence of Master Mu, Sacred Mu Cliff remained a formidable power, yet it was no longer an invincible force.
“My plan was to dismantle Sacred Mu Cliff after the Luo family was dealt with, but you’ve blundered right into my path. Since you are here, I shall finish you all off today,” Lord Yan said with a cold smile.
As he spoke, he threw pointed, warning looks toward the Princess Royal, Patriarch Murong, and the Abbot.
The Luo family had already been neutralized by the powder, as had the neutral factions like the Mountain Sea Academy. They were essentially helpless. Now, with only two representatives from Sacred Mu Cliff present, did they truly believe they could change the outcome?
“The four of us shall strike together.”
To ensure total victory, Lord Yan opted for a four-on-two confrontation.
The four experts nodded, moving to occupy the corners of the area to prevent any chance of escape.
To their astonishment, Patriarch Helian made no attempt to flee. Instead, he looked at Lord Yan with an expression of pitying confusion, causing Lord Yan’s heart to race. A sense of impending doom washed over him.
His intuition was correct.
In the very next heartbeat, a mocking voice rang out through the air.
“Who gave you the audacity to bully the disciples of Sacred Mu Cliff?!”
The voice was hauntingly familiar.
Feng Wu instinctively raised her gaze and saw figures approaching.
One was her Third Senior Brother, whom she recognized immediately, but the other was a face she had never seen before.
However, seeing him arrive alongside her Third Senior Brother allowed Feng Wu to easily deduce his identity.
Just as she suspected, Patriarch Helian leaned toward her and said, “Do you see that scholar in the blue robes? That is your Fourth Senior Brother.”
He was attired in the garb of a Confucian scholar, clutching a book in his hand, radiating an aura of elegance and leisure.
By contrast, her Third Senior Brother was a dedicated swordsman, appearing as frigid as a block of ice.
Feng Wu quickly offered her respects. “Greetings, Senior Brothers.”
The Third Senior Brother gave a small nod, his eyes softening as he looked at Feng Wu.
Her Fourth Senior Brother beamed at her. “So, you are the final pupil our Master accepted. Come closer and let me get a good look at you.”
Since the elite disciples of Sacred Mu Cliff had acknowledged Feng Wu as their Junior Sister, the truth was undeniable...
Feng Wu truly was their fellow disciple, and Helian had been telling the truth! The Princess Royal’s face darkened with resentment. She could hardly believe that Feng Wu possessed such incredible luck! Meanwhile, Feng Wu finished paying her respects to her senior brothers.
