Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1447: Hardly Able to Believe Their Own Ears
Previously on Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return...
Within mere moments, the Exotic Beasts poured into the pass, and the Netherworld Beast commenced its brutal onslaught. It seemed to understand that the plan to conquer Beining Pass had utterly failed, and only through widespread slaughter could its fury be assuaged.
Screams of agony and sounds of desperate flight permeated Qingyang Pass, as lives were extinguished with merciless efficiency, much like a farmer harvesting ripe wheat.
Sons of noble families wailed in despair, succumbing to the sharp claws of the Exotic Beasts. Their eyes, once bright, dulled with regret, wishing they had descended the pass swiftly like Fang Zhe and the others. What they had perceived as suicidal bravery then, they now recognized as their sole chance for survival – a harsh lesson in their own foolishness.
Within the canyon, all eyes watched the crimson plumes of blood ascend from Qingyang Pass, and the heart-wrenching cries of the dying echoed, stirring a profound sorrow within them.
Although Qingyang Pass had remained aloof previously, incurring the deep resentment of those present, witnessing their kinsmen perish beneath the onslaught of the Exotic Beasts was a sight too tragic to bear.
However, without Mu Hanyan's command, no one dared to make a move. Indeed, with the Netherworld Beast present, charging forward without Mu Hanyan's willingness to intervene would have been tantamount to suicide.
"Young Master Mu, I implore you, save Qingyang Pass!" The guard commander of Qingyang Pass knelt desperately before Mu Hanyan.
"Why the haste? Since they offered no aid when we faced imminent death and contented themselves with watching us as entertainment, let them savor the spectacle a while longer," Jiang Yuzhe stated coldly.
The Fifth Prince cast a glance at Mu Hanyan, ultimately remaining silent.
The situation had been dire; had the Chambers of Commerce not arrived to provide timely assistance, Beining Pass would have been submerged in bloodshed long ago. To help defend Beining Pass, Mu Hanyan had narrowly escaped death at the Netherworld Beast's grasp, and Qingyang Pass had merely observed from a distance. Now, what right did they possess to demand her intervention?
"Let's move!" Mu Hanyan's gaze intensified slightly as she spoke.
"What?" Everyone was taken aback, their gazes fixed on Mu Hanyan with disbelief, almost unable to comprehend her words.
Despite the empathy swelling in their hearts for the people of Qingyang Pass, a deep-seated understanding existed that, were the roles reversed, extending a helping hand would not be a simple matter.
"Regardless, the soldiers and civilians of Qingyang Pass, along with those sons of ordinary noble families, are innocent," Mu Hanyan declared with calm resolve.
He harbored no warmth towards Dan Tai Xuan and Mo Yanhong; their demise before him would have elicited no flicker of emotion. Yet, he refused to project his animosity onto others due to their actions, recognizing they were merely following orders.
Mu Hanyan consistently maintained a clear distinction between personal grievances and honorable conduct, never refusing a genuine plea for aid.
"Attack!" Mu Hanyan pointed her Longsword towards Qingyang Pass and soared ahead.
Though Huayue and the others felt a pang of indignation, they refrained from impulsive actions, continuing to guard her closely. Following behind Mu Hanyan was another figure – Ye Yanran, who had recently attained mastery of her Innate Divine Ability, the 'Heavenly Rain Divine Healing' skill.
"Regardless, the soldiers and civilians of Qingyang Pass, along with those sons of ordinary noble families, are innocent," Mu Hanyan's words resonated within their ears, igniting a surge of admiration and fervent passion in everyone's hearts.
Mu Hanyan. The name was once again seared into the memory of all present, destined to remain indelible.
Amidst triumphant battle cries, a formidable force surged towards Qingyang Pass.
