770 Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots

Emperor Qianwu, unable to contain his anger, thought, 'The eldest prince made such a rash mistake that we have to bear such serious and immeasurable consequences.'

Damn it!

Damn it, I wonder who should die.

Emperor Qianwu, his heart burning with barely suppressed rage, his eyes blazing with fury, like cold stars in the depths of winter, flashing with a chilling and deadly sharpness.

An invisible aura of anger instantly spread, causing the originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere to suddenly sink, as if shrouded in an invisible pressure.

Under immense pressure, the beautiful woman who was dancing gracefully suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if she had been buried by a massive boulder. Her dance abruptly stopped, her breathing became rapid and difficult, and the smile on her face froze instantly, her expression becoming silent and still.

Emperor Wanwu waved his hand slightly, and a gentle force quietly spread out. In an instant, the pressure around him vanished like smoke blown away by the wind.

With a gentle smile, seemingly to comfort the beauty, he waved his hand again, signaling her to step back. Miss Bai was terrified, as there were two other beauties whose identities were also extraordinary in the past.

At this moment, the beauties felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly left, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

As for the White Snake, "White" is just a code name; it's not her surname.

Although the Martial Emperor was old, his aura was extraordinary. Being in the midst of it, he simply carefully felt the Martial Emperor's pressure. His expression did not change much, but he was still very cautious.

My lifespan is almost over, and I don't want to die here.

The White Snake sighed inwardly, 'I originally had several decades left to live, but now I feel that my time is almost up. I must cherish life and be more cautious.'

The dragon's energy can slow down aging. Emperor Wanwu once promised that he could share some of the dragon's energy with me.

But now that the dragon's aura has vanished, what should I do?

White Snake's expression remained unchanged, but unknowingly, the news that arrived tonight dealt her a heavy blow!

Originally, I had decades of life ahead of me, but now I feel that my time is hanging over my head like a sword of Damocles, ready to fall at any moment.

I have heard that dragon energy can nourish life and slow down aging. In the past, Emperor Wanwu promised to share some of the dragon energy with him.

However, tonight he heard that the dragon aura had quietly escaped, which made him feel helpless.

An indescribable anxiety welled up inside me, as if I had lost my last lifeline.

But at this critical moment, the White Snake knew that she had to remain calm and find a glimmer of hope, otherwise she would only face her end and turn to dust.

Or perhaps they could escape this place, the Holy Emperor could flee, and the outside world would be in chaos, which would be a good opportunity to prolong their lives.

However, the White Snake hadn't yet decided on her choice. Knowing some inside information and still harboring a sliver of hope, she thought to herself, 'I hope Master Wan isn't lying to me. I've been a loyal servant for over twenty years.'

The White Snake King stood respectfully with his hands at his sides, waiting quietly without a single complaint!

Emperor Wanwu, pretending not to see Emperor Qianwu's anger, softly asked the White Snake Child, "Anything else?"

White Snake immediately replied, "Reporting to Master, tonight the prince entered the palace, and the forces behind the prince have all made moves."

However, the palace was heavily guarded by imperial guards, allowing only the prince to enter; no one else was permitted to pass. Even birds couldn't cross it, and little was known about what was happening inside.

Immediately after a brief silence, a hint of undisguised envy flashed in Bai Shezi's eyes. She uttered a few words, yet they seemed to carry immense weight: "Also, I heard that General Yun actually broke through the Martial Emperor's limit tonight!"

Your subordinates have just confirmed with multiple sources that General Yun has indeed broken through!

Unable to suppress his confusion, envy, fear, surprise, and various forms of jealousy, they exploded in his heart like thunderclaps, and it took him a long time to calm down. Now, when the topic was brought up again, jealousy was still burning in his heart like charcoal!

Upon hearing General Yun's domineering voice, Bai Shezi guessed and confirmed that General Yun had broken through to the Martial Emperor realm. She was reassured, but still indulged in the illusion she had heard.

Still harboring doubts, he repeatedly confirmed the news, fearing it might be unfounded or a hallucination caused by his old age and declining health. However, each confirmation only made his sparse white hair more disheveled, and in one moment of anxious contemplation, he inadvertently plucked out a strand of white hair.

When the servant who had gathered the information rushed over, his face full of flattery, trying to please her, the white snake's doubts and expectations reached their peak.

He couldn't wait to ask and confirm, but when he heard that General Bai had truly become the Martial Emperor and that other forces in the city were also terrified, he was filled with immense anger and jealousy.

Enraged, he unleashed a palm strike, instantly reducing the servant to a horrifying pile of red, withered bones, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, leaving not a trace on the bone.

Looking at the servant who had become a human skeleton, only bones remained, a trace of regret welled up in the White Snake's heart.

After all, this servant had been with him for three years. He was usually obedient and well-behaved, and although he had his share of schemes, he was also quite loyal.

After calming down, looking at the servant who had turned into a skeleton, a complex emotion welled up in his heart. He whispered to the silent guards outside the door, "Make sure to give this person a proper burial and provide his family with a compensation of ten taels of gold!"

This was to demonstrate the government's recognition of his loyalty and to provide compensation to his family.

If any of their children wish to come to the household, they will be given priority.

"Yes, I will obey Butler Bai's orders."

"Thank you so much, Butler Bai, for your kindness. The entire Xiaoshi family will forever remember your great kindness. You are truly the most benevolent person ever."

The fierce-looking guard outside, with a crescent-shaped notch on his forehead, hurriedly expressed his gratitude on behalf of Xiao Shitou, tears streaming down his face.

He calmly cleaned up the floor.

The two hurriedly wrapped up the small stone and carried it away.

Beside a filthy, foul-smelling ditch, two of Moonbeam's guards, their heads covered with black cloths, gently sank into the deep water of the ditch as if picking up a small stone.

Ripples spread across the water's surface, as if to say that nothing had happened.

In the distance, there seemed to be two other people, also pouring something into the ditch, all at a considerable distance from each other.

The two carefully made their way towards the northern district, with Moon Seal guarding in front and others following closely behind, as if they were already used to it.

The Moonmark Guardian spoke softly, "Half for each of us!"

The person behind him quickly replied, "That's too much. The butler gave too much this time. I only need one."

His voice was low, seemingly filled with gratitude and humility.

The Moonmark Guardian nodded slightly, stating without room for argument, "Two it is then. No further discussion."

"Yes, yes, thank you, boss. I'll treat you to drinks when we get back!" The boss was overjoyed to have given him an extra piece of gold.

The Moon Seal Guardian nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, not rejecting the suggestion. A hint of coldness flickered in his eyes as he said softly, "Little Stone's family is in the North District, right? I remember their family's circumstances are quite difficult."
