"Let's go see who these people are. We'll kill them one by one, or two by two. I'll make sure they all die here today."
The white-haired old man's pupils contracted, and his aura suddenly turned cold, spreading a chilling presence throughout the entire cabin.
"Yes, Master!"
Chu Mian felt inexplicably excited that her master was finally coming out of seclusion.
Who says that people from Miao areas without proper background can't raise Gu poison, that they're all lowly people? His master wasn't one of them.
Despite having such a terrible experience back then, he left Miao territory, but didn't he return ten years later? Moreover, he knows many lost Miao forbidden techniques, and his martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle.
Once he emerges from seclusion, the rulers of Miao territory will no longer be surnamed Meng; this place will forever belong to his master.
And Chu Mian was the greatest contributor.
He will torture and kill one by one those who treated him like a dog.
"I'm a little tired. My goodness, what kind of huge dog is hiding here? How many formations are there? Shen Jinchen, you've dismantled more than 130 of them, haven't you?"
Cen Xi walked forward, panting all the way. She was exhausted. When she couldn't go on, she put her hands on her knees and asked while panting.
"You'll have to ask Lu Duling, Commander Lu."
Seeing that Cen Xi was exhausted, Shen Jinchen helped him sit down on a rocky beach and smiled at Lu Duling.
"Prime Minister, what does this mean? I don't quite understand what Turin means."
Lu Duling's cold eyes held a hint of wariness.
"That's right, you don't understand. If you don't understand, it explains why you insist on following the two of us."
Shen Jinchen's eyes held a smile, but the smile was cool and gentle.
"Prime Minister Shen is joking. I am following you because I am afraid that something might happen to you in Miao territory. After all, you are distinguished guests from the Central Plains. If something were to happen to you in Miao territory, wouldn't we Miao territory be in big trouble?"
Lu Duling's eyes narrowed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and spoke in a casual yet reasonable tone.
"Heh! Commander Lu, there's no need to pretend now, is there? We've already arrived here. I've heard Jun Jianchou say that in the early days of Miao territory, there were no Gu Kings or Gu Queens, only the King of Ten Thousand Gu in the hands of the Miao King. Unfortunately, due to internal strife, this Gu-raising technique has long since disappeared from your Miao territory."
"But sometimes things don't end there. For example, what if someone falls into the burial place of the emperor of your Miao region a long time ago and gets it by chance?"
"If that's the case, it explains why Mingzhi knew that Yan Shengxiao's soul was going to use the power of Miao Jiang to stir up trouble, and why a certain clever person instigated that fool High Priest to make the worst decision in order to carry out their grand plan that they've been planning for many years."
"Commander Lu, perhaps we are also part of your plan? Otherwise, how could someone in the Shen residence know Gu poison? Did you send someone specifically to teach them?"
Shen Jinchen raised his eyes and met Lu Duling's gaze for a long while. After a slight twitch of his lips and a few mocking laughs, he began to recount all his guesses.
"Prime Minister Shen is quite the thinker. This is far too conspiratorial. Don't forget, Prime Minister Shen, you chose to come here yourself. I only brought Tian Ying along for your safety."
Lu Duling stared intently at Shen Jinchen, gave a light scoff, and still smiled, denying everything.
"It's fine if you don't admit it. Just keep following me and see how I break your third uncle Lu Moxiu's formation. When we meet face to face, you won't deny it, will you?"
"Ah-Xi, get some rest. We still have a tough battle to fight later. Eat more!"
After casually glancing at Lu Duling, Shen Jinchen changed the subject and turned his attention to Cen Xi.
"Shen Jinchen, are you telling the truth?"
Cen Xi looked at Lu Duling with a complicated expression.
"What's true and what's false is no longer important. All we want is the King of Ten Thousand Gu, and all I want is to be with you forever. As for how chaotic Miao territory becomes? What does that have to do with us?"
Shen Jinchen handed Cen Xi a soft pancake, then unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to her.
"Hey! Tian Ying, do you know about his plan?"
Seeing that Tian Ying was still in a state of shock, Cen Xi couldn't help but wave her hand.
When Cen Xi called out to Tian Ying, her mind, which had been blank for a moment, started to react. She looked at Lu Duling with a lack of confidence and asked, word by word:
"Lu Duling, are they telling the truth or lying? You and your third uncle orchestrated all of this. Your true goal is to reshape Miao territory? For all this, you didn't hesitate to bring in an outsider, plunging Miao territory into chaos? And even caused my father's death?"
"No, I didn't, Aying! I never thought your father would die, or my father. Some things were planned by us, that's true, but the subsequent loss of control was entirely due to the elders. They were too greedy and were used by that ghost."
“Aying, I did all this because I love you so much. I can’t bear it. You are going to marry into the Zhu family. I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of my third uncle. I want to stand tall in Miao territory and marry you with the most glorious ceremony.”
"So I went all in and conspired with my third uncle. Now... are you going to abandon me?"
When Lu Duling saw Tian Ying looking at him with hatred, he panicked and blurted out everything he hadn't admitted before.
In truth, no one knows how much he loves Tian Ying. Even Tian Ying herself doesn't know. He can swear that he loves Tian Ying to the core.
"There are two allies involved in this matter, right? One is Yin Shun, and the other is Miao Hou. Now I finally understand why Yin Shun created a fake Gu Hou to fool that ghost, and why she didn't panic at all when that person went berserk and snatched her Gu Hou."
"So...so...she was waiting for the King of All Gu. If this Gu can be born, will the entire Miao region belong to you?"
Tian Ying looked at Lu Duling, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. In any case, she was in a terrible mood, feeling as if she had been deceived.
"Aying, let's not get stuck on this, okay? Only in this way can we be together openly and honestly."
"Only by abolishing the fate that has plagued Miao territory for hundreds of years can the people of Miao territory truly usher in a new life. You are a nobleman, and you will never know how those lowly people below you live a life of hardship."
"They are human beings too. You should know better than anyone why my third uncle had his leg broken and was thrown out of Miao territory back then, right?"
“This is the difference between classes, Aying. We are doing all this to break down this difference and make sure there are no more nobles and commoners in Miao territory.”
"Only the rule of the king can break everything. As long as we have the King of Ten Thousand Gu, we can restore the glory of the Miao people, let the Miao people live in peace and prosperity, and let every abused person receive the respect they deserve."
