"Yes! All of this in Miao territory was planned by us long ago. Tian Ying, I did all of this for you. I want to have you and don't want us to end up like Uncle San and Empress Miao back then. That's why we did all these things together despite the consequences."
"Tian Ying, just because I want to rebel against the hierarchical system that has existed in Miao territory for so many years, are you going to leave me now?"
Lu Duling glanced at Tian Ying with a surprised expression, then her gaze became deep and complicated, mixed with a hint of grievance.
"What about my father? And your father, Lu Duling? Why don't you even spare them?"
Tian Ying's eyes were filled with disappointment, as if to say how could she have fallen for someone who dared to kill his father.
“Those were all accidents. I let Yan Shengxiao in just to stir up the stagnant waters of Miao territory. The deaths of my father and your father were completely outside my consideration. Tian Ying, I'm not as bad as you think.”
Lu Duling hurriedly explained to Ueda Sakura, who was looking at him with disappointment.
"You! I...!"
Tian Ying didn't know how to deal with this explanation. She disagreed with his actions but had no grounds to be angry with him, so she shook off his hand and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Lu Duling was extremely nervous, fearing something might happen to her, and without thinking, she followed her inside.
"Uncle-Master, you've got some impressive skills. You've managed to trick everyone here into coming to Miao territory. I can take them with me. King of Ten Thousand Gu, all we ask for is that you borrow the King of Ten Thousand Gu to remove the Gu poison from Prime Minister Shen's body. We won't interfere in anything else. What do you say?"
After Tian Ying and Lu Duling's commotion, Jun Jianchou understood what was going on. He then hugged his sword and stared intently at the sinister-looking old man.
“No way? Jun Jianchou, you can get through this but I can’t. This isn’t over. You go away, I’ll negotiate with this old man.”
As soon as Jun Jianchou finished speaking, Cen Xi was the first to object. She was always vengeful, and she couldn't stand being tricked by this old man.
“Yes, Jun Jianchou, you have no right to make decisions for me and Cen Xi. I am the prime minister of a country and a descendant of the royal family of the Great Qi. To be mocked like this is taking me too seriously. Moreover, you even schemed against Cen Xi.”
After Cen Xi retorted, Shen Jinchen immediately made his stance clear. He could tolerate being bullied, but he would never forgive a woman who bullied his woman, even if she was an elder.
"Since you've discovered me, then let's fight. I've never been afraid of anyone. Since Grand Chancellor Da Yan and Princess Da Yan have such backbone, I'll naturally grant their request. The King of Ten Thousand Gu is the cornerstone of Miao territory. Young man, do you think you can just borrow him as you please? You're overestimating yourself."
After listening to Cen Xi and Shen Jinchen's words, the old man glanced at the three of them with disdain and spoke in a cold tone.
“Husband, this old man is too arrogant. Although my master dislikes me, I still believe he has some professional ethics. But this man is extremely selfish. I don’t know who insisted on taking him as a disciple in the first place. Today, let’s clean house, shall we?”
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow, her tone contemptuous and disdainful.
When did the threshold for accepting disciples in the Hidden Sect become so low?
Can someone of such low character really be a member of the Hidden Sect? Did Jun Jianchou mistake someone for someone else?
“Good! Strictly speaking, we come from the same source, so this is a very appropriate way to clean house. As for your wife’s request, I will naturally comply.”
Shen Jinchen narrowed his eyes, patted Cen Xi's head, and smiled indulgently.
"If Martial Uncle refuses to lend the King of Ten Thousand Gu, then don't blame your nephew for being impolite. If the Hidden Sect's Grandmaster knew that he saved such a scourge as you, he would have let you fend for yourself. If the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley hadn't felt pity for you when he saved you, how could your Gu techniques and medical skills have reached such a pinnacle?"
"Uncle-Master, you have disappointed them greatly."
Jun Jianchou was completely unfamiliar with this Yin Keding; it seemed that a fight was inevitable today.
"Enough nonsense. I left the Hidden Sect and Medicine King Valley ten years ago, severing my master-disciple relationship before I left. Young man, stop pretending. It's true that I stirred up this mess in Miao Jiang, that's my goal, and you and that soul are just my tools. But so what? I've already used you. Do you think a few words from you can make me feel guilty? You're dreaming."
Lu Moxiu's eyes were terrifyingly sinister. Over the years, he had saved countless people and killed countless people. He had planned all of this simply to avenge the grudges of the past.
He used these outsiders without a second thought, and felt no remorse whatsoever. He was selfish and cold-hearted, and never had a soft heart.
As for his master and the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, he didn't ask them for help. They were the ones who foolishly saved him. He felt that he owed them nothing.
The only people he owes are the Miao Queen and her daughter. They deserve the best, so everything that's happening in Miao territory now is just an attempt to make up for what he owes them.
"Then what are we waiting for? Shen Jinchen, you come from the left, and I'll come from the right. If we don't kill this culprit today, we'll both be letting him down after all this playing around."
Seeing that the old man showed no remorse whatsoever, Cen Xi couldn't contain himself any longer. After speaking with Shen Jinchen, he drew his sword and slashed at the white-haired old man.
"Hmph! A mere trick. I don't even care about this little skill. Chu Mian, you fight this woman. If you win, you'll be a great general, and your master will take you to enjoy the best of everything."
The moment Cen Xi's sword pierced through, Lu Moxiu instantly erected a blue light barrier around himself, then raised his hand and flicked Cen Xi towards Chu Mian.
Cen Xiqi's eyes reddened, and he wanted to go over, but his internal strength was not as good as the old man's decades of accumulation, so he could only vent his resentment on that boy named Chu Mian.
At the same time, Shen Jinchen and Jun Jianchou exchanged a glance, drew their swords, one from the left and the other from the right, and together they used all their skills to unleash a powerful sword strike.
They had learned internal skills from a young age, so they were naturally more than one level above Cen Xi, who was a newcomer. Therefore, the barrier that Lu Moxiu had just maintained was instantly broken by the two of them.
The three of them clashed. In a battle between experts, besides talent, internal strength also matters. After the three of them unleashed a powerful attack, the outside of the White Building was instantly transformed into a scene of chaos and ruins.
The commotion outside naturally alerted Zhu Yanniang and Wen Qiyu inside.
"Looks like the enemy those two were waiting for has finally arrived? I'll go take a look."
Zhu Yanniang smiled and walked out with her sword in hand. That scoundrel wanted to scheme against her, so she would take advantage of their chaos and make them taste what it's like to be attacked from both sides.
"I'm going too!"
Wen Qiyu also felt resentful that outsiders had maliciously arranged his fate, so after Zhu Yanniang finished speaking, he finally decided to stand up from the golden snake.
