Chapter 135 Liberation
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
"Xuanmo, what's going on?" Xuanqing asked curiously as he saw the beastmen heading in one direction.
The group remained silent.
Seeing that they didn't answer, she continued to press, "What exactly is going on?"
The less they answered, the more uneasy she felt.
Worried that she was too anxious, Jin Tong said, "Black Serpent Queen, you don't know yet, but we were also besieged by the Black Teng today."
"The Black Serpent King doesn't believe it after hearing about it, and he's currently gathering his men to correct him."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing's emotions surged instantly, her anger rising, "Is Hei Teng going to rebel!?"
"Mother, please don't get agitated. We've already come up with a way to punish Heiteng. You've just recovered, so it's not good for you to get too emotional," Xuanmo comforted her.
“Alright, Mother, don’t be agitated,” Xuan Qing said. “Take me there quickly, I want to expose his evil deeds.”
Xuanmo knew he couldn't dissuade her, so he took her there.
At this time, a considerable number of Black Serpent Orcs had gathered below the Black Serpent Clan's sacrificial altar.
Everyone speculated about what the Black Serpent King wanted to do by summoning them.
"What happened?" Ansha asked worriedly when he saw Xuanqing's pale face.
"I almost lost my life this time," Xuan Qing said with emotion.
"Qing'er, who hurt you?" An Sha asked urgently. "I'll send someone to kill him right now!"
“It’s the Black Teng,” Xuan Qing said weakly, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish.
Upon hearing that it was Hei Teng again, a sinister glint flashed in An Sha's eyes as he suppressed his anger. "How dare he!?"
"He gave you the herb of forgetfulness, and after I caught him, he managed to capture me and lock me up in prison..." Xuan Qing recounted the whole process.
"This Black Teng, I think he's tired of living!" An Sha roared in a low voice.
At this moment, Yan and Mo Li captured the snake-beastman who had escaped and brought him before them.
"What's going on here?" Ansha asked.
"Tell me, where were you going?" Nightmare demanded, holding the fleeing black snake orc hostage.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about," the black snake orc stammered, trying to cover his tracks.
"You won't talk, huh? I think you don't want your life anymore." After saying that, Yan was about to strangle him.
"I'll talk, I'll talk," the black snake said hastily, its neck being choked so tightly it was almost suffocating.
Yan relaxed a little. "The new leader..." He glanced at Xuan Mo and Shu Ning, then paused.
"Speak quickly!" Nightmare urged.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." He regained his senses after being frightened by the nightmare and continued, "The new leader heard that the wolf clan has mystic crystals that can bring people back to life, so he used the queen to test the effect."
"That bastard! What a waste of money raising him!" Xuan Ting said, his teeth itching with hatred.
Knowing that it was the wolf clan's Xuanjing Stone that saved her, she looked at Shu Ning with guilt, "Ning Ning, your mother is sorry for you..." After saying that, she remembered all the things she had done for her before, and her nose couldn't help but tingle.
"Mother, what are you saying..." Shu Ning asked in confusion, but then she instantly understood when she thought of the raw meat incident last night.
“The meat from last night…” Xuan Qing said.
"That's all in the past." Shu Ning thought of Xuan Mo's mother and decided not to dwell on it.
"Mm," Xuan Qing replied. She hadn't expected that the legendary fiery Shu Ning would be so tolerant and magnanimous. She felt a mix of emotions, including gratitude and shame.
"Xuan Qing, go and rest in the back." After An Sha led Xuan Qing downstairs, he returned to find that Hei Teng had already arrived.
At this moment, Hei Teng, who had already secretly instructed his subordinates on how to coordinate their statements, appeared triumphantly.
"Father," Hei Teng greeted him in a light tone, then glanced at Xuan Mo, Shu Ning, and his beastmen beside him.
At this moment, An Sha's face turned ashen, but he still managed to respond.
He wanted to see how he was going to put on his act.
By this time, almost all the Black Serpent Orcs had arrived.
"Let's begin," Ansha said coldly.
“Yes, Father.” Ansha gestured for the orcs who had been instructed beforehand to come forward.
The black snake beastmen below the stage watched with great curiosity.
"Tell me, did Hei Teng lead you to ambush Xuan Mo and the others today?" An Sha said coldly.
When the beastmen below the stage heard that Heiteng had actually dared to kill Xuanmo, they couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"No, Your Majesty," the beastmen replied in unison, their faces expressionless but their hearts filled with tension.
"Think carefully before you answer, or you'll be beheaded if you lie," Ansha said.
“No…we’re not lying,” the beastmen said one by one, but sweat was already beading on their foreheads.
“Father, I have a way to make them think carefully before answering,” Shu Ning said.
"Oh? What method?" When An Sha heard Shu Ning call him father, he felt a strange sense of intimacy, and the anger on his face lessened.
At this moment, Shu Ning showed him the mother Gu that had been removed.
When the beastmen saw the giant female insect reappear, they all became wary and tried to approach.
Shu Ning raised her other hand to signal them to steady themselves.
At this point, the mother Gu had already been tied up with a rope.
She then tore off one of the mother Gu's feet, and the mother Gu immediately emitted a sharp, piercing vibration in pain.
It was buzzing as if sending out a distress signal, but being bound, it couldn't spread its wings and fly away.
Seeing this scene and hearing this piercing sound, all the orcs became curious.
At this moment, Xiao Chong covered Shu Ning's ears.
Jin Tong didn't understand why she did this, but he took the mother Gu from her hand.
"Don't step on it!" Shu Ning shouted anxiously after seeing Jin Tong put it on the ground.
As the vibrations continued for longer, the parasitic Gu within the beast's body seemed to be awakened, and upon sensing the mother Gu's call, they began to try to crawl out and save her.
At this point, the parasitized beastmen began to feel discomfort in their bodies. At first, it was itchy, but later it became so itchy that they wanted to scratch their hearts and livers, and their expressions became more and more painful.
Upon seeing this scene, Jin Tong and the others frowned. "What's wrong with them?"
“They are growing,” Shu Ning said, looking at the groans from the audience.
"Them?" Jin Tong didn't understand.
"You'll understand in a moment," Shu Ning said.
At this moment, Xuanmo felt even more pain than when he felt despair towards the Black Serpent, looking at the pained expressions on the faces of the audience below the stage.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
The black tung, which was also parasitized, felt an unbearable itching all over its body, but no matter how much it scratched, it couldn't reach the itch inside its body.
Just as they were about to lose their temper and go berserk, suddenly tiny black insects flew out of their mouths.
It then flew towards the platform.
Upon seeing the swarm of tiny insects flying towards them, Jin Tong, Xiao Chong, Mo Li, Xuan Mo, and Yan all wanted to pick up Shu Ning and leave.
Xiao Chong, who was closest to Shu Ning, picked her up first, while Shu Ning took out her lighter, pressed the highest setting, and burned the flying insects in groups.
As more and more flying insects swarmed towards them, group after group, Jin Tong shouted, "Run!"
