"I was careless and let him get away. I wasn't done playing with him yet."
Seeing Lin Feng open up, Shen Zhao wasn't in a hurry at all. He just regretted that he hadn't had a chance to make a few sarcastic remarks, which was a bit unsatisfying.
But having achieved his goal, he had no regrets.
Raymond Lam's reputation is now ruined, and his dream of living off his wife based on his disfigured face is likely to come to an end.
He wanted to repay Lin Feng with tenfold, a hundredfold, the resentment from these nine lifetimes. He wanted to see these so-called self-righteous chosen ones of destiny reduced to dust, and to be despised by the whole world forever.
However, that's all for the future. What interests Shen Zhao now is the Myriad Dao Slave Mark on Ning Ruoxue's body.
"Sect Master Ning, haven't you noticed anything unusual about yourself?"
Ning Ruoxue snapped out of her shock and glared at Shen Zhao, her eyes wide with fury: "It's all your fault! You're the one who turned Afeng into this! Why were you so cruel!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Hao could no longer contain himself: "Hey you, I suggest you think before you speak."
My older brother could kill Lin Feng as easily as crushing an ant, why bother with all this trouble?
It's not that Raymond Lam naturally looks like that; you're just fooled by his Korean-style plastic surgery on his pig-like face.
Think about it carefully, how could any man possibly look like that?
I have a friend named Ji Yushen with a center-parted hairstyle. He can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball. People call him "Pigeon" as soon as he appears on screen, but nobody looks that outrageous!
Dugu Xin wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, I've always had doubts about the authenticity of Lin Feng's face."
Now that Elder Shen has shown his discerning eye and seen through his true colors, Sect Leader Ning, you should thank Elder Shen.
Everyone chimed in, each telling their own story about Lin Feng's faults.
But Ning Ruoxue wouldn't listen: "No, you're all lying to me. A-Feng couldn't possibly look like that. It's all Shen Zhao's fault!"
Liang Hao and the others were about to make more sarcastic remarks, but Shen Zhao stopped them: "Alright, all of you stop talking, because no matter what you say, she won't listen!"
Why?
"Now is not the time for such nonsense. You, Empress Xuantian, right? I have completed what I promised you. Now it's your turn to clean up the mess."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao decisively stepped onto the imperial steps, displaying the imposing presence befitting an emperor, and surveyed the entire ceremony venue from in front of the dragon throne.
Ouyang Wudi, hiding among the officials, felt a chill run down his spine and immediately prepared to make a run for it.
But just as he was about to unleash his natal magic weapon, he suddenly felt a numbness in his chest, and a suffocating spiritual energy instantly locked his eight extraordinary meridians.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing the person before him, Ouyang Wudi's face was filled with disbelief.
Bei Chen Yuan Yin remained expressionless and said calmly, "Ouyang Wudi, you have started a war with the Yuwen family..."
"You have allowed the northern regions to be ravaged by war for two thousand years, and it seems you have shown no remorse whatsoever."
Ouyang Wudi frowned deeply, gritting his teeth: "Beichen Yuanyin, didn't you also rebel with us? Do you want to betray us now?"
"Ha, Ouyang Wudi, you pride yourself on your wisdom, but how can you compare to His Majesty?"
My Beichen lineage has served His Majesty loyally for generations; how could we possibly associate with a traitor like you?
"What's the meaning!"
Ouyang Wudi's face was filled with disbelief.
"Let me tell you the answer!"
Mu Qiuyao sat upright on the dragon throne, her face cold as she said, "Because the Beichen family is completely innocent, his journey with you to the Northern Region is ostensibly for atonement."
In reality, it's to monitor your Ouyang and Yuwen families to prevent further trouble. In other words, the Beichen clan is my spy planted in the Northern Underworld.
Do you understand now?
Ouyang Wudi's mind went blank for a moment, staring blankly at the aloof Mu Qiuyao.
Bei Chen Yuan Yin led Ouyang Wudi to the foot of the Emperor's Steps, then respectfully stepped aside and bowed to Mu Qiu Yao, saying, "Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission and eradicated the influence of the Ouyang and Yuwen families in Bei Ming over the years!"
"What! You!"
Ouyang Wudi immediately coughed up three liters of blood, and pointed at Beichen Yuanyin, his voice trembling.
"You knew from the beginning that His Majesty was not dead?"
"Hehe, the fall of a Great Emperor will inevitably be accompanied by strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. Ouyang Wudi, have you forgotten such a simple and easy-to-understand principle?"
"Ah~~ all our efforts have been in vain~~"
Ouyang Wudi was furious. He had always prided himself on his superior cultivation and wisdom in the Northern Region, but he never expected that he would make such a mistake.
Mu Qiuyao glanced at everyone and then said, "By imperial decree of the Immortal Dynasty, the Seven Vanguards of the Northern Region are to return to the court immediately to report. Within three months, I want to see the heads of the Northern Region rebels placed in the west of Bibo City!"
"Your Majesty, we obey the decree!"
"Imprison Ouyang Wudi and all the other traitors. Once their crimes are proven, their entire families will be exterminated!"
"Jun Yutian, Mo Qingci, you two were unable to distinguish right from wrong and almost caused a great disaster. I hereby grant you permission to atone for your mistakes and quickly assist the Seven Vanguards in quelling the chaos in the Northern Region!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
After issuing all the orders, Mu Qiuyao looked at Ning Ruoxue with a cold expression. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Shen Zhao's secret voice in her ear: "She has been poisoned by the Myriad Paths Slave Codex. Deal with her later!"
Mu Qiuyao understood immediately: "Ning Ruoxue, remove her from the position of Sect Master of Tianjue Holy Land and temporarily detain her in the palace!"
Ning Ruoxue remained silent, allowing the guards to take her away.
After dealing with all the trivial matters, Mu Qiuyao looked at Yu Xiyan again, her expression somewhat complicated.
"Empress Da Yin, stay here. The rest of you, disperse. You are forbidden from entering the capital unless summoned by imperial decree!"
...
Outside Bibo City, by the stream.
No! My face! My face!
