Hearing these words, Liu Yue was not surprised. She continued to ask, "How many beast souls has your beast soul Gu Diao devoured in total?"
"Countless, hahaha, countless! Those people are honored to become my stepping stones! They should feel lucky!"
"Mmm..." Feng Wan desperately covered her mouth.
But it was completely beyond her control; "Mother, it's Mother..."
"shut up!"
Nalan Yao suddenly sat up, and her spiritual power surged forth, sending Feng Wan flying.
The intense pain caused the medication to lose its effectiveness prematurely.
"Ah!" Feng Wan's already shattered dantian was completely destroyed by Nalan Yao's attack!
"Mother, Empress Dowager..." Feng Wan looked at Nalan Yao in disbelief.
"What did you feed her that made her talk such nonsense?!"
Nalan Yao's expression was no longer calm and noble; she was now flustered.
The distance has decreased.
Nalan Yao was shocked by Jun Liuyue's aura; she had seen the same aura in Long Li before.
Long Li possessed her, and she had never seen herself with such a powerful aura.
Even after regaining control of her body, Nalan Yao still couldn't be like Long Li.
But she saw this kind of imposing presence in a teenage girl.
The people who came today are all prominent figures on the mainland.
Once Feng Wan's act of devouring beast souls was revealed, it had already incurred public wrath.
"I never imagined that the prestigious Azure Dragon Royal Family would have someone so bewitched!"
"If cultivators on the continent all used evil arts to advance their cultivation levels by devouring beast souls, wouldn't that create chaos?"
"That's right. I used to think that Feng Wan was a talented girl with a promising future at such a young age. I never expected her to be so bewitched!"
"Was Empress Nalan truly unaware of this matter?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
No matter what, Feng Wan is just a seventeen-year-old girl. How much ability could she possibly have?
But Nalan Yao was different. Back then, Nalan Yao had access to the most top-tier resources, so finding some evil arts would have been a piece of cake for her.
"Mother, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again." Feng Wan realized that her mother was considering giving up on her, so she quickly said.
But at this moment, Nalan Yao had already noticed that Feng Wan's dantian had been shattered.
He's a complete and utter failure now.
But after all, it's a child we've raised for so many years.
"It is my fault for not disciplining them properly! I will definitely give the world an explanation!"
Nalan Yao looked at Feng Wan with disappointment and frustration.
Looking at Jun Liuyue on the side, a stark contrast was formed.
This contrast deeply stung Nalan Yao.
"An explanation? How does Your Majesty intend to explain?"
At this moment.
A soft laugh rang out, and Feng Jinzhi walked over, smiling as he said, "Could it be that we're going to behead this girl and display her head to appease public anger?"
"Feng Jinzhi!"
Upon seeing Feng Jinzhi appear, Nalan Yao had a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Uncle..."
Feng Wan felt a sense of fear. From childhood to adulthood, her father and uncle had never liked her, especially her uncle... Every time he saw her, his eyes were terrifying.
“No matter what, she’s just a seventeen-year-old child. Can a child in their teens really have such great abilities?” Feng Jinzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Wan: “I think this girl must have been bewitched by a villain and fallen into evil ways!”
"Your Majesty, my uncle is right. Uncle, save me. I don't want to die."
Feng Wan is the person who understands Nalan Yao best in this world.
When she was a child, it was only when her cultivation level couldn't keep up.
Nalan Yao was like a completely different person.
Now that she knows she no longer has a dantian, she definitely won't let her go!
Feng Wan placed all her hopes on Feng Jinzhi, pleading, "Uncle, please save me."
"Feng Wan!"
Nalan Yao said in a deep voice, never expecting Feng Wan to be so spineless.
"Little Feng Wan, as long as you reveal the mastermind behind this, your royal uncle will spare your life."
"Feng Jinzhi!"
"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry? I never said you were that villain."
Nalan Yao: ...
"Guards, take the princess back!"
If it falls into Feng Jinzhi's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? Are you perhaps rushing to kill someone to silence them?"
"Royal Uncle!"
Frightened, Feng Wan hid behind Feng Jinzhi, grabbing his sleeve, and met Nalan Yao's murderous expression.
Terrified.
He was trembling all over.
Seeing Feng Wan's reaction, Jun Liuyue felt a strange pang of sympathy.
But in a moment, the smoke dissipated.
"Yes, it was my mother! She forced me. She said I had to become the number one person on the continent, otherwise, otherwise I would be disgracing her. I didn't want to!"
Feng Wan clutched Feng Jinzhi's clothes tightly: "Your Majesty, Imperial Uncle, save me! The Gu Diao Beast was also a gift from Mother... I didn't want to kill so many people, but I have to become stronger, otherwise I'll be disgracing Mother. I'm scared, I'm scared that Mother will throw me into the Water Confinement Prison..."
Feng Wan huddled behind Feng Jinzhi like a quail.
These words were spoken.
The room erupted in uproar.
"Feng Wan, you have truly disappointed me." How much cultivation resources did she waste in order to help Feng Wan advance her cultivation level?
Although she was indeed a bit strict, it was all for her own good.
But now, in front of everyone, Feng Wan is pushing all the blame onto her.
It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, I will thoroughly investigate whether what Xiao Fengwan said is true. If this matter is related to Your Majesty, I will pursue it to the end." Feng Jinzhi said with a smile, "After all, I am not only a member of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, but also an elder of the Wentian Academy."
Nalan Yao sneered without saying a word, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"I have failed to properly educate my children; it is my fault. Today, I will give the world an explanation!"
An invisible hand suddenly grabbed Feng Wan and forcibly lifted her into the air.
"Mother, Empress Dowager!"
Feng Wan's pupils widened. "No, don't!"
She didn't want to die!
Feng Wan struggled desperately, but in front of Nalan Yao, who was at the Spirit Venerable Realm, she was like an ant, and would die with a gentle pinch!
Just at the critical moment, the spirit whip wrapped around Feng Wan's waist, and then—bang!
Nalan Yao was knocked back several steps, and she looked at Jun Liuyue in disbelief.
This little girl's cultivation level is so high!
Even she... was no match for him!
"Royal Uncle, save me—!" Feng Wan grabbed Feng Jinzhi as if she had grasped the last straw.
"Even tigers don't eat their cubs, Your Majesty the Empress is truly ruthless! Or is it that little Feng Wan isn't even your bloodline?" Feng Jinzhi asked with a grin.
