Liu Qingyun warned him, but Wu Wei completely forgot about it. Relying on the Soul Veil to help him pass through the soil, he followed Sheng Xiang into the underground dungeon and gradually approached the Dai father and daughter.
The Dai family, including the father and daughter, and their relatives, were mostly asleep.
The dungeon was filled with the smell of mildew and the sound of snoring.
Sheng Xiang cautiously rode his gold-eating beast, burrowing underground and circling the dungeon three and a half times. Finding nothing unusual or any sign of an array, he relaxed and, overjoyed, slipped into the dungeon, approaching the Dai father and daughter: "Shasha."
"Who's standing here..." Daiyu woke with a start, nudging Earl Dai beside her. They both jumped up, shouting, only to be met with Shengxiang's swiftly released sedative: "Hush!"
The incident happened suddenly and unexpectedly. In an instant, the Dai father and daughter were drugged, their faces and bodies exposed, and they inhaled some of the drug: "Ah, be careful..."
Earl Dai cried out in alarm, sacrificing himself to shield Daiyu from the side, but he was too late. Both of them were caught off guard and fell into a dazed state, shaking their heads and unable to stand steadily.
Sheng Xiang chuckled and stepped forward to grab the person: "Give it to me, I'll gladly accept the Dai Clan's Secret Realm, haha."
Zheng Ya is such a big idiot..."
"Is that so? If Zheng Ya is a complete idiot, then you're the biggest idiot of all..." Wu Wei walked into the cell with a smile, responding calmly.
Sheng Xiang turned around in surprise, bracing himself with his inner energy: "You, who are you?"
"Keep pretending, and see if I believe you don't recognize this princess."
Or how do you want to end this? Let's get down to business. If you want to play fancy tricks, this princess is afraid of hurting you! Wu Wei walked five meters closer to him and stopped. She watched as the Dai father and daughter collapsed unconscious on the ground, twitching, and her smile became more and more ambiguous.
The dungeon guards and henchmen on duty never go into the dungeon to check the cells at night.
There was a reason for slacking off: the dungeon behind the Inspectorate only had one exit, and as long as the entrance and exit were guarded, even if something terrible happened in the dungeon, it wouldn't matter.
The dungeon mainly holds death row inmates; it doesn't matter if a few die.
This is the reason why Wu Wei and Sheng Xiang acted with such impunity.
Sheng Xiang stopped pretending and tried his best to calm his flustered mind: "Princess Wu, you and I both know that this is a scheme set up by Zheng Ya."
Zheng Ya isn't directly targeting you and me; he just wants us to fight each other so he can profit from the conflict…
"Hmm, and then what?" Wu Wei had the same thought, but since she didn't sense Zheng Ya's presence at all, she didn't care.
Perhaps Zheng Ya deliberately threw his own life away to provoke hatred.
After all, Wu Wei's feud with Sheng Xiang was equivalent to transferring Sheng Xiang's hatred towards Zheng Ya. With them fighting each other, Zheng Ya was able to cultivate in peace outside.
Others may not know Zheng Ya's method of cultivation, but Wu Wei knows it perfectly well!
Zheng Ya profits from causing trouble, and he doesn't care who his enemies are, or rather, he doesn't want to make enemies.
Given such an opportunity to divert hatred, Wu Wei would have done the same.
Zheng Ya came from a poor background and didn't want to offend the main force of Qian Yuan. By diverting Sheng Xiang's hatred, he was essentially getting rid of a burden.
Besides, while others may not know that Zheng Ya possesses the Sea Anemone Spirit Plant, Wu Wei is fully aware of it. She also knows that Daiyu possesses the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb and is Fu Ya's fiancée, so there's no reason for her not to protect her.
So, it would be absurd for Wu Wei to both protect her fiancée's interests and safety and divert Sheng Xiang's hatred, making it difficult for her to deal with Sheng Xiang.
In truth, Wu Wei felt both helpless and clear-headed. Her newly awakened spiritual abilities were the root cause of her growing estrangement from Zheng Ya.
He had schemed against Zheng Ya many times, and had accepted Zheng Ya's favors countless times.
On the contrary, Wu Wei never revealed her true feelings to Zheng Ya, which led to Zheng Ya using Daiyu's family to test Wu Wei's abilities and character. Even Wu Wei herself wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
This is a kind of trust without trust!
At least for Wu Wei, this was the case; she felt guilty.
Sheng Xiang gritted his teeth in anger: "Are you trying to duel me so that Zheng Ya can get away with it and that bastard Xie Ming can benefit from it? Is it worth it?"
"No, no, no, you overestimate your own strength!" Wu Wei said with disdain, displaying an arrogant attitude that suggested he had the power to crush his opponent.
That's the truth. Sheng Xiang is still at the peak of the first level of supernatural ability. He will return to the Qian Yuan Continent after breaking through the realm. He stayed behind to fight Xie Mingming in order to plan for the spiritual plant and magic treasure.
Even if you lose, the Dai Clan's secret treasures are right in front of you. If you seize them, refine them for your own use, and then go back to get revenge, everything will go smoothly and you'll get what you want.
But just as things were about to go smoothly, Wu Wei became a stumbling block, and Sheng Xiang was furious: "You, you've been seeing Zheng Ya for over three years, and you're both second-tier ability users, this is too much..."
"You could actually choose to return to the Qian Yuan Continent..."
"Pah! You think you can make me a coward? I doubt you have the ability..."
"Oh, really? Why don't you try contacting the Gold-Eating Beast and see?" Wu Wei calmly walked towards the Dai father and daughter. Sheng Xiang couldn't stop her and was directly repelled by the spiritual and soul will emanating from Wu Wei.
Sheng Xiang contacted the Gold-Eating Beast in a panic, his expression immediately changing: "No, how come the Gold-Eating Beast I contracted is gone? This can't be real."
Tell me why, tell me now!
"Guess?" Wu Wei once again used her willpower to deflect Sheng Xiang's lunging attack, uttering a sentence that almost made Sheng Xiang die of anger: "You deserve to die!"
Just like your schizophrenic mother, a lunatic…
"Are you forcing me to kill someone to silence them?" Wu Wei was tempted to kill, but she was also afraid that the Tower of Babel mark would be exposed and cause trouble.
The Tower of Babel mark will reveal the cause of death of scions of large families, especially those who have awakened special abilities.
This rule was set up with the aim of uniting against external threats and minimizing internal friction, jealousy, assassination, and other unhealthy tendencies.
Otherwise, Wu Wei would have stabbed Sheng Xiang in the back long ago and killed him to silence him.
Sheng Xiang shouted angrily, "Little Wu girl, do you think I'm easily scared?"
Don't think that just because you've awakened a special ability, you can do whatever you want, or that the Wu clan will back you up. Compared to the Sheng family, what is the Wu clan?
"Very well, you lost the Gold-Eating Beast for those words. Will you continue?" Wu smiled, a chilling smile that radiated murderous intent.
As early as when Sheng Xiang said that her mother had a mental breakdown, it completely enraged Wu Wei.
Previously, Wu Wei was unaware of the internal affairs of her family, but after she awakened her soul spirit ability, the memories possessed by the evil spirit gradually unfolded, revealing some secrets of her family.
The mother's so-called schizophrenia was actually a conspiracy by the family to frame her.
In order to produce outstanding talents for the family, they use drugs and secret methods to induce mental schizophrenia in people, and after their bodies are restored, they unite with others to conceive the next generation.
Wu Wei was one of the test subjects' offspring, and she succeeded, but this became a taboo for her. She was angry about her mother's sacrifice, but she was powerless to resist. She hated it most when others brought it up.
Sheng Xiang sensed the murderous intent in her eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed hard: "We were originally strangers, why are you rubbing salt into my wounds?"
"If I say something taboo, you won't feel good. Do you think I'd feel good if you plotted against me?"
"Hmph, coward, get lost!" Wu Wei suppressed her killing intent and waved for him to leave. Sheng Xiang noticed someone watching and approaching, and gritted his teeth unwillingly: "Fine, I'll leave. I won't get involved in your mess with Zheng Ya..."
