Chapter 666 Someone is causing trouble
King Nanyue is very clear about the layout here.
She knew that what was placed inside this stone pillar was one of Nan Yue’s most precious treasures, the Insect Flute.
When the mechanism was pressed, there was a slight sound and a metal box popped out from the stone pillar.
King Nanyue stretched out his pale and thin right hand.
His fingers paused when they touched the box.
She suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that after opening the box, she would see that it was empty, and then she would have to face the pain of being abandoned by that person again.
Xiao Xixi didn't urge her, but just stood quietly by the side waiting.
After a long time, King Nanyue slowly opened the box.
A piccolo carved from jade lay quietly in the box.
The piccolo is only the size of an adult's palm. It is very delicately made and has a crystal clear texture. It is obviously an extraordinary product at first glance.
The moment King Nanyue saw it, he was stunned.
She picked up the insect flute in disbelief, looked left and right, and made sure it was indeed the insect flute.
She muttered absentmindedly.
"There are three treasures in total, and all three are here. So what was the treasure he took away that year?"
She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her hand holding the insect flute began to tremble slightly.
"Could it be...did he lie to me again? Could it be that he didn't take anything?"
She then denied the speculation.
"No, if he didn't take Nanyue's treasure, how could he have completed the mission and successfully inherited the position of the headmaster?! He must have taken something from me!"
King Nanyue couldn't figure it out.
She grabbed Xiao Xixi's arm and asked anxiously.
"Do you know what treasure your master took from Nanyue?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "When I joined, Master was already the head of the sect. He never talked about his past in front of us, and I don't know what he got."
"What about your brother? Does he know?"
Xiao Xixi: "I'm not sure about that either."
King Nanyue: "Take me out quickly, I want to ask him in person!"
She was just about to put the insect flute back when she heard a commotion outside the cave.
Then she heard a scream.
It’s the sound of colorful butterflies!
King Nanyue's expression changed.
She didn't know what she was thinking of, she just put the insect flute in her arms and said to Xiao Xixi.
"Go out and see what happened?"
Xiao Xixi bent down, picked her up on her back, and ran out of the cave quickly.
The closer you get to the cave entrance, the clearer the noise outside becomes.
The people outside were all speaking Nanyue dialect, and Xiao Xixi couldn't understand a word they said.
But King Nanyue understood.
She said with a sullen face, "There's someone making trouble outside."
The Cave of Ten Thousand Insects is a forbidden area of Nanyue. Except for King Nanyue, no one else is qualified to come here, not even the great wizard with a high status.
But now, there was a commotion outside, and from what they were shouting, it was obvious that they were targeting King Nanyue.
This means something big has happened in the village!
King Nanyue whispered, "I will find a way to stop those people later. You and your brother should leave here as soon as possible."
Xiao Xixi sensed the heaviness in her words and asked hurriedly, "You are the King of Nanyue, do they dare to do anything to you?"
King Nanyue sneered, his tone full of disdain.
“These things should not be known to you, a foreigner, but now that things have come to this, it doesn’t hurt to tell you about it.
Originally, my father wanted my younger brother to inherit the throne, and then let me inherit the mantle of the great wizard.
But due to some unexpected events, I ended up inheriting the throne, and my brother was forced to become the Great Wizard."
Xiao Xixi was quite surprised: "The great wizard we met before turned out to be your brother? But you two don't look alike at all."
King Nanyue coughed twice and continued.
"After becoming the Great Wizard, my younger brother was not content and once wanted to compete with me for power, but I suppressed him.
Now I am seriously ill and I will definitely not live long.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to overthrow me and establish himself as king."
Xiao Xixi thought to herself, power is so tempting. Whether it is the Dasheng royal family or the Nanyue royal family, there are people who will do anything to fight for power.
King Nanyue coughed twice more, and his voice became hoarseer.
“Now that I have handed over the Incarnation Gu to you, the Great Witch will definitely seize this opportunity and unite everyone to overthrow me in one fell swoop.
If you stay here you will only become the target of the Great Witch.
The Great Wizard is a cruel and ruthless person. If you fall into his hands, you will surely die without a complete corpse.
I will find a way to delay them later. You two should leave quickly and leave Nanyue as soon as possible.
As long as you leave the Southern Moon Realm, you will be safe."
Xiao Xixi was worried: "What will you do then?"
King Nanyue: "Don't worry, I have a way to protect myself."
As they were talking, the two had already reached the cave entrance.
The cave door was still tightly closed.
Xiao Xixi used her inner strength to push the door open with one hand.
The bright sunlight came in, causing Xiao Xixi to squint subconsciously.
There were many people gathered outside the cave, and at first glance there were at least five hundred of them.
The leader was a great wizard in a black robe.
He looked gloomy, with dense black tattoos all over his pale face and sinister eyes, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, giving people a cold and vicious feeling.
Just now, the Great Wizard and his men tried to break into the Cave of Ten Thousand Insects, but were stopped by Caidie and Fang Wujiu.
The witch then released poisonous insects to bite them.
Fang Wujiu was skilled in martial arts and quick in reaction, and avoided the sneak attack by the poisonous insect.
But the colorful butterfly couldn't escape and was bitten on the neck by the poisonous insect, causing her to scream in pain.
The screams that Xiao Xixi and King Nanyue heard in the cave just now originated from this.
The Great Wizard has always been ruthless in his attacks.
The poisonous insects he raised were extremely toxic. Anyone who came into contact with them would die instantly, leaving absolutely no chance for the person to breathe.
When Xiao Xixi came out of the cave carrying King Nanyue, Caidie had already died.
When King Nanyue saw the corpse of the colorful butterfly lying on the ground, his anger burned like a living fire.
Caidie had served her for so many years and had always been loyal to her. Now she was killed just like that. How could she accept it? !
She looked towards the Great Witch, her eyes full of fierceness.
"Cai Die is someone close to me, and you killed her immediately. Do you still have eyes for me, the King of Nanyue?!"
King Nanyue has been in a high position for many years, and he usually has an aura of majesty without even getting angry. When he gets angry, his aura is even more incredible.
Those who were originally clamoring to break in were frightened and shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
Only the great witch was not affected.
He smiled sinisterly, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"So you still remember that you are the King of Nanyue?
Since you knew that you were the king of Nanyue, why did you hand over Nanyue’s treasures to outsiders?
As the King of Nanyue, you should know the importance of the incarnation Gu to us Nanyue people.
But you still insisted on handing over the incarnation Gu to outsiders.
This shows that you don't care about Nan Yue at all.
If that is the case, why should we respect you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, those people who had been intimidated by King Nanyue's power regained their confidence and started shouting again.
"The Great Wizard is right! You are not worthy of being the King of South Moon!"
