"Senior, did you really invite me here to kill me?"
Li Zhu looked at Mu Ling with a puzzled expression and asked!
"Otherwise what?"
Mu Ling retorted, looking at him as if he were an idiot!
"Then why do you insist that I bring Consort Zhu along?"
Li Zhu asked his second question: if the goal was simply to kill him, there was no need to bring Consort Zhu along; he could have just used Qingqing and Yingying to threaten him!
"While killing you, I'll also fulfill a request from an old friend..."
Mu Ling did not hide anything from Li Zhu's question and answered directly and frankly!
"I suppose your old friend is Zhu Wen?"
Li Zhu asked tentatively, wanting to confirm who this person was!
"That's none of your business..."
Mu Ling didn't want to answer questions related to herself, which left Li Zhu somewhat helpless. Since the other party was powerful, he couldn't interrogate her directly, so he could only probe indirectly.
"Where do they require you to take Consort Zhu?"
Li Zhu wanted to determine who had commissioned Mu Ling by finding out the location the other party gave, since someone who could hire such a master must be of high status!
"They only need me to kill Consort Zhu; they don't need me to take her away..."
Mu Ling knew that if she didn't tell Li Zhu the information he wanted, he would continue to dawdle, and what she least wanted to do right now was to keep dragging things out!
"What? Kill me? Was it Shi Le or my father Zhu Wen? Why are they so heartless?"
Consort Zhu, who had remained silent until Li Zhu was killed, finally spoke, but her tone was filled with disbelief…
"Shut up!"
Li Zhu and Mu Ling spoke up simultaneously, their synchronized actions stunning Consort Zhu, leaving her speechless with tears. She, who hadn't yielded even to the Emperor, now resembled a lonely, helpless child. But who was responsible for all of this? If she hadn't brought this upon herself, she would certainly be enjoying wealth and status, if not the Empress…
Ignoring Consort Zhu's feelings, the two scolded her and then exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anxiety. One was anxious to see Xiaolongnu, and the other was anxious for the safety of Qingqing and Yingying!
Where are Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying?
Li Zhu finally asked the question he most wanted to know!
"They're fine, you don't need to worry..."
Mu Ling replied patiently, not wanting to waste time on such a question!
Li Zhu was not satisfied with this answer. Without seeing the person, how could he be sure if the two were okay? He wouldn't easily believe just based on the other party's words!
"Wang Riqing was a disciple I took on in the secular world..."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhu was stunned, staring at Mu Ling in disbelief. But then he understood. This explained why the other party was able to easily take Wang Riqing away. As for why Yuwen Yingying also disappeared, it was simply because the two of them were often together; she was a bonus…
Where are they?
"In a courtyard not far away..."
"Alright, I'll take you to see Little Dragon Girl..."
A few simple words of conversation dispelled Li Zhu's worries. He then decided to take Mu Ling to see Xiaolongnu. Otherwise, if he pushed Mu Ling too far, even if she didn't kill him, she would still suffer some hardship!
"Since you've brought Consort Zhu here, then kill her..."
Mu Ling raised her finger sword, preparing to strike for the third time…
"No, I don't want to die. I know the secret of the Zodiac Book, Li Zhu. Let me go, and I'll tell you the secret of the Zodiac Book..."
Whoosh!
A burst of energy struck, directly entering Consort Zhu's body and instantly severing all her life force, leaving Li Zhu with no time to react!
Although Mu Ling could have stopped it, she didn't. After all, it was all about killing Consort Zhu, so it didn't matter who did it!
"who?"
Li Zhu roared angrily, but no one responded to him!
"ah…"
Li Zhu roared angrily. He hadn't even heard the information he wanted when someone killed him. This was clearly intentional, to prevent Consort Zhu from revealing the secret of the Yellow Path Heavenly Book!
Why didn't you save her?
Li Zhu roared at Mu Ling with red eyes, but the next moment he was enveloped by a strong killing intent, which instantly brought him to his senses. Seeing the lingering killing intent in Mu Ling's eyes, Li Zhu knew that he had just lost his temper and angered Mu Ling...
"I'm here to kill her. I'm going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter who I die at..."
Mu Ling suppressed her killing intent and said indifferently!
Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Facing such a master was still too much pressure; every word and action could kill without leaving a trace!
"Senior Mu Ling, she hasn't revealed the secret yet, do you think you could..."
Li Zhu didn't know if Mu Ling had this ability, after all, his strength was still too low, and he didn't know if there were any special abilities when martial arts were high...
Mu Ling glanced at Li Zhu, and although unwilling, she still squatted down and tapped Zhu Fei a few times before saying...
"Hurry up, it should only take a few breaths..."
Upon hearing Mu Ling's words, Li Zhu quickly bent down and whispered in Zhu Fei's ear.
"Consort Zhu, what were you trying to say just now?"
"The Imperial Seal of the Nation..."
After uttering those four words, Consort Zhu remained silent, dying a tragic death beside Li Zhu…
Holy crap! It's over already?
Li Zhu was once again struck by the fragility of life; a concubine of the emperor, dying so easily!
Consort Zhu only mentioned the Imperial Seal of the State in the end, which he found difficult to understand. He wanted to know the secret of the Book of the Zodiac, but she mentioned the Imperial Seal of the State. Could the secret of the Book of the Zodiac be the Imperial Seal of the State?
Li Zhu's mind seemed to have been opened up, and he suddenly understood why so many people were fighting over the Book of the Yellow Path; it turned out that it contained the secret of the Imperial Seal of the State...
Naza, Shi Le, and Zhu Wen all knew this secret…
Perhaps his cheap father also knew, but the other party allowed the Book of the Yellow Path to fall into his hands. Could this also be part of his plan?
If that's the case, then that's terrifying...
Li Zhu instructed the Marquis to send someone to dispose of Consort Zhu's body, while he himself took Mu Ling back to the Eastern Palace...
"Your Highness, you're amazing! You traded Consort Zhu for Mu Ling..."
Wang Yanzhang stared in shock at Li Zhu and Mu Ling beside him, and then shouted without restraint!
Bang!
"ah…"
Li Zhu shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "You really deserve it. You dare to say anything. Don't you even know who you are?"
This is Mu Ling, the seventh elder of the Red Dust Sword Pavilion. Even if you are Wang Riqing's father, you still won't escape being beaten. I'm already being lenient by not killing you...
"Senior Mu Ling, please calm your anger. The people in your household are ignorant of etiquette; please forgive their ignorance..."
Li Zhu said with a forced smile!
