The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Su Jingning took Yun Ya and headed towards Laoshan County to look for them. After walking for a long time, they met several armies searching for people along the way, but there was no trace of Gu Yanan and his companions.

If this wasn't the only road leading to Laoshan County, Su Jingning would have wondered if he had taken the wrong road.

"Miss, do you think that Master Gu and his companions haven't left for Laoshan County yet?" Yun Ya stopped behind Su Jingning, looking puzzled. She and the young lady had searched all the way but hadn't found Master Gu and his companions.

Su Jingning lowered his eyes and looked at the horseshoe prints left on the official road because it had rained last night. There were new and old horses, and the hoof prints were of varying lightness. Chen Xu's people and the Netherworld Guards all used official horses, which all had iron hooves, so the hoof prints were heavier than usual.

She had been following another type of horseshoe prints on the official road all the way. If she guessed correctly, they belonged to Gu Yan'an, but the horseshoe prints disappeared out of thin air here.

Su Jingning glanced at the dense forests on both sides of the official road. The forests were full of thick fallen leaves. If you were to walk through them, you wouldn't be able to find any traces without careful observation. But Su Jingning found some broken twigs in the forest on the left, which should have been accidentally dropped by someone riding a horse.

A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she said to Yun Ya, "They should have entered the forest. Follow me."

After saying that, he followed the traces into the woods, and Yun Ya hurriedly followed.

The other side of the woods.

Cheng Zong, dressed in black iron armor and with a ferocious Rakshasa iron mask on his face, led a hundred or so Netherworld Guards, riding on a steed. He looked at the handsome, arrogant and noble man in black and the people behind him who were trapped in the middle, with surprise and regret in his eyes.

Even at this desperate moment, he could still maintain such a calmness that ordinary people could not. He deserves to be able to sit in a high position at such a young age. It's just a pity that he is the one that the queen wants to kill.

"Master Gu, you can't escape with only these few of your men. You make the decision yourself. I will not take action to save your dignity." Cheng Zong said to Gu Yan'an in a cold voice.

Gu Yan'an stood tall and graceful, surrounded by the Netherworld Guards, with a calm expression, his eyes were like a bottomless cold pond, reflecting boundless coldness. The blood-red teardrop mole under his left eye made his temperament even more gloomy and cold.

He casually reached out and took off the crystal-white Buddha beads on his right wrist and put them in his arms. Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Zong, with slightly reddened eyes and a cruel and bloodthirsty look.

Mo You stood beside Gu Yan'an and glanced at his wrist with a worried look. Under the fair skin with distinct joints, the normally normal blood vessels were almost black in color, lingering ferociously on his wrist, looking scary and weird.

The master's blood parasite is about to break out. If the master uses his internal force at this moment, he will definitely not be able to control the blood parasite and will lose his mind.

Mo You was determined, and stood in front of Gu Yan'an, determined not to let his master use his inner strength. He was ready to fight to the death to carve out a bloody path for his master.

As soon as Su Jingning arrived, he saw that Gu Yan'an only brought four or five people and was surrounded by hundreds of Netherworld Guards. He also heard Cheng Zong asking Gu Yan'an to commit suicide. There was a flash of rage in his eyes, and a cold murderous intent.

She pulled three arrows from the horse's back, and took out six exquisite hollow iron beads made of unknown material from the pocket on her waist, and quickly tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of her skirt and tied it to the arrows. Then she drew the bow to its full length, aimed, and released the arrow.

"Just try to hurt him!"

An extremely cold female voice came from behind the Nether Guard, carrying suppressed anger and coldness.

Along with the sound came the sharp, piercing sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air. Before Cheng Zong could react to the sudden change, he was shocked by the scene before him and was speechless.

The objects attached to the three sharp arrows that broke through the air exploded in front of his eyes with a "boom". There were several loud noises and smoke filled the air. His soldiers were knocked to the ground and their horses were frightened and in chaos.

Su Jingning took advantage of the chaos and rushed towards Gu Yan'an, who was still handsome and expressionless in the chaos. He stretched out his hand and said sternly to him:

"Ayan, get on the horse!"

"Ning Ning!"

Gu Yan'an's eyes, which were originally as cold as a pond, were completely broken when Su Jingning appeared, and turned into surprise and joy, and then worry and doubt. He even forgot to react for a moment. Then he held her hand, climbed onto the horse, and sat behind Su Jingning.

"drive!"

Su Jingning pulled the reins and stepped over a Netherworld Guard.

Behind them, Yun Ya killed the Netherworld Guard who was attacking from behind Mo You with a sword, then looked at the frightened Mo You with cold eyes and pulled him onto the horse. Then he killed another Netherworld Guard who was coming forward, cleanly and neatly, without any mercy.

Mo You looked at the decisive and ruthless Yun Ya and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He had seen the maid of Miss Su Er, named Yun Ya. She was a woman who looked as weak as Miss Su Er, but was well-mannered and quiet, and her temperament was much better than that of ordinary young ladies from official families.

She didn't look like she knew martial arts at all, but she had just pierced a man's chest without blinking, cold and vicious, like a killer who had trained for many years, not at all like she was in the Imperial Capital. This Second Miss Su actually had such a master by her side.

Cheng Zong reacted quickly and rolled off his horse, so he was not injured by the explosion. There was choking smoke all around him, which was really blinding. He could only hear groans coming one after another, and many people must have been injured by the explosion.

When the smoke cleared, the people who were surrounded had long disappeared, and many of the Nether Guards were injured. Cheng Zong looked around coldly and saw the shattered carved fragments that fell to the ground. He bent over to pick them up. They looked like something made of black iron, with a pungent smell. Was this the little thing that just exploded? It was so powerful!

"Deputy Envoy, they have escaped, but should we still chase them?" The deputy general at the side glanced at the injured people, unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and said to Cheng Zong.

"Keep chasing!"

He put away the fragments and looked towards the road ahead with a sneer in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the end of the road was Qingfeng Cliff and there was a deep abyss below. They could not escape.

Su Jingning and Gu Yan'an sped along the way. She glanced at the surrounding scenery and a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. They had walked through the forest when they came here just now, and she didn't notice where this place was. If she remembered correctly, the end of this road was Qingfeng Cliff. She had been here before, but now the Nether Guards were chasing her, and she had no way to turn back.

Gu Yanan sat behind Su Jingning, with a look of forbearance and pain on his face, tightly grasping the corner of his clothes. He tried his best to suppress the pain in his body that was like a raging fire burning his heart and burning his internal organs, so as not to let Su Jingning notice his abnormality.

This damn blood poison, why did it choose to attack at this time? Without the ice room, he was afraid that he would not be able to control the poison and hurt her.

Su Jingning was always on the alert to see if someone was chasing after her, and didn't notice the gradually pale face of the person behind her. Yun Ya didn't catch up either, probably because she and she got separated in the confusion just now.

The concentration in Su Jingning's eyes grew heavier. He pulled the reins and stopped.

There was no way out, the front was the Qingfeng Cliff. There were steep peaks all around, and there was no way to go.

Qingfeng Cliff is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round. Therefore, there is no sunlight here all year round. Even if the weather has warmed up, standing on it, you can still feel the damp and cold chill coming from the bottom of the cliff.

Su Jingning looked at the bottomless abyss, and there was no fear in her almond eyes. She remembered correctly that there was a cold pool under the Qingfeng Cliff. Because the cliff was too high, almost no one knew what it looked like below. She only knew about it when she came here with her senior brother a few years ago.

Gu Yan'an got off the horse, and while enduring the gnawing pain in his body, he deliberately distanced himself from Su Jingning. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he tried his best to suppress the hostility and murderous intent that were about to burst out of his body.

No, he can't lose control. Ningning is here and he will scare her.

"Ayan, there is a cold pond underneath. We can go down... What's wrong with you?"

Su Jingning turned around to tell Gu Yan'an about the cold pool at the bottom of the abyss, but he saw him standing there motionless with a pale face, his hands clenched into fists, and bright red blood dripping from his fingers onto the ground. He called him, but he didn't respond.

Her expression changed instantly, and she quickly walked to his side and reached out to help him, but before she could touch him, he dodged her:

"Ayan, what's wrong with you? Is your hand injured?" Seeing that he avoided her, Su Jingning's eyes became more worried, but Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes and refused to look at her.

Gu Yan'an's eyes turned red when he heard this. He gritted his teeth, restrained the blood parasite power raging in his body, shook his head, and uttered a few words with difficulty in his hoarse voice:

"I am fine."

Su Jingning looked at his pale face and kept his head down, not looking at him. He became anxious, thinking that he was injured and was just trying to hold on. He took a few steps closer to him, speaking in a worried and anxious tone:

"Where are you hurt? Let me see."

"No...no, don't come near me...I will hurt you." Gu Yan'an raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling, and took several steps back, not letting Su Jingning get close to him. He was almost out of control, he was afraid that he would go crazy and hurt her.

Only then did Su Jingning see his red eyes clearly. Those pupils, which had always been as deep as a cold pond, were now suppressing boundless brutality and murderous intent.

She was stunned for a moment, a chill ran through her body, and the familiar fear almost suffocated her. She had seen these eyes before. In her previous life, when she helped Mu Ling and killed one of his secret agents in the Imperial Capital, he looked at her with such eyes that suppressed boundless murderous intent and brutality, as if he would break her neck in the next moment.

Gu Yan'an saw the fear in her eyes and his heart twitched violently. That was the look in her eyes when she saw him in Qingfo Temple that day. She... was afraid of him.

Sure enough, this look of mine would scare her.

He shook his head and closed his eyes, no longer looking at her, but tried his best to suppress the terrifying voice in his heart and not let it erode his sanity. The power of the blood parasite made him want to destroy everything in front of him. He was afraid that he would be controlled by the blood parasite and would not recognize her and hurt her.

The next moment, he clenched his fist, and his hand with bulging veins was held by a pair of soft and small hands.

The cool fingertips rested on his wrist, which made him feel more clear-headed.

Although Su Jingning was frightened for a moment by his extremely familiar eyes, she quickly realized that he was hiding something from her and he was afraid!

The veins on his neck were abnormally black, and were gradually spreading to the sides of his face. She suddenly pulled open the sleeves that had been covering his wrists, and sure enough, the veins on his wrists were dark and hideous.

There seemed to be a mysterious and domineering force in his body, wreaking havoc in his veins, causing him to show signs of losing control.

"You've been poisoned!" Su Jingning suddenly looked up at Gu Yan'an, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Gu Yan'an wanted to pull his hand away, but Su Jingning held it too tightly and he couldn't pull it out.

He could only shake his head, his voice dark and hoarse, trying to get her out of the way first: "Ningning, don't be afraid, I'm fine... You go first, I'll come find you later."

"Where's the antidote? Do you have the antidote? What should I do..." Su Jingning saw her face getting paler and paler, and lost her usual calmness. She didn't even pay attention to what he said about letting her go first. She lowered her head and frantically searched the small pocket on her waist, trying to find some medicine, but no, she didn't find any antidote pills.

Behind them, the sound of cavalry stepping through the woods was getting closer and closer to them, and soon appeared in her sight. Cheng Zong and the remaining Netherworld Guards caught up with them.

Su Jingning pulled Gu Yan'an behind him, stood in front of him, and protected him tightly. He looked at Cheng Zong and others with cold eyes, tightly grasping the soft sword in his hand.

Cheng Zong looked at the strange woman with a bright and cold face who was protecting Gu Yan'an in the distance. Was she the woman who had just used the hidden weapon?

"Who are you? I'm going to kill the person behind you. If you hand him over, I'll let you go."

Cheng Zong didn't want to kill her. Her hidden weapon was so powerful that he had never seen it before. If he could get the method to refine it, then the position of the leader of the Netherworld Guard would change.

Su Jingning sneered with a sneer in his eyes, and looked at Cheng Zong and slowly uttered a few words.

"Don't even think about it!"

Seeing that she was so ungrateful, Cheng Zong didn't want to cause any more trouble. His expression turned ruthless and he said coldly:

"In that case, don't blame me for not leaving you a way out."

Su Jingning looked at him and raised his hand, and the Netherworld Guards rushed towards her and Gu Yan'an.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in her cold eyes. How dare he kill her!

Gu Yan'an behind her looked at the Netherworld Guards rushing towards them, and a bloodthirsty excitement flashed in his red eyes, as if those attacking him were prey.

He flashed past Su Jingning and stood in front of her. He flew up and twisted two armored Netherworld Guards, then shook off the people who were blocking him. He drew out the dagger in his hand and stabbed the Netherworld Guards in the throat. The violent aura and bloodthirsty killing intent in his eyes became stronger after he was stained with blood. He was like a killer demon from hell, only knowing how to kill.

He was like an animal that only knew how to kill people. He only wanted to kill people and didn't even notice that someone was attacking him from behind.

Su Jingning fended off the man's sneak attack for him. She noticed something was wrong with Gu Yan'an. Something was wrong! He was in a very bad state!

We can't continue to be entangled with them.

"A Yan!" She called out to Gu Yan'an, and saw that he paused and stopped the killing in his hands.

Su Jingning threw the last thunderbolt in the bag on his waist to Cheng Zong, then grabbed Gu Yan'an, turned around and took him over the bottomless cliff without hesitation.

The thunderbolt exploded in front of Cheng Zong's eyes. This time he had no time to dodge and injured his right hand, which was blown into a bloody mess.

He cried out in pain and tightly grasped his right arm. He didn't have time to check his injury and quickly ran to the edge of the cliff. He leaned over and looked into the bottomless abyss, which frightened him so much that he felt dizzy.

In order to avoid death at his hands, they actually jumped down from here. No one knew what was down there, or how to get down. But falling from such a bottomless abyss would surely result in being smashed to pieces.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t get the hidden weapon used by that woman.

He lowered his eyes and stood up, saying coldly to the person behind him:

"Gu Yan'an is dead, withdraw your troops!"
