Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 559

Shen Lingjun turned her gaze away and fell silent, pretending that she hadn't said anything.

Fu Shiyan, however, seemed unconcerned and genuinely wanted to discuss the topic with her seriously.

“I don’t know who my parents and family are. I’ve been in Naihe Mountain since I can remember. The only thing I do is train how to kill. Besides killing, my existence seems to have no other meaning. I don’t like Naihe Mountain, but it’s the only place where I feel I have value. Naihe relies on my leadership to maintain and develop. So, I really don’t know what else I can do.”

Shen Lingjun stared at him, still unsure what to say, but her gaze towards him had changed.

She felt no sympathy for Fu Shiyan. He was a ruthless killer, his hands covered in blood, and he didn't care about human life at all.

However, his core values ​​are to regard human life as worthless as ants. In his eyes, other people are really just like insignificant ants on the ground. Just like ordinary people don't feel much guilt when they step on an ant, no one ever thinks that killing an ant is insane.

Aside from killing, he couldn't find his place in this world.

Shen Lingjun didn't know how to evaluate him. As a normal person who grew up in a normal environment, she had no right to judge such a person.

"I'm going back to the mountaintop."

Shen Lingjun had no choice but to end the conversation and turn to leave.

She never wanted to come to this valley again.

Fu Shiyan followed her outside. But just then, a servant named "Naihe" rushed over.

"Sect Master! Mo Chonggui has led his men to attack Naihe Mountain!"

Shen Lingjun suddenly turned her head.

Mo Zhonggui has finally arrived!

Fu Shiyan had clearly anticipated Mo Zhonggui's arrival, and remained calm, simply asking, "How many people did he bring?"

"The exact number is uncertain, but there are at least a hundred people! And they are all top-tier experts! Even the guards of Naihe Mountain might not be able to stop them. Sect Master, you should go there quickly!"

With over a hundred people, Mo Chonggui didn't have that many experts available in Western Qi. He must have transferred a group of experts from the Eastern Depot from the capital of Northern Yi. No wonder it took more than a month.

Shen Lingjun immediately said to Fu Shiyan, "I have revised the antidote for you. As long as you take the medicine for a while longer, you should be able to completely cure Yu Chen's poison. Mo Chonggui attacked Naihe Mountain mainly for me. If you release me and return me to him, he should retreat. You probably don't want Naihe Mountain to be breached and the entire 'Naihe' organization to be destroyed, right?"

Mo Chonggui does indeed have a grudge against Fu Shiyan, but this grudge is secondary to that of the Western Qi royal family. He wouldn't lead the Eastern Depot to attack Naihe Mountain just to seek revenge against Fu Shiyan.

Both sides are filled with experts; regardless of the final outcome, this battle will inevitably result in heavy losses for both sides. Mo Chonggui's revenge is not yet complete, and he certainly cannot afford to be so reckless now just because of the Talisman Master Banquet.

Fu Shiyan didn't look at Shen Lingjun, as if he hadn't heard her words at all. The next second, he was no longer in the same spot.

Shen Lingjun didn't expect the Talisman Master Banquet to be so stubborn. His Yu Chen poison had already been cured, so there was no point in keeping her around. What was the point of keeping her around? Was going against Mo Zhonggui something good?

She cursed inwardly and rushed over.

But this time, she was stopped before she even reached the front of the mountain.

"Madam Shen, you can't go any further."

Even from where Shen Lingjun was standing, he could hear the tremendous sound and shaking of the earth shaking in front of the mountain.

Mo Chonggui seemed to have had the Eastern Depot bring over the latest explosives and firearms developed by Qin Jianxi. The explosion was so loud that Shen Lingjun had never heard it before, and the ground shook violently.

A fireball suddenly landed not far in front of Shen Lingjun, with a loud bang, and a raging fire shot into the sky. The building that looked like a mountain gate was instantly blown to pieces.

"Madam Shen! Step back! Go back to the mountaintop!"

A "Naihe" assassin approached Shen Lingjun. How could Shen Lingjun listen to them now? She was thinking of releasing all the poison in her space so that she could take down a group of people and then she would have a chance to escape and find Mo Chonggui.

At this moment, a crimson figure suddenly rushed out from the billowing flames and thick smoke below. Two "Naihe" assassins surrounded him, but after a few exchanges, they were both defeated.

"Mo Chonggui!"

Shen Lingjun stepped forward with delight, but before she could get close to Mo Zhonggui, another figure appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

Fu Shiyan said calmly to Mo Zhonggui, "Chief Mo, with such a grand display, openly destroying my sect and killing my men, you've gone too far."

Mo Zhonggui sneered: "You should also know that Shen Lingjun is my fiancée. You kidnapped her and imprisoned her in Naihe Mountain for more than a month without any intention of releasing her. Isn't that going too far?"

That day on the Anlin Grand Canal, he saw Shen Lingjun fall into the water and be instantly swept into the bottom by a whirlpool. He jumped into the water to look for her, but it was too chaotic at the time, and he could not find her anywhere, whether underwater or on the surface.

Later, the assassins withdrew, and the canal returned to calm. Those who fell into the water on the imperial boat were rescued by later boats, but Shen Lingjun was not among them.

Mo Zhonggui sent people to search around the canal, and with great difficulty they found a clue. Following the trail, they discovered that she had been taken to Mount Naihe.

Naihe Mountain was a place even more heavily guarded than the imperial palace. Even Mo Chonggui couldn't sneak in on his own. So he had to first transfer troops from the Northern Yi Eastern Depot, bringing a large amount of firearms and explosives, and simply take down Naihe Mountain in one go, resolving the feud with Fu Shi Yan along with it.
