First annul the engagement, then sever ties with the empress; the empress reigns supreme.

Mu Lingye did not react to Xuan Ying's words and continued to attack Xuan Ying with his sword at the same speed and power.

At first it was fine, but after a few moves, Xuan Ying was starting to struggle.

"Haha, Night Slave, that's it. I'll hold on and kill them." Leng Xuanjue watched with great interest, and the more disheveled Xuan Ying became, the happier he felt.

The thought of Mu Lingye waking up to find Xuan Ying and the others lying dead everywhere filled him with even greater satisfaction.

Xuan Ying was stabbed in the shoulder and staggered backward.

"Lord Xuanying."

The guards who were with Xuan Ying all surrounded him when they saw that he was injured.

They glared angrily at Mu Lingye: "Your Highness, what are you doing? We are your secret guards. How could you listen to others and kill us?"

Mu Lingye showed no reaction to the accusations. He continued forward with his knife, knocking down several more guards. Xuan Ying and the others seemed to have given up on Mu Lingye.

Xuan Ying retreated and shouted, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the same Crown Prince he used to be, let's leave and never work for him again."

Xuan Ying gave a shout, and the group quickly retreated.

Leng Xuanjue walked triumphantly to Mu Lingye's side, placing his hand on Mu Lingye's shoulder: "Night Slave, how does it feel to be betrayed and abandoned by everyone? I really hope you wake up now and experience it properly, but you're too disobedient, it's not the right time yet."

"Someone, bring me ropes," Leng Xuanjue ordered, intending to tie Mu Lingye up.

Mu Lingye saw through the poison and took the initiative to ambush him, causing him to change his mind.

Leng Xuanjue decided to end this game early and immediately kidnap Mu Lingye and send him back to Yan Kingdom.

"Yes." Upon hearing the order, one of Leng Xuanjue's trusted guards found a rope and walked towards Mu Lingye step by step.

Mu Lingye remained standing there with a stiff gaze, showing no reaction to the fact that he was about to be tied up.

Just as the trusted guard was about to approach Mu Lingye, Leng Xuanjue took the rope, waved the guard away, and, driven by his perverted possessiveness, wanted to tie Mu Lingye up himself.

One circle, two circles, three circles. Leng Xuanjue, lost in thought, grew increasingly excited with each binding motion.

Just as he was about to tie the rope completely, Leng Xuanjue's fingers were already knotting it. Just as he was about to tie the rope, Mu Lingxuan suddenly showed a strong struggle in his eyes and unexpectedly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.

The dagger flashed with a cold light, and Mu Lingye firmly grasped it in his hand. Then he pushed it forward, and the dagger pierced Leng Xuanjue's abdomen.

Leng Xuanjue winced in pain and bent over.

Mu Lingye drew his dagger, cut the ropes binding him, and seized the opportunity to attack Leng Xuanjue again.

Leng Xuanjue clutched his injured abdomen and dodged away. He hunched over, staring at Mu Lingye with a sinister smile: "Night Slave, I never expected you could break free from my control. I underestimated you again. The Gu is still inside you. You might be able to break free once, but can you break free every time?"

Mu Lingye remained silent with a cold expression, gripping the dagger as he lunged forward again. But at that moment, it seemed he had reached his limit, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

"Haha, you've forced your way out of the Gu poison's control and suffered a backlash. If you keep struggling, you'll die. Mu Lingye, I order you to stop right now."

Mu Lingye's expression changed repeatedly, sometimes stiff and sometimes struggling.

It was as if Mu Lingye was fighting with the Gu worms inside his body, each vying for control of his body.

Just as the stiff man was about to gain control, Mu Lingye suddenly slashed his palm with the dagger he was holding.

Use physical pain to wake yourself up.

One cut wasn't enough, so he slashed his own shoulder, and with that action, he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

His expression showed that he had made up his mind; even if it meant his death, he would break free from Leng Xuanjue's control.

"Good, good, good, as expected of my night slave, ruthless to me, and ruthless to yourself." Leng Xuanjue laughed loudly, his desire to conquer rising to its peak after being provoked by Mu Lingye.

He gave a cold glance to the group of trusted guards standing behind him: "Are you all dead? Hurry up and help me tie him up."

Following Leng Xuanjue's order, a group of guards surrounded Mu Lingye. However, Xuan Ying and the others who had just retreated returned and blocked their path.

The two sides clashed again, and because Xuan Ying and his group had returned suddenly, they quickly gained the upper hand in this battle.

Leng Xuanjue finally understood. It turned out that Xuan Ying and the others' disappointment and departure was also a scheme orchestrated by Mu Lingye to lower his guard and deliver a fatal blow.

Leng Xuanjue's blue eyes became even more eerie. He abandoned his attempt to control Mu Lingye with Gu poison and personally took up his knife, wanting to quickly and decisively eliminate Mu Lingye. However, an unexpected incident occurred again.

Mu Lingye waved his hand, scattering a handful of poison powder. Leng Xuanjue's eyes were blinded, and after covering his eyes and regaining his balance, he realized that his eyes were in great pain.

"Mu Lingye, you actually used poison! Are you even a man?"

"A man? Precisely because I am a man, I must kill you today." Mu Lingye's mouth was full of blood from resisting the poison, and now his teeth were stained with bright red, reflecting an eerie red light in the sunlight.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he steadily plunged the dagger into Leng Xuanjue's abdomen once again.

This time, the blow was to a vital point, yet Leng Xuanjue managed to dodge it. His body trembled, and he collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

In his final moments, his lips moved slightly in despair: "Why... is it not good to follow me?"

"Of course it's bad, you're a pervert. I'm not." Mu Lingye replied coldly.

Leng Xuanjue closed his eyes.

After making several worst-case scenario plans involving mutual destruction, I have finally washed away this stain completely today.

The one who cast the Gu poison is dead, and the Gu worms inside his body have no cure. The ownerless Gu worms are running rampant in Mu Lingye's body, and at this moment, they have reached their peak of backlash.

Mu Lingye tasted a slightly metallic sweetness again, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

He couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"Your Highness!" Xuan Ying called out with concern.

Even as he lay on the ground, Mu Lingye still insisted on shouting, "Don't worry about me, kill everyone here, leave no one alive."

The matter of killing Leng Xuanjue today must not be leaked, otherwise Yan might immediately launch a war against Dasheng. Dasheng is currently in internal strife, and if Yan attacks, it will have no strength to resist.

Secondly, if news of Leng Xuanjue's death were to reach the capital, Mu Lingxuan would be on guard. Gu Junxi would also connect this matter to him and would certainly worry about him.

Mu Lingye, who initially seemed heartless, was thinking of others in his last moments before losing consciousness.

Mu Lingye fainted after speaking.
