Bloody Kyoto

While waiting for Ancestor Han to sever the Fate-Stealing Technique, Li Manle did not leave the palace, but instead practiced his supernatural abilities in the space.

At that moment, she had no idea that something surprising and shocking was about to happen to her.

Han Yueze's first stop was the Fu family. When the Fu family learned that Han Yueze was coming, the whole family rushed to the door to greet him.

"Elder Han, your presence at my humble abode is an honor; I have failed to greet you properly," Grand Tutor Fu said obsequiously as he stepped forward.

Han Yueze did not respond and walked directly into the mansion.

The Fu family members were completely bewildered and didn't understand what he meant, so they could only follow behind.

Only Fu Cheng's gaze was deep and unsettling, as if he had a bad feeling.

After Han Yueze had walked around the Fu family's residence, his gaze shifted to the Fu family members following behind him.

His gaze was deep and carried an irresistible power, so even though the Fu family members felt uncomfortable under his gaze, they dared not move an inch.

After a long time, Han Yueze finally spoke his first words, "You have all been cursed by Zheng Jiaojiao with a luck-stealing spell."

Upon hearing this, the space seemed to freeze.

A moment later, all the members of the Fu family stared wide-eyed.

"what!"

"How can it be!"

How could she do that?

"When did it rain again?"

"Why did she do this?"

"..."

The Fu family members had clearly believed what Han Yueze said, and everyone's face was filled with fear and anger.

Grand Tutor Fu was swaying precariously, and Old Madam Fu clutched her chest, struggling to breathe, cursing "wicked child" repeatedly.

As for who this wretched child was actually cursing, only she herself knows.

Of everyone in the manor, only Fu Cheng remained calm at this moment. He asked respectfully, "Ancestor Han, surely our Fu family isn't the only one who has been cursed with the Fate-Stealing Technique?"

Han Yueze nodded slowly, "All those involved in the murder of Huo Yunxia were subjected to a luck-stealing spell."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Fu family gasped.

Grand Tutor Fu straightened up, and Old Madam Fu also caught her breath.

Knowing that it wasn't just their own family whose luck had been robbed, they felt a strange sense of balance.

"May I ask, Ancestor Han, what is the key to seizing the destiny?" Fu Cheng's mind remained clear.

He recalled that when Zheng Jiaojiao first proposed to seize the ability, only the Fu family knew about it at the time.

Such a thing as killing and eating flesh should not be known to many people, but Zheng Jiaojiao persuaded them to invite the emperor, Prince Cheng, Prince Ning, the Grand Princess, the Li family, the Zhou family, the Liu family, and others by using the reason of sharing the karma.

Looking back now, that reason seems somewhat incongruous.

Han Yueze glanced approvingly at Fu Cheng, thinking he was very clever, but blinded by greed.

"Once you die, the rest of your fortune will go to Zheng Jiaojiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of curses erupted.

Fu Cheng clenched his fists, his eyes turning bloodshot. What a Zheng Jiaojiao! Her scheming was so deep.

Even that otherworldly person was caught in the trap!

To seize their fortune, they must first die, and the one who does so is that otherworldly being.

Her escape from being chased by the emperor was probably also part of a scheme.

He was ordered by the emperor to arrest Zheng Jiaojiao and sent men to track her whereabouts. However, when he arrived with his troops, he discovered that her whereabouts were just a smokescreen to mislead her pursuers.

Fu Cheng was furious. He thought himself exceptionally intelligent, but he had never imagined that he had been led around like a puppet from beginning to end.

Actually, Fu Cheng was wrong about one thing, namely, regarding the matter of using the otherworldly person, Zheng Jiaojiao didn't know about the otherworldly person before she killed Huo Yunxia.

She wants to seize control of the executioners arranged by fate, not those from another world, but those who harbor rebellious intentions.

There are many people whose selfish motives are hidden, and who are eager to do something; all they need is a pretext.

And that's the reason she gave them.

It is truly shocking that an emperor would lead the way in eating human flesh and drinking human blood.

In addition, Huo Yunxia has treated many people, including many righteous individuals. Once this news spreads, the Great Merchants will surely be thrown into chaos.

And so her plan was accomplished.

However, the appearance of a vengeful otherworldly being delayed her plans.

Liuzhishan

Zheng Jiaojiao carried a bowl of soup through the cold stone corridor. Her eyes were gentle, but upon closer inspection, there was also a hint of helplessness.

Arriving at the door of a stone chamber, she knocked, waited a while but received no response, so she pushed the door open and went inside.

The first thing she saw was Fu Yanji's back as he sat upright at the desk. She walked over and placed Tang Xiaoxin on the desk.

"Yan Ji, this is chicken soup that I made myself. Drink some to warm yourself up."

Although it was summer outside, it was extremely cold in the mountains. Living in a stone house, the daytime was comparable to autumn, and the nights were no worse than winter.

Fu Yanji ignored her and just stared at the book in front of him. Zheng Jiaojiao was not angry and pulled up a chair to sit next to him.

"Yan Ji, I didn't know what you were thinking before, but now I know everything. I assure you, none of the Fu family members will have a good end."

Zheng Jiaojiao was relieved. Before she cast the fortune-stealing spell on the Fu family, she was worried that Yan Ji would blame her if he found out.

Just a few days ago, the foster mother let slip in her anger that Yan Ji hated everyone in the Fu family and even wanted to destroy them.

This coincides with her plan, which is great news.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanji turned his head to look at her, a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Of course they won't have a good ending, after all, the otherworldly beings won't let them go, will they?"

At this point, Fu Yanji suddenly chuckled softly, "Speaking of which, these people from another world have become my great benefactors."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiaojiao's face darkened. Although she wasn't entirely certain that the otherworldly person was Huo Lele, Zheng Jiaojiao was still convinced that it was her.

Yan Ji had lived with her for several years before; who knows how much of a relationship existed between them, or what other feelings might have been involved...

Hearing him call her his great benefactor, and seeing the gratitude on his face, she couldn't feel comfortable at all.

It has to be said that even the most shrewd woman will have strangely peculiar thoughts when she's in love.

Sure enough, Zheng Jiaojiao immediately made a decision.

"Yan Ji, I will give you an explanation within a month." After saying that, he got up and left.

Fu Yanji stared blankly for a while, then chuckled and continued reading.

Zheng Jiaojiao summoned her trusted subordinates and ordered them to take men to the capital and retrieve the heads of everyone in the Fu family.

Previously, Yan Ji planned to remain aloof and unattached, but now he considers the otherworldly beings his benefactors.

She naturally couldn't give this opportunity to someone else.

Whether she lets the otherworldly beings kill her or she kills them herself, there's not much difference; in the end, the destiny will belong to her anyway.

After her subordinates gathered their men and left, Zheng Jiaojiao stood in her room halfway up the mountain, looking at the distant Index Finger Peak, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Her long-cherished wish from a thousand years ago will surely be fulfilled a thousand years later.
