A smug smile played on Wen Qing's lips. Chen Pi immediately replied respectfully, "Your Highness is truly wise!"

This not only perfectly avoided their own guilt, but also left the eldest princess and His Majesty with no possibility of backing down.

"Hmph, cough cough... Alright, let's set off quickly and get to Suizhou as soon as possible."

He slowly stood up and looked at the majestic city wall in the distance, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He thought to himself, "Feng Lin... Hmph, let's see how you deal with the simultaneous attack of the three kingdoms."

He was determined to get back at the humiliation he had suffered, bit by bit.

Upon learning that the envoy from Dongsang Kingdom had already left Fenglin, Rong Di couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Running pretty fast!"

Tana stared wide-eyed and said, "A tiny vassal state, like a rat in the desert."

Insidious and cunning, humph, running away so fast, there must be something to hide.

Otherwise, we'll show them the might of my Western Shu Kingdom!

She still remembered Wen Qing's scheming against them, and in her heart, she had already labeled Wen Qing and even the entire Dongsang Kingdom.

Rong Di looked up and glanced at Tana before speaking.

“Sister Wang, sometimes, being cunning and treacherous is also a skill.”

Don't underestimate them...

"Hmph, this princess would never stoop to associating with such creatures..." She looked down on rats.

However, upon seeing Rong Di's warning look, he immediately shut up.

Thor suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, we've already left Dongsang Kingdom. When shall we depart?"

"No rush, aren't there still people from the Southern Zhao Kingdom who haven't left?"

Let's see what they do first..."

As dusk crept through the window, Liu Jingyao stood under the old locust tree in the courtyard. A corner of her gray-blue skirt was lifted by the draft, then fell heavily back down, like a tattered cloth soaked in water.

Her eyes were like misty glass, unable to see the sky or the ground, only reflecting a chaotic white.

Someone walked by, laughing and talking loudly, but her eyelashes didn't tremble even slightly, as if her soul had been taken away, leaving her body like a wooden puppet, nailed to the spot.

Her face remained expressionless; she neither cried out nor struggled.

The sound of the night watchman's clapper came from afar, and she seemed startled by the sound, her eyes moving very, very slowly.

Yet it remained utterly empty, as if even the pain had become numb, leaving only a withered, decaying shell being gnawed at by venomous insects.

Seeing this situation, Wu Yu became even more furious with Liu Jing.

"Useless! Not only did you fail to handle the task, but you also lost two extremely rare Gu worms."

I really shouldn't have kept you here in the first place..."

No matter how angry Wu Yu was, Liu Jingyao on the other side remained completely unmoved.

Wu Yu frowned, thinking about the recent events. Dealing with Han Zixuan would not be an easy task!

But now that the Second Elder has also been crippled, he has no other options.

If they return to Nanzhao like this, their entire clan will be wiped out, just as prophesied…

What should we do...?

Liu Jingyao stood there blankly, her eyes vacant, drool dripping from her mouth.

Wu Yu glanced at it and felt utterly disgusted.

"Hmph, keeping you around is useless..."

Standing there like a living dead all day is a waste of time!

Immediately, the spell formed at her fingertips touched Liu Jingyao's brow, and a pale purple halo flowed along her blood vessels.

Wu Yu muttered to himself, and the silver bracelet on his wrist emitted a strange rhythm in response to his movements.

Within moments, a metallic taste rose in Liu Jingyao's throat, and her body arched uncontrollably, as if two brute forces were dragging her outwards along her veins.

The next moment, she suddenly knelt down on the ground, her hands digging into the cracks in the blue bricks until her knuckles turned white.

The pain in my abdomen and chest was more intense than ever before, as if something was tearing my flesh and shoving out.

She couldn't help but roll around on the ground, her black hair disheveled and tangled around her wrists, her plain dress wrinkled from being worn by the floor tiles.

"Ugh—" A suppressed cry of pain escaped her lips, and she suddenly turned to the side, spitting out mouthfuls of black blood.

The blood was as thick as ink, and when it splattered on the bluestone slab, it had an eerie color.

In the pool of blood, two thumb-sized black worms were writhing violently, their bodies glistening with an oily sheen, their heads and tails still stained with dark red flesh and blood.

Once separated from their human bodies, they writhed and twisted desperately.

As the struggles lessened, the body stiffened within moments and fell completely still.

"What a pity." Wu Yu's voice was filled with undisguised heartache. He squatted down, his gaze falling on the two insect corpses, his brows furrowing slightly.

These two types of Gu were cultivated by him over five years, and he originally intended to keep them as his natal Gu.

Now it's all destroyed, alas!

As the Gu worm left her body, Liu Jingyao's tense body suddenly relaxed.

She lay on the ground, panting, her chest heaving violently. Her previously empty pupils gradually regained focus, and although they were still misty, she could now see the scene before her clearly.

But the aches and pains emanating from every bone in her body, along with the lingering pain of the Gu worms tearing her apart, gradually brought her consciousness back.

She raised her head, her gaze falling on Wu Yu, then quickly sweeping over the insect corpses and the pool of black blood on the ground. Her eyes were first blank, then filled with deep panic.

Ignoring the pain all over his body, he desperately retreated.

He kept begging for mercy, "Let me go...please let me go...ah!"

Wu Yu arrived at the edge of the pool of blood, picked up the two Gu worms, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief, and put them away.

Only then did he raise his eyes to look at Liu Jingyao, who was standing silently to the side.

She rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's unlucky that my Gu worms were used on you."

"Not even good enough to be food for my little darling!"

Liu Jing is now a complete waste of her talent; we were truly fooled by her before!

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyao immediately prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed frantically.

"Hehe... Yes... I'm not worthy, I'm a useless piece of trash."

Please have mercy on me... and spare me!

Now all she wants is to live; she no longer dares to ask for anything more!

No matter what status or revenge, nothing is more important than living.

Wu Yu frowned. "Hmph, let you go? Wouldn't that be too much of a loss for me!"

You ate a lot of good food in my Nanzhao, and you didn't even keep any of the promises you made.

"And it even cost me two of my adorable babies..."

Liu Jingyao's eyes flickered, and she swallowed hard, saying, "Little...Little Prince...you are so kind, please...please let me go!"

After saying that, she slammed her head on the ground with a thud, and soon blood appeared on Liu Jingyao's head.

Wu Yu seemed oblivious, pacing back and forth in front of Liu Jingyao.

Her eyes darted around slightly. "Let you go... Hmph... You wish."

Liu Jingyao is truly putting him in a difficult position now!

Why bother with so much effort if we just let them go?

Liu Jingyao trembled uncontrollably at the thought of Wu Yu's methods, her whole body shaking like a leaf!

His eyes were sunken, making him look terrifying. "Little...Little...Prince...it really wasn't because I didn't try my best before."

Yes, it's Han... Han Zixuan is too cunning, she... she's a monster... no... I... I can't beat her..."
