“Is that true?”
Lord Jing was thrilled when he heard the news. He stared at Feng Wu in disbelief.
Feng Wu nodded. “It’s true. According to the princess, Senior Ma went to the front line and told her to stay in Donglin City for the time being and not go anywhere else.”
Lord Jinh walked back and forth in excitement.
He couldn’t wait any longer, so he went to Night Owl.
Night Owl was cultivating at the moment. After the breakthrough, he had risen from a Level-2 Spiritual Saint to a Level-4 one.
“Is Ma Quanquan gone?” Night Owl rose to his feet in excitement.
Lord Jing nodded in excitement.
Night Owl said, “Ma Quanquan won’t be gone for too long. He’ll be back in a day. This is our only chance.”
Lord Jing nodded.
Night Owl said, “My father has been showing my second brother favor recently, trying to make him my competitor. If that’s the case, we’ll blame it on him.”
Lord Jing asked, “Not on His Majesty?”
Night Owl said, “Father has too many capable cultivators. Even if all your people join hands, they’ll still be suppressed and won’t have any chance of winning. They’ll only suspect us. When they realize what’s going on, they’ll counterattack. So…’
Night Owl smirked. “We’ll destroy his favorite son. Of course, if this gets out, he’ll be incriminated as well. After all, that’s his favorite son. Only then will he be implicated.”
Lord Jing nodded. “Good.”
What they didn’t know was…
Little Phoenix was recording their conversation with a Spiritual Fossil Stone.
The Spiritual Fossil Stone was very hard to come by. Feng Wu used to have one, but she had used it already and couldn’t use it again.
Luckily, they were in the Dongsang Kingdom.
With the help of Dayan, the Dongsang Kingdom was relatively advanced in technology. Therefore, Night Owl and Lord Jing both had several Spiritual
Fossil Stones in their vaults. The one in Little Phoenix’s hand was found by Feng Wu after she raided Lord Jing’s vault.
He then handed Feng Wu a piece of paper.
Feng Wu opened it to find an address.
35th Court, Donggu Avenue.
“Got it?” Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu was at a loss, but she still nodded. “Yes.”
He stared at Feng Wu and said, “This is the second prince’s private residence. After you took Princess Yan Ling away, knock her out and throw her into this manor. Then…
He finally said, “You can leave after that. That’s all you need to do.”
Feng Wu could guess what Lord Jin was going to do, so she nodded and said, “Alright.”
As for Ma Quanquan’s trip to the Junwu Empire, Feng Wu believed that as long as Master Linghu was in the imperial capital, no one would dare to touch her family. Therefore, she wasn’t worried.
While Feng Wu was taking action, so was Lord Jing.
Apart from Jing Wei, he also had secret guards.
However, Feng Wu was so capable now, which was why he had sent her to kidnap Princess Yan Ling. Otherwise, he would have sent his secret guards.
Princess Yan Ling’s current residence was in the most prestigious part of the imperial capital apart from the imperial palace.
The Dongsang King had given her a place to live in the palace, but Princess Yan Ling didn’t like the atmosphere in the palace, so she chose an exquisite manor to live in.
It was more like a garden than a manor.
The courtyard was filled with pavilions, and a stream flowed down the slope. It was quite exquisite.
Of course, Lord Jing wouldn’t send Feng Wu alone. He had also sent a team of secret guards to help Feng Wu with the possible trouble.
Feng Wu jumped into the manor and moved as swiftly as a cat. The night watchmen didn’t notice her at all.
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up as soon as she set foot inside. So, this garden was covered with formations.
Ma Quanquan must have set it up before he left to protect Princess Yan Ling.
But Ma Quanquan would never expect to meet a formation master like Feng wu.
It only took Feng Wu five minutes to solve the formation. She then quickly moved around the formation until she arrived at a courtyard.
It was a two-story building built against a slope and was surrounded by lush green grass. The cornices were hidden among the trees.
The room was dimly lit by candles.
This was the core of the formation and the safest spot. Therefore, Princess Yanling should be living here.
Feng Wu couldn’t help but slow down when she reached the core.
She Imew that it was the safest place for Princess Yan Ling, but for an intruder like her, it was the most dangerous place.
There were traps everywhere, waiting to cut off the invaders’ heads.
Holding her breath, Feng Wu carefully bypassed the buttons that triggered the mechanisms.
All of a sudden, Feng Wu halted.
When she dodged a button over her head, she stepped on something hard.
That was…
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched.
If she guessed right, she was stepping on a secret landmine of the Dongsang Kingdom. Once she let go, it would explode.
The explosion alone wouldn’t be able to hurt her, but if all the traps were triggered, Feng Wu would probably die here. Just then, she heard noises a short distance away.
It sounded like two maids.
One was crying, and the other was trying to calm her down.
The crying one said between broken sobs, “The princess is so terrifying… I saw with my own eyes that Xiaodi…”
The one who tried to talk her out of it said, “Stop it! You’ll be decapitated if word gets out!”
The crying one sobbed. “So be it. I don’t want to live anymore. It’s better to die than to have my skin peeled off. Xiaodi was only a little slow in her reaction…”
The other one said in a hurry, “That’s why we have to keep our eyes open from now on. We can’t afford any mistakes!”
The one crying said, “I don’t know how long we’ll live.”
They were getting closer and closer. Soon, they would reach Feng Wu.
She had no choice but to take the risk.
Feng Wu bent down and pressed the dagger on the landmine. Only then did she carefully move to the side.
After that, Feng Wu crouched down and carefully removed the landmine. When she hid in the shadows, she saw two maids coming her way.
Feng Wu noticed that both maids were very pretty, and their skin was so fair that one could almost squeeze water out of it.
“Is the Dongsang Kingdom so good at raising pretty people?” Feng Wu thought to herself.
Feng Wu noticed that each of them was holding a sack, as if they were discarding something big.
Feng Wu only walked out of the shadows after they were gone. She moved as swiftly as a cat.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Wu was outside the window.
However, she would be easily spotted here, so Feng Wu jumped onto the roof without making a sound.
It was frighteningly quiet.
One could hear the sound of the wind.
Feng Wu sniffed, for she could smell blood, which seemed to come from this building.
Sniffing around, Feng Wu soon located the spot where the smell of blood was the strongest. She leaned over the roof, lifted a roof tile, and looked down.
What Feng Wu saw was a shocking red color.
It was the color of blood.
She saw a bath.
The bathtub was supposed to be filled with water, but Feng Wu saw that it was blood red.
It wasn’t dyed red.
It was filled with blood.
The smell of blood was repulsive, but Feng Wu saw that Princess Yan Ling was the only one in the room. She had taken off her clothes, and her skin was glowing.
She slowly walked into the blood pool.
Feng Wu felt a chill run down her spine.
There was so much blood in that pool. It had to be hundreds of people’s blood!
Princess Yan Ling was taking a bath in the blood pool?!
Feng Wu saw her lying in the pool with a satisfied smile on her face.
Feng Wu was astonished.
Had Princess Yan Ling been killing hundreds of people every day to fill the bath with her blood so that she could take a bath?
Why did she do that?
Soon, Feng Wu realized that Princess Yan Ling had absorbed all the blood in the pool. There was no trace left.
And Princess Yan Ling’s cultivation level had risen!
Feng Wu noticed that she was about to become a Spiritual Saint.
Princess Yan Ling said coldly, “Double the amount of blood every day from now on!”
A hesitant voice rang out. “Princess, Master Lei said that it’s already very difficult for them to find teenage girls with spiritual essence… It’s already very hard to find the current ones. However, we’ll do our best to send people out. They won’t delay your cultivation.”
Princess Yan Ling smirked. “Yuexin, you’re so stupid. Why stop at the Dongsang Kingdom? Just expand the circle and go to the other kingdoms, especially the Junwu Empire. If they can raise someone like Feng Wu, they have to have a lot of resources. We don’t need to reason with them! It’s their honor to give their lives to the people of the empire! The emperor will do it anyway, and no one will blame us for it. Just go get it!”
Yuexin said, “…Yes.”
Feng Wu drew in a breath.
And she was going to the Junwu Empire?
Feng Wu took a deep breath. One more day of Princess Yan Ling’s life, and hundreds of teenage girls would die. Her life would be a sin! Yuexin was about to leave when Feng Wu jumped off the roof.
She struck down with her hand.
Yuexin fell to the ground.
Inside, Princess Yan Ling didn’t notice anything. She said coldly, “What kind of a place is this? There’s so little spiritual essence in the blood, which has kept me from reaching the Spiritual Saint stage.
“But my father wouldn’t allow me to practice this amazing skill in Dayan, saying that it’s unorthodox. That was why I had to come here.
“Do they think I like to stay here? Feng Wu, just wait and see! You were the first person to humiliate me!
“Who do you think you are? How dare you fight me? You’re going to die a miserable death!
“Do you know…”
Princess Yan Ling was still venting her frustration when she noticed a figure behind her.
“You!”
When Princess Yan Ling turned around, Feng Wu sprinkled the truth serum at her face, and the princess immediately fell into a trance-like state. Feng Wu threw a dirty look at her and cut to the chase. “What’s your name?”
“Yan Ling.”
“Where are you now?”
“The Dongsang Kingdom…” “Why did you come from Dayan to the Dongsang Kingdom?”
“The blood… cultivation… destroy…”
Something inside Princess Yan Ling seemed to be acting up, stopping her from talking.
“Destroy what?” Feng Wu added more truth serum.
Ordinary people would have turned into idiots by now, but Princess Yan Ling wasn’t just anyone. She could withstand a lot of truth serum.
Even so, it was still too much.
“Destroy the Junwu Empire… All of them…”
Gritting her teeth, Feng Wu crouched down and asked again, “Why do you have to kill everyone in the Junwu Empire?!”
“Because… because… it hurts…
Princess Yan Ling buried her head in her hands and rolled around in the bathtub in pain.
Feng Wu noticed that Princess Yan Ling was giving off blood-red light.
Her face, her arms, and her legs looked like they were going to explode at any moment!
Feng Wu was utterly confused. She had no idea what was going on.
“I can’t tell you… It’s a curse… I can’t tell you…” Princess Yan Ling gritted her teeth.
Feng Wu sprinkled the truth serum on Princess Yan Ling’s face again.
She asked again, “Why do you want to kill everyone in the Junwu Empire?
Why?!”
“Because… because Grandpa Ma said… because the altar… turn it into an altar… Ah!” Princess Yanling screamed and fainted.
Feng Wu was lost in her thoughts.
An altar?
What altar?
Feng Wu couldn’t figure it out for the time being, but she decided to ask her sixth or fifth senior brother when she got back. Mavbe thev would know.
As for Princess Yan Ling… Feng Wu hoped that she hadn’t been turned into an idiot.
Feng Wu pulled a sheet over, wrapped it around Princess Yan Ling, and dashed off.
Princess Yan Ling used to be guarded by two top Spiritual Saints, but one of them had left for another country. Ma Quanquan, on the other hand, had been sent away by Princess Yan Ling, which was why Feng Wu could succeed.
Carrying Princess Yan Ling over her shoulder, Feng Wu left the courtyard and headed for the address Lord Jing gave her. It was the second prince’s private residence. 35th Court, Donggu Avenue.
Feng Wu saw that Jing Bao was there to pick her up.
“You’re amazing.” Seeing that Feng Wu had brought Princess Yan Ling back, Jing Bao looked at her in excitement. “I thought you wouldn’t even be able to make it.”
Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “It took me a lot of effort. You’ll be on your own from now on.”
Jing Bao nodded. “Don’t worry. Lord Jing has left instructions. I know what to
“
Feng Wu left as soon as she could, for she had to stay there while Princess Yan Ling was away, so that no one would notice.
Feng Wu didn’t know what Lord Jing did, but she knew that he wouldn’t let her down..
