They had all come here in search of the glaring red light and were certain that the Phoenixis Maiden was hiding somewhere in the Forest of Death.

”state advisor, are you sure that Phoenixis Maiden will definitely appear?”

The head disciple of the Cyan City Sect, Gu Guiyun, looked at the lifeless forest, which occasionally emitted a chilling air, and asked nervously.

Today, he was entrusted by the disciples of the sect to find the Phoenixis Maiden s and take revenge on his sect.

Just as he arrived at the Xi Liang Capital, he heard that state advisor had calculated that the Phoenixis Maiden would definitely appear in the Forest of Death today, so he followed the numerous martial artists and headed towards the Forest of Death.

Just now, he clearly saw a blinding light shooting out from the sky. If he guessed correctly, it should be the Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead that had been awakened.

The Phoenixis Maiden must be hiding in the Forest of Death.

However, after wandering around the forest for several hours, they had searched through every nook and cranny of the forest, yet they hadn't found any traces.

The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the earth was scorching hot. The Forest of Death was even more suffocating.

They couldn't help but feel disheartened. Perhaps they were wrong.

”Brat, I, state advisor, have never failed before.”

Fu Lingtian's gloomy face swept across Gu Guiyun with a bit of dense, cold killing intent.

However, his hands couldn't help but tremble. A drop of blood flowed from his fingernails and onto the weeds.

Just now, the blood bead had shot straight into the clouds, and he had secretly been lucky enough to stop it.

It was terrible.

If not for him sneakily attacking a few shallow level disciples and absorbing their inner force to temporarily suppress the power of the blood bead, he would have died in the Forest of Death a long time ago.

”state advisor you …”

The Shaolin temple disciple standing beside him asked in a low voice as he looked at his trembling hands.

”It's fine, the snake poison can't do anything to me.”

Fu Lingtian pretended to be calm as he pressed on the acupoints on his arm, pretending to block the bloodline poison from entering his lungs.

Everyone looked at him doubtfully and continued to walk forward.

In the palace of the Xi Liang, Ye Shishuang looked at Situ Lan who was sitting on a short bed and leisurely drinking tea, disdain flashing past his eyes.

”Situ Lan, you're the dignified empress of the Eastern Region and are renowned throughout the world. You actually dared to poison Dong Aoqing with such audacity. I have truly underestimated you back then.”

Ye Shishuang began to cut off the thorn on the last rose.

”Ye Shishuang, am I following your example for this matter? ”Sigh, but in terms of ruthlessness, I am still not even a tenth of your strength. Otherwise, I would not have been suppressed by that old demonic woman from the east county and would have dared not to say anything. I would have come to you to complain.”

Situ Lan's eyes flashed with ice-cold hatred, as he ruthlessly pinched the cat in his hand, which was a bit whiter than snow. In a split second, the cat let out a painful cry and escaped from Situ Lan's hands.

She didn't think that Dong Aoqing would cripple her position as Empress for a single sentence from the empress dowager, so how could she agree?

After Ye Shishuang heard her words, his gaze tensed up. The rose in his hand suddenly snapped, and for a moment, it was stuck in her white fingers, dripping with fresh blood.

Scenes of the past appeared in her mind, playing over and over again.

”I don't know what you're talking about. If you have nothing else, you should hurry back! If Dong Aoqing was saved by some powerful being, then your plan would be ruined. ”

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he maintained his composure and chased Situ Lan away.

”Don't worry, it won't be easy to cure the poison that I administered. I have come here mainly for the Phoenixis Maiden's blood bead, and only by obtaining this item will I be able to help my son ascend to the throne. Then, I will be able to marry the destined Empress Shangguan Jingyan, there is no need to worry about being able to unify the world. ”

Situ Lan slowly stood up and walked over to Ye Shishuang to snatch the rose from her hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, the rose in her hand instantly turned black and fell to the ground. A black fog lingered on the rose for a long time.

Who would have thought that she was actually an orphan of the Southern Barbarian and knew of the long-lost art of charming death.

Ye Shishuang squinted his eyes as he looked at Situ Lan, as if he was going to see through her.

”Don't make such a fuss over nothing. If you don't have any tricks up your sleeve, how can you sit firmly on the throne of the Queen?” Just like you, if you do not use any methods, you think that Mo Nanxuan will tolerate your actions in the harem and be at your mercy. Do you think I would believe you? ”

Situ Lan scoffed, her long nails cutting across Ye Shishuang's face, her eyes filled with enchantment.

A hundred years ago, their Patriarch, along with the Holy Maiden, protected the Phoenixis Maiden, and they did not hesitate to charge in.

who would have thought that the Phoenixis Maiden would actually kill their clansmen so cruelly, and even make the Southern Barbarian Clan bear the guilt of thousands of years, making the people of the world continuously curse.
