Phoenix Returns - C42

After Shao Xie heard what was said, he looked at the lion and fox that were sucking the blood on the ground and retreated in fright. However, behind them was a hard stone wall.

“What do you want?”

Chu Shiyu sneered, “What do you want? Of course it’s to save the King of Myriad Gods. To help him win the position of the Lord of Storage in his southern neighbor.”

She snapped a finger to Huo Li Lion, then saw Huo Li Lion and the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox quickly dash towards Shao Xie and bite his arm. Shao Xie was so scared that he fainted, then she let Huo Li Lion slowly leave the broken temple with its mouth.

At this time, Yu Wuyou, who had already been infected by the Gu poison for three days, was being chased by the guards of the Shao family. They had dived into the forest outside the city.

Because of the flare-up of the Gu poison, he did not have the ability to fight. As long as he used his techniques, the Gu poison would worsen, corroding his limbs and making him suffer unspeakably, suffering a fate worse than death.

In the past, he could still use medicine to suppress the eruption of the Gu poison. Even though he couldn’t be lucky, at least he would be able to lie down quietly for a few days and recover right after.

However, in the past three days, he had been fleeing for his life. There was no time for him to rest at all.

In the forest, Yu Wuyou dragged his exhausted body to a cave and stopped, slowly resting on the stone wall.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of pursuers’ footsteps coming from outside the cave. Yu Wuyou continued to walk deeper into the cave with his tired body, but when he moved, an intense pain hit him, causing him to be half-kneeling on the ground.

At this point, the pursuers had already found the cave and entered it, surrounding Yu Wuyou.

The dozen black clothed men all wore masks. Upon seeing Yu Wuyou, they all nodded their heads and thrusted their swords at him.

“Howl …” A wild howl suddenly rang out!

The black clothed man had just turned around when he saw a blood-red lion pouncing towards him. It instantly bit off the arm of one of the black clothed men.

The Fiery Lion leapt to Yu Wuyou’s side and roared at the man in black, scaring the men in black out of their wits.

After retreating a few steps, the black-clothed man looked at each other. At this moment, they had not forgotten that they were deathsworn and would not give up until they had achieved their goal.

The black-clothed man wielded his sword and said the word ‘kill’ before the crowd swarmed forward with his sword.

Huo Li Shi protected Yu Wuyou behind him, and spat a ball of fire at everyone before retreating the black robed man out of the cave.

Soon after, Chu Shiyu rushed to the cave entrance and saw a group of men in black being chased out of the cave by the Fiery Lion. Only then did he kill a dozen or so men in black outside the cave.

Returning to the cave, Yu Wuyou was covered in wounds as he leaned against the stone wall with bloodstains all over. His eyes were bloodshot. His whole body was burning, and his forehead was beaded with sweat.

“Yu Wuyou …”

Her heart ached as she pulled Yu Wuyou into her embrace, she was just a step away from seeing a corpse.

When Yu Wuyou saw her again, he looked away, not wanting to let her see his sorry state. However, he could not escape, and his body could not move.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have left you behind, I’m sorry …” The voice was hoarse as it spoke!

Her eyes were red, and suddenly there was a stream of acid between her nostrils, and tears fell in a flash.

High above in the sky above the city, a patch of red clouds reflected in the sky. Zhan You had already awoken and discovered that Shao had tampered with his food and had already suppressed the Shao Family to a standstill.

The Empress Shao Liusu knelt in the great hall. Her phoenix coronet had already been removed, and she was lying on her stomach barefooted, waiting to receive any response.

Zhan You threw a stack of papers onto Shao Liusu’s body and said angrily, “Your Shao Family has already obtained the supreme honor. You’re still restless. You actually dare to attack me. Are you tired of living?”

Shao Liusu slowly raised her head and said in an unconvinced manner, “Your Majesty gave the Shao Family the supreme authority, but at the same time, you’ve been afraid of them for a long time right? Because the Shao family’s influence had always threatened His Majesty, His Majesty was not at ease. He had carefully tolerated it for so many years because he wanted to pull out the Shao family one day. “In your heart, that high and mighty position was actually left to her and that vile spawn, and now that that vile spawn is back, it just so happens to be what His Majesty wants, so if I don’t make a move, the first one to make a move will be you, Your Majesty. In order to protect the Shao Family, in order to protect Tian’er’s position as crown prince, how would it be wrong for me to make a move?”

“Shut your mouth for me, haven’t you done enough dirty work yourself? Did your Shao Clan not do anything that would let me down? I won’t say that I’m just thinking about husband and wife and tolerating you only because the Shao family has rendered meritorious services for protecting the country. However, nothing you say is of any use now. We can tolerate your willfulness, but we can’t tolerate you attacking us. Force the palace to ascend the throne.

After Zhan You finished speaking, he raised his head and smiled bitterly. The Shao family’s influence was too great, and most of the court was led by the Shao family. Without full confidence, he didn’t dare to do anything to the Shao family.

Even though he had not dared to make a move all these years, it did not mean that he could tolerate their actions.

Mentor Yu Wuyou supported him as they stood outside the hall. They could clearly hear the voices of Zhan You and Shao Liusu arguing within the hall.

That was before Chu Shiyu had found Yu Wuyou, he had already removed the Battle Netherworld from the control of the Shao Family, collected all of the Shao Family’s crimes over the years, and presented them to the Battle Netherworld along with Shao Xie and his crimes.

Originally, the Battle of the Netherworld had the intent to kill on the Shao Family’s side, and with the crimes that Chu Shiyu had collected, the Shao Family’s crimes could be publicly decided.

Yu Wuyou didn’t go into the main hall to testify against Lady Shao, but turned around and walked along the corridor of the palace wall all the way to the imperial harem.

He knew that just based on these crimes, it was sufficient to execute the entire Shao Clan, and if he were to mention what happened to his mother again, it would cause the dead to be unable to calm down.

Because that part of the past was too unbearable to look back on!

The Gu poison in Chu Shiyao’s body would erupt again, and he would not be a step away from her. Even if he knew that he was feeling very sad, he would still closely follow behind her.

Yu Wuyou stopped in front of a palace, the signboard at the entrance was personally written by his father for his mother, the three words on the door were ‘Hall of Flowers’. He raised his head and gazed at the palace for a long time. This was the place where his mother used to live, and he too had been depressed for five years.

She thought back to when her father and mother were in the Resurrection Lily City. She loved them so much that the world would be envious of her.

Ever since royal father brought them back to the palace, royal father rarely came to accompany him and his mother. He would only occasionally come to visit them at the beginning and in the following years, royal father almost never collapsed into this luxurious palace again.

Yu Wuyou suddenly felt a pain coming from his chest. He held onto his chest, and his painful expression turned to the wall.

“Seeing this, Master Chu rushed forward to support him.” What’s wrong, is the insect poison going to act up again? ”

He raised his head and laughed maniacally, his laughter full of hurt.

“I’m not fit to be a son. My mother died miserably, but I can’t kill her myself. My mother isn’t feeling well in the Underworld!”

After saying that, Yu Wuyou’s tightly clenched fist struck the stone pillar, breaking his finger, causing him to bleed.

But he didn’t feel the slightest bit of pain, and Chu Shiyu didn’t know how to comfort him. Perhaps letting him vent a bit would be a bit better.

“Who said you can’t kill your enemy? Right now, your royal father is already extremely disgusted with the Shao family. What he wants is to strip away the Shao family’s influence, but he doesn’t care about how they die, right? “Come with me.”

Master Chu held onto Yu Wuyou’s hand and walked out of the palace.
