Nian Shutong walked into the Imperial Palace openly; this was her first ti entering the palace.
anwhile, the Star Network was buzzing with activity.
[The Crown Prince...no, the Emperor is ill?]
[Getting sick is normal, but we just don’t know how serious it is.]
[It must be serious; they’re searching for a Divine Doctor all over the Star Network.]
[I don’t know why, but I feel as if there’s a storm brewing in the interstellar space.]
[I have that feeling too, like there are all sorts of inexplicable things happening.]
[No way, right? Although we’re at war with the Insect Race, haven’t the results always been good?]
[Who knows, we’re just ordinary people, we can’t change anything, just better to obey.]
[Yeah, if sothing happens, the people above will deal with it, they’ll figure sothing out.]
[Is there any renowned Ancient dicine Doctor? We should check.]
[Yes, the current Emperor, the forr Crown Prince, has worked diligently over the years and done quite a bit.]
The discussions on the Star Network continued, and this piece of news just happened to overshadow Wu Yi’s death, not even causing a ripple, largely due to Fu Yunhe’s control.
In the Insect Clan Battlefield, it was fairly easy for Fu Yunhe to arrange for Wu Yi’s death.
Wu Yi never expected he would actually die at the hands of the Insects, wasn’t there supposed to be protection for him on the battlefield? How did an insect claw crush his heart?
In his final monts, Wu Yi still couldn’t understand, or rather, could the Wu Family’s plan really succeed?
But alas, he had no more chances.
Fu Yunhe actually didn’t do much, he just exterminated the Insects originally waiting at the battlefield, replaced them with a new batch, and Wu Yi was sent to exterminate the Insects. He thought that with the Wu Family’s agreent with the Insects, no Insect would kill him, so he fought carelessly.
Until an Insect claw pierced through his chest from the ground, rcilessly crushing his heart. In that mont, he suddenly realized that the Wu Family was really courting disaster.
He regretted it, but it was all too late.
Fu Yunhe felt no guilt over Wu Yi’s death, because due to this person, an entire legion perished with no survivors.
He even regretted not killing him sooner.
Fu Yunhe remained on the battlefield; lately, the Insect Clan Battlefield had seen an overwhelming number of Insects, and the constant warfare kept him there.
Nian Shutong inford him that this was a tactic by the Wu Family to seize power in Zone 1.
After discussing, it was clear Fu Yunhe could not leave the battlefield. Though they didn’t know what agreent the Wu Family had reached with the Insects, he couldn’t trust them. If he withdrew, the Insects would surely invade human residential areas.
There were too many people there, incapable of even self-defense.
Nian Shutong had no intention of bringing Fu Yunhe back; instead, she instructed him to remain at the Insect border, entrusting Zone 1’s issues to her.
After their discussion, arrangents were made with personnel. Aunt i headed towards Zone 1 again to continue collaborating with Hua Yuan.
Lin Mu stayed on Blue Star, while Hua Rong, with the Twelve Zodiac Beasts, was advancing towards Zone 1, ready to assist at any ti.
At that mont, Nian Shutong had already reached the main hall of the Imperial Palace. She saw the puppet Crown Prince, currently sitting in the Emperor’s spot, with the Wu Family Ancestor by his side.
"Nian Lan Star Lord, long ti no see."
"Long ti? I heard that soone missed , calling my na at their own doorstep." Nian Shutong spoke while shaking her head with feigned trouble.
"Old Wu, let tell you, at your age, you shouldn’t have so many ideas. I’m a married woman, and my husband’s so handso that I wouldn’t even think of straying."
Above, the Wu Family Ancestor’s nostrils flared with anger. He really wanted to tear apart Nian Shutong’s mouth; she really dared to say anything.
"Nian Lan Star Lord, please mind your words. Calling you here today is for the Emperor’s treatnt."
"I wasn’t aware that Nian Lan Star Lord was also skilled in dicine?"
Nian Shutong modestly waved her hand and said, "It’s nothing, just a little knowledge."
"But everyone should know, my apprentice Lian Qing was supposed to die, but I saved him, so my dical skills are just like that."
Speaking with modesty in a tone that lacked it, the Wu Family Ancestor chose not to argue further, directly taking Nian Shutong to the Emperor’s chamber.
A group followed behind, including Dou Dou.
Nian Shutong saw the impersonator of Dou Dou. Honestly, anyone familiar with Dou Dou would have realized that this child wasn’t Dou Dou.
Besides their appearance being identical, there was nothing else alike.
But seeing the officials following behind, Nian Shutong realized the Wu Family likely controlled the court, right?
Indeed, if they couldn’t even do that, how could they dare collaborate with the Insects?
It’s just unknown whether these officials knew that the Wu Family they chose collaborated with the Insects.
Nian Shutong smirked inwardly; they probably didn’t know.
After about half an hour, Nian Shutong finally reached the Emperor’s chamber. The Wu Family Ancestor personally led her in, just the two of them.
Once they entered, Nian Shutong imdiately knew an Array was set up here. She wasn’t afraid at all; instead, she picked out a chair and sat down comfortably.
"I wonder, what does an old geezer like you want to say to ?"
"You insolent child!"
The Wu Family Ancestor struck with a palm, but Nian Shutong didn’t move, matching palm to palm, with both of them stepping back a ter, evenly matched in strength.
"Wanna go again?"
With a boss-like deanor, Nian Shutong sat in the chair, prompting the Wu Family Ancestor to simply summon a chair with a palm and sit across from her.
"You’re strong, young age, impressive talent."
"I know I’m aweso."
Nian Shutong’s smug expression made the Wu Family Ancestor shake his head.
"Who gave you your Cultivation Technique?"
"Who gave you yours?"
Nian Shutong deflected without answering, and naturally, the Wu Family Ancestor wouldn’t respond. But Nian Shutong realized her question was right; soone did provide it, which ans there might still be Cultivators in this world?
"Going against the Wu Family has no benefit. We don’t aim to destroy humanity, just a little cleansing. Wouldn’t you be more content being the Blue Star Lord?"
"Cleansing? That’s such a noble excuse. If a cleansing is necessary, the Wu Family should be first in line. Why don’t you die now to placate the heavens?"
"Hmph! Ungrateful creature."
Without another word, the Wu Family Ancestor pointed to the bed where the Crown Prince lay and said, "Please, Blue Star Lord, take a look."
"Why look? He seems well asleep."
