Trample Turing Duo!_2 886: 417: Suo Lun’s Poisonous Plot!
Trample Turing Duo!_2 Zhi Yan, even with Suo Lun’s support, ascended to the throne, but as a queen, it was difficult for other nations to acknowledge her.
Zhi Li established an exiled governnt in the Fla Empire, resolutely denying the legitimacy of Zhi Yan’s claim to the throne.
Dragon Temple always obstinately adhered to tradition, so Zhi Yan, being a woman on the throne, would certainly not gain the support of the Dragon Temple.
Without the protection of the Dragon Temple, the Fla Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom would undoubtedly seize the opportunity of Rage Wave Kingdom’s weakness to plunder it, and Zhi Li just happened to encourage both countries to send troops to Rage Wave Kingdom.
After a series of civil wars, Rage Wave Kingdom was surely no match for the Xiliang Kingdom and the Fla Empire and was destined to face annihilation.
At that ti, Zhi Li’s opportunity would co.
He could completely stage a king’s return, negotiate a ceasefire with the Fla Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom.
He would salvage Rage Wave Kingdom from disaster, and of course, he would have to cede many of the kingdom’s interests, but at least Rage Wave Kingdom would be preserved, wouldn’t it?
By then, Zhi Yan’s downfall would be a foregone conclusion, and Zhi Li would be the undeniable choice for King of Nu Wave.
Of course, he would inevitably beco a puppet of the Fla Empire by then, but he would still be a sovereign king!
If he followed Turing Duo’s thod, assassinate the king, and then forcefully take the throne.
Although satisfying, it would be like walking on the edge of a knife, a narrow escape from death.
Seeing Zhi Li’s expression, Turing Duo could almost guess what he was thinking.
He really didn’t want to take that dangerous path; he wanted to flee to the Fla Empire and beco a puppet there.
Imdiately, Turing Duo’s heart filled with contempt for Zhi Li.
At the most crucial mont, this man was still so cowardly about his own life.
“Your Highness, even if you want to flee back to the Fla Empire, there’s no hope for you now,” Turing Duo said, her voice cooling.
Zhi Li snapped angrily, “What do you an?”
Turing Duo replied, “Suo Lun won’t give you a chance.
My father would definitely offer the biggest bargaining chip in exchange for safeguarding his wealth and splendor.”
Zhi Li instinctively felt a huge danger and his hairs stood on end.
“Your Highness, the Demon Blood within you is the greatest secret, known by very few.
Unfortunately, my father is one of those who knows,” Turing Duo said.
Zhi Li’s face turned pale, he hissed, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
This matter, only Fang Qingshu, Fang Qingzhuo, and Li Chenglian knew, Turing Duo was unaware, and his forr confidante, Jian Liu, did not know either.
When he had been intimate with Turing Duo, he had been extrely careful and had not revealed the terrifying aspects of the Demon Bloodline.
Moreover, in the eyes of many, even if Zhi Li’s virility had been severed, it was entirely possible for it to recover after being reattached, as there were not a few such precedents before.
This was an absolute secret.
Why would Turing Tuo know about it?
Imdiately after, Zhi Li grabbed Turing Duo’s neck fiercely, his voice cold, “Tell , are you guessing?
You don’t know at all, your father doesn’t know either!”
If she couldn’t explain herself, Zhi Li was ready to kill to keep the secret.
Turing Duo, whose neck was being gripped, suddenly turned red-faced, gasping for breath, her tongue sticking out in agony.
“Speak!” Zhi Li demanded coldly, then released her neck.
After catching her breath, Turing Duo coughed violently, gasping for air, and then said in a hoarse voice, “One night, my sister, Turing Mo, beca very excited being with you and accidentally scratched open your back with her fingernails.
She was worried you’d be angry, so she cautiously examined the wound, only to find it rapidly disappearing, healing in just a few seconds as if it never happened.
She didn’t dare to make a fuss, thinking she was seeing things.
When she went back to her mother’s house, she cautiously revealed this to my mother, and my mother told my father.”
Zhi Li closed his eyes in agony.
He had never imagined that such a detail would betray his Demon Blood.
Ever since he had planted the Demon Bloodline, Zhi Li had beco numb to physical pain.
The minor agony of a scratched back was sothing he couldn’t feel at all.
That was why he hadn’t noticed when Turing Mo scratched his back.
Otherwise, given his suspicious and cautious nature, he would never have overlooked this detail.
Turing Duo said, “After my father learned of the secret of your Demon Blood, he took it as the ultimate weapon to blackmail you.
Now that he is negotiating with Suo Lun, he will certainly use this secret as a bargaining chip.
Once Suo Lun learns of this secret, he will undoubtedly expose it to the world.
Even if you flee to the Fla Empire, you’ll be dood to die.
Where could you possibly find the opportunity to rise again?”
Zhi Li’s entire body trembled!
Turing Duo was right.
The blood of demons was the power against the Dragon, a great sin against Dragon faith.
Yan Nai’er possessed Demon Blood yet had not died because the Dragon Temple wanted to use her to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor, thus the sky priest granted her a protective amulet.
But for Zhi Li, a crown prince, to have planted Demon Blood, the consequences were too severe.
He was bound to die.
The Dragon Temple would aim to execute him at the first chance.
By then, forget about any revival; even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he would be certain to die.
Turing Duo said, “My father is greedy and would not hand over such leverage without substantial gain.
So, Suo Lun surely doesn’t know this secret yet.
You still have ti!
If you assassinate the King and seize the throne by force, my father will certainly turn fence-sitter again.
Then, the secret will be safe!”
Zhi Li said, “Doesn’t that an I will be coerced by your Turing Clan for the rest of my life?”
Turing Duo said, “After all, that’s a matter for the future.
What does my father want?
Nothing more than power and riches, and he does have so restraint.”
Zhi Li slumped into the chair, closing his eyes in imnse pain.
His most vital weakness had been seized, just as Turing Duo had said; the path to the Fla Empire was cut off!
Turing Duo said, “Your Highness, you have no choice left.
The only option laid out before you is one: assassinate the King, take Suo Lun’s son hostage, and forcefully ascend to the throne.
That is truly surviving after being driven to death!”
But this path was perilous, a matter of life and death!
“Your Highness, you don’t have much ti left,” Turing Duo said.
“My father could strike a deal with Suo Lun at any mont.
You must act quickly, or you are dood!”
Turing Duo’s voice had lost so respect and turned icy cold.
“Ah…
Ah…
Ah…” Zhi Li roared in rage, suddenly seizing Turing Duo by the neck, and scread, “I’ll kill you, you whore!
I’ll kill you, you whore!”
Instantly, Turing Duo’s body was lifted into the air, suspended by Zhi Li’s grasp.
“Err…
Err…” Turing Duo struggled to breathe with her neck being choked, her beautiful face twisted in pain.
However, at that mont, Turing Duo didn’t struggle.
Instead, she stared at Zhi Li with bloodshot eyes, filled with sarcasm.
Zhi Li growled, “Fine, I’ve decided.
To survive after being driven to death!
Kill that old coot Zhi Bian and forcefully seize the throne!”
Turing Duo turned excitedly, kissed Zhi Li, and said, “That’s the wisdom and valor of my Prince.
Rember to take Suo Lun’s son as a hostage first.
It’d be best to send him sothing like a severed finger, so that even if he finds out anything, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly!”
Having made the final decision, ti beca incredibly pressing.
Four hours later, Zhi Li led his n to set out overnight, heading back to Wangcheng Zidu!
Since it was about surviving after being driven to death, he must be utterly ruthless!
To assassinate the King—he could only succeed, not fail!
