Chapter 1710: Chapter 1710: Impossible to Still Be Alive
But when you think about it, who would knowingly offend these untouchable people unless they were out of their mind?
Now they’ve even gone so far as to attempt to assassinate An Jiuyue.
“Prince Zhan, King Qian, we had no knowledge of Gu Qingyu’s actions. We beseech you to see the truth,” he immediately raised his head, looking towards Zhan Beiye and Qian Jiyun, explaining.
He really hoped they wouldn’t let this blame fall on them; they couldn’t bear it.
Behind them stood not only people from the Qingyun Sect but also their own families. If their families suffered because of the disgusting things Gu Qingyu had done, they would be filled with irreparable regret.
“Even if you were unaware, leave now!”
Zhan Beiye’s eyes swept coldly over the two, irritation evident in his gaze.
This Qingyun Sect really was spoiled by one bad apple. Today, by killing Gu Qingyu, the pest, they had cleaned house for Qingyun Sect.
Xuanyuan Zimo and Senior Brother Sun, upon hearing his words, said their goodbyes and then turned to leave, not giving Gu Qingyu another glance.
“Senior Brother Sun, Xuanyuan Zimo, come back, come back!” Gu Qingyu watched the two leave, completely ignoring her, her eyes filled with despair.
“You… ”
Turning her head, she looked at Qian Jiyun, just as she was about to plead for herself, her neck was seized by an invisible force.
Qian Jiyun’s eyes were extremely somber, and without another word, he simply strangled Gu Qingyu to death. Then he bent down, picked up An Jiuyue, and went to another room.
The room where medicinal pills had been refined was a mess because of the fight between An Jiuyue and Gu Qingyu; even the door was gone.
…
“What did you say, what did Gu Qingyu do again?”
After Xuanyuan Zimo recounted the events concerning Gu Qingyu, all the senior brothers who were discussing how to rescue people were stunned, and one couldn’t believe it and asked.
“Kill… she, she… she actually wanted to kill An Jiuyue, is she insane?” Another senior brother took a while before he could react, cursing involuntarily.
Did she think An Jiuyue was as vulnerable as her, and could be killed whenever she wished?
Moreover, she didn’t think about it—if she really had succeeded, would any of them be alive to go back? Wouldn’t they all die in the Zhedu Sea Area?
“How is she now?” Brother Zhen remained silent for a long while before asking.
“How could she still be alive?” Senior Brother Sun said, lips curling with helplessness.
After this incident, how could those people let Gu Qingyu off the hook? If it were them, they wouldn’t let go of someone who tried to kill them either; they would certainly strike first to gain the upper hand.
Furthermore, it wasn’t only about trying to kill An Jiuyue; Gu Qingyu had also attempted to cast Worm Gu on Xiang Qiyan before.
“I’m not asking about her, how is the Princess Consort of the Second Rank doing? Is she injured?” Brother Zhen asked again.
At this time, who would have time to care whether Gu Qingyu was dead or alive? Her fate had already been sealed; she could only live if Qian Jiyun and his people all vanished.
“I saw that her arm was wounded,” Senior Brother Sun recalled.
He saw blood, her hands were full of it; surely it was from Gu Qingyu’s doing?
“The injury is secondary.”
However, Xuanyuan Zimo thought that those minor injuries would hardly be of importance to An Jiuyue; what really mattered was…
“I heard the Princess Consort say her pill-refining furnace exploded,” she said gravely.
All the senior brothers: “!!!”
Anyone could guess for whom An Jiuyue was refining medicinal pills; it was for the ailing King Yan.
