Quite a number of people had already gathered in the passageway.
Among them were the palace guards and eunuchs, as well as the officials who had heard that the Emperor had been poisoned to death and had come to pay their respects!
To these people, the Imperial Advisor's words were the truth. If he had said that the woman would die, then she must die! In comparison, they could get to know the powerful cultivators of the Hundred Herb Hall and the Xia family!
So, as long as they could capture her, they could enjoy endless glory, splendor and wealth.
Even though Xia Yu felt that Lin Yue's words were shameless, he remembered how Gu Ruoyun had embarrassed him, so he did not expose him. Instead, he stared coldly at the figure under the cool breeze.
"I swear on the name of the Xia family that Lin Yue's words are the truth. The Xia family will promise countless benefits to anyone who can capture that woman!"
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, the crowd rubbed their fists and stared greedily at Gu Ruoyun's face.
"Roar!"
Baobao let out a low growl and swept her cruel gaze across the crowd who were about to step forward. Her eyes flashed with a threatening light.
A Martial King spiritual beast could indeed pose a great threat to them. But when they thought of the pills and the promise that they could easily obtain, the crowd took two steps back before stepping forward again.
Greed can make people forget about fear.
To them, since the Imperial Advisor had already predicted their fate, it meant that they would not be in any danger. On the contrary, the one who would die would be this young girl! Since that was the case, why should they retreat?
"Hahaha!"
Lin Yue burst into laughter at the sight of this. His eyes were malevolent and sinister as he stared coldly at the beautiful figure under the cool breeze.
"Damned girl, do you still remember the words of my prophecy? Your entire family will be dragged down by you and die a horrible death! Only you will survive and be sold to someone else as a concubine. You will live the rest of your life in bitter struggle! Very soon, this prophecy will come true. So what if you have the General's protection? So what if you have a Martial King spiritual beast? Can you still fight against the two giants, the Hundred Herb Hall and the Xia family? "
Die?
That would be too easy for this girl!
Since she dared to risk her life to help that good-for-nothing Pang Ran, she must pay the price! And in order to prove to everyone how accurate his prophecy was, this woman must be sold to someone else as a concubine!
Hadn't he been doing this all these years?
From the very beginning, in order to make himself a living immortal-like figure, he would always predict the future for others, and then secretly change that person to be exactly the same as his prediction. He even secretly wiped out a few families for this! Even if those people were innocent, so what? For his position, those people had died a worthy death!
Sure enough, after he had done all this, he became the revered Imperial Advisor of Black Tortoise Country, because his prophecies had never been wrong!
Lin Yue let out a hideous grin, as if he could already see Gu Ruoyun's miserable face, while he was still the Imperial Advisor, who stood high above the masses, receiving the respect and worship of the world.
"Are you sure Hundred Herb Hall will attack me?"
While Lin Yue was lost in his thoughts, a chuckle suddenly sounded out, which made his heart skip a beat. However, he quickly regained his senses, sneered and said: "Of course!"
"Really?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently and stroked her chin with her finger, "But I've never known the Hundred Herb Hall to listen to your orders. Could it be that the Hundred Herb Hall belongs to you?"
