"Is it true?"
Lord Jing was thrilled when he heard the news, and he stared at Feng Wu in disbelief.
Feng Wu nodded. "It's true. According to the princess, Senior Ma went to the front line and told her to stay in Donglin City for a while. She's not allowed to go anywhere."
Lord Jing paced back and forth in his room in excitement.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he went to see Leng Yexiao right away.
Leng Yexiao was cultivating. After cultivating the Divine Skill, Leng Yexiao's cultivation had increased tremendously. He had advanced from a Two-Star Martial Sage to a Four-Star Martial Sage.
"Ma Quanquan left?" Leng Yexiao rose to his feet in excitement.
Lord Jing nodded in excitement.
They exchanged looks, and Leng Yexiao said, "Ma Quanquan won't be gone for long. He'll be back within a day. This is our only chance."
Lord Jing nodded.
Leng Yexiao said, "Father has been trying to get the second prince to fight me. If that's the case, we'll put the blame on him."
Lord Jing asked, "Why don't we put the blame on His Majesty?"
Leng Yexiao said, "Father has too many capable cultivators around him. Even if all of you help him, he'll still be suppressed. There's no chance of winning, and he'll only suspect us. When he realizes what's going on, he'll strike back at me. So …"
Leng Yexiao's lips curled into a mocking smile, "We'll cripple his favorite Second Brother. Of course, if this matter were to break out, he would definitely be dragged into it. After all, it's his favorite Second Brother. Only by involving him in the Second Brother's matter will we be able to keep it a secret. "
Lord Jing nodded. "Good idea."
However, what they didn't know was …
Little Phoenix was recording their conversation with a Divine Transformation Stone.
Divine Transformation Stones were very rare. Feng Wu only had one before, but it had been used and couldn't be used again.
Luckily, they were in Dong Sang.
With the help of Dayan Dynasty, Dong Sang had advanced technology in the ancient era. Therefore, both Leng Yexiao and Lord Jing had several Divine Transformation Stones in their treasure vaults. The one Little Phoenix was holding was one that Feng Wu had found after she had robbed Lord Jing's treasure vault.
Lord Jing handed Feng Wu a piece of paper as soon as he returned.
Feng Wu opened it and saw an address.
East Ancient Street, Courtyard 35.
"Do you remember it?" Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu.
Despite her bewilderment, Feng Wu nodded earnestly. "I will."
Lord Jing stared at Feng Wu and said, "This is the second prince's private residence. After you kidnapped Princess Flame Spirit, you knocked her out, threw her into this residence, and …"
In front of King Jing, King Jing finally said, "Then you can leave. You don't need to do anything else."
Feng Wu could guess what Lord Jing was going to do, so she nodded seriously and said, "Okay."
As for Ma Quanquan's trip to the Junwu Empire … Feng Wu believed that as long as Master Linghu was in the imperial capital, no one would dare touch her family, so she wasn't worried.
While Feng Wu was on the move, Lord Jing wasn't going to sit back and do nothing.
Apart from Feng Wu and the other famous guards, he also had secret guards.
However, Feng Wu's strength was too outstanding, which was why he took the risk to kidnap Princess Flame Spirit. Otherwise, Lord Jing would have sent the secret guards.
Princess Flame Spirit's current residence was in the most luxurious part of the imperial capital apart from the imperial palace.
The emperor of Dongsang Kingdom had originally planned for her to live in the imperial palace, but Princess Flame Spirit didn't like the atmosphere there, so she had chosen an exquisite residence to stay in.
Rather than calling it a house, it would be more appropriate to call it a garden.
There were pavilions, terraces, and winding streams in the garden, which made for a very exquisite view.
Naturally, Lord Jing wouldn't send Feng Wu alone. He had also sent a team of secret guards to help Feng Wu deal with any possible trouble. They were here to support Feng Wu.
Feng Wu jumped into the residence and moved as swiftly as a raccoon. The guards on night duty didn't notice her at all.
Feng Wu's eyes lit up as soon as she jumped in. It turned out that there were formations all over the place.
Ma Quanquan must have set them up before he left to protect Princess Flame Spirit.
However, Ma Quanquan would never have dreamed that a formation master like her would come here.
It took Feng Wu five minutes to crack the formation. She then moved quickly, bypassed the formation, and arrived at a courtyard.
It was a two-story building built against a hillside. It was surrounded by lush green grass and trees, and the eaves were hidden among the trees.
Faint candlelight could be seen in the room.
This was the eye of the formation, which was the safest place, so Princess Flame Spirit had to live here.
Feng Wu couldn't help but relax when she reached the eye of the formation.
She knew very well that this was the safest place for Princess Flame Spirit, but for an intruder like her, it was the most dangerous place.
There were traps all over the place, waiting to harvest the intruder's head.
Holding her breath, Feng Wu cautiously went around the buttons that triggered the traps one after another …
All of a sudden, Feng Wu froze.
This was because when she avoided the button above her head, she stepped on something hard under her feet!
That was …
Feng Wu's stomach sank.
If her guess was right, she was stepping on the Dark Thunder of Dongsang, which would detonate as soon as she let go.
The detonation of Dark Thunder alone wouldn't be able to hurt her, but if all the traps in the area were triggered … Feng Wu would probably die here today.
Just then, she heard voices in the distance.
They sounded like two maidservants.
One was crying, and the other was trying to talk her out of it.
The crying one sobbed. "Princess, Princess Flame Spirit is so scary … I saw Xiaodie in front of her with my own eyes …"
The one trying to talk her out of it said, "Stop it. If word gets out, you'll lose your head!"
The crying one sobbed. "I don't care if I die. I don't want to live anymore. Dying is better than being skinned alive. Xiao Die is just a little slow in front of her, and her reply is a little slow … "
The one trying to talk her out of it said, "That's why we have to stay alert from now on. We can't afford to make any mistakes!"
The crying one said, "I don't know how long we can live."
Feng Wu could hear their voices getting closer and closer. They would be right in front of her soon, and then …
At this point, she had to take the risk.
Bending down, Feng Wu pressed her dagger against the Dark Thunder, then cautiously stepped to the side.
After that, Feng Wu crouched down and carefully dismantled the Dark Thunder again. When she was done, she hid in the shade of a tree and saw the two maidservants coming her way.
Feng Wu noticed that both maidservants were very pretty, and their skin was so delicate that it looked like water would come out of it if she pinched it.
Was this how Dongsang kept its people? Feng Wu thought to herself.
Feng Wu noticed that each of them was carrying a sack, as if they were discarding something big.
Only after they were gone did Feng Wu step out of the shadows and dash past them like a cat.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Wu had jumped onto the roof and was standing outside the window.
However, it was too conspicuous, so Feng Wu jumped onto the eaves and landed without making a sound.
It was eerily quiet.
She could hear the sound of the wind.
Feng Wu's nose twitched, for she had smelled blood, which seemed to be coming from inside the building.
Sniffing the air, Feng Wu soon located the spot where the smell of blood was the strongest. She then leaned over the eaves, lifted a roof tile, and looked down.
What Feng Wu saw was a shocking shade of red.
It was a blood-red color …
It was a bathtub.
The bathtub was supposed to be filled with water, but Feng Wu saw that it was blood-red.
It wasn't dyed red with dye.
Instead, the pool was filled with … blood.
Scarlet blood and a nauseating smell … However, Feng Wu saw that Princess Spirit Flame was the only one in the room. Right now, she was taking off her clothes, revealing her curvaceous figure and glowing skin.
That pair of slender legs was stepping into the blood pool one step at a time.
Feng Wu felt a chill run down her spine!
There was so much blood in the pool … It couldn't be filled with just one person's blood. Over a hundred people had to be there!
Princess Spirit Flame was bathing in the blood pool?!
Feng Wu watched as she lay in the pool, relaxed and satisfied. She even had a satisfied smile on her face.
At that moment, Feng Wu was truly astonished.
Did Princess Spirit Flame have to kill over a hundred people every day to fill the pool with blood so that she could bathe in it every day?
Why would she do that?
Soon, Feng Wu realized that all the blood in the pool had been absorbed by Princess Spirit Flame. The pool was spotless, and there wasn't a single trace of blood in it.
However, Princess Spirit Flame's cultivation level had increased after this round of cultivation!
Feng Wu noticed that she was about to break through to the Martial Saint stage.
Princess Spirit Flame said coldly, "From now on, double the amount of blood every day!"
A hesitant voice rang out. "Your Highness, Master Lei said that they're having a hard time finding young girls with spiritual essence … There are thousands of people here, and it's going to be difficult to gather all of them. However, we'll try our best to find them so that your cultivation won't be delayed."
Princess Spirit Flame smirked. "Yue Xin, you're an idiot. Why should we stop at Dongsang? Expand the scope and rob the other countries, especially the Junwu Empire. If someone like Feng Wu can be raised in the Junwu Empire, it must be a good country. Do we need to reason with them?! It's their honor to sacrifice their lives and blood for the people of Dayan Dynasty! The emperor of Dongsang will do it anyway, and we won't be blamed for it. Just go and find them! "
Yue Xin said, "… Yes."
Feng Wu drew in her breath.
Princess Spirit Flame had drained the blood of thousands of young girls?!
And she was going to look for them in the Junwu Empire?
Feng Wu took a deep breath. If Princess Spirit Flame lived another day, hundreds of young girls would lose their lives. It would be a sin for her to stay alive!
Yue Xin was about to leave, when Feng Wu jumped off the roof!
She chopped down with her hand!
Yue Xin collapsed to the ground.
Princess Spirit Flame didn't notice at all and said in a cold voice, "What a crappy place this is! There's so little spiritual essence in the blood that I haven't been able to break through.
"But my father didn't allow me to practice this martial art in Dayan Dynasty. He said that it was an evil method. That's why I had to come to this godforsaken place.
"Hmph, do you think I want to stay here? Feng Wu, just you wait and see when I become a Martial Saint! You're the first person to embarrass me!
"I'm not a princess, and you're not a princess! How dare you fight me? You'll die a horrible death!
"Do you know …"
Just as Princess Spirited Flame was venting her frustrations, she realized that a figure had appeared behind her.
"You!"
When Princess Spirited Flame turned around, Feng Wu splashed Truth Serum on her face, and the girl fell into a daze right away.
Feng Wu gave her a disgusted look and cut to the chase. "What's your name?"
"Flame Spirit."
"Where are you right now?"
"Dongsang …"
"Why did you come all the way from Dayan Dynasty to Dongsang?"
"Blood … Cultivation … Destroy … Destroy …"
There seemed to be a strong consciousness inside Princess Spirit Flame that was trying to stop her from talking.
"Destroy what?" Feng Wu put more pressure on the serum.
If this amount was used on a normal person, they would have long since become an idiot. However, Princess Flame Spirit's strength was not ordinary, so the amount of truth serum she could endure was not something a normal person could compare to.
Even so, it was still a little too much.
"Destroy … destroy … the … Junwu … Destroy … them … all …"
Gritting her teeth, Feng Wu crouched down and asked again, "Why do you want to destroy everyone in the Junwu Empire?!"
"Because … because … it hurts …"
Holding her head with both hands, Princess Spirit Flame rolled around in the bath.
Feng Wu noticed that Princess Spirit Flame was covered in a crimson glow.
Her veins were all over her face, body, arms, and legs, and they looked like they could explode at any moment!
Feng Wu was baffled. She had no idea what was going on.
"I can't tell you … it's a curse … I can't tell you …" Princess Spirit Flame couldn't stop gritting her teeth.
Feng Wu poured the serum on Princess Spirit Flame's face again.
She asked again, "Why do you want to destroy everyone in the Junwu Empire? Why?! "
"Because … Grandpa Ma said … because the sacrificial altar … can be made into a sacrificial altar … AHHH!" Princess Spirit Flame let out a miserable shriek as she passed out.
Feng Wu was lost in thought.
Altar?
What altar?
Feng Wu couldn't figure it out yet, but she decided to ask her sixth or fifth senior brother when she got back. Maybe they would know.
As for Princess Spirit Flame … she hoped that she hadn't turned into an idiot.
Feng Wu pulled the bedsheet over and wrapped Princess Flame Spirit up. She then left the room.
Princess Spirit Flame had been protected by two Martial Saints, but one of them had left for another country. Feng Wu had no idea what he was doing, and Ma Quanquan had been summoned by Princess Spirit Flame as well. That was why Feng Wu had taken Princess Spirit Flame away.
Carrying Princess Spirit Flame over her shoulder, Feng Wu headed for the address that Lord Jing had given her.
It was the second prince's private residence.
Yard 35 on Donggu Street.
Feng Wu saw Jing Bao waiting for her when she arrived.
"You're amazing." Seeing that Feng Wu had really taken Princess Spirit Flame away, Jing Bao looked at her in excitement. "I thought you wouldn't even make it."
Feng Wu smiled wryly. "It took me a lot of effort. It's up to you now."
Jing Bao nodded. "Don't worry. His Royal Highness told me to do it. I know what to do."
Feng Wu quickly left, because while Princess Flame Spirit wasn't here, she had to stay there in case someone found out that something was wrong.
Feng Wu didn't know how Lord Jing had done it, but she knew that he wouldn't let her down.
