Hence, Lord Jing told her how he and Leng Yexiao had worked together to make the emperor of Dongsang misunderstand Princess Spirited Flame, how they had borrowed Master Min, and how they had framed the Junwu Empire.
When Monarch Jing finished speaking, Princess Spirit Flame was in a state of shock.
"I can't believe it … I can't believe it …" Glaring at Lord Jing, Princess Spirited Flame gritted her teeth. "How dare you set me up! You deserve to die!"
Lord Jing smiled at Princess Spirited Flame. "My lord, if you're willing to bet, you have to be willing to admit defeat. Since you were the one who failed, why are you blaming others for being so cunning? Am I right? "
Lord Jing moved closer to Princess Spirited Flame as he spoke.
Seeing that things weren't looking good, Princess Spirited Flame turned to run.
But Lord Jing was prepared for that, so he made his move when Princess Spirited Flame was about to run! Thump!
Thump! Thump!
The sounds of the fierce battle rang out incessantly.
Princess Spirited Flame was already out of the building, but Lord Jing caught up with her again.
In just a short while, Princess Spirit Flame fell to the ground.
Thud!
Lord Jing sliced Princess Spirited Flame's throat with his sword!
Lying in a pool of blood, Princess Spirited Flame stared at Lord Jing with wide eyes …
Lord Jing smirked. Fearing that Princess Spirited Flame wasn't dead yet, he raised his sword again and plunged it into her heart!
"Urgh …" Blood gushed out of Princess Spirited Flame's mouth, and she trembled. In the end, she died.
But Lord Jing was still worried. He stared at Princess Spirited Flame, and only waved his hand when he sensed that she was no longer breathing. A ball of fire darted over Princess Spirited Flame.
Whoosh —
The fire spread, and Princess Spirited Flame was soon engulfed in flames.
"You're dead after all." Lord Jing stared at Princess Spirited Flame with a taunting look. "No one will know about this secret from now on. When my son ascends to the throne, you'll have died a worthy death. Rest in peace. "
Duke Jing's hand stepped over Princess Flame Spirit's corpse.
As he waved his hand, flames surged out of it.
Leng Yexiao had already killed all the servants in the courtyard that Princess Flame Spirit lived in. All Sovereign Jing needed to do was to set the place on fire and burn it all down.
Why did he do that?
That was to destroy the evidence.
Lord Jing didn't know how advanced Great Yan's ancient technology was, so he decided to burn everything just in case. That way, even if they wanted to investigate in the end, they would only be able to trace it back to Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu.
Before King Jing left his mansion, he purposely left a trace of blood in Princess Spirit Flame's room.
The divine blood of the Phoenix.
Dragon Phoenix Divine Blood.
The two drops of blood were so recognizable that Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu would never be able to escape.
After Lord Jing walked out of the mansion, there were raging flames behind him. The entire mansion was ablaze.
"Is everything settled?" Leng Yexiao looked at Lord Jing.
Lord Jing nodded. "We'll talk about it when we get back."
Leng Yexiao was still a little worried. "Have you released the blood? Are the strands of hair loose? Also, is Princess Spirit Flame really dead? Also … "
King Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've prepared everything."
Leng Yexiao looked at the raging fire and was relieved to know that Princess Flame Spirit was dead.
"Let's go, someone's coming."
Dragging Leng Yexiao with him, Lord Jing hurried back to the crown prince's residence.
However, they still couldn't calm down, for they had indeed done what they had to do. However, Ma Quanquan, who was with Princess Flame Spirit, was a formidable opponent. They could only hope that Master Min would help them.
"Don't worry. Master Min isn't the only one. Master Situ is here as well," Lord Jing told Leng Yexiao. "Both of them are His Majesty's most valued cultivators. With them working together, Ma Quanquan won't be able to walk out alive."
Leng Yexiao glanced at Lord Jing, then asked all of a sudden, "Isn't he your master? Aren't you sad at all? "
Lord Jing snorted. "He didn't have any good intentions from the moment he took me in as his disciple. He only wanted me to make things easier for him in Dongsang. Why would I care about someone like that?"
Meanwhile, in the princess's residence.
Lord Jing and the others all thought that Princess Flame Spirit was dead.
Indeed, Lord Jing had stabbed her several times and even burned Princess Flame Spirit with True Flame. How could she still be alive?
However, Lord Jing couldn't have foreseen that the girl hiding behind the scenes was sneaking out at the moment.
The spell formation that Countess Flame Spirit had set up actually had a hidden safety zone. That safety zone was … a hidden well.
Feng Wu had been hiding in this well when the fire broke out in the courtyard. Now, she was about to climb out of the well when she saw a ball of fire falling from the sky.
Ouch!
Feng Wu dodged to the side in a hurry, only to hear a splashing sound. A body on fire fell to the bottom of the well.
It was Princess Flame Spirit.
Even the water in the well couldn't put out the True Flame that Lord Jing had set on her, but Feng Wu quickly put out the flames.
However, by then, Princess Flame Spirit was already on the verge of death. She turned her head and saw someone. Under the moonlight, she recognized that it was …
"Xing Xiang … you're alive!" Princess Spirit Flame's face was filled with excitement. She wanted to grab her maidservant, but she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger right now.
Feng Wu pretended to be pleasantly surprised as well. "Your Highness, is that you? Why are you here? How … are you feeling? Are you in pain? "
Feng Wu spoke as if she cared about him very much.
But Princess Flame Spirit said, "Why … are you here?"
She had seen corpses all over the place on her way here. Almost everyone in the courtyard was dead, but one of them was still alive.
Feng Wu said in a sobbing tone, "I … I've always had a weak stomach, and it's the same this time. I had a stomachache in the middle of the night, so I went to the washroom, only to see people killing people and setting fire in the courtyard. I … I was scared, so I hid in the well and I've been there ever since."
Princess Flame Spirit took a deep breath. She knew that she was at her limit …
"Your Highness, don't worry. You'll be fine. I'll go get some medicine. I'll …" Feng Wu was a good actress. She still wanted to trick Princess Flame Spirit at the last moment.
Because in Feng Wu's eyes, as a half-step Godly level medicine master, Princess Spirited Flame was already beyond help. Forget about pills, even a half-step Godly level medicine master like her couldn't do anything. Princess Spirited Flame must know that herself.
"Don't —"
As expected, Princess Flame Spirit stopped Feng Wu, who was about to climb up. She said slowly, "I don't have much time. Remember what I'm going to say next."
Feng Wu agreed in tears.
Princess Flame Spirit said, "Lord Jing, Leng Yexiao, and Emperor Dongsang were the ones who killed me."
