Baoxiang Kingdom, outside the Heavenly Concubine Temple.
The Imperial Preceptor brought dozens of believers to block the entrance. Each of them had a torch in their hands. They had been brainwashed by the Imperial Preceptor to think that the patients in the Heavenly Concubine Temple were sinners and should be punished. Only by burning these people to death would their Kingdom of Bao Xiang recover.
The Grand Preceptor looked at Ye Zhen with a sinister gaze. If he knew that this woman could really cure King Dai Luo, he would not have stopped them, saving them a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, are you going to believe this demoness of unknown origin? A calamity is about to befall Baoxiang Kingdom. If we don't burn the sinners to death, we will all be implicated. When that happens, Baoxiang Kingdom will be barren. Is this what you want? " The Grand Preceptor turned his gaze to Dai Luo. This immature kid was not worthy of being Baoxiang Kingdom's king. All these years, if not for him helping the mother and son, how could Dai Luo King sit on the throne so stably?
The Dai Luo King said coldly, "The demoness you mentioned woke me up. She can cure my illness and the illnesses of the people inside. Can you do the same? Killing is not the way to save them. "
The Grand Preceptor smiled sinisterly, "Your Majesty, what you see now is only a maze. They are not sick, but punishment from the gods."
"Old faker, you said they are punishment from the gods. If they recover, then it won't be punishment anymore, right?" The more Ye Zhen looked at him, the more she felt that the old faker was sick. Who did he think he was to be punished by the gods?
"Are they better?" The Grand Preceptor asked.
Ye Zhen looked at the believers behind him with a smile and asked Aphro to translate for her, "You have been protected by Dai Luo King for generations. Now that you want to burn the sick, do you want to burn your king as well?"
The Grand Preceptor's eyes flashed fiercely. He knew very well that the people of Baoxiang Kingdom were deeply loyal to Dai Luo King. He had gone through so much trouble to make them trust him completely. If not for so many people falling sick this time, he would not have been able to find an excuse to make them trust him completely.
"Only by burning those sinners can our king be saved!" A believer shouted.
"Is that so?" The smile on Ye Zhen's mouth became more obvious. "Do you know why your king woke up before you burned him to death?"
Those believers looked at each other in dismay. Yes, the King now looked … very well. He was not dying as the Grand Tutor had said.
The State Preceptor wanted to scold Ye Zhen, but he heard Ye Zhen's sweet voice asking, "Do you know where this place is?"
"The Heavenly Concubine Temple," someone replied.
"Yes, this is the Heavenly Concubine Temple. The Heavenly Concubine is watching your every move. The Kingdom of Bao Xiang is the place she guards, and the King of Dai Luo is the guardian she sent to protect you. Now you want to harm her people and her place. Do you think the Heavenly Concubine will ignore it? What you have today is not the punishment of the High Gods, but the wrath of the Heavenly Concubine! I was sent by the Heavenly Concubine to save the Luo King. The Heavenly Concubine is benevolent and is willing to give you a chance. Are you not even taking this chance? "
Aphro looked a little agitated as she translated Ye Zhen's words word by word for everyone to hear.
The State Preceptor's expression became more and more unsightly. He looked at Ye Zhen with eyes full of murderous intent.
The Heavenly Concubine was the deity they once believed in. If … if they really angered the Heavenly Concubine, would they be punished?
"The Heavenly Concubine doesn't exist!" The State Preceptor shouted. "Don't listen to this witch's nonsense."
Ye Zhen chuckled. "If the Heavenly Concubine doesn't exist, does your High Gods exist? When Bao Xiang used to believe in the Heavenly Concubine, why did nothing happen? When did a plague like today happen? It's all your fault, old faker! "
Aphro held back her laughter as she translated Ye Zhen's words.
That seems to be the case … The Kingdom of Bao Xiang hasn't had so many people fall sick in many years.
When the State Preceptor saw that the believers he had painstakingly nurtured had been convinced, he angrily pointed at Ye Zhen and shouted, "This witch is bewitching everyone again. Let's burn her to death first … Only by burning her to death can we save Bao Xiang."
A few of the State Preceptor's confidants immediately echoed loudly as they raised their torches and walked over to Ye Zhen.
The Luo King immediately ordered, "Protect Miss Ye."
Chi Man took out the sword by his waist. "Who dares offend the Heavenly Concubine!?"
Ye Zhen stood motionless as she looked coldly at the State Preceptor. "Old faker, even if your scheme succeeds, how long do you think you can live? You don't even know that you're about to die from your illness. Are you trying to drag these innocent people down with you? "
Aphro knew that the State Preceptor could understand Ye Zhen's words, but she still translated them out loud.
The State Preceptor pointed his cane at Ye Zhen. "Today, I'll kill you with my own hands, you witch."
Ye Zhen thought that he wanted to hammer her to death with the cane, but who knew that the State Preceptor would pull out a sword from the end of the cane and point it straight at Ye Zhen.
Chi Man immediately came over to protect Ye Zhen. It was unknown if the believers were agitated by the State Preceptor's actions, but they actually threw the torches in their hands at the soldiers. Instantly, the soldiers howled as they lay on the ground to save themselves.
This was what the State Preceptor wanted. He wanted to obtain victory amidst the chaos.
"Protect your king. If he dies, the State Preceptor will have achieved his goal," Ye Zhen said to Chi Man.
"Miss Ye, what about you?" asked the Luo King.
Ye Zhen looked coldly at the State Preceptor. "You won't blame me if I kill him, right?"
The Luo King said, "The Heavenly Concubine is enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens."
"…" He really thinks of her as the Heavenly Concubine.
Ye Zhen did not know martial arts, but she was good at riding and archery from a young age. Furthermore, she was agile and had soldiers protecting her. She easily dodged the State Preceptor's attack.
She took the gun from her waist and remembered what her father had told her. Although the accuracy of a gun was somewhat different from shooting an arrow, the principle was the same.
This old faker did not just want the throne. He wanted to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of people to get what he wanted.
"Old faker, today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the Heavenly Concubine." Ye Zhen looked at the State Preceptor and said coldly. She shot the gun at the State Preceptor's legs.
Accurately hitting his legs, the State Preceptor knelt down in pain, supporting his body with the sword in his hand.
Aphro took the opportunity to shout, "Look, the State Preceptor is kneeling in front of the Heavenly Concubine. The Heavenly Concubine has appeared …"
Some of the patients in the Temple of the Heavenly Concubine had already woken up. When they heard the movement outside, they came out to have a look and heard Aphro's cry. When they saw Ye Zhen holding a smoking musket in her hand, they remembered that when they were ill and confused, it was this beautiful and refined woman who fed them medicine.
"Heavenly Concubine, Heavenly Concubine …"
"Heavenly Concubine!"
