Since Xin Mu said so, Xiao Yu naturally couldn't say anything.
However, his expression was slightly gloomy, and there was a trace of displeasure in his expression, which made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Lin Mengya watched from the side, but she sneered silently in her heart.
The people of the Xin Clan put it nicely, saying that it was of great importance and that it was for the safety of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool.
In reality, they were just treating this place as the private property of the Xin family.
Since that was the case, they could not blame the royal family for not allowing them to live.
Even ordinary people would get into trouble because of their wealth, not to mention the ambitious and capable Xin family.
According to Xin Mu's introduction, it would take some time to reach the entrance of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool from the foot of the mountain.
However, Lin Mengya's radar had been sending out warnings since she entered the yard.
The types of poisons here were beyond Lin Mengya's imagination. There were even some poisons that were not recorded in the music score for the green stringed instrument. She could only rely on the Shen Nung system to analyze the types of poisons.
Every blade of grass and every tree was poisonous. Even the air and the soil might not be spared.
Could it be that such a huge mountain was actually a poisonous mountain?
Fortunately, before going up the mountain, Xin Mu gave everyone an antidote pill.
Therefore, even if there was a faint smell of poison in the air, these people would not be knocked out by it.
"Your Highness, be careful where you step. Although this is the only entrance to the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, it is also because of this that it is filled with poisonous creatures. However, our Xin Clan has been guarding the Ten Thousand Gu Pool for many years. This small matter is not a problem for us. "
Xin Mu explained amiably as he led the way.
Looking around, except for a winding path that was the width of two people, the rest of the place was covered with plants with intertwined roots.
Moreover, Lin Mengya smelled some herbs that could expel poisonous insects and snakes along the path.
If it weren't for these things, this path would have been filled with layers upon layers of killing intent.
He could not help but be flabbergasted, wondering if this Ten Thousand Gu Pool was the work of man or the work of nature.
But no matter which one it was, it was still an amazing secret place.
There were fewer and fewer people on the road, and the number of guards who were supposed to protect him but were actually monitoring him was also shrinking.
Later on, there would be a guard stopping at intervals along the way.
Halfway up the mountain, the poisonous substances in the air became thicker.
Other than her who was not affected at all, the others had to replenish their antidote pills on the spot.
Even Xin Mu didn't seem to have it easy.
Lin Mengya tried her best to follow behind Ning Qiu so that no one would notice anything unusual.
If others knew that she didn't care about these poisonous creatures, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the boring walk didn't last long.
After walking for about a dozen miles, they finally saw the edge of the Ten Thousand Gu Pond.
Standing at the top of the mountain, Lin Mengya looked at everything in front of her and was shocked.
Originally, they had thought that this was the highest point of the Ten Thousand Gu Pond. However, when they reached the top of the mountain, they discovered that it was actually the lowest point of the entire mountain range.
The name Ten Thousand Gu Pool was just right. Looking down from the mountain, the surrounding peaks and low foothills looked like a huge mountain pool.
However, because of such a landform, more and more poisonous creatures gathered in the middle.
Right now, it was still daytime. However, the Ten Thousand Gu Pool was already covered in a greenish-purple chaos. No one could see anything clear.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly. In fact, before she came here, she had already anticipated this situation.
If it weren't for her blood, they would be at the mercy of others here.
"I didn't expect that this is the Ten Thousand Gu Pool."
Even the air was filled with poisonous fog that could make ordinary people bleed from their seven orifices.
However, the Gu Heart in Wanyan Yu's body was extremely excited.
The poison was a great tonic for the Gu Heart.
After exchanging a look with her sister, Wanyan Yu sighed with emotion.
"Yes, this is the holy land of Lieyun, the Ten Thousand Gu Pool. The Gu King is in the innermost part. As long as it is here, Lieyun will be the strongest in the four countries and no one can match it! "
Lin Mengya wanted to laugh out loud when she heard Xin Mu say such silly words.
Although Xin Mu was proud, it was only because he had his eyes set on the Xin family and Lieyun.
But among the four countries, the people of Lieyun were actually at a disadvantage.
If there was no natural barrier to protect them, the people of Lieyun, who were controlled by the Gu, might be the first to be destroyed and enslaved in the four countries.
One should know that human creativity was infinite.
Others might not be able to control the so-called Gu King now, but what about five years later? What about ten years later?
Once the Gu King was controlled, the whole Lieyun would be at the mercy of others.
If they still couldn't realize this problem, in the near future, Lieyun would only become a subsidiary of the other three countries.
Therefore, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else what Xiaoyu meant to Lieyun.
"Since the Gu King is in the pool, when can we go to the place where it is?"
Xiao Yu's casual words caused Xin Mu's expression to change in an instant.
Previously, the Ninth Highness had already mentioned it a few times, but in the end, he brushed it off perfunctorily.
Now they were at the edge of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, and the Gu King in the pool had reached the last moment of feeding.
Even if he didn't want to answer, he had to.
"In fact … in fact, there is no need to trouble the Ninth Highness. You have seen the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, it is extremely dangerous. You are a noble person, and it is difficult to guarantee the safety of His Highness if you are careless. We can't afford the consequences. "
Wanyan Yu sneered in her heart, but she just showed a puzzled expression.
"In this case, what do you think we should do, uncle?"
Xin Mu weighed his words, for fear that he would say something wrong and annoy this young master.
He had an apologetic smile on his face, but his gaze fell on Ning Qiu, who had been silent all this while.
"I'm afraid we have to ask Miss Ning Qiu for help. But Your Highness, don't worry. We will guarantee her safety and will not hurt her."
These words were really shameless.
Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu looked at each other. Now they understood the Xin Family's plan.
They wanted to know the relationship between Ning Qiu and the Venomous Ice Jade Cicada, but they didn't want Xiaoyu to participate in this matter.
Therefore, they used such a high-sounding excuse.
He was indeed someone who did great things. If he could be shameless, he would be shameless. He was shameless to the point of righteousness.
Hearing Xin Mu's answer, Wanyan Yu no longer maintained a good face to him.
Wanyan Yu's face darkened, and his eyes were shining. He was no longer a young man who was indulging in sensual pleasures these days.
"Uncle, you are really scheming. The Venomous Insect Lady was lost in my mother's generation, and now you want my sister to replace her? If my sister can't become the Venomous Insect Lady, you will say that to achieve great things, one person's sacrifice is nothing. If she succeeds, what reason are you going to use to make her stay? Will it be my mother's atonement, or will it be my sister's benefit to the whole of Lie Yun? "
Even with Xin Mu's thick skin, he couldn't take such harsh words.
In the Xin Family, he was just above the others, and had never been blamed like this.
He pulled a long face, but because of Xin Mu's identity, he didn't dare to offend him.
"Your Highness, please calm down. The Xin Family is not like this. It's just that it's really hard to move around. Your Highness, you have also seen that the venomous insect we saw in the house the other day was only in the forest that we just passed by. If we go inside, even I can't predict what will happen. Your Highness, you must not take such a risk. "
Since Xin Mu had said this, Wanyan Yu also understood that if she didn't take out her trump card, the Xin Family would be driven to desperate measures.
Her lips curled up, and a cold smile appeared on her jade-like face.
She took out something from her bosom and gave it to Xin Mu.
Xin Mu only took a quick look at it, and his face instantly turned pale.
His expression suddenly became extremely complicated. When he looked at Wanyan Yu again, his eyes were dyed with a bit of unease.
"You are my uncle, and that is why I suppressed it, and did not let my father dispose of it. Moreover, I am only going in to take a look. If something really happens, the Xin Family will have nothing to do with it. I have already told my father about this, so you don't have to worry. "
Wanyan Yu, who had just given Xin Mu a fright, was now speaking softly to him.
Xin Mu was stunned for a moment. He held the letter in his hands tightly, and his face was trembling.
"This … This is a very important matter. I am afraid I can't make the decision alone. Your Highness, please wait for a moment. We will discuss it as soon as possible. "
Wanyan Yu was still a little dissatisfied, but Xin Mu was right. He really couldn't make the decision, so he had to give up.
"Your Highness, Lord Xin, if there is nothing else, our young lady should go back."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Xin Mu also forgot the purpose of bringing Ning Qiu here.
Lin Mengya reminded them in a gentle voice, and everyone's eyes fell on Ning Qiu.
"Sister, are you tired?"
In front of outsiders, Xiaoyu naturally had to be a good younger brother who cared about his sister all the time.
Ning Qiu shook her head gently and didn't say anything.
Xin Mu seemed to suddenly remember something. He wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and turned to Ning Qiu.
"Actually, the reason why I invited Miss Ning Qiu here is to allow everyone to witness the uncanny workmanship of the Ten Thousand Gu Pool. Secondly, I hope that Miss Ning Qiu will be able to help the Xin Clan. Of course, if you agree, the Xin Family will definitely repay you. "
The main event had finally arrived. Ning Qiu looked at Wanyan Yu. Her cold expression did not change in the slightest because of Xin Mu's promise of a reward.
