Chapter 267: The Fool's Endgame (4)
After confirming that the eldest princess had fallen off the cliff, Wang Zhiyu left directly, knowing that his move would cause the Western Regions Demon Sect to be unhappy, but this was all done by him at that time. This matter is already shady, he doesn't believe that the Demon Sect dares to come thousands of miles to find trouble with the Tunan royal family, and Liu Dingrui's order is only for Liu Lingxi, as for how to die, it doesn't matter who dies in whose hands.
The cliffs of the Remnant Yang Ridge are thousands of feet high, and the surrounding areas are bare cliffs, and there is not even a place to stay, unless you reach the cultivation above the Breaking Sky Realm, there is no possibility of escaping at all.
The eldest princess has no true qi cultivation, and Wang Zhilian's body is highly poisonous, and he was pierced through the heart by his own sword, these can be confirmed.
Mission accomplished.
Wang Zhiyu didn't waste his tongue with the rest of the Demon Sect people, the original plan discussed by the two sides was that the Demon Sect took the goods of the pro-caravan, and all the people must be killed, and they must not do anything that insults the dignity of the Tunan royal family. If it weren't for Wang Zhiyu following him thousands of miles away, I was afraid that no one would know about the Demon Sect's tearing up of the treaty, and they wouldn't be able to stop it.
On the way back, the desperate and sad expression of his younger brother Wang Zhilian, and the angry and mocking eyes of the eldest princess kept coming to Wang Zhiyu's mind, making him feel confused, and he almost fell off the horse several times.
And if you want to stop and rest, all kinds of complex emotions will spread to your heart like an inexhaustible wildfire, and continue to entangle Wang Zhiyu.
Wang Zhiyu recalled a lot along the way, some about his younger brother and about the eldest princess. The bits and pieces of the past were woven into a huge net, trapping Wang Zhiyu in it, and the harder he tried to break free, the deeper he sank.
Knocking on the head, he can't drive it away, and he keeps swinging his sword, and he will only keep showing his brother's figure in front of him.
The last sachet left by Wang Zhilian was picked up by Wang Zhiyu, and the highly poisonous Gu worm inside was still in the sachet at this time, and its body was curled up and dormant.
Wang Zhiyu remembered the Western Regions Demon Sect's evaluation of the poison of a thousand spiders, and also remembered how his own brother Wang Zhihuan withstood the pain of the highly poisonous phagogue and protected the safety of everyone around him with just one sword.
It's not that the poison of this thousand spiders is invalid, it's just that Wang Zhilian's control and willpower of the true qi are too terrifying, and he just suppresses the poison of this thousand spiders.
"Stupid brother, even at the end of your life, do you want to taunt me in this way?" Looking at the Gu worm curled up in front of him, Wang Zhiyu suddenly became angry, and his true qi flowed out from his fingertips, instantly splitting the Gu worm into two, and the blue-green body fluid splashed Wang Zhiyu's hand.
Wang Zhiyu lowered his head and licked it lightly, and a foul smell came from his mouth and nose. Wang Zhiyu suppressed the extreme discomfort in his body and swallowed it, and it didn't take long for the extreme itching and tingling sensation to come from the depths of the meridians.
Although it was dormant, the ferocity of the Thousand Spider Poison was far beyond Wang Zhiyu's imagination, and he regretted his rash actions a little, so he only desperately choked his throat, trying to force the swallowed toxin out of his body.
The toxin failed to vomit, but as the true qi gradually began to spread in the body, wave after wave of pain frantically biting Wang Zhiyu's meridians, Wang Zhiyu could really feel that the true qi in his body was rampage uncontrollably, and his body was like a leather bag that was constantly filled with water, facing the danger of being burst at any time.
Only after experiencing it himself, Wang Zhiyu understood that what the people of the Demon Sect said at the beginning was definitely not boasting, and the poison of this thousand spiders was far more poisonous than he imagined. Wang Zhiyu only felt that he was like a small boat fluttering in a storm, huge waves, reefs, and hidden sea monsters could subvert him at any time, and the only thing he could do was to try his best to hold on to the only oars and pray for God's blessing.
It is too difficult to suppress the out-of-control true qi, Wang Zhiyu knew that he was on the verge of life and death, and wanted to give up countless times, but was finally called back by a strong unwillingness.
The younger brother was able to suppress the toxin while fighting many Demon Sect masters without falling behind, could he only roll and wail like a maggot?
Is the gap between us really that big?
After losing consciousness several times and sobering up several times, the furious true qi finally showed signs of stopping, and at this time, the cold sweat behind Wang Zhiyu had already completely soaked his underwear.
Wang Zhiyu knew that he had passed the most dangerous period, and his body had gradually adapted to the flow of true qi. Next, as long as you calm down and control the flow of true qi little by little, you can force the toxins out of your body.
The process of escaping death did not make the strong inferiority complex in Wang Zhiyu's heart disappear, but magnified it again. Fortunately, because of the pain coming from all over his body, Wang Zhiyu was finally able to divert his attention, and the figures of Wang Zhilian and the eldest princess would not always come to mind.
When he finally returned to Luojing to return to Liu Dingrui, more than a month had passed since Wang Zhiyu's departure, and the entire Tu Nan was in endless sadness because of the tribulation of the eldest princess. Wang Zhiyu's return also seems insignificant.
Liu Dingrui was not interested in the details of the task at all, but bluntly said that Wang Zhiyu did a good job and did everything well, so he was immersed in the joy brought by Xizhou's promise to send troops to fight against Qingyan.
And the whole thing has always been known only to Wang Zhiyu, and for many years, he has nowhere to talk to him, and he can only temporarily forget that memory by relying on penance and sword practice day and night.
Until the eldest princess appeared in front of her again today.
Because he has been by Liu Dingrui's side, Wang Zhiyu himself can't remember the last time he had such a close face-to-face with the eldest princess Liu Lingxi.
As an outstanding representative of the palace guards, Wang Zhiyu and Wang Zhilian were qualified to enter the palace when the first emperor went to court. And Wang Zhiyu's deepest impression of the eldest princess, in addition to the back and playful look before falling off the cliff, is only the heroic posture of the dense crowd above the court scolding Fang Xuan.
The eldest princess is far more talented than Liu Dingrui, who she serves, and has more mind and strength as the head of a country, which Wang Zhiyu also knows very well. But in many cases, feelings and reason are not well integrated, and when there is a conflict, people are only more inclined to make choices that are beneficial to themselves.
If the eldest princess succeeds to the throne and becomes the second empress in the history of Tunan, then Liu Dingrui is destined to only live in a corner and can only be a local prince in his life, and he Wang Zhiyu is also destined to be unable to sit on the position of chief emperor he has coveted for a long time.
When did you start to stand completely on the opposite side of this genius princess?
Wang Zhiyu sighed deeply, memories flooded like a tide, and at that moment he seemed to have aged for decades.
