Nangong Che had an ugly expression. What else could he say? It was simply akin to him seeking death.
"This……"
"Since Prince Nangong still doesn't think so, then I hope Ling Empire can give me an explanation on what's going on," How could Xiao Qi Feng be easily fooled by them?
A drop of sweat fell from Nangong Che's forehead, his expression was not very good: "Someone is framing us."
"Reporting to your majesty, please act on behalf of the deceased palace servants and imperial bodyguards," Lei An walked in with anger on his face.
Seeing Lei An acting like that, Xiao Qi Feng and the others knew they had found what they wanted.
"What happened?"
"This…… This subordinate is unable to put it in words. Will your majesty and princes of each empire head out to have a look?" Lei An's voice was filled with pain, his gaze towards Nangong Che was filled with hatred.
Xiao Qi Feng took the lead and went out first, then the rest followed. In the end, only Qiao Tian Chang, Nangong Che, the scholar, and the others remained.
"To dare touch my wife, are you all prepared for my wraith?" Qiao Tian Chang said softly, seeing their dumbfounded expressions, he turned around and left in satisfaction.
The scholar had a gloomy expression as he looked at Qiao Tian Chang's departing figure, he finally understood why this incident had suddenly been dug out. It was because the man who loved his wife had found out what he did to Ning Meng Yao, that was why he investigated it in order to catch their tail.
In other words, they had brought it on themselves, it had nothing to do with others.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Nangong Che looked worriedly at the scholar, he had an anxious expression.
The scholar looked at Nangong Che: "We can only go out and have a look."
"But……"
"Silence."
Nangong Yue had a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth as she waved her sleeves seeing Nangong Che being angry but unable to refute.
Nothing had happened yet and he was already about to lose his mind. Her brother really was……
When Nangong Yue arrived outside, she couldn't help but be shocked by the number of corpses. Other than the numbers Qiao Tian Chang mentioned previously, there were no fewer than twenty corpses outside, men and women alike, and they had ferocious expressions showing how much pain they endured before they died.
"This…… This……"
"These are all found in the temporary residence Prince Nangong and the others reside in."
"Nan Yu?"
Nan Yu nodded. He walked to the side of the corpses and the crowd followed. He made a cut on the wrist of a corpse and small worms that looked alike to the worms in the female corpse's body soon wriggled out.
The crowd quickly retreated, the alcohol which was prepared long ago was splashed on the worms before burning them completely.
After the corpses were burnt, the scholar experienced intense backlash once more.
His white clothing was now stained with blood. There was no need for any explanation as this display had told the crowd that it was closely related to him.
"Nan Yu, do you know what these things are?"
"Corpse Transformation Gu."
"What's that?" Xiao Qi Feng frowned and asked in confusion.
"As the name suggests, it's able to transform a living person into a corpse. After these people become corpses, they would be controlled by the Gu worms inside, becoming walking corpses, or puppets," Nan Yu said calmly. He looked at the scholar who was filled with disbelief. There was a mocking smile at the corner of Nan Yu's mouth, he was waiting for this moment.
The scholar originally thought that no one here would know about it, he never imagined that it would be recognized by an inconspicuous person.
"Mother And Child Gu, Corpse Transformation Gu, I wonder if this gentleman still has any other good stuff? No, to be more precise, are you someone from Southern Xinjiang?" The crowd was in an uproar when they heard Nan Yu's final words.
Southern Xinjiang was a strange place. The strangeness did not lie in their secretive whereabouts but the mysterious Gu worms and poisons in their hands. Those were things that could invisibly kill people.
The scholar glared at Nan Yu. The Corpse Transformation Gu was a tool he prepared to leave in Xiao Empire, he never imagined that his plan was ruined all because of his mistake. Curses!
