Chapter 291 Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish!
Hu hu!
The beautiful woman was still in a state of admiration, but Ji Yuchen on the bed had already begun to emit faint snoring sounds.
"Alas! She is still just a girl who has barely passed her twenties,"
With some heartache, the beautiful woman helped Ji Yuchen remove the disguise from her head, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face and a full head of black hair beneath the human skin mask!
At that time, Ji Yuchen was also pretending to be a boy, with her final request being to keep her long black hair.
In a flash, almost ten years had passed. When will there be an end to these days?
Stay connected through empire
Even I, her empress mother, am barely holding on!
Now that Ji Yuchen had reached marriageable age, and Ji Ningxuan, from the Grand Chancellor's family, who had grown up with Ji Yuchen like childhood sweethearts with a foundation of feelings, was the best choice.
Of course, as of now, Ji Ningxuan had not yet discovered Ji Yuchen's true identity, but after getting married, what should they do in the future? If Ji Ningxuan found out Ji Yuchen's secret and agreed to help conceal it, what about when it was time to have children later on?
Two girls, no matter what, cannot have children. As time goes by, what would the other members of the royal family think?
The beautiful woman had not yet figured it out.
But one thing she was very certain of was that the royal family now needed to secure the support of the Grand Chancellor. Otherwise, if Prince Jin really targeted Ji Yuchen, she stood no chance against him!
...
In the Flower Capital, the feast at the Ren Family Courtyard under Elder Master Ren was still going on.
Zhuang Chao kept mingling among all the guests present. Aside from the families that had already been won over by the Gu Sect, he had planted Poison Gu on almost everyone else.
When everything was ready, Zhuang Chao nodded to Zhou Ming, "Finally, everything is in place, it's time to take action!"
Ye Fan's strength had now reached a truly terrifying realm, and he had also cleared all the operatives that Gu Sect had struggled to place within the Southwest Defense Zone. Furthermore, Old Master Ren had recovered the use of his legs. If the Gu Sect did not take down the Ren Family and Ye Fan today, the days ahead would be incredibly difficult for the sect.
The two let out a long sigh of relief, glanced around the hall, and suddenly realized that Ye Fan was nowhere to be seen.
"Where has Ye Fan gone?" Zhuang Chao frowned. "That guy wouldn't have gotten scared and slipped away quietly, could he?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Zhou Ming felt an inexplicable surge of anxiety. He sensed that something bad was happening, "Young Master Zhuang, perhaps we should wait a little longer! There's something about Ye Fan that always seems unsettling!"
"Young Master Zhou, don't worry. I've placed over a dozen types of Poison Gu on Ye Fan. No matter where he goes, I can easily take him down!" Zhuang Chao was no longer the cautious and prudent person he used to be. Even his look towards Zhou Ming carried a hint of disdain.
Hmph!
So what if you are the Holy Envoy? My Poison Gu can still control you!
Elder Master Ren, Ren Zhenghua, and his granddaughter Ren Xueying held wine glasses, having toasted with almost all the guests present. They had just returned to the main seat at the front when Zhuang Chao stepped onto the stage and took the microphone to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself! I hail from the Miaojiang Gu Cult, the only son of the cult leader Zhuang Bifan, Zhuang Chao! Today, I am here to discuss a few matters with everyone!"
Whoosh!
As soon as Zhuang Chao spoke up, he immediately caused a stir at the scene!
"The Gu Sect... Is that those heretical bastards? How did they come out here?"
"Yeah! Thirty years ago, the Gu Sect was a scourge that nearly devastated the whole of Great Xia!"
"Hasn't the empire explicitly stipulated that without official permission, no member of the Gu Sect is allowed to leave Miaojiang? The Gu Sect is up to something!"
Upon hearing Zhuang Chao's introduction, a shadow passed across Ren Tianxing's eyes, and he rebuked coldly, "Gu Sect? Zhuang Chao, you've got some nerve... daring to leave Miaojiang and run wild in Flower Capital! Guards... take him down..."
As the commander stationed in the Southwest, Elder Master Ren's primary duty was to deter the Gu Sect.
Now that the young master of the Gu Sect had run to his doorstep, it was natural that Elder Master Ren did not show a friendly face.
"Hold on! Just wait... Elder Master Ren, please don't be hasty! Should anything happen now that you've just awakened, I really can't bear the responsibility..." All it took was a casual wave from Zhuang Chao for Ren Tianxing to feel a tickle in his nose as if something was crawling out of it.
"Centipedes... Grandpa, why is there a centipede crawling out of your nose, ah..." Ren Xueying, standing beside him, screamed when she saw the centipede crawling out of Ren Tianxing's nostril.
However, when Ren Xueying looked down at her own fingers, she realized several red snakes, as thick as chopsticks, had wrapped around her arm at some point, flicking their fiery tongues—it was clear they were extremely venomous.
"These Poison Gu have quite irritable tempers. Miss Ren and Elder Master, please refrain from moving rashly. If you get bitten, it will be very painful!" Zhuang Chao gave a sinister smile, "Of course, if you comply obediently, these Poison Gu will also behave very nicely!"
Zhuang Chao's lips turned up in a smirk, ignoring Ren Tianxing as he spoke to all the guests present, "Ladies and gentlemen! The Gu Sect has recently planned to form a business alliance in the Southwestern Region, and we urgently need everyone's support!"
"To facilitate better cooperation, our Gu Sect proposes that you transfer 30% of the shares in your business groups to us, and then we can work together for development. I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on this?"
As Zhuang Chao spoke, several "staff members" of the Gu Sect actually took out believable transfer contracts, urging the guests present to sign.
"Damn it! Zhuang Chao, you son of a bitch, you're even more ruthless than Feng Hanshao; you're just outright robbing us!" Wang Fugui exploded upon hearing Zhuang Chao's words, "Believe it or not, I will tear you to pieces!"
"Zhuang Chao, what do you mean? Have you not seen clearly what happened to Feng Hanshao just now? All the guests present are from the Ren Family, do you want to slap the Ren Family in the face, have you considered the consequences of opposing Young Master Ye?" Guo Li was more composed, knowing the might of the Gu Sect, he spoke with gravity but also made the serious implications clear.
"Heh, consequences? Does my Gu Sect need to consider consequences when we do things?" Zhuang Chao knew well that most of the guests remaining at the scene supported Ye Fan and the Ren Family, and if he didn't demonstrate some kind of power, he was afraid he would not be able to handle these people.
"Today, I'll lay it down here: whoever dares not to sign, try me! Those who are with me will prosper, those against me will perish!" Zhuang Chao rebuked sharply, his gaze quickly sweeping across the room, "Whoever isn't afraid of death can step forward now!"
Whoosh!
With a wave of Zhuang Chao's hand, the whole hall immediately began to emit a sizzling noise!
In the blink of an eye, from the hall's surrounding windows, doorways, and rooftop, a large mass of centipedes, scorpions, venomous snakes, spiders... emitted a terrifying, cackling noise...
All the people at the scene went silent, quickly huddling towards the center. The terror of the Gu Sect was far more frightening than Feng Hanshao's coercion and temptation...
