Chapter 75 A Threat?

Looking at Jiang Chen's slightly cold back, two lines of clear tears streamed down Consort Shu's face.

Subconsciously, she followed, wanting to explain, but the sharp-eyed Xu Mu saw her intention, stopped her, and dissuaded her.

"Your Majesty, at this critical moment, you should listen to His Majesty."

"His Majesty has always hated others disobeying him, and these people from beyond the borders are capable of controlling Gu and poisoning people. They have committed several murders in the imperial capital. If you are accidentally poisoned..."

Xu Mu didn't continue, believing that Consort Shu's talent would allow her to understand the importance of the matter.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Commander Xu, for the reminder."

"If you need my help again in the future, Commander Xu, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help."

Wiping away her tears, Consort Shu glanced at Jiang Chen's back with fear, then suppressed her emotions, regained her usual dignity, and left the pavilion under the escort of the imperial guards.

However, her slender figure seemed to be filled with sorrow, her steps were no longer as composed as before, and her movements revealed a hint of absent-mindedness.

These people, these people actually have the ability to control Gu worms, and they have lives on their hands... These are all major taboos of the court!

A dignified look gradually appeared on her pretty and gentle face. Consort Shu's red lips were tightly pursed. The court officials and the common people were already extremely dissatisfied with her and the Xu family.

If the matter of the witch doctors were to spread, she and her brother would face a huge trouble!

At this time, Jiang Chen, who had seen Consort Shu off, completely let go, no longer maintaining his gentle facade, and said fiercely, "A bunch of useless people, you can't even take down so few people. I've wasted my time raising you!"

"I'll give you another half-stick of incense worth of time. No matter what, take down these bastards!"

"If you can't complete the task, take off your waist tags and go home to reflect."

As soon as his words fell, the two sides in the field, who were already fighting fiercely, became even more ruthless!

The imperial guards, who had been restrained to avoid causing serious injuries to the Gu Masters and affecting His Majesty's subsequent interrogation, were finally able to attack without restraint.

Various killing moves fell like snowflakes, quickly forcing the six Gu Masters dressed as witch doctors into a corner.

Their high efficiency made Jiang Chen nod slightly.

This was more like it. If he sent so many people and still couldn't take down those Gu Masters, he, the emperor, would lose all face!

Slowly walking in, his murderous gaze fell on the encirclement in front of him, and he said condescendingly, "You think I wouldn't dare to touch you? Keep your lives to get information or to recruit you and find out more secrets?"

"Heh, then you are very wrong. I never accept the surrender of trash!"

"Just for what you did to those women, I will cut you into a thousand pieces and hang your heads for public display!"

Feeling the killing intent in Jiang Chen's tone, the eyes of the leading Gu Master flashed with panic, which quickly turned into viciousness. He raised his head fiercely and said, "You dog emperor, you want to kill us? Then try it and see who dies first!"

"I won't hide it from you. When we entered the palace, we sprinkled Gu worms all along the way. If we, the nurturers, lose our lives, the Gu worms will completely lose control and turn the entire palace into a breeding ground for plagues."

"At that time, you and your delicate and beautiful concubines will all turn into rotten flesh in the poison."

"So, be smart and release us immediately, or you can just wait to die!"

The Gu Master leader's expression was arrogant, as if he was sure of Jiang Chen. He added viciously, "Let me remind you, don't think that the quack doctors in the palace can解开 Gu poison (jie kai gu du - cure the Gu poison). They don't have that ability."

"In this world, besides the nurturers, only our master can解蛊毒 (jie gu du - cure Gu poison). He is a master of poison who intimidates the world. If he knows that his disciples are dead, he will definitely come to take revenge."

"If you don't want to live in constant fear in the future, then be sensible and let us go!"

Master?

Was that the foreign Gu Master who knelt and begged for mercy from him?

A look of disdain appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You talk so big, aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue?"

The words were clearly sarcastic, but the Gu Master leader, who was struggling to support himself in the encirclement, took them as fear and continued to threaten, "You know very well whether it's a bluff or not. Your precious Consort Shu has experienced my master's power!"

"If you don't want your concubines to be poisoned with incurable poisons, then cooperate obediently." Although his words were tough, the Gu Master leader couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.

The Gu worms he just mentioned were purely fabricated and did not exist at all. Even the master's revenge was a gamble that Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to the affairs of the martial world and didn't know the behavior of the foreign Gu Masters.

As an evil expert who had studied Gu and poison to the extreme, his master, the foreign Gu Master, had no master-disciple relationship with his disciples. If he couldn't come up with enough benefits to impress him, even if his disciples died in front of the foreign Gu Master's door, it was estimated that the old guy wouldn't bother to come out and take a look.

If it weren't for this reason, how could that big shot have given up on his master and turned to contact him?

While slandering, the Gu Master leader didn't forget to maintain his expression, without a trace of flaw, for fear that the tyrant in front of him would see through his lies.

But what he didn't know was that this clumsy lie had never deceived Jiang Chen from the beginning.

The reason why he didn't expose it was just to enjoy their struggling ugly state a little longer.

Moreover, isn't it more painful to give them hope of survival first and then shatter it?

Thinking of those girls who died tragically and were then abandoned, the malice in Jiang Chen's heart grew stronger. His sharp and sinister eyes made the Gu Masters' hairs stand on end. They lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

"You, are you threatening me?"

"Or are you saying that you think I'm an idiot and would believe such a clumsy lie?"

The casual voice made the Gu Master leader's heart tremble.

"In my life, the thing I hate the most is deception and threats."

"Anyone who dares to violate this taboo, no matter what their status, will be sent to see Yama!"

"I originally planned to kill you after interrogating you... but I've changed my mind now."

After saying that, Jiang Chen gave Feng Jin a look: "Bring this dog's master here. Doesn't he think this backer is strong enough? It will be very interesting to see him later."

The lighthearted tone was chilling.

Unlike these Gu Masters who didn't know anything, the imperial guards knew what kind of punishment their emperor had given to the foreign Gu Master.

Thinking of the scene that was about to appear, everyone's hearts trembled, and they had a deeper understanding of the cruelty and tyranny of the monarch they served.

‘Gululu…’

The sound of wheels turning gradually became clear.

The Gu Masters in the encirclement subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, but the moment they saw the humanoid object on the flatbed cart, their faces turned pale, their teeth chattered, and their whole bodies were frozen in fear.

Trembling, they said, "Ty, ty, tyrant..."
