Chapter 386: Chapter 165: Consort Yu’s New Pose! Empress: My little thief is dead?!_3

"Born this way, how would I know?"

"So smooth..."

"Mm~ stop it!"

Dong dong dong——

At this moment, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, and Sun Senior Palace Lady’s voice could be heard from outside:

"Your Highness, the maid has an urgent matter to report!"

"Hmm?"

The Empress frowned slightly.

If it weren’t an emergency, Sun Senior Palace Lady wouldn’t disturb her at this time... Could there be trouble from the Southern Border?

The two women grabbed towels, wrapped their bodies, and the Empress said, "Come in."

"Yes."

Sun Senior Palace Lady pushed open the door, entered, came to the poolside, and bowed her head:

"Reporting to Your Highness, news from Nantu State confirms that Prefect Tong Zhenhai colluded with the Gu God Sect, massacring over ten thousand citizens, and has been executed on the spot."

"The Yulin Army has destroyed the eastern district of the Gu God Sect, with no sect members surviving. It is predicted that within two days, they can uproot the entire Gu God Sect!"

The Empress sneered and said:

"Indeed, Nantu State is rotten to the bone, thinking they can act as they please because it’s remote? It’s time to change the blood in the Southern Border officialdom!"

"As for the Gu God Sect, evil must be rooted out thoroughly, and since we’ve acted, let’s kill them cleanly!"

"But with Zhong Lihe around, such matters shouldn’t need my concern."

Though not the strongest among the royal Tributors, Zhong Lihe is undoubtedly the most ruthless and murderous.

Exterminating sects is fittingly his area of expertise.

Sun Senior Palace Lady whispered: "In addition, Tributor Zhong has sent another message."

The Empress asked in confusion: "What message?"

"Tributor Zhong, while pursuing the Gu God Sect Leader, unexpectedly encountered a blood sea eruption. The reason is unclear for now, but it is certain that it was the Evil Qi formed by the essence blood of tens of thousands of people, and the Gu God Sect Leader ran into it headfirst, dying on the spot."

"And then..."

Sun Senior Palace Lady hesitated.

The Empress’s eyebrows furrowed, "Speak everything at once, why stutter."

Sun Senior Palace Lady took a deep breath, saying, "Then, Tributor Zhong unexpectedly saw Mr. Chen and before he could rescue him, he was engulfed by the blood sea."

As these words fell, the air suddenly became silent.

The Empress was dazed for a moment, then waved her hand and said: "Impossible, Chen Mo is now a Deputy Thousand Households, his duties are desk-based. Cases are handled by his subordinates, why would he go to the Southern Border? Zhong Lihe must have been mistaken."

"No..."

Lin Jingzhu’s face turned pale, her voice trembling as she said: "A few days ago I happened to meet Mr. Chen, he personally told me he was going out for a case, the journey was long and would take a lot of time, he even removed the Chill Toxin from me in advance... Could it really be to the Southern Border?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress froze.

She was silent for a long time, her mouth barely twitching before she asked aloud: "Is Zhong Lihe certain he wasn’t mistaken?"

Sun Senior Palace Lady said: "Tributor Zhong says it’s absolutely certain, no mistake at all, the Blood Evil Qi is so strong that even a Grandmaster Realm can’t withstand it, Mr. Chen is likely already without remains..."

Boom——

Thunder seemed to rumble in Lin Jingzhu’s ears, and she felt the world spinning, nearly collapsing into the pool.

"Impossible!"

"I refuse to believe Mr. Chen is dead!"

She clenched her fists tightly, biting her silver teeth, asking: "Where did it happen? I want to see for myself!"

Sun Senior Palace Lady replied: "Near Sky Miasma Abyss in Tiannan State..."
