Master Dugu then sent a streak of energy toward Ranmil.
Ranmil was already tired from controlling the crystal ball.
“What…”
Ranmil cried out in surprise.
With that, the crystal ball began to crack.
The cracks soon covered the entire ball.
There was a scream.
And Ranmil spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Ranmil?” Emperor Wu nervously called her name.
But the others only cared about the crystal ball.
“Why is it broken?”
“I want to see more!”
“What should we do now?”
…
Lady Northern Feng was the most anxious of them all.
Because she genuinely cared about her goddaughter.
She stared at Ranmil and wanted Ranmil to repair the crystal ball.
But Master Dugu spoke first. “Is Lady Ranmil affected by the backlash?”
Ranmil put a hand on her chest and nodded. “Yes, I was injured when the ball shattered…”
She covered her mouth and coughed.
There was blood on her palm.
Emperor Wu immediately said, “Don’t worry about it! Your health is more important than anything else!”
Empress Dugu’s pupils contracted, and there was jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
Lady Northern Feng wanted to say something but kept her silence in the end.
Her Xiao Wu was facing a Spiritual King alone. What should she do? Lady Northern Feng was so worried.
At the same time.
Feng Wu was staring at the Spiritual King.
The Spiritual King was staring back at her.
“Feng Wu, do you regret it?” The Spiritual King stared at Feng Wu with his emotionless eyes.
Feng Wu glanced at him. “What should I regret?”
The man put his hands behind his back and sighed in a condescending way. “If you hadn’t returned to the imperial capital, you wouldn’t be wealthy, but you wouldn’t be dead either. Do you regret it?”
Feng Wu narrowed her eyes. “So, Master Zuo, were you going to let me live if I had stayed at the northern border?”
The man nodded. “I would have kept you alive if you weren’t so talented.”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
The Spiritual King said, “Your miserable life would only make Qingluan look more brilliant. That was why we didn’t kill you when we destroyed your cultivation ability.”
It was Master Zuo who had done that to her.
Zuo Ming couldn’t be bothered to hide his identity.
Unfortunately…
The crystal ball was broken, and no one on the other side heard it. If they did, the Zuo family’s reputation would be ruined.
Master Zuo and Feng Wu didn’t know that their conversation earlier had been broadcasted, nor did they know that the live stream had been cut off.
Master Zuo thought that Feng Wu was bound to die, so he didn’t choose his words carefully.
“I was going to spare your life, but —” He shook his head. “My children died because of you. It wouldn’t be right if I let you live.
“So —” He waved at Feng Wu. “Come over here.”
Feng Wu stepped back involuntarily.
She was no fool. Of course, she wouldn’t go to him.
She turned and ran away.
However, she only took a few steps before there was a thump.
She ran into an invisible shield, which left a bloody gash on her forehead.
Involuntarily, she turned.
