Chapter 620 You're certainly obedient enough.
Hearing Lu Yangyang's soft murmur, Yin Yueling turned her head and asked,
"What did you say?"
Lu Yangyang shook her head, clutching the small bottle in her hand tightly: "Qingmo is the Azure Python, but I don't know if there is another Azure Python in this world besides Qingmo."
Yin Yueling exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is! No wonder Master... Master told you he could tell you about the Azure Python. Then you..."
Lu Yangyang raised her hand and showed her the small purple bottle in her hand, "He has already given me the venom of the Azure Python."
Yin Yueling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Spiritual creatures like the Azure Python are rare and hard to come by. Even if there really is a second Azure Python, it won't be easy for you to find it."
Then he asked Lu Yangyang, "Just now... what did Master say to you?"
Lu Yangyang recalled Ming Yueli's last words to her and said softly, "He said... if there is an afterlife, he wants to go to the capital to join in the fun."
"Go to the capital to join in the fun? Is the capital very lively?" Yin Yueling asked curiously.
Lu Yangyang nodded: "Yes, it's lively."
Yin Yueling beckoned with her finger: "Then it's settled. When I have the chance in the future, I'll also go to the capital to join in the fun. You'll have to treat me well."
Lu Yangyang hooked her finger around hers and smiled, "Okay, pinky promise, I'll take you there."
"I'll leave the rest of the work here to you. I'll take my leave first. Your master has arranged for the Yuechuan Royal Army to wreak havoc. This battle has only just begun." Lu Yangyang turned her head to look at the square below. The Mingyue Clan was destroyed, but the Yuechuan Royal Army still existed. Mingyue Li never said a word about the Yuechuan Royal Army until the very end. If the Yuechuan Royal Army insisted on carrying out Mingyue Li's orders before her death, then the Yuechuan Kingdom would still be stained with blood.
Yin Yueling nodded: "Don't worry, I'll come and meet up with you after I've cleaned up this place."
Lu Yangyang responded and hurriedly left to find Zong Que.
She had to tell Zong Que about the Yuechuan King's army as soon as possible.
A little earlier in time, after the sacrificial ceremony began, Zong Que led his men away from the sacrificial procession and headed towards the lake where Yan Yue was ordered to be stationed.
As soon as he moved, everyone around Yan Yue began to move, gradually withdrawing from the crowd of people performing the sacrifice below.
Meanwhile, another group of people, watching the people slowly leaving the crowd, quietly followed them.
Behind the Gu God Temple is a continuous mountain range. The lake where Lu Yangyang met Yan Yue that day happened to be located at the foot of the mountain. After Yan Yue and his men met with Zong Que's men, they immediately entered the mountain.
After confirming their whereabouts, a group of people immediately followed behind them.
They followed all the way to the Heavenly Pool behind the Gu God Temple, which was the place where Yin Yueling saw Qingmo bathing. The so-called Heavenly Pool was located in a depression on the top of a low mountain, surrounded by naturally formed, jagged rocks that were completely visible.
The surrounding mountains are lush and green, but only around this Heavenly Lake is barren, with smooth rocks on both sides. There are cliffs on one side and a path leading up the mountain on the other, which connects to the Gu God Temple halfway up another high mountain.
It resembles a bathing pool specifically reserved in the backyard of the Gu God Temple.
As soon as Yan Yue and his group arrived, Zong Ke's men immediately surrounded the entire area.
Zong Que stood by the shimmering pool and slowly turned around.
Zong Ke climbed onto the back of a burly man who was easily two meters tall, and the man put him down. He slowly walked towards Zong Que, a smile involuntarily playing on his lips.
"My dear brother, we've finally met again. I can't wait to bring your body back to the capital. Do you think Father will be satisfied?"
Zong Ke was in such a pleasant mood that even his usually gloomy eyes were now light and dreamy.
He couldn't help but clap his hands: "I'm really curious. You know that negotiations with King Yuechuan are no longer possible, and Yuechuan is now in my hands. Instead of trying to escape, you came here... Let me guess, you wanted to lure me here yourself, didn't you?"
“Looks like you’re not stupid after all,” Zong Que said with a slight chuckle as he looked down at Zong Ke, who was less than ten feet away. “But you are indeed quite obedient. You follow me when I tell you to. You’ve been playing the role of a dog for so long, it seems like you won’t be able to change this habit anytime soon.”
Zong Ke's expression changed slightly for a moment, then returned to normal. "I knew you had a sharp tongue. You're still the same as always. There's no need to bother confirming your identity."
His gaze fell on Zong Que's legs. "Back then, your legs were smashed to pieces. Your father frantically searched for the best doctors in the country to treat your legs, while also ordering those doctors to give you forbidden drugs. You went berserk and killed so many people in the Eastern Palace that the blood could not be washed away. How did that feel?"
"What? Are you envious?" Zong Que glanced at him, then looked at the two sisters following behind him. "If you're envious, why don't you just take more of the medicine that was used on the Empress Dowager?"
"Hahaha," Zong Ke couldn't help but laugh, "You know all that? Well, you should thank me then. After all, that old hag has caused quite a bit of trouble in the harem. She caused my mother to miscarry, and I made sure she would be insane for the rest of her life until she died. I was avenging you! Don't you think so?"
"Really? I seem to remember that when you were a child, you went to her palace to pay your respects. Su Fengqu mocked you for being a cripple and followed behind you, limping and imitating your walk. You got angry and pushed him, but were punished by the Empress Dowager and made to kneel in the snow all night." Zong Que's voice gradually turned cold: "Three years ago, during that polo match at Guanfeng Garden, it was the person you bribed who startled Su Fengqu's horse, trying to break Su Fengqu's leg. Zong Ke, you hold a grudge for so long, so stop trying to take credit for it everywhere."
Zong Ke's face gradually contorted. The longer he endured it, the more his face seemed to wear an indelible mask, allowing him to remain expressionless and respond with a smile no matter what happened.
But Zong Que was an exception; he could always stir up his emotions with just a few words.
"Zong Que, you've been high and mighty since childhood, how could you possibly understand the suffering I've endured? Was I wrong to break Su Fengqu's leg? He's just that old hag's grand-nephew, yet he dares to climb over my head. If it weren't for your meddling, that country bumpkin, Su Fengqu would have been a cripple long ago! But she's repeatedly ruined my plans, and twice that good-for-nothing Su Fengqu managed to escape!" Zong Que coldly hissed.
"Twice? It seems you were involved when the Duke of Chengen's mansion killed Miss Feng and framed Su Fengqu." Zong Que chuckled, "You're quite devoted to the third son, always cleaning up his messes."
