Chapter 616: No Armor Left
Lu Yangyang glanced at the "holy water" in her hand, then looked at the people drinking it, all of whom had solemn, serious, and respectful expressions.
She whispered to Yin Yueling, "Is there a problem?"
Yin Yueling was a little embarrassed, but she forced herself to say, "That's Qingmo's bathwater. I saw it with my own eyes. It's the pool in the back. Qingmo bathed in the west side for a long time, and the water in the back... you know."
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Yin Yueling really couldn't drink it.
She carefully brought the holy water to her lips, covered it with her sleeve, and poured the tiny sip of holy water into her sleeve.
Then he opened his eyes wide, looked at Lu Yangyang, and gave an awkward smile.
Lu Yangyang was about to do the same thing and pour the holy water into her sleeve, but at the crucial moment, she suddenly stopped.
She pulled out her hairpin, took out a silver needle from it, and inserted the needle tip into the holy water.
The silver needles remained unchanged.
"Am I overthinking this?" Lu Yangyang muttered to herself.
Yin Yueling walked over and whispered, "Your method won't work. This holy water can't possibly be poisonous. Even if it were, you wouldn't be able to detect it. Some poisons don't work from just one thing."
In a place like Yuechuan Kingdom, where exotic flowers and plants abound, some flowers are poisonous just from their fragrance, and others are poisonous when several scents are mixed together. They are not easy to distinguish at all; even a dog's nose wouldn't help!
Lu Yangyang naturally understood what she meant. If it wasn't holy water, then what could it be?
Seeing that everyone else had respectfully finished drinking the holy water, Lu Yangyang, fearing she would attract attention, hurriedly and quietly poured it away.
"Holy Maiden, the King requests your presence." Just then, a servant rushed in to report.
Yin Yueling glanced at the servant, then looked at King Yuechuan in the distance. As if sensing her gaze, King Yuechuan nodded slightly to her.
Yin Yueling instantly understood and whispered to Lu Yangyang, "They're probably going to announce my marriage to Mingruo. Wait here, I'll go over and see what those old fogies are up to!"
Lu Yangyang felt that things were not so simple. If her guess was correct, King Yuechuan should never have thought of letting Yin Yueling marry Mingruo, so there was no way there would be a grand wedding.
She grabbed Yin Yueling's arm. "I'll go with you."
Yin Yueling looked at her and then nodded.
The two followed the attendants through the crowd and arrived at King Yuechuan's side.
At this moment, several elders standing behind King Yuechuan saw Yin Yueling approaching, stepped forward, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time. We can announce the wedding now."
Then he raised his hand and ordered, "Go and invite the descendants of Young Master Qi here."
Before the attendants could act, King Yuechuan interrupted them, "Wait."
King Yuechuan turned slightly to the side and reached out his hand to Yin Yueling, "Little Yueling, come here."
Confused, Yin Yueling stepped forward and placed her hand on King Yuechuan's hand. King Yuechuan led Yin Yueling to the front of the altar, facing the densely packed Yuechuan people below. His voice was clear and deep, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
"People of Yuechuan, listen up! By the grace of the God of Gu, a divine decree has been issued: from this day forward, the Holy Maiden Yin Yueling is hereby appointed as the next King of Yuechuan."
Upon hearing this, the bewildered people of Yuechuan knelt before the new king, proclaiming, "May the God of Gu bless all living beings! May King Yuechuan live forever, and may heaven and earth endure forever!"
Yin Yueling turned her head in disbelief to look at King Yuechuan beside her, while King Yuechuan simply gazed silently at the countless people below.
The elders behind him completely changed their expressions and whispered a rebuke to King Yuechuan: "Mingyue Li! Do you know what you are doing! She comes from Miao territory and is not of the bloodline of our Mingyue clan. Who gave you the right to hand over the throne of Yuechuan to someone else!"
King Yuechuan slowly turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The Bright Moon Clan? It's a pity that from this day forward, the Bright Moon Clan will cease to exist in this world."
"What did you say!" the elders roared, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.
Almost simultaneously, members of the Yuechuan royal family behind King Yuechuan began to cough up blood and collapse to the ground one after another.
Not only them, but even the people kneeling below began to vomit blood and collapse.
The elder, lying on the ground, clutched his chest and shouted at King Yuechuan in disbelief, "What have you done! How did you do that?"
King Yuechuan didn't even glance at him.
"Mingyue Li, Yuechuan is not your decision!" Several elders struggled to their feet, sat cross-legged, and focused their minds to regulate their breathing. At the same time, a series of subtle vibrations came from the sky, and countless Gu worms seemed to be pressing down from above. Fist-sized spiders spit out bright venomous silk threads, quickly weaving a giant web around the entire altar. Under the refraction of sunlight, it was so bright that it was almost dazzling.
An even stranger scene unfolded. Lu Yangyang turned around upon hearing the commotion behind her and saw that the members of the Yuechuan royal family, who had been lying on the ground, were all standing up. However, they seemed to have lost their minds and were walking step by step toward the Yuechuan King.
Lu Yangyang quickly pulled out her brand-new Xuan Tie sword and stepped in front of King Yuechuan and Yin Yueling.
King Yuechuan said to Yin Yueling, "Little Yueling, I will teach you the first thing you must do after becoming King Yuechuan: kill gods and Buddhas alike if they stand in your way! Do you understand?"
Yin Yueling didn't understand, but her eyes shone with extreme excitement. Going on a killing spree, this is so much fun!
She'd disliked those old folks for a long time!
Yin Yueling stepped forward, and with her steps, the bells on her body jingled. At the same time, she slightly moved her lips, and the Gu worms commanded by the elders immediately began to stir and fight each other.
The Yuechuan royal family members who rushed to the front suddenly exploded. Only then did Lu Yangyang realize that it was actually the elders who had used Gu worms to control the bodies of these clansmen.
The air was filled with sounds of pain, wailing, and screaming.
King Yuechuan asked Lu Yangyang softly, "Little girl, your time is running out. Did you guess that?"
Lu Yangyang took a light breath, turned around, and looked at Yuechuan King, who was relaxed and smiling. The battlefield around them was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but to Yuechuan King, it was as if he was watching a wonderful drama.
"You never intended to join forces with His Highness to wage war. You simply wanted to destroy the Mingyue Clan with your own hands, to annihilate the entire clan, leaving not a single survivor." Lu Yangyang stared quietly into the eyes of the Yuechuan King. Those eyes, which had been devoid of any warmth, finally softened with a gentle light as he watched the Yuechuan royal family members fall one by one.
