Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 239 Seeking power and usurping the throne
Wuzhan said: "If I hadn't said that, they wouldn't be so eager to assassinate Your Majesty and be exposed so quickly."

Meng Ya had to admit that Wu Zhan's lie changed the situation. Not only did she not have to refute You Lan's false testimony, but she also disrupted Mu Chunbo's plan. It was a very sharp and intelligent statement, but she said, "You are such a big liar!"

Mu Chunbo had never thought that Liu Rong could still fight against her even though she was poisoned. She was anxious. If she delayed for a while longer, if Li Manfang woke up, the whole plan would be ruined. She took a few steps back and saw that all the high-ranking people in the palace were already guarding the pool. They were obviously on the side of Elder Liu. She thought that she had to do something drastic and shouted to Bai Ling and others, "Guard the palace gate!"

Bai Ling and Captain Ye understood what he meant. They threw the bullets and retreated to the palace gate with the guards. They took out wet gauze and covered their mouths and noses with it. "Puff puff..." The bullets they threw made a sound on the ground and emitted thick black smoke.

Liu Rong glanced at the black smoke rising around him and said to Mu Chunbo coldly, "It turns out you are the one who led Xiao Yuzhen here to assassinate His Majesty!"

Mu Chunbo said: "Yes, it's not too late for you to join us now!"

Meng Ya cursed: "The Queen Mother values ​​you so much, yet you actually did such a thing, you are worse than an animal!"

Mu Chunbo laughed and said, "She values ​​me because she is immersed in martial arts and does not care about worldly affairs, while I am smart and capable, and I know how to govern a country. If she doesn't value me, who would she value?"

Liu Rong said: "You think too highly of yourself. Without you, we in Yuechang can still live a comfortable life."

Mu Chunbo said, "A comfortable life? If you walk out of Yuxiang Valley, you will find out how ignorant and backward we Yuechang are. For hundreds of years, we have been like frogs at the bottom of a well, and the outside world has only regarded us as wild monkeys in the trees."

Elder Feng said: "If life outside is good, you can go out and don't have to come back!"

"Not coming back? Apart from the princess, do you still want to live if you don't come back?"

Liu Rong said: "This is the rule set by our ancestors. Even Your Majesty has no right to change it!"

At this time, thick smoke had spread, and flying poisonous insects fell to the ground one after another. The flowers and plants in the bedroom withered quickly, which showed how strong the toxicity was. Several guards had collapsed to the ground, and several others rushed to the palace gate and were killed by Captain Ye and others.

Mu Chunbo said: "The ancestors are not gods. The rules they set are already outdated. If you stick to the old rules, you will only bring about your own destruction. How many people in Yuechang are still giving birth? After a hundred years, how many people will be left in Yuechang?"

Liu Rong had to admit the fact that Yuechang's population was shrinking rapidly because the outside world was afraid of Yuechang and dared not get close to them, and the time they had been out of the valley was short, making it difficult to get pregnant.

Elder Feng slumped on the ground and said, "If you want to change the law, just bring it up. If it's reasonable, we can ask His Majesty for instructions. But you are so ambitious that you actually did such a treasonous thing."

Mu Chunbo sneered, "Do you think she will listen? How has she ever cared about the people of Yuechang? If she could listen, she would have changed 20 years ago. How could she be here today?"

Meng Ya asked: "Do you think that if you do this, the people of Yuechang will obey you?"

Mu Chunbo said, "As long as the law is right, who would not obey? Do you think the people of Yuechang believe in her? Do you know that every time the 'honey-collecting' period is over, they all leave the man's arms with tears in their eyes? People are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless!" He glanced at Wuzhan and continued to Mengya, "Aren't you experiencing this feeling now? If she wakes up, can Mr. Li still leave Yuxiang Valley alive? Then you will understand what heartache and loss are."

Liu Rong snorted coldly: "Love is the root of all evil and corrupts the world. Only by abandoning it can we return to nature."

Mu Chunbo said angrily: "If a person does not have love, what is the difference between him and an animal? You old stubborn man have never left Yuxiang Valley in your life, how can you know what is corruption and what is nature!"

Liu Rong said, "Although I have never left, I know that the world outside is not peaceful, and that kind of life is not what I want. And you have been out there, corrupted by the world, and have lost yourself. Now you are committing adultery and trying to usurp the throne. Such a thing has never happened in Yuechang. I will kill you today!" As he said that, he stood up in anger, and his crutch rolled up a dazzling black light and slashed towards Mu Chunbo.

Mu Chunbo was not in a hurry, he raised his dagger and went forward to meet the attack. Although Liu Rong's cane was fierce, it lacked stamina, obviously due to the inhalation of poisonous smoke. The weapons collided, and the cane was easily shaken away by Mu Chunbo's dagger. Before Liu Rong could make the next move, Mu Chunbo's fingers stretched out more than a foot, dark red like a knife, and grabbed towards her face with a cold wind.

Liu Rong was shocked and said, "Moon Wheel Soul-Grabbing Claw!" He hurriedly used his staff to defend himself. With a "crack", the iron staff was actually broken by Mu Chunbo's bloody fingers. At the same time, Mu Chunbo's dagger advanced and pierced Liu Rong's chest.

Liu Rong's body was almost broken, he could not withstand the sword, he just moved half a body to the right, the short sword slashed across his ribs, blood flowed out immediately.

"Elder Liu!" Meng Ya shouted anxiously, wanting to rush forward and fight desperately, but her body swayed and she fell to the ground.

Mu Chunbo stabbed Liu Rong, but was not in a hurry to attack. He said in a cold voice: "Since you know that I have mastered the 'Moon Wheel Soul-Grabbing Claw', you should also know that today is the day you will die."

Liu Rong covered the wound, feeling the severe pain in his heart. He took a few steps back and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you secretly practice the Yuechang secret method!"

Mu Chunbo smiled and said, "Now that you know, what can you do to me?"

Liu Rong spat out a blood mist with a "puff" sound, and the poison had already penetrated into his lungs.

Meng Ya said sternly: "You can't succeed while I'm here!"

Princess Mu Chunbo sneered, "What can you do with you here? You are now a sinner of adultery and matricide. You are no longer a princess. Who will listen to you?" Seeing this, several other powerful people crawled towards Mu Chunbo, knelt down and worshipped her as queen.

In a rage, Meng Ya said to Wuzhan beside her: "Sir, please help me kill these traitors!" Because at this time only Wuzhan could still stand after inhaling the poisonous smoke without any abnormality, and only he might be able to change this situation.

Wuzhan didn't move. He looked at the blood-red crescent moon on Mu Chunbo's forehead and said, "The princess thinks too highly of me. It's hard for me to escape now." Mengya sighed, "Then run away!"

Mu Chunbo put away his dagger and said with a smile: "Want to escape? None of you can escape. You all have to stay here and be buried with Li Manfang!" As he spoke, he grabbed the head of a man kneeling in front of him with his bloody claws. The man wailed and shrivelled to the ground in an instant.

The rest of the people were so scared that they quickly retreated and begged for mercy. Mu Chunbo slowly stepped forward and struck them with a few claws, leaving no one alive.

Wuzhan watched Mu Chunbo killing people and said calmly, "I am curious now. I wonder how Elder Mu plans to change things after becoming the queen?"

Mu Chunbo said: "Of course, we will break the old rules, expand outward, and make all the men in the world become my slaves!"

"It's a bold idea, and perhaps only you can come up with it. However, men and women should be treated equally, and no one should be a slave. I'm afraid your idea will fail."

Mu Chunbo said: "If the Yuechang people want to leave the valley, who would dare to provoke them? Not to mention the Baiyue in southern Xinjiang, even if it is your Qin State, we can destroy it in an instant!"

"This is what Yu Sisi told you, right? She loves to fantasize, but she never expected to find someone who loves to listen to fantasies, and actually instigated you to kill your master and usurp the throne, and plot with them to take over the world. It's really ridiculous."

Mu Chunbo ignored Wuzhan's words, glanced at Li Manfang who was completely out of breath, and said excitedly: "Twenty years ago, I wanted to kill her, but at that time I was no match for this lonely woman. My sword could only stab the one I loved, sealing that short-lived sweetness deep in my heart. I hated being born in Yuechang and being deprived of all my youth and happiness. Since then, I vowed to kill her and become the Queen of Yuechang, so that those who owed me will pay double!"

Wuzhan remained silent. He had experienced that kind of pain himself, so how could those people not bear a grudge against him?

Elder Feng said angrily, "Your Majesty also cut off the ties of love with his own hands. This is the law of my Yuechang. As a Yuechang person, this is what you should do."

Mu Chunbo pointed at Li Manfang and laughed, "She cut off her love? Haha, that's because that man betrayed her and she was unwilling to stay here for the rest of her life and become her male lover. If she cut off her love, why did she give birth to Mengya!" He paused and said, "Although Yueshang allows the queen to keep male lovers, there has never been a man willing to stay in history. How many men are willing to stay in this damn place and wait to die?" Xiang Wuzhan asked contemptuously, "Mr. Li, are you willing to stay here for Mengya?"

Yue Chang has no son, so she is very indifferent to the word "father" and does not have too many feelings. She does not feel hatred when she heard that her father was killed by her mother, but everyone has feelings. Meng Ya is at this age. Although she has not thought about this question, when Mu Chunbo asked her, she was looking forward to Wuzhan's answer.

Wuzhan said: "The princess has no interest in me, and it is impossible for her to keep me here, but I think if the princess meets someone she likes, that person will definitely stay for her. In fact, the world outside is not as good as Elder Mu imagined. The scenery here is beautiful and isolated from the world, which is indeed good."

Meng Ya heard this polite refusal. Although she was facing a powerful enemy, she felt inexplicably disappointed. She thought to herself: "What good is there for an ugly person like you? You want to stay here, but I may not agree!"

Mu Chunbo walked towards Wuzhan leisurely and said, "Sir, you are really good at talking. No wonder you have gained Ying Zheng's trust. But it's a pity. I promised Sisi that I would never let you live. You should blame yourself. Who asked you to enter Yuxiang Valley?"

Wuzhan said: "Since I dare to come here, I am not here to die."

Mu Chunbo looked at Wuzhan and said, "I don't know what method you used to resist this poison gas, but if you want to escape from my hands, do you think it is still possible?"

"It's not just possible, we can definitely leave here!" Before he finished speaking, Wuzhan rushed towards the palace gate at a very fast speed.

Bai Ling, who was standing at the door, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I can deal with this kid without your help, sister!" The long blue gauze sleeves danced, rolling towards Wuzhan like flowing light.

Wuzhan flew up, stepped on the blue gauze, and rushed towards Bai Ling as if he were walking on flat ground. Bai Ling was shocked and hurriedly pulled the blue gauze to wrap Wuzhan, but it was too late. Wuzhan was already above her head. Bai Ling casually threw several poison darts at Wuzhan.

Wuzhan's feet flew into the air and kicked the poison dart towards the crowd. Before he landed on the ground, several guards were hit by the poison darts and fell down. Captain Ye saw the opportunity and swung his bone spur towards Wuzhan. Wuzhan's body rolled forward and dodged the blow. He grabbed the gauze on the face of the fallen man and jumped up, barely avoiding the long sleeves that Bai Ling hit him from behind. He grabbed the long sleeves with one hand and pulled hard. Bai Ling rushed towards Wuzhan. In desperation, the blue gauze was broken and her body flew back. Captain Ye and the guards around him surrounded him. Wuzhan used the remaining force of the broken gauze to sweep around. With a few "bangs", several more people fell to the ground. Before the rest of them could figure out how to attack, Wuzhan had already rushed into the crowd. It was unknown what kind of body skills Wuzhan used, but after a few shuttles, the gauze on the faces of more than a dozen people fell into Wuzhan's hands. The movements were difficult to see with the naked eye.

More than a dozen people held their breath to grab her, Wuzhan had already jumped to the palace gate, only to hear Mu Chunbo shouting loudly: "If you leave here, I will kill her!" He had already grabbed Mengya's head with one claw, believing that Wuzhan would definitely come back to rescue her.

But Wuzhan seemed not to hear him. He rushed out without even looking back, leaving Mengya disappointed for some reason. Mu Chunbo shouted, "This is a man. Don't let him get away!" He pushed Mengya away and followed Bai Ling towards the palace gate. Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he stopped, turned around, opened his paws, stared at Li Manfang in the pool, and walked steadily towards him.

Meng Ya asked, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Chunbo smiled and said, "Is there any need to ask? Of course, kill her first!"

Liu Rong shouted, "I will fight you to death!" He flew up angrily and slapped Mu Chunbo with his palm.

Mu Chunbo reached back and grabbed Liu Rong's entire arm with one claw, lifted it up, and said with a smile: "If you want to die, it won't be that easy!"

Liu Rong said fiercely: "Dream on!" As soon as the words fell, his whole body suddenly swelled. Mu Chunbo did not expect that Liu Rong would choose to burn himself. Seeing that things were not good, he hurriedly shook off Liu Rong and flew backwards. With a "bang", Liu Rong's body exploded, and blood mist flew out. Mu Chunbo danced with his claws to resist the poisonous blood. Although his skin was not injured, the pink gauze on his body was splashed with a lot of blood drops, and it quickly rotted into holes, looking quite embarrassed.

Mu Chunbo cursed angrily: "You old man, even dead you are disgusting!"

Meng Ya was heartbroken when she saw Liu Rong's death, and she cried out in tears, "Elder Liu!" But she thought that she was about to die, and no one could stop Mu Chunbo from usurping the throne, so she was filled with grief and indignation.
