Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The Southern Barbarians' confident and smug laughter abruptly stopped. Their faces still held the expression of laughter, but their pupils suddenly dilated as they stared at the spreading fire.

"That...that fire..."

The southern barbarians stared at the fire, which was not a bright yellow flame, but an unusual color with a hint of dark blue.

Most terrifyingly, wherever those flames passed, the nine-headed Gu gu howled and turned to ashes.

The smile on Lan Yan's face vanished completely. Her eyes widened, and she screamed, "No—!"

These nine-headed gu are the culmination of their many years of hard work.

Lan Yan's face turned pale, and she glared at Ying Yufu with terrifying eyes: "Stop! Stop it now!"

Her commands were given as a matter of course, as if everything here was perfectly justified in Tianjin.

Ying Yufu, the Crown Prince, and the others stared at them coldly, their eyes filled with intense, unyielding anger and murderous intent.

These southern barbarians all deserve to die.

"Stop? Who do you think you are, telling me to stop?" Ying Yufu sneered.

Lan Yan almost lost her mind. The destruction of these nine-headed Gu was simply the destruction of their Southern Barbarians' plans and efforts over the past ten years.

How could she not be anxious?

"Ying Yufu, stop now, or we, the Southern Barbarians, will never let you get away with this!"

Lan Yan threatened fiercely, wanting to step forward to save the nine-headed Gu, but was prevented from getting close by the fire.

"If we're talking about irreconcilable enmity, it should be that my Northern Xuan and your Southern Barbarians are irreconcilable enemies! You used my Northern Xuan Yunzhou as a breeding ground for Gu poison, this hatred will surely be repaid in blood by you Southern Barbarians!" the Crown Prince said calmly from the side.

Lan Yan and the other southern barbarians were filled with pain and despair. The fire spread extremely quickly, and in just a short while, it had burned nearly half of the Nine-Headed Gu.

The remaining stone jars were also burned to ashes by the subterranean fire.

The shelves that held the stone jars were also burned; everything here was destroyed by the fire.

The group of southern barbarians were stunned, their faces filled with hatred and despair as they watched the fire spread.

"Heaven is unjust! Heaven is unjust!"

Why should Bei Xuan have a goddess?

If it weren't for the goddess Ying Yufu, ordinary flames would have been no match for the Nine-Headed Gu, and even the Nine Stars Alignment alone wouldn't have been enough to destroy it.

When these nine-headed gu are fully grown, the Southern Barbarians will have 100,000 puppet soldiers. Taking over the Northern Xuan, conquering the Western Lin, and even destroying the Eastern Chen, becoming the supreme ruler of the world will be no problem.

Such a grand plan has been ruined today.

Lan Yan's face suddenly turned red, and the next moment, she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

She was heartbroken.

She glared at Ying Yufu with hatred.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhou Shichang, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself through meritorious service. Go and take Xin Chou, as well as all the Yunzhou officials involved in this matter, to Caishikou and have them executed by slow slicing."

The truth about the Beast God Cult and the Nine-Headed Gu should be revealed to the world. The people of Yunzhou and the people of the world should all know the truth.

A surge of deep excitement flashed in Zhou Shichang's eyes. He kowtowed heavily and proclaimed, "Your subject obeys the decree!"

He almost shouted himself hoarse, then stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and led his men to the prison.

Lan Yan and the other southern barbarians were horrified upon hearing this.

"Let's go!"

This place is no longer safe. The Nine-Headed Gu has been destroyed, and there's no point in them staying.

"Trying to leave?" The crown prince sneered. "Take them down!"

The Xuefeng Army soldiers, each exuding a murderous aura, surrounded and imprisoned Lan Yan and the others.

Lan Yan's expression changed drastically. "Crown Prince of Beixuan, we are envoys from the Southern Barbarians. Aren't you afraid of treating us like this...?"

"Fear? What's there to be afraid of? I'm going to the Southern Barbarians right now to ask your Southern Barbarian Ancestral Witches how you intend to repay this blood debt for using the people of Yunzhou to refine Gu."

A hint of bloodthirsty killing intent flashed in the prince's eyes.

Lan Yan's face instantly showed panic.

She suddenly realized that the Crown Prince of Beixuan was not afraid of war.

He wanted to avenge this blood debt with the southern barbarians.

Lan Yan's mind went blank for a moment; this was a huge problem!

Not only Lan Yan, but also Xuan Feng, Wu Tu Su and others standing to the side were blank-faced.

How did things get to this point?

All the men in black robes at the scene were killed. The nine-headed gu inside the puppet soldier was suppressed by the earth fire, and the puppet soldier instantly disintegrated, returning to its original appearance.

They are all people from Yunzhou.

"Have their families claim the bodies, and the victims' families should provide compensation," the Crown Prince ordered.

Wushuang personally took care of this matter.

Only now did the waiter, his face deathly pale, come to his senses. He walked to Ying Yufu's side and whispered, "Master!"

Ying Yufu looked at him, and the waiter said, "Master, I am a waiter from Longfu Inn. Today we discovered that a caravan from the Mu Family Trading Company was captured by the Southern Barbarians, enslaved and abused, and even put on dog leashes. The manager knows you are in Yunzhou City, so I came to report this..."

Ying Yufu's face darkened. She knew without a doubt who was behind the abuse of the Mu family business.

However, Ying Hengzhi did not come to the Provincial Administration Office with Lan Yan and the others; she should still be at the inn.

"Flying Tigers, listen to my command," Ying Yufu said.

Yu Li and the rest of the Flying Tigers immediately rushed over.

Ying Yufu said, "Come with me to Longfu Inn."

"Yes, sir," the Flying Tigers replied.

The Crown Prince, unusually, did not accompany Ying Yufu; he stayed at the yamen to handle the follow-up matters.

At Longfu Inn, Ying Hengzhi was unaware that Lan Yan and the others had been arrested. She was forcing Mu Chong and his son Mu Ying to kneel down and bark like dogs.

Mu Ying's leg was broken and twisted on the ground. The boy's face was deathly pale, and large beads of cold sweat kept sliding down his face.

Mu Chong's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Ying Hengzhi: "You vixen, you'll die a horrible death!"

Ying Hengzhi watched their pain and rage with a smile. "A terrible death? Hahaha, I'll make you wish you were dead right now..."

[Host, something terrible has happened!]

System 008's voice suddenly screamed in Ying Hengzhi's mind.

Ying Hengzhi was startled. Even 008 was so agitated; something serious must have happened.

[Myna bird, what happened?]

Ying Hengzhi quickly asked.

Lan Yan and the others have been arrested. The Southern Barbarians' practice of refining the Nine-Headed Gu at the Yunzhou Provincial Administration Office has been exposed. Those Southern Barbarians are finished.

Upon hearing this, Ying Hengzhi's face turned ashen. She had just found a powerful backer!

008 continued: "That's not all. This inn is also owned by the Mu Clan. The waiter has already informed Ying Yufu that you've captured a member of the Mu Clan. Ying Yufu is now leading the Flying Tiger Army upstairs!"

"What?!" Ying Hengzhi screamed, her face turning completely pale.

Mu Chong and Mu Ying were puzzled as to why Ying Hengzhi's expression suddenly turned so unpleasant.

All they heard outside were screams and the sound of rushing footsteps.

They couldn't tell whose screams were coming from, but their intuition told them that the screams definitely weren't from their own people.

Hearing the screams outside, Ying Hengzhi's eyes instantly showed panic; she was somewhat afraid of Ying Yufu.

She had been slapped too many times by Ying Yufu and was afraid.

Just as she was thinking this, her room door was kicked open with a bang, and a group of Flying Tigers soldiers rushed in menacingly.

Then, Ying Yufu, the waiter, and the innkeeper walked in together.
