Chapter 115: The Eight-Legged Demon Bee Clears the Way

The leader of the Shadow Guards immediately introduced, "These are the Sovereign and Queen of my kingdom! Emperor Mu, if you kneel and beg for mercy, you may died with your corpse intact."

Emperor Mu’s face turned cold. How could he succumb to such humiliation! Meanwhile, Ye Chengbo was both angry and annoyed, "Xuanyuan Cang! How could you be so audacious as to breach the bridge and destroy the formation? Without my search for the key of the formation, could you have brought these monsters into my Mu Nation’s palace?!"

"Yes, you are somewhat useful," Xuanyuan Cang sneered with a handsome face, "So, I shall grant you a moment of satisfaction."

As soon as his words fell, he snapped his fingers.

The Eight-Legged Demon Bee immediately flew over.

Although he claimed to grant a moment of satisfaction, more than ten demon bees landed on his exposed skin, their sharp stingers ruthlessly piercing into him.

Ye Chengbo screamed in agony.

The toxins spread through his body from the wounds, causing his purple veins to bulge, presenting a horrifying sight.

He writhed on the ground, attempting to alleviate the pain. But it was in vain.

The agonizing screams attracted the ministers in the hall to come and witness, but after just one glance, their scalps went numb.

Emperor Mu lamented, "Xuanyuan Cang! Why dost you torment people in such a manner!"

Even if Ye Chengbo had invited trouble, he was still his own son!

He only had two sons!

"Emperor Mu, he was disloyal and unjust. I killed him. Shouldn’t you be pleased?" Xuanyuan Cang said in a slow voice.

He intentionally had the Eight-Legged Demon Bee release less poison, tormenting Ye Chengbo thoroughly, to open everyone’s eyes.

Soon, someone couldn’t bear it any longer and wanted to kneel and beg for mercy.

However, in the next moment, a cold light flashed.

It was Ye Siheng, who broke a long sword and shot the sharp half-blade, piercing Ye Chengbo’s heart pulse!

Ye Chengbo groaned, dragging his heavy body to look ahead.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes as he mustered his last strength and said, "Father, I’m sorry... Uncle..."

Thank you.

Let me end this pain.

Then, he ceased to breathe.

Emperor Mu witnessed his son’s last breath, his body swaying, nearly fainting.

Empress Xie and the chief eunuch exclaimed, supporting him.

Emperor Mu’s vision darkened slightly, but he had to hold on.

He was the Emperor of the Mu Nation!

"Ye Siheng!" Xuanyuan Cang, infuriated by his interference, gritted his teeth and called out his name.

Ye Siheng stood there, without fear or nervousness on his face.

His gaze swept towards Xuanyuan Qingyue beside him and said, "I heard that the Sovereign is over twenty years old and has had no concubines in the harem. But recently, he suddenly appointed a queen. I never expected that the Sovereign would have feelings for his own aunt and keep the position for her until she returns."

Emperor Mu was stunned, and the Mu Nation’s ministers were also astonished.

Regaining his composure, Emperor Mu finally recognized the person, "How could she resemble that accompanying female official?"

Xuanyuan Qingyue’s expression changed.

Before she could speak, Ye Siheng preemptively said, "Imperial Brother, you can not call her an accompanying female official. She is the true princess of the Jiang kingdom. Now, she has changed her vessel and shed all taboos to become the queen of the Jiang kingdom."

Emperor Mu was dumbfounded.

Had his niece become his wife?

"That’s not right. Didst you not say that Xuanyuan Qingyue had already died? How could she change her vessel again?" Emperor Mu asked.

Ye Siheng explained, "A’Li mentioned that they possess a treasure that seems to be able to gather souls. Once the souls are gathered, they can seize another body. Although they will suffer some pain on the night of the full moon, being able to inhabit another person’s body and live on, what harm is a little suffering?"

Everyone felt their horizons expand upon hearing this.

Chu Hanlin frowned, "I never expected that body possession truly exists in this world."

Ye Siheng stared expressionlessly at the "aunt and nephew" pair and said, "The Jiang kingdom’s founding emperor was originally a cultivator, so the members of the royal family possess formidable witchcraft skills and control some forbidden arts. It is quite common for them, such as... changing one’s fate by switching bodies."

Xuanyuan Qingyue sneered, "It seems you have figured it out. Indeed, I foresaw that a child with a purple aura would be born into the imperial Ye family, which is why my Jiang kingdom formed a marital alliance with your Mu Nation."

Being of noble status, she would never become a concubine to the Emperor of Mu. Therefore, she selected the most beautiful palace maid by her side and disguised her as a princess marrying into Mu.

But who could have known that the child, with an auspicious destiny and a strong aura, adorned with the purple haze of royalty, would be born from the palace maid?

This worked out perfectly, as it made her actions more convenient.

Ye Siheng raised an eyebrow, staring at Xuanyuan Cang, "Although the Jiang royal family possesses profound witchcraft and sorcery, this art not only harms others but also damages oneself. That is why your Xuanyuan lineage has a tendency for early death and struggles to survive. In your generation, you are the only surviving descendant. If it weren’t for exchanging your destiny with mine, you would have long gone to meet the King of the Underworld."

Xuanyuan Cang’s face turned cold.

Indeed, Ye Siheng was the most powerful figure in Mu, having quickly unraveled the cause and effect within a short period of time.

Yes, when he was four years old, he fell seriously ill, with only a few years left to live. It was his aunt who willingly sacrificed herself, infiltrating Mu, seeking an opportunity to forcibly exchange his destiny with Ye Siheng’s, allowing him to survive.

"You are right," Xuanyuan Cang smirked, "The only thing I didn’t anticipate was that you could change this destined early death. Now, you possess the purple aura and an unparalleled nobility."

"In that case, why are you here to welcome your death?" Ye Siheng retorted.

"What?" Xuanyuan Cang burst into laughter as if he had heard a great joke, "Welcome my death? Ye Siheng, are you blind? Chu Nanli is currently in Luoyang. Without her, how can you withstand my demonic bees?"

"I am here!" Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the crowd.

It was Xie Beihan.

With a peach wood sword in one hand and talismans in the other, his expression resolute, he appeared dependable and steadfast.

"I once studied Daoist arts under the Sixth Princess. Your Majesty, Aunt, Beihan is here to protect you!"

Emperor Muwu was initially taken aback, but then his eyes welled up with tears.

"Beihan, you are truly a good child."

Unexpectedly, Xie Beihan, who had always been carefree, stood up at this critical moment!

Xuanyuan Cang coldly snorted, "Then I’ll kill you first!"

He blew a whistle, and the eight-legged demonic bees, upon hearing their master’s command, flew forward aggressively.

They had only one target: Xie Beihan!

Xie Beihan remained calm, throwing a few fire talismans.

Boom—

However, the talismans exploded, only momentarily impeding the demonic bees. They were completely immune to fire and water!

Seeing the demonic bees approaching, Xie Beihan panicked, trying to retrieve more talismans, but he became flustered, scattering the talismans all over the ground.

"...," Emperor Muwu’s mouth twitched, rendered speechless.

No wonder the Sixth Miss refused to accept him as her disciple back then.

Even the Chu family members rolled their eyes; this was truly embarrassing for Chu Nanli’s reputation.

"Ah, ah, ah—!" Xie Beihan cried out in terror, "Help! Don’t sting me!"

The demonic bees were about to sting him!

However, Ye Siheng stepped forward, performing a sacred talisman with his hand.

This talisman was different from Xie Beihan’s, fierce and powerful!
