Chapter 3141 Shen Tianyu 541

Shen Tianyu leaped upstairs to check if there were any survivors.

They discovered that all the archers were unconscious.

Those who were lucky enough to escape the poisoned needles had already fled.

The upper floor was littered with dead and injured.

This truly reflects the saying, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

However, Jisha Jiren did not achieve great success.

Because it was these people who made the move.

Shen Tianyu jumped down from the building to untie the ropes binding Bai Ji.

Yuan Jinzhi took the initiative, pulled a sharp dagger from his pocket, walked up to Bai Ji, and cut the ropes binding her.

Shen Tianyu looked down at her jealous expression and a smile played on his lips.

He liked how much she cared about him.

The stronger the vinegar, the better.

He didn't feel suffocated; on the contrary, he felt quite pleased.

Yuan Jinzhi cut the ropes binding Bai Ji.

Bai Ji flexed her wrists, roughly wiped the burnt stubble from her head, and said to Yuan Jinzhi, "Thank you."

Yuan Jinzhi smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Bai Ji then looked at Shen Tianyu and said, "You are fortunate to have such a wife."

Shen Tianyu nodded in agreement.

He felt that the woman had matured a lot after this incident, and saying that made him happier than praising him.

He took a bottle of special burn ointment out of his pocket and tossed it to her, saying, "Apply this to your burns."

Bai Ji caught it and unscrewed the cork.

My scalp is burned and it hurts terribly.

Her most cherished hair had been burned off, but it didn't matter anymore.

She is still alive.

Nothing is more important than being alive.

She poured out the ointment and, enduring the pain, applied it to her scalp.

After wiping, she walked up to Ji Sha.

Ji Sha's head was split open, covered in blood, and his brains were splattered out. His eyes were wide open, and his face still held a look of shock, as if he couldn't believe that he was dead.

He died so quickly.

This shouldn't be his fate.

Bai Ji kicked him in the head several times, cursing, "You damned Ji Sha, you tricked me! You useless piece of trash, how dare you rebel like this!"

Thinking of the humiliation she had just suffered, she kicked him several more times before stopping.

Looking up at the building, her eyes were dark and deep, revealing a profound sense of compassion for humanity.

After a long silence, she suddenly sighed softly, "How innocent were those who died? They were all citizens of my Fengxu Palace, yet they were incited by Ji Sha and sacrificed their lives. After this battle, Fengxu Palace will probably need decades to recover before it can regain its former prosperity. Back then, our ancestor hid in this blessed land to avoid the flames of war, but we never expected that we would still be affected by the civil war."

She lowered her head and whispered, "I used to look down on Gu Chuchu, but now I realize that she is the happiest person."

Thinking of Sheng Po, she felt a pang of regret.

However, as the daughter of the Palace Master of Fengxu Palace, she was destined to let go of that person and find a man who could assist her in achieving the Palace Master's hegemony. She could no longer act willfully based on her own preferences.

If it weren't for her willfulness, her father, Ji Ren, would still have rebelled.

But it won't rebound so quickly.

When she looked up again, the spoiled air on her face had faded.

In what seemed like a short period of time, she underwent a complete transformation and matured by more than ten years.

Yuan Jinzhi said, "Your mother is injured. Come with me to see your mother."

Upon hearing that her mother was injured, Bai Ji did not cry.

Normally, she would have already burst into tears.

But after this experience, she realized that crying was the most useless thing to do.

She no longer had the right to cry. Her beloved father had rebelled, and her grandmother had rebelled too. They wanted to kill her and her mother.

She straightened her clothes and returned to the palace with Yuan Jinzhi and Shen Tianyu.

Ji Mo is dead.

In this world, the victor is king and the loser is villain. For the loser, there is only one path: death.

Ji Mo's corpse lay across the magnificent main hall, a stark contrast to the opulent palace.

Her body had shrunk by a third, her fingers were black, her face and skin were also black, her clothes were blown apart, her hair was singed, and her whole body was as thin and dry as charcoal, a tiny stalk.

That face was unbearable to look at.

It is eerie and terrifying, like a ghost from hell, to the point that anyone who sees it once will have nightmares for the rest of their life.

Bai Ji stared blankly at the charcoal-like corpse for a long time.

It's hard to imagine that this is her loving grandmother.

Yes, Ji Mo was aloof, but she loved her very much.

Wuya Zi stepped forward to Bai Feng to claim credit: "After this old hag transformed, her power increased greatly, and she was completely unlike a normal person. It took the combined efforts of top experts like Mao Jun Zhenren, Dugu Cheng, and the young master Jing Hong to subdue her. In the end, I was the one who triggered the mountain thunder and blew her to death. My contribution is the greatest."

It was Dugu Cheng who triggered the lightning.

However, Dugu Cheng was always aloof and too lazy to prove himself.

He didn't care about these mundane things.

He only hoped that Bai Feng could give the dragon scales and phoenix feathers to Shen Tianyu so that he and Yuan Jinzhi could have a son or daughter and fulfill their wish.

Bai Feng thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior. I will definitely repay you."

Wuya Zi chuckled, his heart bubbling with joy. He wanted the Dragon Binding Rope first, then the Treasure Pouch, the Three Pure Ones Bell, the Dharma Seal, the Command Flag, the Dharma Array, the Vajra Bracelet, and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

He had been eyeing these treasures for a long time.

Jing Hong couldn't stand it anymore.

He raised his voice and said, "Senior Wuya Zi, it was clearly Senior Dugu who drew the mountain lightning in the end, so how come you are credited the most?"

Wu Yazi retorted, "If it weren't for the three of us fighting that Ji Mo for so long and exhausting her power, no matter how many mountain thunders Dugu summoned, he wouldn't have been able to kill her!"

Jing Hong said, "No matter what, whoever killed Ji Mo deserves the most credit, and Senior Dugu deserves the most credit!"

He looked at Bai Feng, "Senior Bai, if we're talking about rewarding merit, it should be Senior Dugu who suggested it first, right?"

Bai Feng nodded.

She struggled to sit up and looked at Dugu Cheng.

Only then did he realize that he was not a white-haired old Taoist like Wuya Zi or Mao Jun Zhenren.

Although he had some gray hairs mixed in with his black hair, he was quite handsome, with a quiet and aloof kind of handsomeness, and a restrained and introverted spirit.

There are wrinkles on her face.

But his wrinkles don't make him look old; instead, they give him a unique charm.

He was a silent, handsome, solitary, and reclusive master.

Bai Feng stared at his handsome and aloof face, and a thought began to form in her mind.

When she spoke again, her voice carried a hint of gentleness that was barely perceptible, "Dugu, tell me what you want first. As long as you want any of the treasures in Fengxu Palace, I can give you them."

Dugu Cheng found her way of addressing him rather strange.

Judging from Bai Ji's age, she should be in her forties, and he must be at least thirty years older than her.

She should have addressed him as Senior Dugu, using the formal "you" instead of "you".

Dugu Cheng said, "Please give those dragon scales and phoenix feathers to my disciple Tianyu."

Bai Feng smiled slightly, "That will naturally be given to you, but you can ask for something else."

Dugu Cheng was not a greedy person, and immediately refused: "No need."

Bai Feng asked in surprise, "Why?"

Dugu Cheng remained silent.

It was truly difficult for her, a woman, to support such a vast palace as Fengxu Palace.

Those treasures were her weapons; he had no need to take what she loved away.

Bai Feng lowered her eyelashes and softened her voice, "I wonder if you, Dugu, have a family?"
