The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 516: The King of Enchanting Bugs is Dead, Weren’t We Brothers at Heart?

Chapter 516: The King of Enchanting Bugs is Dead, Weren’t We Brothers at Heart?

Emperor Muwu’s expression darkened. "It’s already been four days! I can’t wait any longer!"

His ninth brother might be skilled in martial arts, but what did he know about the ways of cultivation and immortality? Trying to rebuild Sixth Lady’s Dantian? What a joke!

He feared that if this went on any longer, her injuries would worsen. Not only might she lose all her power, but her health could deteriorate as well.

He had already made up his mind. Even if Sixth Lady lost her cultivation abilities and could no longer draw talismans, he would still treat her the same. Nothing would change! free𝑤ebnovel.com

"But..." Zhi Mi wanted to speak again.

Emperor Muwu waved his sleeve, giving the order, "All of you, give it a try!"

This "all of you" included Zhi Mi as well.

Zhi Mi sighed softly. The emperor had spoken; what else could he do?

In the end, they were all just too worried about Senior Sister, which was why they were so desperate to break the formation and check on her condition.

He began searching for talismans.

Qi Mu and Chu Yang were already discussing who would take the lead.

Meanwhile, outside the Prince Yu Mansion, Qi Hong was standing in a position where he could see the courtyard of Liuli Pavilion.

His gaze remained fixed on Chu Yan.

But with so much going on in the Chu family lately, and Chu Nanli seriously injured inside the formation, Chu Yan was deeply worried and had no time to pay any attention to him.

"She’s not even his real sister. Why is A’Yuan so concerned?" Qi Hong could see Chu Yan’s tightly furrowed brow, and his heart burned with jealousy.

Just then, a personal guard climbed up to Qi Hong’s location and saluted.

Without turning around, Qi Hong asked, "What did you find?"

"Your Majesty, our informants in Border Nation reported back. They said the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug can only be undone by the King of Enchanting Bugs," the guard reported. "However, two days ago, Fifth Young Master accidentally killed the King of Enchanting Bugs while in the palace!"

Qi Hong whirled around, filled with delight. He grabbed the guard’s shoulders, unable to believe it. "Really?!"

The guard, taken aback by Qi Hong’s unusual excitement, nodded quickly, stuttering, "Yes... yes!"

"Wonderful!" Qi Hong laughed out loud. "Chu Nanli, you once said I wasn’t a true brother to A’Yuan. But now look--if we weren’t truly connected, would the King of Enchanting Bugs have died? And at A’Yuan’s own hands, no less!"

The guard smiled as well. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Honestly, they were all quite pleased that Fifth Young Master had been spending time with the emperor. When His Majesty was around his younger brother, his temper softened, which made things easier for everyone.

Qi Hong’s laughter continued. "Now that the King of Enchanting Bugs is dead and Chu Nanli’s Dantian is shattered, his life hangs in the balance. I will bring A’Yuan back to Qi Nation--who could possibly stop me?"

He returned to the window, his gaze still locked on Chu Yan.

The guard offered a suggestion, "Indeed, Your Majesty. With the current state of Mu Nation, no one can stand in your way. If you threaten the lives of the Chu family or even declare war on Mu Nation, Fifth Young Master will surely submit."

To his surprise, Qi Hong’s face darkened.

A black mist surged forth, and Qi Hong struck the guard across the face. "What a ridiculous idea! If I were to use such means, A’Yuan would rather die in front of me, taking me down with him!"

The guard, terrified, immediately knelt down. "This servant is at fault! But... apart from that, how else can we convince Fifth Young Master to return to Qi Nation with Your Majesty?"

Qi Hong huffed coldly, "Naturally, I will offer A’Yuan what he desires most right now, and with sincerity. He is a grateful person and knows how much I’ve sacrificed. He will certainly spend the rest of his life by my side."

The guard was even more bewildered. "But what Young Master desires most now is for the Ninth Princess to be safe."

His Majesty practiced dark arts and lacked medical expertise--how could he provide what the young master wanted most?

Qi Hong smiled mysteriously.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he continued watching the courtyard. "Let’s see if they can break the formation. The strongest always makes their entrance last."

The guard pursed his lips, rolling his eyes inwardly.

The truth was, His Majesty simply didn’t dare to show himself. If Fifth Young Master found out, their relationship would be exposed, and who knows what might happen.

Back in Liuli Pavilion’s courtyard, the three had finally reached a plan.

Zhi Mi would use a talisman to see if he could tear a small opening in the formation. That way, Qi Mu and Chu Yang would have a better chance of success.

With so many people watching, Zhi Mi couldn’t help but feel nervous.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Chu Ye noticed his anxiety and offered reassurance, "Master Zhi Mi, just do your best."

Zhi Mi turned and smiled slightly. "Of course."

He had been in the Chu family for a long time and had been guided by Senior Sister. Today, he was representing her and had to protect her reputation.

With a serious expression, he took out a talisman and performed a hand seal, sending his power towards the formation.

A fierce wind picked up.

The talisman emitted a golden light, clashing with the barrier of the formation, causing ripples as the symbols inscribed on it began to glow.

The onlookers couldn’t help but be impressed.

It looked like Master Zhi Mi might be able to tear down the formation on his own...

Just as this thought arose, the formation absorbed the golden light, and the talisman, suspended in the air, ignited and was consumed without a trace.

The formation then emitted a red glow that shot straight for Zhi Mi’s vital point!

Qi Mu and Chu Yang reacted swiftly--one slashed through the red light with her blade, while the other pulled Zhi Mi to safety. Their teamwork was impeccable.

Zhi Mi broke out in a cold sweat.

Once stable on his feet, he quickly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Miss Qi, Fourth Young Master."

Qi Mu waved it off, shouldering her treasured blade as she eyed the formation thoughtfully. "This formation is impressive. Not only is it defensive, but it can attack too. Forcing our way through seems impossible."

Chu Yang nodded in agreement. "It certainly looks that way now."

In the distance, Qi Hong smirked.

He donned a black cloak and pulled the hood low over his face, concealing most of his features.

Then, in one swift motion, he leapt from the tower and landed in the courtyard.

"Who goes there?!"

The sudden arrival of a masked figure prompted the imperial guards, along with Chu Hanlin and others, to rush forward to protect Emperor Muwu. "Protect His Majesty!"

"There’s no need to be alarmed," the intruder said calmly. "I happened to pass by and noticed your struggle to break this formation. I thought I’d lend a hand."

Though Emperor Muwu and the others had never seen him before, Qi Hong deliberately lowered his voice.

But Chu Yan, hearing this, instantly turned his head in alarm.

Why was he here? What did he want?!

A cold sweat broke out all over Chu Yan’s body, and his limbs felt icy. He feared that others might recognize Qi Hong.

Emperor Muwu scrutinized the cloaked figure with suspicion. "Who are you? If you won’t reveal your face, how can I trust you to break the formation?"

"Experts often travel incognito," Qi Hong said, glancing briefly at Chu Yan. "I had no intention of getting involved, but since Fifth Young Master and I are fated, I’ve decided to help."

At once, all eyes turned to Chu Yan.

Chu Yan’s face alternated between pale and flushed.

Emperor Muwu asked, "Chu the Fifth, do you know this person? Is he truly an expert?"
