The brocade box landed in King Ron’s hands, feeling heavy. After hesitating for a moment, King Ron opened the box. The next moment, the familiar face of Ashby reflected in King Ron’s pupils!
There was no blood!
Before returning to the capital, the King of Night had ordered Ashby’s head to be cleaned. Now it was clean, like a piece of art, like a plaster mold!
Plaster!
Indeed, like plaster, Ashby’s face was pale!
Horribly white!
From Ashby’s twisted features, one could still vaguely see the complex expression of anger, pain, despair, helplessness, and unwillingness that he had before his death!
Ashby’s eyes were still open! His pupils had already dilated! The lifeless eyes were like the deathly gaze from the underworld, making even King Ron feel uncomfortable with a single glance!
This! This was King Ron’s son! His own son!
But in King Ron’s scheme, he was torn to pieces by Sean, leaving only this lonely head!
Splash! Sean resurfaced once again, having taken two hits from King Ron. The already severely injured Sean was now somewhat exhausted, but seeing the scene of King Ron and Ashby’s “father-son reunion”, he couldn’t help but speak.
“Are you satisfied with the grand gift I prepared for you?”
“You used my hands!”
“To kill your own son!”
“I even left you a head as a memento, you should thank me!”
As expected! Without looking back, King Ron slapped out a third time, which was heavier than the previous two. After being hit into the bottom of the pool by this palm, Sean couldn’t stand up for a long time!
“Your Majesty!”
The King of Night reminded him, “Sean’s bloodline is very special, his recovery ability can be called astonishing. Overnight, he might be able to recover some of his combat power!”
“We must be careful!”
Then! The King of Night recounted the incident of Sean injuring Earl Woods to King Ron!
“Oh?”
“Is that so?”
King Ron snorted coldly, “No problem, I would like to see how much he can recover under my watch!”
“Moreover!”
“What I want to refine tomorrow is not only his Qi and blood, but also the bright energy in his core!”
“So!”
“Let him recover as much as he wants, all his efforts can only serve as my wedding dress!”
With these words! King Ron spoke confidently!
Sean was seriously injured and exhausted, bound by cold iron shackles, and had the support of the Soul Devouring Formation. Besides, King Ron was naturally stronger than Sean, he couldn’t think of any tricks Sean could pull!
After speaking! King Ron reached out and took Ashby’s head out of the crimson brocade box, and said in a deep voice, “Ashby, the blood flowing in your body is the lineage I passed on to you!”
“Now!”
“You are dead!”
“So give me back the little bit of bloodline I passed on to you!”
Without any hesitation, King Ron directly threw Ashby’s head into the sacrificial blood pool beside him. The originally clean head was immediately swallowed by the rolling blood water!
Seeing this! Even the stoic King of Night couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart!
King Ron! When he gets ruthless, he doesn’t even recognize his own kin…
…
At that time!
In a building on the east side of the imperial city!
Earl Woods sat cross-legged on the sofa, like an old monk in meditation, his eyes closed, his eyebrows furrowed, fine beads of sweat seeping out on his forehead, his neck veins faintly visible, clenching his teeth as if enduring great pain!
And around him! The twenty members of the North Kingdom delegation were silent, their faces full of worry!
Time! Every second passed! About twenty minutes had gone by!
Suddenly, without any sign, Earl Woods spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood. His whole body shivered violently, almost falling off the sofa!
“General Woods!”
“General Woods!”
“General Woods!”
Fortunately, the quick-reacting members of the North Kingdom delegation immediately stepped forward to support Earl Woods, asking, “How are you?”
“Are you okay?”
“This…”
“How could this happen?”
“Ever since General Woods came to the capital, he has always been with us. We are safe and sound, but he is severely poisoned???”
These people! Every one of them was a Complete Stage cultivator. Seeing the black blood that Earl Woods spat out, they naturally understood that Earl Woods had been poisoned!
And! The poison was incredibly potent!!!
Unthinkable! Everyone couldn’t understand when and how Earl Woods had been poisoned!!!
After forcing the black poison blood out of his body, Earl Woods looked like he had just fought a big battle, panting heavily. It took several minutes for his gloomy faceto gradually improve and his breath to slowly stabilize.
Then! Earl Woods lifted his head and gritted his teeth, “It was Sean!”
“It was that damn Sean!”
“It was him!”
“I was poisoned by him!!!”
As he spoke! Earl Woods’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, his teeth itching with anger. Having been conspired against and injured in front of so many people by Sean who was like a vegetative person was one thing!
At that time! Under Sean’s punch, Earl Woods only felt his internal organs churning, but he had no idea that he had been poisoned!
But! Afterward! Nearly half an hour later, the poison began to take effect!!!
“Sean???”
“This…”
Hearing Earl Woods’s answer, those members of the North Kingdom delegation were all taken aback, looking at each other, all showing incredible shock. Without hesitation, they shook their heads and said, “General Woods, are you mistaken?”
“How could it be Sean?”
“Sean is now like a waste, his attack on General Woods was a long-planned, after a whole day’s recovery, he had no strength to fight back after one hit!”
“Even!”
“He couldn’t stand up!”
“And!”
“At that time, Eliott Garner stood between General Woods and Sean, you never had contact, how could he poison General Woods across Eliott Garner???”
For a moment! Everyone was talking!
However! Everyone was contradicting Earl Woods, after all, they had always followed Earl Woods and witnessed the whole process. It was clear to anyone with eyes that Sean definitely had no chance to poison Earl Woods!
This! This didn’t make sense, nor did it match their understanding!
“It’s him!”
“It’s him!”
“There’s absolutely no mistake!!!”
Earl Woods’s tone was unusually firm. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, “Just because I didn’t have physical contact with him doesn’t mean he couldn’t poison me!”
“For example!”
“That punch he threw at me!”
“If I’m not mistaken!”
“His bright energy!”
“It’s poisonous!”
“I took a punch from him, his bright energy invaded my body, causing me to fall into his trap without knowing it!!!”
Hearing this! The members of the North Kingdom delegation around looked at each other. One by one, their already wide eyes became even wider, like cow’s eyes, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out!
Bright energy???
Poison???
Such an absurd statement, if it wasn’t coming from Earl Woods’s mouth, but from someone else, they would definitely scoff and regard the speaker as a complete fool!
Damn!
Are you sick?
Is your brain rusted?
Did Sean’s punch make you stupid?
As Complete Stage cultivators, they were all over sixty years old, had seen and learned a lot, knew that poison could be placed in flesh and blood, even in bones!
But! Nobody had ever heard that, damn it, bright energy could contain poison!!!
Unseen and unheard of!
Seeing their exaggerated expressions and incredulous eyes, Earl Woods naturally knew that they wouldn’t easily believe such a story that sounded like a fairy tale!
So! Earl Woods thought for a while and said in a deep voice, “Sean was captured in Fort South!”
“I heard!”
“In the barbarians of Fort South, there is a woman named Lilies Archer, the daughter of Fergus Archer, known for her poisonous bloodline, her poison arts unmatched in the world!”
“And!”
“Just before we came to the capital, I got the news that Lilies Archer had replaced Fergus Archer and taken over the entire Fort South barbarian tribe, and was elected by the barbarians as the queen of Fort South…”
Lilies Archer!
When those members of the North Kingdom delegation heard this name, their faces all changed drastically!
Obviously! They knew about Lilies Archer!
And! They knew about Lilies Archer’s prowess!!!
