Chapter 516: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Sixty-Six)

These desperate criminals had no intention of living, otherwise they would not have stayed to ambush the rescuers. They had been tortured for a long time and were covered in wounds. The pain had gradually made them numb and their pain sensation had decreased. Some of them were repeatedly drugged by the witch doctors of the Wu clan, and their physical constitutions were as different from ordinary people as the original Wu Meng. How could they be compared with the men of Chief Huang?

By the evening of the next day, when Wu Lan and his men rushed back to Wu Valley, all they saw were broken walls and ruins. All the people left in the Wu tribe were dead!

"Ji Mingjie! You sinner of the Wu clan!"

Wu Lan gritted her teeth, blaming the sinister villain Ji Mingjie. He suspected that she would collude with King Lou Nan and insisted on killing King Lou Nan before letting her go. It turned out that the leader of the people who broke into the palace was not King Lou Nan at all, but King Lou Nan's stand-in. After the stand-in died, King Lou Nan, disguised as a soldier, was protected by others and escaped from the palace. Ji Mingjie immediately ordered the city to be sealed off, not allowing King Lou Nan to escape.

If she hadn't been so angry and had a big quarrel with Ji Mingjie, and hadn't brought up her identity as the leader of the Wu clan, Ji Mingjie, the new emperor, would never have let her leave today!

If she had rushed back last night, perhaps the Wu Clan wouldn't have been wiped out! Or if she hadn't participated in the succession of the Ji Kingdom's royal family and had guarded the Wu Clan's territory, nothing would have happened!

But the Wu Clan had always been interdependent with the Ji Kingdom's royal family. How could she go against the wishes of the old clan leader and sever ties with the royal Ji clan? As long as the Wu Clan had any intention of rebelling against the royal family, the Ji Kingdom's emperor would definitely take action immediately to eliminate them! There was no way the Wu Clan could remain immune!

The resentment in Wu Lan's heart overwhelmed her, and she was eager to vent her anger!

She looked at the corpse of Chief Huang on the ground, then looked at the three headmen who looked miserable and had wounds on their bodies, and angrily questioned them about the truth of last night.

Wu Lan didn't believe what they said when they told her that these medicine men and blood slaves had united to rebel.

"These lowly people have been controlled by the witch clan. How could they possibly have the chance to resist?"

"Chief Lan, we didn't have the chance before, but have you forgotten? You mobilized a large number of Wu Clan warriors, leaving the Wu Clan defenses vulnerable. These people were waiting for an opportunity to rebel. When Chief Huang led us there, the fire had already spread from the ancestral tree to the surrounding areas, and several elders had disappeared."

"These people are desperate. They recognized Chief Huang's face and kept surrounding him. We tried to save him but couldn't. The blind man dragged him to his death. When the ancestral tree was burning, a strange smell emanated. We all thought it was unusual and worried it might be poisonous. It was very strange. But for the sake of the Wu Clan, we were not afraid of the killing array and rushed in without hesitation to fight the enemy!"

"Alas, after we discovered something was amiss, we quickly sent a signal, hoping you would receive the message and rush back. Unfortunately, you returned too late! If you hadn't led your men out of the valley, this wouldn't have happened! The Ten Thousand Snake Cave was no longer under control, the fire spread, and those beasts rushed up. The scene was terrifying, and the ones who suffered were the Wu Clan and those of us who came to rescue them!"

Because when Cai Shuang and Shu Ka left the Wu Clan, they did not kill the people outside, but just made them fall into a coma. When they woke up, they forgot what happened before they fell into a coma. These people were afraid of being punished, so they concealed the fact that they had been in a coma.

The three mountain chiefs were not sure whether there were other people attacking the Wu clan. They did not see anyone else, and even those who were guarding outside the Wu clan did not find any trace of others. So they attributed the people who attacked the Wu clan to medicine men, blood slaves and other people enslaved by the Wu clan.

Thinking about what happened last night, they all had grievances, and each of them said something, which made Wu Lan's face look even worse. She glanced at the dark tree trunk, her heart bleeding. What did these people know?

The snakes of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave are their best friends! They specialize in dealing with the enemies of the Wu Clan! The Ancestral Tree is watered with human blood, using humans as fertilizer, making it unique. Every year, the Wu Clan drinks a drop of the Ancestral Tree's sap to strengthen their bodies. The Ancestral Tree is their spiritual root! Now that these roots are destroyed, their friends are gone, and their home is gone!

The three headmasters looked at Wu Lan's gloomy eyes and kept silent for a moment, fearing that they would anger this woman.
