Chapter 1132 The Saintess's Identity
Jiang Fenghua's vision blurred, and all that remained was a vast expanse of white mist. Within the mist, countless eyes stared at her, wailing, weeping, and pleading...
Suddenly, a dense swarm of eyes attacked her, those eyeballs even pleading for her help, someone shouting, "Lady Ruan, spare me..."
"You devil, you're a devil, you deserve to die a horrible death..."
"You'll go to hell..."
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me..."
Her eardrums ruptured from the screams, her vision was stained red with blood, and suddenly tens of thousands of golden toads swarmed out to devour the corpses of those she had killed. The eyes of those who had begged her for help and hurled insults at her suddenly changed color: red, yellow, green, purple, blue, cyan...
Countless golden toads with eyes that changed color attacked her at the same time.
A sense of fear rose in Jiang Fenghua's heart, and she suddenly swung her soft sword at the golden toad.
"It's an illusion!"
The next moment, she quickly sheathed her sword, gripped it tightly, and focused her mind on sensing the surroundings.
She closed her eyes to dispel the demons in her heart, and the surrounding street scene instantly changed. The crowds, houses, and hidden guards all disappeared, and she entered the vast white fog again.
This time, she saw a woman emerge from the mist. She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but the red spider lily flower between the woman's eyebrows shone brightly.
She asked, "Who are you?"
The woman did not answer, but the red spider lily flower ornament between her eyebrows gradually dispelled the white mist in front of her eyes, and her vision became clear.
She saw a blurry outline and asked again, "Danji Aruan, is that you?"
The woman still didn't answer. Then, countless eyes appeared before her again, looking as if they wanted to devour her.
Jiang Fenghua calmed herself and kept reminding herself not to be controlled by her inner demons. She silently repeated, "My original intention remains unchanged..."
"It's no use." The voice of the Yuezhi saintess came from all directions. "Even the power of the priests cannot break the illusion of my Muqi family. Danji Aruan, you have lost in the end."
Jiang Fenghua knew that the core of illusion was to disturb the mind. If one could guard one's original intention and remain true to oneself, the illusion would break on its own.
She murmured the calming words that Master Wu had once taught her: "Never forget your original intention, always be sincere and kind..."
If the mind is still, the sword is still; if the mind moves, the sword moves first...
My heart remains unmoved...
She took a deep breath, clearing her mind of all distractions, as if she were the woman in the white mist. A flower mark had once inexplicably appeared between her brows, and it disappeared when her inner demons shattered.
She tried to focus all her attention on the flower between her eyebrows.
Perhaps the red spider lily's floral decorations are not a curse, but rather a guiding light that gives her strength.
If her previous incarnation was indeed Danji Aruan, then the flower mark that suddenly appeared between her eyebrows was a guiding light left to her by Danji Aruan.
As Jiang Fenghua was thinking this, the red spider lily suddenly shone with golden light!
The illusion receded like the tide, and the street scene of Jiangzhou City reappeared before my eyes.
The crowd was still scattering in panic, and the hidden guards were fighting against the Yuezhi tribe. She instantly realized what was happening and touched the spot between her eyebrows, feeling a burning warmth. She held a soft sword in her hand, and the reflection of the red spider lily flower between her eyebrows was on the blade.
She exclaimed, "They're back again!"
At this moment, the Yuezhi saintess was three zhang in front of her.
She drew her sword and thrust it straight at him!
The moment the sword tip pierced the saintess's chest, there was no resistance—her figure shattered and vanished into thin air like a bubble.
She knew it was just an illusion!
The real saintess appeared from the other side, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You are stronger than I thought."
She suddenly laughed, a strange and dangerous laugh: "Unfortunately... you were still a step too slow, you see..."
She raised her hand, and suddenly screams of terror erupted from the crowd.
A young mother, holding a three- or four-year-old child, fell to the ground. The Yuezhi saintess stared at the mother and daughter with a cold smile on her lips. Suddenly, a red-eyed golden toad jumped in front of the child.
The child cried in terror.
Seeing this, the mother desperately tried to protect her child, but it was as if an invisible barrier separated them.
The moment Jiang Fenghua saw the golden toad, she knew something was wrong. She paused, her sword tip poised to stab at the toad.
However, it was still too late.
The toad's tentacles stuck directly to the child's eyeballs and gouged them out. What's even more disgusting and terrifying is that it seemed to be enjoying a delicious meal.
They are utterly unscrupulous!
The child's mother cried and begged...
Jiang Fenghua's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and she was so angry that her veins bulged.
She watched helplessly as the child fell silent. The child's mother knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, kowtowing repeatedly, "Your Majesty, save my child, doctor..."
But now even if there were doctors, they wouldn't dare to go forward, because her child had already died on the spot.
The Yuezhi Saintess laughed, "This is just the beginning. If Empress Jiang doesn't behave herself, I guarantee that even more people in your Great Zhou Dynasty will have their eyes put into the Golden Toad's belly."
Time seemed to stand still as Jiang Fenghua flew away. In that instant, someone in the crowd cried out in surprise.
The same scene played out again, but this time the figure of the Yuezhi saintess had already floated towards the distant rooftop: "Danji Aruan, you probably never expected that we would meet in this way! Your old friend in the Northwest is still waiting for you to keep your appointment."
"By the way, those three people who stole my golden toad are also in my hands. If you want to rescue them, you'll have to go to the Northwest yourself."
Jiang Fenghua's pupils shrank suddenly; Gongsun Lan and Feng Qingyu were also in her hands.
She dared to appear so brazenly because she knew they couldn't catch her.
In fact, the Yuezhi Holy Maiden could have used the lives of the people to coerce her into leaving together, but she didn't. The reason might be simple: the Yuezhi Holy Maiden was certain that they would come to her on their own.
Jiang Fenghua stared intently at the Yuezhi saintess on the distant rooftop. Her face was quite ordinary, yet she called out the name Danji Aruan.
This indicates that she knew about the history of the Yinchuan Kingdom a thousand years ago.
She clenched her fists. The Yuezhi clan were descendants of the Muqi family from a thousand years ago. The only person who had ever considered Danji Aruan a thorn in their side was that vicious, crazy woman, Muqi Rou!
She is Danji Aruan's stepmother, who swaggered around in the Danji family for more than ten years. Could it be that she has also been reborn?
It's just a different skin, like the monster Danjimaina.
When Ao Xue and the others realized what had happened, Wu Yirong, Wu Fu, the two elders of the Yue clan, Bai Yuhan, and Wan Qianshan had all disappeared.
They had prepared a net, but it was too late. The Yuezhi Saintess's illusion was indeed a thousand times more powerful than Xiao Shang's. They fell for her trick and didn't have time to cast their net to catch the golden toad.
"Your Majesty!" Aoxue said in a deep voice, "We were all bewitched just now."
Jiang Fenghua's voice was cold and deep, "First, appease the people who were killed."
Xun Yao said, "It's all due to my dereliction of duty..."
Immediately afterwards, she said, "Guard Xun, pass down the order to muster troops to accompany me to the Northwest."
"Yes." Xun Yao's eyes also reddened; he had never felt so humiliated as he had today.
Jiang Fenghua didn't have time to think too much. Right now, she needed to settle things in Jiangzhou... no, she needed to alert the people of Dazhou to the enemy lurking within Dazhou.
The tragedy of the golden toad devouring people must not be staged again, otherwise it would be a sign of their incompetence.
