194 Heart Attack (2/2)
From up above, the entire city and the people looked like miniature toys.
”To Yan Country!”
Fang Yuan tapped the bird's head and used his spiritual will to direct it to a certain direction. Afterwards, he took a quick look at the beauty beside him.
”Sect Head!”
Shi Yutong appeared pale. However, as a Wu Zong, she was still able to handle the intensity of flying. As she saw Fang Yuan looking over at her, she blushed and nodded her head.
”For the journey to Yan Country, I have prepared to take a detour to Wu Country first to settle some other matters!”
Fang Yuan went straight to the point.
”Wu Country?”
Shi Yutong asked.
”You're a clever person!”
Fang Yuan rattled on. ”I'm sure you've guessed what I'm about to do, am I right?”
Shi Yutong turned pale and replied. ”You're a deep person, Sect Head. How would I dare to guess your intentions?”
”I won't hide it from you. The country governor of Wu Country is trouble, and I'm preparing to kill him!”
Fang Yuan continued. ”Everything that I've established originated from my martial arts, and I'm sure you are aware of this. Therefore, I want you to take good care of Yuan Sect and Secluded Country while I'm gone...”
”Yes, Sir!”
Shi Yutong replied respectfully.
After his repeated hints, she had mixed feelings of love and hatred for Fang Yuan, but could not do anything as she was weaker than him.
Before becoming confident of taking down Fang Yuan, she would not dare to do anything.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
At this moment, the Red-Eyed White King Bird let out a long chirp.
As Fang Yuan looked down, he realised that they had flown into Wu Country's airspace. The three mountains in front were surrounding a mountainous city.
”We are now in the capital of Wu Country...”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan smiled.
...
In the palace of Wu Country.
Wu Qiankun was reading a book. Suddenly, he had an uneasy feeling as though something bad was about to happen. He paced about in his palace and tossed his ancient book on his red sandalwood table.
”Pa!”
As the book landed, the surrounding servants shivered in fear and did not dare to breathe a word. They were afraid of being picked on by Wu Qiankun to let out his anger. The situation had been like that since the independence of Secluded Country three years ago.
'Why am I feeling so uneasy today? Did I miss out anything recently?'
Wu Qiankun used to be a valiant warrior and was middle-aged, but not old. However, now, he started to have white hair growing from his sideburns.
”All of you, get out! Without any instructions, don't come in!”
He frowned as he casually dismissed them.
”Yes, Sir!”
Hering this, the few servants heaved a sigh of relief. Hurriedly, they left.
Wu Qiankun circled a few rounds. Suddenly, he approached his bookshelf and activated a certain mechanism.
”Kacha!”
A small drawer popped out. Inside were a few spy documents. These were all secretly obtained by Black Ice, and in it were the latest news about Secluded Country.
”There shouldn't be any problem. I've treated Secluded Country with respect and even gifted them precious valuables this time. He should be satisfied...”
As he mumbled to himself, a fog started to appear in front of him.
To him, the existence of such a person was a headache.
The good thing was that all of these would soon be history.
”Based on Black Ice's report, from his actions, he doesn't want to enjoy the riches of his country, nor the 3,000 concubines in his palace. He is just a dumb martial artist with no brains! Soon, we would not be able to satisfy him, and he would surely make his way to Da Qian Empire... Once that happens, it will be my chance!”
He clenched his fist and his face became flushed with excitement.
”Eh...”
Suddenly, he could hear someone breathing in his room.
”Who's that?”
Wu Qiankun was left in shock as he threw his teacup on the floor. Swiftly, he held on to a jade piece that was hanging from his chest, and it was glowing red.
”Let's not waste time! Since I have arrived, I would naturally have sealed this place from the outside world. Normal people will not be able to notice anything!”
Two shadows emerged from the darkness. They were Fang Yuan and Shi Yutong.
”Oh, its the king of Secluded Country. May I know why you would play such a prank on me?”
Although Wu Qiankun was asking calmly, his voice was hoarse like a dead man.
”You would know...”
Fang Yuan shook his head. ”It's always your enemies that will know you best... Not many of my ministers and subordinates have guessed that I'm about to leave, but you have guessed correctly! Well done! However... I don't want to keep you alive. You would only cause trouble!”
'This is not good!'
Long before Fang Yuan's appearance, Wu Qiankun was already slowly retreating. Hearing his words, he sprinted towards the chair behind his table.
There was a secret mechanism there which would bring him through a secret tunnel, and would keep him safe by dropping a thousand-pound heavy stone!
If the stone were to drop, even Wu Zongs could not escape it.
But he was unfortunate because this was Fang Yuan!
Even before Wu Qiankun would react, the shadow of Fang Yuan flickered and the next moment, he could feel a stinging pain in his chest. All his spiritual talismans were useless, and soon after, he slowly landed on the ground, his face a hue of purple.
After seeing Fang Yuan slowly disappearing, a few moments later, a few servants entered and they were all panicking.
”The King has a heart attack!”
”Get the Imperial Doctor!”
...
The chaos ensued but became softer and softer. After taking in one last breath, he entered darkness for eternity...
