Chapter 491: Seven Steps Heartbreak Red

h instantly. Just like now, he just had to force her back to the palace, didn't he She refused, and he directly grabbed her. Was this domestic violence Domestic violence was also within the seven grou...Xiao Yu Ge didn't dare to stay for long, and he also followed closely behind her.

However, when they arrived at the chief's courtyard, they were met with a chilling sight. The place was packed with people, and their hearts sank. Food was scattered everywhere, clearly evidence of a celebration. Judging by their postures, something in the food must have rendered them unable to move or speak before they died. It seemed as if they had all been poisoned.

"Clan Leader!" Lu Xiangwan rushed into the room. The old Clan Leader on the bed had long since breathed his last, and Young Master Nan Gongyu lay beside him.

"Young Master! Young Master!" Lu Xiangwan reached out to help Nangong Yu, but his body was already stiff.

Lu Xiangwan ran back into the yard, wanting to find the man she both loved and hated among the corpses. She wanted an explanation from him, why after so many years of love, he could deceive her time and time again!

Finally, she saw him in a corner over there!

“Jian!” Even on her way back, she had imagined countless ways to kill him, but in this moment, she realized that her heart still held him. Though filled with hate, she hadn’t let go.

Nan Gong Jian seemed to still have some breath left in him. She flipped her palm, channeling her internal energy into him, trying to wake him up.

"Ajian! It's me, Wan'er!" She called out the man's name once more, even though the man in her arms had once wanted to take her life. Yet, the past oaths they had made, those promises whispered beneath mountains and oceans, were still unforgettable.

“Wan’er...” Nangong Jian slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, he seemed very excited. Perhaps it was shocking that she was still alive!

"What happened here Why is everyone dead" Lu Xiangwan knew he couldn't survive, so he wanted to know what happened here. There was a foreign presence here, it was impossible that someone from their tribe did this.

Nan Gong Jian was increasingly agitated, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "It was them, they deceived me... They slaughtered all of our clan and kidnapped Lin'er... They came for the dragon pearl..." Perhaps in these last moments of his life, he finally understood how terribly wrong he had been.

"Who are those people Who are they" Lu Xiangwan's eyes were almost on fire. As the high priestess, she couldn't even protect her own people. How could she not hate it

"I only know them, they're from the capital..." Nangongjian seemed to want to tell her the truth, but unfortunately, his life was coming to an end: "Wan'er, I'm sorry..." He wanted to touch her blood-colored face, but unfortunately, his hand only raised halfway before falling limp. Perhaps he had deceived her, but it was undeniable that there was a moment when he felt moved.

"Ajian! Ajian!"

Lu Xiangwan held his lifeless body in her arms. He betrayed her and sent people to kill her. She had also considered killing him when she returned, showing no mercy. But at this moment, seeing him die in her arms, her heart still ached so much that she let out a mournful cry to the heavens!

A heart-wrenching, despairing cry echoed throughout the valley...

Xiao Yu Ge silently sized up everything around him. It wasn't hard to imagine that this place must have once been so peaceful and harmonious, its people living happily ever after. But what kind of person destroyed all of this The entire Miao Ling tribe numbered over a thousand, yet they were all slaughtered. What kind of person could be so cruel Not even the elderly, women and children, or livestock were spared!

Xiao Yu Ge snapped his finger, and Feng Yan Niang appeared silently.

"Sister Feng, search this place thoroughly to see if there are any survivors. Be careful!" After all, this is someone else's territory. Although it looks like several hours have passed since the incident, it's best to be cautious.

"Yes!" Feng Yanniang led her people and turned away.

Xiao Yu Ge also immediately checked everyone in the courtyard, without exception, they were all dead from poisoning. Moreover, all of them had suffered from Qi Bu Duan Chang Hong (Seven Steps Heartbroken Red), a venomous wound that sealed their throats upon seeing blood. The poison should have been put in the water or soup.

Perhaps Nangong Jian came here for some reason and ate less, so he was able to last this long.

"Lu Jie..." Xiao Yuge came to Lu Xiangwan, who was sitting there in a daze, and held her hand. She realized that her hand was so cold. She could understand the pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her: "Now is not the time to be sad..."

Lu Xiangwan's eyes finally moved, she looked at Xiao Yuge and asked, "Ge'er, you know medicine, do you know what poison they were poisoned with This isn't like the poison in our clan." She also knew that now was not the time to be sad, she had to calm down.

“Seven steps heartache red, seeing blood seal the throat, within seven steps there is no antidote, death is inevitable! The poison should have been put in the water, so it led to all the villagers, men, women and children, being poisoned.” Xiao Yuge answered truthfully, but she suddenly remembered something, wasn't this seven steps heartache red her master’s unique secret recipe How was that possible

No! Impossible! Master and Uncle Master are both upright people, they couldn't possibly use such poison to harm others. But who could it be, so cruel, who would use this rare poison to poison the entire clan

"樓主!"

Not long after, Feng Yanniang and the others returned, each carrying three wailing babies in their arms!

“They were hidden in a cellar, so they escaped! The rest are...” Feng Yanni shook her head. She had seen all sorts of bloody scenes, but this massacre of an entire clan was the first time she had encountered such brutality.

"Xiaodou, Xiaohu, Nizi!" Seeing those children, Lu Xiangwan was once again excited. They were all just a couple of months old. A few days ago, as the high priestess, she had personally blessed them, so she remembered their names.

Perhaps sensing the familiar presence, the three little ones kicked their legs open and burst into tears. The tender cries also wrung the hearts of everyone present.

They must be hungry, Wind Elder Sister. You have someone bring them down and feed them some of the water and food we brought. Also, send a message down that they are not to touch anything here, not even the water!” Xiao Yuge was worried that the thieves hadn't gone far and feared that the children’s crying would attract them. Since the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, they had to be cautious.

"Yes!"

After Feng Yanniang and the others left, Xiao Yu Ge looked at Lu Xiangwan and asked in a deep voice, “Lu Jiejie, what do you plan to do now”

"Ge'er, come with me!" Lu Xiangwan had also slowly calmed down at this time. She brought Xiao Yuge to a cave.

Inside a delicately crafted box, there once lay the peerless treasure, Dragon's Tear Pearl. Now, the box lay open, its contents vanished without a trace. Though expected, Lu Xiangwan still found it hard to accept. 。Xiao Yu's song laughed, laughing until her eyes became moist. 。"Miss..." Qing Luo was instantly overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling up in his eyes. 。“Alright, I’ll have someone put up a sign at...
