Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 888 - 6: The Sleazy Female Captain

With a "bang," Changsun Gongyang’s bright white turtle belly flipped over.

The ancient turtle, despite its hard shell and unpleasant green hairs growing on it, had a belly rarely exposed to sunlight that was smooth and fair, akin to the skin of a sixteen-year-old girl.

Changsun Gongyang’s short legs kicked diligently, trying to flip himself back over.

Yue Jinghua couldn’t let such a great opportunity slip by; she stepped onto Gui City Lord’s belly and wielded the Sky-cutting Dagger that could pierce through Plane Prohibition, making a menacing gesture on Changsun Gongyang’s turtle belly.

"Yue Jinghua, what are you doing? I have Divine Skill protecting my body; your sorry dagger has no effect on me!" Changsun Gongyang was frantic, his legs flailing, yet the more he struggled, the more he couldn’t flip back.

"Divine Skill protecting your body? Can it protect every inch of you? Even the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt have a vital spot. Besides, you are a male turtle, though old, you surely have some dignity; perhaps that place isn’t protected by Divine Skill?" Yue Jinghua laughed sinisterly.

Behind her, Yue Minzhi broke into a cold sweat, silently lamenting that his sister might never marry given her antics.

On the Titan, those male mercenaries were also drenched in sweat, wondering whether having such a captain was fortunate or unfortunate.

As for Song Mu, who was enjoying the show, he nearly lost his balance upon hearing Yue Jinghua’s outrageous remark, almost falling from the air like Changsun Gongyang.

He mentally drafted how he would report Miss Yue’s words tactfully to his master upon returning.

Changsun Gongyang was almost driven to madness, foaming at the mouth.

Despite living millennia, never had he been publicly discussed in such a manner about his private matters.

"Bo Xiyu, if you don’t want to end up like Changsun Gongyang, you better confess honestly. Speak up and tell everyone what Changsun Gongyang asked you to do and how he framed the Dark Practitioners in the Divine Ruins," the earlier curse from the compass was certainly prompted by Yue Jinghua, cleverly luring Changsun Gongyang into a trap.

Though Four Symbols City was in peril, a dying camel is still larger than a horse; without exposing Changsun Gongyang’s ugly true face, the masters of the Sun District and Yue District might emerge fully armed, making it hard for Yue Jinghua to rescue Lie Changgong and Long Rui despite her immense powers.

Bo Xiyu’s appearance, however, was an unexpected "surprise."

Terrified by Yue Jinghua’s intimidation, Bo Xiyu mumbled incoherently, his intentions unclear.

"Bo Xiyu, if you dare disclose a single word, the Bo Family and the Xileng Family will cease to exist on Canglong Continent from now on. You must realize, if you anger that person, he wouldn’t spare you, nor would he spare the entire Canglong Continent," Changsun Gongyang, at this critical juncture, regained the arrogance of the Holy Beast Clan, smiling insidiously.

Scared indeed, Bo Xiyu turned crimson, suddenly spitting blood, accompanied by a dull sound from within his body, before dying.

Yue Minzhi hurried forward to check, discovering Bo Xiyu’s Dantian had exploded; he had indeed self-detonated his Dantian.

The "he" Changsun Gongyang referred to came like a Magic Spell, suppressing Bo Xiyu to the point he dared not speak, preferring death over revealing what he knew.

Changsun Gongyang breathed a sigh of relief. Bo Xiyu was dead, meaning the Heavenly Witch Pill’s whereabouts would remain undisclosed. As for Mercenary King Bo Sai and the Xileng Family, hearing the true backing behind Four Symbols City, they wouldn’t dare probe into Bo Xiyu’s death.

If they were to inquire, they would blame Yue Jinghua.

Silence enveloped the surroundings; Bo Xiyu’s death shifted the situation favorably towards the Four Symbols City Lord.

"What a competent Four Symbols City Lord, old indeed being wise; my master foresaw the situation. I have a gift for Miss Yue, to return what rightfully belongs to her," Song Mu retrieved a Parrot Snail and tossed it to Yue Jinghua.

Seeing the Parrot Snail, Yue Jinghua coughed uncomfortably; she had placed it secretly at Zong Shaoqing’s residence, intending to eavesdrop some secrets, unaware he had already uncovered it.

From the Parrot Snail, a voice spoke, "City Lord Changsun, Si Ya succeeded in delivering the thirteen Heavenly Witch Pills to the Plane Boundary River, handed to the person you designated. I hope City Lord Changsun can..."

The dialogue and its tone revealed it was Bo Xiyu and City Lord Changsun talking.

They discussed not only the delivery of thirteen Heavenly Witch Pills; it was clearly a play deliberately orchestrated by City Lord Changsun, exhibiting corrupt theft. Furthermore, Changsun Gongyang instructed Bo Xiyu to poison several water sources within the ruins during the Divine Ruins entry, causing the team members, Demon Beasts, and fugitives inside to go berserk upon drinking water.

This way, in the final days of the Xuyang Trial, Changsun Gongyang could fully destroy the Divine Ruins under the pretext of purging the Poisoned Dark Practitioners, finding a pretext for unleashing the Destructive World Saber Wheel.

Meticulous plotting, sinister tricks; this conversation revealed Changsun Gongyang’s hypocritical nature and Bo Xiyu’s sycophancy entirely. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Every person who heard this conspiracy was seething with righteous indignation, eager to dismember the old turtle.

The only disappointment was, Changsun Gongyang did not mention in the conversation who the thirteen Heavenly Witch Pills were delivered to, nor who commanded him to orchestrate the Xuyang Trial.

Upon Four Symbols City, an abrupt sound of weapons dropping echoed; the city guards, a moment ago confrontational with Yue Jinghua and the others, angrily discarded their weapons, refusing to serve such a despicable City Lord.

They were guards of Four Symbols City, but they were also Dark Practitioners from Canglong Continent, came to the Dimensional Boundary City to surround the territory, resisting alien intrusion.

Unexpectedly, their revered City Lord turned out to be a hypocrite harming the Human Race.

Yue Jinghua tied up Changsun Gongyang, ordering Qian Luo to set up a special Dark Array, confining its Dark Power, immobilizing it.

"Yue Jinghua, you will pay the price, no, you will pay immediately; the Second Prince of Dark Demon’s men are near, without this City Lord and without support from the Moon Plane, you motley crew will surely die beneath the Demon Army’s beast hooves," as he was tossed into the Dark Array, Changsun Gongyang taunted gleefully, cursing Yue Jinghua, cursing all of Four Symbols City.
