Chapter 775: The Wu Family Disappears

The battleship sailed at full power and high speed and arrived at the neighboring country of Yao, the Imperial City of Yunguo in the evening.

I remember that when Wang Ziyan flew to the sea, she flew over the Imperial City of Yunguo. This is also the closest human port city to Bangnu Island. After scanning with a high-altitude drone, it is considered to be very backward. Although the Imperial City of Yunguo is twice as large as the Wanghai City of Yaoguo, the dilapidated and muddy streets full of cow and horse dung, the disorderly roadside buildings, the chaotic port, beggars and refugees everywhere, soldiers whipping and beating refugees, and the contempt and superior eyes of city residents for those fleeing refugees are backward, more backward than the Wanghai City of Yaoguo.

The houses of wealthy merchants and dignitaries are not bad, with exquisite attics and quiet gardens, especially the Imperial Palace of Yunguo is even more luxurious, a classic example of rich people drinking and eating, and starving people on the road.

It was not yet completely dark, and the Imperial City of Yunguo was shrouded in the setting sun.

The palace.

In a luxurious palace, Concubine Wu and her son, the Fourth Prince, were anxious. They had sent out letters to contact the family for two days but received no response. This had never happened before. They had said they would send someone today but no one came. For some reason, they always felt uneasy.

"Why is there still no news? It's been more than two days!" The Fourth Prince said anxiously.

"Keep calm. Your grandfather may be busy with something. As a prince, you must learn to be calm and take it easy. The Wu family is invincible here. Guard Hu will be back today."

Concubine Wu said casually while sitting in the main seat, but her slightly shaking fingers showed that she was very anxious but she just didn't express it. She was able to sit here as a concubine because of the Wu family. In the Wu family, an ordinary person without spiritual roots is no different from a slave, but if you have a father who loves you, it will be different. Arrange a royal family to marry out, at least you can be a superior person. Without the Wu family, there would be no Concubine Wu today.

"Your Highness, dinner is ready." The maid said respectfully to Concubine Wu.

"I have no appetite. Let's leave first."

"Yes."

The maids left with dinner, and Concubine Wu and her son were left in the room again. Waiting was painful, especially the unpredictable waiting. The world of immortal cultivation is actually very chaotic. Today you kill me, tomorrow I will seek revenge on you. It's endless. The Wu family has offended many people. In the world of immortal cultivation, every cultivator has offended people for various reasons, such as seeing low-level cultivators humiliating and mocking, and meeting beautiful women and robbing and molesting. It's true that the strong prey on the weak, but the weak may become strong and come back for revenge. Who can say what will happen in the future?

Concubine Wu did not think that the Wu family was sought for revenge by masters, but the ancestor was said to be a cultivator in the late stage of Jindan, and was almost invincible along the coast of the mountain. No one could threaten the ancestor except those sea creatures who were not interested in the mainland.

"Mother, the spy said that Yao Country has an extra ironclad ship as tall as a tower. I don't know if it's true. Why hasn't the fleet sent back any news yet?"

"How is it possible? The spy lied to attract attention. The ironclad ship as tall as a tower has a terrible weight of iron itself. How could it float on the sea? It's just a rumor. Don't worry about it. As for the army, I'm just a woman. How can I understand war and naval battles? It's probably too far away and the pigeons fly slowly."

The fourth prince nodded and sat on the chair and thought of something.

"I heard that Princess Junru of Yao Country is beautiful and charming. She is the most beautiful woman in Yao Country. If I..." The fourth prince thought of a good idea.

"Stop! Don't mention Princess Junru to me! Your father has already proposed to her. It's not you princes, but himself!" Concubine Wu said angrily with a red face.

"What? This..."

The fourth prince was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his father would have this. Although beautiful women are attractive, they also have to pay attention to face and not be gossiped behind their backs! After thinking about it, she didn't care. She was just a woman. As long as he could seize the throne, he could have as many women as he wanted, depending on his mood.

"Your Majesty, Guard Hu is back and said he has something important to report." The maid outside shouted.

"Hurry up and let him in!"

After waiting for a long time, he finally came back. Concubine Wu and the fourth prince felt relieved. Guard Hu was sent to contact the Wu family and must have returned with news and orders.

Not long after, a dusty man dressed in tight clothes came in from outside. He was exhausted and haggard. Concubine Wu thought it was not good. She winked at Guard Hu to close the door and speak carefully. Guard Hu nodded, closed the door and looked carefully, then came to Concubine Wu and the fourth prince and knelt down with a plop...

"Your Majesty...something big happened..."

Concubine Wu felt her head buzzing. What she feared was really coming true. If something big happened to the Wu family, it would definitely not be a trivial matter. Could it be that she really guessed it?

"When I arrived at Mingxia Mountain, the whole mountain was on fire! The entire fairy valley where the Wu family's fairy palace was located disappeared and was in ruins! Even the mountain behind the fairy palace was gone! The ground looked like it had been burned by fire! There were no living people, no traces, not even the slightest shadow of the fairy palace could be seen. Madam... the Wu family... the Wu family is gone..." Guard Hu burst into tears after he finished speaking. He was really crying. In the past, he had lived a colorful life relying on the Wu family. Now that the Wu family was gone, how could he live that kind of superior life?

"This... this is impossible..."

Concubine Wu was pale and fidgeting. She said it was impossible, but in fact she had already agreed with Hu Shiwei's statement in her heart. Not only was the Wu family being sought for revenge, but they were also wiped out. How high a cultivation level was needed to raz the entire valley to the ground? When did the Wu family offend such a master? It must be those damned juniors who went out to gain experience and were too arrogant and offended others! It must be!

At this moment, the sound of the harbor warning drum suddenly came from the distant dock. The sound of the drum confirmed that it was a warning without a doubt. At the same time, through the attic window, you can see that the harbor has been lit with a beacon.

"Mother..."

The fourth prince was panicked. After all, he was still young and inexperienced. When he just heard the news that the Wu family was gone, his legs and feet were already weak. Now the war drum sounded and the beacon was lit. The successive blows made the young man tremble and fidget. He inadvertently thought of the Wu family master who was killed at sea last time. Devil! All devils!

"All of this can't happen at the same time! There must be some connection. Yes, it must be related to that mechanical empire. Prepare the carriage! We will go out of the city and stay in the other courtyard for two days!" Concubine Wu thought it would be a good idea to be cautious and go out for a few more days to see how things went. By the way, she could avoid this inexplicable incident and act immediately.

Not long after, the back door of the palace opened and a team of carriages left the palace. It was not until the next day that Concubine Wu knew that she and her son were the only survivors in the palace in this incident. She never thought that her inadvertent decision would indirectly make her son the only heir to the throne...
