After she finished speaking, the atmosphere around them dropped to freezing point. The air was filled with killing intent, and a fight between the two seemed imminent.
Even now, the Grand Elder still had no idea what kind of monster he had provoked.
He sneered at Tang Youyou and pointed his long sword at her.
"Just you? With your mediocre skills, even if I don't say anything, what can you do to me! Your mother was killed by that brute from Qingyun Sect. What can you do? Your father is a useless coward. He is not worthy of Mu Xue at all. It was your mother who was disobedient. What she suffered was all her own fault. Revenge? You want revenge? I'm one of the murderers who killed your mother. Come on!"
Hearing every word of the Grand Elder, full of provocation, Mu Lan had completely lost respect for this heartless man in front of him. All he felt was indifference.
He knew that in terms of means, he was no match for Tang Youyou at all.
At the same time, Bai Qi, who was originally on Tang Youyou's wrist, suddenly rushed out and straight towards the man in front of them. It crawled on the Grand Elder's chest and stared at him quietly.
The Grand Elder recognized at a glance that this Bai Qi was the poisonous snake he had seen at the city gate that day. How did it become Tang Youyou's possession!
Countless people had died under the fangs of this poisonous snake.
Now, this thing actually belonged to Tang Youyou!
"Bai Qi! How can this thing obey you!"
The Grand Elder looked at Tang Youyou in disbelief, only to see that she had already come in front of him.
"Xiaobai, wrap around his neck. If he moves around, just bite him to death."
Hearing this, Bai Qi immediately crawled towards the Grand Elder's neck. In an instant, he felt a force constantly wrapping around his neck, and a feeling of suffocation came over him.
He involuntarily opened his mouth, and Tang Youyou took the opportunity to put the pill in her hand into his mouth. The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and Bai Qi instantly returned to Tang Youyou's wrist.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The Grand Elder felt the force on his neck disappear. He quickly sat up and kept digging at his throat, but it was of no use.
Tang Youyou took out a bottle of pills from her bosom and poured them into her palm. While watching Bai Qi eating the pills, she looked at the Grand Elder.
"You don't need to go to so much trouble to try to spit it out. The pills I refined melt as soon as they enter the mouth. This pill won't kill you, but it can make you tell the truth. As long as you obediently cooperate, everything will be fine."
Obviously, the Grand Elder didn't buy Tang Youyou's words. He laughed and said, "Do you think I'll believe you, a yellow - mouthed kid?"
Tang Youyou said coldly, "Tell me. Tell me why I'm the evil seed in your mouth."
Then, the Grand Elder's eyes suddenly became numb, and he began to speak involuntarily.
"At that time, your mother married your father regardless of the opposition of the Calculation Clan. It was a marriage that was despised. We thought your mother wouldn't have a child, but in the end, she got pregnant. For a while, the whole clan united to resist your mother. Later, your father went to war, and for some reason, your mother returned to the Western Region."
"On the day your mother came back, I drugged the food I gave your mother. Your mother did have a massive hemorrhage, but she still did her best to keep you alive."
"Later, when your mother was in the tenth month of pregnancy and her body was extremely weak, the people from Qingyun Sect took advantage of the situation. That brute killed your mother, cut open her body to take out the child, and then disappeared. Your mother lost her life."
At this point, the Grand Elder's face was flushed. Big beads of sweat were dropping from his face one by one. When he looked at Tang Youyou, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Then, he felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. For a moment, the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.
The Grand Elder was dead.
Mu Lan looked at the motionless man on the ground. He couldn't bear it. He stepped forward and kowtowed three times. Tang Youyou was also standing on one side, gently stroking Bai Qi in her hand, watching coldly.
Mu Lan squatted on the ground. While looking at the Grand Elder, he slowly said, "Didn't you just say that this pill wouldn't kill him? Why did the Grand Elder still die?"
There was no blame or hatred in Mu Lan's words. He was just speaking calmly.
Tang Youyou didn't hide anything. She explained, "The Grand Elder's body was already terminally ill. The toxins in his body had accumulated for a long time and had penetrated deep into his internal organs. There was no cure at all.
As for why he lost his life, it was just because this was his obsession. He was reluctant to say and accept such a fact. Now that he had exposed it himself, of course he would be overwhelmed with anger. To put it bluntly, he was angry to death by himself."
After saying that, Tang Youyou took the answers she wanted and returned to Qingyun Peak. Here, there were all kinds of matters big and small about the Western Region.
Seeing that all three elders had died unnatural deaths, Tang Youyou didn't feel any shame at all. The coldness in her eyes made the servants in front of her retreat one after another.
It seemed that these people knew what she had done.
Those disciples who had bullied her before were now so scared that their legs were shaking. They quietly watched Tang Youyou walk into the inner chamber of Qingyun Peak.
Looking at the things in the inner chamber, Tang Youyou was attracted by the armrest of Mu Qing's chair. She sat on the chair and just gently touched the armrest, and she felt the world spinning around her.
As the scene changed, she came to another room. There were many official documents here, all about the matters of the Western Region.
She came to the table and gently picked up the small red jade fish. There were only a few words carved on it: Snowy Western Region.
This was the only thing left by her mother. Tang Youyou carefully put it in her bosom and returned to the original inner chamber according to the method just now.
Tang Youyou looked at Mu Lan's helpless look. She knew that he had experienced too many things recently and might not be able to accept it.
"Elder Mu Lan, from now on, the Western Region will be handed over to you. I hope Elder Mu Lan can take good care of the Western Region and yourself. I've caused you a lot of trouble. See you another day."
After saying that, Tang Youyou didn't stay any longer. Hua Ze and Hua Ling also left early because of the matters in the mansion.
Tang Youyou took Old Man Tang and headed for the border.
Looking at the deserted border, there was only the endless yellow sand and the empty battlefield, which made people feel empty inside.
Old Man Tang looked at Tang Youyou's tightly - frowned eyebrows and asked worriedly, "Girl?"
