Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1272

Chapter 1272 Not Just One Death

Xun Junyao calmly looked at the dying Blood Dragon. She was a master at reading emotions, so she could tell from his eyes that he was still in disbelief that she would betray him. She shook her head. He was just like everybody else.

Xun Junyao sighed, thinking about how much effort she had taken before reaching this point. A look of annoyance flashed in her eyes: "Do you know how much time and effort I've spent just on that Death-Root Poison alone?

"After you guys used the world's luck to cast a causality spell that destroyed anything that threatened you, almost all poisons in the world were destroyed. They were nowhere to be found."

Xun Junyao wanted to be angry, thinking how many rare resources these parasites destroyed so that they could protect themselves.

"The only place with such poison was those top lineages," Xun Junyao continued. "But they were sealed or did not want you to use an excuse to plunder their sects, so they refused any of my attempts to get my hands on one. As fate would have it, I found that destroyed Death-root and wanted to revive it. However, you people kill all poison masters, alchemists, or spiritual herb planters capable of such a feat."

Xun Junyao looked at him with pity.

"Fate is truly against you. There happens to be a talented poison cultivator in the Lawless Zone with the skills to revive and even improve on it. The next step was to get you into ingesting it without noticing. For this part, I would like you to meet one of the greatest contributors."

Xun Junyao clapped her hands, and a middle-aged man with streaks of white hair on the side of his hair walked in. His body naturally emanated a scent of spices. He looked at Blood Dragon with unrestrained hatred.

"Remember him?" Xun Junyao asked. "You probably do since he's the only gift from you that I've ever accepted. Well, I have to thank you. Without all his excellent food, I would never have such a rapid cultivation speed.

"More importantly, this plan today would have never succeeded. He integrated the Death-Root into your food so perfectly that your body would not detect it as a poison. Instead, it will see it as a nourishing substance."

Xun Junyao then pointed at the palace's ceiling to manifest an array. "The next step was asking Lady Wu for this array that suppressed your Sense of Danger, and voila. Of course, it helps that you were so fanatic, for lack of a better word, about my beauty. I'm sure that was a great distraction from the danger surrounding you."

[Roar]

A potent dragon roar emanated from Ao You's mouth. With a twisted fist, he managed to summon a decisive blow as he summoned a red dragon phantom that rushed. The palace trembled, but nothing else occurred. A shield appeared before Xun Junyao and the cook named Chen Shu.

"Weren't you paying attention to the banquet?" Xun Junyao asked. "Lady Wu granted me a protective talisman. How can someone like you break something she made? Know your place, little reptile."

Ao You's eyes turned red. Nothing dragons hate more than being called lizards, snakes, or reptiles. He stared at Xun Junyao.

"Ohh, so many emotions, including some vile things you think you're going to do to me once you get out of this situation," she commented. "However, more than anything else, you wish to know why I'm doing this. Am I correct?" She asked him.

"I'm going to take that as a yes," Xun Junyao nodded. "I'll tell you."

"Lady Xun, I think we should activate the poison and accelerate his death," Chen Shu said.

"Is that your way of saying I'm speaking too much?" she asked him.

"I wouldn't dare."

"You don't understand," Xun Junyao continued. "I've been planning this for so long and had to keep it a secret to ensure nothing was leaked. Now is my chance to show off; how can I let it go so easily?"

She focused on Ao You; "To answer your questions, there are many reasons why I did this, including all the atrocities you've committed, how you, parasites, have blocked the way forward, revenge for my cook, and revenge for scheming against my apprentice and turning him into a waste.

"However, none of those are my primary objective. For those, I only have two. Firstly, you killed my second apprentice."

Ao You looked at her confusedly. He did no such thing.

"It was an accident, but I don't know if that makes it worse or better," Xun Junyao continued. "I once met this blind little beggar boy and surprisingly discovered he could not see me. I know you think my words are odd, but that's because you don't know that my accursed beauty works even on people without any sights or visual detection. As long as I'm close to them, their idea of the perfect beauty will manifest in their mind.
