33 Die In The Forest of Brume

While Zhu Xiao Wan was ignorant of what the Forest of Brume was, the Ning siblings were shocked and stupefied when they heard the place name.

Forest of Brume, the forest that had poisonous fume everywhere. If a group of 1,000 soldiers was to go there, only about one or even none would leave the forest alive. The survivor at most would be able to live his life as a normal and frail person. Although the powers of soldiers were not as strong as the people of independent families and groups, the people of the families and groups could barely make it out alive; unless they were doctors.

Ning Rou Li puckered her brows slightly as she looked down with eyes filled with worry. Their family was gone but she still has Ning Hai Heng, whilst Zhu Xiao Wan would be alone if Zhu Xiao Qian was gone. But how could they go there like this? They would only be reduced into pungent rotten flesh...

"Why the long face?" Zhuang Yin stared at Ning Rou Li curiously. "It's not like we'll die in the Forest of Brume, I went there before."

"What?" Ning Rou Li shot him a weird and inquisitive look.

He then remembered; he was the heir of an independent sect, naturally, he would find it normal to go in and out of the Forest of Brume. "Well, uh..."

"If you can cultivate till you're at least a First Stage Green Spirit, it should be fine." Guang Ling said.

Ning Hai Heng: "I just had a breakthrough, now I'm a First Stage Orange Spirit."

Ning Rou Li: "Me, Second Stage Orange Spirit..."

Zhuang Yin: "Ah..." So low?

The three continued their discussion while Guang Ling returned to his room and rest after checking his disciple's health. Zhu Xiao Wan who was still being carried by Song Hui Yao was having many thoughts running through her head.

First Stage Green Spirit? She couldn't cultivate until she paid the price, but that would take three months. Zhu Xiao Qian had a year and one month already passed, he would only have eight months left when she could cultivate. However, now that she thought about it, she still has Lianzhou. If she dedicated herself to cultivate day and night, there should be a few more months left before...

But before she finished paying her price, there were things she needed to do.

After being carried back to her room by Song Hui Yao, he let her sat on the bed again and took a seat by the window.

Zhu Xiao Wan asked, "Can you help me find out who..."

"Who attacked the Ning Family?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Haha, I just happen to know so I'll tell you," he laughed quietly after taking a look at her expressionless face. "The Lu Family, the backer of Green Wind Kingdom."

He was observing her countenance and carried on, "The Lu Family wanted to get rid of the Ning Family for a long time and since they had the perfect opportunity to attack them, why would they let it goes? Also, the master of Princess You Yan happened to be called Lu Shan."

Zhu Xiao Wan's eyes turned freezing cold. So, it turned out to be that jealous princess's master. She had a feeling that Princess You Yan also had a hand in this matter.

In the palace, Tang Rue looked at her father's darkened face and her eyes beamed with guilt. "Father, what's happened?"

Tang Tian was fuming with anger when he heard that the Ning Family had been attacked. If he could, he wanted to torture and kill those bastards that killed Prince Ning and his family, even if they weren't involved in the execution personally; but the Tang Family was undeniably weaker than the Ning Family. The Ning Family had been destroyed, what would happen to them? The same fate as their protector? He said furiously, "The Ning Family is gone!"

"What?"

"Our protector is gone."

Even Tang Rue herself was dumbfounded, the Ning Family is gone?
