However, she did not, which showed that this Master Wen Jiang definitely had something extraordinary that ordinary Gu Masters did not have.

“Master Wen Jiang was originally the strongest Gu Master in the Southern Border. It could be said that no Gu Master in the Southern Border was his match, even if all of them were to join forces, they would still not be his match. It was a pity that Wen Jiang had a weak spot, and that was his wife. His wife is the elder sister of the current king of the Southern Border. Back then, she was the eldest princess of the Southern Border and also Fei Yuge’s aunt.” Rong Zhan’s gaze was cast into the distance as he explained in a leisurely tone.

Gu Qingxue cast her gaze on Rong Zhan, observing his every move and quietly listening to him.

Rong Zhan continued slowly, “The eldest princess and Master Wen Jiang loved each other. The king of Southern Border did marry her to Niaster Wen Jiang in order to win him over. Their life as husband and wife has always been harmonious. Wen Jiang also did everything for the royal family of the Southern Border without reservation. After that, Wen Jiang developed a special Gu technique that could allow people who could not become Gu Masters to become Gu Masters.’

Gu Qingxue’s gaze flickered, and she said thoughtfully, “His actions must have offended many other Gu Masters in the Southern Border. To become a Gu one needed to have great talent, not everyone could do it. It was also because of this that even in the Southern Border, Gu Masters were rare and respected. However, Wen Jiangs actions are equivalent to giving everyone the chance to become a Gu master, to other Gu Masters, this is naturally a huge threat.’

“That’s right, Wen Jiangs actions threatened all the other Gu Masters. The other Gu Masters naturally could not tolerate his misdeeds, so they all thought of ways to denounce him. In the end, they successfully sowed discord between him and the king of the Southern Border, causing the death of the child in eldest princess’ womb.” The more Rong Zhan spoke, the calmer his tone became.

“How did Wen Jiang do it?” Gu Qingxue’s heart tightened as she asked.

“The eldest princess was weak to begin with. In addition, she was heartbroken after losing her child. Her health deteriorated day by day. Wen Jiang was furious about this and even set a blood curse to bury all the royal family of the Southern Border. At that time, the whole ceremony was already halfway through, and the eldest princess suddenly came to stop it when it learned of the matter. In the end, she was too agitated and died from a rush of blood. The last words of the eldest princess before her death were to hope that Wen Jiang would forgive the actions of the Southern Border king. She also wanted Wen Jiang to swear that he would never hurt the royal family of the Southern Border,” Rong Zhan said.

Gu Qingxue’s brows were tightly furrowed. She could already guess how things were going to turn out. “Did Wen Jiang agree to it in the end?”

“She is the love of his life, so he’ll naturally agree. Hence, he forcefully stopped the ritual, resulting in a backlash. That was why he was plagued by the extremely powerful Gu Poison and was subsequently captured by the king of the Southern Border. However, Wen Jiang was not a fool. When he was serving the king of the Southern Border, he had already seen that the king was not a good person. Therefore, he had been on guard against him for so many years and had poisoned the king long ago. If the king dares to do anything to harm him, he will be tortured by the Gu Worms in his body.”

Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Wen Jiangs Gu techniques are this powerful?”

“Mmhm, so far there is no Gu Master in the Southern Border who can undo his Gu techniques. The King of the Southern Border had thought of every possible way to get rid of Wen Jiang..”
