Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Blood Clan Queen (24)

“So, was it Prince Karlo who forged the secret decree?”

Someone asked.

“And he wanted to kill me,” Chuzheng added another accusation.

Xia Ci’s body shook.

She was in a panic.

She had not expected that a Blood Seal could have such a differentiation.

She had been by her side for so many years, she told her everything, how could this be?

Was she making it all up?

Prince Bruno took the initiative to explain the whole affair to everyone.

Xia Ci and Karlo had originally planned to kill the previous host directly; they first administered a drug, one specially targeted at the Blood Clan, which could incapacitate a Blood Clan member’s abilities for a short period.

No one knew if the drug’s effect was insufficient, but the plan did not proceed as they had anticipated.

However, the original host was injured and vanished.

Karlo and Xia Ci still followed the original plan and produced the secret decree.

–

“This is bad!!”

“This is bad!!”

Just as the atmosphere was strung tight, suddenly a Blood Clan member burst in from outside, his face ashen as he shouted that something was bad.

At the same time, Yin Xian slowly returned to Chuzheng’s wrist.

Yin Xian wrapped around Chuzheng’s wrist, playfully swinging left and right, as if it were speaking to her.

It took a while before Yin Xian quietly settled on her wrist.

“What happened?”

“The Altar, something’s happened at the Altar!” the Blood Clan member gasped for breath.

The words ‘the Altar’ succeeded in making the atmosphere in the entire hall turn eerie.

“What’s happened at the Altar?” Bruno grabbed the Blood Clan member.

“I… I can’t explain it clearly.”

Chuzheng glanced at Karlo, then turned to talk to Su Ji.

Bruno caught it in the corner of his eye, his expression growing uglier.

How did this wretched kid get involved with Her Royal Highness the Queen?!

And he’s still here!

Is he trying to take my place?!

Blasted kid!!

With the trouble at the Altar, the Blood Clan members could no longer focus on Karlo’s intent to rebel and rushed towards the Altar.

Chuzheng: “…”

I really don’t want to go.

–

The place they were at was also on an island, but compared to Death Island, this one was much larger.

Avigust Academy was just the tip of the iceberg on this island.

The rest of it was peppered with castles, both large and small, all inhabited by members of the Blood Clan with high positions and authority.

The Altar was a sacred site for the Blood Clan.

It was not predictably situated atop a mountain but rather in a valley surrounded by mountains, fresh and unspoiled.

There was a huge pit in the valley, with stairs built around it leading down to the bottom.

The Altar was down there.

It was a circular platform, all in white, but at that moment, the white platform was slowly seeping with blood.

“This is…”

“Has the seal been broken?”

“Impossible, how could that seal be broken?”

“Then what is going on?”

The Blood Clan’s Altar was not for worship.

Below it, a particularly vicious member of the Blood Clan was being suppressed.

It was rumored that this Blood Clan member had almost destroyed the entire Blood Clan.

Of course, he ultimately didn’t succeed.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have a part in this moment.

After subduing this Blood Clan member, they established the Altar for him and suppressed him beneath it.

Chuzheng looked at the blood-seeping Altar below and felt irritable, with an urge to hit someone.

Things were becoming more and more troublesome.

She thought they should have just directly killed Karlo and Xia Ci.

Then none of these annoyances would have arisen.

“Your Royal Highness, what is happening with the Altar?”

Someone turned their gaze toward Chuzheng.

“How should I know,” Chuzheng replied subconsciously.

What does it have to do with me!

“…” the Blood Clan member was taken aback: “You are Her Royal Highness the Queen, you should know the most about the Altar…”

How could you not know?

You don’t even know, then who could?

“Ah…”

Xia Ci suddenly screamed in horror and fell sitting on the ground.

She looked toward the altar with terror in her eyes.

“Your Highness… save me…”

Xia Ci suddenly pleaded with Chuzheng for help, her voice filled with panic.

Chuzheng’s face remained impassive, steady as a rock.

I’m just watching you perform.

“Your Highness…” Xia Ci’s voice took on a sobbing tone. As a frail human, her plea made quite a few of the Blood Clan feel a stir of compassion.

“Your Highness save me… don’t come over, go away, don’t come here, Your Highness, save me, I did everything as you commanded, Your Highness…”

The words of Xia Ci were rather interesting.

Chuzheng was quite helpless now.

Little Beauty, how did you just start acting all of a sudden?

I wasn’t prepared at all.

A member of the Blood Clan stepped forward, nervously pulling at Xia Ci asking, “What did you see?”

Xia Ci shoved him away, her gaze fixed intently on the altar, perfectly portraying her horror and fear.

Just as everyone was baffled, a wind suddenly began to blow from the direction of the altar.

A cold breath spread out from the altar.

The Blood Clan all felt it.

“Go away, go away, I don’t know, it’s not my business, Your Highness save me.” Xia Ci became even more agitated.

The cold sensation grew stronger, as if something invisible was appearing.

“Your Highness.” Bruno’s expression became serious: “What is Xia Ci talking about?”

Chuzheng, clutching her wrist, kept silent.

A crisp voice rang out, sounding especially cold and distant in the valley.

“He’s coming out, he’s coming out…”

“Who is coming out?!” A member of the Blood Clan shouted in exasperation: “What the hell are you talking about?! What did you see?!”

Why couldn’t they see anything?

Could it be because Xia Ci is human?!

Below the altar, the wind gradually picked up.

The bloodstains were seeping faster and the air was filled with a thick scent of blood.

That odor was not at all pleasant to the Blood Clan.

On the contrary, it made them very uncomfortable.

The altar was almost no longer recognizable in its original color.

Xia Ci’s expression turned noticeably stiff as if this wasn’t in her script.

She looked in Karlo’s direction, but Karlo was not in his original place.

Xia Ci was suddenly thrown into a panic.

But she was already here and had to continue acting.

Chuzheng, annoyed by the commotion, walked over. Just as Xia Ci was about to pull her into the next act, Chuzheng raised her hand and struck.

Xia Ci’s eyes rolled back and she successfully fainted.

The Blood Clan: “…”

–

There really was a problem with the altar, but it was not a big one. Someone had deliberately changed the positions of several suppressing objects on the altar.

Clearly, the person who swapped their positions didn’t actually intend to release what was inside.

The altar was restored to its original state.

The Blood Clan all let out a sigh of relief in private.

Fortunately, no major problem had occurred.

So the question arises…

Who was behind the altar problem?

The suppressing objects were swapped.

Clearly, it was man-made.

“Who did this?” a prince asked, seething with anger.

Who would bear the consequences if the thing beneath was released?!

“Your Highness, doesn’t this matter have something to do with you?” Karlo stepped out from behind the crowd.

“What does it have to do with me?” Chuzheng answered very calmly.

“What was Xia Ci trying to say? Why did you knock her out?”

Chuzheng replied matter-of-factly, “She was too noisy.”

Who wants to watch her overact?

No one was playing along with her.

How awkward.

“The matter Xia Ci was about to reveal is related to the altar. You were afraid she would say something, so you knocked her out…”

“You know so much, did you plan this?” Chuzheng interrupted him coldly.

Karlo choked for a moment.
