She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know!"
"Oh? You don't know?"
"Then I guess I'll have to make you suffer a bit more."
With that, I injected some Snake Venom into her.
Immediately, Da Shiran cried out in pain.
She struggled desperately, fear evident in her eyes.
"Alright! I'll tell you!"
"It was the village chief."
Hearing this, I furrowed my brow.
"The village chief?"
"Yes, the village chief manipulated our fates so that I could become the saintess."
"He made your fate lower than mine, which is why the Gu Worms you raised recognize me as their master."
As I processed this information, everything clicked into place.
No wonder the Gu Worms I had raised before went out of control.
It turned out that Cui Kun had been scheming behind my back.
This made me extremely angry.
I grabbed Da Shiran by the arm and forcefully threw her against the tree trunk.
Bang!
Her entire body slammed heavily against the trunk.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed through the air.
Da Shiran's bone had broken.
Seeing this scene, Cui Kun felt a pang of heartache.
He hurriedly ran to Da Shiran's side, anxiously checking her injuries.
"Darling! Are you alright?"
"Hmph!"
I stepped forward and kicked Cui Kun aside.
"You beast!"
"How could you go to such lengths for your own purposes, even harming your own daughter!"
At my words, a flicker of surprise crossed Cui Kun's eyes.
"How do you know about this?"
I looked at him coldly.
"If one wishes to keep a secret, one must not act upon it!"
"You have done so many wicked things; eventually, someone will find out."
Upon hearing my words, Cui Kun suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"I am the village chief; everything I do is for your own good!"
"Without me, would you have achieved what you have today?"
Hearing this, I furrowed my brows.
"Is this your reason for hurting me?"
"Hmph! You treated me like a tool; you never cared about my well-being!"
"You are afraid that I might threaten your position, which is why you did this to me."
At my words, a flicker of surprise crossed Cui Kun's eyes.
He then replied coldly, "So what if that's true?"
"I've known about your exceptional talent for a long time, which is why I started planning the moment you were discovered."
"Everything I've done was to gain control over you!"
Upon hearing this, I nodded.
"Just as I thought."
I looked at him with cold eyes.
"Since you admit to your crimes, prepare to face the consequences."
With that, I gestured to the villagers.
"Come here! Take them both away!"
At my command, the villagers stepped forward.
They bound Cui Kun and Da Shiran and then escorted them to the dungeon.
I followed closely behind as they went in.
Looking at the two despicable criminals before me, my eyes were filled with a cold fury.
"You have harmed me for so long; I will make you pay the price."
With that, I commanded my people to reconstruct the The Pit of Ten Thousand Serpents.
Then, I had Cui Kun and Da Shiran hung at the entrance of the pit.
Suddenly, thousands of snakes surged forth.
They relentlessly bit at their legs.
Before long, both of their legs were reduced to nothing but white bones.
Seeing them in such a state brought me immense satisfaction.
But I did not allow them to die just yet.
From the information they had revealed, it was clear they knew about my background.
Thus, I could not let them die so easily.
I instructed the villagers to apply medicine to them.
To let them regrow new flesh and blood.
Then, I placed them back into the The Pit of Ten Thousand Serpents to feed the snakes once more.
