Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Thunderous Punishment

The porcelain bottle rolled to the floor and shattered, silver medicinal liquid seeping into the small patch of ground.

Those present in the grand hall had some expertise in herbal medicine, and upon smelling that mesmerizing scent, quickly covered their mouths and noses.

Wu Yunlan watched as the Python Poison she had hidden so carefully brazenly rolled into everyone’s sight, causing her pupils to shrink in shock.

"No doubt you recognize what this is. If I hadn’t taken precautions, I would have been doomed because of you," Wu Nuan said coldly.

"You’re slandering me; I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Wu Yunlan now understood; Wu Nuan had feigned being poisoned as a trap, waiting for her moment of laxity to counterattack.

She only blamed herself for being so blinded by victory that she let her guard down and capsized in a small ditch.

Though Wu Nuan had obtained the Python Poison, without conclusive proof, Wu Yunlan still had a chance. She knew she had to deny everything staunchly.

Just as Wu Yunlan was racking her brain for an excuse, an announcement came from outside.

"Gu Master, a Maid is asking to see you outside, claiming she has come to confess her guilt."

"!" Wu Yunlan’s face turned ashen when she heard this.

Those on the dais spoke indifferently: "Let them in."

"Yes." The attendant, hearing the command, immediately went out to let the Maids in.

As four Maids entered, a trace of delight flickered in Wu Nuan’s eyes, while Wu Yunlan’s face turned completely pale.

She saw two of her Maids with faces as pale as ghosts kneeling on the ground, avoiding Wu Yunlan’s eyes throughout.

They prostrated on the ground, and without waiting for the crowd to question them, began to speak on their own initiative.

"Gu Master, your servants have something to report..."

The two recounted every detail of how Wu Yunlan had set a trap for Wu Nuan to fall into.

Wu Nuan had not expected things to go so smoothly, now with both eyewitness and physical evidence, she was spared the time and effort of a dispute with Wu Yunlan.

After the two Maids finished speaking, the Gu Master struck the armrest of the chair heavily.

"I am very disappointed in you!"

Wu Yunlan shivered and fell to her knees: "Forgive me, Gu Master, I was only momentarily bewitched; I realize my mistake. Please give me one more chance, I won’t err again."

"Had you competed with Wu Nuan in a fair and upright manner, I would not have interfered, but now you’ve resorted to such despicable means to harm others. If I were to let you go now, wouldn’t that tell everyone that they can engage in such treachery? What will become of the Witch Tribe’s future then!"

"Gu Master, I realize my mistake, I truly do!" Wu Yunlan kept kowtowing: "For the sake of my master, please spare me this once, I beg you to show mercy!"

At this moment, Wu Yunlan had none of her usual authority and begged pitifully without any dignity.

The Gu Master frowned in disgust, "Wu Yunlan, among these Saintesses, you are the eldest. I had hoped you would set an example for the others, but unfortunately, my trust was misplaced."

The Gu Master did not say more. She simply raised her hand and a giant snake suddenly shot out of her sleeve, aiming straight for Wu Yunlan’s face.

Wu Yunlan failed to dodge in time and was bitten in the eyes by the python’s fangs.

The snake’s tongue flicked into Wu Yunlan’s mouth, draining her vitality bit by bit.

Wu Yunlan, like a withering old crone, gradually turned white-haired, her skin wrinkled, and soon she became a desiccated mummy.

The onlookers in the Divine Temple were horrified, especially the four Maids. Seeing the Black Snake was as terrifying as seeing Bai Junjun’s whip.

Only when Wu Yunlan had turned into a skeleton did the Gu Master decisively retract the snake.
