A chaotic battle erupted out of nowhere, and Bai Jing and Hei Feng started fighting each other.

Although Bai Gan was bewildered, she still consciously engaged Gao Qing, and the two were entangled in combat, fighting to a standstill.

Both Bai Jing and Hei Feng had calculations in mind for what was to come, the real show was yet to start, and for now, both sides were merely acting.

Finally, Hei Feng seized the opportunity, taking the lead by using the Golden Gu Silkworm, her body faintly shimmering with a golden color.

"You’re no match for me, have you finally resigned to sacrificing your life and using that strike from your Poison Dragon Gu Worm?"

Bai Jing didn’t respond, but like a venomous snake, he searched for an opening.

This was a rare opportunity, he just had to spray the poison hidden in his mouth and let the Golden Gu Silkworm absorb it, and Hei Feng would be doomed.

Of course, the Poison Dragon Gu Worm was to be used only as a last resort.

Hei Feng was also aware of his thoughts and deliberately approached Bai Jing with a golden aura, as if saying, "If you don’t accept it, hit me," and Bai Jing didn’t miss this opportunity. With a puff, he sprayed all the powder out, and not only that, Bai Jing also released the Flying Dust Gu Worm.

This Gu Worm was created specifically for generating smoke and dust, meant to conceal the powder he spat out.

Truth be told, he was indeed being cautious.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Bai Jing released the Explosive Gu Worm once again.

The Explosive Gu Worm is the most popular deadly Gu Worm in the Southern Border, where explosions are seen as an art form, hence the Southern Border people’s fondness for it.

Moreover, Explosive Gu Worms of different levels had varying degrees of power, and naturally, the one in Bai Jing’s hands was among the best of its kind.

First, let the poison take effect, reducing the defensive capabilities of the Golden Gu Silkworm. Relying on the Golden Gu Silkworm, Hei Feng would definitely be off guard. Then, the Explosive Gu Worm would land a direct and solid hit, which was sufficient to inflict serious injury.

At that moment, having the Poison Dragon Gu Worm bite her would essentially secure victory.

When the Explosive Gu Worm detonated upon its target, Bai Jing felt as though he had already won. He deployed the Poison Dragon Gu Worm for the fatal strike.

After the explosion ended and the dust settled, Bai Jing, full of confidence, looked towards where Hei Feng was supposed to be and suddenly froze.

He saw Hei Feng completely unharmed, holding the Poison Dragon Gu Worm in her hand.

The Poison Dragon Gu Worm was one of the three great miraculous Gu Worms, treacherous and vicious, and also Hei Feng’s most feared tactic.

Ordinarily, Hei Feng was confident she could fend off a bite from the Poison Dragon Gu Worm, but if Bai Jing was reckless enough to sacrifice his own life to power the Poison Dragon Gu Worm’s attack, that would be a different story.

If it was a regular fight, Bai Jing would never send out the Poison Dragon Gu Worm so easily. If he was really up against Hei Feng, he would resort to that ultimate tactic.

However, he thought that the Golden Gu Silkworm would lose its effectiveness; unexpectedly, the Poison Dragon Gu Worm struck the golden light barrier and was quickly subdued by Hei Feng.

Bai Jing was dumbfounded, staring at the gold light surrounding her in disbelief, which was exactly the shock Hei Feng wanted to see.

"Hahaha, are you wondering why things didn’t go as the intelligence reported? Why didn’t the Golden Gu Silkworm fail, and why didn’t you manage to kill me easily?"

With that laugh from Hei Feng, Gao Qing no longer tangled with Bai Gan but retreated to Hei Feng’s side, just in time for Hei Feng to explain.

"Actually, Gao Qing is my granddaughter. Her mother is my own daughter. The information given to you was to gain your trust. Otherwise, how would you willingly inhale the Silver Leaf Grass powder soaked in realgar, weakening the Poison Dragon Gu Worm with just a smell!

You’re still too young!"

"You!"

Bai Jing looked at Gao Qing in shock and anger, having thought he would be the biggest winner tonight, only to end up losing like this.

The turn of events came too quickly for him to accept.

At this moment, a handsome young man who was pursuing someone happened to pass by and upon seeing this scene, couldn’t help but sigh internally. Bai Jing had really let him down, he had thought him to be steady and deeply calculating.

Was he really so easily played by a woman?

That’s it?

Way too weak!

Lin Yun glanced over but didn’t bother to interfere in other people’s internal affairs. The Southern Border was just a small place in his eyes, not worth his attention.

And just as he was preparing to leave, a sudden change erupted.

Hei Feng, thinking she had victory in hand, was showing off with the Poison Dragon Gu Worm in front of Bai Jing, naturally, she had also retracted the Golden Gu Silkworm.

It was at this instant, a knife silently plunged into her back, fatally striking the Golden Gu Silkworm along with her.

This was a flame knife, and since the Golden Gu Silkworm is of the metal attribute, and the Five Elements teach that fire overcomes metal.

What Hei Feng hadn’t anticipated was that the Silver Leaf powder did indeed contain components that suppressed the activity of the Golden Gu Silkworm, but most importantly, she had completely let her guard down behind her, only to be stabbed in the heart by Gao Qing in one swift move.

Lin Yun was stunned on the spot.

Well, a spy within a spy within a spy?

Was there yet another twist?

Originally planning to leave, Lin Yun stayed to watch the drama unfold.

Hei Feng, puzzled, looked at Gao Qing, not understanding why she would strike at her.

She had clearly already won, and Gao Qing was to be the ruler of the Southern Border, so why would she do this?

"You..."

"This stab, is on behalf of my father," Gao Qing said.

Having said that, Gao Qing pulled out the knife and struck fiercely again.

"This stab, is on behalf of my mother."

Hei Feng groaned in pain but no longer had the strength to resist. As a spectator, Lin Yun couldn’t help but comment that things in the Southern Border were really going awry!

Though cultivation could be accelerated, lower and middle-level cultivators advanced more quickly, but the high-level ones were too weak.

Impressively powerful with a Gu Worm, but nothing without it.

Gao Qing’s flame knife was also poisoned, numbing Hei Feng and leaving her unable to exert any strength, totally defenseless.

If this were in the Central Plains, an Upper Realm Cultivator being ambushed could still slap the ambusher to death with the back of their hand.

Yes, initially, Hong Yue’s wife was also ambushed this way.

People in this world, they all like to stab from behind, it’s really too much.

Lin Yun is different, though, he only fires guns from behind, not knives.

Hei Feng originally thought that with these two stabs, it would all be over, but who knew, Gao Qing struck again.

"This stab, is for my brother!" she declared.

Only then did Hei Feng’s eyes widen in shock and uncertainty, "You don’t have a brother..."

"Xu Xifeng, he’s my brother. He’s not my half-brother from my mother, he is my true brother!"

"How is that possible!"

Hei Feng’s mind was in tumult, finally realizing where the problem lay.

Turns out, Gao Qing was not the first to betray her; her own daughter had already betrayed her. So many years had passed, and she had always believed her daughter was still loyal to her.

Now looking back, she seemed to have genuinely fallen for that man, yet still executed her own order to design his demise.

And Gao Qing was born only years after that man’s death, which is why Hei Feng had never doubted Gao Qing’s loyalty. Little did she know, her daughter and granddaughter had been playing such a long game.

"You forced my mother to kill my father, leaving me fatherless even before I was born. My mother’s years of endurance were all for today, for me, to seek their revenge!"

Lin Yun: "..."

Well, I’ll be damned, a spy within a spy within a spy...
