Chapter 479: Shiwan Grand Mountain In Shambles
Yun Jiuge surveyed her surroundings in shock. All she saw before her were miles after miles of brown, barren land. The place was a far cry from what it used to be.
What on earth did Yue Ling’er do to this place? Yun Jiuge wondered to herself.
The sight made Yun Jiuge feel extremely uneasy, and she decided to ask someone about what was going on. She immediately flew towards the valley where Wu Lan was at.
Upon reaching the valley, she noticed that the Ice Stone Building, the most prominent building in the whole valley, had vanished. There was nothing but empty land at where it used to be at. Yun Jiuge looked into the distance and saw a bonfire that was built from peach tree branches burning at the foot of the mountain.
There were countless Miao people who had been piled on top of one another above the bonfire. Half of their bodies had turned to stone, and their eyes were full of despair and fear.
“Elder sister, I don’t want to die. Please don’t burn me to death,” The person at the top of the pile was Wu Ya. The lower half of her body had already turned to stone, and her upper body was bound by a rope. She kept begging Wu Lan to spare her life.
“Younger sister, I’m sorry,” replied Wu Lan. Wu Lan, who had always been full of vigor and vitality, looked extremely worn out as she spoke. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face had turned pale.
Wu Lan stood before the bonfire with a firebrand in her hands and told Wu Ya in a pained voice, “The curse has begun to spread, and the Ice Stone can no longer hold back the curse on your bodies as well. The curse will only get worse if I don’t burn your bodies. Younger sister, I beg you. Please don’t hate me. I have no other choice but to do this.”
Wu Lan spoke in between sobs before she hurled the firebrand at the bonfire.
