He put away the Jade Bed, and in a flash, he chased after it.
Soon, he spotted a dark figure, which sped away through the night like a gust of wind.
Actually, with his superb lightness skill, catching up with his opponent wouldn't be a difficult task.
However, he did not catch up immediately, but followed closely behind the other person, wanting to see where the other person was leading him.
Soon, he caught up with them in a dark wilderness.
In the wilderness, a temple stands faintly: Guan Sheng Temple!
I never expected it to be the Guan Sheng Temple.
At the same time, he was basically able to determine the other party's identity.
The other party is very likely to be: Granny Wushuang.
Granny Wushuang is the guardian of Wushuang City, and she has protected Wushuang City for her entire life.
This character also appears in the TV series "Wind and Cloud," namely Mingjing, Mingyue's grandmother, an extremely annoying old witch.
In the drama, Mingjing hates Nie Feng to the bone. He is stubborn, ruthless and even after being killed by the fake Dugu Yifang, he still helps the fake Dugu Yifang in the end, which is unbelievable.
However, the Peerless Granny in the original novel is not like that.
In the original novel, Granny Wushuang was quite cunning. Most importantly, her martial arts skills were in no way inferior to those of the fake Dugu Yifang, which was a huge difference from the Granny in the TV series who only pressured Mingyue.
Li Yao saw from afar that the dark figure had already slipped into the Guansheng Temple.
Without hesitation, he went straight to the Guansheng Temple and entered it.
The temple was very dark, with no candles.
However, with Li Yao's five senses, he could easily see in the dark.
The temple is not very large, but the statue of Guan Yu, the God of War, inside is quite large, about the height of a person. He holds the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and rides the Red Hare, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.
At that moment, he heard a faint rustling sound coming from behind the statue of Guan Yu.
He slowly approached, preparing to move the statue of Guan Gong to see what was behind it.
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and a hissing sound rang out.
Oh no, it's explosives!
In the blink of an eye, Li Yao vanished from the Guansheng Temple.
Bang!
A loud bang.
In an instant, a violent explosion occurred throughout the Guansheng Temple.
The explosive force was so strong that it instantly shattered the entire Guansheng Temple into pieces, sending sparks flying everywhere.
Immediately, the Guansheng Temple was engulfed in flames.
Meanwhile, ten feet away from the sea of fire, Li Yao stood tall and quietly watched the raging flames.
What a ruthless scheme!
This invincible old woman deliberately lured him here, intending to blow him up. She's truly cunning.
However, the small explosives were of course no match for Li Yao.
Suddenly, Li Yao turned around, looked at a dark forest, and said loudly, "Now that you're here, don't hide there like a ghost."
A moment later, the soft sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
Then, a man riding a horse slowly emerged from the woods.
That horse, its entire body was as red as blood, looked like Red Hare!
The person riding on horseback was none other than a man of steel.
Not only is he a man, but he's a truly astonishing man!
The man's face was flushed red, his beard and hair reached his chest, and he held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade that was over seven feet long!
Moreover, this man exuded an invincible and domineering aura, a breathtaking and captivating aura!
This man's appearance was exactly the same as that of Guan Gong in the Guan Sheng Temple.
This man's attire was exactly the same as Guan Yu's.
Could this man be Guan Yu, who lived over a thousand years ago?
Li Yao certainly wouldn't think that way.
He knew that the person in front of him was very likely Granny Wushuang in disguise.
He smiled and said, "So it was you who led me here?"
After a long silence, the 'man' finally spoke.
However, 'he' seemed to be muttering to himself:
"I once said that as long as my soul remains, I will never allow Wushuang City to fall into the hands of anyone..."
"This heart, even after thousands of years, will always remain the same..."
"An unchanging heart!"
The voice was old and hoarse, seemingly a man's voice.
Li Yao sneered and said, "Stop playing tricks on me. Aren't you a descendant of Guan Yu and Hua En?"
"How...how did you know?"
Grandma Wushuang trembled violently.
Clearly, she hadn't expected Li Yao to see through her identity so easily.
Indeed, she is a descendant of Guan Yu and Hua En, and Hua En was Hua Tuo's only daughter.
More than a thousand years ago, Hua Tuo performed bone-scraping surgery on Guan Yu.
Because Guan Yu was poisoned by the "Three-Day Soul-Snatching" poison, he needed to be a virgin to cure it.
As a result, Hua En had a relationship with Guan Yu and gave birth to a son.
Guan Yu had a first wife, also known as Lady Wushuang: Dugu Lian'er.
Later, when Guan Yu died in battle, Hua En blamed Lady Wushuang for not stopping Guan Yu from going into battle and publicly berated her.
Later, Hua En and her son were chased and killed. Madam Wushuang disregarded past grievances and did her best to rescue them, but was seriously injured in the process.
Hua En felt extremely guilty. Although he saved Madam Wushuang with his superb medical skills, she could only live for a year.
After Lady Wushuang died, Hua En vowed that she and her descendants would silently protect Dugu City (also known as Wushuang City) and the city of Lady Wushuang's descendants.
Although all of Lady Wushuang's sons with Guan Yu died on the battlefield, Dugu City was inherited by Lady Wushuang's second younger brother.
However, Hua En still kept her vow and silently protected the city.
This secret is known to no one except the eldest son of the Dugu family.
Even Dugu Yifang was unaware of her existence.
Of course, she didn't know that Sword Saint Dugu Jian had already told this secret to the fake Dugu Yifang.
Chapter 213 Invincible Overlord, Love Across Seven Lifetimes
Granny Wushuang never expected that Dugu Yifang would be killed.
Despite his cruelty and ruthlessness, Dugu Yifang was not a qualified city lord.
However, as a descendant of Hua En, she kept her ancestors' oath and was determined to protect Wushuang City at all costs and prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders.
Therefore, she deliberately lured Li Yao to the Guan Sheng Temple, and was willing to blow up the statue of Guan Sheng in order to bury Li Yao there.
Unfortunately, her wicked scheme failed.
To her shock, Li Yao seemed to have known beforehand that it was a trap, and had actually run out of the Guansheng Temple before the explosives detonated.
What shocked her even more was that Li Yao actually knew her identity.
She exclaimed in surprise, "How...how did you know?"
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "Not only do I know that you are a descendant of Guan Yu and Hua En, but I also know that there is a divine skill hidden underground: Love That Shatters the City. Tell me, where is the mechanism to open the underground cave?"
"It seems you know quite a few secrets."
Granny Wushuang was startled once again.
Immediately, a fierce killing intent ignited in her eyes, and she said coldly, "In that case, I can no longer let you live in this world."
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand moved.
Those were hands wearing silver-threaded gloves, tightly gripping the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
The gloves were made of silver thread and embroidered with a lifelike dragon.
Both the dragon and the hand exude an aura of unparalleled dominance, as if they were invincible and could conquer the heavens and the earth!
That was the most unparalleled and domineering aura in the world without any reason!
brush!
In an instant, a slash came down.
A dazzling light flashed by.
Suddenly, a gap ten feet wide was cleaved open in the night.
This earth-shattering strike—who in this world could withstand it?
Granny Wushuang was very confident that Li Yao would definitely not be able to withstand her earth-shattering strike.
"Is this what they mean by 'love spanning seven lifetimes'?"
An excited look appeared on Li Yao's face, and his right hand, which was hanging down, was already clenched into a fist.
The muscles in his fist bulged, and a deep red aura seemed to swirl around it.
