Yi Yunshangcheng smiled and said, "Alright, I will take you there!" He raised his arm and then secretly increased the force, and the stone door immediately opened.
Ji Wushang held him even tighter.
"Go!" Ji Wushang looked at him and immediately gave the order.
Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled and obediently walked forward, gently breathing in the fragrance emanating from her, his heart filled with happiness! Ji Wushang took this opportunity to wipe the blood from his face and then followed him out.
The surroundings seemed quiet, and Ji Wushang had assumed there were countless guards or maids waiting for him, but he couldn't see a single one! Suspicious, he thought, "The King of the Western Regions is strange and despicable. Since no one is here now, I'd better get things done quickly! If anyone is here, I'll make them get lost immediately!"
"Where are you going? Tell me now!" Ji Wushang looked at him and asked sharply.
Yiyun looked at her from the city, and then suddenly smiled, "So what if you see them?"
"Take them away!" Ji Wushang sneered, "Then kill you!"
"You can't kill me, the king," Yiyun Shangcheng sneered.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in from outside. Yi Yun Shangcheng was extremely alert and immediately grabbed Ji Wushang in his arms, effectively imprisoning her! His large hand was gripping Ji Wushang's neck!
"You!" Ji Wushang exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't you injured?"
"That was just now, not now!" Yiyun Shangcheng breathed hot air into her face, then immediately looked ahead!
"Since you're already here, come out! You don't actually want to watch me and her being all lovey-dovey, do you?" Yiyun Shangcheng sneered.
Ji Wushang was stunned. Everything that had just happened meant that he had been faking it all! And now, was it really him? Ji Wushang looked ahead, and sure enough, Nan Xuzong emerged from the darkness!
His eyes were filled with resentment. He looked at Yiyun Mountain City, then at Ji Wushang. When he saw the bloodstains on Ji Wushang's face, as well as on Yiyun Mountain City's arms and robe, he was shocked. "Wushang, you're injured?"
"I...I didn't." Ji Wushang's face turned deathly pale. That blood wasn't his; it belonged to the old man Pan Yao...it belonged to Yiyun Upper City!
Nan Xuzong's eyes darkened. He stepped forward and said, "Let her go." The three words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, as if he had crushed them before they came out!
It was an invisible pressure, but for Evian Upper City, it was a provocation, the beginning of a battle!
Ji Wushang was dragged backward by Yi Yunshang, trying to get rid of his entanglement, but he was already fighting back!
"Guess whose blood this is? If you guess right, I'll grant you a complete corpse!" Yi Yun Shangcheng chuckled, his large hand gripping Ji Wushang's waist, brazenly beginning to move around in front of him!
Ji Wushang felt he should die! Yiyun Shangcheng had absolutely humiliated him in front of Nan Xuzong! And now, he had actually dared to make liberties with him in front of Nan Xuzong. How could Nan Xuzong possibly view him after this? How could he possibly face Nan Xuzong again?!
Nan Xuzong seemed oblivious to Yiyun Shangcheng's provocation, drawing his soft sword as he stepped forward. "It's your blood!"
"Wrong!" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled. "Then you'll just have to die a horrible death!" He laughed arrogantly, and instantly, the five elders appeared behind him!
Nan Xuzong's dark eyes were like an abyss, within which burned a wisp of flame that grew ever stronger!
"That's the blood of your master, the old man Pan Yao." Yi Yun Shang Cheng's lips were so cold that they could freeze Ji Wu Shang's entire body when he spoke those words! Yes, Ji Wu Shang felt as if he were about to die at that moment, because the next second, he heard Yi Yun Shang Cheng say, "It was Wu Shang who killed him."
Ji Wushang's face was completely bloodless; she probably wasn't breathing anymore! She saw Nan Xuzong's face turn dark!
His dark eyes looked at Ji Wushang. He stepped forward, approaching step by step. Ji Wushang felt a powerful killing intent, and the oppressive atmosphere made her heart ache. She wished she could just die!
Why force myself to face such a scene? I know all too well the significance of the old man Pan Yao to Nan Xuzong. Nan Xuzong was unable to walk when he was six years old and almost lost his life; it was the old man Pan Yao who saved him! And now, I have killed his benefactor!
"I, I..." Ji Wushang looked at Nan Xuzong, completely at a loss for words, while Yiyun Shangcheng, who was imprisoning him behind him, remained as unrestrained as ever! He let out a wicked laugh, "Nan Xuzong, how do you feel? How do you feel the pain of that loss? I'm telling you, you will definitely have to endure an even more painful loss!"
Nan Xuzong looked at Ji Wushang, his eyes filled with resentment and sorrow. He looked at her, "Wushang..."
"No, no... Cong, I didn't kill him, no, I, I killed him by mistake... It was Yi Yun Shang Cheng! He was holding my hand, and then, and then..." Before Ji Wu Shang could finish speaking, Yi Yun Shang Cheng pressed her pressure points!
"Why bother explaining so much? Wu Shang, you've killed him, so be it. You'll get used to it!" He smiled and turned to look at Nan Xu Cong. "Nan Xu Cong, look who's behind you."
Upon hearing Yi Yunshang's words, Ji Wushang immediately looked behind Nan Xuzong, speechless with surprise, "The second son of the king!"
Upon confirming that Yi Yun Shangcheng was not lying, Nan Xuzong immediately turned his head. Just then, Bei Gong Jueshi had already drawn his long sword and flew towards Nan Xuzong to slash at him!
Nan Xuzong deftly dodged it!
Then he landed a little away from them and stood firm. "Jue Shi?" Nan Xu Cong looked at Yi Yun Shang Cheng and immediately asked, "Where is Princess Mu Chen?" One of his purposes in coming here was to take Bei Gong Jue Shi and Yi Yun Mu Chen away! This could also be considered as repaying Bei Gong Min Hao's kindness!
I hope that Bei Gong Jue Shi or Huang Fu Xuan, or someone else, will see the code I left behind and find this place! I can't be in too many places at once!
The five elders stepped forward and, together with Bei Gong Jue Shi, surrounded Nan Xu Cong!
Seeing her extremely worried expression, Ji Wushang slid a silver needle out of her sleeve. Taking advantage of Yi Yunshangcheng's momentary lapse in attention as she looked at Nan Xuzong and the others, she immediately thrust the silver needle back into Yi Yunshangcheng's hand!
It struck a nerve in Yiyun Shangcheng! Yiyun Shangcheng had no choice but to release Ji Wushang, who immediately rushed towards Nan Xuzong!
"Stop her!" Yi Yun shouted from the city, but Nan Xuzong acted even faster! He leaped forward and pulled Ji Wushang into his arms.
His dark eyes met Ji Wushang's, and Ji Wushang was also looking at him. But in the next moment, tears welled up in Ji Wushang's eyes!
He thought he was in the study... he thought he wouldn't come, he thought he couldn't find this place, he thought he wouldn't care about him anymore!
So many good things were expected, but now he's here, and he's still holding on to himself!
But Ji Wushang knew all too well that he was a burden!
The inner conflict made her feel even more distressed, and tears flowed endlessly.
Nan Xuzong looked at her, ignoring the five elders and Beigong Jueshi who had come forward to surround him again. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ji Wushang's eyes, took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom, and then wiped away the bloodstains on Ji Wushang's face.
He was so gentle, and his eyes were so captivating!
Ji Wushang felt even more guilty towards him! The death of the old man Panyao was because of him! Didn't he feel remorse? Didn't he want to punish him?
"Cong, I...I'm so sorry..."
"Don't cry, okay?" His tone was still so gentle, as if he had never experienced anything like this before! It made her feel like she was in Moxuan Garden, where he was doting on her, speaking to her gently and warmly.
"Mmm." Ji Wushang sobbed softly, nodded as she listened to his words, and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Nan Xuzong lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Wu Shang, I want you to forget all the unpleasant things. You don't need to blame yourself. It was Yi Yun Shangcheng who killed Master, and I will naturally seek revenge on him! So, Wu Shang, you don't need to blame yourself. Be good."
Ji Wushang's tears flowed again, and then he nodded.
"I'm entrusting you with something important now. You must be careful... Find an opportunity..." Nan Xuzong whispered a few words in her ear, then kissed her on the cheek. "Wu Shang, no matter what you've done, I will forgive you... I love you, I love you so much."
He looked at her and smiled broadly.
Ji Wushang felt speechless, but he had heard everything the man had said and he was determined to do what the man had told him!
Yiyun Shangcheng then pulled the silver needles from her arm and looked at them. Blood was still dripping onto the ground, but this blood was now black...
His expression darkened as he recalled the first time he met Ji Wushang.
It was such a fleeting glimpse, yet back then I couldn't believe I would fall for this woman! I was arrogant then, so disdainful, so full of the words, "I am the future king of the Western Regions, what kind of woman can't I have?"
But now that I think about it, it seems so ridiculous.
He could not escape her deadly presence. Only where she breathed did he feel that life had a purpose.
That redemption ten years ago saved his life and his soul, and now, all he wants is to return his soul to her, but it has turned into this scene again.
In life, who ultimately saves whom?
Isn't she pushing him into an endless abyss right now? She's always so heartless...
However, he never regretted it.
Yiyun Shangcheng smiled slightly. "Did he give you these silver needles?"
Ji Wushang and Nan Xuzong stood together, looking at Yiyun Upper City through Beigong Jueshi and the five elders.
I bought those silver needles myself; I just got used to them and often carried them with me for self-defense.
When Yiyun Shangcheng did not receive an answer, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He placed the silver needle in his hand and held it.
The silver needle instantly turned into powder and then flowed down from Yiyun Shangcheng's hand.
Ji Wushang recalled the love letter Nan Xuzong had once given her, which had also been torn to pieces by Yiyun Shangcheng, and her eyes burned with suppressed anger.
Nan Xuzong was furious, but he knew he had to use a clever trick, not a brute force! He was alone, and he didn't know the martial arts skills of these five old men. He looked at them. They had clearly changed into new white robes, and their faces had been washed, making it seem as if they hadn't fought at all!
Ji Wushang leaned closer to Nan Xuzong and said softly, "Among the five elders, Elder Mu and Elder Shui are already injured."
"Mm." Nan Xuzong nodded.
But looking at Beigong Jueshi, he couldn't afford to hurt him! Otherwise, he would truly owe the Beigong family a debt he could never repay!
Ji Wushang looked at Yiyun Shangcheng and said, "The King of the Western Regions was struck by my master's palm before. I used a golden hairpin to stab his arm, but I don't know why he seems to be unharmed now!"
Nan Xuzong nodded, "Okay." Yi Yun Shangcheng appeared unharmed, but her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at him—this was clearly abnormal! She must have used some kind of Gu poison! He used it most often!
Nan Xuzong lowered his head and looked at Ji Wushang, "Remember what I said!"
Ji Wushang nodded solemnly, determined to live up to his expectations!
Yi Yun Shangcheng narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. Bei Gong Jue Shi received the signal from Yi Yun Shangcheng and immediately attacked Nan Xu Cong!
Ji Wushang immediately ran to another part of the palace!
The reason Nan Xuzong took so long to arrive here is because he had explored almost the entire area! Moreover, he spent a long time searching before entering this underground palace and prepared multiple secret signals upon entering!
Nan Xuzong leaped forward, blocking the attacks of Bei Gong Jueshi and the five elders! His figure seemed to split into several people, launching a fierce attack on them!
Yi Yun Shangcheng watched Nan Xu Cong's flawless martial arts and was secretly amazed. His eyes burned with excitement, and the bloodthirsty factor within him was throbbing! He loved this feeling! He had finally met his match!
Kill him, and the world, the beautiful Wushang, will all be yours!
At this moment, Nan Xuzong was only thinking about protecting Ji Wushang and leaving, so he exerted his inner strength to attack these people.
The five elders, who were also very familiar with the situation, realized that they couldn't defeat Nan Xuzong by fighting separately, so they quickly gathered together, surrounded the city, and set up a formation!
Nan Xuzong changed his moves, throwing a smoke bomb at the path Ji Wushang was walking towards!
Upon seeing this, Ji Wushang quickly turned into another path and walked into the corridor that looked like a white palace lantern.
Yi Yun Shangcheng kept her eyes fixed on Nan Xu Cong and Ji Wu Shang, but she didn't expect Nan Xu Cong to dare to use smoke bombs here! She immediately activated her internal energy to disperse all the smoke bombs!
What we saw was that Nan Xuzong had already taken advantage of the smoke to move forward in a flash, and his long sword had plunged into Elder Shui's chest!
Elder Shui was just thinking about going forward to set up the formation!
Yi Yun Shangcheng felt a pang of pain in her heart. The five elders had watched her grow up since childhood and had assisted her in her development! When she was injured, it was the five elders who worked together to cast spells to help her recover quickly! But now, Elder Shui was dead! If he was dead, the five of them would never be able to work together to cast spells again!
This also means that from now on, these five elders will inevitably die one by one!
We share life and death.
Resentment replaced her pain in Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes. She drew her sword and immediately joined the fight! But she forgot to check where Ji Wushang was!
Ji Wushang cautiously walked deeper into the area, determined to make the most of his time!
He'll be fine. Even with so many people around, he'll definitely be able to handle it!
He is my god, my faith, my motivation! Nan Xuzong will definitely be alright!
