Upon hearing Ji Wushang's words, Yi Yun Muchen lowered her arm, her large eyes flashing. "Please spare Jueshi, I will take him away."
Ji Wushang nodded, while Huangfu Xuan gave a soft "hmm" in response before walking to Nan Xuzong's side and saying, "Huangfu Lan is dead."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang immediately turned to look at Nan Xuzong and Huangfu Xuan. Huangfu Lan is dead? How did she die?
Wasn't Huangfu Lan plotting against Nan Xuzong?
Nan Xuzong's cold eyes darkened. "You know it's fine, there's no need to tell me!" Whether he lives or dies is none of my business!
"But since you killed her in your name, you should at least be informed!" Huangfu Xuan sneered.
"I also believe you've already taken care of the funeral arrangements." Nan Xuzong glanced at him. If he had to wait until he got back to deal with this, he might as well stop being this damn crown prince!
Huangfu Xuan listened and nodded.
Those around them were confused by their words. Ji Wushang looked at them and asked, "Has something happened?"
"It's nothing serious, Wu Shang, don't worry." Nan Xuzong smiled at this moment.
"No, I saw through the crystal ball that you were tricked by the Seventh Princess... and, moreover, I know that she gave you aphrodisiacs!" Seeing that he still didn't want to talk, Ji Wushang felt even more bitter.
Yes, he was framed, but if it really came true, he would still feel terrible.
“I already took the antidote, no matter what kind of medicine she gave me!” Nan Xuzong stepped forward and wiped away the tears from Ji Wushang’s eyes.
Huangfu Xuan's eyes were cold as he looked at Ji Wushang. "I was the one who killed Huangfu Lan. You know I can use my status as the Fourth Prince to do things!"
Ji Wushang was taken aback and immediately looked up at Huangfu Xuan. Did he mean that he was impersonating Nan Xuzong again?
“We were talking in the secret room. The Fourth Prince was worried about you, so naturally he came out to look for you. I also found some information about you being imprisoned here. So, I pretended to be the Fourth Prince and waited for Huangfu Lan to come to me, while the Fourth Prince came out to look for you.” Huangfu Xuan glanced at the gratitude in Ji Wushang’s eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips. “Huangfu Lan worked for the King of the Western Regions and schemed against the Fourth Prince. She deserves to die!”
But she's also your own sister... Yi Yun Muchen stepped back. This man is so ruthless!
"She was already poisoned by the King of the Western Regions, wasn't she? So by ending her life, I can reduce her suffering!" Huangfu Xuan sneered, meeting Yiyun Shangcheng's crimson eyes.
For Yiyun Shangcheng, it was just the death of one piece. Several pieces would die every day, so it had no impact on him!
Yi Yun Muchen couldn't help but back away as he listened. It was truly terrifying. All the evil had originated from his own brother, Yi Yun Shangcheng!
Ji Wushang took Yi Yun Muchen's hand and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."
Yi Yunmu nodded.
At this moment, Huangfu Xuan and Nan Xuzong exchanged a glance, and Nan Xuzong then said, "Wu Shang, Princess Muchen."
"Yes," the two replied immediately.
Bei Gong Jue Shi remained standing there motionless, while Yi Yun Shang Cheng watched, gripping his long sword even tighter. However, when his gaze fell upon Nan Xu Cong's expression, a sarcastic smile crept onto his lips.
Even if they were to defeat me now, it wouldn't end all of this!
Huangfu Xuan didn't wait any longer. He drew his longsword and flew forward. Nan Xuzong saw this scene and quickly followed.
Upon receiving a single glance from Yi Yun Shangcheng, Bei Gong Jue Shi immediately drew his sword and charged forward to kill Huangfu Xuan and Nan Xu Cong. Yi Yun Shangcheng unleashed his spiritual power, moving with incredible speed, determined to annihilate everything in his path!
The four men moved through the air like bolts of lightning, each unleashing their powerful martial arts, each determined to defeat the other. But it was not that easy!
The four elders watched them fight and gestured to each other to rush forward and snatch Yi Yun Muchen away. Upon seeing this, Ji Wushang immediately pulled out the Phoenix Jade Hairpin to block them.
The four elders looked at Ji Wushang, unsure of what to do. They all knew that if this woman were to unleash her power, none of them could stop her slaughter!
The potential within her had been stirring restlessly... but the four of them didn't understand that if they had killed Ji Wushang earlier, none of this would have happened, but their king...
Yiyun Shangcheng glanced at the four elders, unsure of what to do. One was the woman he loved, and the other was his younger sister, whose unborn child was the hope of the Great Western Regions! That was the future heir he had carefully nurtured!
However, these people are all going against my wishes, putting me in a difficult position!
Yi Yun Muchen looked at the four elders and said, "Get out of here! If you don't want my brother to die, you should persuade him to stop!"
"Your Highness..."
"Don't call me!" Yi Yun Muchen snorted coldly, but her gaze was now fixed on Bei Gong Jueshi's direction. "Jueshi!"
When Bei Gong Jue Shi heard Yi Yun Muchen suddenly call his name, and heard that tender voice that sounded like a dream, he was startled! In that instant, Nan Xu Cong seized the opportunity and thrust out his long sword, but at the last moment the blade deflected, and the golden thread in his hand struck Bei Gong Jue Shi!
Before Bei Gongjueshi could react, he was already falling to the ground in the next second!
Yi Yunmu looked on in astonishment, "Peerless!"
Upon hearing this startled cry, Bei Gong Jue Shi was taken aback, a strange glint flashing in his eyes!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was thinking of rescuing Bei Gong Jue Shi, but Huangfu Xuan had already stepped forward to stop Yi Yun Shangcheng from leaving!
"Damn it!" Yi Yun Shangcheng gritted her teeth in hatred, gathering a powerful force in her hand and attacking Huangfu Xuan!
Nan Xuzong turned and glanced at Beigong Jueshi, "Take him out!"
Yi Yun Muchen had already stepped forward to help Bei Gong Jue Shi up! Ji Wushang quickly followed, only to discover that Bei Gong Jue Shi had been struck on several acupoints by Nan Xu Cong with golden silk, rendering him unable to use martial arts or move.
"Quick!" Ji Wushang shouted, "Don't worry, Mu Chen, he'll be fine!"
"He...he can't move." Yi Yun Muchen cried as she looked at Ji Wushang, who nodded. "Quick!"
The four elders stood before Ji Wushang and Yi Yun Muchen, declaring, "You are not allowed to leave!"
Huangfu Xuan looked down at everything from mid-air, a cold smile playing on his lips. "What troublesome women!" He immediately launched the silver dart in his hand toward the four elders!
The four elders heard a sharp whistling sound behind them and knew it was a weapon. They immediately flew away. Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Wushang helped Yi Yun Muchen and Bei Gong Jueshi to get out quickly!
The four elders still wanted to keep Ji Wushang and the other two, but at that moment, several shadowy figures rushed in from outside! They were all well-trained black-clad guards!
Huangfu Xuan sneered, "King of the Western Regions, today is probably the day you die!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Yi Yun Shangcheng said, slashing his palm with his longsword, and black blood dripped onto the floor!
Ji Wushang looked surprised, then left without lingering, taking Yiyun Muchen and Beigong Jueshi with him!
All I could hear all around me were the sounds of fighting, but I couldn't turn around, I couldn't!
When they went outside, all around was pitch black, and Ji Wushang felt a chill in his heart.
Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at Yi Yun Muchen, and Yi Yun Muchen looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Jue Shi, Jue Shi, it's me, Muchen... Look at me, we'll be alright! We're having a baby, and the baby will be born soon."
Ji Wushang sighed inwardly, looked up into the distance, and saw a man wearing a light blue tracksuit standing not far away. Their eyes met.
"Young Master Bei." Ji Wushang called out first, thinking it was someone else, but it was him.
Bei Gongminhao was startled, but quickly regained his composure. His gaze shifted to Bei Gongjueshi and Yi Yun Muchen. He was overjoyed to see Bei Gongjueshi!
He intended to hurry over, but unexpectedly felt a sharp pain in his heart. Bei Gongminhao composed himself before slowly walking over. "This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's leave quickly!"
Ji Wushang looked at him, "Young Master Bei is injured?"
"It's alright, thank you!" Bei Gong Minhao suppressed his emotions and tried his best to keep his expression from showing any extra emotion as he quickly helped Bei Gong Jueshi up.
Ji Wushang helped Yi Yunmu Chen, and several black-clad figures followed to protect them before leaving immediately.
In the underground palace, Nan Xuzong, Huangfu Xuan, and the others were shocked to see countless black corpses emerge from the ground as drops of blood from Yiyun Shangcheng fell to the ground! They were like demonic messengers from hell, taking lives without a trace of emotion!
Yiyun Shangcheng was furious. He resembled a demon king from hell, with blood-red demonic eyes and flowing black hair. He floated in mid-air, pointing his long sword at Huangfu Xuan, Nan Xuzong, and the others, shouting, "Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
In an instant, the black corpses surged forward, each conjuring a longsword in its hand, and attacked Nan Xuzong, Huangfu Xuan, and the others. Although the black-clad figures were also highly skilled in martial arts, they were all stunned when they saw the black corpses. Countless black corpses plunged their swords into the bodies of the black-clad figures, and when they pulled them out, the figures were already corpses lying on the ground!
Nan Xuzong was surprised. He threw out the golden thread in his hand, which temporarily suppressed the approaching black corpses with divine power, but Yi Yunshangcheng had already flown forward!
Huangfu Xuan's face twitched, but the next second he remembered that Ma Ruyi had given him the method to defeat the black corpse, and he had also given this method to Nan Xuzong... "Fourth brother, where is the paper I gave you to subdue the black corpse?" Huangfu Xuan shouted loudly.
"Here it is!" Upon hearing this, Nan Xuzong immediately took it out of his pocket. Huangfu Xuan immediately rushed in front of him to shield Nan Xuzong, giving him a moment to look at the paper!
"Blood Array... Second Brother, join forces!" Nan Xuzong shouted loudly, immediately stuffing the paper into his bosom, and with a light step, flew into the air.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xuan quickly joined forces with him. Yi Yun Shangcheng watched as the long sword pointed at the black corpses, and the black corpses immediately attacked Nan Xu Cong and Huangfu Xuan!
Too many black-clad shadows died, and those black corpses turned into black water after being killed and falling to the ground. But anyone who got their hands on it would be poisoned and die!
Nan Xuzong and Huangfu Xuan unleashed their inner strength. Nan Xuzong used his previous wounds to inject blood into the formation, and the powerful force poured towards the black corpses. Instantly, the black corpses disappeared like a gentle breeze!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was shocked to see that powerful force was attacking him! Yi Yun Shangcheng tried to resist it alone, but it was too late! In an instant, he fell from mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his face deathly pale!
Nan Xuzong leaped forward, intending to kill Yiyun Shangcheng, but the four elders, oblivious to their own mortality, rushed forward and attacked Nan Xuzong!
Yiyun Shangcheng collapsed to the ground, his mouth filled with the taste of blood. He took out a small bottle from his pocket, and the black miasma immediately ignited!
Huangfu Xuan, with his sharp eyes, immediately leaped forward and grabbed Nan Xuzong, shouting, "Let's go!"
The surrounding shadowy figures, tainted by the miasma, instantly turned black and died in agony! Nan Xuzong was astonished and immediately followed Huangfu Xuan away!
Yiyun Shangcheng's hand fell limply to her side, and the bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Your Majesty!" The four elders immediately stepped forward.
Huangfu Xuan and Nan Xuzong walked out of the underground palace. As they turned back, Huangfu Xuan immediately ordered, "Men, burn down the underground palace for me! Seal the entrance, and kill anyone who comes out!"
"Yes!" the accompanying guard immediately replied.
The night grew increasingly quiet.
Ji Wushang stayed quietly in the room, sitting in front of the dressing mirror for who knows how long.
In the past two or three days, so many things have happened one after another, it's hard to keep track of them all. And now another wave is coming, it feels like I can't even breathe properly.
Yi Yun Muchen and Bei Gong Jue Shi went to the Crown Prince's residence (after Huangfu Xuan became the Crown Prince, the Xuan Wang residence was immediately converted into the Crown Prince's residence), and Bei Gong Min Hao naturally followed along.
They were waiting for tomorrow; tomorrow, they would secretly go to Wudang Mountain.
Nan Xuzong had already gone to sleep; he was exhausted. He had several injuries, but fortunately, he knew how to treat himself, so he immediately applied medicine, but he was still very sleepy.
Ji Wushang took good care of him and helped him to sleep.
But I couldn't fall asleep at all. As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see people dying tragically in front of me, my hands stained with blood... I told myself that it was all in the past and I should learn to let go. I had no choice but to do it... But my mind just wouldn't listen to me.
Ji Wushang removed the phoenix jade hairpin from her hair and set it aside.
She looked in the mirror and then picked up a comb to brush her hair, but her mind was still preoccupied with other things.
Yi Yun Shangcheng said that all of this was arranged in advance, and that Nan Xu Cong had been deceiving her all along. He used his love to lock her heart, but in the end, he still wanted to take her life... Ji Wushang looked up at herself in the mirror, but she did not expect that at this moment, Yi Yun Shangcheng would appear behind her!
"Ah!" Ji Wushang shouted loudly and immediately turned around to look behind him! But there was no one behind him. Ji Wushang was scared half to death, his face covered in cold sweat. At this moment, Nan Xuzong walked out of the inner room quickly, "Wushang?"
"I, I'm fine." Ji Wushang looked at him and felt relieved. She put down the comb and went forward.
Nan Xuzong noticed the slight panic on her face and knew that she was probably overthinking things again.
He stepped forward and hugged her. "Don't overthink it. It's all in the past. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." Ji Wushang nodded, burying her head in his chest, but she felt a sense of oppression and wanted to cry. She secretly wiped away her tears in his arms. He gently patted her shoulder and then placed his hand on her back. "Cry, I'm here." He smiled, as if coaxing a little girl, and held her in his arms before turning into the inner room.
He was also extremely tired, but he knew she needed his comfort, so he preferred to put himself in the back.
