I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 34 Emerge
"Lord Mo, you are truly cruel. You even abandoned your own daughter. You have deceived all of us."

"What do you mean? What do you mean my father treats me as an abandoned child?" Mo Ruyan's expression changed drastically and she shouted anxiously.

Maybe she didn't realize it, or maybe she already realized it but was afraid to admit it in her heart.

Lai Yang, on the other hand, showed no expression when he heard this. He thought to himself, as expected, he had actually guessed it a long time ago.

But he didn't want to make it clear to Mo Ruyan, for fear that it would upset her and cause more trouble in this pessimistic situation.

"Don't you understand? Lord Mo used you as bait and placed Silver Armored Guards around you, even with the personal protection of a martial arts master. His goal was to lure us in and divert some of his attention to you, making it easier for him to escape from under our noses. He didn't even trust you to complete his mission. Even the Tiger Talisman and Silver Armor Token he gave you were fake."

"We've all been fooled by your father, that cunning fox. He pretended to value family ties, but it was all a facade, designed to dissuade us from suspecting he might be using you as bait. He used you and two or three other Grandmasters to hold back a Grandmaster like me and part of the imperial court's power. It was a truly profound scheme. Even His Majesty was tricked by your father."

Wan Yunxiang looked at Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang with a gloomy expression.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave. You must follow me back to the Forbidden Guards' prison and wait for His Majesty's orders to capture them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two forbidden martial arts guards rushed towards Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang without hesitation, attempting to subdue and tie them up.

At the same time, after enduring for so long, Lai Yang finally showed his fangs.

He drew his sword, and the sharp sword light swept across like the bright moon, and the sword energy swept out and cut off everything.

The two forbidden weapon guards' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly changed their offense and defense, holding their weapons in front of their chests to block.

Seeing this, Wan Yunxiang narrowed his eyes and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

The sword energy is radiating outwards. This kid is so young, yet he is actually a martial arts master.

Wan Yunxiang attacked instantly without any hesitation.

He saved two forbidden martial arts guards who were almost killed by the sword energy, and a terrifying aura burst out from his body and hit Lai Yang.

Lai Yang's expression remained unchanged. He placed his right palm on the hilt of the sword, and the sword light came out of his body, slashing several times in one breath.

Seven or eight sword energies, like a hurricane, attacked Wan Yunxiang's internal energy at the same time with astonishing power.

The moment the two forces intertwined and collided, there was an explosion, and the powerful energy aftermath swept across, raising a cloud of dust.

Wan Yunxiang was forced back dozens of meters by the residual force of the explosion and was terrified.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the figures of Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang had disappeared.

He didn't expect that Lai Yang, who was poisoned, would dare to escape with Mo Ruyan.

What he didn't expect the most was that the opponent's strength was hidden so deeply, and the power caused by the previous attack could actually force him back.

If they were allowed to escape, with his talent, he would become a serious threat to them in the future.

"Chase!"

"As ordered."

Lai Yang held Mo Ruyan in a princess-like position and moved back and forth between the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed, leaving a trail of afterimages like lightning.

Mo Ruyan nervously hugged his neck tightly, her face full of surprise and amazement.

When did he become so strong that he could actually force Wan Yunxiang to retreat? You know, in her impression, Wan Yunxiang is a top master at the grandmaster level.

She had rarely seen the other person being humiliated.

"Liu Yang, you..."

"Hush, we can talk after we're safe. Right now, we should focus on escaping. I'm not 100% sure I can defeat him, so I can only take you away first."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan immediately covered her mouth obediently, fearing that it would affect Lai Yang.

Lai Yang held Mo Ruyan and sprinted at full speed towards Beijiang City. He could sense Wan Yunxiang's presence chasing him closely from behind.

Lai Yang frowned and cursed in his heart:
"This old man is so annoying." "If I didn't have someone on my side, I would definitely turn around and beat you up."

"If you could give me a little more time, I would just step on you and rub you on the ground, damn thing."

"Stop! Even if you can run away, no one can remove the Heart-Erosion Pill in your body. Let go of Mo Ruyan and surrender to me, and you can still live." Wan Yunxiang's loud voice sounded from behind.

Lai Yang was disdainful in his heart. What kind of rubbish poison pill is this? You think you can poison me? By the time it takes effect, it will have turned into fart.

You still want to shake me at this point, Lao Deng, I'll see how long you can pursue me.

Lai Yang exerted force again, and his speed attribute of more than 400 points made him seem like the wind was blowing under his feet. Coupled with his strong physique far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists, under normal circumstances, he would not feel tired even if he ran for three days and three nights while holding Mo Ruyan.

Although Lord Mo had deceived them, he would definitely not sit idly by as long as they could return to Beijiang City alive.

No matter what, Mo Ruyan is his daughter.

If Lord Mo really wants to rebel, the reputation of being righteous is of vital importance to him.

Even if he had indeed abandoned Mo Ruyan as a pawn, as long as they went back, he had to save her.

Otherwise, once this matter gets out, it will definitely greatly damage King Tongwu's reputation in the world.

It is impossible for a smart person like him not to know the truth that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters.

Moreover, he really had no better place to go with Mo Ruyan, so he could only run towards Beijiang City.

Wan Yunxiang looked at the receding figures of Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan, his expression extremely grim. He said with a dark face, "Damn it, that damn kid is born in the Year of the Rabbit, right? He's carrying such a big person in his arms, and he's still moving so fast? I'll see how you die when the Heart-Erosion Pill takes effect."

Wan Yunxiang understood that with Lai Yang around, it would be impossible for them to catch up with them, so he immediately took his men back to the imperial city to report.

Lai Yang ran with Mo Ruyan for half an hour, and there was no trace of Wan Yunxiang and others behind them.

He didn't dare to let his guard down. He planned to take Mo Ruyan back to Beijiang City as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, once others react and build fortifications, it will be difficult to break through the encirclement.

Mo Ruyan's frail body could not withstand the wind pressure caused by Lai Yang's high-intensity running. He had been protecting her with his internal energy, so his strength was consumed very rapidly.

Half a day later, Lai Yang's face looked a little pale, and he had to stop for a while to rest and meditate to regulate his breathing.

When Mo Ruyan saw Lai Yang's pale face, sweating profusely and trying his best to protect her, she felt both moved and guilty.

"Liuyang, are you okay? If things really don't work out, just leave me alone and run away. They won't kill me."

"It's okay, just let me rest for a while. The carriage is gone, and we can only rely on our own two feet for the rest of the journey."

Mo Ruyan wanted to take out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Lai Yang's sweat, but unexpectedly found that the handkerchief was lost at some point.

After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed her sleeve and slowly raised her hand to wipe the sweat off the other person's cheek, her beautiful eyes filled with heartache.

Lai Yang opened his eyes and looked at Mo Ruyan strangely: "What are you doing?"

"To wipe your sweat." Mo Ruyan said as a matter of course.

"Is it appropriate for you, a princess, to wipe my sweat with your sleeve?"

"What's inappropriate about that? You saved my life, twice."

"Need not."

"Don't worry about me. I'll wipe it if I want to."

Lai Yang didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he said helplessly, "Forget it, whatever you want."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Lai Yang simply closed his eyes again and concentrated on practicing martial arts to regulate his breathing, blood, and internal strength.
