Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 240 The Whereabouts of the Snow Phoenix

Mo Ruilin raised an eyebrow, "What evidence?"

"I don't understand either, but she said that women's intuition is never wrong. And one day she found rouge on King Hanxi's clothes and a woman's handkerchief on his body."

"Xingyue," Mo Ruilin sighed, "Can you get to the point?"

Mo Xingyue was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to get to the point, but she had listened to the concubine of King Hanxi and the concubine Li talking a lot, which involved some private matters in the boudoir that were difficult to talk about. She finally listened to the whole thing with her ears perked up and summarized the key points.

"The point is that she said the pattern embroidered on the handkerchief was weird. She even drew it. I also found it weird, but it also looked familiar." Mo Xingyue said as she dipped her finger in the wine and drew a pattern on the table.

That is the curved yin and yang line in the Tai Chi diagram, two above and below, with a circle in the middle.

"What does this mean?" Mo Ruilin was very confused.

Wei Yunzhou frowned slightly, "Turn it up and take a look."

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin both tilted their heads to look, but still didn't understand.

"It's her." Wei Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief. "This symbol was drawn by Xue Huang when she was very young. She said this symbol means asking for help."

"I also remember that there seemed to be this strange pattern on the bottle she stuffed into my hand three years ago," Mo Xingyue said, "but I thought it was just a random pattern at the time. So when the concubine of King Hanxi drew this thing, I felt like I had seen it at Xuehuang's place."

Gu Qinglan said, "The fact that there is such ability in Shangyang City and this symbol just happened to appear is enough to prove that the Snow Phoenix should be in the hands of King Han Xi."

"Then let's go and rescue her quickly." Mo Xingyue said.

"Now that we have a clue, we can't let it go." Mo Ruilin said. "But Xue Huang is not in Hanxi Palace, so where should she be?"

Wei Yunzhou didn't say much and immediately ordered the people from Shanhe Gate to investigate his whereabouts.

The rest of the people also stayed at Shanhe Gate, anxiously waiting for the results.

When it was dark, Luo Ning finally brought back the news.

"Sir, I found out." Luo Ning said succinctly, "Someone misled our people, so the spies overlooked the location of the Snow Phoenix."

Gu Qinglan asked: "Then where is she?"

"Bi Bo Lake, southeast shore."

Gu Qinglan looked suddenly enlightened, "Where was she and Princess Xingyue kidnapped?"

Luo Ning nodded, "The real owner of this manor is King Han Xi..."

Wei Yunzhou stood up and interrupted Luo Ning's words, "I just need to know where she is." After that, he left with the sword in his hand.

Gu Qinglan also stood up and chased after him. Mo Ruilin asked Mo Xingyue to stay here and wait for news, and asked Luo Ning to take care of her, and then he went to arrange for people to pick her up.

Mo Xingyue was stunned where she was. "Has Xue Huang's uncle always been so cold and overbearing?"

Luo Ning smiled, "Young Master has always been decisive in killing."

"Then can they rescue Xue Huang safely?"

"Of course!" Luo Ning said.

It was two hours later when Wei Yunzhou and his companions arrived at the small courtyard where Xue Huang was.

To be on the safe side, Wei Yunzhou and Gu Qinglan split their troops into two groups, each leading their men to surround the courtyard from the front and back.

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin came by boat, bringing with them the guards of the Prince's Mansion. It would be best if they could avoid a fight between the two sides and force King Han Xi to hand over the person without bloodshed. After all, they had no direct evidence to prove that the Snow Phoenix was in his hands.

Wei Yunzhou, on the other hand, came from the Cedar Mountain behind him and surrounded them with a group of experts from the Shanhe Sect.

But when they arrived, they found corpses everywhere outside the courtyard and the sound of fighting could be heard inside.

Gu Qinglan and the others were worried that Xue Huang was inside, so they just rushed in.

However, it was discovered that Mo Yunchen and his subordinates were fighting with a group of mysterious killers.

Wei Yunzhou's eyes turned slightly cold, he was the first to notice that something was wrong with the killers.

They were all highly skilled in martial arts, but they were like zombies, only knowing how to kill without getting tired. After being knocked to the ground, they still got up and continued to attack, and they turned a blind eye to the bleeding wounds on their bodies.

It's just like the puppet controlled by the puppeteer Ghost back then, feeling no pain.

But when Wei Yunzhou looked around, he did not find any trace of the ghost, and these killers were not the same as the controlled puppets. Their moves and movements were not rigid. Instead, they were very flexible and exquisite, as if they were born for fighting.

Mo Yunchen stood under the tree holding a sword, his face was terribly cold. When he noticed Wei Yunzhou and the others appeared, his expression became even colder.

He held two swords in his hands, and a cold air grew stronger behind him. A layer of frost suddenly spread over the bodies of those killers, and their movements became slow.

His subordinates took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of these people.

Then he pointed his sword at Wei Yunzhou.

"Master Shanhe, I have heard of you for a long time."

Wei Yunzhou didn't waste any words, he drew out the Soul-Breaking Sword, and the Seven Killing Sword Intent covered the sky and the earth.

Seeing that the fight between the two was about to break out, Mo Ruilin spoke in time, "Why is the prince here?"

"Then why is Your Highness here?"

"To be honest," said Mo Ruilin, "Princess Changle was assassinated a few days ago and has disappeared. I was ordered by my father to find her and learned that she was trapped here, so I came here with him and the other two to rescue her. I didn't expect that the prince found this place first. I wonder if Princess Changle is safe?"

Mo Yunchen curled his lips and sneered, "It's time for your Highness to come."

Seeing this, Gu Qinglan immediately led his men to search the entire courtyard, but there was no trace of Xue Huang. He tried his best to control his worries and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, where is Princess Changle now?"

Mo Yunchen's eyes were deep, "I also want to ask Master Gu."

Gu Qinglan's eyes also turned cold, and the veins on his hand holding the Jade Sea Sword bulged, and the blade pointed directly at Mo Yunchen. "Please tell me, Your Majesty!"

Mo Yunchen said nothing, but slowly raised the sword with murderous intent all over his body.

Wei Yunzhou came over with a sword in hand, "I have another way to get you to answer."

Mo Ruilin frowned, stepped forward to stop him and Gu Qinglan, and said to Mo Yunchen: "It seems that the prince is also here to save Princess Changle. Since you have the same purpose, why do you have to fight with swords?"

Mo Yunchen looked at him with a half-smile, "Your Highness is right."

"Has the prince ever seen Changle?" Mo Ruilin continued to ask.

"Never."

"Dongchu will send an envoy to Beiling soon, and my father also attaches great importance to Changle. If you have any clues about her, please tell us as soon as possible."

Mo Yunchen said indifferently: "Like Your Highness, I am here to save people."

Wei Yunzhou's expression was icy, and he obviously didn't believe him. But since Xue Huang wasn't here, he either hid her somewhere else, or she took advantage of the chaos to escape.

If it is the latter, then the top priority should be to find Xue Huang.

Looking at the situation here, these killers are obviously another group of people, and their purpose is still unclear.

Fighting at this time is indeed a waste of time.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, put away the Broken Soul, and immediately took the people from the Shanhe Sect to look for the whereabouts of Xue Huang.

Mo Yunchen didn't seem to want to get entangled with them any more, and said coldly, "She is not here. Instead of wasting time with me here, you should go find her first. She is unable to protect herself now."

Anger flashed in Gu Qinglan's eyes, "What did you do to her?"

Mo Yunchen's pupils deepened slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Master Gu, why don't we give it a try and see who finds her first?"

The look in Gu Qinglan's eyes when he looked at him was one of confidence that he was determined to win, while there was a hint of provocation in Mo Yunchen's eyes.

This was the third time he had lost Xue Huang, and both times she fell into Mo Yunchen's hands. So this time, he would never let her fall into this predicament again. He took back the Jade Sea Sword and said in a calm voice: "I will definitely find her." After that, he left with Mo Ruilin.

Mo Yunchen stood there without moving, his eyes sweeping over the corpses.

Duan Yun said, "Your Majesty, Xuyao has a subordinate named Ghost Shadow who is best at manipulating living people. Could it be that Xuyao and his men took the princess away?"

Mo Yunchen said coldly: "This is not puppetry, but medicine man technique."

"Medicine man?" Duan Yun was surprised. "Isn't that witchcraft?"

Mo Yunchen didn't say anything. Such a superb and strange Gu technique is definitely not something that ordinary people can easily use. Who can secretly raise Gu in Shangyang City? And actually appear here? When he arrived here, Xue Huang had disappeared, and waiting for him were these dozen medicine men. It was obvious that the other party didn't want to let him go.

Duan Yun leaned over to check the bodies. They were all wearing masks, but when he took off the masks, he was very surprised. "Your Majesty, these people are the wandering warriors who disappeared recently. I remember him. His martial arts skills were average, but after fighting just now, I felt that his skills had increased several times."

Mo Yunchen's face darkened. He looked at the destroyed swing with cold eyes. "Find her."

Duan Yun hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Mo Yunchen glanced at him, his expression as cold as ice, "Bring her back here."

"Yes." Duan Yun responded and went to execute it immediately.

Mo Yunchen looked around, then left the courtyard and went into the mountains.

This night was another extraordinary night.

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin, Wei Yunzhou and the Shanhe Sect, and even Mo Yunchen's people, turned Shangyang City upside down again, but still failed to find Xue Huang.

She disappeared without a trace once again.

But this time, they could not face it calmly because the appearance of these medicine men meant that they had a new opponent hiding in the dark and had not revealed his true colors yet.

When Wei Yunzhou left the courtyard, he also had someone take away a corpse. After Dongfang Cong's inspection, he confirmed that it was the long-lost medicine man witchcraft. But in the entire Shangyang City, only Mo Yunchen was proficient in witchcraft. If it was the medicine man he made, why would he attack them?

Mo Yunchen's men were also looking for Xue Huang's whereabouts, which meant that Xue Huang had escaped from him, but where would she be?
