Both worlds are like dreams

Wei Yunzhou and his men were unable to cope with the situation and watched the arrow streak through the sky as fast as a flash of lightning.

Chen Jin was horrified, looking at the person on the branch, although the other person was wearing a cloak and his true face could not be seen, he knew that the other person must have been sent by Shen Congfeng to silence him.

At the critical moment, Mo Ruilin chopped at the arrow with his sword without caring about his own safety, but he was still a step too late. His sword missed, and Chen Jin fell in the prison car.

Wei Yunzhou and his team were still in a stalemate with the man in black. The four of them exerted their strength at the same time, and the palm wind was strong. Both sides took a step back. They looked at the man in black in front of them with disbelief in their eyes.

"One against four!" Su Linjin was shocked. "Even the senior brother who is known as the Sword Immortal can't stop the four of us. She... is really..."

Not only Su Linjin couldn't believe it, Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao were also equally shocked.

Until Gu Qinglan spoke, "Xue Huang, is that you?"

The other party did not reply, but the murderous aura around him rose again, and his eyes were terribly cold. With him as the center, a layer of frost continued to spread, condensing into snow, and the world was covered with ice and snow. In a moment, the world in front of him became an extremely cold world of ice and snow.

Seeing this, they were absolutely certain that the person in front of them was definitely Xue Huang.

Su Linjin was shocked. "Is this the fourth level of the Mysterious Ice Curse?"

Wei Yunzhou looked solemn, "With her current strength, there is no realm difference."

"Are you sure you can subdue her?"

"No." Wei Yunzhou said indifferently.

Su Linjin choked and said, "At least give me some encouragement!"

"Knock her out!" Xu Yao said, "Leave her to Lin Yu."

Wei Yunzhou and Su Linjin looked at each other, the former used the Seven Kills as an attack, and the latter used the Seven Wounds as a defense, attacking Xue Huang from the front and back. Although they had not met for a long time, the Guigu School's Double Seven Swordsmanship had its own tacit understanding, and they were both rare swordsmanship prodigies, so their cooperation was simply seamless.

Moreover, both of them are from the same school as Xue Huang, so they are very familiar with Xue Huang's moves. But the power of Xue Huang's Mysterious Ice Curse is now too terrifying, and even with their combined strength, they are unable to restrain Xue Huang.

Gu Qinglan and Xuyao had only one goal, which was to take the opportunity to knock her out.

The two of them had a good understanding of each other, one on the left and one on the right, looking for the right opportunity.

But Xue Huang did not give them this opportunity. In a moment, a sky of sharp blades gathered behind her, circling around her like a long winding dragon. With just one move, she repelled the siege of the four of them. The four of them also suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.

Su Linjin's hair was cut off, and he was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, "You are so good, Wei Xuehuang, you even dare to hit me and my second brother. I am your uncle, you are really treasonous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of Xue Huang's mouth.

But Xue Huang didn't feel anything. She condensed an extremely cold weapon in her palm and attacked them again.

Wei Yunzhou knew better than anyone the disadvantage of the art of using medicine to control people, which was that the person being manipulated would be tireless and insensitive to pain, so even if he was injured, he would not stop.

He frowned slightly. If he continued to hit her like this, she would get hurt.

The others also understood instantly and retreated, no longer confronting her head-on. But her sword intent became stronger and stronger.

Gu Qinglan tried to get closer to him many times, but was forced back by her sharp sword. He couldn't bear to draw his sword, so he could only step back.

Seeing her sword coming again, Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao stepped forward with swords raised to stop her together, while Su Linjin took the opportunity to swing out a gust of sword wind.

The golden masks fell off, revealing their familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

That was Xue Huang, but the smile they were familiar with was no longer on her face. There were only empty eyes and bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Gu Qinglan felt heartbroken. How could she become like this?

Wei Yunzhou, Xu Yao and even Su Linjin had actually prepared themselves mentally for Xue Huang to become a medicine man, but when they actually saw it, they still found it hard to accept. They couldn't imagine what she had gone through to become like this?

Gu Qinglan walked towards her, each step was so heavy, his eyes were full of heartache and guilt. "Don't you recognize me?"

Xue Huang did not react. She repelled Wei Yunzhou and Xu Yao with one sword, and then stabbed the sword in her hand straight forward, directly piercing Gu Qinglan's right shoulder as everyone was shocked.

"Qinglan!" Mo Ruilin shouted and struggled to come to his side.

Gu Qinglan didn't care about his wounds, he just walked towards Xue Huang, letting the sword pierce deeper into his body, he just wanted to be closer to Xue Huang. "Xue Huang, wake up, do you really not recognize me?"

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, held her cold hand, looked into her empty eyes, and said, "It's all my fault. I lost you again..."

Xue Huang's eyes flickered, and she seemed to react, her lifeless eyes began to focus.

She finally spoke, "Who... are you?"

"Gu Qinglan," Gu Qinglan looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Call me Brother Qinglan."

A trace of pain flashed across Xue Huang's eyes, and her expression became confused, "Gu... Qing... Lan?"

"There's a chance!" Su Linjin was pleasantly surprised. "Wei Xuehuang, look carefully, that's the one you love!"

At this time, a cold voice came from the woods, "Kill him!"

Hearing this, Xue Huang's eyes once again burst into murderous intent.

Wei Yunzhou reacted immediately and placed the scabbard across Xue Huang's waist and abdomen. He exerted force with his arms, forcing her to retreat backwards. At the same time, the sword that was inserted into Gu Qinglan's shoulder was also pulled out.

Mo Ruilin helped Gu Qinglan back away, only to see Xue Huang retreat several steps. At the same time, several iron balls smashed down, instantly creating a cloud of dust in front of their eyes, choking everyone so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

Wei Yunzhou swung his sword, but when the smoke and dust cleared, there was no trace of the Snow Phoenix in front of him.

Xu Yao clenched the sword in his hand, hatred flashed in his eyes, "It's Mo Yunchen!" No one knew it better than him, he would recognize the man even if he turned into ashes.

"Qinglan!" Mo Ruilin exclaimed, and several people turned to look. It turned out that Gu Qinglan was seriously injured and had fainted.

Wei Yunzhou frowned slightly and waved his hand to let everyone get ready and set off immediately. Then he looked at Xu Yao, "I'll send them into the city first, you go track her whereabouts."

Xu Yao nodded and quickly chased after them into the forest, while Wei Yunzhou and the people from Shanhemen escorted them on their way.

Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin were both seriously injured, and Wei Yunzhou gave them some internal energy on the way.

Fortunately, there were no pursuers on the road and they reached the city gate smoothly.

Zhuo Yang also brought people to meet them, and they reunited after entering the city.

"Master," Zhuo Yang said anxiously, "Shen Congfeng has assembled a team of soldiers and is heading here with the Minister of Justice. They are here with ill intentions."

Mo Ruilin said, "They are here to snatch people away."

Wei Yunzhou glanced at the unconscious Gu Qinglan, then said to Zhuo Yang: "Send him back to Jinxiu Tower to heal his wounds first."

Zhuo Yang nodded. "Yes." He responded and quickly left with Gu Qinglan.

Wei Yunzhou and Mo Ruilin looked at each other and continued on their way.

Sure enough, in front of the Ministry of Justice, Shen Congfeng and the Minister of Justice were waiting for them on horseback. Behind them was a row of soldiers waiting in formation, blocking the road.

Mo Ruilin was already exhausted as he dragged his poisoned body, but he still had to cheer up and deal with it.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." The Minister of Justice dismounted and saluted, but Shen Congfeng moved his mouth.

Mo Ruilin was used to it. "No need to be so polite, you two. What can I do for you waiting here so late at night?"

The Minister of Justice said: "Your Highness, the case of counterfeiting is of great importance. As the Minister of Justice, I should share your worries. Your Highness has worked hard to investigate the case personally. Now that Chen Jin has been arrested, please leave the next matter to me."

"The Emperor has issued an order, ordering me to investigate this matter thoroughly. Chen Jin participated in counterfeiting, colluded with the Ministry of Revenue, and bribed officials. Therefore, I must report this matter to the Emperor in person, and he will make the final decision."

"Your Highness is right," Shen Congfeng said, "But Chen Jin is an important witness, how can Your Highness bring him around? The Ministry of Justice is where cases are tried, so it is only natural that he should be detained in the Ministry of Justice."

"Thank you for your concern, General Shen." Mo Ruilin smiled, "My friend next to me is very skilled in martial arts and can protect me well."

"Your Highness." Shen Congfeng smiled meaningfully, "You are still injured, let alone these people. How can they compare to the personal guards behind me?" After he finished speaking, the soldiers stepped forward and drew their swords in unison.

Mo Ruilin's expression also turned cold. "If I don't hand over the person, does General Shen intend to snatch him away?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood." Shen Congfeng rode slowly towards him, "I don't want Your Highness to be so tired."

"If the politics is clear, I won't worry about it. After all, romance is what I want."

"One Chen Jin is not enough to make Your Highness give up his pursuit." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him directly surrounded the prison car.

Wei Yunzhou unsheathed his Soul-Breaking Sword and pointed it at Shen Congfeng. He looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Mo Ruilin said, "General Shen, do you really have to do it your own way?"

"Why is your Highness so nervous?" Shen Congfeng walked towards the prison van. "How dare I overstep my authority in front of everyone?" As he finished speaking, he used a sword to lift the white cloth covering the prison van.

There was only one person lying inside, with an arrow stuck in his heart. Looking at his face again, it was Chen Jin, but his face was pale and his lips were purple, obviously he was poisoned, and he was no longer breathing.

A hint of anger appeared in Mo Ruilin's eyes, "Are you satisfied, General?"

Shen Congfeng looked at Mo Ruilin's expression, angry and somewhat dejected, and smiled, "What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

Mo Ruilin did not speak. Now that Chen Jin was dead, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue who participated in the counterfeiting were all questioned one by one. It seemed that the case was a foregone conclusion. However, it seemed that Chen Jin had some other plans during his time as an official.

The mastermind behind the counterfeit currency case was the Minister of Revenue. From the clues and evidence they found, Chen Jin's arrest had nothing to do with Shen Congfeng's gang, but they still killed him at all costs to silence him. There must be other involvement behind this.
