Both worlds are like dreams
Chapter 48: Seeing injustice, helping others
Baihua Mountain is located 40 miles south of Shangyang City and is the only way to enter Shangyang City. It was two hours later that Xue Huang arrived at Baihua Mountain.
At this time, the wide official road was filled with the sounds of killing, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Snow Phoenix stood on a tree branch, watching the people fighting. In addition to a group of martial arts masters, the Xiyue delegation also had guards with superb martial arts. As for the killers, they were all wearing black clothes and masks, and it was impossible to tell which ones were from Tianqi and which ones were from Beiyuan. But it could be seen that the weapons used by several of them were of high quality, and their martial arts were even more special.
Xu Yao's sword was a special weapon, but he did not participate in the battle at this time. His special masters did not show up either. If this was the case, there was no chance of success in assassinating the Prince of Xiyue.
What the hell is he doing?
Is the news wrong?
Xue Huang quietly moved closer and finally spotted Xu Yao. He was watching the battlefield coldly, as if waiting for an opportunity.
There were two other people beside him, one was the puppeteer Ghost, and the other was wearing a moon-white robe and waving a folding fan, looking like an elegant young man from aristocratic family.
Xue Huang didn't know this person, but she knew the sword in his hand. The Yaoyue Sword, one of the most evil swords in the world, would appear here. She could guess the identity of this person, that he was the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion, the first assassin organization in Apocalypse.
Not to mention how many elite assassins the Dark Moon Pavilion has, the fact that the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion could personally assassinate the Crown Prince of Xiyue means that the person behind this must be extremely powerful.
The ghost had already used puppetry, and those who had fallen to the ground began to twist their bodies and stand up. Like a puppet that would not stop until death, it began to pounce on the people of the Xiyue delegation.
More and more people fell, more and more people became puppets, and the situation on the battlefield began to change. If the stalemate continued, the Xiyue delegation would undoubtedly be defeated.
But at this time, Bei Ling's contact had not arrived yet.
The Snow Phoenix had no choice but to fly away and use the Mysterious Ice Curse to bring up ice and snow all over the sky to subdue those puppets.
She had fought with the ghost before and knew that his means were those invisible threads. Her frost was just enough to restrain him.
The ghost's control was interrupted, so he could only stop temporarily and look at Xu Yao, seeking his advice.
Frost condensed between Xue Huang's palms, and a three-foot sword suddenly cut through the sky. The mighty sword energy was wielded freely, but it separated the assassin and the envoy camps without hurting anyone.
She landed on the ground and looked at Xu Yao in the woods. "Beiling's contact will be here in a moment. If the fight continues, we won't be able to leave."
"Great skill!" A moon-white figure flew out from the forest, carrying a murderous intent and heading straight for Snow Phoenix. "I have never seen such a wonderful sword technique before."
Xue Huang leaped up and swung her sword to block his domineering sword attack. Two streams of sword energy suddenly gushed out like a surging river.
Everyone present was shocked without exception. Even Lan Ruofeng, who was sitting steadily in the carriage, was surprised. Looking at the iron sword in his hand trembling constantly, he had not drawn his sword for a long time, and he had not met an opponent for a long time.
The Dark Moon Pavilion Master was very surprised when he faced Xue Huang's sword. He had never thought that this young girl had such profound internal strength.
The two were in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, Xu Yao also flew out with a sword in his hand. Xue Huang had to concentrate the sword in his left hand again to block his sword.
However, these two were both top-notch masters, so Xue Huang was no match for them alone. The combined attack of the two shattered the sword in her hand, and her body flew backwards.
Before she could steady herself, she felt a hand reaching out from behind and placing it across her waist, holding her and bringing her to the ground.
Xue Huang said "thank you" and pulled the other person's hand away. Without even looking at the person behind her, she re-condensed the sword. But at some point, several hanging threads suddenly appeared on her body. She felt a sense of numbness and her body flew out uncontrollably.
This ghost is attacking again? !
Xue Huang was dragged in front of Xu Yao like a puppet, and he put a sword on her neck.
"The mission continues." He said coldly to the Dark Moon Pavilion Master.
The Dark Moon Pavilion Master waved his hand, and the assassins rushed towards the Xiyue delegation again. He also joined the battle, because the person who just caught the Snow Phoenix was the Xiyue Crown Prince.
He thrust his sword forward, but before it reached the Xiyue Prince, it was blocked by Fu Yunshen. The two then exchanged moves.
Xue Huang looked at Xu Yao and asked: "Why don't you retreat?"
"Why save him?" Xu Yao asked back.
"If the Crown Prince of Xiyue dies here, the two countries will definitely go to war."
"I know."
“But once the war starts, flames of war will rage and the people of Beiling will suffer. Is this what you want?” Xue Huang frowned.
Xuyao remained silent.
"I know you hate the Beiling royal family, but the people of Beiling are innocent. They were once the people of Beiyuan. Is your revenge for the hatred in your heart or for the country and the people?"
"Shut up!" Xu Yao shouted coldly. "Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"I don't know why you don't kill me, but I can't watch you die. You have mobilized so many assassins, and Phantom's intelligence capabilities must have noticed something. For both public and private reasons, Shen Congfeng and Mo Yunchen will not let you assassinate the Crown Prince of Xiyue. If I'm right, their people will arrive soon. If you don't leave, you and the people you bring will be in trouble."
"In that case, wouldn't Bei Ling have one less enemy? Isn't this what you want?" Xu Yao looked ambiguous.
Xue Huang sighed and said helplessly: "Can you please stop being so stubborn?"
"After all, you are still helping Mo Ruilin and Gu Qinglan to win me over." Xu Yao said.
"Just assume that's what I planned." Xue Huang said with a smile.
"But you will regret it." Xu Yao's expression turned cold.
Just as Xue Huang was about to speak, she saw a group of soldiers appear five miles behind him, rushing towards them. Her expression changed, and she frowned and said, "Black Armored Army, King Han Xi."
Xu Yao also noticed the noise behind him. He turned around and looked at the man in red who was leading the army. His murderous intent became even stronger.
"It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge," Xue Huang said, "Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Xu Yao took back the sword from her neck and gave a signal. The assassins immediately began to withdraw. Then he looked at Xue Huang and said, "You have to go with me."
A chill spread from Snow Phoenix's body, and the hanging silk wrapped around her condensed into frost and shattered instantly. She moved her wrist and smiled: "Do you think I can be controlled so easily by your men? I was just pretending."
Xu Yao said no more and flew away.
Mo Yunchen and his black-armored army arrived a moment later, and without stopping, they directly split into two teams to chase Xu Yao and his men.
Mo Yunchen rode up to Xue Huang and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"It's obvious," Xue Huang raised an eyebrow and said, "When you see injustice, draw your sword to help."
"Really?" Mo Yunchen smiled strangely, "Why do I feel like you are colluding with the remnants of Beiyuan and Tianqi's secret agents to assassinate the Crown Prince of Xiyue?"
"If you rank second in terms of ability to lie with open eyes, no one in Beiling would dare to rank first, right?"
"Take him down." Mo Yunchen waved his hand and said coldly.
Xue Huang twitched the corner of her mouth. How could you, Mo Yunchen, be so indiscriminate and take revenge here? How unreasonable!
How could she let others bully her? She was about to take action immediately. But she heard a clear voice behind her, "Wait a minute."
"Your Highness," Mo Yunchen said, with no intention of dismounting to salute.
"I'm afraid King Han Xi has misunderstood. There is someone else who assassinated me. This girl risked her life to come and rescue him."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived, so don't be fooled." Mo Yunchen said coldly.
"Everyone in my delegation can testify to this. Besides, I trust my instincts. This girl is definitely not an assassin."
"Your Highness," Xue Huang said, "If you want to arrest me, you must come up with a better reason! Wouldn't such a poor excuse make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xiyue laugh at you?"
"Miss," said the Crown Prince of Xiyue, "thank you for saving me. What's your name?"
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning." Xue Huang said calmly. Besides, she didn't come here to save him.
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. Over there is my carriage. If you don't mind, please follow me into the city."
"No need," Xue Huang glanced at him and said, "Just lend me a horse."
The Prince of Xiyue did not expect Xuehuang to refuse. After being slightly surprised, he had someone bring a horse to her.
Xue Huang climbed onto the horse swiftly, then looked at Mo Yunchen and said, "Please lead the way, Your Majesty."
Mo Yunchen gave her a cold look, turned his horse around, and the black-armored soldiers immediately made way for him.
Xue Huang followed Mo Yunchen, and then the Xiyue delegation, and the group set off again.
Mo Yunchen rode in the front, and saw Xue Huang behind him. He asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I will harm the Xiyue delegation?"
Xue Huang was too lazy to answer him and simply kept silent. She had traveled half the night and had fought a fight, so she just felt tired.
Mo Yunchen deliberately slowed down his horse's speed and drew up the same distance with Xue Huang. He was a little surprised to see her listless appearance. After all, the little girl who was always fearless could actually be so quiet.
"You always surprise me by being able to arrive here before anyone else to stop the assassination."
"You are no exception." Xue Huang said calmly. "But if you mobilized so many people and no one is caught in the end, it would be really embarrassing."
"Still as sharp-tongued as ever." Mo Yunchen sneered.
Xue Huang really felt a little sleepy, so she stopped talking and rode on her horse in silence.
Finally, one mile away from the city gate, she saw Gu Qinglan and Mo Ruilin who had been waiting for a long time.
Her eyes lit up, and she waved her hand quickly, saying with a smile, "Brother Qinglan!" Then she rode away quickly.
Gu Qinglan came towards her and asked in surprise: "Miss Xuehuang, why are you here?"
"This... is a long story. I'll tell you when I get back. I haven't slept all night. I'm so tired!"
"You should go to His Highness' carriage and rest for a while."
Xue Huang nodded and was about to ride over when she suddenly sensed a cold murderous intent coming from behind her. However, it was not directed at her, but passed her and went straight to Gu Qinglan.
She immediately protected Gu Qinglan and turned to look at the red-clothed figure riding a horse. At this moment, his eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent, like a bloody killer.
