Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 36 How Many Grudges in a Drunken Dream
Long Yu's figure flew out like a startled wild goose! He drew a beautiful arc in the night sky. Then, behind him, several black shadows flew up from nowhere. Following closely behind him, in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Yunshui Pavilion not far from Jingyan Palace. This is an ancient and simple attic with double-eaved hip-and-gable roofs, flying eaves, and bells hanging on the four corners. At this time, the bells hanging on the four corners were shaking slightly, revealing a hint of unusual and strange atmosphere.
The Yunshui Pavilion was originally the residence of Long Yu's sister, Long Xin, who was also Wei Xingying's mother. After Long Xin mysteriously disappeared decades ago, the attic has been vacant ever since. It is usually locked, with only a maid occasionally going in to clean and tidy up, but no one lives in it.
Therefore, at this moment, the strange spiritual energy coming from the Yunshui Pavilion makes people feel even more weird.
Long Yu silently waved his hand, scattering the several black shadows behind him to the four sides of the attic, and then used his spiritual power to set up an inky black barrier before he leaped up and turned into a point of light and disappeared above the attic.
There was a hint of helplessness in Long Yu's eyes at this moment. In fact, he had discovered something strange in Jingyan Palace just now. The maid who was plotting treason was not a single person. The chaotic and strange aura of life emanating from her made him feel that there was an even more sinister force behind her.
It seemed that someone was secretly using some kind of witchcraft to control her consciousness, or using some power of thought to dig out the resentment in her heart bit by bit. She was just bluffing when she did those things. Therefore, this woman was not a threat. She was just a puppet being manipulated. If we want to win with one blow, we must accurately find the hiding place of the person behind the scenes and give him a stunning blow.
That's why Long Yu didn't act rashly just now. He silently practiced the Life Skill, hoping to find some clues through the chaotic life energy emitted by the maid and dig out the hiding place of the mastermind behind the scenes. However, he didn't expect that just when he used the Life Skill to find out that the person behind the scenes seemed to be hiding in this "Yunshui Pavilion", he was intervened by the impulsive Gong Lili!
He was afraid that the other party would become alert and flee, becoming a big trouble in the future, so he was forced to throw away the gun and run all the way.
Now he was feeling very nervous, hoping that the other party had not already fled!
He squinted his eyes, and a faint blood-red ring-shaped mark slowly appeared between his eyebrows. Then, a water-wave-like light vaguely emerged from between his eyebrows and fell directly into his slightly opened palm. At this time, when he looked at his palm again, he actually saw a scarlet sword!
The red sword was covered with clouds and dragons, and it looked magnificent. There were golden flames and blood-red clouds surrounding it. A gleam of light flashed in Long Yu's eyes, and the red sword flew out of his palm. It seemed to have life, and turned into a red electric light that wandered around in the attic, as if searching for something...
When Long Yu first sensed the unusual movement of Ying Lili and rushed out of Jingyan Palace, Ying Lili in Jingyan Palace was dumbfounded. He originally thought that he seemed to have realized some profound spell and was planning to perform a gorgeous drama of beauty saving beauty. However, he did not expect that the power brought by the golden halo only lasted for a blink of an eye. Everything around him seemed to be suddenly paused for a moment, and then the start button was pressed, and everything returned to normal in an instant.
So, just as Ying Lili jumped out of the curtain where he was hiding, before he had time to get close to the two hostages, he had just taken a few steps when his whole body was exposed in the center of Jingyan Palace.
Then, as fear flashed across the eyes of the woman called C, she said in a trembling voice: "You, you are not dead after all!" All the people in the hall who had their backs to her turned around at this moment, and cast their eyes at her like needles. Then, someone shouted: "It's you! A spy from the Shamo clan!" At this time, the atmosphere in the Jingyan Hall became even more tense.
Ping Lili quickly recited the spell again, thinking that if time could be stopped for a moment, at least she could hide back. However, the spell she recited was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction at all, as if everything that had just happened had never happened, or was just something she had imagined out of thin air.
At this moment, Ping Lili realized with embarrassment that she seemed to have done the stupidest thing. She cursed in her heart: "Damn Yao Ji, you want to kill me!" But her body stood stiffly in the center of Jingyan Palace. She didn't know how to respond at this moment. What was the current situation?
At this moment, Ping Lili finally felt that she was trapped in her own cocoon. She could only chuckle dryly and slowly step back a few steps. Only then did she realize that Long Yu beside her had disappeared. She had no time to think about where he had gone, nor did she have time to complain about her friend's desertion at the critical moment. Countless absurd thoughts flashed through her mind rapidly, and she even had the spinelessness to think of retreating the same way she came.
But how could the people in the palace let her do whatever she wanted? In the blink of an eye, several maids who seemed to be skilled in martial arts surrounded her, as if they regarded her as an accomplice of the rebellious woman. The anger that could not be vented on C finally had a way to vent at this time. They gnashed their teeth and wished to eat her alive.
Only the maid named Ling had a calm expression at this time. She just glanced at Ping Lili lightly with the corner of her eye , and then withdrew her attention. She still stared at the C and the ice-blue ice shuttle in her hand with a stern expression. The spiritual power in her body was ready to be used, and the hand holding the long sword was faintly white.
While cautiously backing away, Ping Lili spoke incoherently in words that he himself did not believe: "Well, I have no ill intentions, I was just passing by... You, you all calm down."
At this time, C was heard laughing hysterically again. Her originally beautiful face was distorted to a terrifying degree: "Haha, you came at the right time!" Then she lowered her head and whispered in the Crown Princess' ear in a sarcastic tone: "You should thank me. I brought your love rival here to be buried with you. This way, you won't be too lonely on your way to the underworld."
The Crown Princess had a calm expression at this time. Her eyes lightly brushed over the nearby Ying Lili, and lingered for a moment on the pair of bare feet tightly wrapped in crescent-colored cloth. She seemed to understand something. After her eyes met with Ying Lili's for a brief moment, she turned away as if nothing had happened. Then, she said calmly to the group of maids who were approaching Ying Lili with a covetous look in their eyes: "Don't embarrass her. She doesn't mean any harm."
Then the Crown Princess straightened her spine with great courage and shouted angrily, "C, since we have already severed our friendship, don't waste your time talking nonsense. You don't have to scare me with those nonsense words. Since you have been reluctant to kill me just now, you must have something to ask for. Just state your conditions directly."
C was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect that her intentions would be seen through so easily by the other party, but she quickly calmed down. She smiled awkwardly and even changed her address: "Miss, I have admired you for this since I was a child. You are very sensible..."
"Stop talking nonsense and state your conditions." The Crown Princess interrupted the other party's endless chatter coldly without even blinking an eye.
"I want to leave Yonghui City safely. Also, I want her life. Kill her first." Seeing that the two sides had already torn their faces apart, C no longer used any psychological tactics and directly put forward his conditions. However, these conditions made Yinglili, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, gasp again.
Everyone present knew who the "she" that C was talking about was. When she said this, Jing Lili felt that there were several eyes in front of her that wanted to kill her immediately. She suddenly felt a little tight in her chest, thinking to herself, who did she offend? Originally, she was just meddling in other people's business and wanted to help someone who was injustice. In the end, she failed to be a hero and lost her life. It's really hard to be a good person these days!
He was thinking of giving it a try if nothing worked. With his Netherworld Fire, he was confident that he could break out. Although he didn't know where that damn Long Yu had gone at this critical moment, as long as he could leave this place of trouble, everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess said something that shocked her and everyone around her: "Everyone should be held responsible for their own actions. Why involve innocent people? This is an internal feud among our Ruoye tribe. What does it have to do with the Shamo people? I can let you leave the city, but I can't take her life."
At this moment, for no reason, Pinglili felt a strange liking for this woman whom he originally disliked. He did not expect that she, whose life was in danger at this moment, had such courage and broad-mindedness. Pinglili suddenly made up his mind that he must save her!
Suddenly, a familiar whisper came into Pinglili's ears. She was startled and thought to herself, Yaoji, please don't hurt me again this time. This is related to human life! However, at this moment, there is no better choice. Suddenly, she remembered Yaoji's character and thought that she would not tease her at this time. So Pinglili made up her mind and decided to trust her again. At this time, she saw her golden brown eyes slightly closed and chanted like a song...
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kill her! Otherwise, I will kill your master immediately!" Seeing the appearance of Ying Lili at this moment, the c secretly cried out in his heart that it was not good. He shouted angrily and was about to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but was surprised to find that the ice blue ice shuttle in her hand was faintly out of control. The ice shuttle seemed to be attracted by a strong external force. After a moment, it actually flew out of her hand with a clang. Almost at the same time when the ice shuttle flew out, the maid Ling who had been standing not far away waiting for an opportunity jumped into the air and swung a sword with blood splashing everywhere! She actually cut off the c's right hand that was holding the Crown Princess with her sword!
Everything happened in just a moment, and the situation was reversed...
