Chapter 1477: Chapter 864: My People, My Enemies
Underground, Gong Jiu and the others were in mortal danger, but Sui Yi saw that Jiang Chenyu’s body was already shrouded in a layer of ashen gray, swirling as if attempting to merge her with the Shadow Wall, but in fact, they could not integrate.
This aura made Sui Yi’s brow twitch.
Her fingers moved slightly, seeing Yi Dao and Ye Zui fall into a disadvantage while fighting two against three, and that Du Meng was, as always, guarding by Jiang Chenyu’s side...
At the moment Sui Yi lowered his gaze.
The Peach Blossom Source behind suddenly emitted the sound of gears turning.
It was the sound of large-scale gear movement...
Then...
Boom!
Fu Ling and Old Master simultaneously turned their heads to look.
An opening appeared underground, revealing a dark underground passage, beneath which intense fighting could be heard, accompanied by the roars of Exotic Beasts... In the blink of an eye, Gong Jiu and Ye Zixu led the way out, followed by a large group of people, and then One Eye... coming aggressively!
The scene instantly became more chaotic.
Having narrowly escaped death, Gong Jiu and the others didn’t think too much about the current situation, scanning around but not seeing the people they wanted to find.
— No doubt, the mechanism was set off by Su Zimu and Flower Demon, whether by accident or due to their brilliant calculation, ultimately resolving this crisis, just hoping these two are also safe and sound.
But where are they?
Fu Ling and Old Master instinctively looked at Sui Yi, while Sui Yi remained silent.
With a thunderous loud bang.
Pierre was thrown into a deep pit, gravely injured!
The reason?
He was ambushed!
Yes, one might say he was betrayed by his own allies.
Yi Dao looked at the three Mo Du who had attacked, frowning: "You three working together like this, only then do I see a glimpse of the Midland Clans’ grandeur—if you weren’t being used by someone, it would be even better."
Yi Dao keenly sensed that these three of Mo Du were definitely not acting as individual entities; there was clearly someone else manipulating everything above them.
And this person... was it Mr. Tao? Viper? Or...
Gong Jiu and the others were all shocked.
What they least wanted to see had indeed become a reality.
These three Family Heads of large Noble Clans in Mo Du were a sharp sword!
From the very beginning, everything had been following someone’s plan.
And who was this person?
As Mr. Tao, turning the wheelchair, emerged alone from the swirling peach blossoms, a smile played at his lips.
"There are quite a few people here, but it seems some are absent... It appears our plan has some flaws, Miss Jiang."
Mr. Tao was unharmed, so where were Gu Sansi and Mo Ke?
Under the gazes of Gong Jiu and others whose pupils shrank.
Jiang Chenyu, surrounded by the gray mist, turned her face, sweeping her gaze around. Her formerly elegant and delicate face broke into a smile—this smile was like a lily transformed into a mandala, pure yet sinister.
"From the beginning, there was no three-way or four-way struggle... To me, there are only two groups: my people and my enemies."
As Jiang Chenyu spoke, the three Mo Du fell beside her, coldly watching the gravely injured and furious Pierre and Romain. Clearly holding the winning hand, the combined forces of these two groups were enough to crush everyone else here, but the reality was... they were the first to be overwhelmed!
Even the loose group like Gong Jiu’s was more resilient!
—Of course, it was also because Jiang Chenyu and Mr. Tao had targeted them as the first to be eliminated from the beginning.
So... Ghost Party or Dark Council?
Comprehensive combat power was under one-tenth, OVER!
Next up....
Who else could be their opponent?
No one.
Just as Jiang Chenyu said—there were only ever two kinds of people here: her people and her enemies!
Gong Jiu looked at the three of Mo Du, touching his lips: "I wonder about Mo Ke and their psychological shadow."
So the previous fierce battles were all fake?
Previously, in Gong Jiu’s group, there were many young nobles, like Zhong and Qi, etc., but there were also Mo Tu and Mo Qi, these Mo Family descendants, and right now, this group was equally stunned.
They didn’t seem to be pretending, nor was there any need for that, after all, the mask had already fallen off.
Huang Long mumbled to himself, this was an older generation stirring up things in secret, while the younger generation were kept in the dark?
But when Gong Jiu saw Jhiang Qu and Seo Bai, holding Su Zimu and Flower Demon as hostages...
Uh... it seems that’s not quite the case.
So even the young generation of the Mo Family was kept in the dark?
Even Mo Tu as well?
What about Mo Ke then?
Could it be that he was already killed by the Dragon King?
The group of Gong Jiu had unknowingly been surrounded.
People from Peach Blossom Villa, Jhiang Family, and Seo Family surrounded them layer upon layer.
Peach Blossom Villa, the power of the three noble clans, Su Zimu and Flower Demon held as hostages.
Well, this situation....
Could it get any worse?
"Flower Fairy, you are such a coward, getting caught like that!"
Gong Jiu still had the time to tease Flower Demon, who gritted her teeth: "If it wasn’t to open the mechanism and save your stupid ass, would I have gotten caught? Right, Zimu!"
Su Zimu was somewhat helpless, pressing his lips, looking towards Jiang Chenyu: "Miss Jiang, there’s something I don’t quite understand."
Jiang Chenyu seemed to hold Su Zimu in high regard, giving a slight smile: "You want to ask why, since I’ve united with Peach Blossom Villa and the three main clans, and clearly have obtained this stone wall, why go to such trouble?"
"Yes, it also includes why the three proud noble families willingly became subordinates."
Sui Zimu’s question was also what everyone wanted to know.
To know, at the start, it was the three noble clans that controlled the Monarch’s Shadow Wall, with Peach Blossom Villa merely being partners. Since they are her people, why bother with such a convoluted plan?
"Actually, you should ask her the first question."
Jiang Chenyu’s gaze swept to the place everyone instinctively looked.
Sui Yi.
"The Monarch’s Shadow Wall is not something everyone can endure. Besides the willpower being stronger than the monarch, one can forcibly open it, but one can only borrow the soul wills of others."
She looked at Sui Yi, but her fingers brushed over many people...
"And you are the others."
How can one borrow the soul wills of others?
Gong Jiu and the others instantly heard the roaring from Peach Blossom Source behind.
Exotic beasts?
NO!
It’s Spirit Coffins!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When Gong Jiu and the others saw those Spirit Coffins scattered across Peach Blossom Villa soar one by one, directly flying to the top of the Monarch’s Shadow Wall.
Eleven-sided Shadow Wall, not missing a single one, all hovering above the Spirit Coffins, but the problem is, now all eleven-sided Shadow Wall are bright blood-red, the gray-white stone body has already turned into blood-gleaming stones.
"What the hell! Such red blood, such ominous events!" Huang Long these professionals looked pale.
The most ominous of underground coffins is undoubtedly Blood Coffin, and there are eleven sides here, all from an ancient exotic space-time, how terrifying is the aura?
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, swirling with thick blood-red cords, thunder rumbling fiercely.
And the eleven Blood Coffins were encircling above, blood aura lingering, rushing towards that Shadow Wall.
Aura.
Purely domineering aura, the grandeur of ruling a kingdom, also the peerless solitude.
Of course, in Pierre and these people’s eyes, it meant power!
The power of an ancient monarch from an exotic space-time!
—— And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Far away in Cherry Snow Forest, Pu Qinghan was still filming a movie. In fact, Peach Blossom Villa isn’t very close to them, but not very far either. Although nothing can be sensed from the geographical distance, there are still news, though soon internally banned, only a few were left, spreading slowly...
The film crew was busy, no one idle, Pu Qinghan certainly didn’t know what against-the-heavens level major events happened at this crucial place in the capital city, she only felt a vague unease, always felt like something was about to happen, but still using her strong acting to cover it up, until she finished filming a scene, went to her assistant, just about to drink water.
"Your condition isn’t very good."
Cheng Lin had already handed over a bottle of unopened mineral water.
Pu Qinghan trusted him, yet didn’t take the bottle, just moderately smiled, naturally accepting the bottle handed over by her assistant.
"Sorry, I’ve been having heat lately, can only drink herbal tea."
Refused so gently, also explained why she was uneasy before, moreover not caring why he could see things others couldn’t notice.
This type of woman, with an exquisite heart, yet unapproachable.
Cheng Lin retrieved the mineral water, just smiled, then brought up acting matters...
Pu Qinghan was very professional, also set aside distractions, focused on exploring.
And far outside the capital city... even another province.
Xiao Yu stood on a yellow earth slope, staring at the spreading corpses... her gaze moving, drifting towards that terrifying Heavenly Pit.. face pale.
What exactly happened here?
Or rather... what exactly was taken away?
She picked up her phone, made a call.
A familiar female voice came from the other side.
"Master, are you at Peach Blossom Villa?"
"That King of Red Water knew my puppets were at Peach Blossom Villa, fled long ago... I’m chasing him, why, you still have leisure to care about this?"
The tone over there was somewhat careless.
"One task is one task, no matter how big the matter at Peach Blossom Villa, it doesn’t affect you, do I need to teach you this principle again?"
If it were before, Xiao Yu being reprimanded by her cold-hearted master, would certainly obediently admit fault, but today...
She indeed felt uneasy.
"I’m afraid now there’s one matter... needing you, Master, to investigate, thereby allowing you to decide whether to come over here, or.... go to Peach Blossom Villa."
Hmm... huh?
A nasal sound of surprise from that side.
Then came sounds of fighting, and cold angry roars...
King of Red Water, obviously already found by her master, still fighting?
"Continue."
The person over there said lightly.
Xiao Yu then took photos, then... (This is a major event, a shocking major event!)
————————
At Peach Blossom Villa, Pierre and the others felt a surge of emotions, but suddenly discovered they were severely injured, thus harboring deep resentment toward Mo Du and others, and Jiang Chenyu, gritting their teeth.
However, Jiang Chenyu from the start has listed them as targets to eliminate, now with threats eliminated, these super masters in her eyes were already insignificant grains of sand.
She only cared about one person.
Her gaze swept past the already captured Sui Zimu and another, then swept past Sui Yi who was surrounded heavily.
"You cannot become my opponent, right?"
Like an intimate question between friends.
