Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 639 The Master Has Arrived

The matter of sending Shi Chun out of the city in the city lord's carriage? Yin Xu turned his head and his gaze searched for the chief steward Hu Gongxian. The latter avoided eye contact and lowered his head, which undoubtedly proved that Yin Xu's judgment was that he was the one who leaked it.

Yin Xu angrily questioned, "We are of the same clan and lineage. I believe I have treated you well. Why would you betray me?"

Hu Gongxian looked up, quite helplessly, and said, "Sister Hong, I'm really doing this for your own good, and for everyone's good..."

The Western Emperor replied, "If I couldn't understand the situation here, how could I possibly give you any convenience? So he's right. If he didn't bow down, how could you have gained a foothold here? You don't really think I'd lack women to serve me, do you?"

Yin Xu seemed unable to accept it, and asked in a trembling voice, "You said you wanted to marry me, is that true?"

The Western Emperor calmly retorted, "You agreed to stop that business, so why are you doing it behind my back?"

"I..." Yin Xu was speechless, and became hysterical, still asking that one question, "You said you wanted to marry me, is that true?"

Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason and would have to suffer the consequences, the Western Emperor raised his chin at Ying Gang and said, "You can handle it as you see fit."

Not long ago, they were still deeply in love, but now they are discarded like worn-out shoes. Yin Xudun's face turned crazy, and he pounced on the Western Emperor like a madman, as if he wanted to fight to the death.

However, without touching the Western Emperor at all, Ying Gang pressed him down with a palm strike from a distance, and with a flick of his sleeve, knocked him to the ground.

Yin Xu choked on blood on the spot. Xi Quan, who had just dodged, quickly subdued him, grabbed his hair, and dragged him away like a dead dog.

Hu Gongxian, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked and quickly went to the Western Emperor. "Lord of the Domain, you said it was for Sister Hong's own good. How can you hand her over to someone else?"

"Noisy!"

Bang! The Western Emperor suddenly struck out, hitting Hu Gongxian in the chest with a palm, sending him flying out of the flowers and grass, his blood spraying all the way onto the plants.

The incident happened suddenly, and Hu Gongxian, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground and immediately lost consciousness.

Yin Xu tried to turn around but was grabbed by the hair and couldn't turn around. He could only roar at the Western Emperor, "Western Emperor, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

Ying Gang approached her, pinched her chin, and asked, "Where is Shi Chun?"

Yin Xu immediately glared at him angrily and retorted, "If you have the guts to kill me, my ancestor will definitely seek justice for me!"

A strange look appeared on Ying Gang's face as he asked her, "You don't really think you're the Qingqiu Patriarch's maid, do you? You're not even deceiving yourself, are you?"

Yin Xu suddenly realized something, glanced at the direction where Hu Gongxian had fallen, struggled for a moment, but could not break free.

Ying Gang: "I don't have time to waste with you. I need to find a way to find Shi Chun. If I behave myself, I'll suffer less!"

Yin Xu roared, "I don't know anything, just kill me!"

Ying Gang said indifferently, "You think you're tough? Then you'd better not regret it." As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand.

The Western Emperor walked over, intervened, and directly pulled off the Qiankun bag from Yin Xu's waist. He then used magic to conjure up a bunch of mother-child talismans, which floated in front of him.

His gaze searched among them, then locked onto the one with the number he had noted down, picked it up, and the other mother-child charms fell to the ground with a clatter.

He showed the number to Yin Xu and said coldly, "If I remember correctly, this is the one that contacted Shi Chun, right?"

Upon seeing this, Yin Xu's eyes instantly filled with grief and indignation. He realized the purpose behind Shi Chun's approach when he contacted him earlier, and he shrieked, "Western Emperor, you will be punished! You will definitely be punished!"

These words seemed to anger the Western Emperor. He grabbed one of her ears and said sternly, "I told you not to get involved, why didn't you listen? How dare you betray me in secret!"

As he spoke, he ripped off one of Yin Xu's ears, blood splattering everywhere.

"Ah..." Yin Xu screamed in agony, his whole body trembling with pain, but he was unable to break free from the control that was gripping his hair, and blood kept flowing from the tear.

And that ear was soon transformed into a fluffy fox ear in the hands of the Western Emperor.

He casually tossed aside the ear, picked up the mother-child talisman, and sent a coded message to Shi Chun: Are you alright?
Ying Gang leaned closer to examine it.

Shi Chun quickly replied: It's okay, you bring Tian Shen out to meet first.

"Tian Shen..." the Western Emperor muttered, "What other tricks does this Tian Shen have up his sleeve?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xu knew that Shi Chun had been deceived and was unable to break free, so he could only wail, "Western Emperor, you will die a horrible death!"

Xihuang followed up with another kick.

With a snap, Yin Xu's leg bone broke, followed by another piercing scream. He could no longer stand, and even if someone grabbed his hair, he wouldn't fall.

The Western Emperor continued to send messages asking: Where should we meet?
Shi Chun replied: Contact me again after you and Tian Shen are out.

Ying Gang said from the side, "We can't get out now; the protective array is activated."

The Western Emperor calmly said, "My coming and going shouldn't be a big problem. First, find Tian Shen, the second steward of Zhu Lang Pavilion."

Ying Gang turned his head and gestured to Xi Quan.

Xi Quan immediately abandoned Yin Xu, who was trembling with pain, and left.

"Western Emperor, you've messed with the wrong person, hahahaha..." Yin Xu, in pain, suddenly grinned maliciously, his gaze towards the Western Emperor filled with venomous mockery.

She still believes that Shi Chun has the protection of the Qingqiu Ancestor, and she longs to see the Western Emperor trembling in fear.

However, the Western Emperor didn't need to wait; he could make her suffer right now. Seeing her still spouting nonsense, he lightly moved his foot and stepped on her arm. His face, looking down at her, was cold and calm, as if he were looking at an ant. There was no trace of the tenderness they once shared. Yin Xu hurriedly tried to pull her hand away, but her cultivation was restricted, so she couldn't move it. Even if her cultivation were unrestricted, she wouldn't have the strength to contend with the Western Emperor. She seemed to know what was about to happen, and her tension and fear made her breathing difficult.

As it turned out, what I feared most came to pass; the man disregarded our past relationship.

With a snap, the Western Emperor mercilessly stomped on and broke that arm.

"Ah..." Yin Xu, whose body was covered in blood, let out another miserable scream.

The Western Emperor sent another message through the Mother-Child Talisman in his hand: The city's protective formation is sealed. I'll think of a way.

Under the cover of night on the grassland, Shi Chun, who had been wandering around for a while, suddenly emerged from the clover grove and landed on a slope.

Yu Xuanbing, who was inside the cloak, had already returned and was waiting for him with Wu Jinliang.

Shi Chun didn't care about anything else; the first thing he asked upon meeting was, "Did you succeed?"

There was nothing that could be done; that bastard Yu Xuanbing refused to accept the mother-child talisman, and wouldn't even touch a piece of paper from someone else unless absolutely necessary, so it was impossible to contact him beforehand.

He was a little suspicious that Yu Xuanbing had returned so quickly. Wasn't it said that they might not be able to finish the task tonight?
Yu Xuanbing didn't say anything, but simply took out an umbrella and threw it over.

As soon as Shi Chun received it, Wu Jinliang immediately went over and the two of them curiously examined it together.

The golden command arrow was already embedded in the fan handle. This command arrow should be genuine. As for the umbrella frame, it was the same one that Shi Chun had seen in the temple. It should also be genuine. The black and gold colors on the umbrella surface were like mysterious glimpses from the depths of the starry sky.

When they used magic to investigate, they could feel the immense power within, which was beyond their cultivation and knowledge to break.

"This is a real treasure! Now that we've got it..." Wu Jinliang reached out and stroked it, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Shi Chun was also deeply moved, not only because he had obtained a great treasure, but also because he was incredulous at how quickly Yu Xuanbing had succeeded. He really didn't know how this guy had done it; it was ridiculously fast. If it were him, even with his right eye's special ability, he would probably still be hiding on the sacred mountain looking for an opportunity.

This is basically a "go and come back" concept, treating the group of experts on the sacred mountain as nothing. Now I can understand why this guy could be feared by various forces even when he was only at the Earth Immortal realm.

He was already figuring out how to get Wu Jinliang to study this assassin's techniques in his "All Aspects of Skill".

Wu Jinliang, who was fiddling with his umbrella, suddenly spoke up: "Let's find a place to try it out in the spring."

Shi Chun: "This place isn't suitable. Let's try again in the underworld."

Wu Jinliang: "Then let's go."

Shi Chun said, "No rush. We'll wait a bit. Yin Xu said she'd take Tian Shen out of the city. The Extreme Fire Sect has already set its sights on her. I'm a little doubtful whether she can escape easily. When we meet later, I'll have to trouble you to check on her safety." He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yu Xuanbing.

Yu Xuanbing remained noncommittal...

Inside the Divine Mountain Prison, Phoenix Clan Chief Feng Xi was personally interrogating Granny Qi when Feng Qingping suddenly pulled out a mother-child talisman, glanced at it, and then transmitted her voice to Feng Xi: "Clan Chief, the Great Master of the Qingqiu Fox Clan has arrived outside the North Gate of Yaoshan City, but she is blocked by the protective array. She wants to enter the city and asks to be allowed to pass."

Feng Xi chuckled and replied telepathically, "Today is truly strange; all sorts of weird things have popped up."

He didn't object much, suppressing his pent-up anger, and continued interrogating Granny Qi.

If there's no objection, then it's fine. Feng Qingping immediately took out another mother-child talisman and sent a message to the city lord of Yaoshan City, asking him to let them pass.

At the entrance to the north gate of Yaoshan City, Yin Ning stood outside with four attendants. After hearing that the city gate was closed, she was too lazy to introduce herself to the guards and make a fuss, because the guards were not qualified. She directly contacted Feng Qingping to handle the matter.

The door opened quickly, and the city lord himself came out to greet them.

After entering the city, Yin Ning exchanged a few pleasantries with the city lord and then led his men straight to Zhu Lang Pavilion. They didn't walk there; they flew there directly.

Without even a word, they blatantly violated the rules, leaving the city lord speechless as he watched them leave.

Yin Ning and his group did not go through the main gate of Zhu Lang Pavilion, but landed directly on the rooftop of Zhu Lang Pavilion.

Before the person even landed, they could smell a hint of blood and see the dead Hu Gongxian lying on the ground. Hu Gongxian had already revealed his true form as a fox. There was no one else on the roof.

The group landed directly next to Hu Gongxian. Yin Ning, who was crouching down, personally examined him and found that he was dead, with all his internal organs damaged, but his body was still warm.

Yin Ning waved her hand, and the four people accompanying her immediately began the search. She herself pried open Hu Gongxian's mouth, opened her mouth, and spat out a bright red pill that was glowing red, which disappeared into Hu Gongxian's mouth.

A moment later, Hu Gongxian's body trembled, and he regained his senses. He slowly opened his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him, he seemed somewhat excited.

Yin Ning asked, "What happened?"

Hu Gongxian uttered broken, human words: "Sister Hong, the Western Emperor, Yin Xu has been captured, Master, save her..."

Yin Ning asked, "Did the Western Emperor capture Yin Xu?"

Hu Gongxian: "Yes."

Yin Ning asked, "When did this happen?"

Hu Gongxian: "Just...just."

Yin Ning didn't know how long he had been unconscious, or how long his so-called "just now" had been. He immediately took out the mother-child talisman and contacted Feng Qingping directly, asking her to ask the city gate guards if the Western Emperor had left the city. If not, she should tell the guards to immediately seal the city gate and not allow anyone to leave. If the Western Emperor was found, he should be detained immediately!

Meanwhile, the Western Emperor and his entourage were in a carriage, specifically Yin Xu's carriage. Yin Xu's current situation was not good, and he needed a carriage to cover himself when leaving the city.
