I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 30: Heart-Erosion Pill
For the first time, Wan Yunxiang looked at the woman in front of him carefully with a serious gaze, as if he was getting to know her all over again.

Wan Yunxiang used to think that Mo Ruyan was just a fledgling growing up under the protection of Lord Mo.

Lord Mo holds a very high status in the eyes of martial artists in the Great Yan Dynasty, but his daughter's aptitude in martial arts is mediocre and she has not yet broken through to the eighth rank.

Many people respectfully called her "Princess" on the surface, but in fact they were secretly criticizing her in their hearts: a tiger father and a dog daughter.

It was for this reason that they had not attacked Prince Wu's Palace, but had instead targeted other kings of different surnames.

But now it seems that they all underestimated the courage of Princess Wuyan.

The jade hairpin had already pierced into Mo Ruyan's neck. Her face had turned pale. If it had gone a little deeper, her life would be in danger. Even Wan Yunxiang could not guarantee that he could successfully attack Mo Ruyan and successfully take the jade hairpin from her hand under the protection of the Silver Armor Army and Yang Kuan and others.

If the operation fails and Mo Ruyan really dies, their operation will be in vain.

Mo Ruyan didn't say anything else, nor did she avoid Wan Yunxiang's sharp gaze. She used her eyes and actions to prove her determination.

Everyone felt distressed and upset, but they did not dare to step forward to stop her at this time, because that would ruin her determination.

In one breath, two breaths, the blood flowing from the wound on the neck dyed Mo Ruyan's shoulders and clothes red, which was shocking.

Wan Yunxiang sighed, retracting his Grandmaster's authority, and his tone softened immediately: "Lord Mo truly has a good daughter. If you win, I can spare them, but someone must stay with you. If you end up deceiving me, I will kill that person immediately, and no one else will be able to escape."

As he spoke, Wan Yunxiang looked at Mo Ruyan and his group, and pointed his finger: "It's you."

Lai Yang's expression changed. What the hell? What a coincidence!

Seeing this, Mo Ruyan's expression changed, and she shouted anxiously: "No!"

The more nervous Mo Ruyan appeared, the more it proved that Wan Yunxiang had not chosen the wrong person.

"That's right, it's him."

"I heard that you were Ruyan's benefactor who saved her life once, and you two even attended the Seventh Princess's Garden Poetry Festival together. She wouldn't be willing to watch you die in my hands, would she?"

"The others can go, but he will stay with you and go with us to get the Tiger Talisman and the Silver Armor Token. As long as you hand over the Tiger Talisman and the Silver Armor Token from Northern Frontier City to me, I will let you go."

Bah, even dogs won’t believe these words. They’re only good enough to fool three-year-old children. Anyone who believes them is a fool.

Lai Yang was disdainful and critical in his heart.

However, he was surprised and more relieved that the other party chose him.

After all, among these people, he was the only one who was most confident of escaping with Mo Ruyan.

As long as he is given some more time, he will become stronger and may be able to turn the situation around where he is at the mercy of others.

He also said that as long as Mo Ruyan led them to find the tiger talisman and silver armor order of Beijiang City, he would not kill them.

The implication is that as long as these two things are not found, they are safe.

Even if they wanted to threaten Mo Ruyan with his life, they would not easily attack him during this period. At most, they would torture him to force Mo Ruyan to find something.

This is the only way to save everyone right now.

He also didn't want to watch Mo Ruyan die alone.

"I have nothing to do with him, and he is not from our Wuwang Mansion. This matter has nothing to do with him, and you shouldn't involve him." Mo Ruyan said anxiously.

"You can't tell me whether it matters or not. I'm not negotiating with you. If you don't agree and you die, then I will kill everyone." Wan Yunxiang said in a cold and hard tone.

Mo Ruyan's expression froze and she stood there in a daze, feeling extremely tormented.

On one side are the people from Prince Wu's Mansion, and on the other side are the person she likes. It is really difficult for her to make a decision.

At this moment, Lai Yang took the initiative to stand up, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything, I will stay and let them go."

"You..." Mo Ruyan looked at Lai Yang in astonishment, wanting to say something but unable to. Lai Yang didn't look at Mo Ruyan, but stared at Wan Yunxiang and repeated, "I'll stay and let them go."

"Interesting, you're quite brave." Wan Yunxiang looked at Lai Yang with interest. He then tossed the Heart-Eroding Pill in his hand to Lai Yang and said calmly, "Words are not enough. Eat it and I'll let them go. Once we get the thing, I'll give you the antidote."

"That's a poisonous pill. It can be fatal. You can't eat it." Mo Ruyan shouted anxiously.

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the Heart-Eroding Pill.

He had to eat it because he knew that if he didn't eat it, Wan Yunxiang would definitely not believe him, the damn old fox.

But he is not joking with his own life. You know, his defense panel does not only refer to physical defense, but comprehensive physical defense, which includes various negative states of the body and resistance to poison!
He is not stupid. If he really wants to exchange his life for the lives of others, he is not selfless enough to be a saint. He will not do anything without certainty.

Seeing that Lai Yang actually swallowed the Heart-Eroding Pill in public.

The Silver Armor Army, Yang Kuan, Mo Ruyan, and Mo Ruyan's personal maid were all shocked.

Mo Ruyan couldn't help but shed tears in her beautiful eyes. It was she who endangered his life.

If she had not acted too close to him in the imperial city, he would not have been forced to take the Heart-Erosion Pill and be controlled by Wan Yunxiang.

Lai Yang looked up at Wan Yunxiang with an unpleasant expression, his eyes filled with humiliation and anger, and said in a cold voice: "I have taken the pills, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

A smile appeared on Wan Yunxiang's face, and he actually felt a sense of cherishing talent in his heart.

"You're brave, and you're quite good. I'm suddenly a little reluctant to kill you. As long as you cooperate with us, I might arrange for you to join the Forbidden Guard. With your skills and courage, working under me, as long as you don't die halfway, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"Of course, that's only if we get what we want."

"Mo Ruyan, this kid, and the carriage stay here. Everyone else, submit to a body search, and then you can get out. Go back alive and tell the others that we'll take the princess away first."

"Don't even think about it. Our mission is to protect the princess. If you want to take the princess away, you have to step over our dead bodies!" The silver-armored soldiers shouted angrily.

"Silver Armor Army, listen up!" Mo Ruyan shouted.

"Here!" The Silver Armor Army shouted subconsciously.

"As the daughter of King Tongwu, I order you to return to Beijiang City alive and tell everyone in Beijiang City the news."

Everyone was silent when talking about Qiyuan.

"Beijiang City still needs you. You shouldn't die here meaninglessly. Go back alive and protect the people of Beijiang City for me, my father, and the Wuwang Mansion."

The eyes of the Silver Armored Army members turned red, and they tightly gripped their weapons. A feeling of anger and powerlessness surged in their hearts.

"Put down your weapons." Mo Ruyan said.

"Princess..."

"I told you to put down your weapons!" Mo Ruyan roared.

Tan Qiyuan shouted sternly: "Everyone, put down your weapons!"

Bangdang…

Weapons were thrown to the ground one by one.

Wan Yunxiang watched this scene coldly, his heart slightly shaken.

Fortunately, Mo Ruyan is a woman, and fortunately she does not have the same strong qualifications as her father.

Otherwise, the destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty might not be able to suppress this terrifying father and daughter.
