Chapter 594: Specifically targeting him, Caught in a dilemma
The sky gradually dimmed as dark clouds floated from a distance, covering the sky and the earth. Everything was silent, except for the occasional roar of a ferocious beast from a distance which was terrifying.
The night wind swished, while the sand and stones rolled on the hills and valleys. There were tall and steep mountains on all sides, and it was difficult to see the other cultivators.
Tuoba Qingyu never expected to meet other people in such a remote place. She had encountered a great enemy at the border of the Great Wilderness before. After fighting with him, she was seriously injured, so she had to find a place to recuperate. She thought that this place was remote and uninhabited and that no one would disturb her there.
Tuoba Qingyu’s eyes were frosty, staring at several cultivators who were walking toward her. She shouted, “Who are you? I don’t know you.”
A young man with a scar on his face sneered, “Miss Qingyu, you are such a n.o.ble person, how forgetful you are.”
“Do you still remember that some time ago, after a ragged man accidentally b.u.mped into you on the street, you sent someone to hack him to death, thinking that he stained your clothes? My little brother was really unfortunate, he just died so unexplainably.”
As he spoke, a deep hatred appeared on his face, as if he and Tuoba Qingyu had a sworn hatred.
“I haven’t seen your so-called brother. I don’t remember this incident either, did you find the wrong person?” Tuoba Qingyu frowned and shouted in a cold voice.
She didn’t remember asking someone to hack anyone to death. And with her character, even after being hit by someone, she wouldn’t do such a thing. The person in front of her was obviously spitting blood, maliciously pouring black water on her.
Her first reaction was that her father Tuoba Yuntian’s opponents in the court had taken this opportunity to frame her. After all, she wouldn’t have any conflicts for no reason.
“Hehe, yes, you really won’t remember. After all, he was just an insignificant person. For you, it is as easy as crushing an ant. But he is my own brother, and I have to avenge him.”
The young man with the scar on his face looked up to the sky with a sneer as if he wanted to vent all the anger and hatred during this period.
“You are talking nonsense, I have never done such a thing.” Tuoba Qingyu’s face was full of anger.
“It’s useless to talk too much. Today I will avenge my brother who died. However, before that, if I can have a taste of Miss Qingyu, it would not be in vain for me to wait for this life.”
The man with the scar laughed out loud, not talking nonsense as he directly swung his knife forward to attack.
The terrifying sword aura descended vertically and horizontally, carrying a cold murderous aura like a vast sea submerging forward, causing the clouds in the sky to be shattered.
At the same time, the people behind him also made their move. They were not simple and cooperated very tacitly, almost instantly placing Tuoba Qingyu at a disadvantage.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you? I have no enmity with you!”
Tuoba Qingyu’s figure flew back. She had a look of shock on her face. Just at the first moment of the fight, she felt her blood tumbling, and her injury was triggered again.
It never occurred to her that she was no match for the scarred man in front of her. It was absolutely impossible for the other party to be an unknown person.
One must know that even though she was injured now, it was enough to sweep away most of the young supreme beings in the Great Yu. This man with a scar who suddenly appeared to avenge his younger brother was simply too powerful.
“I’m just a person who wants to avenge my brother, no one can save you today.”
The man with the scar didn’t say much, he attacked again. A snow-white long knife appeared in his hand, and he chopped it off like a dragon piercing the sky, illuminating the night sky.
This was the sword energy that contained the ultimate killing intent, and it could not be condensed without ma.s.sacring tens of millions of people.
A big mountain couldn’t bear it, and the top of the mountain started cracking. Due to the terrifying sword aura, several large cracks appeared, making the scene terrifying.
“Boom!”
Tuoba Qingyu’s face changed, and the mountain she was standing on had dozens of huge boulders crushed as they were being cut by this sword energy before collapsing with a bang.
Then the top of the mountain was destroyed, the rocks pierced through the sky, smoke and dust rose everywhere.
In the endless mountains, many beasts were terrified and fled in all directions, creating chaos. Many more beasts crawled on the ground in fright, trembling.
Many birds soared into the sky, wanting to leave this terrible place. But as soon as they rushed into the air, they collapsed and were crushed by the murderous aura that filled the world, turning into blood flowers one after another. All of their bodies and souls were destroyed on the spot, nothing was left.
Only the blood mist surrounded the two sides. The lingering killing intent was like a knife, cutting off all tangible life, those who entered would be destroyed.
“Uhh…”
Tuoba Qingyu was no match for the man with the scar. After a few moves, she kept coughing up blood, so she could only turn into a divine light to flee into the distance.
There was a turbulent wave in her heart, the strength of the other party could definitely be ranked at the forefront among the geniuses who partic.i.p.ated in the hunting conference this time. But he still chose to make a move when she was injured.
This kind of cautiousness was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
“Running away? Let’s see who can save you today.” The man with the scar looked cold and chased after him with a sky knife in his hand.
Tens of thousands of sword lights slashed away and destroyed all the mountains in the front, turning them into ashes. The momentum was extremely terrifying. This scene attracted the attention of many outsiders.
Although it was at night, many ministers had advanced cultivation, and it was easy to see clearly the scene manifested in the colorful and exquisite Tower. Because of her outstanding appearance and strong talent, Tuoba Qingyu was well-known in the imperial capital.
Moreover, her father was an important minister in the court, with great power. So many people were no strangers to her, and they all showed surprise.
At this moment in the great wilderness, she had encountered a great crisis, was besieged by many people as she kept bleeding, and her aura was weak, so she could only flee away.
The man with the scar even uttered big words, saying he wanted to taste Tuoba Qingyu. They had to say that he was extremely bold. These words were tantamount to offending Tuoba Yuntian to death, and they were thousands of times more terrifying than the provocation.
Even if he could leave the wilderness alive, he would never return to the imperial capital alive.
Although the scarred man pursued and attacked Tuoba Qingyu for revenge, in the eyes of the ministers of Great Yu, this was not important. To get to this point, who did not have the blood of innocent lives in their hands?
“This Tuoba Qingyu is in danger. In her current state, she will be caught up in half an hour at most,” A minister said in a deep voice, although Tuoba Qingyu used an extremely precious escape secret treasure, her spiritual energy was limited after all.
The moment her spiritual energy was exhausted she would be chased, humiliated, and killed. Thinking of this, many people secretly looked at Tuoba Qingyu’s father, Tuoba Yuntian, the current General.
Tuoba Yuntian stood behind Emperor Yu, his face was extremely gloomy, there was a lot of anger in his eyes, and his fists were clenched. Anyone could see the anger of the General at the moment.
He saw the whole story from the beginning to the end, regardless of whether the scarred man’s revenge was true or not, he would never allow his daughter to be humiliated and killed.
This was absolutely a great shame!
“Which faction’s disciple is this?” His figure was very gloomy, staring at the manifesting scene.
The man with the scar and the others were all wearing uniform clothing with patterns of swords embroidered on it, which was extremely exquisite.
“This seems to be a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect…” A minister next to him hesitated.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was a third-rate sect in the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, and it was impossible to cultivate such a proud man as the scarred man.
“They are not from the Heavenly Sword Sect, they just sneaked in…” Tuoba Yuntian was not stupid and he could tell the truth at a glance.
This group of people obviously planned it long ago, and deliberately put on the costumes of the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, pretending to be fake.
This made him even angrier, wishing he could rush into the wilderness alone to rescue her daughter.
In the distance, the faces of the Elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect were also pale with fright. They collapsed on the ground, trembling unceasingly, feeling that their own power was in serious trouble.
Although the group of people led by the man with the scar was wearing the uniform of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they didn’t know any of them. If any accident happened to the daughter of the Great General Zhen Guo in the wilderness, then their sect might be implicated, and the consequences would be disastrous.
“This guy is really crazy.”
Emperor Yu was also frowning. He was paying close attention to the second prince Yu Lie, but he was still attracted by Tuoba Qingyu’s affairs.
“It seems that the other party came prepared, and this Fourth Miss of the Tuoba Mansion seems to be in danger.”
Hearing the many voices of discussion around, Gu Changge seemed to be unable to bear it, and couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing softly.
Hearing this, Emperor Yu nodded, and said sullenly, “Such guys have been mixed into this hunting conference. The Emperor must investigate their negligence.”
He was furious in his heart as he never thought that so many outsiders would be mixed in. Wouldn’t the rest of the geniuses face equally dangerous problems? The second prince Yu Lie might also be a.s.sa.s.sinated in the same way.
Gu Changge said slightly strangely, “If this kind of thing happens, does His Majesty Emperor Yu have no countermeasures?”
Emperor Yu sighed and explained, “Young Master Changge doesn’t know something. In the past, there have actually been incidents where the children of the Royal family died in hunting conferences.”
“Even this Emperor cannot interrupt this hunt and destroy Great Yu’s tradition. However, the disciples who enter it have contact jade on their bodies. When they encounter danger, they can notify the disciples of the same clan. This is also a way to deal with it…”
Gu Changge said with a sudden expression on his face, “So that’s the case, so now I can only pray for the fourth lady of Tuoba Mansion, right?”
Emperor Yu nodded heavily, and then said, “Now let’s see if the other children of General Tuoba can come in time to rescue that girl Qingyu.”
Tuoba Qingyu could be regarded as someone he watched grow up, and even deliberately made the second prince Yu Lie accept her as his concubine. So seeing her in crisis, he couldn’t bear it and was very gloomy.
“How many other children of General Tuoba?”
A thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of Gu Changge’s mouth, and his eyes fell on the colorful and exquisite tower.
He naturally knew the rules of the hunting conference, so he was not worried that what happened in it would be interfered with by the outside world.
Tuoba Qingyu was probably asking for help from her third elder brother Tuoba Xiaoyao or her second sister Tuoba Lingqiong at this moment.
Gu Changge also wanted to see if Tuoba Xiaoyao was really clumsy, or just so capable.
Would he save his sister? Or would he continue to hide?
After all, Tuoba Lingqiong’s side was also facing a crisis now and could not escape safely.
“d.a.m.n it! Who the h.e.l.l is plotting against me, come at me if you have the ability!”
Tuoba Yuntian naturally also saw the scene manifested in the colorful and exquisite black and yellow tower. His face was even more ugly, and there were even blue veins on his forehead.
On a hill, the sword light was dazzling, the rays of the sun were overwhelming, and the terrifying murderous aura filled heaven and earth as if hundreds of millions of sword lights had erupted before turning into a mountain torrent.
Tuoba Lingqiong coughed up blood and flew upside down, but was stabbed by a masked mysterious young woman with a sword, piercing through her arm!
His second daughter had also encountered a formidable enemy now, and she was in danger, so naturally, she had no chance to rescue the fourth daughter. This made him extremely angry, thinking that his enemies must be plotting against him!
Could it be that now he could only rely on his hopeless third son?
There was hatred in Tuoba Yuntian’s heart, and more of it was deep helplessness and sadness. How much was Tuoba Xiaoyao capable, didn’t he already know it?
Even if he went to rescue Tuoba Qingyu, it would be nothing more than death for no reason. What would be the use?
“That girl Qingyu is in danger?”
In the depths of the wilderness here, the night was thick and a bonfire was flickering in an extremely humid cave. Tuoba Xiaoyao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, wearing a black robe, with a firm and dull face.
But at this moment, a jade talisman in his palm was emitting a faint light, causing his expression to change drastically.
Tuoba Xiaoyao stood up suddenly, his face seemed cloudy and uncertain.
According to Tuoba Qingyu’s character, if she was not in a particularly dangerous situation, it would be impossible to send him a distress signal. The current situation should be that the second sister could no longer help it, so she asked him for help.
This was already the most helpless and last choice!
“What happened? Even the second sister can’t get away?” Tuoba Xiaoyao raised his head and glanced at the sky. The night was like a curtain, revealing a darkness that made his heart palpitate.
He suddenly felt a deep uneasiness, as if there were a pair of eyes watching his every move, seeing him thoroughly and cleanly! It was impossible for Tuoba Qingyu’s character to provoke any life-and-death enemy.
This was definitely not a coincidence!
“If I go to rescue Qingyu, then all the years of hiding my strength will be exposed! Everyone will know that I have hidden my talent… I’ll even repeat the mistakes of my previous life!”
Tuoba Xiaoyao’s face became very ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and he fell into an extremely difficult situation.
There was even a kind of intuition telling him that this was especially aimed at him! There was a deep hatred surging in his heart!
