47. Kindness?
When did it start?
Perhaps one day in the cage, or perhaps the first time she met the people of the Heavenly Sin, and from their hands, she obtained the cultivation technique that could turn everything around.
Or perhaps, after the incident with the Heavenly Evil, some evil thoughts were rooted in the fire of hatred, almost burning her to ashes, almost making her… unable to extricate herself.
Perhaps the Murong Yun who once thought she could live a peaceful life under her brother’s protection had already died on the day the Twin Gu and the Death-Severing Pill took effect at the same time.
Now, all that was left in this world was a person who had studied the sinister and strange arts for more than ten years, and who would not hesitate to sacrifice everything to achieve her goal.
“It’s useless to say more.” Murong Yun glanced at Gong Muzhi and Long Yingchi, who were about to break through the ghost art, and gave a slight signal to Yuan Qin.
Then, Yuan Qin, who was only half a step away from Yan Chuyue, grabbed her and held a long knife to her neck.
“You…!”
“Don’t worry.” Murong Yun said, “You have saved my life. I will not kill you, but this formation cannot hold those two for too long.”
“No matter what I have hidden and deceived, my next words will not be a lie. As long as you leave and promise not to interfere in this matter, I will let Miss Yan go.”
“Are you threatening us?”
“This is a deal.” Murong Yun said, “And this is also to give you more time to think.”
“Now, only I in the Murong family can take charge of the overall situation. If you kill me, the military of the Youhan Dynasty will be leaderless. At that time, the dynasty will be in chaos. Is this what you want to see?”
At these words, Yan Chuyue really fell silent.
She had been worried about this matter before, which was why she had tried her best to save people. But who knew that the person they had saved was actually from the Heavenly Sin?
Now that Murong Jing was already dead…
“Auntie Mu, Brother Long, you take these people and leave first.” Yan Chuyue forced herself to calm down and said, “As for the other things, we will discuss them after Yiling comes out. Let’s just do this for now.”
“Mmm…” Gong Muzhi frowned. Although the restriction of the ghost qi was almost useless to her now, but now, besides doing as Chuyue said, there seemed to be no other way.
However…
Just then…
A scorching aura suddenly filled the air, and the spiritual energy in the space suddenly became violent and chaotic.
This sudden change did not seem to be caused by anyone present, but no one knew what had happened.
Until…
A blood-red lightning blade seemed to have split out from a different space. The moment this sword appeared, the entire main hall heard a rumbling thunder.
Instantly, the light in the center of the main hall was so dazzling that no one could open their eyes. In a flash, no one knew what had happened.
And after the strong light dissipated, Yuan Qin had been pulled to the side by Murong Yun. The cut on his half-severed arm had been scorched black by the lightning strike, and there was no need to stop the bleeding.
Of course, if Murong Yun’s action had been a fraction of a second slower, Yuan Qin would probably have been cut in two by this blood-red lightning sword.
As for the other side…
Yan Chuyue didn’t even know what had happened, and she had already fallen into an embrace.
But this embrace… always felt ridiculously small, and holding her always felt a bit restrained.
The only person who could give her this feeling was naturally only one person.
“Yiling?”
Yan Chuyue said with a pleasant surprise, “You’re finally back?!”
“If I don’t come back, something big will happen.” After Miss Gong put Yan Chuyue down, she finally discovered some things that were worth paying attention to.
For example, her height.
“Holy crap, how did I change back again!” Miss Gong instinctively threw a pill into her mouth, but the nascent soul power in her body was too strong and chaotic. The effect of the medicine had not yet taken effect, and the medicinal power had been squeezed to nowhere.
So she couldn’t even take medicine now?
Forget it. Now was not the time to care about whether she had become bigger or smaller.
Gong Yiling quickly patted her own cheeks, picked up her longsword, and said, “Where’s Murong Jing? Is he still alive?”
But as soon as she looked closely, she saw someone lying on the dragon throne.
“He’s dead. He was already dead long before you came.” Yan Chuyue shrugged helplessly. “I couldn’t stop that girl, and you didn’t say that she wasn’t one of us.”
“I only figured it out when I was inside.” Gong Yiling looked at Murong Yun with a complicated expression. “This is the first time I’ve been so wrong about someone.”
“I deliberately concealed it.” Murong Yun shook her head. “It’s not that Miss Gong is not a good judge of character.”
“I don’t want to hear this kind of talk.” Miss Gong took a deep breath and then pointed her longsword at Murong Yun. “You said you wanted to die, but now you’ve become the king of a country. Were those heartfelt words just an excuse for you to gain sympathy?”
“I did think about it…” Murong Yun couldn’t help but smile wryly. “If I really could choose, I would rather choose to do nothing. Life is fleeting. What’s the point of struggling to survive in this quagmire?”
“But I…” The woman looked around the entire palace and let out a sigh. “I have no choice.”
“No one has ever had no choice.” Gong Yiling said in a deep voice, “I gave you a chance. At least I can help you kick this guy off the throne. Then you can do whatever you want. I can ignore you.”
“But you ultimately chose to stand with the Heavenly Sin. Although I have no right to criticize you for what you want to do to take revenge, but similarly,”
Suddenly, a full-fledged crimson flame erupted from Gong Yiling’s body again, and her body began to be surrounded by thunder that was sometimes there and sometimes not.
“I can also choose to take back all my kindness here.”
“Boom!!!”
The aura surged, and a swift wave quickly swept across the entire main hall, spreading the paralyzing feeling of thunder to all aspects of this main hall.
Under this burst of aura, although Gong Yiling’s cultivation still seemed to be at the peak of the Earthly Nether realm on the surface, she was not at a disadvantage against Murong Yun at all, and even had a tendency to overwhelm the other party.
Dual styles working together, a surging aura like the sea, the power of heavenly thunder, and unparalleled sword techniques, all of these things appeared on one person, and the final result was a stunning cross-border.
“Interesting.”
As she spoke, a man also suddenly appeared beside Murong Yun.
A few drops of blood were seeping from the corner of his mouth, as if he had been seriously injured. He did not hesitate to exclaim a few times at the girl’s explosion at this moment.
“To stimulate the power of the Immortal Mansion with the realm of the Earthly Nether, from ancient times to the present, I have only seen one person.”
