Chapter 56

Chen Luoyang had an expressionless face, but his heart was filled with question marks.

What the hell is going on again?

Over at the Great Xia Empire’s side, the one that was fleeing at the front was a sloppy-looking old man. The old man was injured, and he was carrying a youth with a severed arm. The youth didn’t just have a severed arm, he was also covered in serious injuries and was in a coma.

They were none other than the Sword Pavilion’s Wen Liu and Xie Xingmang!

Following behind them were the martial artists from the Great Xia Empire, and they were in disorder and extremely miserable.

The Other Tribesmen behind weren’t doing well either. Apart from Xiuzhe, “Ghost Sword” Guo Ninglong wasn’t around, while “Golden Eagle” Murong Xing was carrying a person too. However, from the looks of it, instead of a person, it was better to say that it was a corpse. It was Helian Zhe’s corpse.

He was covered in wounds; he was in a bloody mess, and it was truly hard to look at him.

Murong Xing was carrying Helian Zhe’s corpse, while Xiuzhe was in a berserk state as he pursued the Great Xia Empire’s martial artists at the front. Behind them, Elder Fu, Elder Shou, and Zhang Tianheng were chasing behind closely.

When Chen Luoyang took another glance, he could see the palace in the horizon, and it was being pulled by four flood dragons towards this direction.

When Shi Jing and Nie Hua saw Wen Liu and Xie Xingmang, they quickly went over to help.

Xiao Yuntian and the others attempted to stop them, but the duo from the Sword Pavilion was willing to receive injuries to rush over to help Wen Liu and Xie Xingmang.

Nie Hua who was the fastest had taken over Xie Xingmang from Wen Liu before taking the lead to break out of the encirclement. Shi Jing who was the strongest provided protection to the others at the back.

Li Tai had also followed closely, but they were surprised when Black Emperor Xiuzhe ignored the members of the Sword Pavilion and immediately charged at the Great Xia Empire’s Sixth Prince with the intent to kill.

“Left Sage King?” Shi Jing and Li Tai took a closer look and actually saw Xiuzhe holding a head in his hand. It was obviously the head of Eunuch Xiao!

The Black Emperor had actually turned to attack his allies. The members of the Great Xia Empire were frightened.

“Helian Zhe and Fourth Senior’s injuries seem similar. They weren’t beaten by others, and those are more like injuries from falling and tumbling.” Shi Jing remained calm and took a glance. “Left Sage King, is there a misunderstanding?”

Xiuzhe was constantly coughing and didn’t even try to answer. He simply threw that head to Li Tai.

“Cult Master?” Xiao Yuntian looked at Chen Luoyang. Chen Luoyang actually wanted to stop here and end the pursuit, but if he let go of such a great opportunity, it would simply be too out of character and totally opposite of his normal behavior.

“Eliminate both parties of course. As for the sequence, you guys can make the decision,” he instructed indifferently.

“We shall comply with Cult Master’s orders. Cult Master, please rest for a moment, while we quickly take care of the enemies.” The rest of the cult members replied in unison.

The enemies had a falling-out and were attacking one another. They were fighting while escaping, and it was a great opportunity to strike them down. The Demon Cult simply had to chase from behind to clean up the mess, just like a pack of wolves rounding up a herd of sheep. The prey would ultimately collapse.

This was even more successful than Chen Luoyang had imagined.

“Tianheng will stay behind, the rest will go.” Chen Luoyang nodded.

Zhang Tianheng looked at Xiuzhe, Shi Jing, Li Tai, and the others while feeling a little hesitant. However, he still followed the instructions and came over to his cult master.

“What happened?” Chen Luoyang asked. He was obviously referring to why the alliance between the two enemies had been broken. Why was Helian Zhe and Xie Xingmang dead and severely injured respectively?

“Reporting to Cult Master, it was actually a lucky move.” Zhang Tianheng grinned and said, “I followed your instructions to deal with that Sword Pavilion’s Xie kid. I then asked someone to transport him and Xiuzhe’s gigolo to the valley.”

“To prevent any mishaps, the tents in the valley that are supposed to hide them are actually fake and used to mislead the enemy. The real hiding place…”

Zhang Tianheng paused for a moment before speaking, “I actually prepared two of the same sedan chairs that were meant for Young Lady Qingqing. I asked Snake and the others to hide those two fellows into the second empty sedan chair.”

It meant that the tents in the valley were empty, while the sedan chair that was supposed to carry Ying Qingqing was actually hidden with Helian Zhe and Xie Xingmang.

“Where is Young Lady Qingqing then?” Chen Luoyang asked indifferently.

The six dragons soared together while the palace flew at a significantly faster speed.

Zhang Tianheng boarded the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage together with Chen Luoyang while speaking, “Reporting to Cult Master, Young Lady Qingqing didn’t enter the valley. Another group of cult disciples switched and carried her to hide on the cliff at the other side. The original group of disciples carried the sedan chair with those two dying fellows into the valley.”

He laughed and said, “I think that Young Lady Qingqing is much more important than the other two.”

“What happened afterwards?” Chen Luoyang didn’t express his opinion. “Do you mean to say that the members of the Great Xia Empire believed that Young Lady Qingqing was in the sedan chair at the valley and launched an attack on that sedan chair?”

Zhang Tianheng had this strange smile as he said, “Reporting to Cult Master, once Elder Shou started crossing moves with the Sword Pavilion’s Wen Liu in the valley, Xiuzhe and the two men were alerted. Elder Fu, I, and Vajra were fighting and chasing as we headed for the valley. They couldn’t deal with us and couldn’t rush over to the empty tent either. But they were afraid that you might return. Therefore, they got increasingly anxious. I am guessing that they actually wanted to use the attack on Young Lady Qingqing to distract us before making use of the opportunity to rescue the people in the tent. But as you already know, Young Lady Qingqing wasn’t in the sedan chair. Those two dying fellows were inside. How could we possibly bother about their lives and deaths…?”

The Demon Cult members were guessing Chen Luoyang, their cult master’s thoughts and felt that Ying Qingqing was much more important than Xie Xingmang and Helian Zhe. However, in the eyes of Li Tai, Eunuch Xiao, and others, rescuing Xie Xingmang and Helian Zhe meant that they would be doing a favor for the Sword Pavilion and Xiuzhe. Furthermore, Ying Qingqing whose Clear Sky Divine Sword had been crippled wasn’t important anymore.

“…” Chen Luoyang was speechless for a moment.

You are truly a goddamn genius!

He didn’t know if he should praise Zhang Tianheng loudly or to give him a slight approval.

“That Sword Pavilion’s Xie kid’s right hand had already been severed by me, but his injuries were all done by that old eunuch.” Zhang Tianheng laughed mischievously and said, “When he smashed the sedan chair on the cliff, it resulted in the death of Xiuzhe’s gigolo, while that Xie kid was lucky and still retained half his life.”

Alright, it is indeed a lucky incident, and fate is playing the enemy for a fool.

After thinking of how Eunuch Xiao was probably yelling at the scene, Chen Luoyang thought,

A misunderstanding! It is really a misunderstanding!

Chen Luoyang didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. No wonder Xiuzhe was going berserk and even wanted to kill Li Tai. Of course, once he calmed down, he would definitely put the blame on the Demon Cult. However, this thorn would be in the hearts of the Great Xia Empire, Sword Pavilion, and Xiuzhe. Even if they escaped from this place, it would be hard for them to cooperate anymore. Furthermore, in the current circumstances, it would be very difficult for them to escape.

“Cult Master, you didn’t get to see the expressions on Xiuzhe, Wen Liu, and that old eunuch. It was truly entertaining.” Zhang Tianheng laughed and said, “When we return, I will find a painter to draw the scene for you. I will guarantee that it will be vivid and lifelike.”

Chen Luoyang had an indifferent expression and didn’t express his opinion. To build one’s happiness upon another’s misery wasn’t very nice, but if it was to build it on the enemy’s misery and grief, then it was another case…

Chen Luoyang shook his head slightly to expel the miscellaneous thoughts.

“Where is Young Lady Qingqing then?” Chen Luoyang asked indifferently.
