"Tell me, where is Nangong Yueze now?" Nangong Jing narrowed his sharp eyes and asked through gritted teeth.
"He is in Yuyue Kingdom, and the man beside him is the sixth prince of Yuyue Kingdom, Bai Yunxuan." Black Eagle said in a deep voice.
"What!!" Nangong Jing frowned.
Little did he know that Nangong Yueze had actually gone to Yuyue Kingdom.
In his impression, his younger brother had never left the Nebula Empire since he was a child, so how could he have anything to do with the Feather Moon Kingdom?
It seems that I really underestimated him!
"Your Majesty Seventh, is this His Majesty Ninth in collusion with the Yuyue Kingdom in an attempt to do evil to the Nebula Empire?" Black Eagle hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly.
"Hmph, does he have what it takes?" Nangong Jing snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
"That's not necessarily the case." Black Eagle smiled lightly, "His Majesty Seventh, don't underestimate your younger brother, he is quite capable."
"Humph, no matter how capable he is, since he is still alive, I can't let him go!" Nangong Jing sneered, a murderous intent flashing across his eyes, "Gantai, tell me to go down and mobilize the troops immediately. Go to Yuyue Kingdom and capture Nangong Yueze for me!"
"Yes, Your Highness!!" Gan Tai responded immediately.
"Also, send someone to monitor Yuyue Kingdom closely. If any abnormal behavior is discovered by Nangong Yueze and Bai Yunxuan, report it to the king immediately!!" After a pause, Nangong Jing continued.
"Yes, I obey my orders." Gan Tai responded again.
Seeing Gan Tai's leaving figure, Nangong Jing's eyes showed a coldness, "Nangong Yueze, I will never let you off easily this time!"
…
On the other side, Si Qin once again woke up from his slumber.
The poison he had swallowed before was now scurrying around in his belly, making him miserable.
He didn't know where he was imprisoned or what time it was. He only knew that he had to find a way to get out of here.
But his hands were tightly entangled with iron chains, and his cultivation was sealed. There was no hope of escape except waiting for death.
what to do? what to do? ?
Si Qin roared anxiously.
He couldn't just be trapped here, let alone let Ye Futian threaten Nangong Yueze with him.
at this time--
A flash of light flashed across Si Qin's head.
His true form is the Lightning Thunder Eagle. If he can transform into his true form, he may be able to get rid of the shackles here.
But……
He was not sure exactly where this place was, and more importantly, there was a seal left by Ye Futian in his body. If he rashly changed back to his true form, he would most likely explode and die.
Thinking of this, Si Qin's face became paler.
do not care!
After all, I still have to try it! !
Thinking of this, Si Qin held his breath and began to exercise his breathing skills.
However--
After a while, along with a muffled sound, a mouthful of bright red blood suddenly spurted out from the corner of Si Qin's mouth.
His body was shaking violently as if it had suffered a great trauma.
The pain made him groan a few times.
Damn it! It failed!
Looking at the dark and cold walls around him, Si Qin gritted his teeth.
Is it possible that he is destined to die here today?
No, we can’t just give up! !
When he thought of Nangong Yueze, Si Qin forced himself to brace himself and tried again.
A moment later, with another burst of 'puff' sound, a large amount of blood spurted out from Si Qin's mouth again, and his entire face turned frighteningly pale.
This time, Si Qin completely exhausted all his strength and collapsed on the stone bed.
He stared at the dark top of his head with empty, lifeless eyes, feeling cold all over.
Your Highness, this subordinate is useless. I have failed to live up to your expectations...
My subordinate finally knows why you force your subordinates to improve their cultivation all day long. I should have listened to you long ago...
I'm sorry for you, I'm not worthy of being by your side, I'm...
Just when Si Qin was filled with regrets, Ye Futian's voice suddenly floated in, "Immortal Lord Si Qin, please stop wasting your energy. I have already set up restrictions around you. Unless there is someone who is better than me in cultivation." A taller person, otherwise, you will never be able to transform into your true form and escape. If you continue to forcefully break through the restrictions like this, your end will most likely be that your soul will be scattered."
When Si Qin heard this, he opened his eyes angrily and glared straight ahead, "Ye Futian, come out!! I'm going to fight you!!!"
"Fight? Hahaha, yes, you still have the strength to speak?" In the darkness, Ye Futian's figure slowly walked up to him.
"You, what do you want to do?!" Si Qin looked at the other party warily and asked.
"Can't you guess what I want to do?" Ye Futian smiled sinisterly, and immediately turned his eyes to the token on Si Qin's waist, "Your master has arrived at Yuyue Kingdom, I will Ask someone to hand over your token to him. Guess how he will react when he sees the token?"
"Ye Futian, you are despicable!!!" Si Qin roared angrily.
"Despicable? Haha, I have little talent and knowledge. I never know how to write the word 'despicable'." Ye Futian said with a sneer.
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and blasted a strong wind towards Si Qin.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Si Qin didn't even have a chance to say a word before he was knocked unconscious by the strong wind.
Ye Futian stepped forward, stretched out his hand to check Si Qin's breath, and made sure that he would not wake up again, then retracted his hand.
"Hmph, I will keep your life for now. After all, you are still of some use to me. After killing Nangong Yueze, I will deal with you." Ye Futian snorted coldly and pulled off the order from Si Qin's waist. card, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
…
The imperial capital of Yuyue Kingdom.
Nangong Yueze was closing his eyes and concentrating in the post house, but for some reason, he always felt an indescribable restlessness in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
As this premonition grew stronger, Nangong Yueze couldn't help but stand up and walked toward the door.
"Your Highness Yueze, where are you going?" A guard saw Nangong Yueze going out and quickly caught up to him and asked.
"I'm going out for a walk and I'll be back soon." After saying these words, Nangong Yueze was about to walk out.
Seeing this, the guard quickly stopped Nangong Yueze, bowed and said, "Your Highness Yueze, my Highness told us before leaving that we should take good care of you. In my opinion, you should not go out."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze frowned slightly and glanced sharply at the guard, "Why, do you still want to put me under house arrest?"
"You guys don't dare, it's just..." The guard looked at Nangong Yueze with a troubled expression, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Nangong Yueze's eyes suddenly darkened, and after a moment of pause, he suppressed the impatience in his heart and continued: "I don't have to go out, but you must tell me, where is Princess Jinghan now?"
When he came to Yueyu Country this time, in addition to worrying about Si Qin, he was also worried about Bai Jinghan.
Ever since Bai Mu destroyed his soul in the blood sea barrier, he told himself that no matter what, he would protect his daughter for Bai Mu.
Hearing Nangong Yueze's question, the guard hesitated, "Princess, she...she has been staying in her palace for the past two days and only comes out during three meals a day."
"Come out during three meals a day?" Nangong Yueze was stunned for a moment, "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know about this little one. I heard that she carries a food box every time she goes out, as if she wants to see someone, and she never allows anyone to follow her." The guard replied truthfully.
"Food box?" Nangong Yueze frowned and whispered.
Who is she delivering food to?
Could it be...
Thinking of some possibility, Nangong Yueze's pupils shrank suddenly and he immediately said: "Can you take me to Princess Jinghan's palace?"
"Young one..." The guard was about to refuse, but Nangong Yueze suddenly threw him a money bag, "Here are five hundred gold leaves, which is enough for your salary for more than ten years. Lead the way."
The guard picked up the money bag, his eyes full of surprise and greed, "Thank you, Your Highness Yueze, I will take you there."
Nangong Yueze didn't say anything, raised her feet and walked out behind him.
…
The two entered from the west gate of the imperial city and walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving in front of a gorgeous palace.
"Your Highness Yueze, this is Princess Jinghan's bedroom. It's almost lunch time, and the princess should come out soon." The guard pointed at the palace door and said respectfully.
Nangong Yueze nodded indifferently, "I understand, you go down, I'll wait for her here."
"Yes." The guard bowed his head respectfully and stepped back.
Not long after, Bai Jinghan, wearing a long white dress, walked out of the hall door. She carried a food box and walked straight towards the east side of the hall.
Perhaps because he was too focused, Bai Jinghan didn't even notice Nangong Yueze standing outside the palace door.
Seeing Bai Jinghan leaving towards another road, Nangong Yueze's eyes flashed with a dark light, and then he moved his legs without hesitation and followed her in the direction she left.
After half a stick of incense, Bai Jinghan came to a hidden stone room. The entrance to the stone room was located in the rockery. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find its existence.
There were four guards standing outside the stone door, dressed neatly and holding weapons. Bai Jinghan carried the food box, nodded to the four of them, opened the stone door and walked in.
Nangong Yueze wanted to see clearly what was going on inside the stone door, but the stone door was quickly closed by the guard at the door. He paused and did not rush in. Instead, he quietly hid behind a nearby tree.
Who is locked up inside?
Why did Bai Jinghan send the food here?
If she was here, where would Si Qin go?
Countless questions lingered in Nangong Yueze's mind, but there was no answer.
At this moment, Bai Jinghan's voice suddenly came from the stone room, "Master Si Qin, what's wrong with you?!"
Si Qin? ?
Hearing those words, Nangong Yueze was stunned.
The person locked up in the stone chamber turned out to be Si Qin!
I searched for him for a day, and it turned out that he was imprisoned here! !
Without any time to think, after confirming that the four guards at the door were not from the demon world, Nangong Yueze stepped forward directly and eliminated the four guards in a few or two moves.
The next second, he pushed open the stone door.
Inside was a long corridor that stretched into the dark abyss. Nangong Yueze ran forward quickly along the corridor without hesitation.
Soon, he saw two people deep in the stone room, one was Bai Jinghan, and the other was Si Qin, who was soaked in blood and dying.
Seeing this scene, Nangong Yueze's heart suddenly tightened.
"Who are you?" Bai Jinghan was obviously startled by Nangong Yueze who suddenly broke in.
Nangong Yueze had no time to take care of her and rushed straight to Si Qin. While checking his injuries, he called out urgently: "Si Qin, wake up, Si Qin..."
