"Tsk, tsk."

Fatty, despite his amiable appearance, didn't have a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"We meet again, miss!"

"Liu Ying!"

Gu Han's gaze was icy.

"I gave you a chance!"

"All that happened before, I wouldn't have held it against you. But you shouldn't have... laid a hand on Brother Jiang! That... is my bottom line!"

With each word he spoke,

The murderous intent emanating from him grew thicker.

Despite his severely depleted cultivation level and his utterly ruined physical body, the intensity of his killing intent was enough to send chills down Fatty's spine.

And Liu Ying... was faring even worse.

Confronted with the killing intent,

Her body stiffened, unable to move even a finger, let alone muster her cultivation.

"Gu... Gu Han!"

Her voice trembled even more violently.

"I... I didn't kill him!"

"What did you say?"

Gu Han's movements paused, and the murderous intent in his eyes receded slightly.

"Really!"

Liu Ying gasped for air.

"I let him go, and moreover..."

She seized the opportunity to explain hurriedly.

Hiss!

Just like with Jiang Feng,

Fatty inhaled sharply at her words.

"This Young Master Liu..."

He looked on with a face full of emotion.

"He truly is the world's most infatuated man! To die at the hands of the woman he loves most, that must be the best ending for him!"

"I don't believe it!"

Gu Han didn't bother with Fatty's nonsense.

"Liu Ying, no one knows you better than I do. I don't believe a word you say!"

"So..."

Liu Ying's eyes dimmed.

"In your heart, I am such a selfish, sinister, and venomous person!"

"What?"

Gu Han retorted.

"Aren't you?"

"Tsk, tsk."

Fatty sensed something fishy.

"You two... have a special relationship?"

"I've known him since..."

Liu Ying bit her lip.

"We've known each other since childhood."

"Wow!"

Fatty's face was exaggerated.

"Childhood sweethearts? Turned enemies? A love-hate relationship? This is so melodramatic, too melodramatic!"

"Shut up, Fatty!"

Gu Han nearly cleaved him with his sword.

"Shut up!"

"Gu Han."

Liu Ying took a deep breath.

"If you let me go, I... can tell you something vital to your survival!"

"Speak!"

Before Gu Han could say anything, Fatty was already on edge.

Anything related to life and death naturally concerned him greatly.

"If you hide anything, I will squash you!"

"..."

Liu Ying was clearly intimidated.

"The ones coming to kill you aren't just Yu Hua and his men..."

"There's someone else?"

Gu Han's eyes narrowed.

"Who is it!"

"I'm not sure."

Liu Ying shook her head.

"That person seems to be someone Instructor Yu contacted secretly. Moreover, the Crown Prince said that with him involved, the assassination is guaranteed to succeed. But with the three deputy heads here, he dares not show himself. Once they leave, that person... will rush over from the Capital to ensure... to ensure there are no mistakes."

"Tian Heng!"

Gu Han and Fatty exclaimed in unison!

***

At this moment,

Tian Heng stood silently beside the corpses of Yu Hua and his men, his expression dark and silent.

As expected!

Something went wrong!

And the Crown Prince was nowhere to be seen!

Who did this!

One by one, figures flashed through his mind, only to be dismissed one after another.

Could it be...

He seemed to have thought of something, his heart skipping a beat.

No!

Impossible!

He immediately dismissed the thought.

How could two low-level cultivators at the Meridian Unblocking Realm possibly kill three cultivators at the Spirit Profound Realm working together?

It simply couldn't be!

"Roar!"

Just then,

Several frenzied Demonic Beasts burst out from the dense forest, roaring as they charged at Tian Heng!

Boom!

With a casual palm strike, he turned all the beasts into a mist of blood!

"Good!"

Since he couldn't figure it out,

He decided not to dwell on it.

"It seems I must take action myself. Since that's the case, I'll personally put an end to you!"

As he spoke,

He vanished without a trace.

"Sigh..."

Not long after he left,

A slightly plump figure also arrived at the scene.

It was Jiang Xuan!

"How many years has it been."

He scoffed disdainfully.

"Still the same old nasty character. Why not learn from Murong Chuan? Oh well, out of sight, out of mind. Now that I have another chance... I'll give it another try! This time, I must succeed no matter what!"

As his voice faded,

He too disappeared from sight.

***

Inside the cave.

"It's him!"

Fatty was utterly convinced.

"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who would hate you this much! What were you thinking... offending so many powerful people? I here had no beef with him, and now I'm dragged into your mess!"

"Dragged into it?"

Gu Han scoffed.

"Fatty, I don't recall asking you to follow me. If you had stayed far away, what would it have to do with you?"

"..."

Fatty was left speechless, resolving in his heart.

If by some fluke he survived this ordeal, he would never see this bastard again for the rest of his life!

"Gu Han."

Liu Ying spoke again.

"You say you understand me, but don't I understand you just as well? If you don't believe me, then... kill me! When you meet the Seventh Prince later, you... will definitely regret it!"

"..."

Gu Han remained silent.

He actually believed most of what Liu Ying said, but to be cautious, he still wanted to verify it one last time.

With that thought,

He slowly lowered his sword and continued to approach Liu Ying.

"You..."

Liu Ying panicked a bit.

"What are you going to do!"

"No way!"

Fatty's eyes widened.

"Brother Gu, in broad daylight, with Demonic Beasts rampaging, you... you still have the mood for such beastly behavior?"

Gu Han ignored him.

"Liu Ying."

At this moment, he was very close to Liu Ying.

Close enough to clearly catch the panic and... shyness in her eyes.

"Lift your head."

His voice was unwavering, deep.

"Look at me!"

Liu Ying instinctively lifted her head to meet Gu Han's eyes, and the profound, mysterious light within them.

In an instant,

Her body stiffened, and her gaze became vacant.

"Tsk, tsk."

Fatty couldn't bear to watch.

"Who would have thought, Brother Gu, you actually enjoy this sort of thing. You're worse than a beast... Ouch!"

Swish!

Gu Han struck him with a backhanded sword.

He couldn't take it anymore!

"Just now,"

Regaining his composure, he continued to press for answers.

"The things you said, were they true?"

"Yes."

Liu Ying replied mechanically.

"Brother Jiang?"

"I let him go."

Phew...

Getting the answer, Gu Han let out a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.

"It seems."

Aside,

Fatty also showed a look of joy.

"Brother Jiang really is lucky. But..."

He glanced at Gu Han and leaned in closer, "Ahem, Miss Liu, tell Fatty the truth... do you like my Brother Gu?"

Liu Ying's eyes showed struggle.

"I..."

Gu Han, expressionless, immediately released the Soul Capturing Technique.

"Sigh!"

Fatty looked disappointed.

"So close."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ying was clearly confused.

"Leave."

Gu Han stepped back a few paces, leaning against the cave wall with a relaxed tone, "I believe you."

But,

Liu Ying shook her head.

"I won't leave."

"What?"

Gu Han's face was full of scorn.

"You want me to protect you? You've miscalculated!"

"I can't either!"

Fatty pointed at Gu Han.

"You see, I here already have one burden."

"I don't need you guys!"

Liu Ying was somewhat angry but dared not lash out.

"This cave is very safe. I've been here for half an hour, and... not a single Demonic Beast has discovered this place."

Hmm?

Hearing her say this,

The two also realized something was amiss.

At this moment,

The roars of Demonic Beasts outside were incessant.

But inside the cave...

It was utterly quiet, as if in a different world.

Logically, with so many beasts passing by, this cave, though somewhat hidden, couldn't guarantee it wouldn't be discovered by them, and half an hour...

"This cave..."

The two exchanged a look, their expressions grave.

"There's something strange!"

"Giggle, giggle..."

Just then,

A sweet, soft, and seductive laugh suddenly reached their ears.

"Who's there!"

Gu Han and Fatty's scalps tingled.

The cave was only so big... you could see the end at a glance, where did the voice come from?

"Giggle, giggle..."

"Come quickly..."

"I'm waiting for you up ahead..."

"..."

The voice seemed to carry a certain magic, compelling one to heed her words.

Liu Ying was the first to be ensnared.

Her expression vacant, she stumbled towards the cave entrance.

"Not... right!"

"This... what is this thing!"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Gu Han and Fatty, with their strong Soul Force, were still struggling to resist.

"You two... come too..."

"Sister is waiting for you, hee hee hee..."

In an instant,

The two could no longer resist, their bodies stiffened, and like puppets on strings, they followed Liu Ying out of the cave.
