Without a second thought, Qiu Yunce rushed into the magic array.

"Yun Ce, no..."

"ah……"

With a scream, Qiu Yunce was struck by several arrows. Li Mufeng desperately swung his sword to block the flying arrows for "Blood Purple Rose".

However, he himself was injured, and with so many arrows raining down on him, Li Mufeng quickly became exhausted and was hit by several arrows in his legs and body.

"Young master, how are you?"

Of the three people inside the magic circle, two were injured. "Blood Purple Star" was at a loss, not knowing who to save first. With arrows raining down like cattle, it was difficult to save even herself, let alone save others.

"Imperial Advisor, the young master is injured! Please, please stop!"

Outside the magic circle, Mu Chun knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.

"He brought it on himself. Who told him to jump in like that? He deserved it."

The Imperial Advisor Qiu Tianxiang was utterly ruthless; Mu Chun kowtowed again.

"Even if the Imperial Advisor doesn't care about the young master, there's still Miss Luo Yun. She is the key to opening the altar. If she dies, how can the Imperial Advisor open the altar? Please reconsider, Imperial Advisor."

"You don't need to worry about that. To open the altar, what's needed is her blood, not a person."

My teacher originally thought she was quite pretty and wanted to keep her for his own enjoyment, but she was no pushover. So there was no need to keep her.

After she dies, she can be turned into a puppet. Perhaps she can even be used by this national teacher, hahaha…”

Qiu Tianxiang laughed arrogantly, then flipped his fingers and chanted incantations, adding another magic array. At this moment, everyone could only see the sword and could not see the person in the array at all.

Inside the magic circle, Li Mufeng smiled bitterly.

"I never imagined that my illustrious reputation would end up dying alongside a gigolo. It's truly infuriating."

"Bah! Luo Yun is mine, don't even think about taking her from me. Even if I die, I will never allow you to die with her."

Qiu Yunce gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet.

"Hey you two, what time is it? Can you stop arguing and hurry up and figure out a way to break through the encirclement, or we'll all die here."

Seeing the two still bickering at this moment, "Blood Purple Rose" frowned unhappily.

"Don't...don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Qiu Yunce spoke haltingly, then pulled an arrow from his body, and with all his might, slammed it into the ground, muttering incantations as he did so.

Heaven and Earth, with their divine might, vanquished the evil thief.

With the six elements supporting each other, Heaven praises their virtue.

I believe that whatever I do will be invincible.

With a flick of his wrists outwards, a massive protective shield was formed.

"this……"

"Blood Purple Rose" and Li Mufeng were extremely surprised.

"Luo...Luo Yun, you...you listen to me, now...now apologize to Father. Only by living can one have hope. We can't defeat him."

"I'm weak right now and can't hold on much longer. If you just admit your mistake, neither of us will be in trouble. But if you continue to be stubborn, we'll both die."

Due to the exertion of too much physical strength and his injuries, Qiu Yunce spoke intermittently.

"But he..."

She glanced back at Li Mufeng, feeling a pang of reluctance.

"Chu Yunmo is right. Don't worry about me. Apologize to that evil Taoist priest and go out with him! It's better than the three of us dying here together."

Li Mufeng gazed at "Blood Purple Rose" with deep affection, offering the same words of advice.

To see her again in this life is enough!

If you have the chance to return to "Purple Cloud Kingdom", remember to visit Chen'er. He misses you very much.

Li Mufeng spoke as if he were making his final arrangements, creating a somber atmosphere.

"Chen'er, but who is Chen'er?"

"Blood Purple Rose" once again showed a confused expression.

"Chen'er is my adopted son, and also your godson."

Li Mufeng's eyes were clear, while "Blood Purple Rose" frowned.

"You're not going to tell me you're my husband, are you?"

Adopted son? Godson? They sound like family.

"No, he's not, Luo Yun. Don't listen to his nonsense. You're already divorced. You're my fiancée now."

Qiu Yunce interrupted the two men sharply, followed by a scream. Qiu Yunce knelt on one knee and let out a painful wail.

"Yun Ce, what's wrong?"

"Blood Purple Rose" looked worried.

"I can't take it anymore, quick, apologize."

Qiu Yunce felt like his hand was about to break, and hurriedly urged him on.

"Ziwei, quickly, apologize."

In order to save "Blood Purple Rose" from death, Li Mufeng hurriedly said.

"You evil Taoist, no, Imperial Preceptor, I was wrong, please let me go! Yun Ce is dying, he is your son, you can't be so heartless."

Under the pleas of the two, "Blood Purple Rose" reluctantly yielded to Qiu Tianxiang outside.

"What? You're giving in now? Do you know where you went wrong?"

Qiu Tianxiang's voice was shrill and unpleasant, and "Blood Purple Rose" suppressed her pride.

“I shouldn’t have insulted you, and I shouldn’t have plotted to get your four sons into having syphilis. I can treat them, I can cure them, as long as you can let us go.”

"Would you be willing to accompany me? To cripple your martial arts skills and stay by my side, providing me with pleasure?"

Qiu Tianxiang, standing outside the formation, spoke shamelessly.

"I don't……"

Before Qiu Yunce could finish uttering the first two words, "Blood Purple Rose," he interrupted her.

"She's willing, as long as you release us."

"Yun Ce, what are you saying? I am your fiancée. Don't you find it disgusting that your father said such things?"

"Blood Purple Rose" shook her head in disappointment.

All I want is for you to live a good life.

A tear slid down Qiu Yunce's cheek. He had made many compromises since childhood, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

"No, I would rather die than be a plaything of this evil Taoist."

"Haha... Chu Yunmo, I really feel sorry for you. You forcibly imprisoned Ziwei by your side, but you don't understand her at all."

Do you realize how humiliating your words were to Ziwei?

After Li Mufeng finished speaking, he took "Blood Purple Rose's" hand.

"Let's fight our way out together, even if we die, we'll take that evil Taoist priest with us."

"good."

Perhaps it was seeing the affectionate scene between "Blood Purple Rose" and Li Mufeng that provoked Qiu Yunce.

It could also be due to genuine exhaustion; in any case, Qiu Yunce suddenly vomited blood and then collapsed backward.

"Yun Ce..."

"Blood Purple Rose" let out a heart-wrenching scream, then the protective shield disappeared, and countless arrows flew towards them. "Blood Purple Rose" could only use her body to protect Qiu Yun Ce.

“Ziwei…”

Seeing this, Li Mufeng stood behind "Xue Ziwei" without thinking. Since she was going to die anyway, he would let himself take more damage for her!

Outside the magic circle, everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear witnessing this horrific scene.

"Young Master..."

Ruxuan let out a heart-wrenching scream and then fainted.

He regretted reporting "Blood Purple Star" to the Imperial Advisor Qiu Tianxiang, which indirectly led to the death of Prince Qiu Yunce.

"Ruxuan..."

Mu Chun quickly helped her up, and was also in great pain.

"Who am I? Luo Yun? Or Ziwei?"

"Blood Purple Rose" was filled with resentment. Was she really going to die here today? Who exactly was she?

Just when everyone thought that "Blood Purple Rose" and the others were doomed, a blinding white light suddenly appeared within the magic array...

"What...what is this?"

Qiu Tianxiang was shocked and bewildered. Even Zhao Hu and the others stopped fighting and surrounded the magic array...
