He vaguely saw several upright figures on the opposite side of him. Without hesitation, he walked straight towards them. As the distance between them grew closer, those figures suddenly turned around and came into view, revealing clear and familiar faces.

The tall, imposing man in a magnificent robe standing before him was none other than Mu Feiyu, while the others were his personal guards.

What surprised him even more at this moment was that the two women, bound hand and foot and trapped on the edge of the cliff, were Feng Jin and Su Ruan.

In particular, Su Ruan's kidnapping was completely unexpected. At first, he was only focused on rescuing Feng Jin, but this sudden situation has left him somewhat unsettled.

Not long ago, when Feng Jin was caught by Mu Beichen's spies, Su Ruan was spying on the side and was also caught on the spot by these people. The reason is not hard to guess. The reason why Mu Feiyu took such extreme actions was simply because he resented Mu Beichen for wiping out the entire Qian Yuan Palace and personally cutting off his source of income. For him, it was like losing a limb.

Mu Beichen stared at Feng Jin, who lay on the ground, her face haggard, for a long time. His expression became complicated. Before he could say anything, Su Ruan suddenly struggled and cried out to him, "Your Highness! Save me... please save me!"

He frowned slightly, his heart filled with panic. He stared directly at Mu Feiyu and growled, "Tell me, what do you want from me to release them?"

"What's the rush?" Mu Feiyu met his gaze, glanced at him with a cunning look, and smiled casually: "I haven't had enough fun yet!"

A chilling wind swept through the distant jungle, swaying and tumbling some withered branches and leaves. It seemed to be a roar coming from the other end of the mountain, accompanied by a murderous aura that shook the mountains and forests. It crossed the vast sea of ​​clouds and reached the ears of the few people standing on the mountain peak.

As Mu Feiyu turned around and strolled towards Feng Jin and Su Ruan, Mu Beichen's sharp gaze fixed on him. He clenched his fists, seemingly ready to fight her one-on-one. He glanced at the guards gathered around Feng Jin and Su Ruan and unconsciously stopped in his tracks.

If I were to rush over there rashly, one of them would surely be the first to lose their life.

Calm down... Mu Beichen, at this crucial moment, you must not lose your composure!

His gaze followed Mu Feiyu, who used a dagger to lift Feng Jin's chin with great interest. A flash of cold light swiftly passed down her neck, and his heart trembled violently. He immediately cried out, "Stop!"

Feng Jin looked at Mu Beichen with indifferent eyes and a blank expression, as if she was prepared to die at any moment. If she was destined to die here today, she could only say that it was her fate and accept her destiny.

But... at this moment, she didn't want Mu Beichen to suffer any mishap because of her. She had said so many heartless things before, swearing never to turn back, but now, thinking about the impending separation from him, her heart ached.

Mu Beichen paused for a moment, then added, "Here's the military tally for commanding the three armies. Release them!" With that, he tossed the tally from his palm.

"Who cares about this useless piece of scrap metal!" Mu Feiyu caught Mu Beichen's military token in his palm, then threw it on the ground without hesitation. His face was icy cold, but a smile played on his lips. "Eat this, and then... cut off your own arm, and I'll consider letting you take one with you!"
