Chapter 34: Emerging

"Lord Mo, you are so cruel that you even abandoned your own daughter. You have deceived all of us."

"What do you mean? What do you mean my father treats me as an abandoned child?" Mo Ruyan's expression changed drastically and she shouted anxiously.

Maybe she didn't realize it, or maybe she already realized it but was afraid to admit it in her heart.

However, Lai Yang showed no expression when he heard this, thinking that as expected, he had actually guessed it a long time ago.

But he didn't want to make it clear to Mo Ruyan, for fear that it would upset her and cause more trouble in this pessimistic situation.

"Don't you understand? Lord Mo used you as bait and arranged silver armor soldiers to protect you. He even had a martial arts master to protect you. His purpose was to lure us into a trap and divert some of the attention to you, so that he could escape from under our noses more easily. He didn't even trust you to complete his mission. Even the tiger talisman and silver armor order he gave you were fake."

"All of us have been fooled by your father, that cunning fox. He pretended to be someone who values ​​family affection very much, but it was all a false appearance for us to prevent us from suspecting that he might use you as bait. He used you and two or three other masters to hold back a great master like me and part of the power of the court. This is really a deep calculation. Even His Majesty was tricked by your father."

Wan Yunxiang looked at Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang with a gloomy expression.

"I'm sorry, you can't leave. You have to come back with me to the prison of the Imperial Guards and wait for your majesty's order to capture them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two forbidden martial arts guards rushed towards Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang without hesitation, attempting to subdue and tie them up.

At the same time, after enduring for so long, Lai Yang finally showed his fangs.

He drew his sword, and the sharp sword light swept across like a bright moon, and the sword energy swept out and cut off everything.

The two forbidden weapon guards' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly changed their offense and defense, holding their weapons in front of their chests to block.

Seeing this, Wan Yunxiang narrowed his eyes and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.

The sword energy is radiating outward. This kid is so young, but he is actually a martial arts master.

Wan Yunxiang took action instantly without any hesitation.

He saved two forbidden martial arts guards who were nearly killed by the sword energy, and a terrifying aura burst out from his body and blasted towards Lai Yang.

Lai Yang's expression remained unchanged. He placed his right palm on the hilt of the sword, and the sword light came out of his body, slashing several times in one breath.

Seven or eight sword energies, like a strong wind, slashed towards Wan Yunxiang's internal energy at the same time with astonishing power.

The moment the two forces intertwined and collided, there was an explosion, and the powerful energy aftermath swept across, raising a cloud of dust.

Wan Yunxiang was forced back dozens of meters by the residual force of the explosion and was terrified.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the figures of Mo Ruyan and Lai Yang had disappeared.

He didn't expect that Lai Yang, who was poisoned, dared to escape with Mo Ruyan.

What he didn't expect the most was that the opponent's strength was hidden so deeply, and the power caused by the previous attack could actually force him back.

If they were allowed to escape, with his talent he would become a huge threat to them in the future.

"Chase!"

"Yes, sir."

Lai Yang held Mo Ruyan in a princess-like posture and moved back and forth between the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed, leaving a trail of afterimages like lightning.

Mo Ruyan nervously hugged his neck tightly, her face full of surprise and amazement.

When did he become so strong that he could even force Wan Yunxiang to retreat? You know, in her impression, Wan Yunxiang is a top master at the grandmaster level.

She had hardly ever seen the other person being humiliated.

"Liu Yang, you..."

"Hush, we can talk after we are safe. Now it is more important to concentrate on escaping. I am not 100% sure that I can defeat him, so I can only take you away first."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyan immediately covered her mouth obediently, fearing that it would affect Lai Yang.

Lai Yang held Mo Ruyan and sprinted at full speed towards Beijiang City. He could sense Wan Yunxiang's presence chasing him closely from behind.

Lai Yang frowned and cursed in his heart:

"This old Deng is so annoying."

"If I didn't have someone on my side, I would definitely turn around and beat you up."

"If you could give me a little more time, I would just step on you and rub you on the ground, damn thing."

"Stop! Even if you can run away, no one can cure the Heart-Erosion Pill in your body. Let go of Mo Ruyan and surrender to me, then you still have a chance to live." Wan Yunxiang's loud voice sounded from behind.

Lai Yang was disdainful in his heart. What kind of rubbish poison pill is this? Do you think it can poison me? By the time it takes effect, it will have turned into fart.

If you still want to sway me at this point, I’ll see how long you can pursue me.

Lai Yang exerted force again, and his speed attribute of more than 400 points made him seem like the wind was blowing under his feet. Coupled with his strong physique far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists, under normal circumstances, he would not feel tired even if he ran for three days and three nights while holding Mo Ruyan.

Although Lord Mo had deceived them, he would definitely not sit idly by as long as they could return to Beijiang City alive.

No matter what, Mo Ruyan is his daughter.

If Lord Mo really wants to rebel, the reputation of being righteous is of vital importance to him.

Even if he had indeed abandoned Mo Ruyan, as long as they went back, he had to save her.

Otherwise, once this matter gets out, it will definitely greatly damage his reputation as King Tongwu in the world.

It is impossible for a smart man like him not to know the truth that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters.

Moreover, he really had no better place to go with Mo Ruyan, so he could only run towards Beijiang City.

Wan Yunxiang looked at Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan's backs getting farther and farther away, his expression was extremely ugly, and he said with a dark face: "Damn, this damn kid is born in the Year of the Rabbit, holding such a big person in his arms, and moving so fast? I'll see how you die when the Heart-Erosion Pill takes effect."

Wan Yunxiang understood that with Lai Yang around, it would be impossible for them to catch up with them, so he immediately took his men back to the imperial city to report.

Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan ran for half an hour, and there was no trace of Wan Yunxiang and others behind them.

He didn't dare to let his guard down. He planned to take Mo Ruyan back to Beijiang City as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, once others react and build fortifications, it will be difficult to break through the encirclement.

Mo Ruyan's frail body could not withstand the wind pressure caused by Lai Yang's high-intensity running, and she was being protected by Lai Yang's internal energy, so her strength was consumed very rapidly.

Half a day later, Lai Yang's face looked a little pale, and he had to stop temporarily to rest and meditate to regulate his breathing.

When Mo Ruyan saw Lai Yang's pale face, sweating profusely and trying his best to protect her, she felt both moved and guilty.

"Liu Yang, are you okay? If it really doesn't work, just leave me alone and run away. They won't kill me."

"It's okay, just let me rest for a while. The carriage is gone, and we can only rely on our own two feet for the rest of the journey."

Mo Ruyan wanted to take out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe Lai Yang's sweat, but unexpectedly found that the handkerchief was lost at some point.

After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed his sleeve and slowly raised her hand to wipe the sweat off the other person's cheek, her beautiful eyes filled with heartache.

Lai Yang opened his eyes and looked at Mo Ruyan strangely: "What are you doing?"

"Wipe your sweat." Mo Ruyan said as a matter of course.

"Is it appropriate for you, a princess, to wipe my sweat with your sleeves?"

"What's inappropriate about that? You saved my life, twice."

"Need not."

"Don't worry about me. I'll wipe it if I want to."

Lai Yang didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he said helplessly, "Forget it, whatever you want."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Lai Yang simply closed his eyes again and concentrated on practicing martial arts to regulate his breath, blood, and internal strength.
