Chapter 177 The wound is broken

Xuan Lin looked down at Shen Yu from above. The light cast a shadow that covered most of Shen Yu's body.

"Catch him." Xuan Lin stared at Shen Yu's face for a long while. His voice was flat and there was no ups and downs in it. "Take him back."

The blade of the secret guard was pressed against both sides of Shen Yu's neck. Shen Yu did not struggle, he stood up by himself, looking straight at Xuan Lin's shoulder.

The body of the coal ball was the same as before, and the data on it rolled rapidly. After Shen Yu was captured, it also quickly retracted the black lines that were entangled on Shen Yu's chest and limbs.

Shen Yu staggered a step and was escorted by the guards towards Kunning Palace. On the way, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Mu Yuyi standing in a shadowy corner.

Mu Yuyi seemed to have just rushed over, his black hair was disheveled behind him, and the mask on his face had long disappeared, completely exposing the angular pale face underneath.

He looked in the direction of Shen Yu, and stood still with his body frozen.

Shen Yu slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and was escorted by the secret guards towards the direction of Kunning Palace.

The Kunning Palace was unusually deserted. The palace maids and eunuchs who were monitoring the palace seemed to have evaporated into the air in an instant. In the entire Kunning Palace, only the candles in the inner hall were burning, casting shadows on the windows.

Shen Yu walked in. There were still a few cut ropes on the armchair in the inner hall. Some bloodstains were dotted on the armrests of the chair. Only the gold-inlaid phoenix hairpin was still thrown on the corner of the table.

Shen Yu stood alone in the middle, his pupils scanning the inner hall.

Soon after, the sound of the secret guard closing the door rang out behind him. After a period of dead silence, Shen Yu heard the sound of light footsteps. Shen Yu's eyes were cold, and he immediately showed a mocking smile on his face when he heard the sound.

"Shuyu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot." Xuan Lin stood behind Shen Yu. He stepped on the hemp rope on the ground and stared at Shen Yu's back. "Everyone says you are a medical genius. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a little bit."

A disfigured face, broken veins, exhausted internal strength, and a sealed palace.

Xuan Lin has locked Wen Yu here for these years. He has cut off all external support for Wen Yu. Unexpectedly, Wen Yu still has the means to recover on her own.

And... tried to escape right under his nose.

All the hidden weapons in Shen Yu's hands were taken away. He seemed not to have heard Xuan Lin's words and glanced at him sideways: "So?"

"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you let those people from Chengyuan Mountain go?" Xuan Lin raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I want to deal with you, and I have many ways to do it."

Shen Yu raised his eyelids and saw Xuan Lin pointing at his limbs in the air: "I can sever the tendons in your hands and feet, cut off your tongue, and then tie you to the bedpost with the thick rope you used to tie Li Yongquan, and feed you water and food every day. Do you think you can still die?"

Shen Yu sneered inexplicably when he heard this: "Your Majesty, it seems that you really don't want me to die."

"Of course. Juyu, you have to understand that in my eyes, none of the millions of people in the Yue Kingdom is as important as you." Xuan Lin said, and took a few steps towards the direction where Shen Yu was.

He had found this face stunning when he first saw it, but then half of it was destroyed and it suddenly lost its spirit. Now Wen Yu had restored his face, and although there were some slight changes, it looked the same as it did at the beginning.

Even colder and more seductive than before.

"Don't hate me anymore." Shen Yu grabbed the hairpin on the table with one hand. He frowned and said with undisguised disgust, "Get lost."

Xuan Lin had noticed Shen Yu's movements as soon as he approached. Shen Yu's internal strength has now recovered by more than half, so it would be difficult for him to confront him head-on.

"You are my queen, do you understand what I mean?" Xuan Lin's tone was a little cold, "I have given you so much honor, making you above ten thousand people! What else are you dissatisfied with? Go and ask if there is anyone in Chengyuan Mountain who can give you as much as I do!"

"Honor...above ten thousand people...haha..." Shen Yu murmured twice and suddenly found it funny.

He clenched the phoenix hairpin in his palm, squeezing it so hard that he almost broke the entire hairpin: "Who cares about you, the queen? Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am! Don't talk about giving me honor. Did you ever think about these when you drank my blood?"

"You are being too ignorant!" Xuan Lin was furious. He always had a bad temper and now he was showing his ferocious side. "With what you did today, do you think I will let you off? Ah? Don't even think about it!"

As he spoke, he gestured to Meiqiu and walked quickly towards Shen Yu.

Shen Yu's eyes darkened, and murderous intent surged in his heart. He had already grasped the Feng Hairpin in his palm. He stared at Xuan Lin, and when Xuan Lin approached, he stretched out his hand to grab his neck.

Xuan Lin did not move. He sneered, and the energy in the coal ball suddenly exploded. Countless black lines condensed and formed from his body, and in just a few seconds they entangled and suppressed Shen Yu's figure.

Shen Yu had no time to retreat. His body and limbs were tingling with pain, and his expression was wrinkled and a bit vicious: "Xuan Lin!"

Xuan Lin touched Shen Yu's collar, lowered his eyes to look at Shen Yu, and said, "You are my queen, and it is your duty to serve the emperor. I have ignored you for the past two years, you should know how to reflect... or do you want to scratch your face again? Ah?"

"If that's the case, I might let you go..." Xuan Lin pulled his lips, and as he spoke, he pinched Shen Yu's neck tightly.

Black lines were entangled around Shen Yu's body, and the anger in his heart rushed to the peak. Finally, he faced the pain and stabbed Xuan Lin's cheek with the phoenix hairpin in his hand.

Xuan Lin was not afraid at all. The system energy in Meiqiu's body was far beyond the ability of ordinary people to destroy. Shen Yu was just struggling desperately.

“Crack—”

After a sound similar to a cracking sound, the black thread wrapped around Shen Yu suddenly broke. A fierce flash passed through Shen Yu's eyes, and he used his arm to force the phoenix nail into Xuan Lin's skin and flesh all the way down.

"Ahhh!" Xuan Lin screamed suddenly. He took two steps back and used the power of the black line of the coal ball to throw Shen Yu to the side.

Shen Yu bumped into the wall behind him. A bloody taste rose in his throat, and then he swallowed it all with an expressionless face.

"Kill him..." Xuan Lin covered the right half of his face. Large amounts of blood flowed out from the gaps between the five fingers of his right hand. The skin and flesh were turned over, and the wounds were deep inside.

The guards outside the door rushed into the inner hall upon hearing the noise. Xuan Lin's eyes were bloodshot. He pointed at Shen Yu with a trembling arm and shouted, "Kill him! Kill this bastard!"

Shen Yu pressed against the wall behind him, drops of blood dripping from the surface of the phoenix hairpin in his hand. He looked at Xuan Lin and laughed softly.
