"Sixth Young Master, have you thought this through? Trading an insignificant person for Madam's life, no matter how you look at it, you're the one who's profiting, aren't you?"
Chu Xing was aggressive, but Chu Yunmo casually stroked the sword in her hand.
"How many people did Father send you with him? Governing such a vast 'Purple Cloud Kingdom' requires more than enough people. How about we let Mu Chun stay and assist you?"
"Young Master doesn't want Muchun anymore? Muchun was yours in life, and in death..."
Mu Chun thought Chu Yunmo was going to abandon her, and hurriedly stated her position, but seeing Chu Yunmo's cold eyes, she immediately stopped talking.
"It seems that the young master has other plans, and I have been worrying too much."
"No need. After the Sixth Young Master kills Li Mufeng, I will be able to take his place. I don't think there will be any danger."
As for how many people he brought, that's none of Sixth Young Master's concern.
Chu Xing wouldn't use Chu Yunmo's people. He wasn't stupid; he knew that Chu Yunmo had always disliked him.
"Too."
Chu Yunmo nodded, then curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"I heard that Lord Chu has mastered almost all of my father's martial arts techniques. He is truly a genius with extraordinary abilities."
Not only is his martial arts skill exceptional, but he's also adept at creating illusions. Once set up, these illusions are as formidable as city walls; those outside can neither see nor hear them. Is this true?
Chu Yunmo circled around Chu Xing, praising him to the skies.
"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching. Excellent teaching, haha..."
Chu Xing was smug after being praised by Chu Yunmo, while Mu Chun snorted coldly.
"A petty person gains power."
"Back in Qingyu Kingdom, my heart and lungs were injured by my father's formation, and my internal strength has not recovered to this day. Li Mufeng's martial arts are highly skilled, and I am afraid I am no match for him. To kill him, I may need Lord Chu's assistance."
Chu Yunmo continued.
Chu Xing didn't speak, but launched a fierce attack on Chu Yunmo.
"How dare you, Chu Xing, lay a hand on the Sixth Young Master! Don't you want your head?"
Seeing that Chu Xing had murderous intent towards Chu Yunmo, Mu Chun hurriedly drew his sword, but Chu Yunmo stopped him.
"ah……"
With a scream, Chu Yunmo was slapped away by Chu Xing and coughed up blood.
"Young Master..."
Mu Chun exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to help Chu Yunmo up, but Chu Xing pushed him away and then grabbed his wrist with a hand as sharp as an eagle's claw.
"You actually have internal injuries."
Chu Xing initially thought Chu Yunmo was faking it, but he didn't expect her to be genuine, so he spoke up.
"There's a cliff ahead; lure Li Mufeng here."
At the city gate, "Blood Purple Rose" and Li Mufeng and the others were exhausted, but they still couldn't escape the maze set up by Chu Yunmo.
"Damn Chu Yunmo, if I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces."
"Blood Purple Rose" had never felt so defeated. She was furious. Back in the Xia Kingdom, she was a powerful figure, ranked number one on the assassin list, and had never failed. Now, she had been played like this by a duck. You can imagine how angry "Blood Purple Rose" was.
"Let's sit down and rest for a while! Things will always take a turn for the better."
Li Mufeng sat cross-legged, not wanting to expend too much energy, and waved to "Blood Purple Rose".
"Your Highness, look..."
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was about to sit down, Wang Feng suddenly called out. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Chu Yunmo had returned.
Dressed in white, with flowing black hair and delicate features, she resembled a fairy from a landscape painting, exuding a cool and refined temperament. If one did not know his character, "Blood Purple Rose" would surely be captivated by him. Now, however, all that remains is hatred—hatred for his deception and for taking away her mother and younger brother.
Everyone only felt a gust of wind flash past them, and a silver needle was already pressed against Chu Yunmo's throat.
"You've come at the right time. Quickly remove the maze and hand over my mother and brother, or I'll kill you."
"Blood Purple Rose's" voice was cold and eerie, as if it came from hell, causing Chu Yunmo's heart to ache. The woman who had been so caring and attentive to her not long ago was gone. The woman in front of her now only hated her!
A clear cough came from outside the formation. Chu Yunmo knew it was Chu Xing reminding her, and sighed helplessly.
"I will remove the maze, but not now. If you want your mother and brother to be safe, then let him come with me."
Chu Yunmo pointed her slender finger at Li Mufeng. Upon seeing this, Wang Feng quickly shielded his master behind him.
"The prince will not go with you, Chu Yunmo. You are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Everyone knows you want to harm my prince. Forget about it."
No sooner had Wang Feng finished speaking than Li Mufeng said...
"I will go with you, as long as you don't harm Ziwei's mother and brother."
Where are you taking him?
"Blood Purple Rose" pushed the silver needle a fraction closer to Chu Yunmo's throat. The needle had already pierced her skin, but Chu Yunmo seemed to feel no pain. Her thin lips parted slightly.
"Kill him, use his life to exchange for the lives of your mother and brother. One life for two lives, this deal should be fair to you, shouldn't it?"
"you……"
"Blood Purple Rose" never expected that Chu Yunmo would talk about the murder so casually.
"Don't worry about me, I will definitely bring your mother and brother out safely."
Seeing the worried look in "Blood Purple Rose's" eyes, Li Mufeng's sexy voice comforted her.
"I don't want you to take risks for me, and I don't want to owe you anything."
Li Mufeng's selflessness touched "Xue Ziwei".
"You don't need to feel indebted to me; this is something I did willingly."
Li Mufeng parted his full lips slightly and then spoke to Chu Yunmo.
"Lead the way!"
"I want to be with him."
"Blood Purple Rose" held the silver needle and stabbed it a few more times into Chu Yunmo's throat, her expression full of threat.
“I said, I only want him. If this drags on any longer, I can’t guarantee what will happen to your mother and brother.”
Chu Yunmo fearlessly grasped "Blood Purple Rose's" wrist, then lowered her voice,
"Trust me, he'll be alright."
"What did you say?"
"Blood Purple Rose" thought she was hallucinating, but when she looked up again, Chu Yunmo had already regained her cold expression.
"Hurry up and leave."
Seeing Li Mufeng and Chu Yunmo disappear into the formation, "Blood Purple Rose" shouted anxiously.
"Chu Yunmo, listen carefully! If anything happens to Li Mufeng, I will make you pay for it in blood! Right now, you've been poisoned by me. If you can't bring him back safely within two hours, you're dead!"
Outside the formation, Chu Yunmo clenched her fists involuntarily.
"Does she really not believe in herself?"
"Young Master..."
When Mu Chun saw Chu Yunmo come out, he went up to her and whispered something in her ear.
"knew."
Chu Yunmo spoke coldly, then made a gesture towards Li Mufeng.
"Please, Prince Longxuan,"
The two mounted horses nearby and galloped toward the cliff.
