Chapter 165: It really is the Soul-Devouring Evil God!
"Mother, you're awake?" Yue Huai quickly grasped her hand and asked worriedly, "Mother, how are you?"
"Go quickly and save your father! They've taken him away!" Madam Yue gripped the hand of the person in front of her tightly, her eyes red with tears. "Those people from the Xuanmen have gone mad. They want to revive the evil god. Your father saw it and tried to stop them, but they forcibly took him away!"
Yue Huai's mind went blank for a moment, then he immediately asked, "Which people are they?"
"Liu Lishan and Su Hexie! I don't know how long they've been plotting this, but now the entire Xuanmen is under their control. Ah Huai, your father was taken away by those two, and they're the ones who caused all my injuries!"
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely rescue Father." Yue Huai clenched his fists tightly, stood up, and prepared to walk out.
These two are both high-ranking elders in the Xuanmen sect. They are usually very gentle and friendly with each other. I never expected that they would be like this under their skin!
Madam Yue suddenly grabbed his hand, her eyes filled with anxiety, and said, "No, don't go! Ah Huai, you go back to the capital now and find your aunt. If something has happened here, something must have happened to your aunt too!"
Yue Huai noticed his mother's trembling hands and immediately knelt down beside the bed: "Mother? Shouldn't we save Father first?"
Tears welled in Madam Yue's bright eyes as she frowned and sobbed, "I want to save him, but I can't let you go to your death for nothing. Those two have somehow mastered some evil magic, and their cultivation has increased dramatically overnight. Even if your father and I joined forces, we couldn't defeat them! Ah Huai, you're my only son, you can't be harmed too!"
Hearing this, Yue Huai was devastated and tears streamed down his face as he asked incredulously, "What about Father?"
"It's alright, your father is so smart, he'll definitely find a way to escape." Madam Yue held his hand tightly, feeling a sharp pain in her heart: "My dear child, hurry back to the capital to find your aunt."
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai naturally refused. That was his own father; how could he just sit idly by and do nothing?
But her mother was seriously injured and she absolutely could not stay here. If those people came back again, her mother would have no way to protect herself.
Without hesitation, Yue Huai held his mother's hand and said, "Mother, I will take you back to the capital. The Crown Prince's residence has the formation that you and Father set up back then, which is safer than here. You can rest and recover there."
"Then you..." Madam Yue guessed his thoughts, and her voice trembled slightly.
"I must save my father!" Yue Huai looked firmly at the person in front of him and said earnestly, "I must save my father!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Madam Yue did not say anything to stop him. After all, he was her husband. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.
Yue Huai turned to look at the girl on the other side, forced a smile, and said, "I'll take you and your mother back to the capital. Please take good care of my mother."
Upon hearing this, Jingwu frowned and refused without hesitation: "I will take your mother back to the capital first, and then I will come back to find you. Wait for me here, and don't act alone!"
After all, he has helped me so much. Now that I'm in trouble, how could I possibly abandon him?
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Jingwu took Madam Yue's hand and, without giving her time to refuse, immediately teleported to the Crown Prince's residence in the capital.
The two landed in the inner courtyard of the Crown Prince's residence. When the servants heard the commotion and looked over, they were all startled.
Without hesitation, Jingwu immediately said, "Madam Yue is seriously injured. Please ask the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to arrange a private room for her treatment!"
Upon hearing this, the servants immediately went to report it.
Before long, the Crown Princess arrived in a hurry.
Just as I was about to ask what happened, I saw that Madam Yue was covered in injuries.
Her expression turned grave, and she immediately ordered her servants to prepare a private room and summon the imperial physician.
After escorting Madam Yue to her room, the Crown Princess turned to the young girl and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Jingwu briefly explained: "There's been internal strife within the Xuanmen sect, and the Yue family is in trouble. Madam Yue is seriously injured, and the head of the Yue family has been kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown."
The Crown Princess's eyes widened in shock. Something had happened to the Yue family! She had to inform the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince immediately!
"I'm entrusting Madam Yue to you now. Please take good care of her." Seeing that she seemed lost in thought, Jingwu said, "I'll go with Yue Huai to find the Yue family head first."
The Crown Princess nodded solemnly, watching the person disappear before her eyes.
She then instructed her servants to invite the Crown Prince back to the mansion, while she herself remained in this side room to keep watch and prevent any mishaps.
Jingwu teleported back to the Yue family. After landing, he happened to bump into the boy walking out of the artificial hill.
She walked toward him, and before she could speak, she heard the person in front of her take out a bunch of magical artifacts and hand them to her.
"This journey is dangerous, so I have selected many magical artifacts for protection." Yue Huai handed her the artifacts and let her choose.
He looked at the person in front of him, who had carefully chosen his path, and hesitated, "You... really want to come with me? Even my father and mother couldn't beat those two when they joined forces. You, really want to go?"
Jingwu paused in his hand holding the Evil-Revealing Mirror, looked at the nervous boy in front of him, and smiled: "I've already gotten involved so much, the evil god behind the scenes definitely won't let me go. Instead of hiding, why don't I join you now and maybe we can take them all down at once?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai's expression visibly relaxed. He wanted to smile, but with his heart filled with worry for his father, the smile he revealed was filled with bitterness.
He could only manage a forced smile and nod earnestly at the person in front of him.
Jingwu patted him on the shoulder in a gesture of comfort.
Immediately, he quickly selected the magical artifacts and put them into his Qiankun bag.
Yue Huai put away the remaining magical artifacts, took out the brush he had just taken from his father's study, and followed the scent on it to find his father's whereabouts.
The next second, a spiritual force appeared, guiding the two of them towards the southwest.
Jingwu followed the boy around most of the city and stopped outside a thatched hut in the suburbs.
She looked around in confusion, only to find that the place was barren, without even a single tree.
The pond outside the thatched house had dried up, and the entire land was devoid of any sign of life.
Jing Wu's expression changed slightly. He exchanged a glance with the person beside him and then walked inside.
There's definitely something strange about this place!
Before long, Jingwu walked to the outside of the thatched hut. The moment he pushed open the door, a huge statue of an evil god came into view.
The statue is flamboyant and distorted, exactly the same as the statues inside the Guanyin Temple!
It really is a Soul-Eating Evil God!
Yue Huai quickly scanned his surroundings, following the scent to find his father.
