Watching the young swordsmen in front of him fall in a pool of blood one after another, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.
Only those who have experienced death know the horror of it. Although Mu Hanyan is cold and ruthless when facing her enemies, these people in front of her are not her enemies, but just a group of her peers who lost their lives because of a lie. How could she ignore them?
"Get out, get out quickly, if you don't, you will all die here." Mu Hanyan couldn't help but shout loudly.
After hearing her words, many people showed hesitation. Although the hope of escaping the predicament was just ahead, there was hope only if they were alive. Instead of committing suicide one after another, it would be better to stay here and wait for Zhengying Academy to send people to rescue them.
"Mu Hanyan, it's bad enough that you're afraid of death, but do you want everyone to stay and die with you?" Qu Fengting frowned and shouted angrily.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the palace, as long as a few more people died, he would be done. How could he be willing to fail at this moment?
"Don't listen to her nonsense. Staying here will lead to death. The only way to survive is to rush out." The little follower behind Qu Fengting also shouted.
"Do you remember the covenant we made when we established the United Alliance? We worked together without regrets, even in life or death. Now everyone listen to my orders and charge forward together. If anyone dares to have any dissenting thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!" Qu Fengting unfurled his long sword and shouted majestically.
The young swordsmen all looked daunted. When they had formed the Tongxin League, they had pledged to work together with one heart and soul, never regretting their actions, and to obey Qu Fengting's orders. Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be punished. If they retreated now, even if Qu Fengting killed them, no one would stand up for them in the future.
"Kill!" At this point, they had no way to retreat. They could only grit their teeth, put life and death behind them, and rush forward with Qu Fengting.
"Forget it, let them die if they want to. You guys retreat first." Seeing several more swordsmen fall down in the blink of an eye, Mu Hanyan shook her head helplessly and said to Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun.
"Brother Hanyan, you'd better be careful." Mu Cheng knew that he and Wu Qiyun would be a burden if they stayed. Without them, Mu Hanyan and the other two would be much more relaxed. So while Mu Hanyan was killing the thunder wolf in front of them, he quickly fled the battlefield and retreated in the direction they came from.
Wu Qiyun also retreated, looking at Mu Hanyan. He wanted to say something, but after thinking it over, he decided not to speak. The situation was dangerous and beyond his expectations. The most urgent thing was to save their own lives, so he was too embarrassed to ask Mu Hanyan for anything.
"Don't worry. Actually, I have some grudges with the Qu family. Even if I hadn't met you, I would never let Qu Fengting succeed." Mu Hanyan knew what he wanted to say and nodded.
These strange beasts gathered here, obviously to guard the palace. When they saw Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun retreat, they did not chase after them.
Mu Hanyan felt relieved upon seeing this, and chased after him with Yan Yuchu.
In the narrow crevice of the cliff, the roars of beasts and the sounds of killing were deafening.
Young bodies fell to the ground, blood staining the earth red. Even the air was filled with a faint crimson hue, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. So tragic, so shocking!
Looking at the mutilated corpses, Mu Hanyan felt a surge of rage in her heart.
If they had listened to her and left earlier, at least half of the people here would have survived, but now, they are trapped in this desolate valley forever.
And all this was just because of a lie, for Qu Fengting's own selfish interests!
