Mu Tiantian glanced at everyone, clicked her tongue, and said, "Nobody wants it? Then I'll just... burn it..."
As she spoke, she lit a small flame in her other hand.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, "Your Highness, I'll get the treasure map back for you right away."
Having said that, Feng Yang took a step and leaped down, landing in front of Mu Tiantian.
Tuoba Qing neither stopped him nor said anything.
Feng Xue couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she stood to the side without daring to make a sound.
Without saying a word, Fengyang immediately snatched the treasure map.
It's so easy it couldn't be easier.
Feng Yang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the treasure map in his hand.
As soon as he opened the parchment, flames burst forth in the middle, instantly burning a large hole in it.
Fengyang panicked and tried to put out the fire by patting it with his hands.
But it had no effect whatsoever.
They could only watch helplessly as the treasure map was burned to ashes.
"Mu Tiantian! What do you mean by this!" Feng Yang's anger surged to his head, and his eyes turned red with rage.
"What do you mean?" Mu Tiantian sneered. "If I give it to you, do you think you'll survive to find it? If I give it to you, do you think the imperial court will let us go?"
"You!" Feng Yang's eyes flashed with ferocity. He had only taken half a step forward when the Xuanbing Sword was pressed against his neck.
"Xiao Yang, come back!" Feng Xue shouted, fearing that something might have happened to Feng Yang.
Seeing this, Feng Yang's momentum weakened considerably. Although he was unwilling, he dared not confront Feng Xue head-on and had no choice but to return to her side.
Mu Tiantian looked up at Bu Xiuyi, who was already hiding in the shadows and ready.
She tilted her head and whispered to Bei Mingchuan, "No matter what happens later, don't move. I'll be fine."
Mu Tiantian gave him a heads-up beforehand.
“Okay.” Bei Mingchuan didn’t ask anything. Standing behind her, he also looked up at Bu Xiuyi.
At that moment, Bu Xiu also drew his longsword and stabbed at Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian quickly stepped in front of Bei Mingchuan.
Qi Tong exclaimed in shock: "Holy crap, has Bu Xiuyi gone mad?"
Mu Tiantian: [Don't worry about it.]
Qi Tong realized something upon hearing this. Could this be her plan?
Just as Bu Xiuyi was about to stab Mu Tiantian, Bei Mingchuan suddenly pulled her back, and the long sword pierced his chest from behind.
"Bei Mingchuan, your Xuanbing Pavilion has committed numerous evils, murdering and arson, wreaking havoc in my Wuji Palace. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!" With that, Bu Xiu also exerted great force, directly piercing Bei Mingchuan's chest, and then pulled the sword out, blood flowing freely.
Mu Tiantian panicked and tried to cover his chest wound with her hand, but the overflowing blood couldn't be contained at all. "Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you not to move?"
Originally, she wanted Bu Xiuyi to "kill" her in front of everyone, and then have Bei Mingchuan take her body away so they could "commit suicide" by jumping off a cliff.
He then conceded that Xiu Yi would use two corpses to represent the two of them.
In this way, the treasure map, Mu Tiantian, and Bei Mingchuan disappeared from this world.
They could also truly retire from worldly affairs and live a life of seclusion.
Moreover, she specifically instructed Bu Xiuyi that if Bei Mingchuan shielded her from a sword, she must not harm him.
She glared at Bu Xiuyi, furious that he had stabbed her so hard.
Bu Xiuyi looked into her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, his murderous intent barely concealed.
This was the first time he had ever seen her so angry.
Seeing this, Xing Wusong immediately started fighting with Bu Xiuyi, saying, "You Wuji Palace dare to hurt people without even producing any evidence? I'll skin you alive!"
No matter how much he and Bei Mingchuan argue, it's always an internal conflict.
Now that he has been wronged, Xing Wusong will not stand idly by.
Moreover, if Bei Mingchuan dies, wouldn't his disciple become a widow?
No, if Bei Mingchuan is truly in mortal danger, he will absolutely make Bu Xiu pay with his life!
Bu Xiu could only defend himself and dared not actually hurt Xing Wusong.
This was merely Bei Mingchuan's plan.
After he helped Mu Tiantian deliver the message, Bei Mingchuan found him and told him that Bu Qingtian was in his hands.
Therefore, he could only follow Bei Mingchuan's orders.
He told Bei Mingchuan about Mu Tiantian's plan, and Bei Mingchuan changed his plan after learning about it.
The original plan was to "kill" Mu Tiantian, but instead, it became to "kill" Bei Mingchuan.
And you have to be ruthless enough.
His hands were shaking when he picked up the sword, afraid of hurting Mu Tiantian.
Fortunately, Bei Mingchuan protected her.
At that moment, Bei Mingchuan held Mu Tiantian tightly and whispered, "I know what you want to do, I'll do it for you..."
After a long while, Bei Mingchuan released her and fell straight backward.
The blood that had flowed out was enough to kill him.
This result was unexpected by everyone.
Bei Mingchuan was so powerful, how could he die like that?
Tuoba Qing did not believe it.
At this moment, a guard came to report, his voice filled with sorrow, "Your Highness, the Emperor... the Emperor has been killed by the Feng family. The Feng family is plotting a rebellion."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft; the people around could just hear it.
"What?" Feng Xue was shocked and her eyes widened.
Fengyang couldn't believe it either.
Such earth-shattering news was so great that people from other sects dared not linger there, fearing they would be punished because of their good relationship with the Feng family.
The situation changed too quickly. The treasure map was destroyed, the emperor died, and the Feng family committed regicide and rebellion, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family.
"Guards! Feng Yang and Feng Xue have committed regicide and rebellion. Take them into custody and await further instructions." With a single order from Tuoba Qing, the guards immediately took action against Feng Xue and Feng Yang.
Feng Yang roared in terror, "Impossible! Our Fengfo Sect all obey your orders. How could we possibly commit such a grave crime as regicide and treason..."
"Take them away, and detain all the disciples of the Phoenix Buddha Sect." Tuoba Qing didn't give the siblings a chance to argue, and shouted, "All sects closely related to the Phoenix Buddha Sect, shut them down and detain them."
Other sects immediately fled when they saw that things were not going well.
Half an hour later, Wushuang Manor was much quieter. Apart from those who returned to the manor, the only people left were Tuoba Qing and the guards protecting him, as well as Xing Wusong and Bu Xiuyi, who were fighting.
Tuoba Qing didn't leave; he looked at Bei Mingchuan lying on the ground.
He didn't believe that Bei Mingchuan would be killed so easily.
Tuoba Qing walked to the side of the Beiming River.
Mu Tiantian sat on the ground, holding Bei Mingchuan, her eyes dim, her words somewhat sarcastic, "Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince is unwilling to even leave behind a complete corpse?"
"Is that the kind of person you think I am?" Tuoba Qing was deeply hurt.
Mu Tiantian knew very well what kind of person he was; at least he wouldn't go so far as to want to kill her and Bei Mingchuan.
Moreover, the emperor is dead, yet he doesn't rush back to the palace but lingers here; this must be a scheme he has set up.
This is a scheme that can eliminate the Feng family, their cronies, and the emperor simultaneously.
He was the Son of Heaven, and would later become the emperor of this land; he was very shrewd and calculating.
After today, she didn't want to get involved anymore, nor did she intend to have any further contact with him, so her attitude towards him wasn't very good.
However, Mu Tiantian did this only to put herself on the opposite side of him, so that she could retire from the martial arts world and have no connection with the imperial court in the future.
Mu Tiantian said indifferently, "Otherwise, if something happens in the palace, why are you staying here instead of going back?"
Tuoba Qing didn't answer her, but looked down at Bei Mingchuan and said, "Bei Mingchuan, you can wake up now."
Xing Wusong, who was fighting with Bu Xiuyi, stopped upon hearing this.
The two were panting heavily, their legs felt unsteady, and they were already struggling to stand.
Bei Mingchuan opened his eyes, sat up, took out the blood pack from his chest, and threw it on the ground.
