An unexpected change occurred.
Yuwen Shu's pupils dilated, seemingly unable to understand why this person who had always been loyal to him would turn against him.
Below the city gate, everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
"You never expected, Yuwen Shu, that in the end, it was me who sent you to your death. I don't care whether Yuwen Yao is alive or dead. I only know that you ruined my life, you shattered all my hopes, and you made me, a great general, suffer the humiliation that no man can tolerate in his life. All of this is because of you."
"Xie Zhengshan, you..."
Yuwen Shu wanted to say something, but General Xie's dagger plunged even deeper, filled with bone-chilling hatred, mixed with internal force, and laced with deadly poison, determined to make him suffer unbearable pain.
Above the city gate lay corpses, all the result of Yuwen Shu's actions when he appeared. So, as the cold wind swept through, no one came to his aid.
"Xie Zhengshan, this is insubordination!"
"Insubordination! Yuwen Shu, I have nothing left. The world is so vast, there is no place for me to hide, you know... For so many days, I have been looking for such an opportunity, haha, and now I have found it."
His tone was arrogant yet filled with bloodthirsty despair. General Xie, dressed in military uniform, had blood on his handsome face and laughed maniacally. He pressed his sword hand forward, pressing it even deeper.
"Does it hurt? Does it hurt as much as when I learned the truth? When I found out that Xie Danling was not my biological son, and that my only biological son not only had intellectual disabilities but also treated me like an enemy, and was trying to assassinate me from time to time? Yuwen Shu, you really should experience that."
"brush--"
Before Xie Zhengshan could make a move, a long sword suddenly thrust horizontally, aiming straight for Xie Zhengshan's heart.
A blood-stained sword pierced through Yuwen Yao's chest, yet Xie Zhengshan did not retreat a single step. Even as blood gushed forth, his sword remained pressed against Yuwen Yao's back, plunging in again with tremendous force.
"Release the Emperor Emeritus!" the Holy Maiden shouted, drawing her sword and stabbing again.
"Thud—" The sword pierced General Xie's heart. At that moment, he sneered, his face turned to the vast earth, and he gave a cold and desolate laugh to tens of thousands of soldiers.
"I, Xie Zhengshan, have made mistakes in my life. I've let down Zongzheng Shao and my children..."
With a loud bang, Xie Zhengshan's hand broke free from the sword stuck in Yuwen Shu's vest and fell heavily to the ground.
As the Holy Maiden lowered her sword to pull Yuwen Shu away, Xie Zhengshan smiled. A silver thread flashed in the air, pulling Yuwen Shu's already blood-loss-prone body down with her.
It's falling!
The Holy Maiden only managed to grab a piece of Yuwen Shu's clothing, her face deathly pale and her pupils dilated.
With a loud crash, two bodies plummeted from the highest point of the city gate, staining the earth with blood, yet their sins could not be washed away.
Yuwen Shu stared at the sky, his eyes wide open, a look of irony and resentment on his face.
For an emperor to die like this will be a shameful story for all time.
He slowly turned his head to look in Yuwen Yao's direction, his smile filled with venom, "I die... haha, you, you all... will not have a good death."
"You will go to hell."
Yuwen Yao looked at this man who was not a father to him and said this sentence without any emotion.
"You...you...ha..."
When you are out of breath, close your eyes.
Yuwen Shu's life has come to a complete end.
"flutter--"
At that very moment, Yuwen Yao spat out a mouthful of blood. Yuwen Shu died, and the two Gu poisons in his body began to take effect, his face turning pale and then transparent.
"emperor."
Tingyu and Tingfeng appeared together, but dared not approach. Instead, they looked at Nan Lingqin, almost as if they were praying or expecting. However, in the end, their expressions dimmed.
"Yuwen Yao, I won't let you die. Nan Fenghuang, I'm leaving this place to you."
Suddenly, while everyone was silent, Nan Lingqin lightly touched the ground with her toes, carrying Yuwen Yao away from the city gate. They soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
Strangely, no one stopped them.
She just left with Yuwen Yao like that, without saying a word to him.
Xu Yiran stood there, raised her hand, and looked at the red streaks on her palm, which seemed to be the silent tears welling up in her heart.
Xiaoqin, in the end, I am not in your heart.
Beneath the city gate, watching the man she had supported and helped for so many years die, the Holy Maiden leaned against the city wall, her heart filled with despair. Her soul seemed to tremble. Looking at his body, tears streamed down her face. "Yuwen Shu, I didn't even have time to tell you how much I cared for you, and you're dead! You're dead! How could you die? We were about to succeed! You were about to achieve immortality! How could you die…"
"Because he deserves to die."
With a flash, Yu Qingyi suddenly appeared on the city gate, standing in front of the Holy Maiden. "Will you surrender or suffer some hardship?"
The Holy Maiden looked at Yu Qingyi with cold eyes, her smile tinged with tears and filled with endless indifference. "What, Prince Yi, you don't want to kill me?"
"Of course I want to kill you. You have been aiding and abetting evil for so many years, you should have died long ago. I have a thousand ways to take your life long ago. However, you may have a way to cure the Twin Gu poison."
"Haha, it's unsolvable, unsolvable. If Yuwen Shu hadn't died, perhaps it was possible, but now that he's dead, nothing is possible. The Emperor will die, Yuwen Shi will die, Yuwen Qingyue will die, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"unless……"
The Holy Maiden suddenly looked at Yu Qingyi and sneered, "Trading Nan Lingqin's life for the Emperor's life, huh? Hahahaha..."
"court death."
Yu Qingyi's expression changed drastically. He struck the Holy Maiden in the chest with a palm, sending her flying far away and crashing into the city wall. The hidden mandarin ducks immediately appeared and subdued the Holy Maiden.
