Chapter 251 - I can give everything for love
At this moment, Su Tang seemed to suddenly think of something, her expression became a little strange, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhao noticed it keenly.
"Um... Second Senior Brother," Su Tang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "A few days ago, when I used my psychic eyes to observe Kyoto's fortune, it seemed... it seemed that I vaguely sensed a very, very hidden, but very familiar aura near Changle Palace where Senior Sister Luo lived... It's a bit like... it's a bit like the power of the stars mixed with some particularly strong earth-type spiritual energy..."
She didn't dare say it out loud, but Xie Zhao and Chu Linyuan understood instantly—it was Tie Niu! That big, stupid guy had returned from the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb! And he was actually lurking around Luo Hongyi!
Xie Zhao was stunned at first, then he smiled a sly smile that said "as expected" and winked at Chu Linyuan: "Did you hear that, Brother? Our flower protector is in place."
A barely perceptible hint of relief flashed across Chu Linyuan's eyes. With Tie Niu watching over him from the shadows, Luo Hongyi's safety was indeed guaranteed.
"No need to make it public." Chu Linyuan said to Su Tang, "Let him be."
Su Tang nodded immediately: "I understand, I understand! Senior Brother Tie Niu must want to give Senior Sister Luo a surprise... or want to..." at the critical moment. She didn't say anything else, but everyone understood.
After the call ended, Su Tang watched the Xingyinling, now calm, her heart filled with anticipation. Senior Brother and Second Brother were safe and sound in the Far North, Senior Sister Luo's revenge plan was nearing completion, and Senior Brother Tie Niu had quietly returned to watch over them from the shadows... Everything was heading in the right direction. She could already see everyone reuniting in Guixu Sect, a lively and bustling scene, not long from now.
Dayan Dynasty, Kyoto, Changle Palace.
The night was deep, and the palace lanterns swayed in the cold wind, casting flickering light and shadows on the ground.
Luo Hongyi sat alone in the palace, her fingertips toying with a jade hairpin imbued with a deadly poison and shimmering with a faint light. Tomorrow would be the day she would launch the final reckoning, a move she had been planning for years within the palace.
All the evidence, witnesses, and plans are ready. When the day breaks, she will root out those evil spirits hiding in the dark and comfort her mother's spirit in heaven!
Her beautiful face was as cold as ice in the candlelight, with only the flame of revenge and a hint of imperceptible fatigue dancing in the depths of her eyes.
Every step in this deep palace is like dancing on the edge of a knife. Even someone as strong as her feels exhausted.
She didn't know that in the shadow of the eaves of a palace not far from Changle Palace, a figure as solid as a rock had been silently guarding for countless nights.
Tie Niu restrained all his breath, and his huge body blended perfectly into the darkness. Only his eyes, which were particularly bright in the night, stared at the direction of Changle Palace without blinking, full of worry and firm protection.
He had already returned from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, his cultivation had reached a higher level, and the aura around him was more condensed and heavy.
He did not go to see Luo Hongyi directly, but chose to use this method to become her most unexpected support when she needed it most.
The next day, the situation in the Golden Palace suddenly changed!
Luo Hongyi, clad in a blood-red robe and armed with irrefutable evidence, launched a brazen attack before the eyes of all the civil and military officials! Her clear and coherent speech, each word piercing the heart, exposed the long-buried conspiracies, frame-ups, and murders in broad daylight! The powerful figures implicated were reduced to ashes, their faces drooping as they collapsed to the ground!
His Majesty the Emperor was extremely furious and ordered the arrest of all those involved in the case on the spot!
However, just as the palace guards stepped forward to capture the last, most hidden and most powerful royal relative - Prince Su who holds part of the military power, something strange happened!
Prince Su, knowing his guilt was irrefutable and that he was doomed to die, launched a desperate attack! His late Nascent Soul cultivation suddenly erupted, freeing himself from the guards' grasp. Like a mad beast, he lunged at Luo Hongyi, the one closest to him, with bloodshot eyes!
A dagger with a green glow appeared in his hand at some point, and it was obvious that he was determined to die together with his partner!
"Bitch! Let's die together!" Prince Su's face was distorted, and he stabbed Luo Hongyi's heart with the dagger at an extremely fast speed!
All this happened so quickly that no one was prepared! Luo Hongyi remained calm despite the shock. The poisonous mist instantly condensed at her fingertips, and she was about to strike back.
However, a dark shadow was faster than her!
Like a ghost, a figure as tall as a mountain suddenly rushed out from the shadows on the side of the hall without any warning, and instantly blocked Luo Hongyi at a speed beyond everyone's reaction!
“Puff!”
The poisoned dagger pierced fiercely into the broad and solid back that suddenly appeared, making a dull sound that made one's teeth ache!
He used his body to block this fatal blow for Luo Hongyi!
The deadly poison instantly invaded his meridians, causing his bronze face to turn a strange blue-black color, but his huge body was like the most reliable barrier, protecting Luo Hongyi motionlessly. He even threw a backhand punch with a terrifying gust of wind, knocking the stunned Prince Su away, causing him to hit the Panlong Golden Pillar, vomiting blood and fainting!
All this happened in a flash!
It wasn't until Prince Su was knocked flying that everyone reacted and cried out in surprise! The guards rushed forward and completely subdued the unconscious Prince Su.
Luo Hongyi stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar tall figure standing in front of her, looked at the wound on his back from which black blood was gushing, smelled the familiar scent that was a mixture of sweat and a hint of blood, which belonged only to Tie Niu, and for the first time, an expression of "astonishment" and "helplessness" appeared on her beautiful face.
"Stupid... stupid cow?!" Her voice trembled slightly, even she herself didn't notice. "You... why are you here?!"
Tie Niu turned around slowly. Due to the severe pain and poison, fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead and his face turned pale. But looking at the safe and sound Luo Hongyi, he grinned as usual, with a simple and a little silly smile, and said in a muffled voice:
"Senior Sister Luo... I'm back. It's okay... No one can hurt you while I'm here."
After saying this, his huge body shook, and he seemed to be unable to support himself.
Luo Hongyi suddenly came back to her senses, looking at his forced appearance and the terrible wound on his back. The ice wall that had accumulated in her heart for many years collapsed at this moment, accompanied by an indescribable sourness, heartache and surging emotions!
She took a step forward, supporting Tie Niu's shaky body. Her usually cold voice was tinged with anxious anger and... tears? "You idiot! Who asked you to block it? Can't I dodge it myself?! Hold on! Don't fall asleep! Do you hear me?"
While she was shouting, she frantically took out her best detoxification pill and stuffed it into Tie Niu's mouth without hesitation. Her fingertips were even shaking with panic.
