The atmosphere in the room became oppressive again, and the dancing flames from the candlesticks beside them reflected on their faces, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
After an unknown amount of time, a sigh finally sounded.
"Okay, go ahead then. Don't hurt yourself."
Hearing this, Mu Yanyun's face lit up immediately, and she said hurriedly:
"Thank you, Father."
After expressing her gratitude profusely, Mu Yanyun quickly left the study, and Mu Fenfang also thanked her repeatedly.
Soon, the two figures left one after another, leaving Mu Tianhao sitting on the dragon throne with a sad look on his face, as if he was lost in deep thought.
"I don't know how the Jinyiwei are doing."
Thirty miles outside the capital, in a cave in Nanshan, the atmosphere was oppressive and filled with an indescribable tension.
"What? Are you saying that all our hiding places in the capital have been discovered by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and now all the Tongtian Sect members are dead or injured?" The Great Elder was furious when he heard this, his eyes twisted and he cursed loudly.
The two figures of the Black and White Demons knelt on the ground and whispered a reminder:
"Great Elder, we don't know what happened, but in the blink of an eye, all the Jinyiwei came out in full force, and we couldn't do anything in the capital."
As the two talked, they nervously looked at the expression of the great elder in the distance, feeling uneasy.
Tongtian Sect has strict rules, and they were afraid of being held accountable for this incident. Just thinking about those extremely cruel punishments made them shudder and feel nervous.
"Enough!" The Great Elder took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, then stood up, and low footsteps suddenly sounded in the house.
"Now that the Jinyiwei have made it clear they want to go to war with us, we can't show weakness."
No one said a word.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were all cast towards a corner of the cave. Ye Feiyun, who was tied up, had already woken up. He opened his round eyes wide and looked at the few people, swallowing his saliva.
What the hell, why are you looking at me?
Are you trying to attack me?
Damn it, you bunch of bastards, just chat about your own things, why drag me into this...?
Ye Feiyun was so angry at the moment.
I feel like I'm unlucky.
I originally wanted to go back to Ye Mansion, but I was caught by those damn Black and White Devils and thrown into this godforsaken cave. I was not given a single bite of food or water to drink.
I torture myself mentally from time to time...
As he was thinking in his heart, he suddenly felt the so-called great elder's gaze staring at him like a cold poisonous snake, which made him shudder instantly.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Feiyun frowned.
"What do I want to do?" As the Great Elder's voice fell, his figure suddenly disappeared like a ghost, and a moment later he appeared in front of Ye Feiyun, looking down at him condescendingly, his voice sounded coldly.
"I seem to have heard that you are Mu Tianhao's son-in-law, right?" There was an extremely cold tone in his words.
Can I still say that I am not...? Ye Feiyun's heart was full of panic, and he suddenly understood that the Tongtian Sect had captured him not because of the matter between him and Long Aotian, but to use it to threaten Mu Tianhao.
Isn't this a rip-off?
Mu Yanyun and I haven't gotten married yet, this idiot has obviously chosen the wrong person.
"Great Elder, please listen to my explanation..." Before Ye Feiyun finished speaking, he saw a hand as thin as tree bark had already grabbed his neck, and the powerful force made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
In an instant, his brain seemed to freeze, his eyes were blurry, and the only sound he could hear was the grunting and panting coming from his struggling mouth.
"No...no...what do you want to do...what..." A difficult voice came out of Ye Feiyun's mouth hesitantly.
"What do I want to do? Haha!" A ferocious look appeared on the Great Elder's face, and finally he surprisingly lifted Ye Feiyun up with one hand.
Ye Feiyun's hands were tied, only his feet were flapping in the air, struggling hard.
The Great Elder's face showed a hint of cruelty again, and the strength of his hands became more and more intense. Ye Feiyun's face suddenly turned red, his temples throbbing, and he felt as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.
"I tell you, the Tongtian Church has fallen into this state today because of you, Ye Feiyun. If Long Aotian doesn't come back, I will sacrifice you to the heavens."
"Crunch, crunch," Ye Feiyun's cervical vertebrae made a sound as if they could not bear the heavy burden.
With a "clang", the great elder swung his hand violently, and Ye Feiyun's body slammed to the ground. A twisting and severe pain made him feel his stomach churning, as if he was about to vomit.
"Uh, uh." He coughed violently a few times, and took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling instantly relieved.
In just a few moments, he almost felt like he was seeing his great-grandmother.
Flop Street Boy...
Why would you hit me if you can’t beat Mu Tianhao?
Isn't this just pure stupidity?
But Ye Feiyun naturally would not say these words. He just stood up with difficulty and looked around from time to time.
If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll be tortured to death by this perverted elder before the Tongtian Sect can make a move...
You can tell at first glance that this old guy isn't normal.
It's so perverted, I have to torture myself for no reason...
Just as Ye Feiyun's eyes were rolling around, the Great Elder's cold voice sounded again, extremely gloomy.
"That's enough. Stop looking. We, the Tongtian Sect, are heavily guarding this place. Not only you, but even a fly can't get out."
The black and white demons standing by had equally cold eyes. In stark contrast to their beautiful bodies, the murderous intent in their eyes was not concealed at all.
They are like a pair of scorpion beauties and roses with thorns.
Several cold gazes were cast at him, making Ye Feiyun swallow his saliva in shock.
Ye Feiyun took several deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
"Okay, pass on my order. Everyone in Tongtian Sect must evacuate the capital immediately. As many people as can leave will be spared." The Great Elder gave the order in a cold tone, his teeth clenched, and words almost came out of his mouth one by one.
He knew the Jinyiwei very well. If they fought head-on, even if all the people in Tongtian Sect were put together, they would not be enough to deal with the Jinyiwei.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Perhaps if we let them leave this time, there will still be a chance.
"Great Elder, what should we do with Young Master Aotian?" one of the Black and White Devils asked worriedly.
"Forget about him. Tongtian Sect is on the verge of destruction. When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact." The Great Elder hesitated for a moment and said this.
The two women looked at each other immediately, and shock was seen in their eyes, but the words of the elder rang out again.
