Ch 367: Narrow Escape
Rumble!
The sound of thunder roared like Heavenly Might, relentlessly, and the rain intensified.
Large raindrops poured down from the Sky Dome.
As they were about to fall on Yuan Wuji and Emperor Yu Yang, they were instantly evaporated by the faint aura emanating from them.
Only when they fell on Dao Canggu did they naturally wet his hair and robes.
The rain washed away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Dao Canggu’s robes were stained red with blood, his hair disheveled, and his aura was less impressive than before.
“Your servant is saying, why do you have to oppose Your Majesty? Look at your current state, do you still have the demeanor of the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion’s Number One Assassin?”
Yuan Wuji held a saber in one hand and a refined hand gesture in the other.
His fingertip glided across the saber’s cold blade, leaving a trace of blood.
This blood came from Dao Canggu.
Emperor Yu Yang’s figure appeared behind Dao Canggu, blocking his retreat, his expression calm and composed.
“What’s so good about being an assassin? Why not submit to My rule? In the future, I will spread your name throughout the land.”
Hearing this.
Dao Canggu turned to Yuan Wuji, his tone sarcastic: “What, do you want me to become an eunuch with you? I don’t have that kind of preference.”
“Good!”
Yuan Wuji’s voice suddenly became incredibly sharp.
He looked towards Emperor Yu Yang and pleaded, “Your Majesty, this man in the warehouse is insolent. If we try to win him over, he will probably remain resentful. It is better to bury him permanently in the Dragon Court.”
Emperor Yu Yang nodded noncommittally.
He only needed Yuan Wuji as his trusted confidant.
That statement was merely meant to dissipate Dao Canggu’s fighting spirit.
Since his secluded cultivation was interrupted, he needed more True Qi to replenish himself and once again attempt to break through to the Half-step Divine Pool, and Dao Canggu was a good choice.
The next instant.
A Saber Light appeared and instantly reached Dao Canggu.
At the same time.
Emperor Yu Yang also arrived behind Dao Canggu, extending a hand and successfully grasping the corner of his robe, just millimeters from touching his skin.
Once Dao Canggu was touched, Emperor Yu Yang’s cultivated Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art would immediately be unleashed, sucking all of his True Qi dry.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Faced with this deadly situation, Dao Canggu smiled faintly: “You underestimate me.”
“Painting Creates Illusion!”
The Void Scroll held by Dao Canggu suddenly emitted a radiance, like ink spilling from the scroll.
His entire being instantly seemed to be outlined by a paintbrush, now blurred by the rain.
In just a moment.
He transformed into a pool of multicolored paint, washed away by the rain and falling to the ground.
“It’s the Void Scroll!”
Yuan Wuji’s expression changed, and he stopped without hesitation.
The entire world in his eyes began to undulate and sway.
“This is the effect of that Innate Spirit Treasure.”
Emperor Yu Yang casually absorbed the Saber Light, looking at the pool of paint flowing along the ground with the rain, his expression unchanged, but his aura became even colder.
Everyone knew that the Void Scroll was an Innate Spirit Treasure, and it was in Dao Canggu’s possession.
But knowing is one thing.
Currently, in the entire Tianxuan Realm, only the War Immortal Hong Ruhai of Wuji Palace truly understood the true effect of this Innate Spirit Treasure.
As for others who had seen it, they died at the hands of Dao Canggu.
Emperor Yu Yang had assumed that the Void Scroll was an Innate Spirit Treasure that combined offense and defense, as it had appeared to be in Dao Canggu’s hands.
What he hadn’t expected was that the Void Scroll also had the ability to escape.
“Yuan Wuji, go pursue Dao Canggu.”
Emperor Yu Yang gave an order.
Dao Canggu was now seriously injured, with less than one-tenth of his True Qi remaining. Even if he could escape, he wouldn’t be able to go far.
As long as they could find even a trace of him, they could eliminate him.
After Yuan Wuji left according to orders.
Emperor Yu Yang turned towards the location where Yu Qinghe and the others were.
The True Qi consumed in this battle was too great; he needed to replenish it.
At this time, all of the experts brought by Yu Qinghe had been incapacitated, and even he himself had been bound by the experts from the Imperial City.
Emperor Yu Yang expressionlessly extended his hand.
One of Yu Qinghe’s subordinates lying on the ground was pulled by an invisible force, uncontrollably falling onto him.
Then he placed his hand on the man’s head, and under the activation of the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, the man’s True Qi was instantly drained, and he lost all signs of life.
He executed these people one by one in this manner.
Yu Qinghe, who was bound, watched this scene in terror.
His heart turned icy cold, and he deeply regretted his actions.
He had noticed Dao Canggu’s unusual behavior. What he hadn’t expected was that this Fake Emperor was an Immortal Realm expert.
If he had known that the Fake Emperor would pursue him relentlessly, he would have made more preparations before acting.
For example, he could have asked Dao Canggu to take him away at the moment of his demise.
Or he could have informed Xiao Han, the Heir of the King of Northern Qi’s Mansion, of his plan.
After all, his good brother Xiao Han had been making headlines recently and was hailed as the youngest Sword Immortal in history.
If he had pleaded with Xiao Han to act with him, then he would have had two Immortal Realm experts on his side, and they would not have been at such a disadvantage.
But he was too impatient and missed such a good opportunity.
Just as he didn’t know what to do, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.
The next moment, he disappeared from his original position.
“Hm?”
Emperor Yu Yang noticed this unusual movement, looked at the place where Yu Qingyang had disappeared, and his face fell completely.
He sensed a fluctuation in the aura of a Spirit Treasure.
Someone must have used a Spirit Treasure with an invisibility effect to save Yu Qinghe.
He just didn’t know who was so bold as to act right under his nose!
Emperor Yu Yang expressionlessly looked at the other experts in the Imperial City and commanded, “Go and search for Yu Qinghe’s whereabouts for me. Even if you have to turn the entire Dragon Court upside down, you must find him.”
“I want to see who is so audacious as to secretly harbor someone who intends to rebel!”
As soon as he finished speaking, these experts swarmed out.
Some stayed near the Imperial City, carefully searching every corner.
Others went outside the Imperial City, appearing like locusts in every place Yu Qinghe might possibly be.
Even the Third Prince’s Mansion was searched thoroughly.
Despite such a thorough search, Yu Qinghe seemed to be nonexistent, completely vanished!
