Chapter 119 – Even if He is a Vicious Person (2)
Over two hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Yue country had expended all of his country’s resources to construct the most magnificent palace in the world. Now, at the face of a brutish war, it had been completely destroyed, all former beauty and splendor gone. One could even hear the faint weeping of the palace eunuchs as they ran away from the battle.
Ye Mu dodged incoming attacks while hastily advancing with all her might. Whenever someone would see her, no matter which side they were on, they would subconsciously brandish their swords at her without a care in the world that she was only a child.
But Ye Mu knew, in war, this was a conditional reaction. In the frenzied battle to death, no one would care whether the other person on the tip of their blade was the old, weak, a babe or an innocent.
Ye Mu dodged all the way without hurting anyone. As she progressed further, her movements became faster, and her originally small amount of inner Qi was continuously stimulated, as if tiring herself is not an option at this point.
As for Ye Li… where is he?
Dressed in red, she stood on the bloody stone steps, looking around the vicinity and at everyone fighting. Yet, not a single soul was Ye Li…
But then, a tall figure suddenly appeared amidst the chaos.
Ye Mu’s eyes lit up as she forced her petite body to penetrate through the countless masses to run towards his side!
“Father!”
At this moment, Ye Li no longer rode a horse, and his armor was broken in many places—gone was his former magnificent glory before the battle. Nevertheless, he alone was actually able to resist more than twenty inner force experts crowding him.
From this alone, it could already be seen how tremendously powerful his martial arts is!
Ye Li thought he was imagining things when he heard Ye Mu’s voice. But upon seeing her in the flesh, he subconsciously used all his strength to separate from his enemies and fetch Ye Mu, grabbing her back from the heat of the battle.
The twenty enemies on the other side clearly knew Ye Mu’s identity. Seeing that Ye Mu was in Ye Li’s hands, they didn’t dare act rashly for a moment.
“Why are you here?!” Ye Li was flustered for the first time and exasperated. He didn’t expect that Ye Mu still hadn’t left the battlefield.
“Do you want to die!?”
Ye Mu’s little hands tightly held onto his battle robe while the people around them continued in their carnage, with the twenty inner force experts surrounding them. In the raging battle, Ye Li and Ye Mu almost looked insignificant and inconspicuous to the world.
“Father, go back!” Ye Mu’s face was currently streaked in black and white dust, and a large portion of her red skirt was burnt. However, her eyes were still clear and bright as she continued to say, “I do not care for your reasons why you decided to rush into the imperial palace, but if you will continue this—you will definitely die here!”
But Ye Li only narrowed his eyes dangerously at her when he heard this.
“You want me to retreat? Impossible! Don’t fret about the matters of this general that does not concern you! Scram back now!”
He pushed her little body, causing Ye Mu to retreat a few steps and fall to the ground. However, she quickly got up and glared at him.
“Father! Can you listen to me once! Just once!?”
She stepped forward to pull at his battle robe again, and angrily said, “I didn’t want to care about you either! But because you also wanted to save me, I also won’t give up on you so easily. Retreat now! There’s no other way!”
“What do you know?” Ye Li’s tall body slightly trembled, “No matter how many people die, there is one thing that I must have today! Even if it means my death, we will get it!”
His words caused Ye Mu to become stunned, as if she had finally grasped the crux of the matter.
However, the enemy’s troops suddenly retreated. Only then did Ye Li discover that his army was trapped in the square of the Middle Palace near the Inner Palace’s entrance. Rows of soldiers appeared on the four walls, their bows raised at the ready and aimed at them.
Damn it! They were surrounded!
He finally wanted to retreat, but he didn’t expect that the path behind him would be blocked. The person leading this unexpected troop was Yan Xu, and in this moment, he was exposing his true face for the first time.
After removing part of his disguise, his originally rigid face became even more of a cold, handsome beauty.
