In a dimly lit room.
Bang!
Shangguan Chuxue stood up in disbelief, her voice filled with shock: "Returning to simplicity?!"
Her eyes revealed an incredulous gaze.
The true energy stirred the anomalies of heaven and earth, the pure-colored flowing aura of true energy?!
This is... returning to simplicity?!
Is Su Muwan returning to simplicity?!
Shangguan Chuxue recalled the scene of Su Muwan's move just now in her mind.
Her expression was somewhat shocked.
Although the death of her subordinate was somewhat regrettable, it was far less impactful than the revelation that Su Muwan had achieved returning to simplicity!
Returning to simplicity... returning to simplicity...
Hehe.. Hahaha!!
Shangguan Chuxue's expression gradually shifted from shock to excitement.
She covered her face with her hands, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"Su Muwan..."
"Very well.."
"This is what makes you worthy of being my opponent!"
Returning to simplicity, huh... hehe..
Shangguan Chuxue took a deep breath, the corner of her mouth curling slightly.
The underworld of the four districts was not controlled by her Gu insects.
So...
"Heh."
"What a clever move, I suppose Teng Ao intentionally joined my side, right...."
Shangguan Chuxue quickly realized that Teng Ao had not been turned by her at all.
Although she didn't know how Su Muwan had managed it.
But...
Su Muwan, you do have some tricks up your sleeve.
As things stand.
Her gaze flickered with a hint of indifference.
She could only first bring Song Ming to Wang City, and then reconsider her plans.
....
....
"Pfft!!!"
With the appearance of a blood mist, Song Ming's wretched figure appeared at the entrance of Rakshasa Palace.
He spat out blood, his eyes dazed.
But..
"Hehe.. Hahaha!!!"
He clutched his chest and slowly got up.
His eyes were feverish: "The Blood Demon Ancestor's technique is indeed powerful!"
"Although the cost is that I've fallen back a major realm..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with venom for Su Muwan.
Su Muwan! You wicked woman!
How dare you scheme against me like this!
You may have succeeded tonight! But it's useless!
With the Rakshasa Technique, all I need is to seek out various martial arts again, and I can rise again!!
Now...
Song Ming clutched his chest, gasping for breath as he walked into Rakshasa Palace.
I need to hurry and take Bailian with me and escape.
Inside the palace.
Ding ding ding!!!
Su Bailian was ransacking everything here.
She carried a large bag, opening it to reveal some confidential documents and valuable items from inside Rakshasa Palace.
She pouted: "What is this, there's nothing valuable at all."
But oh well.
This Song Ming is never coming back anyway.
She had watched the live broadcast and knew that the people Song Ming took with him didn't last a single round.
So she quickly moved to pack everything up.
She had already transferred the Song Family's assets away, and as soon as she finished packing these...
She could happily return to the Su Family as their second young lady~
Then, with the Song Family's assets, she could afford to buy beef for Pochi for a lifetime!
However.. just as she was thinking.
A whiff of blood wafted in.
Su Bailian turned her head to look.
Instantly, her face turned pale with fright.
She saw.
Song Ming coughing up blood, his expression frantic, walking in, and when he saw Su Bailian, he relaxed.
"Bailian!"
Why is this guy back?!
Su Bailian screamed inwardly, but on the surface, she quickly stepped forward, her eyes turning red.
She said with concern: "Ming gege! How did you get so badly injured?"
"Sigh.. It's nothing.."
Seeing the worried Bailian, Song Ming also felt warm in his heart.
He shook his head, grabbed Su Bailian's hand, and urgently said: "Bailian, there's no time to explain, I need to take you away from Jiang City."
Leave Jiang City??
Su Bailian was stunned, then wanted to pull her hand away from Song Ming, she said: "Ming.. Ming gege, even if we lose, we can rise again!"
"Jiang City still has the Song Family! Are you not going to keep the Song Family's assets?"
Hearing this.
Song Ming didn't think too much, although he felt it was a pity to abandon the Song Family.
But..
Just as Qin Luo said, after tonight, whether the Song Family still exists or not is uncertain.
Moreover, it's too late to transfer the assets now!
They must escape as quickly as possible! Otherwise, their lives might be at risk!
Thinking this, Song Ming pulled Su Bailian and said: "There's no time, money can be earned again."
"But if we lose our lives, it's really over."
"Bailian, actually... actually, I like you, believe me, I'll take you to Wang City to find someone."
"She can help us rise again!"
Song Ming's expression was serious and affectionate.
But Su Bailian felt extremely horrified.
Hey! Don't propose to me while coughing up blood and in this place!
And!
I just transferred your family's assets, you know!
Ying ying ying!!
I don't want to go! I want to go home! I want to go home!
Su Muwan! Qin Luo! You two come and save me ying ying ying!!
Time passed.
Two figures with their faces covered appeared at the entrance of the high-speed rail station.
They were Song Ming and Su Bailian.
Song Ming coughed up blood, his eyes gloomy.
He held a communication device, his voice trembling: "Shangguan Chuxue, where is the person you sent to guide me?"
On Shangguan Chuxue's side, she watched the live feed of Song Ming and Su Bailian.
She said calmly: "His name is Wu Cheng, someone you should be familiar with."
"Also.. you really can't bear to part with your little girlfriend."
Song Ming heard this, his eyes darkened: "Bailian is the person I value the most, Shangguan Chuxue, don't you dare have any bad intentions towards her!"
"Heh... alright, it's the person standing over there, follow him, he'll take you out of Jiang City."
Hearing this.
Song Ming looked up and saw Wu Cheng standing among the crowd, his expression serious.
Wu Cheng also spotted Song Ming, looked around, and quickly walked up to pull Song Ming, whispering: "Keep your head down and follow me."
"There are also people from Su Muwan here."
"Okay."
Song Ming had met Wu Cheng before, who was one of Shangguan Chuxue's most capable subordinates.
However..
"How do we leave Jiang City?"
"The adult has arranged a train, you just need to enter the third to last carriage, once you're on the train, no one will be able to find you!"
"Alright!"
Hearing this, Song Ming felt relieved.
He then turned to Su Bailian, whose face was pale with fear, and said: "Bailian, don't worry, I'll definitely take you to safety."
"......Ying ying ying...."
"Bailian, don't cry, we'll be safe soon."
"Ying ying ying...."
Su Bailian cried even harder, not!
Brothers! Where are you!
If you don't come soon! I really will be taken to Wang City!!
A moment later.
Song Ming followed Wu Cheng through the manual passage and into the station.
As they went deeper, the crowd around them gradually thinned out.
Until they reached a passage that required an internal card to enter.
Only then did Song Ming feel at ease.
He followed Wu Cheng to a high and low slope, looking up, as long as they went up, they would reach the boarding area.
Once on the train, they could leave Jiang City!
In an instant, his thoughts wandered.
It seemed he thought of his past, once he didn't want to be part of the underworld, but in this world, it's a big fish eating small fish.
He had to become stronger to protect everything.
But all of this was shattered by Su Muwan's glance.
Hu..
Song Ming took a deep breath, he clenched Su Bailian's hand, and looked up at the entrance above the steps.
He slowly stepped forward.
That place...
As long as they reached that place...
As long as they reached that place!!!
He... could rise again!
Shangguan Chuxue also watched the scene, slowly saying: "Go up, you will... embrace a new life."
However.
The words had just fallen.
The next second.
Wu Cheng, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Then.
Clap clap clap!!!
Bang bang bang!!!
The entrance above the steps, the large lights suddenly all turned on.
The dazzling light suddenly illuminated the entire hall.
Shangguan Chuxue: ?
Song Ming subconsciously closed his eyes.
The next second.
A familiar mocking voice came.
"Waste."
"You've done well to get this far."
"But it should... end here."
!!!
Song Ming immediately opened his eyes and looked up.
In an instant, he was stunned.
He saw.
At the entrance above the steps, a row of people quietly stood there, blocking all entrances.
They were Zhu Lan, Shen Fei, Jiang Zixuan, Huang Lingfeng, Huang Lingyu......
They stood with their backs to the intense light source, their silhouettes sharply outlined by the glow.
Like a row of black cutouts, they exuded an imposing presence.
Their faces were completely hidden in the light, leaving only their tall, striking figures visible.
And among them, the one standing in the middle...
was someone Song Ming could never forget.
It was... Qin Luo!!
He quickly turned his head to look away.
But...
Clang, clang, clang—!
The once empty hall was suddenly flooded with a group of black-clad death warriors.
This is...
The Su Family's death warriors?!
Ugh—!!
Song Ming clenched his communication device and cursed, "Shangguan Chuxue?! You tricked me?!"
It was Shangguan Chuxue's people who led the way, so wasn't she deliberately setting him up?!
Damn it! He still had Su Bailian with him, and he couldn't afford to waste his energy escaping alone!
He thought quickly and turned to look at Su Bailian, hurriedly saying, "Bailian, you..."
Slap!
Before he could finish, Su Bailian swatted away his hand.
Then, her previously pitiful expression instantly changed as she disdainfully spat, "Get lost!"
With that, she scurried to the side.
In Song Ming's stunned gaze, she raised her middle finger and smirked mockingly, "Teehee~ Fooled you, huh~"
Fooled you~
You~
Huh~
Song Ming's mind went blank.
He looked around, then at Su Bailian.
In an instant, a wave of realization and utter despair surged through him, tearing at his heart.
He understood! He understood it all!
Hahahaha!!!
"Qin—Luo—!!!!"
Song Ming's eyes turned bloodshot as he turned to Qin Luo, who stood on the steps above, looking down at him. He roared, "Why?!"
"Why?!"
"Why?!"
"I have no grudge with you! Why must you go against me like this?!"
"Why must you keep siding with Su Muwan to target me?!"
"Why?!!!"
As the words fell, Qin Luo's lips curled into a smile. He chuckled lightly, "Because... I wanted to see some fun."
At those words,
Clang—!
Song Ming's expression froze.
See... fun?
He slowly digested the meaning of those words.
So...
From targeting him, to placing Su Bailian by his side...
And now, after giving him a fleeting hope of escape, stripping it all away in an instant...
All of this...
was just for the sake of amusement?!
Who wanted to see the fun?
Su Muwan... and Qin Luo?!
In an instant, Song Ming's mind short-circuited.
His eyes turned crimson, his face twisted in collapse.
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
He pointed at Qin Luo and roared, "You two!!!"
"Vicious bastards! Vicious wenches!!!"
After the outburst,
Thud!
Song Ming's vision went black, and his body stiffly collapsed to the ground!
He had been so enraged that he fainted.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Chuxue watched the scene unfold, her face darkening.
How?
This route was controlled by her people, so how was it compromised?
Why?
And what about Wu Cheng?
He had her bug in him, so how could he betray her?
The next moment,
In Shangguan Chuxue's grim expression,
The seemingly harmless underling Qin Luo,
Walked into the surveillance footage.
It seemed he knew she was watching.
Qin Luo summoned Wu Cheng.
Then, with a pull to his face,
Rip!
Using a special technique he had learned, Qin Luo peeled off a human skin mask.
Underneath was revealed... Teng Ao!!!
It was Teng Ao?!
Shangguan Chuxue's breath hitched.
But that wasn't all.
Qin Luo bent down and picked up the communication device from Song Ming's hand.
He looked into the camera, knowing Shangguan Chuxue was watching.
"That's how it is, Miss Shangguan of Wang City."
Qin Luo waved at the camera, his expression cheerful. "This time, my lady and I had quite a bit of fun. Thank you for gathering so many people together and delivering them to us."
"Otherwise, it might have taken a long time for my lady to unify Jiang City."
"Oh, and..."
I can control your Gu worm too.
As he spoke, Qin Luo raised his right hand, and a centipede slowly crawled out from Song Ming's eye socket.
He held it up to his face, his lips curling into a grin.
It seemed he was talking to himself, or perhaps to Shangguan Chuxue: "This thing... is quite useful indeed."
"Well... the time is about right..."
He extended a finger toward the surveillance camera, maliciously saying,
"Next... it's your turn..."
"Miss Shangguan of Wang City."
As the words fell,
Bang!
A burst of energy from his fingertip shot out, shattering the surveillance camera.
On Shangguan Chuxue's end,
Zzzzz—!
She stared at the snowy surveillance screen.
Her usually composed self was now seething with anger.
She stood up, her hand slamming down on the console.
She shrieked in frustration, "Ugh—!!!!!"
"Qin Luo!!!"
"You're asking for death!!!!"
For the first time, Shangguan Chuxue was utterly unraveled by a mere underling.
He could use her poison insect! He could disguise himself! He even knew she was Shangguan Chuxue!
So how many of her people had he turned?!
Her face darkened. Qin Luo hadn't said much, but he had said everything.
With just three sentences, he had made her doubt her own subordinates.
This move... was indeed ruthless.
Qin Luo... Su Muwan...
What a vicious duo...
Next is me?!
Hmph... I'm being hunted, am I?
How laughable! How laughable!
Come at me if you dare!
I'll be waiting for you!!!
Shangguan Chuxue's face was grim.
Su Muwan! I know this was all your doing!
Just you wait!
I will definitely prepare a grand surprise for you!!!
At this moment,
While Su Muwan was in the Su Family villa, counting properties, she suddenly shivered.
???
She looked around suspiciously.
Why did she suddenly have a bad feeling?
