He looked extremely enraged and he looked at Sima You Yue with boundless hatred. He couldn’t wait to tear into her flesh and drink her blood. However, Sima You Yue didn’t have the slightest impression of him.
“If you want to kill me, you should have brought a lot more people.” Sima You Yue said, “With so little of them, I won’t even have enough to pick my teeth.”
“Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence…”
“Pfft- pfft- pfft-”
“Bang- Bang-”
The steward had yet to finish speaking when all he saw was a black shadow flash past him. Everyone that he brought had their throats slit and were lying on the ground behind him.
“Just this little bit of power and you dare to come here? Tsk tsk, you really are bold!” Huan flashed in front of him and before he could react, he felt a cold sensation on his neck and could only watch blankly as his blood spurted out.
His eyes were wide, not daring to believe that he was looking at his own fresh blood. He stretched forth both hands to try and stem the flow but it was useless. His blood continued to spill out through the cracks between his fingers.
The speed of which his life passed by finally let him understand at the end that he had been killed even before he managed to do anything. Furthermore, the lady that he so detested did not even lift a finger.
After Huan had finished them all off, he lit a fire and burnt all of the corpses. Even the blood in the dirt had been scrubbed off. It didn’t look like anyone had died there at all.
The flying beast saw that its steward had been killed and lay on the ground, trembling nonstop. When it sensed the few silhouettes drawing near it, it stuffed its head into the ground, not daring to come up.
It was so scared, sob sob sob!
Sima You Yue watched it act this way and pursed her lips. Why did she feel like this flying beast was a little easy to tease?
“Relax, I will not kill you for now. Just obediently take us to Great Bear City and you will be able to return back alive. Otherwise, I will send you to accompany your steward.”
When that big bird heard what she said, it lifted its head up happily. Its fluffy head was still covered with dirt..
“If you don’t clean yourself up right now, I’m going to turn you into a roasted bird!” Sima You Yue threatened it.
“Screech-”
The flying beast immediately disappeared from before her, much quicker than it had flown in the day.
For the next few days, the flying beast was obedient and did not bring any more trouble to them. The flying beast obediently told Sima You Yue what its earlier instructions were. Sima You Yue let it fly according to the original plan.
If they didn’t fly according to the original plan, how would those people know which route she would take?!
Today, she was surrounded again.
“This time, let me.” Black Shadow spoke. He didn’t even waste a single second speaking with them before acting.
Those people were still prepared to show off in front of Sima You Yue and revel in her terror. However, before they managed to say a thing, they were exterminated.
The flying beast saw that Black Shadow was so powerful and inwardly rejoiced. It was a good thing that it had told them everything, otherwise it would have been killed.
“Young Miss, these people are lame. Can’t they send stronger men?” Black Shadow complained once he returned.
“This is just the beginning. Very few people have gotten wind of the news. Also, we’re far away. Once things reach a later stage, it will be time for you to act.” Sima You Yue didn’t think that it would stay this way throughout. The more time progressed, the stronger the people they would encounter.
If it was just like this and it was just the few of them, it would not be easy to manage. Furthermore, once there were many of them, Huan and Black Shadow would not be able to act easily.
“Young Miss, before we left, my King said that we had to ensure your safety at the cost of all else.” Black Shadow told her what Hades had instructed them, changing the meaning of what he said.
Huan nodded as well, expressing his agreement. The King had given them more power precisely for this, right?
“Relax. I’m here!” Wu Lingyu held her across her shoulders and said gently.
Sima You Yue had never seen Wu Lingyu act personally and had no idea how powerful he was. However, she believed in him. Since he told her to relax, she had no need to worry.
When they arrived at Great Bear City, she thought that she would once again hear that their teleportation array was broken. She didn’t expect that it would be fully functioning. It was just that it didn’t take them to that many places.
The other party heard her say that she wanted to go to the nearest city and, after collecting a large sum of money, let them enter the teleportation array.
Once she exited, she realised that, perhaps, it would have been better if the teleportation array was broken…
When they came out from space, they arrived in some unknown wild area. Furthermore, it was even one with many underworld beasts. When she heard the cries from all over the mountains, she felt like they might have fallen into some underworld beast’s nest.
Just as those underworld beasts were about to attack, Wu LIngyu opened a spatial portal and they disappeared in front of the underworld beasts.
By the time they appeared, they were in the nearest city. When they entered the city to scout for information, they found that they had gotten closer to the imperial capital. Hence, the other party didn’t send them in the opposite direction.
It was just that they never thought that those underworld beasts would be so useless and that Wu Lingyu would be able to directly take everyone out of there.
This city was the closest city to Imperial City. Sima You yue initially wanted to take the teleportation directly there. However, when she saw that long winding queue, she felt like it wasn’t too possible to leave this place.
As expected, when she went to inquire, the steward of the teleportation array directly took out a wooden tablet and said, “Three days later, take this and queue up.”
“Three days? Such a long time?”
The steward raised his head and glanced at them. Then, he rubbed his little beard and pointed at those in the queue, saying, “See those people? They came to queue up four days ago. There are still three days worth of people in front of you!”
Everyone fell silent. There were actually so many people who wanted to use the teleportation array that the queue was three days long.
“I say, do you want to queue up or not? If not, then get lost. There are still many queuing up being you…”
Sima You Yue paid the fees, took the wooden tablet and left. The steward hooked his finger at the person beside him, getting the person to take over him before he left…
Because of the three day wait, they had to look for an inn to stay in. They planned to use the three days to walk around the city and to see whether or not to recruit some bees.
However, before they recruited their bees, they bumped into an acquaintance.
“Young Miss Murong.” You Tian Ran saw Sima You Yue and hurried over.
Sima You Yue did not know many people in the underworld, but she still remembered this guy, You Tian Ran. He had lost to her, and he had even lost open-heartedly.
However, she had no intentions to reminisce with him. Instead, she asked, ‘Did you call out to me?”
“Young Miss Murong, do you not remember? I am You Tian Ran!”
“Sorry, I don’t believe we’ve met before?”
“Are you not Murong Xi?” You Tian Ran looked at her quizzically. It was obviously the same face, but this foreign feeling made him feel like they were different people.
“Murong Xi? Who is that?”
“I thought that you were someone that I knew, and wanted to tell you that someone is hunting down those from Vast Region. It turns out that I recognised the wrong person. My apologies, goodbye.” You Tian Ran said as he turned around to leave.
Sima You Yue’s expression remained the same but she turned solemn.
Something happened to the people from Vast Region?
