Chapter 977: Fierce Battle! Brother Jiu Takes Action!

After Shadow Thirteen left the palace, he quickly caught up to Zhou Jin. Ye Yang had already been knocked out by Little Gu with a slight Gu poison. Shadow Thirteen first settled him and Zhou Jin in a small uninhabited house near the palace, then went to the Wen Manor to pick up Yu Shaoqing, Grandma, and the others.
They were guests of “Wen Xu” and their personal freedom was not restricted, so they left. By the time the Sorcerer Queen’s guards came, the Wen Manor’s people realized what a huge mistake they had made just now. Unfortunately, they had already run far away.
“Where are they?” After leaving the palace, Yu Wan asked Yan Jiuchao softly.
The two of them had long changed their clothes. They were no longer a young guard and a pregnant woman. They were more like an old couple. Yu Wan had put on a big beard on Yan Jiuchao’s face. At first glance, he looked a little fierce.
Yu Wan was wearing a cloak that covered her bulging stomach. The two of them brazenly walked on the street, but the guards who were searching did not recognize them. A guard held the portrait of the two of them and stopped Yan Jiuchao. “You! It’s you! Stop!”
Yan Jiuchao stopped in his tracks. “What is it?”
The guard walked over with the portrait. “Have you seen these two people?”
“No,” a certain young master said seriously. The guard waved his hand impatiently, indicating for Yan Jiuchao to leave. Yan Jiuchao pulled Yu Wan and left in front of the group of guards with his head held high!
The guards continued to search.
Yan Jiuchao followed the mark left behind by Shadow Thirteen and found the dilapidated courtyard.
This was the slums of the Sorcerer Clan. It was rumored that they had once been cursed by the gods. The people who lived on this street always had inexplicable accidents. In Central Plains language, it was called bad fengshui. Almost all the people who could move away had moved away, leaving only a few families.
Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan did not alarm them when they walked over and successfully entered the courtyard.
The courtyard had already been cleaned by Ping’er, and it could accommodate a person. They had to continue tidying up the place.
Ping’er was a maidservant who had seen the world. She did not ask them what was wrong. They did not live in the perfectly fine Wen Manor and wanted to move to this dilapidated house. She only lowered her head and cleaned up.
“Ah Wan!” Yu Shaoqing waited uneasily for the entire afternoon and finally saw his daughter. The weight on his heart was lifted. He walked forward and selectively ignored his son-in-law. He held his daughter’s hand and said, “Why did you suddenly change the plan? Didn’t they say that after obtaining the Sorcerer King’s tears, they would let Zhou Jin fake his death in the palace and find an opportunity for Dawa to bring Zhou Jin out?”
“The plan can’t keep up with the changes. The Sorcerer King has been imprisoned and is very seriously ill. We can’t get the Sorcerer King’s tears, nor can we take him away. As for Zhou Jin, his situation is more complicated.” Yu Wan told Yu Shaoqing everything about Zhou Jin’s background and the backlash the Sorcerer King had suffered. “In short, it’s unlikely that Zhou Jin’s death can be hidden.”
“I see.” Yu Shaoqing had mixed feelings. He did not have much of a stir about
Zhou Jin’s mother being the Saint King, but the sacrifices made by the Sorcerer King and the Saint King for Zhou Jin really moved him. Most parents in the world doted on their children, but doting was one thing, and sacrificing and betraying without caring about the consequences was another.
Obviously, the Saint King had another motive for infiltrating the Sorcerer Clan back then. However, in the end, she had lost her heart and betrayed her clansmen.
Wasn’t the Sorcerer King the same?
Day after day, year after year, he was imprisoned in the palace, enduring humiliation and pain that ordinary people could not imagine, just to protect Zhou Jin and grow up safely
Perhaps there were also secrets between the Sorcerer King and the Sorcerer Queen that they did not know about. After all, the Sorcerer King did not look like a man who would abandon his lover.
“By the way, Dad, where’s Zhou Jin?” Yu Wan had been in the courtyard for so long, but she had never seen Zhou Jin.
“He’s asleep. He might be exhausted,” Yu Shaoqing said.
“I’ll go see him,” Yu Wan said.
“Go,” Yu Shaoqing said. “I’ve settled the child he brought back next door.
Shadow Six is watching over him.”
“Okay, got it.” Yu Wan nodded and went to Zhou Jin’s room.
Zhou Jin had indeed fallen asleep, but he woke up after a while. He was woken up by a nightmare. The dream was filled with the Sorcerer King’s tragic appearance. The poisonous sores all over his body and his empty and sad eyes were like knives stabbing his heart.
It turned out that he was not as calm as others thought. That was why he was rash and abducted Ye Yang.
“Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin!” Yu Wan gently patted his shoulder.
Zhou Jin regained his consciousness, but he did not turn around. Instead, he buried his head deeper into the pillow.
“If you’re sad, cry.” Yu Wan sat down by the bed and touched his head.
Zhou Jin’s body stiffened. “I… I shouldn’t have brought Ye Yang out.”
Yu Wan smiled. “We have to bring him out sooner or later. It’s either you or us. The original plan no longer works. If we can have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Sorcerer Queen, we can save the Sorcerer King.”
Whether it was for Zhou Jin or the Sorcerer King’s tears, they had to save the Sorcerer King from that cage first.
On the other side, Ye Yang woke up. He knew nothing about his leaving the palace. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a dirty room. He thought he was dreaming and closed his eyes several times to confirm that it was true. Only then did he sit up with a shudder.
“Men!
It was Zhou Jin who came.
Ye Yang was stunned.
Ye Yang was not stupid. From being dumbfounded to confirming that he was in trouble, it only took him a few sips of tea to jump off the bed. He pointed at Zhou Jin’s nose and scolded, “You… you’re a spy! To think that I wanted you to be promoted and rich! You actually schemed against me! Where did you bring me? I’m warning you, I’m the prince of the Sorcerer Clan! My mother is the Sorcerer Queen! My father is the Sorcerer King! If they find out that you kidnapped me, you’re dead meat! Take advantage of my good mood and quickly send me back to the palace!”
Zhou Jin couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He only grabbed his hand and took out a dagger to cut his finger.
Ye Yang was about to deal with Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin suddenly looked into Ye Yang’s eyes. A powerful sorcery power invaded Ye Yang’s head, and Ye Yang felt a pain in his head. “Ah—”
Zhou Jin cut Ye Yang’s finger and forced him to write a blood letter to force the Sorcerer Queen to hand over the Sorcerer King. However, no one expected that before the blood letter could be sent out, the Sorcerer Queen’s guards would come looking for them.
“No way? Why are they so fast!” Old Cui looked at the group of people outside the door and closed the courtyard door with a bang!
Unexpectedly, an iron hand suddenly poked a hole in the courtyard door. It grabbed Old Cui’s neck and tore him down along with the door! Old Cui fell into the hands of this group of people! The guard wearing an iron hand said coldly,
“Hand over His Highness Ye Yang and that child, or I’ll kill him!”
“Help, help, help, help… Help—I‘ Old Cui was almost out of breath.
If Old Cui fell into the other party’s hands, they could use Ye Yang to threaten them to make way. But now, they could only fight their way out.
“Jiuchao, leave with Ah Wan!” Yu Shaoqing pulled out his sword and rushed over without any explanation.
The Iron Hand Guard’s gaze turned cold as he was about to break Old Cui’s neck.
Yu Wan placed the dagger across Ye Yang’s neck. “If you dare to kill him, I’ll kill your Highness! If you don’t believe me, try!”
The Iron Hand Guard’s movements paused. In this short moment of daze, Yu Shaoqing’s sword swung in front of him.
Iron Hand threw Old Cui to a subordinate and fought fiercely with Yu Shaoqing. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for both sides to negotiate rationally. Yan Jiuchao flicked his sleeves and a cold internal energy entered Iron Hand’s shoulder, blocking a killing move that attacked Yu Shaoqing.
“Longevity Technique? Who are you?” Iron Hand covered his numb left shoulder and looked at Yan Jiuchao warily.
“The person who wants your life.” Yan Jiuchao tapped his fingertip and his internal energy shot straight into his heart. Iron Hand didn’t even have time to dodge before he fell to the ground in a daze.
He could clearly deal with the person in one move, but he used two moves. It seemed that the full moon was really coming soon…
However, no one knew that Yan Jiuchao had performed poorly. They were still puzzled that General Iron Hand had actually died so easily in the hands of this stranger. Who exactly was this person? Why did he know a top-notch cultivation technique of the Sorcerer Clan?
Yu Shaoqing planned to pursue the victory, but Yan Jiuchao grabbed his shoulder. “Dad, you guys go first.” With that, he used his internal energy to send Yu Shaoqing back to Yu Wan.
Now was not the time to be polite. Only Young Master could stall them. After they left, it would not be difficult for Young Master to escape alone.
“Master! Let’s leave this place first!” Shadow Thirteen picked up Ye Yang and carried Grandma.
Shadow Six brought Zhou Jin and Mu Qing. Zhou Yuyan brought Ping’er. Yu Shaoqing brought Yu Wan and quickly left the courtyard..
