Chapter 100
You Wuming's lips curled into a cold smile when he heard the news from Yun Xuzhou.
"You're really 'lucky'."
It was not difficult to guess the cause and effect of the incident.
The destruction of Yun Zu Temple and Huangfu Xiong's direct attack on Tiandu finally made Emperor Old Yun realize the crux of the problem — all of this was probably related to You Wuming.
Kang Yanji killed Huangfu Jun and Huangfu Du?
This was absolutely absurd!
Kang Yanji's every move was under the surveillance of the Temple of Heaven. She was not the murderer of Huangfu Jun and Huangfu Du.
Before everything blew up, apart from the Eastern State, no one else knew that two important figures from the Huangfu clan had died, nor did they know that Jiang Yanji had become the scapegoat for these two crimes.
There was no chance for any reaction or explanation.
It was not until Huangfu Xiong's troops arrived at the city that Tiandu realized that its backyard was on fire.
What was ridiculous was that Jiang Yanji even regarded Huangfu Xiong, who had come to her doorstep, as her backer and was relieved to send troops to deal with Yunzhou.
The Old Cloud Emperor thought for a moment and immediately guessed that there was a mastermind behind all of this. The mastermind was extremely sinister and cunning, like a shadow, but step by step, he pushed all the chess pieces to the positions he wanted.
Who else could the mastermind be other than You Wuming?
Therefore, Emperor Old Yun decisively returned to the Temple of Heaven and used the connection between the mirror and the mirror core to investigate You Wuming.
Fortunately, Emperor Old Yun found the most important evidence — the scene of You Wuming killing Huangfu Jun.
Once the scene appeared on the mirror, it could be recorded with the Recording Pearl.
As long as Huangfu Xiong saw You Wuming killing Huangfu Jun, then everything You Wuming had done before would be in vain.
Huangfu Xiong would definitely join hands with Kang Yanji on the spot, mobilize the army, and crush Youzhou!
Sang Yuanyuan and You Wuming looked at the image floating in the mirror, and understood their current situation.
"So Emperor Yun and Jiang Yi took the Recording Pearl and left in a hurry!" Sang Yuanyuan sucked in a few breaths of cold air. For a moment, he felt as if the world had been turned upside down.
"Let's go." You Wuming tilted his head.
In just a few breaths of time, Sang Yuanyuan's back was already covered with cold currents. There was clearly nothing around him, but he could clearly feel a huge shadow looming over his head. His body felt as if it had sunk into a swamp, and a suffocating feeling came from the top of his head. He simply couldn't break free or escape.
Fortunately, You Wuming's big hand on her shoulder was still so firm and strong.
"It's not a dead end yet."
His voice was calm, but his footsteps were swift as if he was flying. With a pair of light wings behind him, he passed through the layers of underground halls of the Heavenly Altar in an instant.
… …
When You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan once again appeared in front of the Imperial Guard's Left Commander Jin Wu, Jin Wu almost fainted.
"Make your choice." You Wuming frowned. "Either you bring me to the frontlines, and I'll kill Kang Yanji.
Or you wait for Kang Yanji to flatten my You Zhou, and then destroy Yun Zhou. "
For Sang Bujin to be so close to Jin Wu, it definitely wasn't just because they had similar temperaments.
Jin Wu and Yun Zhou definitely had a relationship.
"Impossible."
Jin Wu gritted his teeth. "I definitely wouldn't do such a thing. Do you think I'm a coward who's afraid of death like Tao Qisheng?!"
You Wuming smiled faintly. "Everyone knows what kind of person Tao Qisheng is. How could he have the ability to bring me to the frontlines?
Jin Wu, if you don't agree within three breaths, I'll kill you, and you won't have to see Yun Zhou destroyed.
Three … "
The veins on Jin Wu's face bulged, and he finally nodded fiercely.
"Let's go!"
Jin Wu asked You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan to disguise themselves as his personal guards. They rode on cloud beasts and rushed to Fengling City like a whirlwind.
At this moment, Kang Yanji had already arrived at Fengling City. The city gates were wide open, and the empress came out of the city to negotiate with Huangfu Xiong personally.
Kang Yanji insisted that the Recording Pearl be handed over to Huangfu Xiong, and that it didn't have to go through the hands of anyone in Dong Zhou. The Recording Pearl was very fragile, and as long as it was an expert in the Spirit Realm, it could be easily crushed.
Since You Wuming could fool Huangfu Xiong, who knew if there were any of You Wuming's men hiding around him?
Therefore, Kang Yanji insisted that Huangfu Xiong personally come to get it.
Of course, Huangfu Xiong didn't believe Jiang Yanji. She was such a cunning and despicable woman. Maybe she was just bait to catch him!
The two sides were in a deadlock, and there was no conclusion for a while.
There was a reason why Huangfu Xiong was willing to stay here and negotiate with Kang Yanji calmly.
Yesterday, when they were attacking the city, one of his trusted generals was careless and was captured.
Not long ago, this captured general unexpectedly betrayed them. He stood beside Kang Yanji and anxiously told Huangfu Xiong that he had personally seen the Recording Pearl recording the scene of the King of Dong Zhou dying at the hands of You Wuming. He asked Huangfu Xiong not to act rashly and to take a look at the Recording Pearl before making a decision.
This person had been following Huangfu Xiong for many years and wasn't someone who could be bought over so easily.
Therefore, Huangfu Xiong suppressed the urge to attack with all his troops and was willing to talk to Kang Yanji.
Anyway, whether it was true or not, he would know once he saw the Recording Pearl.
However, that b * tch Kang Yanji wasn't willing to hand over the Recording Pearl and insisted that he go and get it himself.
This was going to be interesting.
After a long time, Kang Yanji finally agreed to Huangfu Xiong's request.
Kang Yanji would take the Recording Pearl alone, while Huangfu Xiong would bring two of Dong Zhou's top experts. Three against one, they would meet in the middle of the battlefield.
Huangfu Xiong checked the Recording Pearl on the spot. If it was a trap, the two Dong Zhou experts would attack Kang Yanji and hold her in place. If the two sides started fighting, Kang Yanji would die without a doubt.
If Kang Yanji was telling the truth, Huangfu Xiong would apologize to her and attack You Wuming together.
Kang Yanji actually agreed to such an unfair condition after thinking it over. She was indeed sincere.
… …
When Jin Wu brought You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan to Fengling City, Kang Yanji had already ridden on a Cloud Beast alone and arrived at the great plain between the two armies. Huangfu Xiong also left the army with two top experts. Both sides arrived at the center of the great plain.
You Wuming and Sang Yuanyuan climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance.
They saw Kang Yanji take out the Recording Pearl from a box and hand it to Huangfu Xiong.
Seeing Huangfu Xiong take the pearl, Sang Yuanyuan felt his vision go dark. He was too late. Everything was irreversible.
At this moment, Kang Yanji and Huangfu Xiong were in the middle of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Even someone as strong as You Wuming couldn't turn the situation around.
"Let's go."
You Wuming immediately grabbed Sang Yuanyuan, ran a few steps, jumped off the city wall, and rushed to the south with all his strength.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Kang Yanji and Huangfu Xiong. The disturbance caused by You Wuming jumping off the wall wasn't big and was forcibly suppressed by Jin Wu.
He would definitely be investigated later, but that was a matter of the future.
The Left Commander of the Imperial Guards, who had been greatly indebted to Yunzhou, held onto the battlements. For a moment, his heart felt empty and lonely.
Forget it.
… …
You Wuming's heartbeat was still steady.
He ran with all his strength, and his heavy breaths brushed Sang Yuanyuan's head one after another.
He had to leave the front line as soon as possible!
Once Huangfu Xiong was dealt with, Kang Yanji would breathe a sigh of relief. He would immediately notice that the Left Commander of the Imperial Guards, Jin Wu, was acting strangely. At that time, it would be too late to leave.
"There's going to be a war, right?" Sang Yuanyuan asked softly.
"Are you afraid?" You Wuming's breathing was boiling hot.
"I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with you." She tilted her head to look at him and squeezed out a smile.
At this moment, no one could truly relax and smile.
"If we really fight, we can still hold on for many days." You Wuming said, "It's enough for me to tire you to death in bed.
Little Sang Guo, don't worry. When there's no way out, I'll let you die in joy. "
His eyes and expression clearly told her that he wasn't joking with her.
When he was happiest, he would break her neck.
After sending her away, he would die on the battlefield with the soldiers.
Her lips trembled, and she softly said, "Okay."
In fact, she was more willing to fight with him to the end.
But she knew that if they really reached the end of their road, he definitely wouldn't want her to see him in such a sorry state.
The two of them were wearing the Imperial Guards' uniforms. No one stopped them along the way, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Imperial Palace.
You Wuming suddenly stopped in his tracks. His black eyes rolled around in an extremely slow manner.
"Little Sang Guo.
Do you dare to make a bet? "
"Oh?" She slightly widened her eyes and looked at him.
At this point, did they still have any chips that they could use to make a big bet?
"Life."
You Wuming's eyes slowly turned from left to right, and the light in his narrowed eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Little Sang Guo, I'll bet my life. If I lose, I'll take you with me."
Sang Yuanyuan: "?"
He firmly held her shoulders, and quickly brought her through the Temple of Heaven and the Underground Palace.
Soon, the two of them returned to the front of the Altar.
"Seal that door." He leisurely pointed at the Eight Trigrams Plum Blossom Black Metal Secret Door.
Sang Yuanyuan nodded solemnly. He summoned two particularly ferocious-looking Big Face Flowers, one on the left and one on the right of the door. He pulled out numerous Spirit Containment Vines and completely sealed the door.
"What do you plan to do?" She was rather nervous.
"Resonance." You Wuming's lips curled into a cruel smile.
He strode to the side of the Altar, and pushed the Heaven Evolution Mirror to the side. Then, he used his hand that was burning with black flames to chop left and right a few times, and 'stripped' the Black Metal Cauldron hidden inside.
He glanced at her.
Sang Yuanyuan's heart was thumping. She walked to his side, pursed her lips, and nodded heavily. "I'll be with you.
Dead or alive, take me with you. "
You Wuming suddenly chuckled, and stretched out his fingers to pinch her cheeks. "Little Sang Guo, you have to let me know. When you said those words to me before, were you lying?"
Sang Yuanyuan: "Oh.
You exposed yourself again. "
When she was first forced to be with him, she had used many vows of undying love to fool him.
He wrapped his hands behind his head, and kissed her heavily.
Sang Yuanyuan opened her lips very naturally, and revealed her softest and warmest feelings to him.
They had been together for a long time, but his breath was still able to easily stir the lake in her heart, causing her to feel flustered and short of breath, and her fingertips to tremble uncontrollably.
"Sang Guo, if I fail, I'll bring fire and fuck you until you die."
Until you die. "He used his forehead to touch hers and said with incomparable savagery.
Sang Yuanyuan was startled for a while. "… Sounds very exciting!"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Not really.
I'm actually looking forward to it a little. "
He let go of her, lowered his long eyes, and glared at her. "Little Sang Guo, your taste is too heavy!
Even when you're with me, you should be a little more reserved! "
Sang Yuanyuan: "… Husband, you don't want to?"
"Pfff!" He seemed to have completely relaxed.
"Alright, I'm going to start.
This daughter-in-law really doesn't make me feel at ease. "
He muttered, and pressed a hand burning with black flames on top of the cauldron.
The raging flames climbed down from the bottom of the cauldron, crawled to the mouth of the cauldron on the ground, and then swayed into the cauldron.
Sang Yuanyuan nervously watched him.
She suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
Resonance.
Forces were intertwined.
He wanted to use his own black flames, and use resonance to send them into the giant underground cauldron!
If he succeeded, then his black flames would be magnified tens of thousands of times, and he would be able to refine and seize the seven-colored power in the giant underground cauldron.
This way, he would obtain a terrifying amount of power in the shortest amount of time possible.
But if he did this, wouldn't it trigger an even more terrifying wave of underworld demons?
She sucked in a long breath of cold air, and looked at You Wuming in horror.
Although it was a dead end, what was the difference between doing this and the Temple of Heaven?
Her gaze carried a bit of panic and disbelief, and fell on You Wuming's face.
After being startled for a moment, her mood suddenly calmed down.
She understood the man she fell in love with.
He wasn't a good person, but he was definitely a man with a bottom line and principles.
If this move didn't succeed, then so be it. But if it succeeded, then he must have already made plans and thought of a way out.
At this moment, he closed his eyes, and was going all out.
Quiet and beautiful.
Sang Yuanyuan sucked in a deep breath, and carefully summoned many large-faced flowers to surround her. If he failed, she would do her best to put out the fire.
In her dictionary, there was no such thing as sitting and waiting for death. Even if she was pressed on the chopping board, she would still use all her strength to struggle.
She nervously watched You Wuming, paying attention to the slightest change in his expression, so that she could react immediately.
What she didn't expect was that the fire would come so fiercely.
It was too sudden!
She wasn't prepared at all!!
In that moment of distraction, the originally quiet and beautiful You Wuming with black brows, white face, and red lips suddenly became a burning man!
The rainbow-colored flame ignited from his body with a rumble, burning his entire body from the inside out.
The black iron cauldron made extremely low and muffled sounds under his palm, already unable to bear the burden.
Sang Yuanyuan instantly felt a chill from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
In her heart and mind, there was only one word left: It's over.
Come to think of it, how much rainbow-colored power would there be in that gigantic cauldron with a diameter of one thousand five hundred kilometers underground!
The black flame in the small cauldron resonated, magnified by millions of times, and ignited in the gigantic cauldron. How terrifying of a backlash would You Wuming have to endure?!
Sang Yuanyuan's brain reacted one step faster than her body.
She threw herself at him and hugged him.
In that instant, she felt as if her body and soul were being burned through by the rainbow-colored flame.
Instinctively, she turned all her spiritual essence into sweet dew, and desperately sprinkled it on his burning body.
In this raging flame, her and You Wuming's hearts were completely connected.
She clearly felt his tenacity and unyielding will.
Although he had been completely burned by the seven-colored flames, he did not have the slightest intention of giving up. His will was like his blade, straight and indomitable. Under the tempering of the blazing flames, it became red and transparent, but he did not have the slightest intention of retreating.
Unless he was burned to ashes!
Her spiritual sense was like a vine, entangling him.
The iron-like saber caused her to want to die from the pain.
Being tortured by the flame, her heart, which felt as if it had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, calmed down instead.
That was good.
She could accompany him. Whatever he did, she would also do.
She was afraid that she could only watch helplessly, powerless to share his burden.
She turned herself into a sugar cane, desperately squeezing out her cool juice to help him cool down.
[Little Sang Guo, you said you can't squeeze dry.
You dared to lie to me, you're dead.]
You Wuming's spiritual sense moved extremely slowly.
[Can't you say something nice at a time like this?]
She used all of herself to tightly stick to him.
[Okay, I'll say it later.]
His spiritual sense seemed to carry a smile.
[?]
Sang Yuanyuan could no longer tell whether she was dead or alive.
The only thought in her mind was to use all of her strength to tightly stick to him, and depend on him for survival.
Towards the end, she didn't care about the spiritual essence anymore. The flame itself became a part of her body and soul.
Perhaps it was the water that ignited the flame, or perhaps the flame itself became water.
Who knew?
She only knew that You Wuming was the same as her, using all of their strength to keep the two of them alive.
This was a true battle side by side.
From the hands of the God of Death, they seized an invisible chance of survival.
Under the torment of this maddening pain, the length of time was already imperceptible.
It seemed as if a second had passed, but also as if ten thousand years had passed.
[You Wuming, I still haven't told you that I love you.]
[Little Sang Guo!
Here comes the good news — we've succeeded!]
[?!]
In the next instant, Sang Yuanyuan felt an extremely cool and enormous power rush straight into her mind.
Her body and soul that had been numbed by the burning pain instantly recovered, like a completely burnt piece of wood that had suddenly shed all of its charred skin and sprouts burst forth.
Her mind shook, and she found that her soul had arrived in the boundless black iron cauldron. An aura that was fiercer than the flames, firmer than fine iron, and thicker than the earth tightly wrapped around her.
She knew that this was her lover.
And she was like a soft, cool liquid little sun that seeped out strands of incomparably flexible water branches, tightly entangling with him, unable to distinguish between you and me.
[Little Sang Guo, do you want to know the secret inside? I'll take you to see it.]
You Wuming's spiritual sense returned to its usual lazy and careless state.
His mind flew.
Within the cauldron, the cool green black flame had already gained the upper hand, and was madly swallowing and expelling the seven-colored flame.
He took her and quickly circled around the outline of the black iron cauldron.
[Let me make up for your regret from last time, curious fruit.]
His voice was lazy and irritating.
[Isn't it just a cauldron? It's exactly the same as the small cauldron outside.]
Sang Yuanyuan replied indifferently.
She let herself go, empty and lazy, snuggling up to him, with an expression that said 'everything is empty'.
[Heh.]
You Wuming chuckled, wrapped her up, and jumped straight down from the top of the cauldron.
[Hiss —]
Although she was in her spiritual sense state, Sang Yuanyuan still felt a wave of shock.
Her entire soul was about to explode!
This feeling of falling from such a high altitude, without any training, was really a bit unbearable for a while. The key point was that she didn't even have a physical body right now, she was just a naked soul, and it felt like she was bungee jumping without wearing any clothes (?).
Sang Yuanyuan was even more confused by her own imagination.
Just as she couldn't take it anymore and softly asked him to slow down, You Wuming's aura suddenly circled around her, leisurely landing beside a huge transparent object.
It was composed of pure rainbow-colored light.
Just like the sun, the pure and dense rainbow-colored light intertwined, looking like a gentle and harmless transparent white light.
It was extremely dense, and at a glance, one could tell that it was fundamentally different from ordinary matter.
It seemed to be extremely soft, but also extremely hard.
You Wuming brought her down.
Her mind was completely seized by this transparent light, and for a moment, she forgot the discomfort of weightlessness, only staring blankly at it.
Those rainbow-colored lights came from it.
This thing, looked like it had nothing to do with the word 'evil' at all.
[It's like the core of the world, extremely beautiful.]
Sang Yuanyuan muttered.
You Wuming seemed to be holding back his laughter.
He quickly brought her to the bottom of the cauldron.
[Can't you see?
This is a phalanx.]
A phalanx suspended in mid-air.
The inverted cauldron covered it.
Sang Yuanyuan was shocked, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react.
You Wuming's consciousness carried a smile.
[It's time to get down to business, Little Sang Guo.]
He brought her up, and stopped at the edge of the huge triangular gap.
Countless Nether Demons were still climbing in, and falling into the endless abyss.
Because You Wuming had activated the rainbow-colored flames, the Nether Demons' actions had clearly become much crazier.
Sang Yuanyuan already understood. The Nether Demons were chasing after that 'phalanx'. Smelling its scent, they climbed up the cliff of the Nether Abyss, crawled into every tunnel of the abyss, found the gap on the cauldron, and jumped towards that transparent phalanx — — falling to the bottom of the abyss, turning into a small cloud of rainbow-colored steam.
Once the rainbow-colored flames wrapped around the 'phalanx' were stirred, it was like the clouds parting to see the sun, and the bone was exposed, causing the Nether Demons to go crazy.
Sang Yuanyuan didn't know how to feel for a moment.
At this moment, the walls of the cauldron were covered with black flames, and the Nether Demons that rushed into the cauldron from the triangular gap were instantly burned to ashes by the black flames.
You Wuming's consciousness became cold and scorching.
Sang Yuanyuan knew that he was about to start a massacre.
Just like him on the battlefield, his heart was cold, and his blood was boiling.
The black flames were like whirlwinds, spinning and burning from the bottom of the abyss, climbing towards the triangular gap connected to the abyss — — At this moment, the speed of the two's consciousness was fast, and it covered a wide area, enough for them to detect the structure and shape of the cauldron's interior.
There were a total of nine triangular gaps, and they were like belts, wrapping around the cauldron.
After a short while, this black flame storm surged out of the nine triangular gaps!
Wherever the surging flames swept, all demons and monsters would be wiped out!
Looking at the flames surging out of the gaps, Sang Yuanyuan was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
Igniting the rainbow-colored energy in the cauldron, and using it to deal with the Nether Demons?
You Wuming is really a genius.
[Borrowing strength to fight strength?
You Wuming, you're too powerful!]
There was a hint of mischief in his consciousness: [Little Sang Guo.
This is called using one's spear to attack another's shield.
What a contradictory story, I know.]
Sang Yuanyuan: […]
He had really misunderstood her. She had never thought of him as an illiterate, really.
[Time to go!]
Sang Yuanyuan only felt herself being hugged tightly in his arms, so tightly that she couldn't breathe.
In the blink of an eye, her mind returned to her body. Hugging him, she stood beside the black metal cauldron.
For a moment, she forgot how to speak with her mouth.
[You Wuming, You Wuming …]
She stared at him blankly, her eyes unblinking.
You Wuming laughed.
"Silly Guo, can't you speak?" He lowered his head and kissed her lips heavily.
Sang Yuanyuan: "… Mmm."
After a while, she asked blankly, "Right now, are we already very, very powerful?
Can the two of us destroy their million-strong army? "
You Wuming almost suffered internal injuries from laughing.
"Of course," he said lightly. "Lie down, dream, extinguish."
Sang Yuanyuan: "…"
He casually burned the cauldron that used to be thrown away into a puddle of molten iron.
The Heaven Evolution Mirror was not destroyed. It was only broken into pieces. He wrapped it in a piece of silk cloth and carried it on his back.
"You Wuming, You Wuming, You Wuming!" She chased after him.
"Mm." He glanced at her.
"How many can you fight now?"
He stopped and thought seriously for a while. "I can't say."
The black flames had already ignited all the seven-colored flames in the cauldron, but refining it would take a long time.
What was certain was that his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds from this moment on until all the seven-colored flames in the cauldron were consumed.
A large portion of the flames flowed through the nine triangular openings and into the abyss. Nether demons would die if they touched it.
This way, the pressure on the Great Wall would be greatly reduced. Without any worries, they could fight with the enemy!
Sang Yuanyuan understood the heavy responsibility under this handsome face.
"You Wuming, I seem to have comprehended a new skill!"
The layer of spiritual light that was like flowing water was doing its best to protect his safety.
"Let me see!" He raised his eyebrows, looking like he was about to give her a name for her new skill.
Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Politely declined.
After a while, she said in a muffled voice, "I don't know how chaotic it is outside.
If Kang Yanji and Huangfu Xiong joined forces to attack you, why didn't A 'gu send any news? "
You Wuming was stunned. He slowly raised his head and looked to the north.
The Memory Spiritual Pearl had clearly been sent to Huangfu Xiong.
Why was there no movement?
