1882 Implicate(Chapter preview)

Wu Lingyu patted her shoulder, "Don't be anxious yet. Let's check out the situation first."

"Mm." Sima You Yue called out a few scarlet bees and got them to follow him silently.

"Tian Ran, do you recognise that person?" You Tian Ran's friend asked when he saw that You Tian Ran was rather disappointed.

"I recognised the wrong person. However, the two of them look really alike. If it wasn't because of their different auras, I really would have thought that they were the same person." You Tian Ran sighed.

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one I told you about before, Murong Xi." You Tian Ran said, "Ever since she left the country suddenly, nobody has seen her. No one knows what's up with those from Vast Region either. People have been hunting them down lately. Earlier on, I thought that the person was Murong Xi and wanted to warn her, but I guess I got it wrong."

"It's strange now that you mention it. Did Vast Region cause some trouble lately? Especially the Duke Manor. It feels like they're killed everytime they leave. Do you guys know why?" Someone asked with puzzlement.

"Who knows why? I've never even met those people."

"I did hear some rumours." A person with a moustache said.

"What? Why don't you tell us?"

"Now that you mention it, it could really be because of that person just now." That man came to the climax of his story. When he saw that everyone was watching him, he finally continued, "You guys know about the time that the Dark Princess went to the Human Realm?"

"Of course. It's because she went to the Human Realm that she was captured back here and we lost all news of her."

"However, this is something that happened so many years ago. What does it have to do with the current situation?"

"News has it that the Young Miss from the Vast Region, who is Murong Xi, looks very similar to the Dark Princess. Furthermore, the Dark Princess has a daughter in the Human Realm as well, who looks very much like Murong Xi. Not only that, but she has a huge grudge with the majority of the people from the Ghost Realm." The Moustache Man said.

"Little Moustache, are your words true?" Everyone knew that he was well up to date with current news, and although they asked him this, they were already well convinced.

"Could it be that the person earlier on was the daughter that the Dark Princess had in the Human Realm?" You Tian Ran was incredibly shocked. However, if that was the case, he had already said that they had different auras.

What he didn't know was that it was not because they were two different people, but that, because of what happened back at Chaos World, Sima You Yue's aura had been influenced by the chaos qi and had changed.

"Since that person is the daughter of the Dark Princess, why would she have grudges with the people from the ghost realm?"

"You guys won't know this! Do you remember what happened at Fair Eastern City?"

"I heard them say that the portal to the Human Realm was reestablished, and that it was broken by someone in the end. Those that went to that side were exterminated. Are you saying that the daughter of the Dark Princess is that human in Fair Eastern City?"

"That's right. She's the one. At that time, we know just how big of an impact that situation was. Now that she's in the ghost realm, you guys tell me. Isn't this a huge deal? Furthermore, Murong Xi looks so much like that woman, who knows whether or not they just look the same or whether they're the same person?" Moustache Man said excitedly. He loved drama, and this would definitely give him a good show.

"So you're saying that those people have gone to cause trouble in Vast Region?" You Tian Ran finally understood.

"The most important thing is, Murong Xi hasn't appeared for a long time, right?" Moustache Man said, "If she takes any longer to appear, it just raises more suspicion. Murong Hui has taken his men to the imperial capital, right?"

"It was on his way to the imperial capital that people hunted him down. Right now, I'm afraid that he hasn't even reached the imperial capital." You Tian Ran said, "The last time I heard the news they were at River City.

River City. Sima You Yue found men to scout for information and they were not very near to River City, nor were they very far. She wondered whether or not he would still be there if she went over.

"Since you're worried, then we can go take a look! Even if he's not there anymore, we can look for traces of him." Wu Lingyu said.

In any case, they were not on a strict schedule. Since they were all headed for the imperial capital, they were going the same way as Murong Hui.

After deciding, they didn't even bother checking out of their rooms before taking the spatial portal directly out of the city. After finding an empty plot of land, they calculated the coordinates based on the map, set up a teleportation array and hurried over.

Just as they anticipated, Murong Hui wasn't there when they arrived, so they had to chase after him based on the information that they could obtain. After setting up a few more teleportation arrays and she was about to exhaust her entire supply of array stones, she had no choice but to find a place to buy array stones to continue chasing after him.

Inside River City, the prices of array stones were exorbitant. This was why she initially took teleportation arrays instead of setting up her own. Right now, in order to look for Murong Hui, she had to use her hard earned savings.

It was a good thing that these were not wasted. She finally managed to catch up to Murong Hui when he was caught in a tricky situation.

At this moment, Murong Hui had led his team and were escaping within Hoard Mountains. Those people came in wave after wave, and they were draining them. They could only keep escaping in a bid for time.

These people had rushed over because of Sima You Yue, he knew that. That was why he did not think of saying anything to them. They wanted him to hand her over, where was he supposed to look for her!

Also, even if he knew where she was, he would never do it. These people were too powerful. If he let them find her, who knows what they would do.

"Murong Hui, we're giving you one last chance. Where is Sima You Yue?" Those who came had chased them into a tiny cave. They had surrounded them on all sides, cutting off all routes of escape.

Murong Hui made preparations long ago for battle to the death, so he was not flustered at this moment.

"I said it earlier before that I don't know who Sima You Yue is. Even if you ask me ten more times, I have no way to hand her over." Murong Hui's expression was solemn, secretly calculating his chances of escape.

"Murong Hui, let's talk openly. Your daughter is merely a piece of trash. How could she have become a genius just a few years later, and even enter the Region Competition as the top ten. Your daughter looks exactly like her, so tell me how likely the chances are?" Those who had come had already researched quite deeply into it.

"My daughter is naturally the best. Since you insist on linking her up with that Sima You Yue, what else is there for me to say?" Murong Hui snorted icily, "If you want someone, there is none. If you want a life, there is one."

"If we can find you, then we're not afraid that Sima You Yue won't be able to!" Those who came snorted as they waved their hands, "Keep Murong Hui alive, kill the rest!"

"Sorry, I've implicated you all! I will hold them back in a moment, try your best to escape!"

"Duke!"

"Master! We will protect you!"

"There's no need to waste words. You guys heard it, they don't want to kill me. You guys have to stay alive!" Murong Hui retorted.

"Hmph, not a single one of you should think of escaping today. All of you attack, don't leave a single one alive!"

Just as both sides were about to start fighting, a crisp voice was heard, "You want to kill me, then kill me. What's the point of messing around like this behind my back?"
