As the Universe Turns - Chapter 824
Chapter 824 Rescue
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Qianluo slowly raised his head and looked at the ice-cold woman slowly approaching. There was no panic in his eyes. He whispered, “You can’t defeat Childe Xiao, so you grabbed me and used me as a threat to set a trap. Unfortunately … you’re wrong, he won’t come to save me …”
“Shut up.”
The red-clothed woman’s eyes were cold. She stretched out her hand and grabbed her throat. She looked at her coldly as if she had a deep hatred. “Do you know who I am” she said coldly.
“Hmph” Qianluo smiled coldly and said disdainfully, “Those people outside are afraid of you. You must be the daughter of the Beigong Clan.”
“Not bad …”
This red-clothed woman was the fourth young miss of Beigong Changfeng’s bloodline. Bei Gong Ruoqing said as she slowly let go of Qianluo. “As a prisoner, you were sealed with all your strength and were able to maintain such calm. You have some ability, but aren’t you afraid at all?”
“Afraid?”
Qianluo still sneered at her, “How much do you know about what I experienced? If I were scared, I would have already died …”
Bei Gong Ruoqing glared at her coldly and said fiercely, “Then you will definitely be scared next. I mean, definitely … Do you know why I came in?”
“Hmph …”
Qianluo still sneered, but her expression was not the slightest bit afraid. She looked into her eyes and said, “Your gaze at this moment is extremely similar to the ferocious wolf whose companion was hunted down. It is filled with resentment and anger …”
“That’s right …” Bei Gong Ruoqing glared at her fiercely, “Your companion, that Xiao, he killed my third brother …”
“Oh?”
Qianluo smiled coldly, “Childe Xiao will never take the initiative to kill anyone. Since he was killed, then it must be you who provoked him. Do your own sins, don’t live …”
“What did you say …”
At this moment, Bei Gong Ruoqing’s eyes became even colder and more frightening. Qianluo still sneered. She looked at her pair of angry eyes and said word by word, “I said, do your own sins, you can’t …”
“Pa!”
Without waiting for her to finish, Bei Gong Ruoqing slapped her in the face heavily. When the people outside heard the noise, they were all shocked. The two disciples wanted to go in and stop them, but the other two quickly pulled them back. They shook their heads and gestured for silence, indicating that they should not interfere with the matters of the fourth young miss, so as not to cause trouble for themselves in the future. Quan pretended that he could not hear or see anymore.
Inside the stone hall, a wisp of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of Qianluo’s mouth. She smiled coldly and slowly raised her head again. With a “bah” sound, she spat on Bei Gong Ruoqing’s face.
“Bitch” Bei Gong Ruoqing was even angrier. She slapped her face fiercely again, and her eyes flashed with cold light. She looked like a fierce wolf in the middle of the night.
Qianluo smiled coldly and looked at her, “If it weren’t for the fact that my entire body’s strength was sealed, I would have killed you now. It would be as easy as crushing an ant to death. If you have the ability, then kill me …”
Seeing her cold eyes at this moment, Bei Gong Ruoqing couldn’t help but shiver. She originally thought that she was a weak woman, but she didn’t expect that she was actually a thorny rose. She said coldly, “Do you think I don’t dare …”
“Then make your move …”
Qianluo still glared fiercely at her, There was not the slightest trace of fear on his face. Bei Gong Ruoqing wanted to scare her. Perhaps she had miscalculated. Back then, she had killed for Dao Wuwei and went to the Life and Death Alliance. In the end, she had killed Dao Wuwei and was pursued by the people of the Immortal Alliance. If it was a weak woman, she would have died a long time ago. Only when Xiao Chen was by her side would she reveal a weak side. She was stronger than anyone else.
“What, don’t you dare …”
Qianluo looked at her and smiled coldly, “Yes, if you really have the ability, why would you use me as a threat to do such a despicable thing? It seems that one of the legendary six ancient races is nothing more than that. Compared to those ruthless people in Tomb of Gods and Demons, it is far from that. Hahaha …”
“Let’s see how long you can keep your mouth shut …”
Bei Gong Ruoqing’s eyes were cold as she suddenly took out a small black cauldron from her sleeve. However, she saw that black mist was wrapped around the cauldron and strands of strange black smoke were slowly emerging from it.
“This Ten Thousand Gu Cauldron has been cultivating for a long time. Today, I will use you to test the Gu …”
Bei Gong Ruoqing smiled coldly and opened the Gu Cauldron. Black smoke filled the cauldron. When she saw the dense Gu insects inside, Qianluo’s face finally turned slightly pale.
Bei Gong Ruoqing sneered, “What? Do you finally know how to be scared? I told you, I will definitely make you feel scared …”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pointed her fingers at Qianluo and pulled the Gu towards his body. A thin wisp of black smoke instantly landed on Qianluo’s neck and drilled into him.
“Uh …”
Qianluo let out a muffled snort. Her forehead was already covered in cold sweat. She coldly looked at Bei Gong Ruoqing and said, “You little bugs are also worthy of being called Gu. I’m afraid you haven’t seen the real Gu in this world …”
“Is that so …”
This time, Bei Gong Ruoqing smiled instead of being angry, “In a few more days, you will know what it means to devour the heart of a Myriad Gu. Life is worse than death. Even if he rescues you, you will not be able to live. I want him to personally watch you die in pain, your entire body festering, but there is nothing you can do. Haha, not to mention, you can’t leave, you will all die here …”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Gong Ruoqing put away the Gu Cauldron and sneered coldly. She turned around and went outside. After a long time, the stone hall slowly regained its deathly silence. Only the sound of water dripping from the corner of the wall rang out in the darkness.
Qianluo’s face was still a little pale as he lowered his head and muttered to himself, “Childe Xiao … you mustn’t come …”
In her heart, she knew that Beigong Clan had definitely laid a trap for herself, using herself as bait to drag Xiao Chen into the trap.
At this moment, she was very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she hoped that Xiao Chen would not come to save her, so as not to fall into Beigong Clan’s trap. On the other hand, she also wanted to see Xiao Chen come to save her, save her. Even if it had nothing to do with romance, it meant that she cared about her life and death that she had experienced together …
…
Three days later, the entire Wushuang City was still calm and peaceful. There was not the slightest hint of the atmosphere between Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Clan that was filled with rain. Even in front of some restaurants and shops, there were still endless carriages and horses coming and going.
However, the calmer the water, the more turbulent the undercurrents were. When night fell, Xiao Chen had already changed his clothes and sneaked into the underground prison where Qianluo was restricted.
Actually, he had already sneaked into Wushuang City last night. However, during this period, he needed to figure out where Luo Die was being held and the layers of restrictions in the dungeon. In order to prevent Luo Die from getting hurt or being moved, he could only choose to sneak in.
Of course, he knew that things would not be that simple. From last night when he entered the city to now when he had sneaked into the dungeon, everything seemed to have gone smoothly.
A moment later, he quietly arrived at the stone hall where Luo Die was locked down. His profound strength shook and immediately knocked out the eight disciples of Beigong Clan.
Afterwards, he arrived in front of the stone door and struck it with his palm. Inside the stone hall, Qianluo heard a noise and raised her head. Although in her mind, she had fantasized about the scene when Xiao Chen came to save her countless times, after seeing it with her own eyes, her heart still trembled. He really came …
Xiao Chen did not say a word as he walked straight in. His two fingers condensed, and with a “bang bang bang”, he cut off the iron handcuffs that locked her. Qianluo only felt her body soften and fell forward. Xiao Chen extended his hand to support her. She was still the same as before, and her appearance did not change at all. However, his hair was already white.
“Childe Xiao …”
Qianluo’s eyes were filled with tears. Although Xiao Chen didn’t say a word at this moment, this was the Xiao Chen she knew. This time, nothing could be wrong.
