Along the way, he saw the servants pouring out their blood, the fruits of the wild crabapple forest were all over the ground, his guards were still searching the forest, the horses' hooves had trampled on the red fruits, the fruit juice splattered everywhere, mixed with the smell of blood, swept up by the mountain wind, gushing into his nose with all the strength they could muster.

Yu Yan saw the two female servants that had been serving her for the past few days, and they fell on the ground in the courtyard.

She felt a little sad. What was wrong with these servants? However, her life was a bit sad. She was only sent to wait upon her, but she ended up losing her life just like that.

"Prince, something is not right." Nie Shuangcheng walked over quickly, looked around and said softly.

Yulixiao did not make a sound, with only one hand, he hugged Yu Yan tightly and unfurled the map in his other hand.

The detailed route down the mountain and the various mechanisms were drawn on the map. Yesterday, Yu Tianqi had announced to the world that he would establish Yu Yan as the successor. In the evening, there was a secret letter sent to him by someone, it was the detailed explanation of the mechanisms and the map of the Clouds Mountain. Going up the mountain was different from going down the mountain. After the way up the mountain was destroyed, there was only one other way down.

This was very risky, but if one did not dare take this risk, then they would not be Yulixiao!

Mo Tong slightly narrowed his eyes, gave the map to Nie Shuangcheng, and said in a deep voice, "Go back the way you came."

Nie Shuangcheng immediately put his finger into his lips and whistled, like the sharp whistle of an eagle.

The scattered guards immediately turned back, their armor coated with a layer of cold moonlight, the blood-stained blades in their hands emitting a chilling glow.

Yulixiao threw Yu Yan onto his horse, and also jumped up, with a wave of his finger, everyone turned back on their way back.

After walking for more than a mile, Yulixiao had not spoken a single word to Yu Yan. The sound of her low and deep breathing hit the back of Yu Yan's head, and at first it was very hot, but soon after, waves of coldness seeped into her scalp. Her wet long hair stuck to her back, soaking his chest and back completely.

"Prince, I …" She wanted to break the silence, to ease the uncomfortable atmosphere, to loosen the grip of his hand on her waist.

Yulixiao did not let her finish speaking, his fingers patted her waist.

Yu Yan turned her head to look at him. On her calm face, not a single emotion could be seen, and it was impossible for her to know what he was thinking.

The two owls stuck their round heads out of the thick branches and cooed a few times. Their eyes were bright and their wings flapped as they flew from one branch to the other.

Yu Yan suddenly felt pain on her waist, and the strength of the hand Yulixiao was pressing on her waist increased, to the point that it could break her slender waist.

The branches and leaves in the surroundings trembled slightly, and the shields in the guards' hands were raised high at almost the same time, forming a solid barrier. The crossbow arrows were like raindrops, hitting the shields densely.

Several large pits suddenly appeared on the ground. The guards wanted to push their horses forward, but the dark floor's thick iron thorns penetrated their hands, and long and sharp thorns came flying from all directions …

The simultaneously activating seven or eight types of mechanisms made it impossible for Yulixiao's people to guard against them, and more than half of them were instantly killed.

When they went up the mountain, they had already destroyed all the traps. Yulixiao had decided to go back the way he came because he was afraid that there would be tricks on the way down, but he didn't expect there to be a second trap waiting for them along the way.

This was clearly luring him up the mountain, wanting to make him stay here.

"Yulixiao, surrender. You can't get out."

Yu Tianqi's low voice came from the front, like a call from hell. After a short pause, he said:

"Little Qing Yu, I'll help you kill him. You must fulfill your promise and marry me later."

Yulixiao's grip on Yu Yan's waist tightened, and at the same time, a gentle voice came out from the front, it was Yu Yan's voice.

"Then why isn't the emperor making a move yet?"

From the shield, he could see that there was a woman sitting in Yu Tianqi's embrace. Her face was covered with a light veil, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She was wearing the exact same phoenix robe as Yu Yan.

Yu Yan heard the voice and froze. Just as she was about to dismount to take a look, a huge net fell from the sky, covering her and pulling her into the air.

At this moment, the veil on the woman's face fluttered away. It was an unfamiliar woman. Yulixiao's figure was still in the air, but the rain of arrows once again attacked crazily.

"He has really improved!" Yulixiao escaped another wave of rain and arrows. After retreating to his shield, he stared coldly at Yu Tianqi and the lady in his embrace.

The net bounced up right at this moment, and threw Yu Yan out, directly into Yu Tianqi's embrace. Yu Tianqi threw the woman in his embrace onto the shield, reached out and caught the fallen Yu Yan, then hugged him tightly before quickly retreating, loudly saying, "Little Cyan Fish is determined to advance and retreat with me, big brother you should just surrender. I think on behalf of my brothers, if I leave you with your life, you can return to your valley to recuperate quietly."

"Yu Tianqi, you …" Yu Yan was angry, Yu Tianqi had actually taken advantage of her again! But she did not curse, Yu Tianqi had pointed out her mute acupoint!

Lowering his head to look at her eyes which were red with anger, Yu Tianqi saw that there was a bit of pain in her eyes. He then pursed his lips and waved his right hand, signalling the guards to attack with all their strength.

He had been delayed by the empress dowager for an entire day. By the time he found out about the news, the scout had already sent word that Yulixiao had already set off directly for Clouds Mountain.

He could only seize this opportunity to kill Yulixiao. The empress dowager's stern expression filled her head, and her words echoed in her mind time and time again — — If you don't kill him, you will never think of thinking of Yu Yan. Women only love the strongest person!

"You bastard! "Other than using me, what else do you have …" Yu Yan struggled in his embrace and cursed angrily in his heart.

Yu Tianqi used one hand to pin her face down, and with a tug, she forced her small face to be pulled towards him. When he lowered his head, he forcefully pouted his lips that were filled with anger.

Yu Yan clenched her teeth tightly, and his hand stretched towards her chest … Her eyes widened and her lips finally parted in horror at his gesture. He took the opportunity to suck her lower lip, greedily sucking the sweetness from her lips.

"The Lord accepts it."

Nie Shuangcheng threw the shield in his hand forward, the blade in his hand became a shield of light and shadow, pouncing forward, using his own body to block in front of Yulixiao.

The light in the corner of Yulixiao's eyes swept towards the two people who were kissing on the other side. The long sword in his hand trembled, releasing a dragon's roar, and his body quickly pounced out, piercing straight towards Yu Tianqi and Yu Yan.

This direct attack had completely disrupted the formation of arrows, not caring about the rain of arrows. Yu Tianqi's orders were to follow Yulixiao with the arrow, but at the moment, he was rushing towards Yu Tianqi, and the crossbowmen did not even dare to shoot another arrow, as they were afraid of harming Yu Tianqi.

In a blink of an eye, Yulixiao was already a few steps away from Yu Tianqi. Both of his feet stepped on the guard's shoulder, and borrowing the force, he thrusted the sword forward.

Seeing that it was about to hit Yu Yan, his eyes darkened, the strength in his hand did not decrease, and continued to fiercely stab.

Yu Yan felt a wave of despair. He had said before that if she dared to betray him, he would definitely kill her …

"How dare you hurt her!" Yu Tianqi pushed Yu Yan away with her palm, but was unable to dodge in time, the long sword pierced his shoulder, causing blood to spurt out, staining Yu Yan's face.

Yulixiao was forced to retreat a few steps, and lowered his head to look at Yu Yan who had fallen to the ground. Until now, she hadn't said a single word, completely ignoring him!

Yulixiao's anger had been completely aroused, and he had thrown everything down to look for her, yet she had teamed up with Yu Tianqi! His thoughts could be considered to have been for nothing!

The cold killing intent in Mo Tong's eyes made Yu Yan feel as if she had fallen into a cold abyss. She knew that if she didn't run now, she would really lose her life! She steeled her heart and rolled a few times on the ground. She hid behind a huge banyan tree, crawled up and ran forward.

Yu Tianqi's guards would not stop her, instead, they made her run far away in a single breath. When he turned around to look, the thick smell of blood had already spread all the way to the place where the trap was shrouded in moonlight, making her feel nauseous.

She covered her mouth and continued to rush forward. After ten steps, her body became light and she quickly jumped up – she stepped on the mechanism, and a rope wrapped around her ankle, causing her to hang upside down on a tree!

Unlucky!

Yu Yan paid her respects to the person who set up this mechanism for eight generations in her heart. Just as she was about to lose her patience, a chill ran from the bottom of his feet all the way to his head. The blood that was flowing backwards seemed to have been boiled, it was so hot that she was about to explode. She saw an archer standing beneath her, holding his longbow high as he slowly pulled the bowstring toward her.

The person was wearing clothes on Yu Tianqi's side, it seemed like he was one of Yu Tianqi's men! Yu Yan quickly calculated in her heart that the empress dowager probably didn't want him to stay with her …

The archer's eyes flashed with a vicious light, the bow string was about to shoot out from the tip of the bow, a ray of light flashed past his throat, seeing the bloody scene, Yu Yan immediately vomited.

At this moment, the shadow of a person flashed through the forest and did not appear.

Yu Yan vomited all over, it was not to mention how dirty it was, it was extremely uncomfortable, she was dizzy and dizzy, unable to see the person just now, and god knows what she was thinking, since she had killed the assassin, why did he not come and let her go? Did he not want her to die too quickly? You want her to hang upside down to die?

"Miss."

Ah Lang's voice suddenly rang out, Yu Yan forced herself to open his eyes, and saw that Ah Lang had leapt up, cut the rope with one slash, and dropped her onto the ground. With the tip of her feet touching the ground, she kicked off and flew forward, Yu Yan laid on his shoulder, trying her best to open his eyes, only to see a figure looking at her from the tree that was hanging above, then withdrawing her head.

Yulixiao's martial arts and his Iron Blood Guards, who were unafraid of death, gave rise to fear in the hearts of Yu Tianqi's group of guards. Not only did they not retreat from such a violent attack, they kept on closing in, clearly wanting to tear a bloody path for Yulixiao to leave.

"Whoever kills Yulixiao will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and awarded the official title."

Yu Tianqi looked at the bodyguards on the ground, he knew that he could not stop Yulixiao and Yu Yan was nowhere to be seen, so he gave the order to attack, urging his horse to enter the forest to look for Yu Yan, after a few steps, he heard Yulixiao's voice from behind him.

"Those who surrender to me can leave their lives behind."

The murderous aura made Yu Tianqi's back unconsciously break out in cold sweat. Compared to gold, his life was more important. If he lost his life, what was the use of gold?
