Prince Rong turned around, folded his arms across his chest, and looked at the scenery outside the courtyard. He said, "You are the little Emperor's mother, and as the empress dowager, you cannot shirk your responsibilities. Your duty is to properly support the little Emperor. "Mu Chen, I don't want you to get involved in this mess."

"So you're determined to kill them both?"

"If I don't take them first, they will definitely bite me in the next few months. Mu Chen, this is the way of survival between us. Whoever is merciful will suffer a miserable defeat. " King Rong said.

"But what if I don't agree?" Lin Mu Fan had to threaten him: "Zerg is the boss' father, I can't just watch him die. The Rui King is the man I once loved, so I won't let him die so easily. "So, if you insist on putting them to death, please deal with me first, or else I will not let you go!"

Lin Mufan smiled bitterly at the bottom of his heart. How could she not? What ability did she have to refuse? In fact, she didn't have the ability to stop him from doing anything. All she had was to use his love for her to stop him from killing her.

She knew that the Prince Rong loved her, and loved her very much. This was why she would force him to do so with her death. This was also the only thing she could do.

Duke Rong naturally understood what she was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "You clearly know that I can't possibly put you to death, and you're using my love for you to support other men, don't you think that's right? "Mu Chen?"

"I'm sorry, that's all I can do." Lin Mufan knew that he shouldn't have done so and hurt his feelings. However, he had no other choice. He didn't want to see the two men who loved him to die miserably.

Prince Rong did not say anything else. With a disappointed smile, he turned around and walked back into the house. What else could he say? What's the use of saying so much? He had never cared about how she felt about him.

Lin Mu Fan looked at Liu Ming's ashamed figure as he walked away. He helplessly took a deep breath before turning around and leaving as well.

The carriage sped along, arriving at the foot of Poison King's Valley just after noon. The leader of the carriage was a bearded man named Liu. It was said that he was a distant relative of the Lin Clan. Half a year ago, when he found out that Lin Mufan had become the empress dowager, he took the initiative to seek her out.

Green looked at the mountain shrouded in smoke and asked worriedly, "Sir Liu, this mountain is uneven, will we encounter any bandits here? We have to be careful. "

Lord Liu laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Meeting bandits is easy, but you can cut them with a knife. If you are afraid of encountering Prince Rong's soldiers, you are really done for."

"Then what should we do? Do you think that King Rong will send people to chase after us? " Green immediately tensed up.

"Who knows? This was hard to say. With Duke Rong's personality, he would most likely chase after him. Therefore, we have to increase our speed and try our best to reach Poison King's Valley before it gets dark. " Saying this, Lord Liu used his leg to viciously pinch the horse's abdomen, speeding up the pace of the horse's advance.

Green looked at the uneven surface of the road. No matter how hard they tried, it was impossible for them to catch up with King Rong's cavalry. And as far as she knew, the farther up the hill the road was, the steeper the road became.

Even so, she still followed Lord Liu's instructions and got everyone to speed up.

"Xiao Lu, let's see if Rui Wang has woken up. Can't we let him wake up?" Lord Liu instructed.

"Little Green understands." "En!" Little Lu replied before she got into the carriage. Inside, King Rui was sleeping peacefully. Relieved, she pulled the covers up for him and jumped out of the car.

King Rui didn't even want to go to the Duke's place, let alone the Poison King's Valley. Thus, when the Duke's house was closed, the doctor had used a silver needle to control his sleeping place so that he could sleep peacefully throughout the entire journey.

The sky darkened shamelessly, the mountain road became harder and harder to walk, and what everyone was worried about happened. In the deep forest, birds and beasts suddenly flopped and fled in all directions. When Lord Liu, who was on alert, saw this scene, he immediately pulled out his sword and shouted warily: "Not good, there's people approaching! Everyone be careful to protect King Rui! "

The crowd dispersed, tightly surrounding the carriage, holding their swords and vigilantly patrolling the area. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the quiet forest. The sound was getting closer and closer. He could tell that there were a lot of horses there, and they were running fast towards him. He knew that their target was King Rui the moment he heard the sound.

In next to no time, the crowd had caught up, and the one leading them was none other than King Rong. He was sitting on a big white horse, majestic, with a serious expression on his face. He sized up the crowd in the dark of the night and said expressionlessly, "Hand King Rui to this king. You can all go home, or else all of you will die here."

Lord Liu gave a start, then looked at Prince Rong with some lingering fear. With a trembling voice, he said, "Prince … this servant has been ordered by the empress dowager to escort King Rui to Poison King Valley. If things aren't settled well, the empress dowager won't let this servant go …"

"Since that's the case, you can just die here. In any case, you'll still die here." King Rong sneered. He said to the people behind him, "Men, bring King Rui back to the city. Whoever wants to die will have no choice!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The retainer who'd been guarding behind Duke Rong answered and immediately raised his sword to head for the carriage. Xiao Lu panicked, spreading her arms wide as she shrieked, "Wait a moment, anyone who dares to touch Prince Rui is disrespecting the empress dowager. All of you, back down!"

Those attendants were startled. They were obviously shocked by the 'empress dowager' that she spoke of, but then they recalled that it was now the realm of the Duke of Rong. As long as they stayed close to Prince Rong's side, nothing would happen to them.

"Little girl, don't be so brave. No one here will praise you." Prince Rong gave a cold smile. "Since you're the empress dowager's personal servant, I'll spare your life today. Please move to the side."

"This servant will swear his loyalty to Esteemed Empress Dowager." Xiao Lu remained unmoved, continuing to stand in front of everyone.

King Rong shrugged indifferently, "It's up to you." Just as he finished speaking, one of the followers took action, slapping Little Green to the ground with his palm. Fresh blood oozed out of its mouth and dripped onto the ground.

The servant's hand had just touched the curtain when his body inexplicably flew out. A black shadow flashed across the sky, causing a wave of sword lights and shadows. In just a few short moves, a large number of the Duke Rong's men had already fallen.

King Rong looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in shock. He muttered two words in a low voice, "It's you …?"

"That's right!" It's me. " The dragon turned its body and stood firmly in front of King Rong. The sword in its right hand dripped with fresh blood. He was handsome and radiant, his clothes fluttering in the wind. He no longer looked like the quiet Mu Na that he had seen the day before.

Even if there was only one hand left, he could still use the sword technique to its fullest extent. Duke Rong gasped in his heart. A bad premonition welled up in his heart. It seemed that he would have to repeat the battle of half a year ago.

"The Emperor …" Lord Liu exclaimed as he looked in astonishment at the dragon's body that had suddenly appeared. He used his hands to ruthlessly rub his eyes to confirm that he wasn't mistaken. It really is the Emperor! He's not dead?!

"I didn't expect that after breaking his arm, he would come running out and meddle in other people's business. Long Zhaoting, do you think that your life is tough enough?" On the surface, Prince Rong didn't seem worried in the slightest as he looked at Long Ze's cold voice.

Long Zhaofeng smiled faintly, "It's not that I'm restless. It's just that I owe King Rui a favor. I can't just stand by and watch when he needs help." Duke Rong, you might be very strong, but you might not be able to escape from here today. The remaining members of the Mighty Heaven Alliance have all gathered here.

"The remnants of the alliance?" King Rong mumbled in astonishment. He had always thought that he had exhausted all of the members of the Mighty Heaven Alliance. He didn't think that there would still be people left behind. However, he wasn't worried. No matter how many remaining members there were, they wouldn't outnumber him by more than a few hundred thousand soldiers.

"That's right. The Mighty Heaven Alliance is so huge. His minions and henchmen are all over the country. How could you kill them all?" When Long Zhaoting was in power, he had investigated the Mighty Heavenly Alliance and discovered that the King Rui's influence was boundless.

"Then I'll kill him now!" Duke Rong didn't want to waste any more time, so he unsheathed his sword and flew towards the side of the carriage. Long Zhaoting hurriedly made his move, quickly blocking his surging attack.

In an instant, the forest that had just quietened down once again rang with flashes of blades and flashes of sword light. Long Zhaoju and Duke Rong fought bitterly, while Lord Liu led his subordinates to protect the unconscious King Rui.

Lord Liu had quite a number of men, but they were still no match for those subordinates of Prince Rong who had fought in the battlefield. They were quickly beaten into a miserable state. One of the Duke of Rong's men brandished his sword and cut the rope on the carriage, causing the horse to run away with a whoosh. The horse carriage rolled sideways and rapidly rolled down the cliff.

"King Rui …" King Rui fell! " Lord Liu looked at the rolling carriage and screamed loudly.

Long Zhaosu hurriedly rushed forward to save the situation. King Rong gave a cold smile and didn't give him any chance to leave. He jumped right in front of him, aiming the tip of the sword straight at his vitals. He had to exhaust all his strength in every move and attack.

Not only did he want to kill the Rui King, he also wanted to kill Long Ze as well. Although Lin Mu Fan didn't want him to do that, it was possible that he would hate him for the rest of his life. However, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to kill these two people, he would have to live his entire life in anxiety, worrying that they would turn around and bite him at any time.

The sky was once again covered in a blanket of silver light. The horse that was constantly rolling down the cliff was lifted up by someone and returned to the road.

King Rong was shocked. He knew that the men from the Mighty Heaven Alliance had arrived. He was confident that he could defeat Long Zhaofeng because Long Zhaozhu's power was obviously not as strong as it used to be. However, he did not know much about the members of the Mighty Heavenly Alliance. They were good at hiding their strengths and weaknesses. With a leap, he swiftly evaded Long Zhaofeng's attack and flew deeper into the mountains.

"Quickly chase!" Don't let him get away! " Half of the members of the Mighty Heavenly Alliance had already caught up to him. The sound of colliding swords rang out in the air as they fought back.

Long Zhaosu looked at the fighting crowd, tidied his clothes and told the members of the alliance, "Send King Rui to the Poison King's Valley."

The men from the Mighty Heavenly Alliance immediately took the carriage and headed in the direction of the Poison King's Valley.
