Chapter 126.2

Chapter 126.2

At this moment, the Great Yue Emperor and his entourage were frantically fleeing for their lives.

To avoid being found by the massive armies of the Shi and Zhu kingdoms, they tried their best to avoid crowds and chose to take secluded, narrow paths.

But since it was a narrow path, the road was uneven, causing the Great Yue Emperor, who had not suffered much hardship, to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Weve been running for several days now, lets take a rest, I really cant keep going!

Yes, Your Majesty! The convoy came to a stop.

The Great Yue Emperor was helped out of the carriage, and as soon as he set foot on the ground, he began to vomit profusely, turning pale.

Your Majesty, have some water to rinse your mouth!

Alright! Ugh~

After vomiting twice more, the Great Yue Emperor finally felt much better.

Looking around, he saw that the place was lush with green trees and the scenery was very unfamiliar. He asked, Where is this?

Report to Your Majesty, this place was originally within the borders of the Shang Kingdom! Later, General Zhao led his troops here and annexed it into Great Yue! But now, it belongs entirely to Great Xia!

Hmph! Dont mention that Zhao fellow, a traitor who turns his coat!

The Great Yue Emperor said angrily. I trusted him back then, allowing him to lead the army to attack the Shang Kingdom! Now that I think about it, he probably harbored ulterior motives from that time! My army of 400,000 might have been destroyed by his doing! My country has fallen and my family is ruined, and he bears an inescapable responsibility!

Everyone trembled with fear and dared not say more.

Only Wang Eunuch, who was closest to him, offered water and dry food: Your Majesty, please have some water and dry food!

Alright! The Great Yue Emperor took the water and dry food and began to eat vigorously.

However, the hardtack was both dry and tough, really not to his taste. After only a couple of bites, he didnt want to eat anymore.

At this moment, the Imperial Guard commander Luo Yun looked at the scene before him and waved to Wang Eunuch, Wang Eunuch, come here for a moment, I have something important to discuss with you!

Wang Eunuch nodded, Alright!

He walked over, slightly avoiding the Emperors gaze, and asked in a low voice, Commander Luo, what do you need to discuss with me?

Commander Luo asked quietly, Wang Eunuch, where are we heading to? Weve been fleeing for so many days, and still, we do not know where we are escaping to. Im feeling quite uneasy!

Wang Eunuch gave a wry smile, To tell you the truth, Im not very sure myself, as this journey was so rushed! We can only make long-term plans once weve escaped Great Yue and eluded the pursuit of both Great Shi and Great Zhu nations!

Alas! At this point, theres nothing else we can do! sighed Commander Luo.

Rest assured, Commander Luo, your loyalty to His Majesty is unwavering, and His Majesty will absolutely not forget you! Its just a small problem were facing right now, and we need everyone to pull together.

Eunuch Wang, I understand all that!

Commander Luo said with righteous indignation: As the saying goes, to receive the Emperors bounty is to bear his concerns. His Majesty has always been so good to us, and now its our time to show our loyalty!

Commander Luo, having you is a blessing for the state! Eunuch Wang was very relieved.

However, I still have some doubts, and I hope you can help me clear them up! Commander Luo bowed.

Commander Luo, holding a dagger, approached step by step with a ferocious smile: I hope youll cooperate and not make this difficult for me!

In your dreams! Even if I die, I wont let you succeed! Great Yue Emperor roared.

Dont speak so absolutely! I know better than you how much you fear death!

Commander Luo, holding the dagger to Great Yue Emperors neck, said: Ill give you the time of three breaths to speak! If you dont, Ill chop off one of your fingers! If you still dont speak, Ill chop off another! Until youve completely spoken!

Great Yue Emperors face turned pale with fright!

From childhood to adulthood, he had been clothed in silk and fed on jade, enjoying glory and wealth; he had never suffered like this!

Even the sound of it filled him with fear!

So, will you speak now or not? Commander Luo bellowed.

At that moment, Wang Eunuch, whose martial arts had been crippled, suddenly charged forward and struck Commander Luo on the back with his palm.

Commander Luo had not anticipated that Wang Eunuch, with his dantian destroyed, could still muster such strength.

Caught off guard, he was hit and spat out blood.

Then, Wang Eunuch lay before Commander Luo and roared, Your Majesty! Go! I will hold them off for you! Hurry, leave!

Alright! I shall leave at once! Great Yue Emperor nodded repeatedly, leading his family in a desperate sprint for their lives.

Commander Luo was furious: You treacherous eunuch, I didnt expect you to resist?

Eunuch Wang, with a flick of his slender fingers, retorted angrily: Even if I have to burn the last drop of blood in my body, I will never let you succeed. You shall not harm His Majesty!

Fear not! He just used the Demonic Disintegration Technique, sacrificing his life to restore some of his martial arts, but he wont last the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew! Together, we can surely take him down! the Innate roared.

Lets do it! Attack now!

The three Innates engaged in a fierce battle that turned the sky dark and blotted out the sun and the moon.

Great Yue Emperor and his company ran tirelessly, not even stopping to pick up their shoes when they fell off.

As this was their only chance to escape, Wang Eunuch sacrificed himself to buy them this sole opportunity; if they didnt run now, they would truly lose their lives.

However, very soon, they were once again filled with despair.

Because standing before them were two familiar figures holding a bloody severed head, their gazes coldly fixed upon them.

Your Majesty, where do you think youre escaping to?
