C325 Escape

"Don't think that you're smart. None of those women are easy to deal with. You think that they are helping you, but in reality, you are only a pawn in their hands. You don't know their origins, you don't know their motives, and you even dare to associate with them … I really don't know how to write the word death. " Helian Yu sneered repeatedly.

Helian Xianzi's face was pale and he did not say anything. After a long while, he finally said with a lack of confidence, "I …" [I am here to help Crown Prince Brother, to stir up trouble …] "The East Abyss is in chaos …"

"With such a long line of vision, half of the Northern Chu would be yours."

Helian Peng did not think that these words seemed to approve. He pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence.

"We are in the capital of Dongyuan City, you planned to cause internal strife among the royal family, and if there were to really be a fight, it would be hard for us to avoid being implicated, maybe we will be the first ones to be suspected of causing internal strife. If I do not leave now, I will be killed by you sooner or later."

Helian Peng could not say that she had plotted time and time again just to draw the blame onto Gu Qingli. She could only allow Helian Yu to scold her without being able to refute his words.

The mottled tree shadows lightly swayed. Helian Yu's gaze coldly watched through the bonfire. He took out a bronze mirror and slowly turned it towards the moonlight, and a strange scene appeared on the surface of the mirror … The shadow of the tree shook violently.

Helian Yu suddenly leaped forward, picked up a burning log from the pile of firewood, and without looking back, threw it at the treetops. He twisted his body with his feet, drew the sword from its scabbard, and thrust it straight into the shadows of the trees.

All around them, people jumped from the treetops and attacked them.

Helian Shuanghui was caught unawares by a sudden turn of events. He took out her long sword inlaid with gold and jade, panicking in response to the enemy.

In comparison, Helian Divine Art's method of killing was more peculiar. The copper mirror in his hand borrowed the reflection of the moonlight. No matter who he looked at, the speed of his attacks would unconsciously slow down.

There were no less than a dozen people who had launched sneak attacks. Helian Yu's men didn't leave any survivors, and Helian Divine Technique swept through everything. Very quickly, more than half of the enemies were eliminated. The rest of them saw that the situation was not looking good, so they pouted their lips and quickly retreated.

Helian Peng took advantage of the chaos to take care of the only enemy in front of him. He quickly turned his head and saw from the corner of his eyes that she and Gu Qingruo were whispering to each other in the bronze mirror. The scene behind them was the room she lived in at Cheng Yang Inn.

Helian Peng's complexion was ashen, because the next words that Gu Qing wanted to say were related to Gu Qingli's death. If this scene were to be witnessed by Helian Yu, even if they were siblings, she was sure that he would not show mercy.

It was just that she did not know that this copper mirror belonged to the people of the heart. When everyone looked at it, they would see the secrets in their own hearts, but they would not see everything about others.

Fortunately, he had put away the copper mirror. He took out a piece of cloth and slowly wiped the bloodstained blade.

Helian Yu kicked the corpses on the ground and searched them over and over. He didn't find any clues.

"Gather the corpses in one place and burn them. We cannot leave behind any future troubles."

The God of Heaven, Helian, wanted to drag all the corpses to the bonfire, but Helian Yu shook his head and said, "Pack your things and travel through the night. They already had people running away, and saying something about destroying the body was tantamount to hiding their ears and stealing the bells. It would take too long for the corpses to be burned, so it would be better for us to hurry back to the Northern Chu. "

With a light sigh, he mounted the horse.

This time, Helian Shuang did not dare to raise any objections, and obediently mounted his horse to gallop on.

Along the way, they changed a lot of clothes, even twice had to flee separately to reduce the chance of attention.

When Helian Xiufeng finally stepped into the Northern Frontier of Dongyang Province, he was already exhausted and powerless to carry on. Along the way, he had swapped out a few fine horses, but this one had also used up all its energy. It was frothing at the mouth, and it looked like it was about to die.

She struggled to get down from the horse and rolled on the grass. In his heart, he thought to himself in despair that he might as well let the pursuers catch his. With his identity, even if Xiao Yixiu found some clues and suspected her, he wouldn't dare to blatantly kill Princess Beichuan.

After lying down for a while, he didn't see anyone catching up to him. Helian Shuang recovered a little bit and forced herself up. Only then did she discover that the half-dead mount had already run away without a trace.

The northern border was not as prosperous as the central region. The place was cold and impoverished, with large areas filled with evil and danger. The area was a hundred miles wide and desolate, with no place to buy fine horses. However, this made her feel slightly more at ease. In this kind of place, it was easy for one to hide and escape, and it was also not easy for others to find their whereabouts.

She forced herself to walk for a while, intending to hide in the dense forest ahead. However, she did not know the rules of not entering the martial arts world. The moment she stepped into the forest, the tree shadows swayed, and someone jumped down from the tree and surrounded her.

Helian Peng turned pale with fright. He pressed his hand on his waist and flicked out his sword. His heart felt as if it had been crushed into ashes. Helian Yu and the Helian Divine Technique had long separated from her and fled. With her strength alone, there was no way she could avoid this chase.

Seeing the encirclement shrinking and the incoming attacks, Helian Xianzi could only brace himself for the incoming attacks. Before long, his body and legs were covered in swords, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

Just when she thought that she would die for sure, she heard endless buzzing sounds. She was surprised to find that there were many small flying insects in the forest, forming various colored nebulae. They moved in groups and attacked the people around her, leaving her alone.

Small red, gold, black, blue, and green insects swarmed at the attackers. Although they did not know where these insects came from, they instinctively felt that something was wrong.

The small flying bugs were constantly being shot down, but more and more people rushed forward. Soon, all of them were hit, and only sounds of mournful wails could be heard. Soon, all of them fell to the ground, twitching.

Helian Lie laid dispiritedly on the ground. He could only watch helplessly as the Five-Colored Insects flapped their wings and retreated in groups. He could not help but shiver in his heart.

A voice that was neither male nor female suddenly resounded from all directions, "Princess Helian, quickly return to your Northern Chu. We can help you to an end here."

Helian Xianzi could hear the conscious disguise of the other party's voice. He could not help but ask, "Just who are you people? Why did you save me but not want to show yourself?"

The voice carried a smile. "There's no point in asking. It's enough as long as you remember that you owe us a favor. There will always be a time to repay it in the future."

"Where is my royal brother and teacher?"

"Crown Prince Helian and State Grandmaster have already set foot into the Northern Chu Region. You should leave quickly."

Helian Peng asked again and again. However, the other party's voice seemed to disappear just like that.

She had to get up and stumble out of the woods.

When she came out of the woods, she was pleasantly surprised to find a handsome black horse tied to the wall outside, snorting loudly as it ate the grass. She knew that the other party would definitely give it to her. As she untied the horse and got on it, her heart was completely at a loss, and she suddenly thought back to the incident when she was stung by the 'wild bees' in the Duke's Mansion, and her experience when she was infected by the plague in the East Abyss in response to Zhou Zhen's words. A vague thought rose up in her mind.
