On the other side, Mu Ying was busy searching for Xue Luoyun. However, there were too many people on the street to distinguish them all. Mu Sheng had been searching for a long time, but he still hadn't found any news of Xue Luoyun, causing his heart to grow even more anxious. At this moment, he saw Mu Zheng casually guessing the riddle of the lamp. Mu Yong pondered for a moment before hurrying over. "Royal brother."

"It's you. What, could it be that the Emperor's target is me?" Mu Sheng turned around and joked as he lightly waved his fan.

"Royal brother, your servant has a request." At this moment, Mu Yong's face was full of seriousness as he saluted to Mu Zheng. He didn't wait for Mu Zheng's reply and quickly told him about the possibility that Xue Luoyun had been killed.

When Mu Zheng heard this, he flew into a rage and instantly, dark clouds gathered around him. This time, he came precisely for the sake of encountering Xue Ruyun. However, as he walked around, he still couldn't find any trace of Xue Luoyun. He was currently puzzled. At this moment, hearing Mu Ying's words, he was greatly alarmed. With a "pa" sound, he closed the folding fan. He gave a meaningful glance to the guards around him, and suddenly, dozens of people gathered together from the surrounding rooftops. So it turns out that the Emperor had secretly brought along so many royal experts to protect him.

"The entire city is searching for Xue Ruyun. If anyone is found to hold him hostage, kill him without mercy!" Mu Zheng's face was filled with killing intent.

"Okay."

The guard beside him jumped up and quickly passed down the order. The experts accepted the order and disappeared into the crowd.

"We'll split up and search around." At this moment, Mu Ying couldn't care less as the two of them quickly split up and began searching in all directions.

In the distant crowd, there was a familiar figure. Mu Sheng was overjoyed as he quickly ran over and grabbed that woman.

Yun Che only saw Yun Zhi turn around with tears all over her face.

"Conquering King, please save my Miss." Yun Zhi anxiously kneeled down and recounted the matter of Xue Lian drawing her away.

"Don't say so much. Where is your young lady now?" Mu Yong asked in a concise manner.

"I'm not too sure either, I separated from the ladies here." Yun Zhi regretfully said.

Where would it be? Mu Sheng racked his brains, but suddenly remembered that the man just now seemed to be saying that he would lead the people down the Qingfeng Mountain.

"How could I forget!" Mu Yong smacked his head and disappeared into the dark night.

"Xue Luoyun, you must not have anything happen to you!"

"Ahh …" A miserable cry came from inside the thatched cottage. Yun Zheng was clutching his lower body and was rolling on the ground in pain. He had seen Xue Ruoyun being exhausted, and he was flying to his brain, greedily pouncing towards him without any warning. However, with all his strength, he was aimed at Xue Ruyun's lower body and kicked.

"Big brother, big brother, how are you?" Upon seeing Yun Zheng's pitiful cry, the lackeys gathered around to offer their condolences.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xue Ruoyun held onto his wound and stumbled out of the hole.

"Leave me alone, hurry up and catch this damned bitch." Yun Zheng ordered his brothers while enduring the pain. Hearing Yun Zheng's order, he suddenly remembered Xue Ruyun, and quickly chased after him with his sabre.

It seemed that Xue Lianshui really intended to kill her this time. He wanted to exterminate her to the point where he even had a sliver of hope in her before, hoping that he would sincerely wait for her, Xue Moyan thought with a cold heart.

Xue Ruyun could only cover her wound as she ran up the mountain. Fortunately, she had come up the mountain with Yun Zhi to pick mushrooms before. Now, her escape was smoother. However, after all, she had overdrawn her strength, and she had many wounds on her body. The more she walked, the slower she walked, and her vision became a bit blurry. Seeing that Yun Zheng's group would find her soon, Xue Luoyun hid in the bushes, suddenly thinking back to the time when she and Yun Zhi had seen a very deep trap on the mountain. It was deep and dark, extremely well hidden. At the time, they had even restored it and marked it. Thinking of this, she quickly ran in that direction.

At this moment, Yun Zheng's claws and fangs had already forced Xue Ruyun closer and closer. Xue Ruoyun carefully crossed the trap and stood in the other direction. He turned around and looked in the direction in which Yun Zheng had come from. He saw Yun Zheng leading seven or eight of his men. He had already closed in.

"Damned woman, there's no way out, right? Let's see where you can run to!" Yun Zhengfei said as he held onto his lower body that was still in pain.

"Brothers, let us wait for brother to enjoy tonight. We'll let you guys have a taste of this and teach this stinking woman a lesson." Yun Zheng laughed sinisterly. The large beard on his face was stained with blood, making him look even more disgusting.

Xue Ruyun stood on the other side and looked at Yun Zhengfei without fear, spitting, "Ha, you despicable, shameless rapist. Why are you looking at me? I think you guys are well-prepared and meticulous. You must have already planned this beforehand, so I'm sure you guys have something in mind.

Xue Muyun's face was pale, and blood slowly flowed out from the wounds on her body. However, she still straightened her body, and reprimanded her with righteous words. She just wanted to confirm from their mouths if this had anything to do with Xue Lian's painting, even though it was very obvious.

"Heh, he's already a meat in our mouths, and he still has this pride. I like it." Lin Zhengfei ridiculed his brothers as he wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly walked in.

Xue Ruyun saw that their group was already slowly approaching the trap. This was something that they had modified last time to only mend the large animals and prevent the small animals from getting injured. He didn't expect that it would actually come in handy this time. Now, as long as he lured them to the middle of the trap and pulled the vines, he would be able to catch all of them in one fell swoop.

So, Xue Luoyun opened his mouth and cursed, "A group of despicable and shameless vile people. I'll wait for you here. If you have the ability, come over."

"Damned woman, you're still being stubborn even when you're about to die. This lord is here to take you in, brothers!" Yun Zhengfei was about to pounce on them with his sabre in hand, but seeing that they were already at the edge of the trap and wouldn't be able to escape once they took a few more steps forward, Xue Ruoyun secretly pulled tightly on the rattan.

"One, two …"

At this critical moment, a sword suddenly flew out from behind him, instantly chopping off a brother's head and rolling on the ground. He was still holding his knife, maintaining his standing posture. The blood on his head splattered into the air. It caused the people beside them to be drenched in a rain of blood. Each one of them looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"Who?" After being attacked from behind, Yun Zheng and the rest suddenly walked back. Everything happened so suddenly. Xue Ruoyun had already pulled down the vines, and just as the several people ran out, the lid fell.

Hearing a loud rumble from behind him, Yun Zheng turned around and saw that several of his brothers had already fallen into a huge pit. Only now did he realize that he had almost fallen into Xue Muyun's trap.

"Who is this? This is a critical moment?" Seeing Yun Zheng standing there perfectly fine, Xue Luoyun was so angry and frustrated that he looked in the direction of the flying sword.

"You shameless bunch of people, come and take your life." A deep and stern voice sounded, filled with rage. Yun Zheng took a closer look and saw a tall and straight figure standing in the forest. The wind blew his hair, revealing his facial features. There was not a single emotion in his eyes, but it gave people the feeling that he was emitting a murderous intent.

"Come on, who are you, state your name!" Right now, Yun Zheng Fei had no time to bother with Xue Ruyun, he wanted to see who would spoil his good fortune!

That person walked forward with his sword in his hands as he spoke, "You are not qualified to know my name."

"Conqueror, conscript!" At this moment, a sharp-eyed person saw the jade pendant on Mu Ying's waist and stuttered in fear.

Seeing that the person who had come was Mu Rong Hao, Xue Ruoyun suddenly relaxed, feeling a sense of peace of mind. He didn't know why, but every time he was in danger, he would always see the figure of the person in front of him. Xue Luoyun looked at her with a pale face, and unconsciously let out a smile. It was the kind of happiness that came from the bottom of his heart.

When Yun Zhengfei heard the people beside him mention this name, he could hardly believe it. Could this person be the great general whose name shook the entire martial arts world, and whose might shook the entire world?

At this moment, it was too late to beg for mercy. Seeing that Mu Ying was getting closer, Yun Zheng's eyes turned and he suddenly leaped backwards.

At this moment, Xue Luoyun's body was extremely weak, and he was feeling extremely vexed over the failure of his previous plan. When he saw Mu Rong Hao arrive, he momentarily let down his guard. He was caught off guard by Yun Zheng when the shadow suddenly flew over.

Yun Zhengfei grabbed onto Xue Ruyun tightly, placed the blade against her neck, and said fiercely, "So it's the famous general, Mu Sheng. "I wonder if General Mu will come for this woman today. If he isn't, then we'll kill her."

"Let her go." Mu Sheng's voice suddenly rose an octave as waves of cold light shot out from her eyes, gradually approaching.

"If you dare to take a step forward, I will wipe her slender neck." Yun Zheng picked up his large saber and slashed it across Xue Luoyun's neck.

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance when the time comes."

Mu Sheng furiously shot out the sword shell. His hand gripped the sword and his expression was cold. If the bystanders had been frightened by his murderous intent to the point of kneeling down and begging for mercy, then Yun Zheng was someone who had seen the world and knew that Mu Sheng's sore spot was in his hands. As a result, he tightly held onto Xue Muyun, unwilling to let go. However, due to the nervousness in his heart, his hand violently trembled. The sharp blade immediately cut open a wound on Xue Ruoyun's neck, and blood slowly flowed down from it.

"Stop!" As he said this, he slowly took two steps back and said in a low voice: "If you know what's good for you today and let her go, I'll let you live with your corpse intact. If you hurt her even a bit more, I'll definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

"Hahaha, it's useless to speak such harsh words." Yun Zheng had already seen through Mu Sheng's thoughts. Since she cared so much about this woman in front of him, then his life would not be in danger. Because he had Xue Ruyun in his grasp, no matter how high Mu's martial arts were, he could not open his arms and legs.

Yun Zhengfei was immensely pleased with himself and he became even more arrogant. "I didn't expect you to care so much about this little girl. However, I'll tell you right now, she's mine."

Hearing how shameless he was, Mu Ying gnashed his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
