Chapter 1048 (2/2)

There was another loud noise .

A person fell heavily on the bottom of the abyss . Countless rotten leaves and green branches were shaken up and then casted high into the sky like fireworks, meanwhile the night sky was stained with blood .

Seeing this, Chu Youxian and Chen Qi turned pale and wondered if she could survive . As they rushed to check on her, they unexpectedly heard a loud whistling sound .

Dozens of figures swept to Ye Hongyu like arrows . They were all black-robed deacons of the Divine Hall of Judgement . Chu Youxian and Chen Qi were shocked, for they did not even notice that they were there before .

A moment later, Ye Hongyu came over under the escort of dozens of black-robed deacons . She took a glance at Chu Youxian and Chen Qi and then kept walking to the carriage without any expression .

Chu Youxian and Chen Qi did not look back at her and looked away, as if they dared not to see her not because they feared her, but because of the way she looked at this moment .

She was covered in blood, and the shabby Gown of Judgment piled up at her waist casually . She was topless, and blood kept flowing down her body, which revealed a cruel sense of beauty .

Unlike Chu Youxian and Chen Qi, dozens of black-robed deacons had no expression on their faces and did not even look away .

Chu Youxian and Chen Qi followed them to the other side of the pond . While approaching the carriage, they finally recalled their previous confusion about who the great array master was?

They soon knew the answer, for dozens of girls stood by the carriage . They didn't see these girls because they were standing on the other side of the carriage .

These girls wore masks made by tulle and Xiu Sword hanging in the waist . Just like their eyebrows and eyes, the Xiu Sword looked delicate but also revealed unyielding courage .

They were female disciples of Black Ink Garden of the Great River Kingdom .

With a light sound, the carriage door was pushed open . At this moment, Ye Hongyu had just walked to the pond .

A woman came out of the carriage, wearing no sword but a blue ribbon at her waist . Her black hair under the crown was thick and s.h.i.+ny, and her robe was a little loose, looking like a cotton dress . She was elegant and beautiful, wearing a pair of gla.s.ses which was unique in this world . Just like the old days , her eyes were not focusing on anything . She was Mo Shanshan, the previous youngest Talisman master and the current Queen of the Great River Kingdom .

Ye Hongyu walked toward her, and blood kept falling down her half-naked body . These female disciples of Black Ink Garden were shocked and dared not to look at her, wondering why she didn't care at all .

It didn't mean Ye Hongyu was bold or dissolute . She didn't care that others saw her body, which was not because she was proud of her beauty and wanted to show her body to the world, but because she didn't take being naked seriously and she had already abandoned the concept of gender .

From the moment she sat in the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade, she transcended the boundaries between men and women, for she was no longer an ordinary human being .

That was the reason why she was so calm and indifferent . Those black-robed deacons who were loyal to her must learn to be as calm and indifferent as her . Although Chu Youxian, Chen Qi and those female disciples of Black Ink Garden felt very uncomfortable, they dared not to express any opinions, thus looking away .

Mo Shanshan was different . She walked forward to greet her and took off her pure white robe while walking . The gown danced with the wind and finally fell on Ye Hongyu, wrapping her body .

Looking at Ye Hongyu's pale cheeks, Mo Shanshan frowned and asked worriedly, ”Are you all right?”

”I am fine,” Ye Hongyu answered without any expression .

Mo Shanshan was still worried . She was well aware that Ye Hongyu must have suffered a lot to escape from that three powerful men even though she was prepared for this . So she asked again, ”Are you sure?”

Ye Hongyu frowned and seemed a little unhappy . She said, ”Of course!” After saying this, she walked to the carriage, but did not throw away the robe that Mo Shanshan put on her .

After entering the carriage, she closed her eyes, sat down, and then began to bleed .

Mo Shanshan walked up to her and held her hands, getting very worried .

Her slender eyelashes were as calm as the willow leaf in the ice and did not tremble at all . But blood kept coming out of her eyes, ears and lips .

Mo Shanshan knew that this was due to the wound that three men had left in her body . She could only silently pray that Ye Hongyu could survive, at least could stay alive before they got out of the abyss .

. . .

. . .

Several carriages moved slowly along the sh.o.r.e of the pond . At this point, the bottom of the abyss was shrouded in fog, and it was hard to tell the direction for there was no starlight at all .

Chu Youxian and Chen Qi didn't know where they were heading and just silently stayed in the carriage with the female disciples of Black Ink Garden . Finally, they couldn't help but starting asking questions .

The one who was talking with Chen Qi was Zhuo Zhihua, the leading disciple of Black Ink Garden . She didn't reveal too much detail, but the whole matter was quite clear since they saw the grand array with their own eyes .

What happened tonight was all planned by Ye Hongyu . Even before Chu Youxian and Chen Qi delivered Ning Que's message to her, she had already prepared to betray Taoism, not because her complicated relations.h.i.+p with Ning Que or because she had lived quite a long time in Chang'an . But because she was Ye Su's sister .

Like Ning Que, she also thought the Abbey Dean would not choose the most extreme solution . But also like Ning Que, she was used to not trusting anyone, even including herself . She would always leave herself a way out .

She was very clear what kind of storm she had to face if the worst scenario were to happen, so she had to make sure that the Abbey Dean and the Hierarch did not know her way out . As for Ning Que who happened to be shameless, she would never let him find out what she planned to do .

She only trusted those who were trustworthy . In today's cultivation world, she only trusted the Eldest Brother and Jun Mo from the Academy, and another woman who seemed very different from her but resembled her in some respects .

Many days ago, a letter left the Divine Hall of Judgement and came to the capital of Great River Kingdom through the most secret pa.s.sage, secretly making its way to the palace .

Because of that simple letter, Mo Shanshan, the queen of Great River Kingdom, racked her brains to make her people and the Divine Halls of West-Hill believe she was still in the palace, secretly came to the Divine Hall of West-Hill and stayed at the Secluded Pavilion for several days .
