Chapter 177 - The Emperor Who Reigned The Shortest (1/2)

The old man in white hurriedly explained, ”We did not harm Princess Consort Guang Pingwang. We have been treating her well. We will release her now.”

He originally wanted to use Su Yan to threaten Guang Pingwang, but after personally enduring his anger, the old man in white did not have any thoughts of resisting.

Anyone who had never experienced the pressure of death would never understand.

Gu Ruoyun raised the bow in his hand. His expression was ice-cold and he was unmoved.

Suddenly, a wave of white smoke filled the air and enveloped the white-robed men.

Gu Ruoyun aimed his bow and arrow at a single direction and shot it straight out.

With the sound of the arrow piercing through flesh, the white smoke disappeared. At the same time, only Nalan Chen was left on the ground in the chamber. All the white-robed men had disappeared.

The general took a step forward and asked, ”His Royal Highness, we've discovered a secret passage. Should we send our troops to chase after them?”

Gu Ruoyun rubbed his bow and arrow and replied, ”No need, withdraw our troops.”

A weak voice suddenly came from the ground.

”Save... me...”

Nalan Chen tried his best to keep his eyes open and extended his finger in Gu Ruoyun's direction.

Gu Ruoyun mocked him for not being able to see the situation clearly and turned to leave.

The soldiers behind him also did not look at the Emperor on the ground. Their faith had always been Gu Ruoyun.

Nalan Chen could only watch as they walked away. In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was completely silent.

The white-robed men who had escaped had left through a tunnel built by the previous dynasty.

As soon as he came out, Liu Runyan spat out a mouthful of blood.

There was an arrow stuck in his chest.

The people around him cried out in panic, ”Young master, hold on, we'll treat you right away.”

The old man in white said, ”We still need to find a place to hide as soon as possible. With the power of Guang Pingwang, they'll find us soon.”

Liu Runyan smiled bitterly, ”No need, he won't chase us.”

He was a martial arts practitioner and the arrow in his heart was only a little away from his heart. He would not naively think that Gu Ruoyun had made a mistake.
