Chapter 1699 Big Trouble
Kunlun Mountain Range, eastern side.
“So powerful…”
Looking at the exploding star fragments, Zhan Yuwu couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
“The Marquis can battle even with gods, of course he’s powerful.” Yan Zhong patted the snow off his body. “By my count, the Marquis has saved the people of the world countless times. The debt we owe him, when will we ever be able to repay it…”
“Fortunately, Seven Nights brought the Marquis peaches of immortality, so the Marquis can have a few more years to enjoy some peace.”
“Hehe, maybe he could even get married and have a child?”
“Would it be difficult for the Marquis to find a wife? If the Marquis just said the word, countless women would throw themselves at him… he simply doesn’t want to.” Yan Zhong let out a long sigh. “The Marquis keeps himself too tightly wound. After we return to Chang’an, we should try to persuade him again. At the very least, he should leave behind an heir for the Huo family, right?”
While the two were talking, Gongyang Wan silently climbed a nearby peak, her brows tightly furrowed.
“What are you looking at?” Zhan Yuwu asked curiously.
“Are we about to leave the Kunlun Mountains here?”
“We’ve been in the flying vehicle for so long, we should be at the edge of the Kunlun Mountains by now. Further east should be near Western City.”
Seeing Gongyang Wan’s strange expression, Yan Zhong also climbed the mountain peak and scanned the surroundings. He saw a swirling mass of colorful mist that had already left the mountain range and was steadily advancing eastward!
Yan Zhong’s heart sank!
This was bad.
Earlier when they were looking for Kusuen’s true form, they were already at the edge of the Kunlun Mountains. Before they could act, the death star had exploded, immediately drawing away their attention… they had almost forgotten there was still a major problem here!
“Is its target Western City?!” Zhan Yuwu also saw this and turned pale with shock.
“Although Western City is on the western frontier of the Great Han, it’s an important trading hub with a significant population… this thing is truly vicious.”
“What should we do? Everyone capable of confronting that thing has gone to deal with the star fragments… they won’t be back anytime soon!” Zhan Yuwu spoke anxiously.
Yan Zhong looked at the outline of the city in the east, his expression extremely grim. After struggling with the decision for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth.
“Let’s go! Let’s see if we can hold it back!”
“Alright!”
Zhan Yuwu didn’t hesitate for a moment.
“Are you both insane? That’s the monster that destroyed Yaopool and the gods… the two of you together couldn’t defeat even one hand of a god, yet you’re going to get involved in this?” Gongyang Wan said coldly.
“Then what should we do? Just stand here and watch?” Yan Zhong glared at Gongyang Wan. “Didn’t the Marquis establish the Demon Suppression Bureau to protect these civilians? We may not be as strong as the Marquis, but having followed him for so long, if we don’t even have this much resolve, we’ve truly wasted our time.”
“No need to say more to her. She’s just a prisoner rescued by the Marquis. She wouldn’t understand.”
Zhan Yuwu drew the curved blade from his waist and headed straight toward the direction of the moving mist.
Yan Zhong was about to follow, but after a moment’s hesitation, he turned back to Gongyang Wan:
“Gongyang Wan, we don’t expect you to help us stop that monster, but if you have any conscience left, try to evacuate the civilians from the city… at least then the Marquis’s constant efforts to keep you by his side and dispel the resentment in your heart won’t have been in vain.”
With those words, Yan Zhong transformed into a beam of rainbow light and flew away, quickly disappearing into the snow and wind.
Gongyang Wan stood frozen in place.
He’s been keeping me by his side… to dispel my resentment?
Since falling into Huo Qubing’s hands, he had indeed taken her everywhere: Chang’an, the imperial palace, the establishment of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and even brought her thousands of miles to the Kunlun Mountains. She had thought it was because Huo Qubing didn’t trust her, but thinking carefully, since Huo Qubing had already planted the “Return Heart Parasite” in her body, why would he go to such lengths?
When the Demon Suppression Bureau was first established, wouldn’t it have been better to execute her to establish the bureau’s reputation?
Undeniably, traveling with Huo Qubing had indeed calmed Gongyang Wan’s inner turmoil… at least she no longer constantly mocked and ridiculed him as she did when she first fell into his hands. Now, she mostly remained silent.
Gongyang Wan watched the two departing figures, her brows tightly knit. After a moment, she still stepped toward Western City.
Evacuating civilians was something she could help with, considering it as saving more lives… but she didn’t consider herself noble enough to sacrifice herself for others by entering the mist to die. Her life wasn’t just her own; it also belonged to Gongyang Zhuo. She had no right to decide her own life and death alone.
Gongyang Wan’s figure flashed, her speed increasing tenfold, like an arrow shooting across the snow, easily overtaking the slowly moving colorful mist to arrive at the gates of Western City.
Her gaze swept over the soldiers guarding the city gates and the civilians slowly queuing to enter the city, and she spoke gravely:
“Fifteen miles outside the city, a giant beast is approaching. If you don’t want to die, leave this place immediately!”
Her voice immediately drew everyone’s attention. People looked at her in confusion, whispering among themselves, but no one turned to leave.
Seeing no one moving, Gongyang Wan’s brows immediately furrowed.
“Who are you? Spreading such nonsense?” A soldier walked up to Gongyang Wan and asked sternly, “This is Western City. We have hundreds of soldiers guarding in shifts. What beast could break through our walls and enter the city?”
“This is no ordinary beast. It’s… an evil god!”
“Evil god?” The soldier snorted derisively. “I think you should queue up to enter the city and find a good doctor to check your head.”
Gongyang Wan’s gaze immediately turned cold.
I’m trying to persuade you to flee for your lives and you won’t listen. Determined to die, are you?
Gongyang Wan gave a cold laugh. Her face flickered, instantly transforming into the fierce, ferocious face of a man. She raised her right hand, and a sharp bird-like cry rang out!
Boom——!!!
The towering city wall was instantly shattered to pieces. More than a dozen soldiers standing on the wall fell with cries of alarm as dust billowed into the air.
Everyone immediately stared in terror at the male-faced Gongyang Wan, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Gongyang Wan waved her hand again, and a terrifying crack split the ground in two, missing the people by a hair’s breadth. This frightened them even more, and they fled frantically into the city!
“Monster! A monster!!!”
“A murderous demon is here! Run!!”
“Aaaahhhh——”
“…”
In just a moment, the area outside the city was completely empty, but Gongyang Wan showed no sign of stopping. Her goal was to evacuate the entire city…
Since kind persuasion couldn’t make these foolish people listen, she would become the “demon” that scared everyone away!
