Chapter 316 Hehe or not...
"Oh my! Liu Qing, look at this! These days even pigs can talk, and they're so arrogant. They almost blackened my beautiful face with their breath."
As she spoke, Hua Buyu pinched her nose with one hand and waved the air in front of her with the other in a serious manner.
"You...you're so ungrateful!"
He rushed forward and reached out to grab the red dress.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Qing struck back with a palm, sending him staggering back several meters, vomiting blood, and then collapsing to the ground.
"Guards! Kill them!"
Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward, and even Xuan Yuan and his companions who came from behind were surrounded, forming a large circle at the city gate.
Hua Buyu wasn't intimidated at all; on the contrary, her eyes shone with excitement. It had been a long time since she had seen such a thrilling scene.
Suddenly, her shoulder was jolted, and Qingque flashed to her side.
"Hehe~ Qingque, you've joined the battle too?"
Qingque glanced at her coldly, "I don't want you to ruin Miss's reputation before we even enter the city."
"..."
Hua Buyu's face fell instantly.
Hehe, no hehe...
"Kill! Brothers, kill these damned foreigners!"
Seeing that another helper had appeared beside Hua Buyu, and that the men behind him were getting closer and closer, the centurion was helped up and hurriedly gave orders to the soldiers around him.
In an instant, hundreds of swords were raised simultaneously, their cold gleam illuminating the gray city walls.
"master?"
Seeing that Xuan Yuan remained unmoved, Fei E couldn't help but remind him, since Hua Buyu was pregnant and it wouldn't be good to disturb the fetus.
Seeing that a bloody battle was inevitable, Xin Moling worried that Qingque would not be able to protect Hua Buyu, so she picked up the Biyue Sword and was about to join them. Before she could even lift her leg, she heard a loud bang.
"boom!"
The centurion, who was being supported by others, suddenly had his entire right arm explode into pieces in broad daylight, and fainted on the spot.
"Ahhh!"
"Ugh~"
Some people couldn't bear the sight of blood and flesh flying everywhere and bent over, vomiting uncontrollably.
"What...what...how is this?"
The young soldier supporting him was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over.
"Ha! Is this how a country is governed by a hundred-mile-long cliff?"
A voice, both ethereal and ironic, entered the ears of those present, neither too loud nor too soft, chilling them to the bone despite the warm daylight.
At this moment, a snow-white robe slowly appeared before him. Xie Cangming's face was calm, his long, narrow eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he was brewing a terrible storm. His blue eyes were like a deep, cold pool, reflecting a bloodthirsty and ruthless look.
He walked up to the man and, without giving him a chance to faint, swung his long arm. The centurion suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and woke up. The broken right scapula was clearly visible, and his expression was one of unbearable pain.
When all the soldiers, including the centurion, saw his face, their legs went weak, and in no time they all knelt down, not daring to lift their heads.
"Hey~ Why are you all kneeling down? What's going on?"
Hua Buyu covered her stomach with both hands, afraid that her son would see this bloody scene and it would have a negative impact on him.
Xuan Yuan stood not far away and beckoned to her with his finger.
"What's wrong? I'm watching a good show."
"No words."
"Ok?"
"I'll silence you."
"..."
Xie Cangming stood with one hand behind his back, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. His tall figure was enveloped in a faint halo, and countless ancient Cang soldiers were prostrate at his feet. He coldly surveyed everything, like a god descended from the sky, not to be profaned.
The centurion with the missing arm was already terrified, trembling all over, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
In ancient times, the only people with white hair were royalty and the supreme ruler of the Xuanming Palace.
He had seen the Emperor and two princes of the Ancient Cang royal family, as well as the Holy Maiden of the Xuanming Palace—these were the only four white-haired individuals in the entire Ancient Cang. So who was this terrifying man before him? And who dared to address the Emperor by his given name…?
"Eh~ How disgusting!"
Hua Buyu covered her nose, staring disdainfully at the liquid on the ground; a foul smell filled the surrounding air.
Xie Cangming raised an eyebrow slightly, then slowly raised his hand, pointed his fingertip at the ground, and uttered a few words in a cold and ruthless manner.
"You... deserve to die."
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes... This servant deserves to die!"
The man endured the excruciating pain, prostrating himself on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, not daring to look up at him or beg for a chance to live.
"You deserve to die!"
He repeated it twice without the slightest hesitation, and then suddenly pulled it to his waist.
"Pfft~"
The surroundings were silent except for the sound of flesh being torn apart. He committed suicide in an extremely cruel way to atone for his sins, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would not be appeased enough.
Blood continued to flow in all directions. Xie Cangming, who was always a germaphobe, took a step back, his indifferent eyes mixed with a hint of disgust.
He looked up and saw that at that moment, everyone at the city gate who had seen Xie Cangming's true face was kneeling at his feet.
"So, am I eligible to enter the city?"
Of course, this statement was not a question to the soldiers' opinion, but a warning, as in the fate of the centurion.
He was no longer the mysterious and unpredictable Imperial Preceptor Yuan Qi, nor was he the Xie Cangming who had been chatting and laughing with the others earlier. No one in Gu Cang could stop him in the slightest.
Turning back, Xie Cangming gave the group a slight smile.
"Let's go!"
And so, the group swaggered in behind Xie Cangming and entered Lin Yue City.
Along the way, regardless of whether they were soldiers, generals, or ordinary people of Gu Cang, anyone who saw Xie Cangming in white clothes and white hair would immediately kneel down in fear without hesitation, not even daring to raise their heads easily, until his figure was out of sight, before they dared to get up.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Xie Cangming smoothed his flowing long hair, a hint of pride on his face.
"Oh my! Xie Cangming, I didn't expect you to actually get into Lin Yue City with that head of white hair, but..."
Hua Buyu walked around to his front, touched her stomach with one hand, and complained with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Why didn't you come out sooner? You didn't have to let that guy disgust me, he scared me to death!"
Xie Cangming: "..."
“That person who blocked my way will surely die, but I also remember that a few days ago when you were playing cards with Qingque, you said something.”
"What are you talking about?"
Xie Cangming didn't even glance at her, and walked away to the side.
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
"...Hey! Xie Cangming, I'm not a bird! I was just scouting ahead for you guys!"
On the Divine Light Platform of the Mingshui Palace, Baili Juebi stood with his hands behind his back, while a large group of middle-aged men in black robes knelt respectfully behind him.
He stared at the distant horizon, his eyes swirling with unfathomable, complex thoughts, as cold and white as frost. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"He...is back."
"Your Majesty, shall we issue the order for a grand welcome throughout the city?"
"No need, let him do as he pleases."
"Yes."
