Chapter 386

Lu Chengren felt as if Ye Yu were a demon.

Every time he took a step back,

Ye Yu would press even closer.

He wouldn't let him go until he had driven him to a dead end.

Seeing that Lu Chengren still hadn't acted,

Ye Yu didn't urge him, but slowly drew the Winter Thunder blade from Nangong Pushe's waist.

In the silent night,

the sound of the blade leaving its scabbard was piercingly sharp.

Before the Winter Thunder blade was fully unsheathed,

Lu Chengren moved.

With one strike, he killed Xu Zhihu.

Fresh blood spread.

Lu Chengren's mental defenses completely collapsed.

He slumped to the ground,

gasping for air in large gulps.

Ye Yu returned the Winter Thunder blade to its scabbard.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lu, you have saved your own life."

Lu Chengren looked up at Ye Yu, his eyes filled with fear.

Ye Yu chuckled and continued, "If I were you,

I would only do one thing right now.

And that is to pray hard that I slaughter Xu Xiao as soon as possible.

Only then can your Lu family continue to survive, understand?

Oh, wait, in this city, there seem to be Northern Liang troops stationed as well.

Whether they will take action against you is hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengren immediately looked toward the direction where the Northern Liang troops were stationed in the city.

Ye Yu left the Lu family residence with a light laugh.

The next morning,

the world in Nandao City had turned upside down.

For some reason,

the Lu family, as in-laws of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, suddenly attacked and slaughtered the thousand Northern Liang troops stationed there,

and wrote down the eight great crimes of Northern Liang to display to the public.

Gu Jiantang led two hundred thousand troops to rush to Nandao City immediately

and stationed them there.

Everyone in the Liyang Dynasty began to wonder

why the Lu family of Nandao City would suddenly break ties with the Xu family of Northern Liang.

Had he forgotten that his wife was the legitimate daughter of Xu Xiao?

Or perhaps,

the Lu family also believed that Northern Liang was about to fall.

With this rebellion by the Lu family,

Long Hushan suddenly gained confidence

and began spreading rumors,

claiming that the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion had forced their Sect Master Zhao Danxia to his death.

They and Xu Xiao would be irreconcilable.

With these two forces taking the lead,

other martial arts sects that had been trampled by Northern Liang also began to rise up one after another,

jointly organizing an alliance to crusade against the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

Of course, it was only organized locally for the time being.

To actually have them charge head-on against the Northern Liang cavalry would be a pipe dream.

But when it came to shouting and cheering, these martial arts figures were experts.

Thus, the name of Ye Yu from Xiangyang City

suddenly resounded throughout the entire Liyang.

All martial arts figures believed that it was Xu Xiao's many evil deeds that had provoked the dissatisfaction of a peerless expert.

And Ye Yu was the existence that would overthrow the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

For a time, Northern Liang became even more chaotic.

Two days later,

Ye Yu and Nangong Pushe were less than thirty miles away from the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion.

Upon learning of the rumors outside,

Nangong Pushe realized it instantly.

She said softly, "You deliberately let Lu Chengren kill Xu Zhihu.

Not to watch a good show,

but to foster a situation where Northern Liang is the enemy of the whole world?"

Ye Yu feigned surprise, "A good show?

Where would a good show come from?

A heartless man killing his wife doesn't count as a good show.

As for you saying I fostered a situation where Northern Liang is the enemy of the whole world,

that's too much.

I hadn't expected things to turn out this way either.

Letting Lu Chengren kill Xu Zhihu and then letting him go

was merely to lower Xu Xiao's prestige in Northern Liang.

That it reached this point

only shows that Xu Xiao has made too many enemies."

Nangong Pushe narrowed her eyes slightly.

The longer she stayed by Ye Yu's side, the more mysterious she found this man.

Peerless cultivation combined with peerless schemes.

Nangong Pushe was very glad she hadn't become Ye Yu's enemy.

Looking at the Northern Liang city drawing ever closer,

Nangong Pushe asked softly, "Are you ready?

The Northern Liang Prince's Mansion is known as the forbidden ground for martial artists.

Mount Qingliang and the Listening Tide Pavilion are filled with countless experts."

Ye Yu chuckled, "Are you worried about me?

Don't worry, I said I would let you go to the Listening Tide Pavilion, so I definitely will.

Just wait obediently to marry me then."

Nangong Pushe glared at Ye Yu,

then said with some confusion, "No, that's not right.

Xu Xiao has four children.

Besides Xu Fengnian in the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion,

there is also Xu Weixiong at the Jixia Academy."

Ye Yu smiled, "Xu Weixiong has already become my wife.

Naturally, she must live well.

In the future, when you see her, you will inevitably have to call her sister."
