Chapter 206: Self-Rescue

Yang Jun's words silenced the women outside the carriage.

Although his words were mocking, the fact was indeed so, leaving them momentarily unable to respond.

In their eyes, Zhou Tian was everything; as long as Zhou Tian succeeded, they cared nothing for anything else.

Yun Xiyue was in the carriage; they knew she possessed a pure sacred body, so they could not launch indiscriminate attacks.

Thus they tried to force Yang Jun out, but unexpectedly he silenced them with a sharp retort.

"Mingyue, you should still take your disciples and leave."

Yang Jun looked at Yu Mingyue and spoke again to persuade her.

Between him and Yu Mingyue, he did not want to resort to major conflict.

After all, his greatest threat was not Yu Mingyue but Yun Fengyun and Zhou Tian.

For now, Yu Mingyue is still kept in check by Yang Jun.

After all, her adoptive parents are still in Yang Jun's hands.

She wants to free herself from bondage, either by capturing Yang Jun to exchange for her adoptive parents,

or by entering the Prince's Mansion to rescue her own parents.

But she cannot accomplish either.

"Yang Jun, hiding behind the Sixth Princess—what kind of manly conduct is that?"

"This venerable one disdains harming women and children, so I have not acted; do not think you can stall—no one can rescue you from my grasp."

【Ha, truly laughable—your adoptive parents are in my hands; why would I need to hide behind Xi Yue?】

【You dare kill me? Fine—when your adoptive parents are dragged out, let's see if you still dare not love me.】

"Shameless!"

Yu Mingyue shouted angrily; though she had already appeared, she now could not move from her spot.

As she spoke her rebuke, her stance froze and her garments fluttered without wind.

Yet Yang Jun tightly embraced Yun Xiyue; their eyes met, and a deeper affection flowed between them.

Yu Mingyue's interception, in Yang Jun's expectation, turned out to be the simplest pattern.

He had expected another group lying in ambush, who would charge out for results, caring nothing for his or Yun Xiyue's life or death.

"It seems unwilling to retreat, so we must fight."

Yang Jun shook his head slightly, and the Dragon Nurturing Divine Technique flowed through his body.

In the next moment, a figure burst through the carriage roof, charging straight at Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong swiftly dodged, evading the strike.

A long sword appeared, chopping off a piece of the carriage body.

Seeing the strike fail, Qinglong quickened his pace and attacked rapidly.

Yu Linglong's expression shifted, and she accelerated her evasion.

At that moment, Xiao Ruoshuang brandished a long sword, intending to rescue Yu Linglong.

But just then Baihu appeared, waving his sword with a swishing sound, blocking Xiao Ruoshuang.

Xiao Ruoshuang swung her sword, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.

However, a fist struck heavily against the long sword in her hand.

With a clang, the sword rebounded, emitting a buzzing sound.

This sight shocked Xiao Ruoshuang.

The Black Tortoise appeared, striking with just his fists, forcing Xiao Ruoshuang to retreat in disarray.

Yu Linglong leapt up and landed on the ground.

Qinglong lunged forward, continuing the assault.

Seeing both her disciples subdued, Yu Mingyue snorted coldly and rushed toward the carriage.

But just as Yu Mingyue charged forward, another figure appeared, blocking her.

The Vermilion Bird appeared, blocking her.

"Yang Jun, just how many trump cards do you have?"

Yu Mingyue, seeing this, was instantly consumed by rage.

Everything, time and again, has been disrupted by Yang Jun.

Now, dealing with this matter is anything but easy.

"Mingyue, why put yourself through this again?"

Yang Jun remained seated in the carriage, with no intention whatsoever of getting out.

To him, it was not yet his turn to act.

As usual, Yang Jun's habit of playing it safe has always been his way.

As long as there are cards to play, he must stay cautious.

Why, when things are fine, must he himself step forward?

Such an outcome is hardly good—must he torment himself to the point of being killed before he quits?

【Fight on, slowly fight; the better the hand, the more caution needed.】

Yu Mingyue snorted coldly, paying no heed to what Yang Jun said.

She stepped forward with both feet, her form flowing, her aura surging.

At present, she wants to first seize Yun Xiyue.

Then give Yang Jun a proper lesson—ideally smashing his mouth to pieces; only then would she consider it over.

But as she waved her hands and thrust out two palms, while the Vermilion Bird flew backward, she saw the carriage driver, Deng Jian.

What surprised Yu Mingyue was that this person seemed overly calm.

I was already just a step away from the carriage, yet the carriage driver kept smiling at me.

Yu Mingyue furrowed her brows, yet she felt no danger.

"Miss Mingyue, please, my young master has already instructed that we must not be rude to the miss, lest we lose our lives for nothing; miss, please."

Deng Jian spoke with a smile; although Yu Mingyue's brows were tightly furrowed, she also couldn't sense any martial cultivation on him.

This person was already Yang Jun's last line of defense, yet on Yang Jun's side, there was not the slightest opposition.

This situation made Yu Mingyue feel rather uneasy instead.

Could it be that Yang Jun still has some terrifying trump card for this matter? Or perhaps there is something else hidden in the carriage?

Yu Mingyue raised her eyebrows, and after a long standoff with Yang Jun, she continually had unexpected feelings.

Moreover, all of Yang Jun's actions forced Yu Mingyue to take this young man seriously.

Looking at his reaction, that performance, the impact it brought, were all enormous.

Most importantly, Yang Jun each time was able to avoid danger in time.

Time and again turning danger into safety, Yang Jun continually felt surprised in his heart.

Yu Mingyue had previously divined that the ominous star would shift east; could it be that Yang Jun is not the ominous star but the new mandate of heaven?

This discovery made Yu Mingyue's heart even more shocked.

Forget it, forget it; why bother thinking more at this point?

Since it's within reach, why not go and investigate personally?

Yu Mingyue reached out her right hand, but as soon as she touched the carriage, she quickly withdrew her hand.

The carriage was coated with white powder, and her fingertips happened to get some.

In an instant, she felt a burning sensation that followed.

Such toxicity is too fierce.

This is something hard to encounter in the martial world.

Seeing Yu Mingyue poisoned, Qinglong no longer bothered with Yu Linglong, flashed his figure, and retreated to the carriage's side.

"Sect Master Yu, please return."

"Hah, come in? Only I have the right to enter; you have no chance to come in."

"Mingyue, do you still want to come in?"

Inside the carriage, Yang Jun smiled and spoke, while Yu Mingyue gritted her teeth.
