Chapter 18: Liu Qingyan Throws Herself into Li Yuanhao's Arms

Liu Qingyan is now like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring; she panics at the slightest sign of movement and is desperate for someone to help her.

Now, that person has appeared.

She simply stopped flying to wait for Li Yuanhao.

In just a few breaths' time, Li Yuanhao caught up to Liu Qingyan.

Seeing the beauty he had pursued for many years waiting for him so pitifully, his heart melted instantly.

Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth and said, "I know about what happened just now; Lu Tianyu is too hateful!"

Cold light flickered in his eyes: "Don't worry, Qingyan, I will avenge you soon and kill that bastard!"

Having just received the news from his scouts, he had rushed over in a flurry to intercept Liu Qingyan, terrified of missing her.

But fortunately, he caught up.

It would have been better if Li Yuanhao hadn't mentioned it.

As soon as Lu Tianyu was mentioned, sorrow welled up in Liu Qingyan, and she burst into loud sobs.

She had originally thought this trip would go smoothly, but the result was the exact opposite.

In front of those tagalongs, Lu Tianyu tore up the marriage contract, crippled her attendants, and forcibly demanded a middle-grade spirit vein.

She had been running wildly just now, and now she could finally catch her breath.

Fear, tension, and grievance all erupted together, uncontrollable, pouring out all at once.

Liu Qingyan's graceful figure sobbed gently, and it pained Li Yuanhao's heart to see it!

Whoosh!

Li Yuanhao jumped onto the flying boat, pulled Liu Qingyan into his arms, and gently stroked her back: "Don't cry, Qingyan, I'm here."

"Come back to Nanhuang with me to rest for a while, and we will discuss this further."

Liu Qingyan did not resist.

At this moment, she needed an embrace to lean on most, and Li Yuanhao's embrace felt so warm and safe.

With the warm, fragrant, and soft beauty in his arms, Li Yuanhao's heart began to race with wild joy.

He thought to himself, Lu Tianyu, oh Lu Tianyu, you pushed Liu Qingyan into my arms with your own hands; how stupid can you be!

This is the number one beauty of the Zhuoliu Xingyu, pursued by countless people who could never have her, yet I have obtained her so easily.

If not for Liu Qingyan being here, he would have wanted to laugh out loud.

A long moment passed.

Liu Qingyan left Li Yuanhao's embrace and took the thoughtful handkerchief he handed her to wipe away her tears:

"I'm sorry, I've made a fool of myself in front of you!"

"Yuanhao, you know everything now; that brat is not human at all, he wanted to kill me."

"You must stand up for me!"

As she spoke, she threw herself into Li Yuanhao's arms and wrapped her hands around his waist.

Li Yuanhao's body trembled with excitement, his mind buzzing, and there was only Liu Qingyan left in it.

He looked toward the direction of Donghuang with murderous intent: "I knew that brat was no good; I warned you before."

"But you were blinded by that brat and thought he was so outstanding!"

"He looks handsome on the surface, a human-shaped dog, but he is more sinister than anyone!"

Liu Qingyan nodded gently: "Now I see clearly."

"Everything he did for me was fake; he deceived me. Yuanhao, you are the one who truly cherishes me."

"By the way, he might chase after us at any time, so let's go to your Nanhuang first."

"Alright!" Li Yuanhao urged the ship to sail rapidly toward Nanhuang.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

Li Yuanhao's communication bead rang, and a voice sounded from within: "Saint Son, Lu Tianyu's tracks have been discovered; he has appeared in the Manghuang Shanmai!"

Li Yuanhao immediately asked: "How many people?"

The other side replied: "Just him alone!"

"Too good!"

Li Yuanhao's eyes were cold: "Follow him closely, I will be there immediately."

He immediately took out his communication bead and notified Ying Gu: "Lu Tianyu is in the Manghuang Forest!"

"Mobilize all the Eagle Guards and kill that brat at any cost!"

He did not avoid Liu Qingyan while speaking.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Good for you, Lu Tianyu!"

"You really did follow and intercept me; what do you take me for!"

"Yuanhao, catch him but don't kill him yet; I want to torture him properly and make him wish he were dead!"

She gritted her teeth.

The direction she was traveling in just now was toward the Zhuoliu Xingyu, but now she turned back toward Nanhuang.

The nearest path was to cut diagonally through the Manghuang Forest, and she assumed Lu Tianyu was intercepting her in the Manghuang Forest.

At the same time.

Lu Jiuyuan's mansion.

The commander of the Lu family's secret guards came to report: "Clan Head, the Saint Son has headed to the Manghuang Forest."

"There are several groups of people of unknown origin following the Saint Son!"

Whoosh!

Lu Jiuyuan stood up abruptly: "Mobilize all secret guards and head to the Manghuang Forest!"

"You have finally lost your patience; you are finally going to make your move!"

His expression was grave.

Beside him, Luo Yunshang also stood up and said, "Should we notify the Great Elder and the others?"

"Since they failed to assassinate us last time, they will surely send powerful experts this time!"

She said with concern.

"I know this."

Lu Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "There must be their spies within the clan; the moment the Great Elder and the others take action, those people will know immediately."

"It is time to put the combined attack technique we have been practicing for the past two days to use."

"Don't forget, Yu'er has the Profound Void Mirror in his hands; if he cannot activate it, we can!"

"There is no time to lose, we shall set off now!"

At the edge of the Manghuang Forest, inside a depression on a small hill.

Lu Tianyu had already been recovering for two hours.

Although his complexion was still somewhat pale, he was no longer in any serious trouble.

Just at this moment.

A soft, charming woman's voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "Husband, there are several groups of people tracking you; you must be careful and stay on guard."

Lu Tianyu immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate and indeed discovered four groups of people hiding.

Additionally, there was another group approaching rapidly from a distance.

Among them, two groups were using Invisibility Talismans, hiding in the trees.

The closest group was using Earth-Escaping Talismans to hide underground, only one zhang away from him.

The furthest group was ten zhang away, and Lu Tianyu could determine that they were secret guards, people sent by his father.

"Good, they've come!"

Lu Tianyu's eyes were cold: "I was just worrying about not being able to find your tracks; now that you have come out, I won't have to look for you one by one!"

As for how many experts the other side might send, he did not fear them in the slightest.

By the time the people coming to assassinate him arrived, his father's people should certainly have arrived as well.

Besides, even if his father could not handle it, he still had other trump cards.

Lu Tianyu reached out, pulled Bahuang Laozu out from the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, and threw him onto the ground: "Trouble yourself to cast a spell and summon your Clone Realm!"

"I will give you one quarter of an hour!"

"If your clone has not arrived in a quarter of an hour, I will make your soul scatter and vanish!"

Bahuang Laozu dared not say a word of refusal: "Rest assured, it won't take a quarter of an hour!"

He sat cross-legged, silently chanting an obscure incantation, and formed seals with his hands: "Go!"

Whoosh!

An illusory rune shot up into the sky and then vanished from sight.

"Saint Son, it is done."

Bahuang Laozu's expression was respectful: "My clone is in the depths of the Manghuang Forest; it will be here very soon."

As the Ancestor who suppressed the Bahuang Star Domain, he had always resided in the Manghuang Forest, only no one had ever discovered it.

Lu Tianyu snorted coldly: "We shall see when it arrives."

"I warn you, do not try to play any tricks on me; you know the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Bahuang Laozu looked aggrieved: "How would I dare!"

"Who wouldn't be afraid of your soul, which is comparable to the Emperor Realm."

Lu Tianyu nodded: "Why did you possess Lu Qingyan? Is he already dead?"
