Chapter 394: Identity Exposed
Yuwen Tuo held Ning Ke tightly, and Ning Ke also stretched out her hands to hold Yuwen Tuo tightly.
Although not much time had passed, both of them, having long been accustomed to each other's company, felt as if several centuries had gone by.
After Ning Ke pushed Yuwen Tuo away, she looked at Taba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue to the side and said:
"Alright, now that you have returned.
There is no need to keep these two people anymore."
Just as Ning Ke was preparing to take action to finish them both off, she was grabbed by Yuwen Tuo.
"I still need the Nuwa Stone to help me activate the Kongtong Seal; let's discuss the matter of these two after the Kongtong Seal is activated."
Since Yuwen Tuo had spoken this way, Ning Ke found it difficult to refute him further.
However, Ning Ke had to tell Yuwen Tuo about Duan Fengyun first, though of course, she certainly could not tell Yuwen Tuo Duan Fengyun's true identity, otherwise her own identity would surely be exposed as well.
Just as Yuwen Tuo was preparing to take action to lift the restrictions on Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er, Ning Ke grabbed Yuwen Tuo's hand and said:
"Yuwen Tuo, don't be in such a rush, I have something very important to tell you."
Seeing Ning Ke's serious expression, Yuwen Tuo withdrew his hand and signaled for Ning Ke to continue.
Seeing this, Ning Ke continued:
"That Brother Qin Shuang of yours is truly full of hidden depths.
His name is not Qin Shuang at all; his real name is Duan Fengyun.
He is a lackey of the Demon Realm. During the time you were disguised as Jianchi, he impersonated you and slaughtered the innocent everywhere.
Moreover, he has learned the Divine Fire Clone; the next time you see him, you must not give him any chance, you must eradicate this lackey of the Demon Realm."
After hearing Ning Ke's words, Yuwen Tuo said with an incredulous look:
"This is impossible, how could Brother Qin Shuang be a lackey of the Demon Realm?
Ning Ke, you must be mistaken. I trust Brother Qin Shuang very much; he absolutely would not be a lackey of the Demon Realm.
There must be some misunderstanding in this."
As fellow masters of the Xuanyuan Sword, Yuwen Tuo's favorable impression of Duan Fengyun was not just a little bit; he absolutely did not believe Duan Fengyun was the kind of person Ning Ke described.
Ning Ke looked at Yuwen Tuo; she did not expect that even now, Yuwen Tuo would still trust Duan Fengyun so much.
Ning Ke knew that it was simply impossible to make Yuwen Tuo believe what she said now.
Seeing this, Ning Ke said no more. She had to find a way to sow discord between Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo; she absolutely could not allow Duan Fengyun and Yuwen Tuo to have any space for contact, otherwise her identity would definitely be exposed.
Seeing that Ning Ke did not speak, Yuwen Tuo sat back in his original position, then snapped his fingers slightly, and the restrictions on the imprisoned Taba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue were lifted.
Yuwen Tuo also pretended to have recovered, and looking at Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er with a grateful face, he said:
"Xiaoxue, Yu'er, thank you both!"
Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er were excited to see Jianchi recover, but then Taba Yu'er began to worry:
"I don't know how Jing Chou is doing now!
Brother Jianchi, just now, in order to cover for us, Jing Chou lured the bad guy away.
I am worried that something happened to Jing Chou now. Brother Jianchi, you must find a way to save Jing Chou."
After Yuwen Tuo recovered, through Ning Ke's description, he already knew the person who came was definitely Yang Su, and a murderous intent toward Yang Su had already arisen in his heart. Today, the grievances between him and Yang Su should be settled.
However, before that, he had to rescue his mother, otherwise, no one knew what changes would occur in the Otherworld after Yang Su died. Yuwen Tuo smiled slightly:
"Yu'er, don't worry, I will take you to a safe place first.
After you are safe, I will go save Brother Jing Chou.
Xiaoxue, let's go!"
After speaking, Yuwen Tuo pulled Yu Xiaoxue's hand, preparing to leave.
Yuwen Tuo revealed an imposing back, and this back made Taba Yu'er feel incredibly familiar.
In Taba Yu'er's eyes, the figures of Jianchi and Yuwen Tuo began to slowly overlap, and then the two figures actually merged perfectly together.
Taba Yu'er suddenly thought of the look in Yuwen Tuo's eyes she had seen once before, which was exactly the same as the look in Jianchi's eyes just now.
Taba Yu'er suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and looked at Yuwen Tuo in disbelief.
Yuwen Tuo turned around to look at Taba Yu'er, and not yet knowing that Taba Yu'er had seen through his identity, he said:
"Yu'er, let's go quickly.
Only after you are settled will I go save Brother Jing Chou."
Taba Yu'er ignored Yuwen Tuo, but instead stepped forward and pulled Yu Xiaoxue from Yuwen Tuo's hand back to her side.
Yu Xiaoxue said with a puzzled look:
"Yu'er, what are you doing?
Weren't you just worried about Jing Chou's safety?
Why aren't you leaving now?"
Seeing Taba Yu'er's appearance, Yuwen Tuo knew that Taba Yu'er must have discovered something.
Yuwen Tuo said with an evil smile:
"Yu'er, did you discover something?"
Seeing this evil smile and hearing the voice, Taba Yu'er finally confirmed her guess.
Taba Yu'er shouted:
"My name is not for you to call!
You have no right to call my name, Yuwen Tuo!"
Yu Xiaoxue looked at Taba Yu'er and shook her head:
"Yu'er, did you mistake him for someone else?
He is Brother Jianchi, not some Yuwen Tuo!"
Taba Yu'er shook her head and said:
"No, he is Yuwen Tuo.
I didn't notice before, but I just realized that he is exactly the same as the figure of Yuwen Tuo in my mind.
Are you telling me you are Jianchi or Yuwen Tuo?"
Yuwen Tuo had not expected his identity to be discovered by Taba Yu'er.
However, now that things had reached this point and his identity had been exposed, there was no need for him to continue acting.
Yuwen Tuo laughed heartily and said:
"What do you think!
Didn't you just state my identity yourself?
That's right, I am Yuwen Tuo, and I am also Jianchi!
How about it, very disappointed, aren't you? You never thought that the Jianchi you worked so hard to save would actually be your great enemy, Yuwen Tuo!"
Yu Xiaoxue stepped forward in disbelief and grabbed Yuwen Tuo's hand, wanting to see clearly into Yuwen Tuo's heart.
Now, what she saw was no longer the calm and natural heart from before, but a Yuwen Tuo whose hands were stained with blood.
After confirming Yuwen Tuo's identity, Yu Xiaoxue retreated several large steps, and she said unwillingly:
"This is impossible, how could Brother Jianchi be Yuwen Tuo!" Taba Yu'er ignored Yu Xiaoxue; she knew that she could not continue speaking with Yuwen Tuo at this moment, and she had to take Xiaoxue away as quickly as possible to tell Chen Jingchou the truth of the matter.
Taba Yu'er pulled Yu Xiaoxue's hand and prepared to cast a spell to leave, but Yuwen Tuo had not yet achieved his goal, so how could he let them leave?
Yuwen Tuo pretended to reach out and attack in front of Yu Xiaoxue; feeling that she was in mortal danger, Yu Xiaoxue immediately used the power of the Nuwa Stone to counterattack.
This was exactly what Yuwen Tuo wanted; he took the Kongtong Seal from his bosom with his other hand and placed it between his palm and Yu Xiaoxue, using the power of the Nuwa Stone to wash away the seal on the exterior of the Kongtong Seal and activate its power.
By this time, Taba Yu'er had already discovered Yuwen Tuo's goal, but Ning Ke had been watching like a tiger eyeing its prey from the side, giving Taba Yu'er no chance to strike at all.
With the help of the Nuwa Stone's power, the Kongtong Seal finally shed its shackles, revealing a crystal-clear appearance.
Yuwen Tuo carefully picked up the Kongtong Seal and said with an evil smile:
"Thank you for activating the Kongtong Seal for me!"
Seeing Yuwen Tuo in this state, Yu Xiaoxue felt a sense of pain in her heart.
Yu Xiaoxue grabbed Taba Yu'er's hand, and after a burst of white smoke, the two disappeared before the eyes of Yuwen Tuo and Ning Ke.
Just as Ning Ke was about to step forward to pursue them, she was stopped by Yuwen Tuo; Yuwen Tuo told Ning Ke that his top priority was to save his mother, and the matter of Taba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue could be set aside for now.
In truth, Yuwen Tuo had let Taba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue go on purpose; if he had not experienced the persona of Jianchi, he would never have felt pity for Yu Xiaoxue, and he absolutely would have taken Yu Xiaoxue's Nuwa Stone without a second thought.
But after experiencing the persona of Jianchi, Yuwen Tuo fully recognized this innocent Nuwa's Daughter, Yu Xiaoxue, and his heart, while incarnated as Jianchi, had long since developed a fondness for her.
Therefore, the current Yuwen Tuo would simply not take the Nuwa Stone from Yu Xiaoxue, but since Ning Ke was here, it was not convenient for Yuwen Tuo to point it out directly.
So he had no choice but to deliberately let Yu Xiaoxue and Taba Yu'er go.
Under the gaze of Shuxiang and Ning Ke, Yuwen Tuo took the Kongtong Seal and transformed into a streak of firelight, entering the Otherworld.
Today was the day he would reunite with his mother, and Yuwen Tuo certainly could not go dressed in rags.
In the blink of an eye, he took his martial attire out from the Void; after changing into the martial attire, the General Yuwen who once looked down upon the world had returned.
Feeling that something was missing from his Void, Yuwen Tuo said with a firm expression:
"Old friend, don't worry, I will definitely take you back out from the Jian Ku."
After all, the Xuanyuan Sword had been separated from Yuwen Tuo for more than ten years, and now that the Xuanyuan Sword was gone, he was indeed a bit unaccustomed to it.
However, now was not the time for him to go and retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword; with the Kongtong Seal in hand, he had to save his mother as quickly as possible.
Yuwen Tuo traveled through the Otherworld with the Kongtong Seal, and his destination was the Otherworld Prison ahead, where his mother had been imprisoned for eighteen years.
At this moment, Ning Ke and Shuxiang had also changed back into their original clothes; the two found a carriage and waited slowly for Yuwen Tuo's arrival at the place they had agreed upon with him.
At this moment, led by Jian Shiwu, Jing Chou arrived at the Heaven and Earth Sword Vault by mistake.
And Duan Fengyun, who was in the Sword Spirit Void World, also received a prompt from the sword spirit saying that someone had arrived.
Duan Fengyun didn't even have to think; it must be that Jian Shiwu had brought Jing Chou to the Heaven and Earth Sword Vault.
Since Jing Chou had already arrived, then Yang Su and Yuwen Tuo should also be arriving soon.
It seems the great battle between the master and disciple, Yang Su and Yuwen Tuo, is about to take the stage.
