After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 714 Take you home
A strong stench of blood permeated the entire long street.

Having exhausted themselves for half the night, Chenlong and Moyi were panting as they looked at each other.

Mo Yi hadn't expected Chen Long's skill to be so profound, enough to exhaust him to the point of near collapse.

On the other hand, Chenlong, though also a little out of breath, showed no signs of being in a sorry state.

What truly made Mo Yi wary was not the formidable internal strength Chen Long displayed, but rather his restraint in controlling his killing intent.

Over the years, Loulan had been investigating Chenlong, so he knew very well that Chenlong was the type of person who would kill to defeat his enemies.

To put it more simply, Chenlong couldn't control his bloodlust.

This is perhaps a secret that even Meng Qianqian and her group have not discovered.

However, tonight, in order to get rid of him completely, Chenlong changed.

It turns out that it wasn't just myself who improved during the battle.

After a few more moves, Mo Yi's movements became sluggish.

Chenlong still didn't use his internal energy to hurt him, but instead used his sword energy to leave a small wound on his body. It wasn't fatal, but it aggravated the loss of blood and energy.

If this continues, it won't be long before I can dodge Chenlong's attacks.

He must find a way to deal with it.

Either find Chenlong's weakness, or shake him off.

Neither of them is easy.

Fortunately, his master had taught him a life-saving skill and warned him not to use it lightly, because it would be extremely taxing on him and would leave him in a semi-paralyzed state after use.

If he fails to defeat Chenlong, he will become the fish on the chopping block.

Mo Yi did not hesitate for long.

He decided to fight to the death!
He gripped the hilt of the Tang sword with both hands, and his internal energy suddenly reversed.

Chenlong paused for a moment.

Mo Yi was clearly at his limit, so why did he suddenly unleash such a powerful aura?

His knife—

Chenlong's hand holding the sword began to tremble slightly.

His sword energy was briefly suppressed by Mo Yi's saber energy.

He frowned deeply.

What kind of evil practice is this?

Mo Yi is willing to sacrifice his mental and physical strength, and he is only allowed to succeed, not fail!
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as he was about to unleash his powerful strike, a faint singing voice suddenly drifted from the distant horizon.

“Ara…Ada…Ara…”

Like heavenly music, it evokes images of ethereal snow goddesses in one's mind.

No, she is not a goddess.

She is a priestess.

This folk song... was left behind by that witch—

"Uh-"

A sharp pain suddenly shot through Mo Yi's mind, and his dantian energy suddenly stagnated. The move he had painstakingly gathered all his mental strength to create instantly vanished into nothingness.

"impossible……"

He had barely finished speaking when he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Chen Long narrowed his eyes.

It's now!

He gripped his longsword tightly and slashed fiercely at his head!

Keng!
A long flute blocked Chenlong's heavy sword.

The flute was split in two.

But it was in this instant of change that a figure swept through the air, braving the aftershocks of Chenlong's vast sword energy, and brought Mo Yi to the other end of the long street.

Chenlong stared at the other party with icy eyes: "Yucheng Tower?"

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Yu Chenglou's mouth. He raised his hand to wipe it away, his breathing slightly labored: "As expected of Chenlong, my family heirloom has been cleaved in two by you..."

His precious flute could even withstand Mo Xie's sword.

Moreover, even though he had already withstood half of it, he was still injured by the remaining sword energy.

Chenlong asked, "Yucheng Tower, which side are you from?"

Yu Chenglou knocked Mo Yi unconscious with a single palm strike.

Then he looked at Chenlong and said, "Let me explain first. I know this may be hard to believe, but I have never betrayed our alliance."

Chenlong pointed his longsword at him: "An alliance? You're not qualified to be an ally. I'm taking his life. If you try to interfere, I'll kill you too!"

"Wait!"

Yu Chenglou subconsciously took a step back and reached out to block Chenlong. "I have my reasons! The Queen of Loulan gave me orders that if I cannot bring back Mo Yi, my family will be executed!"

Chen Long said expressionlessly, "What do I care about your family's life or death?"

Yu Chenglou said, "What I want to say is that the Princess Consort has already discovered that I have been secretly dealing with you, which is why she ordered me to come and negotiate with you."

Chen Long said coldly, "You have no right to negotiate either!"

Yu Chenglou hurriedly said, "I know, I know! Let me finish what I have to say! You may not care about the lives of my family, but you should at least care about the lives of your own family!"

Chenlong paused, his hand still as he drew his sword.

Seeing that his words had finally worked, Yu Chenglou breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed hard, and said, "The Shang family's hostages are still in the hands of the Loulan Princess. If you kill Mo Yi, she will definitely take her anger out on the Shang family's hostages. Although she may not necessarily kill them, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to bear the thought of them suffering physical pain!"

“Right now, the princess is unaware that the wizard was killed by you. If she did find out, it would be detrimental to the merchants’ hostages. But if you are willing to hand Mo Yi over to me, I can buy you some time.”

"To be honest, I have already contacted my informants in Loulan. They will help rescue the merchants' hostages. It will be successful soon. I guarantee that until then, the princess will know nothing about the sorcerer."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Chenlong's eyes: "How do I know you're telling the truth?"

Yu Chenglou assured him, "I will not betray you! If you are worried, you can drug me or use poison on me, you can do whatever you want!"

Chenlong said indifferently, "Even if you don't have the guts to betray me, can you rescue the hostages from the princess?"

Yu Chenglou: "If I cannot, you may do as you please!"

Chenlong said, "Your life is worthless to me."

Yu Chenglou sighed, "Do you still remember the wind chimes I gave you?"

Chenlong remembers.

Yu Chenglou said solemnly, "Do you think that's a wind chime you just bought on the street? No, it was handed to me personally by the merchant's hostage."

Chen Long's eyes flickered.

He also said something to me.

Yu Chenglou said slowly and deliberately, "Give it to Xiao Jiu. Tell her that she will see the iron flower performance."

……

The first rays of dawn pierced through the mist, casting a golden glow on the majestic eaves.

Meng Qianqian held Alna in her arms and walked quietly down the street as it awoke from the darkness.

Passersby turned their heads to look, but were all turned away by Lu Yuan's piercing gaze.

Meng Lang felt a pang of pain in his heart.

He didn't understand what caused this discomfort.

He simply gazed at the girl who had passed away, at the withered flower bud before him, wanting to silently send her off on her final journey.

Meng Qianqian held Alna in her arms as they stood atop the capital city.

“Ara...Ada...Ara...Ada…”

She bid farewell to Arna with her mother's song.

“Take Alna home…”

"Okay, I'll take you home."

Meng Qianqian gazed in the direction of Loulan, "I will definitely take you home."
