Chapter 146: If You Want to Leave, Leave Quickly
Not long after the people from Golden Horse Knights Hall had left, two fierce figures in black masks arrived here. Upon finding the room empty, both men were furious and set the inn ablaze.
The Dark Demon’s followers were now completely insane.
With two brothers dead, four others severely injured, and the throne’s occupant wounded and in critical condition... such a devastating blow ignited a fire in the hearts of the martial sovereigns within the Dark Demon, driving them to act recklessly without regard for consequences.
At this moment, Butian Pavilion was in complete chaos!
The attendant, failing to locate Chu Yang after a long search, hurried back to report to Butian Pavilion.
When Wu Qianqian heard that Chu Yang had suddenly gone missing, it felt as if five thunderbolts had struck her, nearly causing her to faint on the spot. The unfortunate attendant was promptly thrown into a deep dungeon by Wu Qianqian!
Then, everyone in Butian Pavilion mobilized to search. Although no one knew who the black-clad youth they were looking for was, they all understood that this situation was serious...
Tie Butian quickly received the news, rushed over on horseback, and took command at Butian Pavilion; he personally awaited updates from any fronts, continuously dispatching troops...
The two military camps surrounding Butian Pavilion activated all personnel and dispersed into Iron Cloud City to search...
Then, news of the battle between the two kings on Iron Cloud Street reached them.
Tie Butian immediately sensed that this battle might be related to Chu Yang and promptly sent people to investigate, even dispatching his two personal bodyguards.
After all, this was a king's battle; for ordinary people to go, it was akin to walking to their deaths! There was no way it would be of any use.
As Tie Butian arranged everything, he paced back and forth with a furrowed brow, feeling disturbed and worried. Chu Imperial Seat… he wouldn't be in any trouble, would he?
Recalling what had been mentioned a few days earlier about Diwu Qingrou possibly taking action against Butian Pavilion and Chu Imperial Seat, Tie Butian was even more anxious.
Wu Qianqian sat in Chu Yang's usual chair, her eyes vacant and her face streaked with tears, utterly lost and unable to handle anything. The more she thought about it, the worse her thoughts became; the more she thought negatively, the more sorrowful she felt, and her ominous feelings grew stronger, until she completely lost hope... as if she were just waiting for bad news.
In the midst of this turmoil, Chu Imperial Seat unexpectedly returned on his own.
Upon seeing that fierce mask appear at the door, everyone in Butian Pavilion erupted in cheers!
Though they didn't know what had happened, without the Imperial Seat personally leading, it felt like they were missing a pillar of support. Now that he had finally returned, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief...
Tie Butian and Wu Qianqian rushed to greet him, and upon seeing Chu Yang, even the composed Tie Butian had a flush of excitement on his face.
Wu Qianqian, with tears in her eyes, nearly jogged over to Chu Yang, looked him over, confirmed he was unharmed, and suddenly covered her face with her hands, squatting down and sobbing.
At the moment Chu Yang had disappeared, only Wu Qianqian and Tie Butian knew that it was Chu Yang who was missing; both were filled with pessimism, believing that Chu Yang was a person the enemy desperately wanted to capture. If they had caught him, how could he possibly return alive?
So, both had held no hope...
Yet now, shock and joy were overwhelming.
"What are you crying for? I'm not dead," Chu Yang coughed a couple of times, his body still weak; he whispered, "Help me inside, I’m injured..."
Wu Qianqian was taken aback and carefully supported his arm, slowly helping Chu Yang into the room. Almost as soon as he sat down, Chu Yang mumbled one sentence before fainting: "Tell the crown prince that the Dark Demon’s people might go mad, it’s best not to pay them any attention, and send some neutral medicine to Cloud Gate Inn..."
