CHAPTER 361: YOU ARE A SPY
The White Horse Knight nodded vigorously, finally swallowing the piece of meat, a flattering smile on his face as he earnestly said, “Throne, this is the best roasted meat I have ever eaten in my life! No… including other dishes, it is the most delicious food I have ever tasted!”
His voice was sincere, clearly indicating that this statement was not just flattery, but a heartfelt confession.
Then he saw the scenic throne smile oddly and say, “In that case, I am very pleased.”
Suddenly, the White Horse Knight felt everything in front of him blurring, a dreamy sensation enveloping him. His mind became hazy, and he even felt a warm, comforting feeling of returning home. With a smile, he slowly collapsed.
Behind him, around a hundred people also fell weakly to the ground, their faces displaying comforting smiles…
Chu Yang quietly watched as more than a hundred people slowly fell to the ground, lying haphazardly. His eyes were like ice and snow.
Was he sentimental? Yes. Did he feel sympathy? Not necessarily.
Because his own information had been leaked, and once this disguise time was over, each of these people would be his sworn enemies! They would kill him without hesitation!
“In this world, there is no right or wrong, no truth or falsehood; there are only different positions and paths. Only kinship and enmity, life and death exist.” Chu Yang looked at the corpses he had caused to litter the ground, his eyes still icy. He said淡淡的, “This is your path, and it is also my path. Once we chose this martial arts road, lying here is our ultimate destination. Today is you; maybe tomorrow it will be me. Therefore… I will not say I am sorry.”
He paused for a moment, walked to the White Horse Knight's side, pulled out Jing Menghun’s identity token from his arms, then he quietly stood for about two breaths before turning around.
With a soft pu, Chu Yang cut open his wrist, blood gushing out with a strange orchid fragrance; a tidal wave of pain from his torn muscles hit him, yet Chu Yang's eyes remained calm, his face expressionless. He carefully smeared his blood, drop by drop, onto the horses; then, he grabbed the long whip.
Crackling sounds echoed as over three hundred horses were whipped into a frenzy, galloping in all directions. The faint scent of orchids spread out, gradually fading on the ground…
Chu Yang’s expression was stern as he pulled the remaining war horse, leaped onto it, and, with his legs clamping tightly, bore the dizziness from the significant blood loss, hastening north without looking back.
On the ground lay a chaotic array of corpses.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, rolling away without a backward glance.
The target was clear: I am heading north! Diwu Qingrou, if you have the ability, come and stop me! I, Chu Yang, will not engage in any detours with you.
Because my time is running out.
If I were to take a detour to escape, it would play right into Diwu Qingrou’s hands. I might not even make it back to Iron Cloud before the war breaks out; furthermore, Diwu Qingrou would surely take advantage of my absence to expand her gains by any means necessary.
Chu Yang could not bear that kind of consequence.
So, even though he was seriously injured, at risk of dying at any moment, and well aware that this long journey home would surely be fraught with dangers, he still chose the shortest path, to return at the fastest speed he could muster!
Chu Yang knew Diwu Qingrou must be aware of his intentions.
Thus, he also knew that this long trek would be the true life and death test for him! It truly was Diwu Qingrou's best chance to kill him!
But he had no other choice!
The sound of hooves faded into the distance.
Jing Menghun, clad in black, frantically swept through the skies above Zhongzhou City. He understood the severe consequences of Chu King of Hell’s escape, and he knew this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Moreover, it was crucial to the outcome of the war between the two nations! So he was thorough, even employing his highest skills in the search! Not missing a single corner!
