Chapter 924 - Princess Xingyue (2/2)

Zhao Xingyue said, “Although she didn’t kill me, she was not entirely comfortable as I was still in the palace. Therefore, she betrothed me to Chen Ruyi, the son of minister Chen Xuanling.

“Chen Xuanling is her trusted aide. That Chen Ruyi is a playboy who bullies men and women. I certainly didn’t want to marry someone like that, so I snuck out.”

The Little Witch said, “Sister Xingyue, are you running away from the wedding?”

Zhao Xingyue nodded. Qin Haodong asked, “You were very timid. How did you suddenly have the courage to escape from the marriage?”

“I’ve been preparing for it for a long time. I’m about to get engaged. I had no choice but to summon up my courage to run out. I didn’t expect to meet the Dragon Scale Python as soon as I came out.

“Fortunately, I met you, Big Brother Qin. You saved me. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Because I was timid, everyone thought that I would not dare to run out. That’s why Wu Yueniang didn’t pay much attention to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have a chance to run out at all.”

Qin Haodong said, “She did such a big thing. How could your father not notice it?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “Wu Yuenian is very powerful in Tortoise Kingdom. The Imperial Preceptor Zhangsun Chengdu is her half-brother, whose cultivation had reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. He is known as the top master in the capital.

“All these things were done secretly, leaving no flaws. In addition, there were many people in the palace who spoke up for her and this woman was good at disguising herself, so she did not arouse my father’s suspicion.”

Qin Haodong frowned. He still couldn’t imagine the situation. The Queen died and her death was followed by the Princes and the Princess. As a King, how could he not be suspicious?

The Little Witch said, “Sister Xingyue, you’re so pitiful. What do you want to do in the future?”

A deep-rooted hatred flashed across Zhao Xingyue’s eyes. “I’m going to kill that woman, avenge my mother, and get back what belongs to me.”

The Little Witch said sympathetically, “Sister Xingyue, I’ll help you.”

“How can the two of you fight against her?” Qin Haodong said, “It’s good to take revenge but you must have enough strength. Or, you’ll die.”

Zhao Xingyue looked mournful and said, “But I can’t wait any longer. My mother died so miserably. My brothers and sister died so miserably too. I used to be so timid. I feel ashamed just thinking about it now.

“No matter what, I have to take revenge as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am not worthy of my dead mother and siblings.”

The Little Witch took Qin Haodong’s arm and said, “Little Brother, please help Sister Xingyue get her revenge. Look at how pitiful she is.”

Zhao Xingyue looked at Qin Haodong expectantly and said, “Big Brother Qin, you’re so powerful. Can you help me kill that evil woman?”

Qin Haodong smiled bitterly. Even if he ate the Energy Explosion Pill, his strength was only at the stage of the Combination Realm. Wu Yuenian’s brother was a master of the Grand Completion Realm. With his current strength, he could not kill him.

He said, “I can help you but don’t rush into this. We must find the right opportunity.”

“I’ll do whatever you say,” Zhao Xingyue nodded and said, “Big Brother Qin, I’m really grateful to you. Not only have you saved me so many times, but it’s also because of you that I’ve regained my courage and am no longer so cowardly.

“Otherwise, I would continue to be timid and have no hope of taking revenge in this life.”

Qin Haodong said, “What you need to do now is to improve your strength as soon as possible. Only when you have enough strength can you take revenge.”

Zhao Xingyue nodded, “I understand, Big Brother Qin.”

Then everyone cultivated on the seventh floor of the pagoda during this period of time.

Soon, three days had passed. In fact, Qin Haodong now had total control of the pagoda. It didn’t matter whether it was closed or not.

But he did not want to reveal his secret and the pagoda would never appear again after it disappeared this time.

He took a look. There were thousands of people who had entered the pagoda but they were all blocked outside the maze.

When they saw that time was up, they could only leave with regrets.

On the first floor of the pagoda, there were thousands of people immersed in the illusion. Until now, they had not regained their original consciousness yet.

Qin Haodong didn’t want to kill too many people, so he directly removed the illusion. These people immediately recovered their minds and rushed out of the pagoda.

Seeing that almost everyone had left, Qin Haodong took Zhao Xingyue and others with him and walked out of the pagoda together.

He was currently the controller of the pagoda. He had brought everyone directly to the first floor. No one had noticed that they had descended from above.

Everyone left the pagoda. With a loud bang, the two ancient and simple doors closed. The pagoda slowly sank back into the ground.

As they watched the pagoda disappear, everyone sighed collectively. Only a small number of people had obtained some treasures after entering the pagoda this time. Most of them returned empty-handed.

Since the experience had already ended, these people began to walk out of the valley. As soon as they arrived at the mouth of the valley, they were immediately stupefied by the scene in front of them.

The outside of the valley was completely surrounded by countless soldiers. These soldiers wore armor and held sharp weapons in their hands. This caused the entire valley to be surrounded by a murderous aura.

“What’s going on? Why is it surrounded by soldiers?”

“This is too strange. This has never happened before. What are they trying to do?”

“Could it be that a great treasure has appeared in the pagoda this time, so the soldiers have been alerted? However, we haven’t heard of it.”

Before everyone could understand what was going on, an elderly man in a general’s uniform flew into the air and looked down at the crowd below his feet. Then he shouted, “Everyone, do not be nervous! I am Xiahou Hongxiang, the Lord of Golden Horse City! What happened today has nothing to do with everyone!

“I’m looking for Qin Haodong. As long as you hand him over, you can leave safely.”
