C351 (1/2)
Wu Yu pondered for a moment when he opened his mouth.
If everything was as it was, then the Nine Infant's identity would undoubtedly be exposed if the plot of the Wu Mountain Blood Drake was brought into the open.
The son of the Infant Emperor, even if the Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint and the others didn't want to get rid of him, Nangong Wei would've gone crazy first. This was the son of her enemy.
So, he knew he couldn't say it, but even if he didn't say it, if he caught a demon, they would probably kill it on the way and it would be impossible to let it go. Wu Yu had no choice but to give it a try. He wanted to see if the three of them could focus on him and let the nine babies leave.
It wasn't that Wu Yu had a good relationship with the Nine Infants Faction, but he felt that he had fallen into their trap. He had come here to reminisce about old times, and he didn't kill that person, so he shouldn't have taken the blame for him. Wu Yu couldn't let his friend die because of him, but because of the tribulation that had befallen him, even if it was just an ordinary friend.
”Unintentionally passing by?” The Crimson Shadow Swordmaster looked at Wu Yu, then back at the Nine Infants.
Wu Yu instantly understood that the Sword Saint of Mount Shu was extremely knowledgeable and knew that he wouldn't be able to hide it from him.
”Wu Yu, you seem to be quite concerned about this evil demon. By the way, why didn't you inform us when you first saw it?” The Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint's voice was cold and fierce as he glared at him.
Everyone looked at Wu Yu, including Nangong Wei, who was standing beside Wu Yu. Her face was trembling as she silently stared at Wu Yu.
Wu Yu understood that his relationship with the Nine Infants was indeed something that no one could get along with. Since Mu Lingche had died here today, she had Swordmaster Shuo Hua and the Lihuo Sword Saint behind her. He and the Nine Infants must be paid a price for this.
”If you don't say it, then we'll kill this fiendish demon first. Then, we'll go back and have Sword Saint Shuanghua interrogate you.” The Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint brought up the black needle again. The black needle was extremely thin, but it was a foot long, enough to pierce any part of his body.
At this stage, no one could turn the tide.
Seeing that Wu Yu didn't have anything to say, the Nine Infant said suddenly, ”Don't make things difficult for him, let me tell you the truth. From start to finish, is it possible?”
Wu Yu was unable to stop him.
The two of them looked at each other helplessly. If someone wins today, it should be the Wu Mountain Blood Drake. However, the Nine Infant now knows the truth and should have informed his father about this, right? So now that he thought about it, Nine Infants wasn't that dangerous after all. As long as he didn't die now.
The Nine Infant's heart was pure. If it wasn't for the difference in status, they would have been similar people. If it was a human, they could truly become brothers through life and death.
Under the sharp gaze of the Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint and the others, the Nine Infant said, ”A few years ago, I was in a sect called the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect. I was acquainted with Wu Yu and together we fought against a ghost cultivator named Black Mountain Ghost Wings.”
He clearly explained the sequence of events, the manipulation of Wu Shan's Blood Drake, Wu Yuzhong's life ability, and what happened just now. Of course, his identity as the son of the Nascent Emperor was naturally impossible to conceal. In the end, he concluded, ”The reason why Wu Yu killed is none of his own business. He was simply controlled by the Blood Drake from Wu Shan to kill me, but this woman suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Therefore, he was unable to control himself and accidentally killed her, which has nothing to do with him at all.
Even the Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint did not expect that there were so many secrets and that it would affect the competition between the Emperor Candle and the line of the Nascent Emperor. There was no doubt that this matter would affect the entire Divine Continent and if the matter regarding the Wu Shan Blood Hornless Demon was exposed, it would definitely attract the wrath of the Infant Emperor and there would be a possibility that the Endless Demon Sea would start a civil war.
”I need to look for the Wu Mountain Blood Drake first!” When the Crimson Shadow Sword Saint heard this, his first reaction was: The Blood Horned Demon of Mount Wu must be nearby.
Just as he was about to get up, a 'True Tail Charm' flew into Li Xianxue's hands. Li Chuxue took a look and said, ”The Black Smoke King brought a few demons with him. They are currently attacking the Yin Yang Mountain and killing Liu Jin.”
”Bring everyone to the central underground cave!” As for Wu Yu, Nangong Wei was standing right in front of him. The person Wu Yu had the hardest time facing was her, and her eyes right now could be said to be filled with disappointment, even despair, pain, indignation, and the collapse of the world...
”Can you listen to my explanation?” Wu Yu said with a dry voice.
”That's impossible.” Nangong Wei shook her head at a loss. She pointed towards Li Chuxue and said, ”You cannot escape responsibility for this matter. Let's go.”
Wu Yu felt a twinge of heartache as he listened to her words. He realized that after such a long period of time, their relationship had actually become so fragile, as if they'd been torn apart into pieces.
They arrived at the center of the Yin Yang Mountain together. They looked forward, and saw rivers of blood in front of them. When the Scarlet Shadow Sword Saint passed by, regardless of whether it was the Black Smoke King, his brothers, or the few demons he invited, they were all turned into corpses.
There were very few demons who could escape and return to the Endless Sea.
It was a massacre.
The hatred between a cultivator and a fiendish demon was bloody and apparent in Wu Yu's eyes.
This scene caused everyone who saw it to find it difficult to breathe.
