Chapter 504: Chapter 505 “What’s going on?! Is she really my daughter-in-law Qi Yue?!

Qi Yue was determined to leave, and no one could stop her.

As for Huang Zai’an, since he had inadvertently exposed the matter, he was too scared to return.

Using the excuse of staying to take care of Song Gensheng, Qi Yue no longer bothered with him.

That very afternoon, she descended the mountain with Hei Lie.

Initially, she had planned to take a plane, but Hei Lie hadn’t quite mastered how to operate it.

By comparison, they could only use a hot air balloon.

It was also the work of an unfriendly heaven.

When it was time to leave, the sky suddenly flashed with lightning and thunder, bringing a torrential downpour.

Winds of seven to eight on the Beaufort scale swept across the Youyun Mountain area, uprooting trees as thick as bowls and destroying dilapidated houses one by one.

Everywhere lay ruins, a truly horrifying sight.

Under such conditions, the hot air balloon could no longer be used.

Zhao Yongzhe arrived on a fast horse, almost kneeling before her.

“My child, listen to your father, don’t go, even the heavens don’t want you to leave!”

Hei Lie also knew the importance of the matter and immediately fell to his knees.

“Master, please listen to the Duke!”

A host of Black Feather Guards also knelt down, imploring her to stay.

But where could they have known?

The sudden extreme weather, if anything, only made Qi Yue more determined to hurry on.

Even if mere rain and wind were already beyond human control, what more a tsunami!

A tsunami that could destroy over a million people!

She could not let Zhao Xiyan face it alone!

Outside, thunder roared, while inside, everyone tried hard to detain her. But Qi Yue’s heart was as solid as iron!

Once she decided on something, there were only things achieved, nothing undone!

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, a transparent garment suddenly appeared in Qi Yue’s hands.

The garment, neither too big nor too small, completely encased Qi Yue, not missing her feet.

Then, a white object resembling a hat appeared on Qi Yue’s head, now even covering her face.

Suddenly, with a “moo” sound, a white creature, as large as four or five horses, appeared beside Qi Yue.

It merely swayed its tail slightly and a gust of wind arose, overturning the nearby tables and chairs.

While everyone was stunned, the white creature obediently knelt down, emitting another long “moo” sound.

The cry swept through everyone like a level ten storm, shaking them deeply.

The next second, Qi Yue leaped onto the creature’s back.

“Lightning, it’s up to you now, reach Gemidu City with your fastest speed!”

“Moo…”

Lightning opened its mouth wide, and in an instant, its hooves lifted off the ground, shooting straight into the sky!!

Hei Lie belatedly gave chase, sprinting through the torrential rain.

“Master, your subordinate is here!!! I can’t keep up!!”

A single exclamation woke everyone up!

Looking at the distant sky, where could Qi Yue’s silhouette be seen?!

Zhao Yongzhe had already slumped into a chair, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

“What is this situation?! Is she really my daughter-in-law Qi Yue?!”

The stunned Black Feather Guards gradually recovered and began discussing boisterously.

“It seems the rumors are true; the master indeed has supernatural methods!”

“In my view, the rumors didn’t even do her justice. Did you see that white creature?”

“What beast is that? How so immense and terrifying, it’s even fiercer than a tiger!”

“I heard that’s a White Rhino!”

“The White Rhino? The mythical creature that only resides in Baihu, Western Regions, of Longnan Ridge?”

“Yes, that one. Didn’t you see the golden horn on its head?”

“A golden horn? I’ve heard about that; when the master treated the Marquis’s leg, it was with that horn, so the Marquis recovered quickly!”

“That doesn’t make sense, though. If that horn was already used for the Marquis’s leg, what’s this one? I’ve never heard of a White Rhino having two horns!”

“…Could the master have two White Rhinos?!”

“How could there be so many White Rhinos? Right, where did that White Rhino come from?”

“I also want to know, what on earth are those white hats and clothes?!”

“Forget about it. Such secrets are only known to those close to the master!”

“Hei Lie?”

A few people exchanged glances and immediately chased after Hei Lie to ask.

Zhao Yongzhe carefully pondered the news he had heard. The dull look in his eyes gradually revived, shooting out a proud brilliance!

He sat upright, his right hand stroking his short beard, and laughed out loud!

“My Yanyan is blessed! Hahaha….”

Meanwhile, Zhao Xiyan in Gemidu City was also facing a tremendous challenge.

That day, he went to meet Shengong, and as soon as they met, a fierce battle ensued.

But in the end, Shengong lost.

Zhao Xiyan clarified the incident of the past wrongful killing and persuaded Shengong to think carefully.

Unexpectedly, the old man took the initiative to say that he also knew there were many doubts about the incident back then.

After all, the Zhao Xiyan of that time was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and it certainly wasn’t easy to kill a young man who had already made a fierce name for himself.

He had always been obsessed with superficial hatred, restrained by Huangfu Nan, unwilling to let go.

Now, with times changing, an entire lifetime manipulated by Huangfu Nan, Shengong naturally wished to gain freedom and pursue greater interests when facing a good opportunity.

Zhao Xiyan merely promised to appoint him as the Marquis of Linhai in the future, and he immediately agreed not to activate the mechanism that would trigger a tsunami.

But Huangfu Nan soon found out about this.

Fortunately, Shengong had been cautious beforehand and changed the position of the control mechanism laid under the sea, thus not immediately triggering a tsunami.

The simultaneous betrayal of his disciple and granddisciple infuriated Huangfu Nan, who immediately decided to manually destroy the underwater mechanism.

As a master who had reached the Transformation Realm, Huangfu Nan simply used the seawater as a sword, directly slashing at the boulders connected to the underwater mechanism by the seaside, sending columns of water several meters high into the air.

With each column of water that fell, the sea level rose by meters, quickly reaching the high cliffs by the sea.

Zhao Xiyan and Yunzhu had anticipated this and rushed to stop Huangfu Nan at the first opportunity.

The three of them fought a tremendously fierce battle, the skies and clouds transforming color, but they ultimately fell short.

Just as Yunzhu had previously stated, even together, the two of them couldn’t contain Huangfu Nan.

Instead, he used their force against them, destroying half of the pillar connecting the mechanism by the seaside.

The seawater kept rising, already submerging the center of Gemidu City.

Seeing this, Qingzhu could no longer stand idly by.

At this rate, in at most half a Shichen, the seawater would break through the high cliffs of Nanling and pour directly into the town situated in the depression!

In this critical moment, knowing he was outmatched, Qingzhu still charged forward.

Unfortunately, as a warrior skilled only in Qinggong and sound attacks, Qingzhu had just charged forward when he was struck by a palm from Huangfu Nan, falling directly into the sea.

At this critical time, Shengong, who was supposed to be on the same side as Zhao Xiyan, began to enjoy the spectacle, clearly not planning on intervening.

“Shengong, what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to be Marquis anymore?”

Unable to endure any longer, Yunzhu shouted, striking a water column under Shengong’s feet, exposing his position and taking a palm strike from Huangfu Nan.

Luckily, his reaction was swift, using the Zen Staff in his hand to resist, thus preventing him from falling into the sea, but his Zen Staff was shattered by Huangfu Nan, leaving only a bare, black staff.

Shengong seized the opportunity to negotiate terms.

“Zhao Xiyan, the price we discussed initially wasn’t like this. For me to take action, being the Marquis of Linhai is far from enough!”

Zhao Xiyan’s expression grew stern.

It had been so long, and he had not seen anyone dare to threaten him!

Upon hearing this, Yunzhu started to persuade him.

“Marquis, once this pillar breaks, the underwater mechanism will be out of control! Why not agree to all his terms first and get past this crisis?!”

Zhao Xiyan, however, frowned and didn’t reply, violently attacking Huangfu Nan with the Long Halberd in his hand.

He of course knew that the best solution now was to be threatened by Shengong!

But if he really agreed, would he still be Zhao Xiyan?

Wouldn’t that make him a laughingstock across the world?

Even his Yueyue might look down on him!

Thinking of Qi Yue, Zhao Xiyan felt an indescribable tenderness surge in his heart.

The Long Halberd in his hands summoned the force of thousands, charging directly at Huangfu Nan!
