Chapter 393: Chapter 372: Second Update

"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess—" Housekeeper He suddenly panicked too. Wasn’t it said that the Commandery Princess had already left?

"Nian Ru, Nian Ru—" Zheng Boding immediately stopped caring about anything else and rushed inside, only to be immediately held back by Yu Yuan’s men.

"Prince, this formation has been activated, you cannot enter." Yu Yuan shouted loudly. How come the Commandery Princess is inside? Who just said that the Commandery Princess had left?

Prince Duan had already become unable to stand, his lips trembling. He hadn’t figured out what was going on yet. What did he need to figure out anyway? How did Nian Ru get taken hostage again?

Prince Duan did not want to live anymore, truly did not want to live. Just now, to intimidate them into leaving, Yu Yuan had already explained how terrifying this formation was. As soon as one made contact with it, they would turn to dust and smoke.

"Prince, Prince, hold on." Housekeeper He was dragging his own Prince along when suddenly, his back—oh, his back.

"Crown Prince, Crown Prince—" As soon as Prince Duan caught sight of Zheng Congyuan, he pinned all his hopes on the newly arrived Zheng Congyuan. At this moment, his lips quivered, and he became unable to speak.

Ju Nanyi took one look at Prince Duan and remembered what some older officials had said. When he was young, Prince Duan was wise and decisive, possessing the talent for governance. Moreover, he was extraordinarily talented, once making nearly half the imperial court’s ministers think of yielding their positions to him. Now, Prince Duan seemed to be no different from an ordinary person on the surface, but especially in urgent situations, he showed none of the wisdom of his youth.

It was only after Ju Nanyi started following the Crown Prince that he faintly learned of the Empress Dowager’s use of secret medicines. Thus, the current condition of Prince Duan was something that had been gradually added, almost imperceptible to others.

Zheng Congyuan did not look at Prince Duan. At this moment, he had no mind to care for others—he didn’t want to care for others. He wished he could mutilate the young man a thousand times over, for he had dared to make a move on Nian Ru.

The young man dared not take another step. With each step, should the formation activate, Nian Ru would inevitably be affected.

The young man wanted to let go, but Zheng Nianru was holding onto his hand tightly.

"Go—" Zheng Nianru whispered in a firm and decisive tone. The young man heard this and suddenly smiled faintly. At that moment, he had made up his mind that no matter the consequences, he was going to take her with him.

And furthermore, it wasn’t certain that this formation could trap him.

Master Yu Sheng took a step forward. This formation was personally laid out by him, and he was naturally confident it could contain these people, and he was also confident in preserving Princess Chao Ren’s life.

"Master Yu Sheng—" Zheng Congyuan took a step forward, the calm he had been desperately maintaining crumbling.

"Master Yu Sheng, Princess Chao Ren is an innocent person." The moment Zheng Congyuan began to speak, a flash of light suddenly emerged not far from his side. Before he could finish his sentence,—no, Zheng Congyuan didn’t even care to speak anymore, his face filled with shock as he looked toward the source of the bright light. In the next moment, he had already thrown caution to the wind and charged forward.

Zheng Congyuan’s moment of distraction had already cost him the initiative. Three figures were faster than him; Master Yu Sheng’s white figure dashed out instantly, followed by Ju Nanyi rushing forward.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine’s men had already erupted instantly. In a unified movement, everyone charged at the formation. The white flash had already exploded, shooting into the sky.

"Protect the Young Master—" The Master of Ghoul Ravine shouted loudly, his heart surging with exhilaration. This was the fighting style of their Ghoul Ravine, straightforward and satisfying.

The men of Ghoul Ravine had been through numerous battles, in lands of extreme cold and hardship, where they had grown more tolerant to pain than common folk. The sudden burst of power pushed the entire formation up several meters high. At that moment, Master Yu Sheng’s white figure was already at the end of the silver light, with a downpour of golden light coming next, single-handedly suppressing the force of more than ten men.

The very next instant, the white figure charged toward the young man below at a speed that left no time for reaction.

"Protect—" The Master of Ghoul Ravine shouted loudly, but his figure surged forward even faster, the silver net ensnaring everyone within it.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here—" Yin He glanced at the white figure charging over, then looked down and softly spoke to Zheng Nianru. Zheng Nianru nodded.

Just as Mage Yu Sheng launched his attack, Yin He immediately turned around, his eyes cold as ice. As he waved his hand, an immense energy surged out of thin air, startling even the Master of Ghoul Ravine who was pouncing forward. In the next moment, a surge of ecstasy filled his heart.

It turned out this boy had been hiding a trump card. He was then overwhelmed by the energy burst, and the Master of Ghoul Ravine’s eyes flashed with disbelief. This was not Ghoul Ravine, not the dark land of the Northwest Border, yet such tremendous energy could exist.

As the Master of Ghoul Ravine halted, everyone from Ghoul Ravine stood frozen in place, involuntarily stunned by the powerful force. At that moment, their doubts about the identity of the Young Master dissipated, replaced by a spontaneous admiration welled up from their hearts—an admiration for the strong.

The figure of Mage Yu Sheng paused, his gaze displaying a flicker of confusion, but he quickly countered the young man’s attack, and a huge force sent the people of Ghoul Ravine surrounding them flying. Half of the people from Ghoul Ravine were blasted out of the Formation.

The young man sneered coldly; the powerful force affected everyone, members of the Fire Order Squad included, who were sent flying as well. They crashed together with the people from Ghoul Ravine and scrambled to their feet, immediately starting a melee.

Due to the Formation’s suppression, the people of Ghoul Ravine couldn’t unleash their usual strength, and the scene inside became a chaotic brawl. Fortunately, Ju Nanyi managed to hide behind a tree trunk that blocked most of the force, but his chest still ached from the shock. Ju Nanyi didn’t care about anything else and immediately looked towards the two who were locked in fierce combat.

The two figures remained entwined, moving so fast they were nearly impossible to see.

"Crown Prince—Crown Prince—" Qi Jin and Qi Yu were also lucky to find shelter behind a tree, and now they immediately went to find Zheng Congyuan.

"Go find her—" Zheng Congyuan’s face was pale; he had been quite close to the action before.

Qi Jin and Qi Yu, in a panic, dared not hesitate and immediately turned to rescue Zheng Nianru.

Soon, Ju Nanyi saw a mass of black smoke shrouding a figure, exactly where the young man had been standing. Inside the smoke, Ju Nanyi guessed that Zheng Nianru was very likely to be there, and he immediately headed towards the smoke.

Seeing this, the Master of Ghoul Ravine thought of capturing a hostage and decided to seize a more formidable one. He dashed towards Zheng Congyuan’s position.

Qi Jin and Qi Yu instantly discerned the intent of the Master of Ghoul Ravine and abruptly pivoted.

"Protect the Crown Prince—Protect the Crown Prince—" In an instant, the guards of the Fire Order Squad formed a Formation in front of Zheng Congyuan. Before the Master of Ghoul Ravine could reach them, a powerful force from the air suddenly pulled him back.

"Take your men and get out quickly—" the young man’s voice carried impatience.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine was startled and dared not be distracted. He glanced at Zheng Congyuan who was surrounded in the center and with gritted teeth, he waved his hand, and all his subordinates immediately rushed towards the broken part of the Formation.

Although the Formation was quickly repaired, the outside skirmish between the Fire Order Squad and the people from Ghoul Ravine turned into a fray, creating an opportunity to exploit the vulnerabilities of the Formation.

"Attack together—break out—" the Master of Ghoul Ravine calmed down, realizing that the young man’s strength was far greater than he had imagined, which gave him some reassurance. He also immediately understood the young man’s intention.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before the people from Ghoul Ravine broke through the Formation, and the Master of Ghoul Ravine led his men out of the Formation first.

Just as Ju Nanyi was about to reach the smoke-shrouded Zheng Nianru, Yin He had already flown down from the sky, scooped up Zheng Nianru, and was about to leave through the gap in the Formation. Mage Yu Sheng, naturally not one to miss this chance, immediately struck at Yin He from behind. Startled, Yin He whirled around to face an attack that was dozens of times stronger than any before, enveloping him.

Yin He’s expression changed, and he immediately realized that he wasn’t the only one who had been hiding his true strength.
