Chapter 359: Chapter 258: The Temptation Is Too Great

...

The temptation was too great, and in the end, they succumbed. Looking back, the elders couldn’t help but mock themselves for discussing whether to kill this young man who knew their secrets, when it was clear he could kill anyone in the city.

The elders had little time to deliberate, as Rong Liang and Bu Huang swiftly encircled the remaining two, forcing them to surrender.

At that moment, Rong Liang turned toward Hui Yue, only to notice that he and Deng Wu had long fled the area—without leaving a single trace behind. Lan Feng dashed through the streets, heading toward the city walls. Once there, Phoenix unfolded its radiant white wings behind Hui Yue, who then grabbed Deng Wu and soared high above the walls. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Lan Feng flew through an entire day’s journey, heading toward the mystical forest, where Hui Yue and Deng Wu would wait for the others in his village.

Finally, they arrived, and Hui Yue regained control of his body. After wielding an overwhelming energy foreign to his own, everything was engulfed in pain, but despite the agony, Hui Yue remained astonished, for they had achieved their goal.

"That moment truly frightened me," Deng Wu sighed, leaning against the grass and taking a deep breath. Reflecting on the day’s events, even though they occurred less than a day ago, everything seemed so distant.

Xu Yue smiled apologetically at Deng Wu, then lay down on the grass much like Deng Wu, gazing at the sky above.

"What will you do now?" Hui Yue asked. He had never intended to return, for his plan was to venture into the sacred underground city. He wouldn’t return to Liluo City for a long time, and when he did, he expected no one to remember him.

However, though their meticulously planned strategy was in motion, Hui Yue finally discovered that Deng Wu had killed his own father to end the battle—an act that carried immense significance.

"Don’t worry about me," Deng Wu said softly, staring at the sky. "We’re bound to fail anyway," he added, speaking not only to convince Hui Yue but also to convince himself.

"If we fall into Rong Liang’s hands, our entire clan will be destroyed. If we win, then our family will be wiped out by the Royal Family for breaking their Royal Decree."

Thinking of the grim future his family was bound to face, Deng Wu let out a sigh. "For one clan member to kill a clan leader, it’s enough to show the clan is not fully unified in this plan. My Deng family should survive," Deng Wu said quietly. But Hui Yue knew it was more of a prayer than anything else. The Royal Family could still easily eliminate the entire Deng family by labeling their uprising as treason.

"Wang Julong and the others will arrive tomorrow," Hui Yue said, attempting to change the subject. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a faint smile spread across his lips.

"Would you like to go with me to Shenzhou’s dungeons?" Hui Yue asked. At that moment, a spark of excitement flickered in Deng Wu’s eyes, though he seemed poised to relinquish everything.

As they lay on the grass, gazing at the mesmerizing sky, Hui Yue and Deng Wu felt at ease. To an outsider unaware of their circumstances, it would be impossible to guess that these two young men were the talk of Liluo City.

Word had spread across the city: although Lord Rong Liang and his followers managed to protect Deng Zengying, they weren’t the ones who killed him—no, the head of the Deng family was slain by his own son.

Dust rose as magical horses raced toward Hui Yue’s village. A group of seven people hurried along, their faces etched with exhaustion and stern expressions, lips tightly pursed, and their eyes hollow as they scanned the surroundings for ambushers or pursuers.

This group consisted of three twin sisters, the Rong twins, Gao Yan, Ma Kong, and Wang Julong. Hui Yue stood up and signaled to the seven travelers, but within mere moments, the magical creatures galloped right up to the white-haired boy and Deng Wu.

When they arrived, they looked down at Hui Yue and Deng Wu, before offering collective condolences that could finally be heard. After dismounting, the young men carefully unfastened the animals from their harnesses and sat down to discuss everything.

Before Rong Xing sat down, tears welled up in her eyes as she approached Deng Wu, using all her strength to strike the handsome boy hard. Seeing her expression, Deng Wu was stunned, but when he realized her emotions, his face softened. As he accepted the blow, a sorrowful smile spread across his face, leaving his entire cheek swelling painfully.

"Don’t you dare do that again!" Rong Xing said in a trembling voice, her eyes locked onto Deng Wu’s dark gaze. "Don’t betray us again!"

Seeing the trembling young woman, Deng Wu’s heart filled with tenderness, and suddenly, a teardrop fell from his eye. The sight of those tears startled everyone, overwhelming Deng Wu completely. But Rong Xing noticed his expression. She quickly leaned in and embraced him, letting the young man cry in her warm arms.

Deng Wu was still so young. Though he had never felt a close bond with his father, the brutality of the battle had left its scars. It wasn’t just his long-standing struggle with Hui Yue, but also the grief of having killed multiple innocent cultivators who had the misfortune of being too near him.
