Chapter 490: 257: The method to save Nai’er’s life! (Important, must-read)_2

"Release the arrows..."

Nai’er hurriedly gave the order.

In an instant, thousands of cavalrymen drew their bows and loosed a barrage of arrows toward Ashi Luo’s direction.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Arrow after arrow rained down in volleys.

In the end, the ground was densely covered with arrows.

When all the smoke had cleared, Ashi Luo had vanished without a trace.

This man was truly like a ghostly apparition.

Nai’er dismounted and stood beside the eunuch Gao Yu’s corpse.

There was no corpse, only a pool of flesh and blood.

Nai’er could no longer hold back and crouched on the ground to cover her face, crying loudly.

...

Several hours later!

Suo Lun and Zhen Yan Princess returned and landed high above the City Lord’s mansion.

The first thing they saw was Nai’er, her eyes red with sorrow, and a hint of fear as she looked towards Suo Lun.

And Suo Ningbing, too, had circles of red around her eyes, still sobbing at the moment.

Suo Lun’s heart trembled, and he said, "What happened?"

Nai’er flung herself at him, clinging tightly to Suo Lun, not crying out loud, but sobbing heavily.

Suo Lun gently soothed her back, patting it lightly.

Suo Ningbing said, "Little Elder Gao is dead."

At these words, Suo Lun and Zhen Yan’s expressions changed.

Little Elder Gao, he was actually dead? With his martial arts so great, how could he die?

Suo Ningbing said, "It was Ashi Luo, he has an undying lust for Nai’er. He brought masters from the Demon Continent with the intent of abducting Nai’er. Little Elder Gao died protecting her. Initially, he and Ashi Luo perished together, but Ashi Luo seems to have a very strange energy. He recovered very quickly and was completely restored as if nothing had happened."

At this moment, Nai’er’s grief abated slightly, finally allowing her to speak.

"Then, Ashi Luo destroyed Little Elder Gao’s body, severed his head, and took the Blood Sea Dragon Gold Sword," Nai’er said with a trembling voice. "He said he would go back and recover the life force he had overdrawn. In no more than three months, he will return with even more masters from the Demon Continent for revenge, the most relentless revenge. He said he has never suffered such a great loss in his life."

Suo Lun slowly closed his eyes and took Yan Nai’er into his arms again.

He had come so close, so very close to losing Nai’er.

He really had not anticipated that Ashi Luo would come back.

He had no idea that Zhi Yan had already left, and despite the tens of thousands of troops within Tianshui City, he still came.

And all for the mere purpose of having Yan Nai’er.

Was this man a madman? A deranged madman?

To go to such lengths, sparing no method to have a woman he fancied, without any sense of rationality?

And the ruler of the Demon Continent too, had they gone mad? Even following his madness, sending masters from the Demon Continent?

Were all these people devoid of reason?

However...

An irrational madman is the most terrifying, someone who completely defies all logic in their actions.

And Little Elder Gao, the cold and unsmiling great eunuch, in order to fulfill his promise, had lost his life and was truly torn to pieces.

That very person, his father’s mentor and teacher, had just like that... died on his own territory, for the sake of protecting the wife of Suo Lun himself.

Suo Lun felt waves of grief welling up inside, incessant and overwhelming.

"Husband, that devil will come again in three months, and he will bring more masters from the Demon Continent. What shall we do?" Nai’er said. "Shall we ask Aunt Chuo’er and father to come to the City Lord’s mansion?"

Queen Yan Chuo and Yan Yan were both top masters, together with Zhen Yan Princess. If necessary, they could also summon a group of masters from the royal palace.

But, there is a saying that one can’t be a thief for a thousand days, but that there is no defense against one for a thousand days.

Therefore, truly killing this madman was the only permanent solution.

"No need, killing that devil is the only permanent solution," Suo Lun said, looking towards Zhen Yan Princess. "It seems that our plan needs to be greatly hastened. We must deal with Ashi Luo within three months."

Princess Zhi Yan nodded.

"In this world, there is one person who can annihilate Ashi Luo, and basically not suffer retaliation from the Demon Continent."

"That person is Ashi Liren. Firstly, she killed her brother because Ashi Luo harbored lecherous intentions toward her, attempting an incestuous deed. Moreover, her killing of Ashi Luo is entirely a domestic affair of the Ashi Clan."

Of course, the most important thing is that Ashi Liren has the support of King Dongli Jiang Shang.

"Here is a peerless power, the strongest in the world, who even the Holy Temple of the Dragon barely pays heed to, let alone fearing the Demon Continent."

The Kingdom of Dongli has a heritage of nearly a thousand years, possessing an unrivaled foundation.

His ancestors were the right-hand men of the Dragon Emperor.

Therefore, the Holy Temple of the Dragon spread its influence throughout the Human Kingdom. But in the Kingdom of Dongli, only after countless efforts, have they established three temples, and even these cannot engage in armed force.

This peerless strongman Jiang Shang is not afraid of the Holy Temple of the Dragon; of course, he also does not fear retaliation from the Demon Continent.

Suo Lun said, "Next, I’ll go bring my daughter back home. Then, within a few days, I’ll immediately infiltrate Rouran City by the side of Ashi Liren, annihilate Ashi Luo, and support her to become the City Lord of Rouran. I will avenge the grudge of Elder Gao; I will personally shatter his body into ten thousand pieces!"

"Yes," Princess Zhi Yan said. "As for home, leave it to Nai’er and me."

At this moment, Nai’er’s eyes reddened as she called out to Zhi Yan, "Sister, please accept a bow from your sister."

With this bow, Nai’er was fully acknowledging Zhi Yan as the rightful wife.

Suo Lun felt uncomfortable in his heart and turned away.

Suo Ningbing stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, are you planning to use Turing Chen to exchange for the whereabouts of our daughter, or Count Li Wen?"

Suo Lun said, "Turing Chen, but... not the complete Turing Chen."

Then, Suo Lun said, "Zhi Yan, come with me to the secret dungeon."

"Alright," Zhi Yan said.

Then, the two left the lord’s mansion.

Suo Ningbing took Nai’er’s hand and said, "Good child, you’ve been wronged."

"Not wronged," Nai’er said, looking at the back of Suo Lun. "My lord is about to torment Turing Chen. There is a rage in his heart that he needs to vent. Yet, he does not want me to witness such dark affairs. That’s why he asked Zhi Yan to accompany him. In his heart, it is me he loves."

Suo Ningbing’s heart softened, gently embracing Nai’er and saying, "Yes, you are the one he loves the most. If it wasn’t for the king’s critical demand at his deathbed, if it wasn’t for something happening to Gao, he would never have been willing to marry Zhi Yan."

Nai’er pressed her cheek against Ning Bing’s chest and said, "As long as I can be with my sister and my husband, no matter for how long, I am utterly content."

Nai’er felt an immense pain in her heart because she faintly sensed that she had already overdrawn too much of her life force.

She truly didn’t know how much longer she could live.

...

Suo Lun and Zhi Yan went to the secret dungeon where Turing Chen was imprisoned, a location known by no more than five people.

Suo Lun suddenly asked, "Yao Xing, Ashi Luo also has that strange energy in his body, which can instantly heal any injury. But how can his overdrawn life force be replenished?"

Suo Lun obviously cared about Nai’er’s life; he knew that Nai’er had been hurt again and had overdrawn her life force.

So, how long could she still live? Suo Lun had no way of estimating. Perhaps two years? Perhaps even less.

Suo Lun worried that Nai’er might not even make it to their wedding day.

Yao Xing said, "Ashi Luo used a heretical magic of absorbing yang to replenish yin, draining the life from women to supplement his own. This method cannot be used by lady Nai’er."

Suo Lun said, "Then, then tell me, what exactly is that strange energy inside Nai’er and Ashi Luo?"

Yao Xing was silent for a moment before saying, "It’s demonic blood, the blood of the Demon King."

Suo Lun’s voice trembled, "Is that the same Demon King who destroyed the Blood Sea Mystic City and almost completely annihilated the entire human civilization?"

"Correct," Yao Xing said.

"Then, then how can Nai’er’s life be prolonged?" Suo Lun asked.

Yao Xing said, "It’s simple. You become the World-Ending Demon Emperor, become the Demon King."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up..." Suo Lun roared inwardly.

Suo Lun and Zhi Yan walked into the secret dungeon and looked at the sole prisoner, Turing Chen.

At that moment, in Suo Lun’s heart, there was boundless fury surging tumultuously.

Note: The first update is here. I had insomnia last night and only got up at two, plus there was a sudden power outage moment, so the update has been delayed by nearly an hour. Apologies.
