Chapter 656: 327: Turing Si begs, Linhai City changes hands!

Gui Qinbi could never have anticipated that the enemy would come flying from the sky.

"Protect me..."

With a loud roar from Gui Qinbi, the samurai of the Gui Clan frantically rushed to cover his retreat, hoping to give Gui Qinbi a chance to flee.

Over a hundred samurai charged forward, one after another.

These hundred-plus samurai ordinarily possessed no small measure of fighting prowess, but now they faced Ashi Liren, Zhi Yan, and Zhuang Zhixuan—three preeminent experts—along with ten top fighters from the Shadow Cabinet.

In an instant, they were cut down like vegetables, completely annihilated.

Then, only Gui Qinbi and Yan Tingyi desperately fled.

Zhi Yan, mounted on a griffin beast, suddenly swooped down, its claws seizing the unsuspecting Yan Tingyi from horseback with a violent grab.

Meanwhile, Gui Qinbi desperately spurred his horse into a wild gallop, racing towards the sea, with Turing Si lying across the horse in front of him.

Ashi Liren, riding a griffin, pursued through the air, quickly cutting in front of Gui Qinbi to block his path.

With nowhere to run, Gui Qinbi’s eyes trembled as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Rouran City Lord, Ashi Liren," Liren replied.

Gui Qinbi looked behind him. Although he had never seen Zhi Yan in the Rage Wave Kingdom, he had seen her in the Flame Empire.

He had believed that the attack on Linhai City was a reckless act of desperation by Suo Ningbing and Yan Nai’er, but he hadn’t expected Ashi Liren and Princess Zhi Yan to be involved. His body suddenly trembled violently as he shrieked, "Suo Lun isn’t dead?"

The young master of Linhai City before them, Gui Qinbi, could truly be called brilliantly cunning, deducing all the truth simply from the appearance of Zhi Yan. He certainly lived up to being the son of Gui Xingfu.

Immediately after, his expression change drastically once again, "You’ve also rescued Gui Qinshao, aiming to take over Linhai City completely and make Gui Qinshao the City Lord?"

Zhi Yan and Ashi Liren were truly astounded at this moment.

This Gui Qinbi could truly be called brilliantly cunning, deducing all the truth simply from the appearance of Zhi Yan.

Immediately after, he held a dagger to Turing Si’s neck and said, "Let me go, or I’ll kill... her!"

Zhi Yan looked at him in utter disbelief.

This Turing Si was Gui Qinbi’s own mother, and yet he used her as a hostage, even threatening to kill her.

Gui Qinbi was indeed a chip off the old block of Gui Xingfu—ruthlessly heartless and utterly unscrupulous.

With a cold look in his eyes, Gui Qinbi said, "If you wish to install Gui Qinshao in power, you must eliminate all the male members of the Gui Clan—I am as good as dead. Gui Qinshao is a pampered and brainless woman; she will surely want to save her mother. If you let my mother, Turing Si, die before you, Gui Qinshao will turn against you. Let me go, and I’ll release Turing Si."

Princess Zhi Yan looked at him impassively.

"I’m not joking," Gui Qinbi said coldly, pressing the dagger harder against the nape of Turing Si’s delicate neck, causing blood to gush forth immediately.

"Let me go, or I’ll kill her now, and Gui Qinshao will definitely turn against you," Gui Qinbi shouted hoarsely.

But...

The very next second, he felt as though his entire body was no longer under his control, freezing in place, utterly immobile.

Of course, it was Zhi Yan’s Spirit Solidifying Skill.

Then, Zhi Yan lightly leapt down from the griffin, picked up the unconscious Turing Si, and remounted the griffin’s back.

Afterward, she released Gui Qinbi from his spiritual confinement.

Seeing his hostage gone, and like a lamb to the slaughter, Gui Qinbi shook and trembled, his lips quivering slightly.

Then, making a snap decision, he kneeled and said, "Princess, spare my life, and I will swear loyalty to you. My succession to the City Lord of Linhai will be more justified, and my allegiance to you will cause an even greater shock."

Zhi Yan was truly at a loss for words—the man before her, Gui Qinbi, was definitely a cunning rascal.

However, Zhi Yan shook her head and said indifferently, "I cannot trust you, a venomous snake. Kill him!"

Instantly, a Shadow Cabinet fighter stepped forward, his sword poised at Gui Qinbi’s neck, ready to strike.

Gui Qinbi immediately knelt, knocking his head on the ground, "Don’t kill me, I’m still useful! I can help you take Linhai City without spilling any blood, and I can help you eradicate my father’s forty-thousand-strong army."

Zhi Yan and Liren were completely stunned, unable to imagine a person could be so despicably shameless.

Zhi Yan said, "Knock him out and take him to my husband; let him decide this venomous snake’s fate!"

"Yes!" the Shadow Cabinet fighter struck, knocking Gui Qinbi out cold.

Then, the five griffins, wings unfurling, flew high toward the temporary camp at Nanlin Fort where Suo Lun was based!

...

Turing Si opened her beautiful eyes, slowly coming to.

"Beast, brute, Gui Qinbi you cursed beast doomed to die a terrible death." Upon waking, Turing Si flailed her hands, attempting to claw at the face of the man before her.

But quickly her hands were caught.

"Look carefully, it’s me," Suo Lun said.

Turing Si’s eyes widened as she finally recognized the handsome face before her as Suo Lun’s.

This face had once made her hate him to the bone, wishing she could flay him alive.

But now, Turing Si’s hatred for the father and son Gui Xingfu and Gui Qinbi surpassed everything else. Seeing Suo Lun, she was firstly stunned, unsure why he would be here.

Then, she suddenly knelt, clutching Suo Lun’s legs and said, "Suo Lun, I beg you to save Qin Shu. After all, you’ve wronged her. A night of union is a hundred days of grace. Please, go and save her."
