FLOWERS BLOOM FROM BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 355: Sacrifice



355 Sacrifice

Jun Hua couldn't remember what happened very clearly. She could sense that her body was not moving as good as she usually was. It didn't mean that she had become bad, but she couldn't move according to her will, which was very uncomfortable.

After going on rampart by moving around, she found her head was dizzy. She couldn't think clearly and her vision distorted. She gritted her teeth and endured, but soon found her body heavy, and several people come. Before she could move, they sprayed something to her face, making her half-unconscious.

With her high martial arts, she was usually immune to most of the poison and drug, but if their number was too much, she too wouldn't be able to hold herself up. She could faintly sense that she was being carried away, so she forcefully tore a part of her sleeves and left it on the ground in hope her friend can find her.

She felt extremely annoyed. If not because her body was not moving according to her will, she will not be trapped and carried around like this. However, she couldn't do anything but wait and listened to the sound of everything around her carefully while leaving the mark on the way.

"Lord Ye Jiu, she is here."

Jun Hua still closed her eyes, but she knew that she was already being carried for hours, possibly one day. Hearing that name, she almost wanted to forcefully stand up and tore him apart at that moment. If not because her hand and feet were tied, she will surely do that.

Ye Jiu looked towards the woman on the floor. He walked to her side before crouching down and touch her face lightly.

"Jun Hua… I found you again."

Jun Hua has the urge to throw up. Did this man mistake her for his deceased fiancée? She didn't know how that lady looked like, but she was sure that she should at least have a different face, no?

Ye Jiu waved his hand, and the girl's servant took her into a carriage. Jun Hua's eyes opened the moment she was alone as she started to work to release her hand and feet. However, she still felt rather dizzy and her movement was sluggish.

"Did they drug me?" Jun Hua frowned. She was about to move again when she heard Ye Jiu's voice from the front.

"Jun Hua, you don't have to try to move. You won't be able to move around after being drugged," Ye Jiu's voice traveled from the front.

This man martial art was indeed high, probably around the same with her. With their level almost the same, Jun Hua wouldn't be able to fool him easily. Knowing that, Jun Hua chose to sit down on the couch and stared forward.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Don't you want to know the reason more?" Ye Jiu asked.

Jun Hua frowned, "Why?"

"Because of your name," Ye Jiu answered.

"My name? What are you talking about?"

Ye Jiu didn't answer right away. He stayed silent for several seconds before answering, "Long ago, the Jun Family is a big and powerful family. However, they are being suppressed by many sides who are eyeing for their power. During the chaotic era, a woman with the power to see the future was born and steps up to bring the Jun Family rise again. The woman name is Jun Hua."

Jun Hua was stunned. She certainly couldn't see the future, so there shouldn't be any connection of the woman in the story with her right? The mention of seeing the future made her remember Ye Jiu battle with them. Did it have something to do with his deceased fiancée?

"I can't see the future," Jun Hua said.

"I know."

"Then why do you still take me here?"

"The story is not finished yet," Ye Jiu answered, "After the first girl who was born with the power to see the future, every direct lineage from her who is born as a girl would be named Jun Hua because they have the same power to see the future. However, with time, the power decreased, and they would only bestow the name of Jun Hua to those who wield the power after the test."

Jun Hua frowned. Did it mean that she needed to change her name? After all, she didn't wield the power to see the future, and she certainly didn't want them to mistake her to wield the power just because of her name.

"My name is only a coincidence. The Jun Family in the Long Kingdom doesn't have a connection with the Jun Tribe."

"You have, you were her descendant because the Jun Family in the Long Kingdom was a branch of the Jun Tribe here," Ye Jiu explained, his voice sounded rather melancholic.

Jun Hua body tensed up. If she was really the descendant, would it mean that she had the possibility of inheriting the power? She didn't want to have the ability to see the future. Somehow, her sense was telling her that having the power would mean her end.

"We are not the direct lineage, it's impossible," Jun Hua spoke again.

"Indeed," Ye Jiu didn't deny her, "But, I don't need you to have the power. I only need you because of your blood and name."

"What are you talking about?" Jun Hua have a bad premonition.

"Have you investigated my fiancée?" Ye Jiu asked, "She didn't die because of natural cause. I killed her."

What? Jun Hua's eyes widen in shock as she looked towards the front. With the board blocking her view, she cannot see him, but she knew that he was there. Why would he kill his own fiancée?

"She has the power to see the future and because of that, the tribe bestowed the name Jun Hua to her. But, her view is vague and she can only see that future in fragmented pictures. So, she told me the way to transfer the power to other people and make it clearer."

When Ye Jiu reached this point, Jun Hua knew that it must require him to kill her. But, to kill the person whom you love, could you do that?

Ye Jiu didn't know what expression Jun Hua made right now, but he never regretted his decision. He looked towards the road in front of him as he opened his mouth to tell the rest of the story.

"There is an altar to make sacrifice deep into the sacred forest in the tribe. That altar was made by the first Jun Hua to give her power to her beloved one in order to win the war. If someone kills the flower (Hua) in that altar, he will gain the power to see the future."

Fear crept up to her body as Jun Hua imagined the scene. That was so sad… She didn't want things to end up that way. However, the next moment, she realized the reason Ye Jiu took her.

"You want to use me…?"

"Yes, the power she held can only allow me to see the future for five years, which is why I lost to you. Now, I will use you to see the further future and take the Long Kingdom into my hand."

As he said that, Ye Jiu's voice was filled with ruthlessness. He certainly wouldn't give up on the conquest of taking over the kingdom and become the only emperor.

Jun Hua calmed herself down. She wouldn't allow him to succeed. The current Long Kingdom was the result of their preparation for years, she will not let him take it. There must be a way for her to escape and reunited with Soujin again.
