Chapter 607: The space portal of the borderlands, A hunting game
Regarding Tuoba Xiaoyao’s guarantee, Tuoba Yuntian just sighed softly, thinking that he was comforting him, and didn’t take it to heart. His fourth daughter was kidnapped from the mansion, and her whereabouts were still unknown.
Although he had sent people to search everywhere these days, there was no trace of clues, like a stone sinking into the sea. Tuoba Yuntian already had a bad premonition in his heart, but it would be difficult to accept this reality for a while.
“It seems that I can only be cheeky and beg His Majesty, maybe he will send someone to help me because of the hard work I have done…” Tuoba Yuntian had a sad face and pinned his last hope on Emperor Yu.
If even Emperor Yu couldn’t find out the whereabouts of Tuoba Qingyu, then he had no choice but to acknowledge that the other party was extremely bold and arrogant.
Not only did he commit murder in the Great Yu imperial capital, which was known as the net of heaven and earth, but he also sneaked into the General’s mansion and kidnapped Tuoba Qingyu in front of all the maids and guards.
Although there were many forces with such means in the huge Upper Realm, they were not something that a small General like him could contend with.
After Tuoba Yuntian left, only Tuoba Xiaoyao and his second sister Tuoba Qiongling were left in the courtyard.
“Xiaoyao, do you think it’s true? Could it be that Gu Changge really sent someone to kidnap Qingyu?”
After a moment of silence, seeing that there was no one else there, Tuoba Qiongling asked in disbelief.
“Except for Gu Changge, no one will attack Qingyu. He is warning me to not play tricks.” Tuoba Xiaoyao’s face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly.
He naturally knew Gu Changge’s plan, it was to make him cautious and not dare to act rashly.
At the same time, he wanted him to hand over the Heavenly Sword within the agreed time, otherwise Tuoba Qingyu’s life would be in danger.
“Gu Changge…” Tuoba Qiongling fell silent, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.
In the face of such a terrifying enemy, even if they resisted, they would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot with their arms, looking for a dead end.
“But don’t worry, as long as I don’t give that thing to Gu Changge, second sister will be safe. Gu Changge shouldn’t embarrass Qingyu during this period.” Tuoba Xiaoyao then comforted, telling his first sister not to worry, he would find a way.
“I hope so.” Tuoba Qiongling sighed.
“By the way, second sister, some time ago in the border area, it is said that a never before seen ancient world has appeared. The eldest brother is now leading troops to guard there. How much do you know about this?”
Then, thinking of another important matter, Tuoba Xiaoyao couldn’t help but solemnly ask, with a serious expression.
This matter was very secretive, only the senior officials of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty knew about it, and he only heard about it from his father by accident.
When he was in the prison, he carefully considered how to hand over the Heavenly Sword within the agreed time.
The final conclusion was to go to the Shu Sect from his previous life and read and decipher the classics in the Sword Pavillion in the forbidden area.
In his previous life, when he was observing his ancestors crossing the catastrophe, he was affected by the scope of the catastrophe and died accidentally. As a result, a wisp of his soul survived and fell to the Upper Realm, and was reborn as the third son of the Tuoba Mansion.
Then when he was a teenager, he awakened the memory of rebirth, so he was certain that he was now a human being in the third life. The classics for refining the fetus of Heavenly Sword come from the Sword Pavilion of the Shu Sect.
“What’s the matter? Brother is indeed guarding the space portal over there now, in case the rest of the Immortal forces find out.”
“Why did you suddenly ask about this?” Tuoba Qiongling asked, a little puzzled.
The ancient world that has never been opened up there was said to have a profound foundation and a long history of Luck. It could even give birth to existence at the level of an Enlightened being.
This also meant that the ancient world contained infinite resources.
Before exploring, the Great Yu immortal Dynasty would definitely do everything possible to cover up the news of its existence and try to eat the biggest piece of meat before the news was exposed.
The major forces in the Upper Realm, all do this in the face of this unexplored ancient world, so it was not surprising to Tuoba Qiongling. Because the Upper Realm, as the center of the Heaven, gathered hundreds of millions of Lower Realms.
The level of space barrier for some of these worlds was already comparable to the Upper Realm, and occasionally space cracks would appear due to the collision of the two worlds, exposing their existence.
“I need to go find my brother.” Tuoba Xiaoyao nodded when he heard the words, and there was thought in his eyes. He was not interested in the ancient world that had never been explored before, but he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the reason why he was reincarnated in the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was that the world he was in before was adjacent to this place?
What if the ancient world that was suddenly exposed was the world where he lived and cultivated before?
If this was the case, then he could return to the original world to find a solution.
Of course, Tuoba Xiaoyao had other plans in his heart, and his desire for revenge became active again. If that world was really the world he originally lived in, didn’t that mean that he had an ancient world as his background, which could compete with Gu Changge?
Thinking of this, Tuoba Xiaoyao didn’t stop. After packing some luggage, he embarked on the road to the border.
After leaving the prison, he didn’t even have time to look at Yu Feiya. Of course, Tuoba Xiaoyao also knew that now was not the time to talk about the love between children. There were more important things waiting for him right now.
Compared to the rush on Tuoba Xiaoyao’s side, Gu Changge on the other side seemed a little leisurely.
In the past few days, Jia Luo, the prince of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court had come to him from time to time to discuss departing for the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, but Gu Changge was naturally perfunctory about this.
Despite this, Jia Luo still respected him very much, and there was no lack of flattery in his words, and he even intended to follow him. Gu Changge thought for a while and felt that sooner or later he would go to the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court.
It would be nice to have such an errand guy, so Jia Luo’s request was not rejected.
Walking in front of him, Jia Luo looked very familiar with it.
The mountain behind the palace was an extremely wide hunting ground. The ancient forests were luxuriant, the mountains were stretching, and so tall that you couldn’t see the edge at a glance. They were shrouded in a thin mist, and from time to time, there were various colors of gorgeous rays of light rushing into the sky.
This place used to be a blessed place, and it was said that there were Immortals preaching here, but it was abandoned later. But in some corners, sometimes many rare treasures were found, and there were even ancient inscriptions, which recorded some kind of powerful divine powers.
Therefore, a certain generation of Emperor Yu specially transformed this place into a hunting ground. Generally, the children of the Royal family liked to come here to hunt ferocious beasts when they had nothing to do.
There were many prohibition formations engraved around the hunting ground, and soldiers were also sent to patrol. One wouldn’t have to worry about someone coming to disturb them while hunting.
There were many buildings and pavilions in the hunting ground, the buildings were magnificent shining with precious light just like a majestic Immortal palace.
At this moment, Gu Changge, second prince Yu Lie, the Absolute Heavenly prince Jia Luo, the eldest princess Yu Feiya, and many famous young lords of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty had gathered here, standing in the pavilion and looking at the scene in the hunting ground.
Gu Changge was dressed in a moon-white long dress, his crystal-clear hair tied with a simple hair rope, his eyes were warm and peaceful, looking simple and leisurely, displaying a sense of laziness.
“Young Master Changge was invited to come here today. In fact, I wanted to have nothing to do. It just happened that we received many captives from the border, so I wanted to play a small game.”
Yu Lie was tall and straight with the steps of a dragon and a tiger like a young emperor. He had a hidden brilliance all over his body as he said with a smile.
Emperor Yu personally ordered him to get closer to Gu Changge. So when he had nothing to do, Yu Lie arranged a small game and invited Gu Changge and others to come and have a look, so as to draw closer the relationship between him and Gu Changge.
Gu Changge smiled when he heard the words, “Oh, what kind of small game is it? That actually made Prince Yu Lie so arrogant, inviting us here?” Having said that, he was not at all curious or interested.
During this period of time, Gu Changge was actually planning to arrange for people to kill Yu Lie, so as to plunge the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty into chaos.
However, this matter had not been arranged yet, and Yu Lie could not die in front of him. It was not easy to do anything in the Great Yu Imperial Capital, so he could only push it for later.
“A captive brought back from the frontier?”
When many young Supreme Beings here heard this, their expressions moved a little, obviously, they had guessed something.
“Naturally, it’s a small game. In other countries, these people are great geniuses and big shots.” Yu Lie laughed out loud and didn’t explain much. Immediately after his words fell, there was a rumbling sound outside the hunting ground.
A few prison carts were pushed over, covered with a layer of black cloth which could isolate the probe of the divine mind, and everyone could not see the scene clearly. However, from this situation, everyone present still guessed something, and there was a flash of unbearable disgust in Yu Feiya’s eyes, but she still didn’t say anything more.
“Bring them all up.” Yu Lie looked indifferent, waved his big hand as he ordered people to push all the prison cars over. The black cloth was only lifted when he got close, revealing the scene inside.
There were quite a few cultivators and creatures imprisoned in these prison cars, men, women, and old people of all races, with pale faces, ragged clothes, and extremely embarrassed.
Their expressions were either angry, cold, numb, hateful, desperate, fearful… not the same. As an Immortal force, although the territory of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was endless and its background was huge, it still had friction with those big forces around it.
There were frequent battles at the border. These people were all from the hostile forces at the border. There were ordinary disciples, as well as geniuses, Holy Maidens, and elders of hostile forces.
“Since you are unwilling to surrender to my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, today I will give you a chance to survive.” Yu Lie looked indifferently at the people in the prison car and said.
These people were all wearing shackles that restricted their cultivation, which was extremely heavy. Even the elders with profound cultivation were now no different from ordinary people, unable to use their cultivation power. Even walking was extremely difficult.
“If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want, if the old man frowns…” Hearing this, someone in the prison car cursed angrily, but before he finished speaking, he let out a shrill scream.
The chains under his feet suddenly glowed, and streaks of purple thunder flashed and crackled, splitting his whole body into a ball of ash, destroying his body and spirit.
This scene made the people around them even more terrified, and many people couldn’t help trembling, terrified to the extreme.
“You really don’t know how to live or die. I gave you a way to survive but you are seeking death.” Yu Lie’s expression did not change at all, and he was still extremely indifferent.
These were prisoners of hostile forces and should have been executed long ago, but he thought it would bring him some fun, so he kept them alive.
“Today, I can let you live. The ancient forest in front of you will be the place where you will flee for your life. If you are still alive after three days, then I will let you go, and I can even let you return to the forces behind you,” Yu Lie said lightly, explaining the rules of this game to everyone.
There were not only ferocious beasts in this hunting ground, but also various dangerous places, and besides, they were chasing after them. These captives had been sealed, and they were no different from ordinary people. Even if they fled desperately, they couldn’t run very far.
Of course, in order to increase the fun of the game, Yu Lie and others would not use divine powers. The rest of the young lords here were obviously used to this kind of thing long ago, so it was no surprise that there was no change in their expressions.
On the contrary, Jia Luo, the prince of the Absolute Heavenly Imperial Court, was a little interested. He didn’t expect that the little game Yu Lie was talking about would be this.
And after Yu Lie finished talking about the rules of the game, the prison car was opened, and everyone in it scattered with heavy chains. Even if he was a man with more backbone just now, he chose to compromise and fled to the depths desperately. He would not let go of such a chance to survive.
Ants were still alive, let alone humans, although the chance of surviving was extremely slim.
“I won’t participate in this little game, just watch it here.” Seeing this, Gu Changge’s expression was not too disturbed, facing Yu Lie’s invitation, he shook his head and smiled.
“Haha. In that case, I’ll see you in three days.”
Yu Lie didn’t expect that Gu Changge would refuse, his face felt suffocated, but he didn’t care. After laughing, he rode his mount, picked up his bow and arrow before quickly chasing after them.
In such a hunting game, each participant would be ranked according to the prisoners killed. The winner could also get a lot of good things and win the lottery from everyone.
Soon there were only a few people left in the pavilion, except for Gu Changge, the eldest princess Yu Feiya did not participate, and she looked rather haggard as if she had something on her mind.
“Why didn’t Young Master Changge participate in this hunting game?”
Seeing that Gu Changge seemed to be looking at her, Yu Feiya couldn’t help but come to her senses and said with some doubt.
Although these people were all captured by hostile forces, she still couldn’t bear it and didn’t want to torture them again before they died.
“Of course, it’s just boring.” Gu Changge smiled lightly and said casually.
Yu Feiya forced a smile and said, “For Young Master Changge, such a hunting game is really boring.”
“Are these captives brought back from the Borderlands?” Gu Changge smiled noncommittally and then asked.
“Naturally.” Yu Feiya didn’t know why Gu Changge asked such a question and nodded.
“That’s kind of interesting.”
Gu Changge’s eyes became a little interested, and his divine sense enveloped the entire ancient forest in an instant before landing on a thin and petite figure who was struggling to escape while holding a heavy chain.
