Chapter 1689 - Attack!
Chapter 1689: Attack!
Dead silence.
Chu Liuyue’s words stunned the people opposite her, including Luo Yan. None of them expected Chu Liuyue to really have the guts to say such things!
Her attitude was too unyielding, and her eyes were cold and piercing. Although her lips were curled up slightly, they were like sharp blades with a sharp killing intent that seemed to be able to cut through everything!
Nan Yiyi’s heart suddenly trembled! An indescribable fear quickly surged from the depths of her heart!
!!This wasn’t the first time she had felt such fear when facing Shangguan Yue. However, it had never been so clear and intense before.
Looking into those eyes, a clear thought flashed through her mind: If I anger Shangguan Yue, she will really kill me!
Nan Yiyi originally wanted to mock and retaliate, but at this moment, she lost all words.
Her legs were a little weak. If not for Luo Yan standing beside her, she would’ve retreated uncontrollably.
Luo Yan watched all of this and frowned even more. “How does she know about this?”
These words were clearly questioning Nan Yiyi and the others. Not many people know that we have come to find that thing. Why does even Shangguan Yue, who has nothing to do with it—no, it should be said that she is an enemy—know now!?
Nan Yuxing immediately broke out in cold sweat. He said quickly, “Uncle Luo Yan, this… We didn’t deliberately reveal it. They overheard us discussing this matter in private…”
Luo Yan’s gaze turned even colder. This mistake is even more ridiculous! They were overheard? Then, they were too careless! This is a serious matter, but they weren’t vigilant at all?!
Elder Bai Tong came out to smooth things over. “Luo Yan, actually… Actually, this isn’t the fault of Eldest Young Master and Second Missy. It’s all my and Wu Peng’s negligence…”
There was really no way to say this.
They had actually been very vigilant, but when Rong Xiu appeared not far from them that day, there was no fluctuation at all!
They really couldn’t be completely blamed for this, but it was too embarrassing to say. Besides, what was the point of saying this now?
Elder Wu Peng stared at Chu Liuyue intently. “You do know what we’re looking for.”
Previously, it was only a guess, but it is definitely confirmed now.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. I was just trying to trick them because I could see that what they were looking for meant a lot to them. However, I don’t know what it is. I’m too busy with my own matters to care about them.
Hearing this, Nan Yiyi instantly perked up and suddenly raised her hand to point at Chu Liuyue. “More than that, that thing is on her!”
Her voice was sharp and made one’s ears hurt.
This sentence made the atmosphere even tenser!
Chu Liuyue could clearly feel that the auras of the few people opposite her had changed drastically at this moment!
An extremely dangerous aura enveloped them!
…
“Believe it or not, I don’t know what you’re looking for. As for what you say, it’s even more nonsensical that I have it.” Chu Liuyue laughed and pointed at the rocks scattered around her. “To be honest, after I came to this God-Killing Tumulus, the only thing I’ve obtained from here are these stones. Could these be what you’re looking for?”
“How dare you argue!?” At this moment, Nan Yiyi was full of confidence, and her voice rose a few degrees. “I can’t be wrong about the aura of that thing! It’s on you! At this point, you still refuse to admit it!? I was wondering why it was so coincidental that I kept bumping into you along the way. It turns out… you’ve been determined to snatch this thing from the beginning!”
The more Chu Liuyue listened, the more frustrated she became. I don’t look for trouble, but trouble always comes knocking on my door time and time again. It is really annoying!
However, Nan Yiyi didn’t notice the change in Chu Liuyue’s aura and continued to talk to herself. “Uncle Luo Yan, not only did she hurt me, but she also snatched my things! This time, you must help me. You can’t let her off easily—”
Shing!
A zither sound filled with killing intent suddenly came from the black wall! The scattered stones on the ground also became restless!
The surrounding natural energy began to circulate rapidly!
Everyone was shocked.
Nan Yiyi’s voice also stopped abruptly. She looked at everything that had suddenly happened in front of her in shock!
Chu Liuyue looked up slightly, her eyes cold like ice that hadn’t melted for a thousand years! She said word by word, “Have you said enough?”
When Nan Yiyi met her gaze, her throat suddenly felt as if it was being strangled by an invisible hand!
At this moment, it seemed to be difficult to even breathe! The blood in her body also froze!
She had never felt the threat of death so clearly!
Luo Yan pulled Nan Yiyi behind him and took a step forward, force surging around him! Something is off! Something is wrong with Shangguan Yue, and the black wall behind her—something is wrong too! Why is there suddenly a strange zither sound coming from inside?!
Chu Ning and Rong Xiu immediately looked at each other. Is this the sound of the zither she had mentioned earlier?
“Yue’er.” Rong Xiu held her hand tightly.
A cold and low voice echoed in Chu Liuyue’s ears, instantly snapping her back to her senses.
The coldness in her eyes quietly dissipated. When she looked up again, it was back to normal.
She hid all these emotional changes perfectly. Only Rong Xiu, who was beside her, saw it clearly.
At the same time, the sound of the zither quietly stopped, and the surrounding stones returned to calm. Even the surge of surrounding energy gradually subsided. It was as if the commotion just now was just everyone’s imagination.
Rong Xiu’s expression changed.
Just as he was about to speak, a majestic pressure suddenly descended! At the same time, a whistling sound tore through the air!
Rong Xiu looked up, but Luo Yan took the opportunity to attack!
His eyes turned cold! With a wave of his sleeve, a golden flame quickly flew out and set up a barrier in front of the two of them!
However, Luo Yan was a legendary warrior and had extremely rich combat experience! He had expected Rong Xiu to make a move. Therefore, he had not held back from the beginning!
Whoosh!
Luo Yan’s force transformed into an arrow that pierced through Rong Xiu’s barrier! Then, it headed straight for Chu Liuyue’s glabella!
The killing intent was biting cold!
At this moment, Rong Xiu directly took action and grabbed the arrow tightly!
But before they could heave a sigh of relief, Chu Liuyue suddenly felt something wrap around her ankle.
She looked down. A transparent thumb-thick rope had appeared at her feet and bound her ankles tightly!
Her heart sank.
Luo Yan had already pulled!
Chu Liuyue’s body was immediately dragged out uncontrollably!
