Chapter 296 A Tragic Love

What truly beautiful and tragic love.

You Long's gaze shifted from the dying Wei Ba.

Even she believed Fang Yue was already a corpse. To be so obsessed with a corpse was a sign of extreme fanaticism.

Looking ahead, the chaotic battle was gradually becoming clearer with the addition of the You family's other two elders.

"Judging from what they said earlier, that Taurus and the little girl next to Taurus seem to know the truth about the Seventh Prince as well. It seems they need to be dealt with too. A bit troublesome. Might as well… kill them all."

Having been in seclusion for so many years, You Long, who had just emerged, was completely unaware of the situation in the capital.

But one thing was clear.

Only a royal descendant who had awakened their bloodline could induce these old monsters to come out of seclusion in order to inherit the throne.

Whether that little Wu kid was truly the Seventh Prince or not, the moment his bloodline power was displayed before her eyes, the next crown prince of Qing Country was already determined.

"Follow the ancient ancestral teachings."

You Long murmured and walked toward the battlefield, arriving in front of the ruined Juan Bird Pavilion. She raised her hand, about to make a move, but suddenly stopped!

Boom! !

In the next instant, the ground where You Long stood suddenly sank violently, as if a heavy pressure had suddenly descended, instantly stirring up a large cloud of dust!

Amidst this sudden attack, You Long's figure gradually blurred and disappeared.

"She dodged it."

"Didn't hit her."

"That woman… an existence outside the norm."

"A bit tricky."

The dust gradually settled, revealing the situation in the original location.

The spot where You Long had been standing had turned into a large circular pit. Standing on the edges of the pit in four directions were four bizarre figures clad in black bone armor, emitting the same aura as the Fifth Prince.

It was… the Four Princes of the Wu Yu (Black Rain) clan!

The eldest prince, standing in the north, stroked his chin, seemingly troubled by some difficult problem.

The second prince, standing in the east, tossed his long hair woven from black bone, arms crossed, adopting a cool and aloof posture.

The third prince, standing in the south, slowly drew the Black Bone Sword, composed of bone segments, from his waist.

The fourth prince, standing in the west, casually squatted beside the pit, seemingly studying something.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the four of them stopped their actions almost simultaneously and turned their heads in the same direction.

Appearing in that direction was a woman with closed eyes and a faint smile, ethereal as a celestial being.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

"The Wu Yu clan? Four Rain-level (Yu Ji) experts from the royal family acting together, even I would find it hard to handle."

Whoosh!

Behind the shattered mirror was… You Long!

"That's truly astonishing… even the [Line Shield] can be broken. I don't recall the Wu Yu clan having such monsters."

You Long behind the shattered mirror maintained her smile, but this time, her smile was somewhat strained.

At the same time, the You Long beside the Second Elder and Third Elder of the You family gradually transformed into strands of silk, disappearing into the air.

"So that's how it is."

"Thank you, big brother, for clarifying things."

"Brothers, let's move out, avenge the Fifth Brother, and pave a new path for Father!"

Boom! !

Thunder roared, and the night rain falling from the black clouds gradually turned blood-red, transforming into Li Yu (Torrential Rain), intensifying.

In this pale red night rain, the four princes of the Wu Yu clan engaged in a fierce battle with the three elders of the You family.

However, amidst this chaotic battle, no one noticed that Wei Ba, who should have been dead, and Fang Yue's corpse had quietly disappeared.

…

Swish.

The pale red Li Yu (Torrential Rain) fell from the black clouds, gradually corroding the houses and streets of the capital. The situation was deteriorating towards the worst possible outcome.

Beneath the Li Yu (Torrential Rain), a black shadow rapidly traversed the streets, and with a flip, hid under a bridge as it approached.

Looking up at the river beneath the bridge, the once clear river was now gradually taking on a faint blood color, looking eerie and sinister, like a river from the underworld.

"Huff… huff… huff…"

Hiding under the bridge, Wei Ba leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

Beside her was Fang Yue's corpse, which she had taken with her when she fled.

Looking closely, one could see a small ice-colored dot had formed at the spot between Wei Ba’s eyebrows where she had been pierced.

"Lord Qi Ba Jiu, you are finally willing to take action…"

[Don't misunderstand. It would just be troublesome for me if you died.]
