HCB Chapter 290 I'm Going to Save Him
Chapter 290 I'm Going to Save Him
Since Yun Fuzhao awoke, Que Yu had not restricted her freedom; she could freely enter and leave the palace.
But this is contingent on having someone to follow you.
Over the past few days, Yun Fuzhao has pretty much figured out the current situation.
The four ferocious beasts have all broken through the seal, the Northern Continent has completely fallen, and only a few sects in the Southern Continent are struggling to hold on.
And the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm...
During that miracle, Yun Fuzhao heard Yu Ze's voice before losing consciousness; he also seemed to be seriously injured...
Yun Fuzhao didn't want to think about it too much. Yu Ze was the main villain in the book, so he certainly wouldn't die so easily.
There is a high probability that Qi Huai will escape.
That was the only way she could comfort herself.
Yun Fuzhao looked down at her palm. Not only had her spiritual energy dissipated, but she couldn't even summon Wuji.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, and Yun Fuzhao immediately knelt down in pain, her five fingers gripping the front of her clothes tightly.
what happened?
Waves of pain washed over her, as if someone were chiseling at her bones.
[Yun Family Team 3, Hong Ziqing: What's wrong with Xiao Zhaozhao?]
[It's possible the wound hasn't healed yet. You're too weak right now, don't think too much about it, just rest and recover.]
Yun Fuzhao broke out in a cold sweat, his face as pale as paper.
This pain was even worse than when Shang Ji stabbed her in the heart; the former was physical, but this was a double torment of body and mind.
The image of Que Yu flashed through her mind. Could it be that he did something to her? A Gu worm? A slow-acting poison?
Just as she was pondering this, she heard footsteps approaching.
"Really? Did they really do that?"
"There's no doubt about it. It's all over the place. They're using the Dragon Clan to demonstrate their power to everyone."
Upon hearing the words "Dragon Clan," Yun Fuzhao's heart sank. She hid to the side to eavesdrop on the two's conversation.
"Alas, the former overlord of the six realms has fallen to the point of being skinned alive." The ghost paused. "In seven days, it will be beheaded. If Yun Fuzhao finds out..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Yun Fuzhao hear you. Have you forgotten what the Emperor instructed us to do?"
"Hey, what is Your Majesty thinking? Why did you bring the enemy back? If those ferocious beasts find out, they will definitely make things difficult for Your Majesty."
As the two demon clans walked further and further away, Yun Fuzhao's mind went blank. What did that mean? Beheading?
Her heart pounded, a feeling of losing control gripping it. No, absolutely not.
Yun Fuzhao went to find Que Yu without stopping. At that time, he was sitting in the main hall listening to his subordinates report on their affairs. When he saw her coming, he raised his hand to interrupt his subordinates.
Que Yu's eyes showed a hint of surprise; this was the first time Yun Fuzhao had taken the initiative to come to him.
During her time in the ghost realm, she rarely spoke to him, let alone took the initiative to seek him out.
What's going on today...?
"They're going to kill Jiaoyu?!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Fuzhao interrupted him.
The slight surprise on Que Yu's face quickly vanished. He dismissed his subordinates. "Who told you?"
Yun Fuzhao scoffed, "You still want to hide it from me?"
"Even if I told you, what difference would it make?" Que Yu said calmly. "With your half-dead body, do you think you could save him?"
"That's something I should consider."
Que Yu: "You have hope as long as you live. I went through so much trouble to save you from the miracle, how could I just watch you die in vain?"
Since he said that, Yun Fuzhao had no intention of maintaining a false peace with him. She said, word by word, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
You simply want to use me, or my connections, to fight against the ferocious beast.
For many days, Yun Fuzhao had been pondering Que Yu's motives. If he had made up his mind to betray her, why did he risk being discovered by the ferocious beasts to save her?
After much thought, she concluded that there was only one possibility.
It's because the ferocious beast didn't follow his rules.
How could a cunning old fox like Que Yu help a ferocious beast for nothing? They must have promised him something.
What he needs most right now is to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality.
Upon hearing this, Que Yu's eyes flickered. After a long silence, he replied, "Yes and no."
Yun Fuzhao didn't want to play games with him. "Que Yu, I clearly promised to give you the power of inheritance, so why did you choose to help them?"
“Yun Fuzhao,” Que Yu laughed, “It’s your own fault for misjudging people, allowing the ferocious beast to take advantage of the situation. If there hadn’t been a ferocious beast by your side, I might have kept my promise to you.”
Yun Fuzhao remained silent.
She hadn't actually let her guard down around Shang Ji, but with the Ghost Cow attacking and so many other things to deal with, she temporarily put him out of her mind.
It was her negligence that led her to pay a heavy price.
Que Yu didn't completely trust her either, otherwise he wouldn't have made two preparations from the beginning.
There's no point in saying anything more now, Yun Fuzhao said, "I'm going to save Jiaoyu."
"You still want to go and die?"
"If Jiaoyu dies, then no one in this world can stop them."
Que Yu stared at her. "You can."
His tone was confident, as if Yun Fuzhao possessed limitless potential.
Yun Fuzhao was taken aback. "You really think I'm a savior?"
Que Yu remained silent.
"If Jiaoyu dies, I won't do as you wish. We might as well all die together."
"..."
After a long pause, Que Yu said, "I can agree to your request, but I have one condition."
"what?"
"You must soak in the medicinal pool for the next seven days to recover properly, otherwise you'll die on your way to save Jiaoyu before you even see her."
"it is good."
Que Yu currently maintains a superficial cooperative relationship with the four ferocious beasts. With his protection, Yun Fuzhao might be able to save Jiaoyu.
Of course, this possibility is almost zero.
There's no guarantee that Que Yu won't change his mind and betray her at the last minute.
But now Yun Fuzhao has no choice; he's going to die either way. He might as well try taking a risk.
The medicinal pool that Que Yu mentioned was very strange. Every time she went down into it, it felt like her limbs and bones were being reassembled, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't even open her eyes.
But you can also clearly feel your body being repaired at an astonishing speed.
Even her damaged dantian is visibly being repaired.
Upon hearing her words, the powerful beings recklessly poured their cultivation into the attacks.
However, these considerable cultivation levels were not enough for her to break through; she hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
They were simply accumulating in her dantian and could not be used or refined.
[Yun Family Team 6, You Ziqian: Logically speaking, your dantian has been repaired, you should be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage...]
[Yun Family Team 4 Hong Ziqing: Is it possible that I haven't fully recovered yet?]
[He Yu, 5th Guard of the Yun Family: Yun girl, are you really going to rescue Jiaoyu? That's clearly a trap, a one-way trip!]
Yun Fuzhao: [I know.]
Thinking of something, Yun Fuzhao smiled, "[Great beings, during the time I was dead, I actually dreamed of my parents for the first time in a long time...]"
