C378 Cold Heart Palpitating(2)

Dongfang Jin's power was beyond anyone's imagination. Naturally, he didn't have to personally deal with the matter of the Profound Heaven Token. Her mother was poisoned by Drunken Red Dust. This medicine came from Medicine King Valley. Could it be that someone like Dongfang Jin, who had control over the affairs of the world, would not receive any news from the capital?

Previously, she thought that even if Dongfang Jin knew her identity as the Heavenly Lady, to someone like him who was revered as a god by the world, it would not bring him much benefits. However, Dongfang Xiao was different. He begged her to be blessed by the Goddess, and that was why he gave her mother the chance to get drunk in the mortal world. So that he could control her. Dongfang Jin had nothing to ask from her, so he would not have any schemes.

But now? It turned out that his request was much bigger than Dongfang Xiao's.

The blood essence of a direct descendant of the Lan family was because of this thing. That was why he had carefully planned to let her return to the capital with him. In the end, he had used his infinite tenderness as a net, causing her to fall into his hands and be willing to use him.

She no longer needed to seek confirmation, because when she was in the Gourd Cave in Li City. When Lan Yuhua used the Lan family's spirit art, Su Qinglan's face was filled with shock and disgust. Hatred and hesitation were enough to prove that what Soong Xiaoyou said was most likely correct.

Thinking further, when Dongfang Lyi first saw her... His attitude towards her was also very strange. When Soong Xiaoyou bestowed the marriage, Dongfang Lyi spoke to Dongfang Jin in the study. She had only heard half of it, but now that she thought about it, this half was like a sharp sword. It broke all the trust between her and Dongfang Jin.

No wonder Emperor Wenjing changed his attitude so strangely when he found out about her parents' identities. No wonder someone from the Lan family sneaked into the Heavenly Saint Capital that time, and she retreated before she could investigate. Coincidentally, Dongfang Jin was also seriously injured at that time. He said that he was hit by the Art Dissipation Powder. But now that he thought about it carefully, there were no traces of the Energy Transformation Powder when he was healing his injuries.

If her guess was correct, even her father didn't know that the extinction of Zhao family was related to the Lan family. Otherwise, he would have told her everything, and not let her get married under Dongfang Jin's deceit.

After understanding all of this, Lan Xuehan felt a suffocating pain in her heart. A thing known as deception and anger burned her rationality, making her heart feel like it was being torn apart by something. It was extremely painful.

In her previous life, as a special forces soldier who managed the overall situation, she was known as a genius girl. In this life, her teacher from Skysnow Mountain had learned the art of an emperor, a horizontal strategy.

However, in the end, she was not as scheming as Dongfang Jin. He had planned every step of the way with great care. He had made her pay with her life and her heart.

He just didn't know, in this scam. Did he also fall into the trap? Or did he fall in love with him?

Thinking that the love between her and Dongfang Jin was only one of his schemes, Lan Xuehan felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cellar, without any warmth at all.

Her face darkened, her nails dug into her palm but she did not feel any pain at all.

After a long time, Lan Xuehan's face darkened, her eyes were calm, like a deep pond. She turned around and walked to the desk, wrote two letters and sent out the messenger bird.

Then she ate and drank. Other than her cold expression, there was no change.

But looking at Lan Xuehan like this, Liuyun and Mo Xing's heart became increasingly uneasy.

On the other side, Dongfang Jin still did not know that Lan Xuehan already knew what he wanted to hide. Four days ago, the battle plan that they had previously formulated had already been implemented.

At this moment, the battlefield was littered with corpses, and blood flowed like rivers. Broken arms and broken bodies were everywhere, and it was a testament to the intensity of the battles that had occurred during these four days.

Beiming Yu was wearing a black armor, and his peerlessly handsome face was filled with killing intent. The Long Xuan Sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at Dongfang Xuan and... Dongfang Jin, who had been fighting with him for four days.

"You are not Dongfang Jin." His tone was firm, but the coldness inside was enough to freeze a person to death.

If he wasn't Dongfang Jin, then the Black Tortoise Formation and the battlefield fighting these four days would be a delaying tactic. He had seen all the chiefs, so he naturally had some understanding of the Black Tortoise Grand Formation.

But this time, the Black Tortoise Formation had been modified by someone. The killing intent had been reduced sharply, but there were more unpredictable changes. This was what he had sensed as soon as he entered the formation, but it was already too late by then.

Those who entered the formation could only break the formation if they wanted to leave.

He used four days to break the formation, but now that he came out, he knew that he fell into the trap. Dongfang Jin was a good schemer, after all, he had been careless.

His eyes were filled with killing intent, and his voice was as cold as iron. He said, "If that's the case, then all of you should leave your lives behind!"

If his guess was correct, Dongfang Jin was afraid that Dongfang Jin wanted to touch Lyi Beichen, break one of his arms, break his power, and force him to stop fighting for the time being.

It was too late to stop him now. He would leave their lives behind to repay Dongfang Jin.

Beiming Yu's killing intent filled the air. The sword in his hand was like a rainbow as he pointed it at the two of them.

When the soldiers behind saw this, the two sides immediately started fighting again. A thick smell of rust spread in the air. Everyone's eyes had already turned red from killing.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xuan immediately shouted, "Retreat!"

According to the previous plan, as long as Beiming Yu broke the formation, they would retreat immediately. As long as they retreated to the formation Dongfang Jin had prepared, they would be able to protect him.

But they never would have thought that Beiming Yu actually had the Luoyue Book in his hands.

This was an ancient wondrous book. It was a formation that blocked the path of retreat. However, there was a drawback of this ancient wondrous book. It had experienced the vicissitudes of life for too long. Thus, there was not much spiritual energy left in it. Every time it was used, it would lose the spiritual energy inside.

In short, after he used it this time, the Luoyue Book would not appear in the modern world for a long time.

Dongfang Xuan and the others who were about to retreat were cut off by Luoyue Book.

When Dongfang Xuan saw this, his heart sank slightly. Now, he could only take a gamble. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and then shouted, "Kill!"

Dongfang Jin followed his previous plan and led Lyi Beichen into the canyon, trapping him. Then he let Su Qingyi help Lyi Beichen and the others first. First, she wanted to prevent Beiming Yu from planning a sneak attack on the military camp. Second, he didn't want Su Qingyi to know what he was going to do next.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Su Qingyi, but he felt that if she didn't know, it would be a form of protection for her.

But there were some things that were arranged by the underworld. No one could escape this destined cycle.

Su Qingyi brought her men over and saw Dongfang Xuan and the others' murderous looks.

She stepped on the horse with force and then ran away.

Dongfang Xuan was not weak, but when he faced Beiming Yu, he could only hold on for a while.

He saw Beiming Yu's Long Xuan Sword piercing towards him, but he didn't have the strength to resist.

He was already prepared to die, but the outcome wasn't what he expected. Instead, he heard a familiar groan, and his heart gradually sank.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that pair of watery eyes that had been looking at him with adoration, but this time, those eyes were filled with joy and... reluctance.

Su Qingyi was incomparably glad that she came a step earlier. Otherwise, she would not be able to save the person she loved.

This was the belief that she had believed in since she was young. It was the footsteps that she had always pursued. For him, she had paid a lot. Although she obtained very little, at least he still felt some warmth towards her in the end.

In this life, she chased after him for love, without any regrets!
