Chapter 1393: Chapter 220: This Time, We Will Stay Together
The change in Boss Peng Yu’s expression was caught just in time by Yun Sheng.
"Boss Peng Yu, what’s the matter? Why do you look so grim?" Yun Sheng asked, observing Boss Peng Yu’s actions.
"Master, things aren’t looking good. There’s a massive rumor outside that Hei Yao has led a hundred thousand Black Qilin elites and rallied other Eight Desolate Beast Clans, and they’re pursuing you and Lord Ye all over the continent." Boss Peng Yu hesitated for a while before finally speaking out.
This news came out in the morning.
The Hei Qilin Tribe is astonishingly influential on the Bahuang Continent, and Hei Yao personally issued the command. Several Beast Clans on the continent have already responded, except for Jiuluan, the Di Clan, the Hua Clan, and the Bimong Clan.
Especially the Heavenly Fox, Azure Nether Wolf, Ba Snake, and Pengyu Clan, who had previously feuded with Yun Sheng and others, have also joined Hei Yao’s allied beast army. They’re combing the land, sea, and air across multiple regions of the Bahuang Continent in search of Yun Sheng and others’ whereabouts.
"Why does Hei Yao suddenly want to hunt us down? This situation seems odd," Yun Sheng said, slightly changing his expression upon hearing the news.
Although Hei Yao has always resented her and Ye Beiming, he had never resorted to lethal measures. Otherwise, if he were cornered, he could have acted in Tianyong City long ago.
Yun Sheng always believed that Hei Yao’s feelings for Li Qingcheng would never allow him to truly take action against Ye Beiming.
In fact, Hei Yao did indeed do as expected.
"I heard it’s because the Young Clan Chief of the Hei Qilin Tribe, Hei Linlin, was killed, and the murderer is... you." Boss Peng Yu hesitantly said.
This is obviously framing us.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming exchanged glances. Ever since they took control of the city, all orders and measures were issued directly from the Divine Realm Treasure Ship, and they hadn’t left it.
Not to mention Hei Linlin, they hadn’t even encountered anyone from the Hei Qilin Tribe.
"Hei Linlin is dead, and the Black Qilin King Relics have probably fallen into the hands of the murderer. No wonder Hei Yao has gone mad and united the other four great beast clans to hunt us down." Ye Beiming couldn’t believe the situation had escalated to this extent.
Although Hei Yao has many children, the truly outstanding ones were only Hei Linlin and Dugu Xiu.
Hei Linlin, having grown up with Hei Yao since childhood, was as arrogant as Hei Yao himself and was his most cherished offspring. With Hei Linlin’s death, and the loss of the Qilin King Relics, it’s no surprise Hei Yao would be enraged.
"Master, that Hei Yao is a madman capable of anything. We better leave the Bahuang Continent immediately," Bo Bo urged.
Between the Bahuang Continent and the Wuji Continent is the Dutian Blood Realm. Unless you’re of a realm god level like Bo Bo, even Hei Yao won’t be able to cross it quickly.
Leaving the Bahuang Continent is currently the safest option.
"Yun Sheng, Bo Bo is right. You, Lady Ruolan, and Little Yingying should return to the Wuji Continent first. I’ll handle the affairs of the Hei Qilin Tribe and will definitely find out who framed us," Ye Beiming felt something was amiss.
He had faced Hei Linlin before, and with the Black Qilin King Relics on her, even he couldn’t guarantee he could kill her.
The person who killed Hei Linlin must be extraordinary.
"No, I’m not leaving. Ye Hu, wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be." Yun Sheng shook her head.
She understood Ye Beiming’s concerns very well.
Hei Yao is after the two of them, and if both of them left, the furious Hei Yao would certainly target the Hua Clan and the human clan on the Eight Desolates Continent.
All her painstaking efforts during that period would be in vain.
Ye Beiming wanted to stay behind, hoping to stop Hei Yao’s wrath and find the real culprit. However, the current Hei Yao might not listen to Ye Beiming’s explanations.
They had been separated countless times, and this time, she couldn’t let go of this man again.
"You..." Ye Beiming was momentarily speechless, complex emotions flickering in his eyes.
In this situation, Ye Beiming felt that no matter how much he wanted to say, he couldn’t. He just held Yun Sheng’s hand tightly, unable to let go.
"Master, Kirin, if you’re not leaving, neither am I." Bo Bo stubbornly said.
"Bo Bo, don’t be willful. If Hei Yao makes a move, even the Divine Realm Treasure Ship may not withstand his fury. First, take Little Yingying and Lady Ruolan, who are defenseless, back to the Wuji Continent, to my parents. Make sure not to tell them about what’s happening here." Yun Sheng was most worried about Lady Ruolan and the others.
"Master, you must be careful. I’ll take Lady Ruolan and the others back first, but I’ll come back right away to find you." Bo Bo’s eyes were red, like a rabbit.
She had a feeling that leaving her master this time might mean she wouldn’t see her again.
Bo Bo left with Lady Ruolan and the others.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming watched them disappear into the magic array.
"Master, what should we do next?" Boss Peng Yu was also surprised that in such circumstances, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming chose to stay.
"Boss Peng Yu, we offended Hei Yao, which might implicate you. If you’re afraid, you can leave with your men." Yun Sheng gathered everyone on the ship.
"No, Master, you didn’t abandon us, and we won’t leave you. Although the Hua Clan is newly established, all its subjects are loyal to you out of respect. No matter how strong the Hei Qilin Tribe is, they can’t compare to the millions of the human clan and half-beastmen of the Hua Clan."
Boss Peng Yu and everyone on the ship, including Qingcheng, refused to leave.
"If that’s the case, let’s choose the nearest city and wait for Hei Yao’s arrival." Yun Sheng didn’t want to hide anymore; what must be faced must be faced.
Be it Hei Yao or any other Beast Clan tribe, Yun Sheng had never truly been afraid.
Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming chose a Bimong clan city, Luochuan City, as their temporary foothold. Meanwhile, they spread the news, awaiting Hei Yao’s army.
Hei Yao hadn’t arrived yet, but Yun Sheng and the others were met by someone else.
"High Priest?" Ye Beiming was still somewhat wary upon seeing the High Priest.
The High Priest of the Beast God Altar seemed to be everywhere, arriving even faster than Hei Yao.
"It’s been a while, the two of you need not be alarmed. I’m not Hei Yao’s accomplice. On the contrary, we’re here today to help you." The High Priest, still clad in a shadowy sacrificial robe, appeared eerie.
The young man and woman before him stood together like a perfect couple.
In such a situation, they chose to stay on the Bahuang Continent and confront Hei Yao head-on, a choice that made the High Priest regard them with a bit of admiration.
