Volume 1 Chapter 070 The Final Frenzy

  "Cousin!"

  Ye Hanshan's body shook violently, and he hastily hugged Zhu Mei, staring at the sharp dagger stuck in her abdomen, tears streaming down his face as he held her even tighter: "Cousin, why are you so stupid?"

  With his current cultivation as a martial arts master, Qin Luohan was only tempered to the high level of physical refinement. There wasn't even any spiritual energy inside his body, so how could he be injured?

  Zhu Mei's face was pale, and fresh blood kept gushing out of her abdomen. She looked at Ye Hanshan with a guilty conscience, her voice hoarse as she said: "Brother, I'm sorry."

  He had deep feelings for her, she wasn't unaware of it, but... She had already fallen in love with Qin Lingyun, and this lifetime could only disappoint him. And his parents were also killed because they were implicated by her. Today, he was even more guilty of selfishness, and the plan to frame Qin Liu Yi was exposed... The king would not forgive him easily.

  Qin stared blankly at the blood flowing out from under her mother's body, getting more and more, her breathing getting weaker and weaker, her face deathly pale. She kept backing away, muttering in terror: "Mother, I don't want to kill you, I really don't want to kill you... I want to kill that bastard who bullied you..."

  Zhu Mei turned her head, and in her eyes that were gradually losing their vitality, there was a mixture of pity and regret: "Hanye, he is your father!"

  "No!" Qin Luo Han's crazy scream: "He is not! My father is the King of Zhen Nan, not that damned man!"

  "Ah!" Zhu Mei heard her words and excitedly spat out a mouthful of blood: "Hanye, he really is your father!"

  She knew the news would be a huge blow to her, and in an instant, from being the daughter of the majestic Town South King, she became the daughter of another unknown man. With her pride, she couldn't accept it.

  But... no matter if she can accept it or not, this is an unchangeable fact! She now stubbornly refuses to acknowledge Ye Hanshan as her father, fearing that after she dies, she will have no one left to rely on.

  Watching her grow weaker and weaker, Ye Hanshan hugged her and suddenly knelt down in front of King Zhen Nan, pleading hoarsely: "Your Majesty, please save her, for the sake of all the years she's followed you, save her!"

  The King of Zhen Nan's expression was cold and stern, his face looking extremely unpleasant. He had anger, hatred, and sorrow in his heart. Without waiting for Ye Hanshan to say anything more, he quickly stepped forward, grasped Zhu Mei's wrist pulse, and a warm yet unending stream of spiritual energy flowed into her body, surging towards the wound on her abdomen.

  Zhu Mei stared at him dazedly.

  The King of Zhen Nan's face sank, and he flipped his hand to produce a finely crafted blue dan bottle, pouring out a pellet of greenish-white dan medicine, which he placed at her lips.

  That was a fifth-grade healing pill.

  Zhu Mei forcedly opened her mouth, refusing to eat. Ye Hanshan's face was anxious: "Cousin, quickly...eat it and you'll be fine."

  Zhu Mei shook her head and smiled wretchedly: "Your Highness, don't waste such good things on me anymore, let me die. I know I've wronged you and disappointed you. Just spare Han Er and Hanshan."

  The King of Zhen Nan looked at her silently.

  Zhu Mei hastily reached out her hand, wanting to grab his hand and plead: "Your Highness, today's matter, I know it was our fault, but the county princess is fine now... Han'er has become like this, let all the sins be borne by me alone, please spare them, Your Highness."

  All these years, her heart has become cold and hard due to jealousy and resentment, but everything she did was for the sake of her daughter. Even now that her daughter has stabbed her in the back, she still wishes her well.

  "Qin Luo Yi, go die!" Unbeknownst to anyone, Qin Luo Han, who had been in a daze, had retreated to Qin Luo Yi's side. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on Zhu Mei and Zhen Nan Wang, she picked up a long sword with a cold glow from the ground and viciously slashed at Qin Luo Yi.

  Qin Luoyi had actually been paying attention to Qin Luhans movements all along, and now that she saw her rushing over, she was not flustered. A cold glint flashed in her phoenix-like eyes, and with a slight movement of her hand, she already held a talisman in her palm.

  Xie Ruyan was shocked and quickly retreated, pulling her back, shouting: "Qin Luohan, what are you doing? Put down the knife!" He also ordered the guards beside him: "Stop her."

  The guards shouted in unison and surrounded him with their swords raised.

  Qin Luoyi saw Xie Ruyan standing in front of her, fearlessly shielding her at a critical moment. She was deeply moved and thought to herself that Xie Ruyan had no spiritual power on her body, weaker than herself. Qin couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused. She slightly shifted her position, adjusting the angle, and then hid Xie behind her back once again.

  Qin Luohan was not afraid of those guards, his swollen face like a pig's head, a bloodthirsty frenzy floating on it, he raised his wrist, and a top-level six-grade ice blade symbol shot out instantly, killing a large number of guards in an instant.

  This talisman was given to her by King Zhennan before, sixth grade, which is the highest grade of talismans sold on the Holy Dragon Continent. At that time, King Zhennan gave one to her and also gave one to Qin Luoyi.

  It was only a few days ago that she tricked Qin Luoyi into giving her the six-grade talisman, fearing that if Qin Luoyi used it to save herself, their plan would fall through. (What she didn't know was that Qin Luoyi had long seen through her scheme and had intentionally handed over the talisman; of all things, what Qin Luoyi lacked least were elixirs and talismans.)

  If it weren't for Jia Ren taking away her storage ring while she was unconscious, how would she have become a lamb to be slaughtered, bullied by Jia Ren and his guards!

  "Qin Luo Yi, Xie Ru Yan, come die with me!" Qin Luo Han sneered, his hands gripping the sharp sword as he hacked at Qin Luo Yi once again.

  "Damn it!"

  Zhen Nan Wang's face turned iron-green, he didn't expect Qin Luo Han to be crazy to this extent, killing his own mother was not enough, and now he even wants to kill Qin Luo Yi and her daughter!

  He could no longer afford to give Zhu Mei any more spiritual energy, and with a "whoosh" sound, he stood up, turned around, and rushed towards Qin Luo's mother and daughter.

  Bang!

  "Bang!"

  "Ah!"

  ……

  A shrill cry of despair rang out as Qin Luo fell like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground.

  Zhen Nan Wang had not yet made a move, when the Crown Prince Chu Yi Feng and the Third Imperial Son Chu Yi Xiu simultaneously jumped up from the ground. Two powerful spiritual forces struck Qin Luo Han, sending him flying out.

  "Brr!"

  Zhu Mei let out a miserable cry, struggling to crawl over and see her daughter. Her heart was excitedly boiling with blood, fresh blood gushing out from the corners of her mouth one mouthful after another. In an instant, she rolled back her eyes and died.

  "Cousin! Cousin!" Ye Hanshan's face turned pale as he shook her several times, but Zhu Mei had no reaction. He reached out to feel under her nose and found that she was no longer breathing. Suddenly, he felt like he had been struck by lightning, standing there in a daze.

  Qin Luo Han's back was turned to Zhu Mei, completely unaware that his mother had already lost her life because of him. With a great deal of effort, he finally managed to stand up shakily, his scarlet eyes staring incredulously at the white-clad figure in front of him - the elegant and refined Third Prince, Chu Yu Xiu: "Third Highness, you actually want to kill me?"

  Chu Yixiu's eyes were icy cold, staring at her with a chilly gaze, without saying a word.

  Qin Luo went mad with laughter, laughing and shaking while spitting out blood: "Your Highness, I liked you so much, how could you want to kill me? Why? Is it because you were also bewitched by that fox spirit Qin Luyi?"

  The Crown Prince Chu Yi heard this and cast a sideways glance at Chu Yi Xiu, a hint of unusual color flashing in his deep eyes.

  Chu Yixiu pressed her thin lips together and angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting! Yi'er is my future crown prince's consort. You three mother-daughter, actually colluding with each other to scheme against her... Now that the truth has been exposed, you still want to kill her! With such ruthlessness, I will naturally have to kill you!"

  Qin Luo Han stumbled and almost fell, but she forced herself to run towards him: "Is she your future princess? Your Highness, I'm heartless... In your eyes, am I just a despicable person like this? Qin Luo Yi is a useless thing, and in the past, she was even an ugly freak. What makes her worthy of marrying you? What makes her worthy of being your princess? It should be me who becomes your princess! I framed her... Haha, if it wasn't for the sake of marrying you and living with you, would I have done such a thing?"

  The people around her gasped in shock, their eyes staring at her in astonishment. They had set up such a sinister plot, actually intending to thoroughly destroy the Princess of Anping and then marry the Third Prince themselves?

  This woman has really gone mad!

  And his mother didn't even stop her, but instead helped her to be cruel. Today, dying at the hands of this ruthless daughter is also a self-inflicted punishment! Not worth sympathizing with!

  The third prince, Chu Yixiu, was also shocked by her words and changed his expression, looking extremely ugly: "You are simply unreasonable! My marriage to Princess Anping is a gift from the Emperor's sacred decree. What right do you have to speak here?"

  Her gaze was extremely disdainful, cold and indifferent, with no hint of her usual warmth and gentleness.

  Qin Luo Han was provoked by his ruthless words and vomited blood uncontrollably, staring at him as if she had never known him before.

  Before his eyes, all sorts of things from the past appeared... When he inadvertently bumped into Qin Luo Yi, her slightly furrowed eyebrows and impatient eyes were suppressed, but when he met her, he had a faint smile on his lips, his voice full of magnetism and joy, so gentle.

  These are still vivid in her mind, but now they seem to have turned upside down. When he looks at Qin Luo Yi, he is so gentle, but when he looks at herself, he is icy cold and makes her afraid!

  "Haha!" Qin Luohan's body ached as if it was being strangled, but he didn't know whether it was heartache or the severe pain from the injuries inflicted by his beloved and the crown prince earlier.

  "She is your imperial princess, bestowed upon you by the emperor's sacred decree. It seems I was just overthinking everything," her gaze gradually dimmed as she looked at Qin Luoyi with an unspoken sinister and eerie glint in her eyes: "However... Third Imperial Prince, I want to tell you a secret, one that I believe will certainly interest you."

  Qin's heart skipped a beat as she felt something was off, and she wondered what kind of evil idea this woman would come up with at this time.

  Qin Luo walked unsteadily to the front of the Third Prince, gazing at his handsome face, with endless love shining in her eyes. In a very low voice, she said: "Do you think today is the first time I've set her up? Hehe, if that's what you think, then you're wrong."

  Chu Yixiu's expression became even colder, and in the depths of his eyes, there was a flash of intense killing intent. This woman is completely beyond salvation!

  Qin Luohan's eyes were about to give out, and she was almost unable to hold on. The palm strike that Chu Yifeng and his brother had used earlier was a full-strength blow, and the only reason she was still standing was because of her indignation and desperation, which allowed her to muster up one last breath.

  She walked closer to him again, as if she had exhausted all her life, and finally fell towards Chuyi Xiu. Chuyi Xiu was about to push her away, but when he heard her murmuring words, he hesitated for a moment, and his fingers actually supported her.

  Qin Luohan smiled and closed his eyes, falling into his arms, leaning close to his ear, and said another sentence. After finishing the sentence, Chu Yixiu's handsome face suddenly changed greatly, pushing her away, wanting to ask what was going on, but found that Qin Luohan had already closed his eyes and fallen into a deep coma.

  He raised his head and his gaze fell on Qin Luoyi in the distance, with a complex expression, as if there were endless waves surging inside, unpredictable and inexplicable.

  The crown prince Chu Yi's eyes narrowed dangerously as he glared fiercely at Qin Luo Han, who was either dead or something else.

  Just now Qin Luohan spoke in a low voice, but he was close and heard it. This woman is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, even if she dies, she won't forget to make trouble. I really regret not using a bit more force just now and slapping her to death on the spot!

  Zhen Nan Wang stared at Qin Luo Han as he spat out blood and fainted in pain, his face pale. He quickly walked over and took Qin Luo Han's body from the Third Prince's hands.

  Although Qin Luo Han was not his own daughter, he still wanted to take her life under Qin Luo Yi's hands. However, having watched her grow up since she was a child, he wasn't completely heartless. With Zhu Mei already dead and now her daughter also on the verge of death, the taste in his heart wasn't good.

  But what he didn't expect was that not only did Luo Yi have deep feelings for the Third Prince, but Qin Luohan also had them! And even today's evil deeds were all because he wanted to destroy Luo Yi and take his place.

  Tall figure, suddenly aged a few years, he knew that Qin Luohan and her mother would become like this, not unrelated to him. The low self-esteem and rare speech of Luo Yi before losing his memory were probably also related to Zhu Mei and her mother.

  Zhu Mei is dead, and Qin Luo Han doesn't know if she's alive or dead either. Ye Han Shan feels a deep sorrow and anger in his heart, but he dares not go over to take a look at Qin Luo Han. Taking advantage of the crowd's distraction, he quietly puts down Zhu Mei and tries to slip away unnoticed.

  The guards soon discovered that each of them was holding a knife and sword, and they blocked his way. This man not only wanted to harm the princess of Anping, but also killed five guards of the Zhen Nan Wang Fu. Without the king's order, they would naturally not let him go.

  Ye Hanshan knew that today was hopeless, drew his sword and charged at the guards, wanting to use his own strength to kill a bloody path.

  Unfortunately, there were too many guards, and when they discovered he wanted to escape, layer upon layer of them surrounded him and quickly knocked him down.

  Zhen Nan Wang let go of Qin Luo Han and walked over, looking at him for a moment before saying: "I've always been curious, how did you find that secret book back then?"

  Ye Hanshan fell silent for a few breaths, not hiding the truth: "I don't understand cultivation, that secret book is unremarkable, placed in a corner, already dusty. I thought of taking that one, and it shouldn't be discovered by you."

  So that's how it is.

  King of Zhen Nan was astonished.

  His casual pick-up led to his own preconceived notions, and then he had such a big misunderstanding with Zhu Mei.

  Thinking of Zhu Mei, whose bones were still cold, and Qin Luohan, who might not be able to hold on for much longer, he couldn't bear to let him die under the chaotic blades of the guards. However, having set up such a ruthless and poisonous scheme, designing to trap and harm Qin Luyi, he absolutely could not forgive!

  And just thinking about it, if only a little bit, Lu Yi was almost dragged away by Jia Ren to be gang-raped, he would be furious and hard to contain his anger.

  This is not about breaking off the engagement, they are trying to drive their daughter to death! It's hateful and lamentable that with all their efforts, in the end, it was their own flesh-and-blood daughter who suffered the consequences.

  "I won't kill you, take care of yourself!" The King of Southern Town said coldly, with a glint of icy light in his eyes.

  He couldn't escape death, Ye Hanshan was not surprised at all. His gaze turned to Zhu Mei and Qin Luohan in the distance. With a defeated expression, he slowly raised his sword and wiped it against his neck with force. Fresh blood gushed out, and with a loud thud, Ye Hanshan fell to the ground, lifeless.

  Zhen Nan Wang took out the Wu Xin Cao from Ye Han Shan's storage ring and handed it to Ruan Xiang, a white-clothed woman from Xun Fang Pavilion, telling her to use the Wu Xin Cao to save her own brother.

  Ruan Xiangxi was overjoyed and knelt down to thank Zhen Nan Wang, knocking her head several times on the ground before leaving with a thousand thanks.

  The next day, King Zhennan held a grand funeral for the five guards who were assassinated at Xiangguo Temple and found another place to bury Zhu Mei and Ye Hanshan together.

  Yuanchou governor Jia Hao, did not expect his own son to follow him to the capital, before the father and son had a chance to meet, his son was beheaded, dying miserably under the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple.

  He had an old son, just this one son, who hadn't carried on the family line yet. From a young age, he was treasured like a precious gem. When he received this terrible news, his heart was so shocked that he almost died from a stroke and lay in bed for several days before barely managing to save his life.

  He lost his son and couldn't even avenge him. He knew what kind of person his own son was, yet this time he dared to make decisions about the daughter of Zhen Nan Wang - although later it was discovered that the woman wasn't actually Zhen Nan Wang's daughter, but An Ping Princess had indeed been captured by his son. Even if he was at Xiang Guo Temple back then, when Zhen Nan Wang wanted to kill his son, he didn't dare make a sound.

  Jia Hao barely managed to save his life, but he couldn't calm down, and that bad breath wouldn't come out. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night!

  Every day, he would scold and bully the servants around him, but still couldn't vent his frustrations. As for the people who died that day, they were all more or less gone. The Prince of Town South's estate was not a place he dared to approach, so after some thought, he came up with the idea of going to Xunfang Pavilion to look for Ruan Xiang.

  If it weren't for that cheap woman's deliberate scheme, how would his son have run to the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple and gotten involved with that damned Ye Hanshan?

  After thinking of countless ways to torment Ruan Xiang, he finally gave up. His son's death was too sensational, and now in the capital city, there were countless eyes watching him, he couldn't afford to make a single mistake.

  Xunfang Pavilion is a brothel, Ruan Xiang is a prostitute. For the sake of a prostitute, he has already lost his son's life, it's not worth losing his own as well.

  Finally, he decided to let Nguyen Huong die in bed!

  Xun Fang Pavilion shouldn't have any reason to refuse letting people in for pleasure, right? Moreover, some people's methods of playing with prostitutes are endless, and can make people unable to live or die. He would find someone, use some perverted methods, and brutally play them to death!

  Before his plan was implemented, there were already imperial censors who impeached him for corruption and bribery, killing people indiscriminately, and even letting his son commit murder. Furthermore, someone from Yuanzhou actually ran to the capital to file a complaint.

  His son is extremely cruel and has no qualms about harming others. In order to suppress the families of those who were bullied to death by his son from making a fuss, his hands are not clean either.

  In less than a month, Jia Hao was stripped of his official position and thrown into prison to await execution.

  Of course, all of this is after the fact.
