When Yi Mu’er was smiling brightly, Yun Qi’s face changed dramatically, and he urgently shouted at her: “Dodge quickly!”
Yi Mu’er was puzzled and turned back, only to see a sharp arrow flying towards her! Yi Mu’er was terrified and instinctively leaned to the left, narrowly avoiding the arrow.
“Pull the reins!” Yi Mu’er recognized Yun Qi’s anxious voice. Seeing another arrow following, she hurriedly followed the instruction and pulled the reins hard.
A horse’s neigh was heard; it was Yi Mu’er’s timely rein-pulling that made the horse kick and naturally block the arrow.
“That was close!” Yi Mu’er was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the horse, having been struck by the arrow, went crazy and suddenly threw the unprepared Yi Mu’er off.
“Grab on!” Yun Qi pushed off from his horse’s back, flying towards Yi Mu’er, finally catching up at the critical moment and grabbing Yi Mu’er who was falling off the cliff. “Hold on tight, don’t let go!”
“Qi, watch out behind you!” Suddenly, dozens of figures leaped out from behind the rocky cliff, all wearing blood-red attire, rushing directly at Yi Mu’er.
Yun Qi noticed but couldn’t free his hands to save Yi Mu’er from falling off the cliff and could only try to dodge. But they were actually from the Heavenly Wolf Sect!
The Heavenly Wolf Sect had risen in the martial world for two or three years, becoming notorious for annexing small sects and killing for profit. Today’s assassination clearly indicated someone wanted Yun Qi dead.
Dozens of people lay dead under Yun Qi’s blade; only one survived, barely clinging to life.
“It seems your life is not yet over, so I’ll let you live three more days,” Yun Qi said, looking down at him with a blade stained red with blood. “Go back and tell the master of the Celestial Wolf Sect that three days from now, I, Yun Qi, will pay a visit, and that will be the day your Celestial Wolf Sect is destroyed!”
He wanted to avenge Mu’er. After five years of companionship, he couldn’t remain unmoved. Why did Mu’er give up so easily just when she was about to touch his heart?
“Okay…” The man dared not say another word, considering survival a blessing.
Ignoring his wounds, he ran back, desperate to escape from this demon who had killed dozens in an instant.
“Heavens, how many more people will you take from me!” Yun Qi paid no attention to the person crawling away, turning instead to face the mountain cliff, tilting his head back and shouting. Why did happiness always slip away just as he was about to grasp it…
