Chapter 145 We met in the sky

Just as the arrow was about to strike Su Huaiqi, a silver light suddenly flew out from the other side, striking the arrow with perfect accuracy. With a loud "clang," sparks flew everywhere, and the arrow was forcefully knocked away, embedding itself crookedly in the ground beside it.

Everyone was startled, their gazes quickly shifting to the direction from which the silver light had come. A figure flashed through the air and landed beside Su Huaiqi.

"Oh, so it's your young lover who's come to rescue people. I'm afraid you're a step too late," Yunxiao Han said sarcastically upon recognizing the newcomer.

Seeing this, the man in black slightly curled the corners of his mouth, looked at Yu Zechuan who had suddenly appeared next to Su Huaiqi, and quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow again.

"Whizzing."

Two sharp arrows pierced the sky one after another, flying swiftly toward Yu Zechuan.

With two clangs, Yu Zechuan easily intercepted the two arrows with a swing of his longsword.

"What are you all standing there for? Fire your arrows! I want to see how he can fight four hands with his bare fists," Yun Xiaohan urged, seeing the other men in black still standing straight to the side.

When the archer Wu Chuan heard Yun Xiaohan's request, he frowned slightly, but remembering his master's instructions when he returned, he could only nod subtly to the other men in black. Only then did the other men in black simultaneously raise their longbows at Yu Zechuan.

Yu Zechuan's face was covered with frost, and his eyes revealed endless anger and killing intent. He ignored Yun Xiaohan's clamor and paid no attention to the arrow that was already aimed at him. Instead, he walked quickly to Su Huaiqi's side, squatted down, carefully pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Wake up, Qiqi, I've come to take you home."

While unconscious, Su Huaiqi only felt a lot of noise around her, and then she seemed to hear Yu Zechuan's voice. She tried to open her eyes and was in disbelief when she saw Yu Zechuan.

"Oh no, how did I end up with A-Yu? Am I dead? Could it be that A-Yu is dead too, and we met in heaven?"

Yu Zechuan was initially a little sad, but upon hearing Su Huaiqi's mutterings, a doting smile appeared on his lips: "I'm not dead yet, and you're already cursing me. Do you really want to meet me in heaven?"

Su Huaiqi leaned against Yu Zechuan's chest and smiled weakly: "It hurt too much, I was afraid that you were just a hallucination of mine."

Yu Zechuan gently stroked her hair: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Why did you come back again? Why didn't you obediently wait for me at the foot of the mountain?" Su Huaiqi struggled to stand up, leaned against Yu Zechuan, and asked in a low voice.

Yu Zechuan patted her shoulder to reassure her. "Alliance Leader Xie is outside, don't worry. Uncle Chen and the others have also been rescued. Now we're just waiting for you."

Su Huaiqi looked up at Yu Zechuan in surprise, but with Yun Hailong and the others nearby, he could only ask vaguely, "What? What happened to Uncle Chen and the others?"

"You should worry about yourself first. Look at your face now, it's as white as paper." Yu Zechuan could feel Su Huaiqi trembling slightly in his arms, and he felt very sorry for her. "You made me wait for you at the foot of the mountain. If I hadn't shown up just now, it's hard to say whether I could have waited for you at the foot of the mountain."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Su Huaiqi stuck out his tongue and quickly changed the subject. Looking around, he was so frightened he almost screamed.

"Ayu! Ayu! We're under attack!"

"It's alright, I'm here, and Alliance Leader Xie and the others will be here soon." Yu Zechuan shielded Su Huaiqi behind him, looking fearlessly at Yun Hailong and Wu Chuan.

Su Huaiqi looked around, hoping to find a place to hide, but there wasn't even a large rock around. It was truly "heaven is going to kill me." He couldn't help but put his palms together in front of his chest and mutter incantations.

"Thank you, Master Xie! Thank you, Alliance Leader! Please come quickly! If you don't come soon, A-Yu and I will turn into hedgehogs!"

"Now you're thinking of burning incense and praying to Buddha to save you? Don't you think it's a bit too late?" Yun Xiaohan looked down at Su Huaiqi's actions with a mocking sneer on his face. His voice was sharp and smug, as if he had victory in his grasp.

"Hmph, it's never too late to ask the Bodhisattva to take away a rotten person like you." Su Huaiqi's face was pale, and large beads of sweat slid down her cheeks. Although the pain in her body came in waves, almost swallowing her will, she still stubbornly straightened her spine and retorted without showing any weakness, her eyes full of unyielding light.

"You sharp tongue, let's see how long you can hold out. Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Shoot them all dead!" Yun Xiaohan was completely enraged by Su Huaiqi's words. His expression twisted instantly, and his features almost shrank into a ball.

"Tsk, so ugly." Su Huaiqi silently shifted her gaze, looking at Yun Xiaohan's almost manic appearance, and thought to herself: I haven't even used my full strength to curse him yet, how come this guy couldn't hold back and broke down? It seems that his mental strength is nothing special, really vulnerable.

Wu Chuan slightly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the sky like cold stars, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. But the arrow was already on the bowstring, the situation was urgent, and he could not hesitate for a moment. He could only open his thin lips and coldly utter a single word: "Release."

A dense rain of arrows flew towards Su Huaiqi and Yu Zechuan. Su Huaiqi habitually reached down to touch her lower back, only to realize that the short knife Yu Zechuan had given her had been accidentally lost in the earlier chaos.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly looked at Yu Zechuan, only to see him standing motionless like a statue, even the long sword in his hand resting casually to the side, showing no sign of retaliating.

"???"

"What's going on?" Su Huaiqi blinked in confusion, a multitude of thoughts flashing through her mind.

Are you planning to give up and die first?

Just as Su Huaiqi was making wild guesses, several unfamiliar figures darted out from behind them like ghosts. These people were agile and nimble, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of Yu Zechuan. Then, the shields in their hands quickly crossed and joined together, and in the blink of an eye, an airtight protective shield was erected, firmly protecting Yu Zechuan and Su Huaiqi inside.

Oh? They've been rescued?

Su Huaiqi's eyes widened in surprise and joy, but who were these people?

The arrows struck the shields with muffled thuds, sparks flying. Su Huaiqi peered through the gaps in the shields, observing the situation outside, then glanced at the people protecting them. She couldn't help but tug at Yu Zechuan's sleeve and whisper, "Yu, who are these people?"

"Don't be afraid of your own people, they are all disciples of Wutong Manor." Yu Zechuan gave Su Huaiqi a reassuring look.

Just then, Yun Xiaohan's furious voice came from outside: "Who are you people? How dare you ruin my plans! If you don't get out of the way today, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Young Master, you have quite the nerve. I'd like to see how Weiyu Tower intends to be impolite." Xie Zhi walked out of a cave to the side, followed not only by disciples of the Five Mountains Alliance but also by many familiar figures.

"Alliance Leader Xie? What a rare guest! May I ask what brings you here, Alliance Leader Xie?" Yun Hailong was not surprised to see Xie Zhi appear. He had realized he might meet Xie Zhi when he saw Chen Kangnian and the others.

"I wouldn't call it guidance, but since Lord Yun imprisoned my people without cause, I'd like to demand an explanation." Xie Zhi was already tall and had a resolute face, but now his gloomy expression and cold eyes made him look at Yun Hailong with an even more intimidating air.

Yun Hailong certainly couldn't use the grand formation as an excuse. Seeing that Chen Kangnian and the others had been rescued and there were no hostages left, he could only force a smile, appearing calm on the surface while inwardly groaning. While quickly calculating a countermeasure in his mind, he replied with a forced smile, "Alliance Leader Xie, what are you talking about? My Weiyu Tower has always kept to itself and the Five Mountains Alliance. How could we imprison your people? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Xie Zhi snorted coldly, took a step forward, and the oppressive aura emanating from him grew even stronger. "Then I'd like to ask, why didn't the people who were supposed to be sightseeing return on time, but instead were guarded by your disciples with swords?"

Yun Hailong's heart tightened, and his gaze swept over Chen Kangnian and the others. He quickly calmed down and argued, "Recently, there have been several incidents of wild animals injuring people on Qingri Peak. To ensure the safety of the people, my disciples patrol Qingri Peak every day. When they encounter tourists, they only conduct routine inquiries. Who would have thought that they would offend the people of the Five Mountains Alliance? It is truly a sin."

"Routine interrogation?" Xie Zhi's eyes were full of sarcasm. "Then the guards are certainly being 'interrogated' thoroughly."

Yun Hailong pondered to himself that if the matter continued to escalate, given Xie Zhi's temper, a major battle was inevitable. Although Weiyu Tower was not afraid of the Five Mountains Alliance, they needed to find a way into the stone gate as soon as possible and should not confront the Five Mountains Alliance directly. With this in mind, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Since it is a misunderstanding, Weiyu Tower is willing to give the Five Mountains Alliance an explanation. This matter was due to my lack of thorough consideration, and the disciples' actions also need improvement. I will strengthen the supervision of the disciples."

He then bowed to Xie Zhi and said, "Alliance Leader, this was indeed an oversight on the part of Weiyu Tower. I hope you will forgive me. I wonder if Mr. Chen and the others are injured, and if I should invite some doctors to come and diagnose them?"

Xie Zhi narrowed his eyes, sizing up Yun Hailong. He knew that although he had suppressed Yun Hailong with his aura, it was best to end this matter as soon as possible. He turned to look at Chen Kangnian and the others, and seeing that they were unharmed, he said in a deep voice, "Let's let it go for now, considering that Master Yun is willing to admit his mistake."

Yun Hailong's face was full of smiles as he repeatedly said, "Of course, of course. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Seeing his father's submissive demeanor, and then glancing at Wu Chuan and the others who remained silent, Yun Xiaohan snorted coldly at Wu Chuan and followed Yun Hailong away.

Wu Chuan couldn't understand why Yun Xiaohan was throwing a tantrum at him, so he hesitated for a few moments, first glancing at Xie Zhi, then at Yu Zechuan and Su Huaiqi who were being protected, before finally leaving the cave.

After the arrow rain subsided and the crisis was over, the disciples of Wutong Manor immediately removed the shields and returned to their original positions.

"Thank you, hero!" Su Huaiqi's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the familiar figure, his excitement overflowing. Especially when he saw Chen Kangnian and the others behind Xie Zhi, he couldn't contain his excitement and subconsciously raised his hand to wave it forcefully. However, he didn't expect that the movement was too violent and aggravated his wound. His originally smiling face instantly crumpled up. "Ouch, my shoulder, it hurts so much."

She had intended to ask Yu Zechuan for help, hoping he could carry her there, but when she turned around, she was completely stunned. Yu Zechuan, who had seemed perfectly normal just moments before, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood without warning. This unexpected turn of events shocked Su Huaiqi, and before she could recover, Yu Zechuan's cough intensified, with blood continuously gushing from his mouth, more and more each time he coughed.

"Ah Yu... what's wrong?" Su Huaiqi was frantic with worry, ignoring her own pain, and rushed to Yu Zechuan's side. Her hands trembled as she hurriedly reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Yu Zechuan's mouth, her voice trembling with obvious sobs, filled with worry and anxiety. However, warm blood continued to trickle down her fingertips, dripping onto the ground with a "drip, drip," staining the dry ground with a shocking dark red bloodstain.

Seeing Su Huaiqi's anxious, almost tearful expression, Yu Zechuan felt a pang of heartache and instinctively wanted to comfort her, assuring her that he was alright. But as soon as he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably. Only then did he suddenly recall why Senior Lin had advised him to think twice before taking the medicine.
