Chapter 82: Seeing the world with indifference in the mortal realm (Part 2)

Arrows rained down like rain, shooting towards Si Cang Qing and Cheng TianBi.

Si Cang Qing swung the silver thread in his hand violently. It was several feet long. Driven by his deep internal 

strength, the silver thread danced with powerful sword energy and blocked countless arrows.

But after all, the other side had too many people, and many of them were shooting directly at the two of them. 

Si Cang Qing was not in a hurry at all. He held Cheng TianBi in one hand and twirled silver threads with 

the other hand. He used light skills with his feet, trying to break out of the encirclement.

At this moment, dozens of masked men in black broke into the fight. They protected Si Cang Qing and the other 

man. One of them said in a deep voice, "You two gentlemen, go ahead. Leave this to us!"

He quickly glanced at the group of men in black, and saw that they were all very skilled in martial arts. 

Si Cang Qing understood immediately - they must be Fengying's people. It seemed that Cheng TianYang had 

already ordered them to come to the rescue in time.

Si Cang Qing didn't think any more and flew southwest with Cheng TianBi in his arms. His hands were not 

idle at all, waving the silver thread from time to time to block the arrows that broke through the air.

The whistling sound in my ears gradually stopped. Cheng TianBi tightly grasped the clothes on Si Cang Qing's 

chest, his eyes were hazy, and he looked over his shoulder, looking at the sacrificial palace that was getting 

farther and farther away in the night, until he could no longer see it.

Anger, sadness, anxiety, Cheng TianBi experienced all these intense emotions one by one that night. At this 

moment, they were flying on the roof of Hongcheng Palace. The previous chaos disappeared in an instant, 

and there was silence all around...

It should be safe now. As soon as this thought came to his mind, Cheng TianBi collapsed into Si Cang Qing's 

arms, trying hard to resist the strong feeling of dizziness.

However, before he could feel relieved, he felt Si Cang Qing's movements suddenly paused.

"Royal Brother, you really can't wait to leave here!"

Cheng TianBi turned his head stiffly. They were almost about to escape from the palace - but they didn't know 

that Cheng TianYi had arrived here to guard them when they were trapped by the archers. Going in this direction 

is too obvious, but it is the route that can leave the palace in the shortest time.

Just looking at the momentum tonight, it is not difficult to imagine that no matter which route out of the palace, 

it must be full of ambushes.

Unwilling to look at Cheng TianYi standing on the top of the tall building opposite, Cheng TianBi loosened 

his fingers, raised his hand to touch Si Cang Qing's face, and said softly: "Qing, please."

So I closed my eyes and stopped looking and thinking.

He shouldn't have tried to persuade a crazy person like Cheng TianYi. If he wanted to keep himself, he would 

not watch the emperor of the enemy country leave peacefully.

He shouldn't have acted on his own for his own selfish reasons and cost the lives of so many people. But now 

that things have come to this, there is no point in reminiscing. All I can do is escape from here with all 

my might.

All he could do was to prevent Si Cang Qing from paying any more attention to him.

Leave everything to Si Cang Qing, whether life or death.

The chaotic thoughts actually only lasted for a moment. As soon as Cheng TianBi was speaking, 

Si Cang Qing had already swung the silver thread in his hand towards Cheng TianYi who was standing 

opposite him.

Cheng TianYi dodged the sharp sword energy and landed lightly on the ground in the distance.

Si Cang Qing was not interested in fighting and flew quickly towards the tall palace wall not far away. But at 

this moment, on the top of the palace wall, under the palace wall, and even outside the palace wall, there 

were layers of soldiers gathered, holding crossbows in their hands, and hundreds of arrows were shot over 

in an instant.

The power of a crossbow is much greater than that of an ordinary bow.

Arrows coming from all directions make it hard to defend against.

Along the way, they were besieged and then broke through, then besieged again and broke through, and even 

Si Cang Qing gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

Fighting one against a hundred has always been just a myth; let alone the fact that there are more than just 

hundreds of thousands of people besieging tonight! I can't delay this any longer...

Si Cang Qing's eyes were cold, and he mobilized all his strength. His arms quickly raised or swung down 

silver threads, and wherever the Liuhua sword energy went, there was a bloody scene.

Blood was flying in the air.

In fact, Si Cang Qing seldom uses his full strength. He used to do so because he was worried that 

Cheng TianBi would not be able to withstand such a bloody massacre - after all, this man was originally 

from Hongcheng.

Now, there is nothing to worry about.

A horrific massacre took place on this dark and windy night.

Feeling the still warm liquid splashing on his face, Cheng TianBi closed his eyes tightly and refused to open 

them - from now on, the Cheng TianBi of the past was completely dead.

Inside this body is a sinful soul.

Even so...

My dear, I know that you are in this predicament because of me.

So, why should I go against your wishes? Let us go together, even if we have to step on the corpses of others, 

even if they were once my people.

Kill him! Kill him! All the sins are borne by me - this ocean-like blood debt must be repaid sooner or later, so 

let my fallen soul never be reincarnated!

Cheng TianYi watched from afar. He had underestimated Si Cang Qing after all. Even with such a tight net, 

he was able to escape with the powerless Cheng TianBi...

Si Cang Qing, like a world-destroying Shura seeking his life, moved his body ghostly, holding Cheng TianBi 

in one hand and dancing with an invisible sword energy in the other. Wherever the sword energy went, everyone 

was torn into pieces.

On the ground, the scarlet blood thickened and slowly flowed in all directions.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

"Your Highness!" Several soldiers beside Cheng TianYi knelt down and begged, "Please, let them go!"

That young man covered in blood is not a human being at all! However, we cannot sacrifice the lives of so 

many elite soldiers just for two people!

Cheng TianYi withdrew his gaze woodenly and said calmly, "Let the crossbowmen in the west building take 

action!"

Si Cang Qing quickly turned around and raised his hand to turn dozens of consecutive arrows into ashes, but 

at the same time, he staggered and almost fell from the high wall...

"Qing!" Cheng TianBi finally opened his eyes and was shocked to see several cold darts deeply piercing 

Si Cang Qing's shoulders.

Si Cang Qing steadied himself and casually waved away the other cold darts that were flying towards him - 

the desperate fight just now had consumed too much of his physical strength. He only dodged the arrows 

from the side, but was not prepared for the dense cold darts shot from behind.

Seriously injured, now…

Si Cang Qing suddenly flew in the opposite direction, catching the blocking imperial guards off guard. 

Holding on to his last bit of strength, Si Cang Qing carried Cheng TianBi into a palace nearby.

"Qing!" Cheng TianBi landed on the ground with both feet, stretched out his hands to catch Si Cang Qing 

who had fallen down in an instant, hugged him tightly, and looked at the dozens of imperial guards who 

suddenly appeared with vigilance...

"Young Master, please hand the master over to me. Let's leave here immediately!"

Cheng TianBi was stunned for a moment, staring at the group of people cautiously, and said in a cold voice, 

"What do you mean?"

The leader explained in a deep and urgent voice, "We are the secret agents planted by the master in 

the Hongcheng Palace. We don't have time to explain now. Sir, we have to leave here immediately..."

Before I had time to think deeply, I heard chaotic footsteps outside the hall.

"Young Master, let's go!" The man who spoke before immediately picked up the unconscious Si Cang Qing 

and led Cheng TianBi towards the inner room of the palace.

A secret door was opened, and Cheng TianBi followed the man in. It was a small dark room, with a few 

pieces of furniture faintly visible in the darkness.

The dim yellow oil lamp was lit.

"Young Master, it's safe here for the time being, you can stay here without worry," the man said expressionlessly. 

Si Cang Qing had been placed on the narrow bed. With his back facing up, the shoulder with four cold darts 

stuck in it was extremely frightening and heartbreaking to see.

"The master has left it to you. There is some simple medicine for wounds in the cabinet."

It seems that this person knows Cheng TianBi very well. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around 

and left without waiting for Cheng TianBi's response.

"Where are you going?" Cheng TianBi stroked Si Cang Qing's shoulder with trembling hands, staring at 

the man without relaxing his eyes - he was now desperate, but that didn't mean he completely trusted this 

person.

The man replied calmly: "I am now the deputy commander of the Hongcheng Imperial Guards. If I leave 

for too long, I will arouse suspicion!"

"Since he is your subordinate, why..." Cheng TianBi suddenly stopped talking, thinking that Si Cang Qing 

did not give the order! This person will never rely on others for help unless it is absolutely necessary, even if 

they are his own subordinates.

It's just that Si Cang Qing had already made thorough plans, so he initially headed this way not only because 

it was the shortest route out of the palace, but also because there was a backup escape route just in case.

The person about to leave turned back to look at Cheng TianBi, who was trying hard to steady his emotions, 

and added, "The master will be fine, young master, don't worry." The words carried an inherent and complete 

trust.

Immediately, the man strode out of the dark room.

Cheng TianBi unconsciously nodded, worry, guilt, and heartache tangled in his heart, pushing aside the previous 

despair, decadence, and sadness to the corners.

In my eyes, in my heart, there is only this person now.

Taking a deep breath to calm the surging emotions within, Cheng TianBi extended his hand, suppressing 

the tremor, and tore open Si Cang Qing's clothes. The wound from the cold dart was congealed with dark 

purple blood, an exceptionally chilling sight.

Cheng TianBi's eyes heated up, enduring the twisting pain in his heart. After taking a few deep breaths, 

he picked up the prepared dagger and held it over the flame to heat it. Cheng TianBi understood better 

than anyone the hidden weapons used by the Hongcheng royal family's shadow guards. To remove these 

poisoned darts, the only way was to dig them out with a knife.

"Qing," Cheng TianBi whispered painfully, as if to comfort, yet also to muster courage, "Hang in there..."

The slightly red-hot blade quickly cut into Si Cang Qing's wound. All that was heard was a muffled groan in 

the narrow dark room.

Forcing himself to be ruthless, Cheng TianBi quickly cut out several poison darts.

Blood was gushing out from Si Cang Qing's back, and the wound was horrifying. But, apart from the initial 

groan, Si Cang Qing did not make any other sound.

After quickly using medicine to stop the bleeding from the wound, Cheng TianBi then picked up a clean 

cloth and wiped the blood off Si Cang Qing's body bit by bit, and then carefully bandaged the wound on his 

shoulder.

Cheng TianBi leaned against the bed, panting, with cold sweat on his forehead - after several hours of hard 

work, he still hadn't cleaned up everything. Si Cang Qing had completely fallen asleep at this time, but his 

furrowed brows and pale face showed how uncomfortable he was at the moment.

There were torn and bloody clothes lying on the ground, and Si Cang Qing was lying naked on the bed. 

Cheng TianBi didn't rest for long before continuing his previous job - wiping Si Cang Qing's body.

This dark room is simple and small, but it has everything you need.

Heartbroken, but also slightly relieved, Cheng TianBi was grateful for the first time that he possessed remarkable 

medical skills. Even more fortunate was that Si Cang Qing had an extraordinary constitution; otherwise, 

the poison on that poisoned dart...

After quite a while, Cheng TianYang wiped Sī Cāng Qīng's entire body clean.

However, he was almost at his limit, the dizziness growing stronger—he truly hated his current self, weak 

and incompetent. If it weren't for him, Si Cang Qing would never have suffered such harm...

It seemed that with the last bit of strength, he pulled the thin blanket over Si Cang Qing's body, carefully 

avoiding his shoulder. Afterwards, Cheng TianBi felt a wave of dizziness, and the hand holding the corner of 

the blanket suddenly slipped away.
