Chapter 97: Endless Idle Chatter

  Just as the two young boys and girls were calming down in the tunnel, Yu Luo had already drawn his sword and issued a signal to start action in the Flowing Gold City Lord's resplendent mansion.

  The people he brought were all in black and masked, with a number of over 100. After receiving Yu Luo's signal, they began to disperse and occupy some key points that are important for both offense and defense in an orderly manner.

  These people had been waiting in the underground tunnel beneath Mo Manor for a long time, and according to the previous instructions of Ye Hua, the leader of the Night God Sect, as long as Yu Luo arrived at their location, it meant that he had already completed the task assigned to him by Ye Hua. In this case, they would follow Yu Luo's command from then on, and enter Mo Manor through the tunnel exit, eliminating all of Liu Jin's forces within Liu Jin City.

  Yu Luo discovered that these people seemed to be very familiar with the Mo Manor environment. The words he previously told Luosi Qi in order to make it easier for her to enter the underground tunnels were actually true. He had participated throughout the process of selecting the ambush location for Luosi Qi, despite knowing that doing so was unforgivable to Luosi Qi who had helped him before. However, his boundless hatred towards Mo Yunfeng and Qing Er's parents, as well as towards Qing Er herself, made him disregard all of this. His only wish now was for those who had harmed him and betrayed him to die, and after completing all of this, he didn't want to live anymore either. The guilt in his heart towards Luosi Qi, he also wanted to use his own death to atone for it.

  It's clear that these Night Deity Cult followers waiting at the tunnel exit had all been to the Mo Manor before. This also completely confirmed the fact he knew earlier, that the City Lord of Flowing Gold City was actually a Night Deity Cult Guardian in charge of managing their finances.

  Yu Luo's men quickly clashed with the Mo estate guards, starting in a small area but expanding as more black-clad figures joined the fight. Clearly, these reinforcements were elite members of the Night God's 97th chapter, and the Mo estate guards' casualties mounted while Yu Luo was protected by them as they pushed towards the Flowing Gold City lord's residence.

  The lord of the Flowing Gold City is called Mo Feng, a name that can be easily misunderstood as "don't go crazy". Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any grudges between Yu Luo and Mo Feng, but to capture the bandits, one must first capture the king. To completely control the Mo Manor or even the entire Flowing Gold City, it's impossible without taking him down first.

  Just as Yu Luo led his men to kill Mo Feng's residence, Luosi Qi and Tang Xiao Xia leaned on each other for a while in the underground passage before starting to discuss their next move.

  According to Tang Xiaxia's intention, since they had already reached a peace agreement with Mo Ye, the two of them should now immediately return by the same route from which they came, exit through the entrance outside the city, and then return to their military camp to rest and wait for Mo Ye to disperse the poisonous fog the next day as promised, allowing Wei Li and his army to leave. At that time, Luo Siqi would go to represent King Chu in issuing orders to Wei Li. Once Wei Li led his troops onto the road to reinforce Tian Yu in Chengfu, the two of them could leave this troublesome place and sever their relationship with the always-troublesome Chu State, making good plans for their future together.

  But Luo Xi had a different idea, her heart was now thinking of Qing Er. Yu Luo, in order to take revenge on Mo Yunfeng, even sacrificed herself to gain the support of the Night God Sect, and at the end of the underground passage, which is the Mo Mansion, there must be intense fighting going on, she didn't know how many people would die tonight because of Yu Luo's hatred. She didn't know why Mo Ye agreed to let Yu Luo lead her into a trap by sending someone to kill the son of the protector of her own sect.

  And Yu Luo's actions this time made it difficult for the lord of Liujin City to sit back and watch his son being killed, which meant an even more intense battle. She glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and thought: "Perhaps under Yu Luo's guidance, tonight's Mo Manor will become the second Hei Feng Zhai!"

  Luosi thinks that Yu Luo's betrayal of her for the sake of his own revenge is something she can't forgive. However, from his perspective, perhaps betraying her would be better for him to achieve his revenge. What about Qing'er? Yu Luo believes that Qing'er betrayed his feelings, succumbed to her parents, and willingly abandoned him to stay with Mo Yunfeng, which is unforgivable. But Qing'er was raised by her parents after all, and in a certain sense, especially in this ancient era just entering civilization, Qing'er didn't entirely belong to herself. She gave up Yu Luo's feelings for the sake of her parents; maybe it was unfair to Yu Luo, but what she did can't be said to be a huge mistake that is unforgivable.

  She didn't know if Yu Luo succeeded, whether he would also kill Qing Er, but although she sympathized with Yu Luo, Qing Er was not innocent to her either.

  She even felt that Yu Luo couldn't be with Qing Er, maybe not because Qing Er's feelings for him were unsteady. This might be unacceptable to Yu Luo in this era, but what about in the era when Luosi Qi lived, where material factors greatly motivated people? How many loving couples didn't also split up due to external factors beyond their emotions?

  It's hard to say that Yu Luo's choice of revenge was wrong, perhaps the hatred of losing a wife is something that no man can bear, but must Qing Er be wrong too? Is it really right for her to abandon her parents and follow Yu Luo away?

  So she still wants to head in the direction of Mo's residence, thinking that even if she can't change anything, she should be able to protect herself with her abilities. She wants to stop Yu Luo when he kills the person he loves, and thinks that since they really can't be together, it just means they don't have fate in this life; why make the person you like unhappy and die by your own hand?

  Luosi told Tang Xiaoxia roughly what Yu Luo had said to her before, and also expressed her idea of going to Mo Fu to take a look.

  Tang Xiaxia smiled helplessly and said to her with a very depressed expression: "I'm telling you, Luosiqi, go! Go! I'll die from your curiosity sooner or later!"

  Tang Xiaoxia didn't oppose her this time, which made Luosi really happy. She gave him a sweet smile and said: "Dear, you're so good!" Tang Xiaoxia was taken aback, then pushed her forward and said: "Let's go! Let's go! I give up on you!" The two of them walked in the direction where Yu Luo had disappeared earlier, with Tang Xiaoxia holding a torch.

  This road is neither long nor short, fortunately before reaching the end there are no forks in the road, otherwise two people would not know how much longer they would have to walk.

  When the two of them reached the end of the passage, the exit was surprisingly open. However, what made Luosiqi feel extremely strange was that she had already arrived at the stairs leading to the upper exit, yet she hadn't heard any sounds of fighting from within the Mo Manor.

  "Has the battle already ended?" Loshkie and Tang Xiaoxia exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.

  The lord of the Golden Castle, Luo Siqi, had been here once before. This place was not only particularly large, but also divided into many areas by walls, and there should be hundreds of guards inside. Even if Mo Ye provided Yu Luo with a lot of elite helpers, it would still be difficult to help Yu Luo complete his revenge and kill everyone in the castle in such a short time!

  Eager to know the reason for all this, she led the way out of the tunnel and looked around. She soon discovered signs of a fight and evidence of where Yu Luo's men had gone.

  The evidence was actually easy to find, and Luosi only needed to see the corpses of the guards in the Mo mansion to know which direction Yu Luo and his men had gone.

  Luosiqi and Tang Xiaxia slowly approached the residence of Mo Feng, the lord of Liujin City, while looking at the corpses. It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place in the courtyard of Mo Feng's residence. At this time, the front door of Mo Feng's house was already open, and the inside was brightly lit. Luosiqi could see that there were many black-clad men standing in the large courtyard, and even on the walls, and some had already occupied the roof of Mo Feng's residence.

  Those black-clad men saw Luosi and Tang Xiaoxia approaching the courtyard, and they slightly **ed up. The four black-clad men guarding the gate had already drawn their knives in unison. Tang Xiaoxia also quickly drew out his Lingyun Sword, startling Luosi to hastily use her body to block Tang Xiaoxia and retreat a few steps together.

  She didn't want Tang Xiaoxia to fight those four men in black, according to her judgment they were obviously members of the Night God Sect, and they were here to assist Yu Luo in taking revenge. She didn't let Tang Xiaoxia take action for now because she wanted to find a way to get them to let her and Tang Xiaoxia into Mo Feng's house to see what was going on. She even thought that there might not be further conflict between the two sides, possibly because Mo Feng himself was a protector of the Night God Sect, and this time the people from the Ink Night faction were helping outsiders deal with his protector, which was somewhat ridiculous from a moral standpoint. Maybe they were negotiating now, maybe Mo Feng would yield to the pressure from the Ink Night faction and let his son give up Qing'er and return her to Yu Luo, so tonight's bloody incident might not escalate further.

  Of course, she didn't want Tang Xiaoxia to fight them for another reason - she was afraid that once Tang Xiaoxia started fighting, he would get excited and lose control of his body again, going on a rampage. Even if Yu Luo was willing to concede, and didn't want to slaughter everyone in the Mo Manor tonight, if Tang Xiaoxia lost control, then tonight's Mo Manor would become another Black Wind Fortress!

  However, the four black-clad men who had drawn their knives did not want to give up. One of them directly drew his knife and slashed at Luosiqi. Except for one person who continued to guard the door and prevent Luosiqi and Tang Xiaoxia from rushing in easily, the remaining two people had already taken out their weapons and were attacking Luosiqi from both sides.
