Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 918 15

He spoke, his sinister gaze falling on Meng Qianqian's face. "Now, make your choice! Will the two of you die, or will everyone else join you and your sister in the grave?"

Tan'er put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You damn old bastard!"

The Grand Priest said to the Medicine King, "If you still want to leave here alive, join me in draining their blood. And you."

He looked at Ayimulan, "If you want to become the ruler of the Western Regions, don't worry about a mere facade!"

Meng Lang: "This old man is truly mad..."

Lu Yuan quickly shielded Meng Qianqian and Tan'er behind him.

Chen Long drew his sword and attacked the High Priest, striking first.

Meng Lang's face darkened as he and Yu Zichuan charged toward the disciples of the Holy Temple.

Shan Cheng's figure flickered.

Si Snake blocked him.

The Medicine King and the High Priest were immensely powerful, too much for one person to handle.

Lu Yuan said, "Ji Li, it's up to you. If you can't calculate the Life Gate, don't act like a fortune teller again!"

Ji Li held the Compass, sweat beading on his forehead.

Lu Yuan turned to Yun Xiyao and said, "Master, take them away."

Yun Xiyao: "Alright."

She captured Tan'er by the waist and carried her off.

Tan'er struggled, "I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving! I want to kill that old bastard!"

"This way!"

Ji Li's Compass moved.

Meng Qianqian glanced back at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said, "Be good, wait for me outside."

Meng Qianqian nodded calmly, "Ji Li and I will find the exit."

"I've figured it out, I've figured it out! It's to the east!"

Ji Li shouted excitedly.

Yun Xiyao urged, "Hurry, follow me!"

They turned into a long secret passage.

However, after only a few steps, a whip suddenly lashed out from behind, wrapping around Tan'er.

Meng Qianqian and Yun Xiyao turned back abruptly to see it was Ayimulan, veiled.

She was choking Tan'er's neck, looking icily at Meng Qianqian.

Tan'er was gasping for air.

Meng Qianqian spoke seriously, "Don't let me despise you, Ayimulan."

Ayimulan haughtily said, "Victory for kings and defeat for bandits. I can even sacrifice my son's life, let alone a little girl who has nothing to do with me? Let them go first; this is a duel between you and me."

Yun Xiyao: "Don't fall for her trap."

Meng Qianqian: "I promise you."

Yun Xiyao: "Qianqian!"

Ji Li: "Hey! You old witch, if you have the guts, come at us, bullying a child is nothing!"

Ayimulan said softly, "I'll count to three, one!"

"Step back, everyone."

Meng Qianqian said.

Yun Xiyao hesitated, then told Ji Li, "Go."

Ji Li gritted his teeth.

Meng Qianqian walked step by step to Ayimulan, "Let her go."

Ayimulan swept the whip around Meng Qianqian's arm, dragging her into the secret chamber behind her, pushing Tan'er into Yun Xiyao's arms at the same time.

She spared Tan'er, knowing that with another martial arts-skilled little girl, Meng Qianqian would have an even greater chance.

She wasn't that stupid.

The stone door closed.

Tan'er was so angry she punched the wall, "Old witch! Let go of my sister!"

On the other side of the stone wall, Ayimulan coldly stared at Meng Qianqian, "You've got some bravery; I underestimated you before."

Meng Qianqian: "You still underestimate me now."

Ayimulan said, "I never expected you to be the one from the prophecy."

Meng Qianqian: "Honestly, neither did I."

Ayimulan coldly pulled at the corners of her lips, "I never expected you to be Shang Jiu."

Meng Qianqian calmly said, "You found out too late."

Ayimulan didn't continue, instead shifting the topic, "Are you satisfied with the hairpin I gave you?"

Meng Qianqian gave her a suspicious look.

Ayimulan smiled, "You didn't truly believe there was a Shang family hostage, did you?"

Meng Qianqian's expression turned grave, "What do you mean?"

Ayimulan said slowly, "I concocted a grand lie that deceived Yucheng Building, the Loulan King, and almost even myself."

Meng Qianqian clenched her fingers tightly.

Ayimulan: "Your father is dead, your mother is gone too, Shang Jiu, even if you're alive, what use is it? You'll never see them again."

"They were killed by you; you're the one the Loulan King wanted to eliminate."

"Shang Jiu, you carry the burden of more than a hundred lives of the Shang family, tell me, do you feel guilty living? How does it feel to keep living in disgrace?"

Meng Qianqian gazed at her unwaveringly.

After a moment, her clenched fist slowly relaxed.

"Ayimulan, if you think you can defeat me like this, you're gravely mistaken."

"The ones burdened with the lives of more than a hundred of the Shang family are you executioners; I will personally execute you all and avenge the blood of my Shang family!"

"It is you who should atone!"

Ayimulan's pupils shrank!

Meng Qianqian said with determination, "Even if you deceived me, even if I'll never see my parents again, I'll live well, carrying my parents' expectations and the hopes of my family, and continue to live well!"

Ayimulan's heart was overwhelmed with immense shock.

In that moment, Meng Qianqian stood so powerful that she couldn't bear to look directly.

"Did you think you could enrage me into Deviation?"

"Ayimulan, this step of yours was a big mistake!"

After saying this, Meng Qianqian suddenly advanced toward her.

She moved with unbelievable speed, filled with the power of revenge.

Before Ayimulan realized it, Meng Qianqian's hand had pierced through her chest.

She opened her eyes wide.

Meng Qianqian whispered indifferently in her ear, "See, killing you is so simple."

"Is that so?"

Ayimulan scoffed mockingly.

Her dagger plunged into Meng Qianqian's abdomen.

Meng Qianqian: "Take a closer look?"

Ayimulan looked down, her smile frozen on her face.

Her dagger was somehow only left with the handle.

She didn't hesitate to bear injuries just to kill Meng Qianqian with her.

But in the end—

"You..."

"How did I do it?"

Meng Qianqian grinned and whispered in her ear, "I won't tell you. Ayimulan, I won't kill you; I want you to see clearly that everything you painstakingly built was something I could easily grasp."

The ultimate psychological blow!

Ayimulan suddenly coughed up blood.

Meng Qianqian withdrew her hand and slowly wiped the blood from her silver thread gloves with a handkerchief, not giving Ayimulan another glance, she turned and left.

Ayimulan laughed and spoke, "Do you think you can leave... do you think you really won?"

Meng Qianqian's fingers had just pressed a mechanism.

With a rumble, the stone door opened.

Before Meng Qianqian could step out, Ji Li was stepping back inside, holding the Compass.

Meng Qianqian asked, "Ji Li, what's wrong?"

Ji Li stared ahead as if he had seen something very strange, "I saw a ghost, it's broad daylight and I saw a ghost..."

Meng Qianqian's gaze followed his and fixed on the sight.

At the end of the dim passage, a man in Silver Armor stood against the light.

His helmet and Red Tassel Spear shone brightly under the glow of the Luminous Pearl.
