Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 919 16

"Chu Nan."

Meng Qianqian called out this name.

Tan'er dashed into the secret chamber, "Sister, Master Xiyao is missing! There are all kinds of strange mechanisms inside here!"

Halfway through speaking, she glanced at Meng Qianqian's hand, "Sister! You're bleeding in reverse!"

Meng Qianqian said softly, "It's not my blood."

At the mention of mechanisms, she couldn't help but think of the underground palace of Liang Country, whose secret passages built by the High Priest were remarkably similar.

Tan'er looked at Ayimulan propped with one hand in the pool of blood, her expression relaxed slightly while her little brow furrowed tightly: "Let her be, sister! I'll kill her!"

Meng Qianqian held her back, "Ignore her, let her see her own fate for herself."

Ayimulan clutched her bleeding chest, laughing weakly yet maniacally, "Which one of us will meet our end first, I wonder?"

As she spoke, her meaningful gaze swept past the outside of the secret chamber, to that chilling silhouette.

"Hmph!"

Tan'er glared at her fiercely, and following her gaze, she saw the man clad in silver armor, holding a Red Tassel Spear. She quietly asked Meng Qianqian, "Sister, is he Chu Nan, Grand Marshal of the Black Armor Army and the Twelve Guards?"

"Impossible... I don't believe it..."

Ji Li looked at the Compass in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the Compass shattered with a bang.

Ji Li spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He clutched his heart, looking at the other with a complex expression, "That night at the Ministry of Justice, was it you who persuaded Hai Pig? Who are you exactly? Why impersonate the Grand Marshal?"

Seeing no response from the other, he raised his voice, "Answer me! Speak up!"

"If you don't speak, I'll be rude!"

"You leave me no choice!"

"I will not allow anyone to impersonate the Grand Marshal!"

"You are unworthy of his armor!"

Ji Li sank his qi into his abdomen, channeling Inner Strength, and fiercely punched towards the other's Life Gate.

"He is Chu Nan."

Meng Qianqian spoke.

Ji Li's movement technique halted, his fist stopping just before the other's forehead.

Bang!

The opponent sent Ji Li flying with a single palm strike.

Ji Li crashed heavily against the stone wall behind, fell to the ground in a mess, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Yet he didn't care about the injuries and pain of his body, his eyes reddened with shock.

"He really is the Grand Marshal... The Grand Marshal isn't dead... How could this be?"

Meng Qianqian said, "I don't know how to explain it to you either, much of it I only half understand."

"You're not surprised at all... You knew all along, didn't you?"

Ji Li's emotion was more solemn than ever.

Meng Qianqian didn't deny it.

Ji Li clenched his fists, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Tan'er put her hands on her hips, "Stop being so fierce! If we didn't tell you, there must be a reason! When the time is right, you'll naturally be told!"

Ji Li angrily said, "Time? What time? The time when the Grand Marshal would appear before me openly and honestly!"

During the argument, Chu Nan moved his Red Tassel Spear, thrusting straight at Meng Qianqian who was closest to him.

Meng Qianqian shook with one arm and deflected his Red Tassel Spear.

Ji Li hurriedly said, "Grand Marshal! She's one of us! She's the Second Yin Hu, Li Haiya's successor!"

As soon as he finished his words, Chu Nan's second move had already pressed towards Meng Qianqian.

Ji Li was stunned, "What's going on?"

Tan'er huffed, "Can't you see? He's being controlled!"

It wasn't that Ji Li couldn't see it, he just... didn't want to believe it.

The Grand Marshal he once regarded as a faith, appearing as a Puppet before him and becoming his enemy.

This was harder for him to accept than being unable to show off.

"You're breaking my heart!"

Tan'er no longer argued with Ji Li.

With Chu Nan's aggressive assault, and Meng Qianqian pregnant.

She immediately joined the fight.

Chu Nan's strength exceeded everyone's imagination.

Ji Li no longer dwelled on sorrow and shock, gritting his teeth, he charged towards Chu Nan.

After knocking Tan'er away, Chu Nan gave Ji Li another palm strike.

The two were sent flying together.

Meng Qianqian caught Tan'er, her gaze sharpened, and she flicked her sleeve to release three silver needles.

Chu Nan's acupuncture points were sealed.

Yet in the next instant, the silver needles on Chu Nan's body suddenly burst out.

As he was about to lose control again, Meng Qianqian grasped three more silver needles.

But this time, someone acted before her, throwing a packet of medicinal powder at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan's aura suddenly calmed, his body stiffened, and he closed his eyes.

Meng Qianqian looked at the newcomer, "Mao Tu."

Lan Yeyue cast a brief glance at Meng Qianqian.

No matter how charming and alluring she appeared to others, since tearing off the facade with Meng Qianqian, she was too lazy to pretend.

She raised her hand gently, removing Chu Nan's helmet, and wiped away the leftover powder under his eyes.

Ji Li, initially shocked by her sudden appearance, fell silent upon seeing that ruined face.
