Chapter 468 – Desperate Situation

Night Singing Cold had spent nine cows and two tigers and had been pressed down for six whole hours before he was able to detach himself from the Burial Flower Chant in a sorry state. After he had vented in situ, but still not dying, he chased after them with all his might, and then like Yun Che, he entered this inexplicably appearing ancient castle under curiosity……. At this point in time, he had already basically given up hope that he would be able to find Feng Xue’er, and he didn’t expect that a huge surprise would just fall from the sky.

But now, a wall of stone doors, deadlocked his prey that was originally within reach. Even if he attacked with all his strength, his arm was in severe pain, but the stone door in front of him, not to mention being destroyed, didn’t even have a trace of damage, and its position didn’t appear to have shifted half a bit.

He hit the stone door with all his strength, but what came back was the feeling of an ant trying to shake a tree.

Night Singing Cold became furious, this feeling of a cooked duck suddenly flying away was undoubtedly unbearable to him to the extreme, he stared at the stone door, walking back and forth, trying to look for a mechanism that could open it up, a deep threat in his low voice: “Yun Che, if you don’t want to die without a burial place, then open the door for me!”

Yun Che did not respond as he closed his eyes and regulated his internal energy, slowly stabilizing the injuries in his body. Although he had hardened himself against Night Singing Cold’s strike, the injuries he had sustained were definitely not light. Beside him, Feng Xue’er stretched out her snow-white small hand and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, her beautiful eyes full of heartache …… He was so heavily injured, and could be able to let his own self, who had no ability to resist, not even be hurt by the corners of his clothes, this was a touch that was enough to make her remember it for a lifetime.

Night Singing Cold wandered around for more than a dozen rounds and couldn’t find half a thing that resembled a mechanism, he could only call it quits and stood in front of the stone door, his face changing rapidly for a while before his voice suddenly became calm: ”Yun Che, not only did you break my good deed, but you also killed two of my beloved women, any one of the things that you’ve done is enough to make me put you in a position where you can’t beg for your life and can’t beg for your death! Taking a step back, even if you really manage to escape today and leave the Swire Xuan Boat …… hum! I will also go out of my way to mobilize the power of the Sun Moon Divine Palace to launch an undying pursuit of you. At that time, not only will no one have the guts to bail you out, there will also be countless people who will go and kill you in order to curry favor with me, the Sun Moon Divine Palace, so that you will be like a bereaved dog, never having any peace until you are shredded to pieces!”

Although Night Singing Cold’s words were a threat, they were also the truth, and Yun Che knew it by heart. Messing with the hatred of the Phoenix Divine Sect and messing with the hatred of the Sun Moon Divine Palace were two very different concepts.

“If you don’t come out, you’ll be sealed in this Swift Ancient Xuan Boat, and even if you manage to escape, you’ll likewise just die!” Night Singing Cold said sinisterly, “But now, I can give you a chance! As long as you open this door and hand over my Xue’er sister to me, then I can forget about everything, including the fact that you killed my woman! Not only will I let you go and let you leave the Swift Xuan Ark safely, in the future, I won’t hunt you down either, and I can even give you some favors.”

In the midst of a desperate situation, words like this undoubtedly had a huge allure. Yun Che closed his eyes, his demeanor remained the same, and he did not make a sound. Feng Xue’er looked at him worriedly and softly said, “Brother Yun ……”

“Let’s ignore him.” Yun Che took Feng Xue’er’s shoulders and said in the same very soft voice.

“This young man is the Young Palace Master of the Sun Moon Divine Palace, and he is a man of his word. This is also your only chance to live, and a great gift that this young master has given you, so don’t think twice about destroying your life and future!” Night Singing Cold said in a calm voice, but in reality, his heart was also extraordinarily anxious. Because time counted, there was less than an hour left before the Swire Xuan Ark would close. At that time, not only would he no longer want to get his hands on Feng Xue’er, his ambition and despicable behavior would most likely be exposed for nothing, and it would be difficult for him to have another chance in the future.

He said a lot of words, but did not get any response, there was not even a sound inside. Night Singing Cold’s eyes became even more sinister: ”Yun Che! You just don’t come out, do you want to be buried in this Swift Xuan Boat? Hmph, you have a cheap life, so dying is fine, but you’re not qualified to drag Feng Xue’er to die with you! Her life is much more valuable than yours, if you really want to protect her, then honestly hand her over to me, this is your only chance!”

Feng Xue’er said in the harshest voice she could muster, “Night Singing Cold! I, Feng Xue’er, would rather die here with brother Yun than fall into your hands!”

“Oh, my sister Xue’er.” Upon hearing Feng Xue’er’s voice, Night Singing Cold’s tone suddenly appeared to change drastically, “Why are you rejecting your brother Night so much? Although my methods were slightly dishonorable, it was because I liked you too much and wanted you too eagerly.”

“Get lost!” Feng Xue’er angrily shouted, “I very …… very much hate you!”

“Sister Xue’er, you will not hate me.” Night Xinghan said in a leisurely voice, “I, Night Xinghan, am the Young Palace Master of the Sun Moon Divine Palace, and in less than three hundred years, I will become the official Palace Master of the Sun Moon Divine Palace, and become the most supreme figure in the entire Tian Xuan Continent. Only I, too, can be worthy of Sister Xue’er, and only Sister Xue’er, too, can be worthy of me.”

“I can promise Sister Xue’er Kodo right now that after we get married, I will use everything I have to protect you, to make you the most honorable and perfect woman in this world, and for your sake, I can even give up all the other women.”

“I will never …… ever like you! My brother Yun is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you!” Feng Xue’er exasperatedly shouted.

“Your brother Yun?” Night Singing Cold’s eyes narrowed as he sneered disdainfully, “You’re actually comparing me to a lowly mortal? He’s not even as good as a grasshopper on the side of the road in my eyes. For me to pinch him to death is truly simpler than pinching a grasshopper. My sister Xue’er, you’re so smart, how could your heart be so easily fooled? Following me is the perfect place for you. Even if you don’t think about your own future, then you should think about the future of the Phoenix God Sect. Do you want the future of the Phoenix God Sect so badly to be ruined on your selfish and wrong decisions alone?”

Night Singing Cold’s last sentence undoubtedly had a tremendous impact on Feng Xue’er’s mind. Yun Che opened his eyes, gently grabbed Feng Xue’er’s somewhat cold hand, and shook his head, “Don’t believe any words from a despicable person like him. No matter what he says, let’s ignore him.”

“Hmm.” Feng Xue’er gently nodded her head.

Yun Che closed his eyes once again and fully restored his injuries. Before the Taiguan Xuan Boat was about to close, Night Singing Cold would definitely leave this ancient castle, and at that time, it was the only hope for him and Feng Xue’er to escape from here. In order to infallibly save his own life, Night Singhan would definitely not get too close to the ancient fortress even after leaving it. Although it would be accompanied by a great risk, as long as he calculated the time to rush out, the probability of success would definitely not be low either.

The minute his injuries improved, the likelihood of success would also be one point greater.

With Yun Che and Feng Xue’er inside the stone room, and Night Singing Cold outside the stone room, the situation instantly fell into a stalemate where no one was able to advance or retreat. Night Singing Cold was unable to break open the stone door with all his might, and only continued to tempt, compel, and threaten with his words, and later on, he even cursed in anger, but both Yun Che and Feng Xue’er never responded to a single word from him again.

Rumble ……

The ground under their feet, the wall behind them, and the entire space suddenly shook slightly, as if it was an earthquake.

This vibration caused Yun Che’s spirit to condense, while the face of Night Xinghan outside the door changed violently.

“Ah……” Feng Xue’er suddenly realized something and let out a cry of alarm, “Brother Yun, it’s not good, I’ve heard from Father Emperor that when the space of the Swire Xuan Ark starts to vibrate, it means that there’s less than two quarters of an hour left before the Swire Xuan Ark will close.”

“Two quarters of an hour ……” Yun Che raised his eyes to stare at the stone door, his eyes becoming cautious.

Night Singing Cold’s voice also clearly became anxious: “Yun Che! In another two quarters of an hour, the Swire Xuan Ark will close. If you guys don’t come out, you won’t be able to be discharged by the force field of the Swire Xuan Ark at that time, and the two of you will die inside, and even your corpses will disappear along with the Swire Xuan Ark!!!”

“Come out, and you can both live! Otherwise, all of you will die!”

“You’d better care more about yourself.” Yun Che coldly said, “You yourself are also inside the ancient fortress, even if we are forced to come out at that time, you will still have to accompany us to the funeral just the same.”

<"Accompany the burial? Hehe, what an unpleasant two words, obviously you only need to obediently open the door, only need such a simple action, you can live well, my Xue'er sister can also live, but you are obsessed with not realizing it. It's just a matter of being stupid yourself, but you also want to drag my perfect Xue'er児 sister into this, this is the first time in my life that I've seen such a stupid person!!!">

“I would be a true fool if I believed your words.” Yun Che laughed coldly.

Rumble ……

The space shook once again, and according to past experiences and records, the closer the Swift Xuan Ark closed, the higher the frequency of the spatial shaking would be, and at the end, it would even be continuous, similar to the strong shaking of the space as if it was about to collapse. Night Xinghan’s face became increasingly cloudy as he turned his head to look beyond the courtyard, quickly calculating the time he would need from his current position to detach himself from the ancient fortress, gritting his teeth, he said, “Yun Che, I’m going to give you one last chance to either open the door or …… both of you die together! ”

Time flowed by breath by breath, and each breath flowed as if it was accompanied by the sound of death’s approaching footsteps. Yun Che’s face was calm, but his forehead was already covered in cold sweat, because the last moments determined whether he and Feng Xue’er would live or die. Going out now was death, and if they couldn’t go out before the Swire Xuan Ark closed, it would be the same death.

Another half a quarter of an hour had passed, the frequency of the space trembling had obviously become more frequent, and Night Singing Cold’s expression had also become more and more agitated, as he kept turning his head, confirming his route and time to get out of the ancient fortress over and over again, and then he took in a sharp breath and roared once again, ”Yun Che, I’m going to give you one more last chance! If you don’t want to die …… then open the door for me!!!”

In the middle of the stone room, Yun Che locked his brows tightly, his teeth clenched, and did not say a word. Feng Xue’er gripped Yun Che’s hand with force, her eyes in a state of confusion.

Rumble ……

A violent tremor in space caused Night Singing Cold’s body to sway drastically. And at this time, there was only the last quarter of an hour left before the full twelve hours.

At this time, even if Yun Che opened the door now and handed Feng Xue’er over to him, removing the time to escape, it was already simply too late to get his way. His face clouded, his entire body trembled, and he said with indignation and hideousness, ”Very well, then I will fulfill you all! Since I can’t get it, it’s not bad to destroy it with my own hands!!!”

Night Singing Cold’s words caused Yun Che to suddenly realize what he was doing, and he violently got up and roared, “Stop!”

Before his voice fell, Night Singing Cold’s palm had already heavily bombarded the right side of the stone door, and the landing point was precisely the small Xuan Formation that controlled the opening of the stone door.

The berserk force impacted into the Xuan Formation, the Xuan Formation suddenly suddenly flashed with light, and then completely shattered, the scattered Xuan light slowly disappeared in mid-air.

The Xuan Formation was destroyed, and the stone door was completely locked, no matter inside or outside, it could no longer be opened.

“Haha …… hahahahahaha! Give me forever …… to die inside!!!”

The destroyed Xuan Formation cut off Yun Che and Feng Xue’er’s hope of escaping, and also completely cut off Night Singing Cold’s hope of dyeing Feng Xue’er. Night Singing Cold let out a loud venting laugh, and with a face full of indignation, he flew up and rushed outward at the fastest speed possible, and soon landed on the stone staircase, heading straight for the exit of the ancient castle.
