Chapter 456 Stop fighting, please stop!
They are not here, but the ceremony will still continue.
Gongshu Liang was now on the verge of death and was being dragged out in a prison cart.
All he could see was darkness, and the cacophony of voices assaulted his ears like waves.
He could hear the insults and resentment directed at him from the crowd. He had lost! He had resigned himself to his fate!
He kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Just quietly waiting for the final death.
He had no idea how long he had walked along the long palace road, as if he had circled the city several times.
He was already covered in the people's malice towards him.
"Have you heard? He's the culprit who instigated the chaos in the four mountains!"
"Yes, I've also heard that this person is extremely powerful, and it took the combined strength of four mountains to subdue him!"
"Then he deserved to end up like this!"
Someone spat on the ground.
Some survived the epidemic, while others lost family members to the disease.
If it weren't for the Blood Guards holding them back, they would have rushed up and attacked him.
He was even holding a sharp knife.
Gongshu Liang recalled what had happened in the short span of a thousand years that had caused him to become like this.
Images flashed through my mind, and there was nothing happy about it; my whole life was spent scheming and competing.
Suddenly, he felt ridiculous. What if he had spent his whole life on West Demon Mountain?
He will inherit his father's position, which would put him in a position second only to the emperor.
When exactly did he fall into Zhongli Yu's trap?
Was it because of that first, breathtaking glance, that he was captivated by her beauty? Or was it something else?
It's hard to pinpoint the fault now, since we'll all die eventually anyway.
Zhongli Yueluo stood on the high platform, raising her wine cup with the four clans.
She is essentially the link between the four clans, connecting them all together.
As she watched Gongshu Liang's prison cart being pulled to the square, she stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd below.
There was not a trace of pity in his eyes; he was only staring in the direction of Gongshu Liang.
Perhaps Gongshu Liang also sensed it, because he looked up and turned his head in the direction of Zhongli Yueluo.
His empty eyes could see nothing.
But he knew that Zhongli Yueluo was definitely glaring at him fiercely.
But he didn't think he was wrong; it was just that he had failed, and if the other party had failed, they would have ended up in the same situation.
The deep bell rang three times, signaling that the auspicious time had arrived, and the execution ground was crowded with people.
This contrasts sharply with the opulent court and joyful conversation.
Zhongli Yueluo gripped her wine cup tightly, looking down at the scene below, anticipating the moment when Gongshu Liang would carry out the execution.
The raised butcher's knife fell swiftly, and Gongshu Liang thought his head would fall to the ground.
But unexpectedly, he lost both of his legs first.
He then lost both hands and became like a wooden stake.
The final blow landed on his head, which rolled to the side with a gurgling sound, and the people below were terrified as blood gushed out.
But the suppressed anger in his heart was also released in that instant.
Sure enough, all the anger was directed at Gongshu Liang.
Zhongli Yueluo relaxed her grip on the wine glass.
But I still didn't see the three of them. I should have enjoyed this scene with them.
He asked the maid next to him.
"Have you seen Young Master Feng, Young Master Ling, or Young Master Yan?"
"Your Highness, I did not see him."
Zhongli Yueluo licked her lips and then blended back into the cheerful laughter.
Ruan Xinchen walked to Zhongli Yueluo's side, patted the back of her hand, and looked at her with loving eyes.
"Yueluo, it's all over. You can let go of everything you've been carrying and enjoy your life."
"Mother, after this is over, will you return to West Demon Mountain? Or will you stay in North Demon Mountain and not go back?"
"Of course we're going back to West Demon Mountain. That's your home. I'll always be waiting for you there."
Zhongli Yueluo felt a lump in her throat. Home? For the past thousand years, she had never truly felt the feeling of home.
The three of them could give her a home, but their relationship was built on mutual interests.
Now that everything has settled, do they have second thoughts and want to return to their own mountains?
After all, the young master had nothing to gain from being by her side, so it was normal for him to leave at this point.
But she changed their predetermined fate, and she has no regrets, even though she is all alone.
“Alright, Mother, after today we’ll stay at North Demon Mountain for two days, then we’ll head back to West Demon Mountain.”
"But what about your three sons-in-law?"
“They all have their own considerations, and I will not interfere with whatever choice they make.”
Although I said I wouldn't interfere, I still felt a little sad. I didn't realize that people who can't see their loved ones feel this bad.
"elder sister……"
In the midst of the noise, I heard a sound and turned around abruptly to find that it was a brother and sister addressing each other.
"Princess……"
I can't help but look up to see if it's one of them.
What happened to them? Where did they go?
After Zhongli Yueluo finished dealing with them, these people were exhausted and couldn't muster any more smiles.
"Uncle, I want to go out for a walk. I'll leave the rest to you. By the way, have you seen the three of them?"
Ruan Yixuan shook his head; he truly hadn't seen it.
There were already many things to do when opening up the mountain, and with so many mixed-race people coming and going, there was simply no time to attend to anything else.
"You need to see those three people for something. Do you need me to send someone to help you find them?"
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head: "It's nothing, Uncle, you go ahead with your work."
He left the noisy crowd, walked onto the empty palace road, passed his own bedroom, and arrived at a place far from human habitation.
I could clearly sense their presence, yet I couldn't see them. My heart was pounding with fear.
The three men had prepared three ships at the port and were arguing over who would take the princess aboard first.
After dealing with the trivial matters of each tribe, they devoted all their attention to the princess.
But the princess was alone, and the three of them remained locked in a stalemate.
"Brother, even if it's you, I won't give you up. Sister must stay with me!"
“Feng Ling, the princess is exhausted. I think she should stay with me.”
"Gentlemen, my Eastern Demon Mountain is the closest, and besides, the princess has some agreements with the people of Eastern Demon Mountain that she has not yet fulfilled."
"Of course you should come aboard my ship."
Su Fengling drew the sword from his waist, flicked it, and it made a buzzing sound.
A dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as he stared at Yan Ruoyu.
"In that case, we'll have to have a contest. Whoever wins gets to take the princess away."
Su Fengjun was not to be outdone at this moment, and decided to go all out, drawing both his sword and saber.
The three formed a triangular opposition, each unwilling to yield to the other.
He Yuhuan and Su Nian walked along the street in the port, eating grilled dried shrimp.
Yin Yi followed behind, carrying large and small bags, watching as three streams of energy shot straight into the sky in the distance.
Aren't those three young lords? Why are they fighting?
At this moment, Zhongli Yueluo finally sensed their exact location.
With a light touch, it transformed into a streak of blue light between the rooftops, appearing not far from them.
