Chapter 46

  Murong Lingyun was momentarily stunned, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Ling Feng's hand. The rope in his hand seemed to tremble slightly in the silent darkness of the night. He appeared to still be in a daze from the sudden shock, but Xuan Yuan's words made him involuntarily break out in a cold sweat.

  Xuan Yuan Chen's words had a hidden meaning, and he was afraid that anyone present could understand him. He and Ling Feng had become the two rabbits in Xuan Yuan Chen's words at this moment.

  Rabbit! How could Murong Lingyun become someone else's target? At this moment, no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

  Watching Xuan Yuan Chen take out another arrow and place it on the bow arm, although he had not yet pulled it tight, it already made people feel a kind of suffocating tension.

  "How is it? How does General Murong feel about this night scene? Can it satisfy General Murong?" Xuan Yuan's thin lips opened slightly, his cold words piercing through the boundless darkness.

  "Thank you for your concern, General. I haven't had enough fun yet and want to play a bit longer, so I won't disturb you." Murong Lingyun also echoed half-truthfully, naturally understanding that Xuan Yuan Chen wouldn't let him off so easily, secretly thinking of how to escape.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly bowed with his hands and was about to leave, but before the rope in his hand had even twitched, Xuan Yuan Chen's arrow was already aimed straight at him.

  "So, General Murong, when do you think the rabbit I'm waiting for will be shot?" Xuan Yuan Chen said slowly and calmly, with his arrow aimed at him but without any intention of pulling it back. At this moment, he seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse.

  "Haha, haha, haha," Murong Lingyun chuckled softly, "It's easy for the prince to shoot a rabbit, this season, there are many rabbits in this forest."

  Xuanyuan Chen didn't say a word, and Murong Lingyun chuckled with him, but his eyes carefully observed the terrain in front of him, secretly calculating what speed to use, which direction to take, in order to avoid his arrow.

  "Is that so?" Xuan Yuan Chen also didn't have a hint of anger, instead slightly raised an eyebrow. "Does General Murong think that the most abundant thing in this forest is rabbits?" His words paused for a moment, his eyes staring straight at Murong Lingyun and Lingfeng, the corners of his mouth curling up into a cold smile with a deeper meaning. He then said in a low voice, "This sentence, I agree with." However, the gaze he directed at them had already turned into that suffocating coldness.

  "So I, the king, have specially brought divine bows and arrows to wait here. Hehehe... It seems that guarding for most of the night was worth it."

  "That's it, that's it, heh heh," Murong Lingyun continued to chuckle lightly. "Then I won't disturb the king anymore." As he spoke, the reins in his hand suddenly shook violently, and the two legs on either side of the horse's back also tightened their grip. The sword in his hand stabbed fiercely at the horse's buttocks, causing it to feel a sudden sharp pain. The horse went mad and charged forward rapidly.

  He can be said to have staked everything on this one move, because he knows that if he wants to escape from Xuan Yuan Zhi's hands, the opportunity is too small. He just wants Xuan Yuan Zhi to pull out that bow and arrow, at least it will take some time, and he can use this time to escape.

  Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have expected his reaction and didn't show any surprise or panic, instead he coldly smiled, pulling the bowstring taut with force, the arrowhead directly aimed at Murong Lingyun's back.

  With the power of that arrow just now, this arrow will not only pierce through Murong Lingyun's back, but 100% will also pierce through Ling Feng at the same time.

  However, just as Murong Lingyun had expected, he did waste some time drawing his bow and arrow. By the time he had drawn them, Murong Lingyun's horse had already galloped a short distance away.

  In the boundless darkness, the arrow aimed at Murong Lingyun's back had already been drawn to its tightest, only, Xuan Yuan Chen's stiff hand seemed to have hesitated for a brief moment.

  At that moment, Murong Lingyun, who had already run some distance, suddenly picked up Ling Feng, turned over the horse's back, and rushed towards the side of the forest, while the horse continued to gallop wildly forward.

  Xuan Yuan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Murong Lingyun to make a sudden move. In the dead of night, abandoning his horse wasn't exactly a brilliant tactic, but he and Murong Lingyun were both well aware that if Murong hadn't jumped off his horse just now, at this moment...

  "Prince? Are you going to chase after him?" Chu Wei was also stunned, and he sought Xuan Yuan Chen's opinion on the side. However, in his heart, he knew that with Prince's personality, he would absolutely not let things go just like this.

  As expected, Xuan Yuan's eyes swept over him coldly and he said in a low voice, "What do you think?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and beneath the icy chill in his gaze was a ruthlessness that made one tremble. "However, let Murong Lingyun have his moment of triumph first, it won't hurt."

  The game of cat catching mouse is more exciting when it's like this.

  Murong Lingyun hugged Ling Feng and retreated into the woods, then rushed forward at the fastest speed. After a while, although Xuan Yuan Zhi seemed to have not chased after them, he still didn't dare to let his guard down even for a moment, because after being with Xuan Yuan Zhi for many years, he was very familiar with Xuan Yuan Zhi's way of handling things.

  So he still used all his strength to rush forward hastily, and ran for several miles before feeling slightly out of breath and being forced to slow down.

  Just as he slightly raised his eyes, he was suddenly shocked still, because Xuan Yuan Chen had somehow appeared in front of him.

  "Murong General is a bit too impatient, isn't he?" Xuan Yuan Chen said with a hint of mockery and cold smile, at this moment his hands were no longer holding the bow and arrow, but instead held a long sword emitting a chilling glow.

  "Your Highness, why must you press him so closely?" Murong Lingyun only now had to admit that he was indeed no match for Xuan Yuan Zhen, and his submission at this moment was not because of himself, but because he was worried about Lingfeng.

  "In the Wang Ye's mansion, there are countless women, is it necessary to coerce one of them like this?"

  Xuanyuan Chen's eyes sank suddenly, and a fierce glint flashed across his already gloomy face. He said coldly, "You say I forced her?"

  Her eyes slowly turned towards Ling Feng, and she said word by word, "Alright, then you tell him, did I force you?"

  "Xuanyuan Chen, don't make it difficult for her. Whatever it is, direct it all at me." Murong Lingyun didn't wait for Lingfeng to respond and hastily shouted out, fearing that Lingfeng would give an answer he didn't want to hear for his sake.

  Xuan Yuan's lips curled up coldly, revealing a ruthless smile that sent shivers down one's spine. "Good, truly magnificent, and indeed a deep sibling bond." His words paused for a moment before his gaze turned to Ling Feng, and for an instant, a flash of bloodthirsty ferocity seemed to flicker in his eyes. In a voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell, he said, "I'll give you two an opportunity to see just how deep your sibling bond is." His cold gaze swept over Ling Feng and Mu Rong Ling Yun. "Today, my sword will only kill one person - either you or her? You decide for yourselves."
