Chapter 583: Chapter 583
Lili Gu could feel multiple injuries all over her body.
"Who are you?! Who asked you to meddle?!" Lin Yue’er’s voice rose sharply, filled with severe dissatisfaction, addressing someone unknown.
"It was you who trespassed into my territory, and yet you dare to be so insolent? What do you think you are?!" A man’s voice erupted, cold and sharp.
Lin Yue’er looked around and finally recognized where she was and who the person before her was. Fearing that she might die here and now, she quickly spoke in softer tones, "It was my mistake for not recognizing a great person and offending the Young Master. I will leave immediately. However, the woman in the car has a sword that repels evil; the Young Master cannot come close to it. I must trouble the Young Master to find a common person to remove the sword from the car, so I can take this woman away."
"A sword that repels evil? It may scare you but it doesn’t scare me. Get lost at once."
Lin Yue’er had no choice but to leave, displeased.
Lili Gu, unable to bear the pain, couldn’t stop making noises. When she saw a pair of boots from the corner of the window, she tried to raise her eyes to see the owner’s true face but failed to do so.
Suddenly, the carriage was flipped over, and Lili Gu let out a scream as her wounds were violently agitated.
The carriage door was forcefully pulled open, and a pair of strong hands dragged her out of the carriage like dead dog, without a shred of pity.
The pain was almost shattering Lili Gu’s bones.
She was thrown onto the ground, with the Jiuquan Sword under her back, lying there.
Lili Gu was spitting out blood in great gasps, indicating how severe her internal injuries were.
A dark shadow squatted in front of her; she faced the person’s countenance.
An exceptionally beautiful yet sinister face came into her view.
Unable to speak, Lili Gu was turned over, and the sword was forcibly taken from her back.
Under the dim light, the man recognized the sword at a glance.
"The Jiuquan Sword..." His gaze turned to Lili Gu, "How did you come to possess this sword?"
"It belongs to someone else; I was asked to safeguard it temporarily."
"Whose is it?" he pressed. Chapters fırst released on novel_fіre.net
Not knowing who he was, Lili Gu certainly didn’t tell the truth, "A young man, very handsome. He... was badly injured and entrusted the sword to me for safekeeping, saying it would protect me. He also said he would claim it back once he recovers."
Seeing that she had no cultivation, just an ordinary woman, the man believed her words, "I’m taking this sword."
"On what grounds are you taking it?"
"On the grounds that I just saved you."
"Did I ask you to save me? Even without you, she couldn’t have done anything to me."
The man sneered, "She might not have been able to deal with you, but she could have had someone else do it, which is why you should thank me."
"I already told you the sword isn’t mine!"
The man picked up the sword and stood up, "What does it matter, once it’s in my hands, it’s mine."
Lili Gu saw him walking away and, despite the pain, staggeringly followed, "You’re being too overbearing, give it back to me..."
She wasn’t really worried about the sword being lost, because it had acknowledged Long Yubei as its master who could summon it back at any time. What she feared was that Lin Yue’er hadn’t left; if she moved too far away from the sword, Lin Yue’er could be waiting to kill her, and she would truly be helpless.
The man seemed to realize this too and didn’t react to her following him.
Not far away was a small house.
Lili Gu followed him inside. The room was very bright. She leaned against the door as she entered and could no longer hold on, fainting away.
At this moment in the Underworld King Hall of the underworld.
The Three Divine Mothers led several other tribal leaders and Lin Yue’er to face the Netherworld King and all the princes.
