After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 172 Peach Blossom Killing
Two days later, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
It was already late at night, but Shangguan Wan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply put on her clothes and pushed the door open.
There was a dim candlelight in the Peach Blossom Temple. Jiang Xuening lit three incense sticks in front of the Buddha statue enshrined in the temple.
Shangguan Wan had a premonition in her heart, holding a pot of wine in her hand, "Want to drink?"
"Let's go drink on the mountain."
The two climbed up the mountain along the winding path.
At the same time, in the dense forest opposite Taohua Mountain, Xiao Linfeng was standing facing the wind, the wind blowing the corners of his clothes. His dark and deep eyes were calm without a trace of emotion.
"My lord, it's almost time."
Xiao Linfeng raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky. "Let's take action."
The thirty most elite secret guards of the Xiao family, led by their men, invaded Peach Blossom Valley little by little under the cover of night.
He just waited indifferently, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
He didn't know what he was waiting for.
Soon there was a slight noise in the valley, and the handsome man beside him said softly, "It seems that he was prepared in advance. He is not a pushover."
There was a ripple in his eyes, "Xiao Shujin said that she is Gu Mingyue."
"Ayu, you said she is, right?"
Sang Yu was distracted for a moment, then quickly denied it, "It's impossible, she must be crazy. Not only is Gu Mingyue dead, but even her body has dissipated. How could she come back?"
Xiao Linfeng pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled frighteningly, "Ayu, are you afraid? Are you afraid that she will come back to take your life?"
Sang Yu, who has always been regarded as the think tank of the Prince of Wei's Palace and a man of great resourcefulness, was unusually silent.
After a long while, he said, "I'm not afraid."
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of seeing her again, the woman who was as bright as a rose in his memory.
She once stood up for him and saved his sister, but he stabbed her in the back and used his so-called cleverness to help Xiao Linfeng push her into the abyss.
Xiao Linfeng looked at his pale face under the moonlight and chuckled, "Ayu, do you regret it?"
Sang Yu said firmly, "My life was saved by the prince, I am willing to do anything for you."
His hands are already covered in blood and there is no turning back. After he dies, he will go to the eighteen levels of hell to atone for his sins.
The secret guards and assassins who entered the valley first fell into a maze and were forcibly trapped in different places.
There were all kinds of mechanisms and traps in the maze, and at least half of the people died in this wave.
Those who escaped would encounter various poisons, and those who went deep into the valley would encounter an impenetrable and indiscriminate arrow attack.
The night was too dark, and after a round of cross-arrow attacks, the lucky ones who survived were led by Bai Yu Wu Jin and waited for the final fight.
Wu Sa was still dressed in red, guarding Jiang Xue Ning. If the enemy attacked, she would be the last line of defense.
But there are no ifs.
Jiang Xue Ning and Shangguan Wan stood side by side on the top of the mountain, watching the fight taking place in the dark.
The occasional shrill screams foreshadowed the brutal fighting.
The wind started to blow, and a faint scent of peach blossoms wafted in the air.
Shangguan Wan asked in confusion, "It's late autumn now, where does the peach blossom fragrance come from?"
Jiang Xue Ning's eyes were filled with a cold smile, and she said nonchalantly, "This round is called Peach Blossom Kill! The array will be filled with a special peach blossom fragrance that will captivate your heart."
When we were young, we rode horses and rode in the rivers and lakes. We were chased and forced into a valley, and it was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom.
She used the peach blossoms in the valley as a formation to set up a peach blossom trap, killing those who were chasing them, and several people escaped.
I wonder if Xiao Linfeng still remembers it!
Shangguan Wan had heard about their deeds when she was still young. They were in their prime, studying together at Gu's school, wandering together, playing together. They were full of vigor and vitality, and lived up to their youth.
They were the most eye-catching boys and girls in the prosperous Shengjing, and left behind countless rumors.
Later, they fell apart in time and went their separate ways.
After many years, I finally woke up from the dream.
The young boys and girls who rode their horses across the street together back then had already pointed their knives at each other.
Shangguan Wan felt a faint sadness in her heart late at night. She had been fortunate enough to witness their best youth, but later she witnessed the shattering of that beautiful past in volumes of unofficial history.
Separated by life, separated by death, wronged, betrayed...living is worse than death...
Finally, I can only sigh: I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn’t resemble the travels of my youth.
Jiang Xue Ning was hidden in the darkness, her expression was gloomy and unclear, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Finally, the valley returned to silence.
Jiang Xuening raised her lips and said coldly, "It's over."
In the dense forest outside the valley, Xiao Linfeng said nothing. Sang Yu said softly, "In this round, we were killed in the counterattack."
The secret guards guarding the outer edge of the valley came over to plead guilty, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty."
The faint scent of peach blossoms drifted into Xiao Linfeng's nostrils. He was distracted for a moment, "Take me to the entrance of the valley."
"Are you crazy? It's dangerous to go there now..."
Sang Yu's voice of dissuasion stopped abruptly because he also smelled a familiar smell.
Xiao Linfeng walked quickly towards the entrance of the valley and finally stopped outside the formation. The peach blossoms that had not yet dissipated mixed with the smell of blood reminded him that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
He glanced at the remaining formation in front of him with a cold gaze, and laughed a little crazily, "Hahaha, it's actually the Peach Blossom Killer..."
"After so many years, the Peach Blossom Killer has reappeared in the world."
Sang Yu pinched his palm tightly under his sleeve, but said calmly, "As that man's cousin, it's not surprising that she would be so unlucky..."
"Isn't it strange?"
Xiao Linfeng said with an unpredictable look, "There are not many people in this world who can kill with peach blossoms."
"So?" Sang Yu asked back, "You didn't really believe Xiao Shujin's lies, did you?"
"Or...you hope what Xiao Shujin said is true."
Xiao Linfeng looked at him fiercely, "What do you think Jiang Xue Ning is trying to prove by performing the Peach Blossom Kill?"
"You want to disturb our minds, just pretending to be a ghost!"
"Ayu, you have lost your usual calmness." Xiao Linfeng sighed softly, "What are you afraid of!"
"I'm not afraid of anything, even if she really comes back. We have no way out!" He said excitedly and crazily, "We can only raise our knives and kill each other!"
He closed his eyes after he finished speaking, suppressing the surging emotions in his eyes.
Xiao Linfeng laughed, "Yes, if you meet a god, kill the god; if you meet a ghost, kill the ghost. This is the correct way."
The night wind brings bursts of peach blossom fragrance, making people dizzy.
Sang Yu opened his eyes again, and there was a calmness in his eyes. "The Princess of Qingzhou came with ill intentions. After the battle tonight, we should re-evaluate her. We should kill her as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."
After a moment of losing control, he was still the rational and calm Sang Yu.
But under the moonlight, his back seemed a little faster as he turned and left.
Xiao Linfeng smiled tenderly while smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms, "It's really annoying to show up in an inappropriate season."
"Jiang Xue Ning, you can't escape..."
