Without thinking too much, Wu Zhu picked up Fan Xian, who was still an infant.
They have already realized it.
Ye Qingmei had already lost all life and died on the spot.
At this moment, Wu Zhu remembered the instructions Ye Qingmei had given him, telling him to raise his two children well in the future.
After a moment's thought, Wu Zhu made his decision.
They were to leave with Fan Xian and Chen Qingfeng.
Just as Wu Zhu was about to hug Chen Qingfeng again, several whooshing sounds came one after another.
Immediately afterwards, three figures dressed in the same attire as Wu Zhu swept into the arena; they were none other than the three messengers of the temple.
After their previous exchange, Wu Zhu was already seriously injured under the combined attack of the three.
Realizing that the other party was using a diversionary tactic, Wu Zhu chose to withdraw.
Who would have thought that when they returned to Taiping Villa, Ye Qingmei had already committed suicide.
Seeing the three messengers from the temple closing in, Wu Zhu swiftly flew towards Chen Qingfeng.
"boom!"
Just then, a messenger from the temple stepped forward and exchanged a palm strike with Wu Zhu, who was flying towards him.
After a single palm strike, both men were forced to retreat several steps.
After regaining his balance, Wu Zhu looked at Chen Qingfeng, who was still in swaddling clothes.
In the current situation, he is seriously injured, and the three envoys from the temple are no less powerful than him.
If they force their way forward again, not only will they fail to take Chen Qingfeng away, but he might also be left behind.
Although I really wanted to save Chen Qingfeng.
However, Wu Zhu was willing but unable to do so.
Left with no other choice, they had to carry Fan Xian away.
Upon seeing this, the three temple messengers did not delay and immediately chased after Wu Zhu.
Although Chen Qingfeng was still an infant, he had his own independent consciousness and witnessed all of this.
He was overjoyed when he saw Wu Zhu appear.
Thinking that with Wu Zhu's help, the current crisis would be resolved.
However, what Chen Qingfeng never expected was...
After Wu Zhu arrived, the three messengers from the temple followed closely behind.
Wu Zhu originally intended to take him away, but the temple messenger blocked him, and he was already injured, so he was willing but unable to do so!
"Luckily, I have the system with me."
"Even if Wu Zhu can't save me, he can at least protect himself!"
Chen Qingfeng had already cultivated the Nine Dragons Body Control Technique to the third level.
The Azure Dragon True Qi within his body grew ever more powerful.
Because of the limitations of an infant's body, he cannot yet project his true energy outwards, but protecting himself should not be a problem.
……
At this juncture, on the western border of Nanqing.
Although it was late at night, Emperor Qing did not fall asleep. He stood outside the central command tent, wearing armor.
"His Majesty!"
"Judging by the time, the Empress's faction should have already made their move."
Hong Sixiang's soft, feminine voice rang out.
Emperor Qing glanced at him slightly, but did not rush to speak.
After a long silence, he finally took a deep breath and sighed:
"She has only herself to blame!"
"I just hope nothing goes wrong."
"By the way, has there been any unusual activity from Lord Sinan?"
"It seems like I haven't seen him for two days."
Just as Hong Sixiang was about to say something, a subordinate lieutenant rushed in to report:
"His Majesty!"
"Oh no! Si Nanbo has disappeared!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing was greatly alarmed and shouted coldly:
"what?"
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him secretly?"
The lieutenant, feeling ashamed, said:
"Your Majesty, this Lord Sinan is quite cunning. He placed a double in the army, making us mistakenly believe that he had been in the tent all along!"
Emperor Qing's brows furrowed, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
At this moment, Hong Sixiang, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips and said:
"Your Majesty need not be angry."
"Even if Si Nanbo travels a thousand miles to get back, it will be too late."
After Hong Sixiang said this, Emperor Qing's expression improved slightly.
……
Meanwhile, in Taiping Villa, on the outskirts of Kyoto, Nanqing.
The Empress snapped out of her daze.
Wu Zhu's appearance just now gave her quite a fright.
I had long heard that Ye Qingmei had an extremely powerful bodyguard by her side.
Kyoto garrison commander Ye Zhong was once thoroughly defeated by him.
This prompted Ye Liuyun to step in and seek revenge for his nephew.
As a result, Ye Liuyun and Wu Zhu fought a fierce battle.
The outcome of that battle remains unknown.
But after the battle, Ye Liuyun abandoned his sword.
He later created his own martial arts technique, Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand, and from then on, he joined the ranks of grandmasters.
"Bad breed!"
"Let's see who else can save you!"
The Empress stared coldly at Chen Qingfeng, then raised her longsword again and thrust it straight at him.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qingfeng's eyes widened in surprise.
"She is the Empress?"
"How pathetic!"
"He's nothing more than a pawn in Emperor Qing's hands, yet he doesn't even realize it!"
Just as Chen Qingfeng was sighing, the Empress had already drawn her sword and stabbed him in front of her.
The sharp edge of the sword gleamed with a cold light!
The longsword was about to pierce Chen Qingfeng's body.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Hey!
A dragon's roar was heard.
The next moment, a dazzling golden light appeared on Chen Qingfeng's body.
Immediately following, three golden dragons roared out from within the golden light, their cries shaking the heavens and their imposing power overwhelming!
In addition, subtle strands of cyan true energy flowed from Chen Qingfeng's body.
A vibrant energy, brimming with life!
This sudden scene left everyone present speechless.
The Empress's sword strike was stopped by a golden light three inches from Chen Qingfeng's body.
No matter how hard the empress tried, the longsword could not advance an inch further.
"Bang!"
Before the Empress could react, a crisp sound rang out.
The longsword he held in his hand shattered on the spot under the arrogant roar of the three golden dragons!
Immediately, a terrifying aura burst forth from Chen Qingfeng's body.
The Empress was caught off guard.
Under the onslaught of this energy, he staggered backward.
After regaining her balance, the Empress was completely dumbfounded, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
At the same time, all the men in black present were shocked and stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
"what?"
"A golden dragon coiled around him?"
"This is... the image of the Dragon Emperor?"
