In an instant, blood mist splattered, and the previously shouting group of savages stood frozen in place.
Huxin and Liu Yuren exchanged a glance, both displaying expressions of speechlessness.
This dramatic turn of events could not have come at a worse time. They had originally planned to use these barbarians to engage in a fight with the arriving Mingjing Wangye and others, but who would have thought...
"Capture that barbarian!" Huxin said coldly, quickly reacting.
If the Female Barbarian that appeared later intended to kill the Barbarian Chief, then capturing this Barbarian Chief would allow them to control the other savages.
As soon as Huxin's words fell, Liu Yuren dashed forward and pulled the nearly collapsing body of the barbarian closer. The two of them ran towards the mountainside.
However, their speed was clearly not as fast as when they had come down earlier.
Firstly, Liu Yuren was injured, and secondly, he had to drag along a barbarian weighing over two hundred pounds. Huxin followed behind Liu Yuren, fending off the charging barbarians. The Barbarian Chief, bleeding profusely from his chest, glared fiercely at the pursuing Female Barbarian. Various emotions surged within his eyes; he wished he could swallow the Female Barbarian whole and tear her apart.
But he was severely injured while the Female Barbarian was full of vigor.
Seeing that the group of savages led by the Female Barbarian was about to charge forward, the Barbarian Chief patted Liu Yuren and gestured for him to move to the other side of the mountain.
Liu Yuren and Huxin exchanged glances and temporarily chose to trust the Barbarian Chief's words.
From the look in the Barbarian Chief's eyes, it was clear he was unwilling to die just yet; even if he were to die, he wanted to take his attacker down with him.
Huxin and Liu Yuren had seized upon this weakness of his, which is why they made the decision to take him away at that moment.
The Female Barbarian clearly did not expect Huxin and Liu Yuren to make such a quick decision. By the time she reacted and tried to pursue them, Liu Yuren and Huxin had already followed the Barbarian Chief's guidance around to the other side of the mountainside. From the anger and dissatisfaction reflected in the Female Barbarian's eyes, Huxin was certain that this mountainside must be fraught with traps that made her wary.
Even if there were no traps, it was certainly a place where other savages dared not tread.
Because the other barbarians following the Female Barbarian stopped in their tracks, hesitating and daring not to advance. The Female Barbarian shouted angrily, turning to push one person after another beside her, but no one dared to take a step forward.
Standing between Huxin and Liu Yuren, the Barbarian Chief gestured to the two. Following his gesture, Huxin looked up and saw that the trunk of a towering ancient tree before her was of a color completely different from the other trunks.
It was a blood-red color, but this bright red only existed in the middle part of the trunk; the rest of it was a brown similar to ordinary tree trunks.
This section of red did not appear to be painted on but was the original color of the trunk. In this vast forest, only this tree had such a color.
Huxin vaguely felt that this tree should be a watershed, a totem in the hearts of these people, a forbidden area that could not be touched or approached.
As the barbarians at the front came to a halt, those who followed closely behind were evidently followers of the Barbarian Chief. A fierce battle broke out halfway up the mountain. Seeing that the opportunity had come, Liu Yuren knocked out the Barbarian Chief and turned to flee with Huxin. By the time they returned to the cave halfway up the mountain, faint footsteps could be heard from inside. The two exchanged glances and quickly hid in a concealed spot they had scouted earlier.
Led by Liu Yong and Liu Dog, a group rushed out without understanding what was happening. When they saw the chaotic scene of fighting barbarians before them, they were all dumbfounded. As they turned to retreat, Huxin and Liu Yuren had already circled behind them, cutting off their escape route while returning along their original path.
The barbarians were already blinded by rage and did not think about where Liu Yong and others had come from; they didn’t even bother searching for Huxin and Liu Yuren, immediately engaging in a melee with Liu Yong and his group.
At the other end of the tunnel, Huxin and Liu Yuren returned to the Secret Prison.
What lay before them was an even more gruesome scene than what they had previously witnessed with barbarians killing and devouring each other.
Severed limbs and blood flowed like rivers; even the walls of the Secret Prison were stained red with blood. Dark red blood trickled down the walls, pooling on the ground into a river of blood. Countless corpses lay on the ground, yet there was not a single complete body in sight.
From the direction of the entrance to the Secret Prison came rustling footsteps and low gasps; Liu Yuren's eyes turned cold as he stepped forward to protect Huxin behind him.
Huxin frowned slightly; she was not unfamiliar with this smell of blood, but such a bloody and cruel scene before her made her feel nauseous.
Just moments ago, there were vibrant lives full of energy; in such a short time, they had vanished without a trace.
"The person coming should be from the Xuanyuan Family," Huxin raised her hand to signal Liu Yuren to step aside, indicating that there was no need for him to block her.
At a glance, the scene showed traces left by Liu Yong and others, as well as signs of the Secret Guard. Since there was movement at the entrance, it was highly likely that the Xuanyuan Family had received news and rushed over. However, it was strange that they only arrived now; they must have been set up by Nalan Mingqing again, and only now had the chance to escape and check on the situation in the Secret Prison.
The chaos outside was still unknown.
Liu Yuren fixed her gaze on Huxin for a moment, slightly shifting her body so that most of her still blocked Huxin. Seeing this, Huxin didn’t bother to speak; her Mo Tong eyes were fixed on the direction of the entrance.
As the footsteps and heavy breathing from the entrance grew closer, the first person to appear before Huxin was Xuan Yuan Ling, dressed in fiery red.
As soon as Xuan Yuan Ling appeared, he instantly blended into the crimson surroundings of the Secret Prison. Apart from his Mo Tong eyes, his entire red outfit merged with the bloody red hue around him, enveloping him in a chilling aura.
Following closely behind Xuan Yuan Ling were more people—one, two, three, four... Each person who appeared shocked both Huxin and Liu Yuren.
Xia Yingba! Xuan Yuan Old King! Empress Dowager! Queen! Even Court Officials and Military Leaders appeared, and finally, seated in a wheelchair with a bloodthirsty smile was Nalan Mingqing.
As everyone walked in, Empress Dowager was the first to vomit; shortly after, Queen followed suit. The bloody scene before them caused Empress Dowager to roll her eyes back and faint after throwing up.
Queen wanted to find her personal maid to help her out, but unexpectedly, all the maids she brought were so frightened that they rolled their eyes back and fainted.
When Xia Yingba saw that Huxin was unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, Xia Yingba's expression turned cold and heavy in a way Huxin had never seen before.
