Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2494 Oath

At this time, the manipulated Zen temple disciples had become blood-thirsty, and the square had almost turned into a hell with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the bluestone floor tiles were stained red with blood.

No matter how well-trained the Mu family army was, they still felt fear when faced with this group of lunatics who had lost the will to live and only cared about killing each other.

After all, they are sane flesh and blood, while the other party is no longer.

For the Mu family army, this battle was a win or lose. The Zen temple disciples fighting with them were all dead warriors, already poisoned. As long as these mortal bodies could kill more opponents before they died, it would be a win for the Zen temple.

Mu You had been a soldier for half his life, and he found it very difficult to face this kind of opponent who was so persistent and had no intention of retreating or protecting himself.

The other party was like a pool of mud, wanting to drag everyone down with it. In a sense, all the disciples of the Zen Temple had become Gu at this moment, and Yun Zhongjun was the real Gu King. As long as he didn't stop, this group of Gu would continue to wriggle and twist, dragging more people into the abyss.

Mu You didn't know how to break the deadlock. Whether it was Ying Baoyue and Li Ji who were fighting against Yun Zhongjun on the high platform, or Mu's army who were fighting against the Zen temple disciples on the square, they were all stuck in a quagmire.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside again, which rekindled everyone's hope.

"Who's coming?"

"Who else is coming?"

"Friend or foe?"

Yun Zhongjun noticed the movement of the crowd and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's useless no matter who comes," the man smiled and looked down at the people in the audience as if he was looking at a group of ants.

Yun Zhongjun just found it funny. The appearance of the Mu family army led by Mu You gave the people of Former Qin unrealistic delusions, thinking that everyone who came was a savior.

"Even if your emperor and imperial teacher were to come back to life, they couldn't save you," he said with a smile.

Hearing Yun Zhongjun's ridicule, many officials and practitioners of the Former Qin Dynasty became excited, but Tengshe Zhuque, Ying Baoyue and others on the high platform remained silent.

In fact, Yun Zhongjun was not wrong. In the current situation, it would be useless even if Emperor Ying and Lin Shubai were reborn.

What they lacked at this moment was not combat power. The realms of Ying Baoyue, Li Ji and Ji Jiashu were already not low. Teng Snake, Suzaku and the Azure Dragon God who had not yet fully recovered were all here, but they still could not defeat this man.

This is not to say that Yun Zhongjun, as a cultivator, is already so powerful that no one can defeat him, but that this man has been preparing for this battle for a very long time.

He had anticipated all situations in advance, seized all the opponents' weaknesses, and set up this extremely sophisticated game.

Ying Baoyue looked at the man in front of him with a smile in his eyes. Putting aside the stance of good and evil, this man was indeed an opponent worthy of admiration.

In order to achieve the current situation, he had been setting up the trap for at least ten years, maybe even twenty years.

  With such a character and such abilities, how could ordinary people defeat him?

Ying Baoyue originally thought that Yun Zhongjun was a pure evil person, but now she realized that she had thought too simply.

This person was different from the White Wolf King, Wu Chanxu and others she had met. He was an extremely complicated person.

What on earth has supported Yun Zhongjun to get here?

What kind of circumstances and malicious feeding could give birth to such a person?

Ying Baoyue didn't understand, but she was very clear about one thing. To be able to remain conscious even when being parasitized by the evil god was definitely not something that could be sustained by ordinary willpower and despair.

Ying Baoyue felt a deep hatred from this man.

This is a man who has truly seen hell.

Yun Zhongjun had seen things far more horrifying than the scene before his eyes, so no matter what happened he would not feel fear or retreat.

Whether it is body or mind, he has cultivated to the extreme.

For the first time, Ying Baoyue felt a sense of powerlessness from an opponent.

She really didn't know how to defeat this man. Chunyu Ye was raised by Yun Zhongjun, but he was able to use him as a prop mercilessly. Although the ghost fetus has been confirmed not to be Yun Zhongjun's biological child, even if it is his biological son, Ying Baoyue believes that Yun Zhongjun will sacrifice him mercilessly to achieve his goal.

This man, without any heart, loyalty, love or emotion, is simply unbreakable.

At this moment, a new shadow appeared in front of the gate of the collapsed Afang Palace.

"It's the army!"

"It's Qin Jun!"

After seeing the other side's armor and attire, the officials in the square became excited again.

The Qin army coming to help at this time was beyond everyone's expectations. "Where did they come from? What flag did they fly?"

"I don't know him. Wait, it seems to be..."

There were hundreds of cavalrymen coming. Their armor was old, but it was still recognized as the style of the Qin Army. Although their numbers were not as large as the Mu family army, they had the iron-blooded spirit of veterans.

"The words embroidered on that flag are..."

"Return?"

Some old soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were still alive in the square rubbed their eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes as they could see a flag they hadn't seen for many years in just one day.

go home!

"Could it be that the Grand Marshal of Guichang has brought people here?"

When Ying Hanri was seriously ill and dying, Gui Chang, as the Grand Sima of the Former Qin Dynasty, should have stayed in the palace to take charge of the situation. However, he disappeared along with many of Ying Hanri's personal soldiers.

Because there was chaos in the court, it was not uncommon for important officials to run away when the king was in trouble, so no one paid attention to where this person went.

When the banner of returning home was raised, everyone remembered the Da Sima who had disappeared for a long time.

"No, the leader is not Gui Da Sima!"

An official screamed, and everyone realized that the cavalry was led by a boy who looked very young.

He was riding in the front, with a carriage following far behind him, and a dozen cavalrymen escorting the carriage.

Mu You rode on his horse and watched the young man and the cavalry riding into the palace. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked very pleased.

His previous arrangements were not in vain, and the young man really got his things back.

"Guichen?"

Ji Jiashu and others stood on the platform, looking at the face of the leading young general in shock.

He didn't expect that Gui Chen, who had disappeared with them on Wolfback Mountain before, would appear at this time, leading an unfamiliar army.

"It's the returning army!"

"The Gui family is here too! Look at the military might, they are all led by General Gui himself!"

An elderly Former Qin survivor behind Ying Xun became excited and grabbed Ying Xun's shoulders, "Your Majesty, the Gui family has always been loyal to the royal family. The Gui family army must be here to protect your majesty!"

The Gui family was the only one left among the three great powers of the Qin Dynasty, and Gui Chang had always served as the Grand Marshal of the Qin Dynasty. In the eyes of the old Qin people, the Gui family had always supported the orthodoxy. Ying Hanri was dead, so the Gui family army must be Ying Xun's people.

However, facing the excitement of his men, Ying Xun remained expressionless.

"No," he glanced at Ying Baoyue who was staring at the square beside him, and said quietly, "That person is not mine."

If other forces might support him, it was absolutely impossible for the young man in front of him.

because……

"He was the only one who embraced the moon from the very beginning."

Gui Chen rode his horse all the way to the foot of the platform, dismounted in his armor, and then knelt on one knee.

"I entrust my entire life to the sword that protects the princess. I regard it as my only master. We will live and die together, and we will never be separated."

This was the oath he made by the Yunmeng Lake when he was chasing the carriage with his sister on his back.

And now, he finally has the chance to fulfill this oath.

He is her eternal iron guard.

"Your Highness," Gui Chen looked up at Ying Baoyue, "Guijia, come and protect the emperor."

"He was the only one who embraced the moon from the very beginning."

Guichen, the original Iron Guard
