Chapter 473 There's really no way to save him.
The young emperor refused to leave. He held Shen Wen's hand with one hand and passionately directed the guards around him to fight with the other.
Shen Wen had a clear understanding of the entire situation, and she naturally knew that at this time, the young emperor absolutely could not retreat, otherwise the Great Jue Kingdom would truly change its name and surname.
Shen Wen had no choice but to secretly mobilize the armory and deploy a fleet of drones to control the entire situation from the air, helping the Imperial Guards to slowly turn the tide.
As Shen Wen watched the battle slowly turn around, he felt a sense of unease when he saw the immortal cultivators using forbidden techniques to kill people.
These evil cultivators are incredibly difficult to deal with. Although the drones are precise, they are no match for their cunning and ever-changing tactics. The demons and monsters they control can take human form and become invisible at the same time. Each time the drones seem to hit, their forms scatter upon impact, and some powerful ones immediately revert to their original forms, as if nothing happened. Some demons are adept at controlling humans as their puppets. The drones hit innocent humans, and the demons escape from the puppets, then replace them with the next one to fight.
Shen Wen frowned as he looked at these strange things.
Shen Wen felt a strong urge to fight. She thought that if she were to personally take to the field, with her current superhuman strength, she would be able to annihilate these monsters and evil spirits with a single punch.
Thinking of this, Shen Wen could no longer hold back and ran out, ready to rush into the battlefield to fight.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, the young emperor grabbed her. The young emperor's strength was extraordinary, and he held her so tightly that she could not move.
The young emperor stopped him, saying, "You are not allowed to do dangerous things, and don't try to show off."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wen couldn't help but turn to look at the young emperor.
Her intuition was spot on; this tone and attitude were different from those of the young emperor she had just spoken to.
Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield is slowly turning around. Chu Yanqiu's Xiliang army is being suppressed by a small swarm of drones and is increasingly at a disadvantage.
Those evil cultivators weren't entirely loyal to Chu Yanqiu. In their eyes, how much reverence and submission did they have for him? If it were Yu Chi Lian, who was giving orders, they might have diligently helped conquer the Great Jue Imperial Palace. But now, surrounded by treasures, they had long been distracted by the alluring riches and scattered in all directions to search for treasures, especially the legendary Western Palace, a sacred place that every immortal dreamed of visiting.
Not only that, ever since the young emperor stopped Shen Wen from participating in the war, strange things have happened to the young emperor's imperial guards. The soldiers have suddenly become violent and frenzied, as if they are inhuman blood talismans, and their combat power has increased many times over.
The reality that Shen Wen saw was even more cruel. Her heart sank deeper and deeper because they were no longer living people. Since the Imperial Guards had strengthened their fighting power, they were no longer living people.
A powerful demonic aura invaded all the living people here. What she saw was no longer a war in the human world, but a contest between the power of demons and the righteousness of the human world.
Because Shen Wen had witnessed everything and foreseen the consequences of this battle, sweat beaded on her forehead. Anxiously trying to stop it all, she could no longer contain herself and shouted, "Run! Everyone run! Escaping is the most important thing! Stop fighting!"
But no matter how much she shouted, these people completely ignored her, and her advice was like a stone sinking into the sea.
"They can't hear me. Since that madwoman Yuchi Lian is willing to put her most handy knife in front of me, if I don't do something, wouldn't I be letting her down?"
Shen Wen was so frightened by the sudden, ghostly voice that his whole body felt like it was being electrocuted.
Shen Wen suddenly turned around to look at the young emperor.
Shen Wen seemed to suddenly realize that the demon was indeed hidden too well. She had been testing the young emperor for so long, but she still hadn't figured out who the demon hiding in him was.
Now that the demon is willing to appear before her, how can she see it clearly?
"Why didn't I make the connection to you? You started planning all this back when Emperor Shizong was in power. After years of effort, things have progressed to the point of national subjugation and racial extinction. Of course, you feel justified in coming to reap the rewards?"
Xin Xuan, who manifested his true form in the young emperor's body, sneered and said, "This is just the beginning. I advise you to mind your own business. You've seen it all. This Great Jue Kingdom, whose fate is sealed, has more than one person who wants to destroy it. Yu Chi Lian, who manipulates your beloved, has coincidentally reached the same conclusion as me by some twist of fate."
Looking at the chaotic scene and all those dragged into hell, Shen Wen finally understood why the Five Immortals of the Western Palace had fled. It wasn't that they were heartless; they were truly powerless. Even the most powerful gods wouldn't have the ability to turn the tide.
Shen Wen gradually despaired.
Her eyes unconsciously followed the movements of Chu Yanqiu, who was now covered in blood.
Watching him being enveloped by the realm of hell, watching him become inhuman, gradually merging into the realm of hell, Shen Wen's icy hands trembled slightly without him even noticing.
She couldn't save him.
Shen Wen considered many possibilities in his mind, but found that he did not have that ability.
even
In order to think of a possibility that could drag him out of hell, she thought of Yu Chi Lian, even if Yu Chi Lian were to descend into hell like a savior at this moment and drag Chu Yanqiu out.
At this moment, the seductive voice spoke again: "Remember, if you don't help him, I'll really make you kill his closest relatives in front of him. This game can be played many times, including his parents and siblings."
Shen Wen was so annoyed by the nagging voice that she almost collapsed. She had nowhere to vent her anger and couldn't do anything. Her hands and body were trembling, but her inner principles wouldn't let her compromise. She endured the torment little by little.
No matter what, these crazy people in front of her are still human. What can she do? Pull out the weapons in her head and blow them all to smithereens? These lives that are about to go to hell were clearly the work of those ambitious people, but in the end, because of her explosion, it's all on her head.
Human lives! Human lives!
With so many lives at stake, compared to Chu Yanqiu alone, it's clear to everyone which is more important.
"I...I really can't save you...Is there really no way to save you?"
Shen Wen's muttered words expressed her grief; she was truly powerless.
She was devastated and stumbled back several steps, but luckily a pair of hands caught her from behind.
Shen Wen turned around and was surprised to see Qing Ming.
Qingming shielded her behind him, holding her wrist, and looked warily at the young emperor behind them.
Shen Wen went to see the young emperor, who was looking at Qingming with a provocative expression.
Qingming whispered to Shen Wen, "It seems he doesn't intend to let anyone here go. I'll hold him off, and you can escape in a bit. I can also see that you have considerable magical power within you. Little girl, you must be quick-witted and unleash your magical power. Perhaps that's your only chance of survival."
When Shen Wen heard him say that, it was as if she suddenly had an epiphany. Her eyes lit up. How come she had never remembered that Ji Xun had told her many times that she should use the Heart-Preserving Sword to deal with Yu Chi Lian?
Shen Wen tugged at Qing Ming's sleeve and whispered, "The demon inside this little emperor's body is very strange. Sometimes I can see it clearly, but sometimes I feel like I can't. How should we deal with him? He seems very powerful. I think you should run away first, otherwise you will be beaten badly by him."
Qingming didn't have time to say anything more to Shen Wen. The young emperor was already watching him, and now that he was here, it was too late to talk about escaping. He pulled Shen Wen behind him, as if that would shield her from the emperor's hostility.
Qingming pointed a finger at the young emperor and said, "I advise you to stop now. If you insist on turning this world into hell, even if you are a wicked cultivator higher than the heavens, you will suffer a backlash. This world is not a place you should covet. Quickly leave the young emperor's body."
The young emperor didn't take him seriously at all, and just smiled contemptuously, saying, "What is your cultivation level? How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me. If the five of you joined forces to fight me, you might have a chance to strike, but it would only be a short-lived one. It would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, courting death."
The young emperor looked at Shen Wen and said, "Why don't you turn around and take a look? Your sweetheart is about to collapse on the battlefield. Aren't you going to listen to that Yu Chi Lian's threats and quickly find a way to save your sweetheart?"
Shen Wen quickly turned to look at Chu Yanqiu, who was already exhausted and sluggish. He was even accidentally slashed in the back.
Shen Wen was so frightened by this scene that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Even so, Shen Wen restrained himself and did not impulsively bring out the firearms.
Shen Wen turned to look at the young emperor, gritting his teeth, and said, "It seems that this was all your scheme. What exactly do you want? Don't force me. You know perfectly well what Yu Chi Lian is doing. Aren't you enemies? Why are you helping her?"
The little emperor smiled wickedly and said, "Because I've discovered that you're the one I'm most interested in. I advise you to stop arguing. Are you going to make a move or not? If you don't, then your sweetheart will have to be killed by me and become my puppet. Let me remind you, becoming a qualified puppet is the same category as earth, wood, mountains, and rocks. You and her will be worlds apart forever."
Chu Yanqiu's situation behind him was becoming increasingly dangerous, as the surrounding demonic energy was becoming more and more intense, and the attack power of all the madmen was a hundred times stronger. Even after being slashed once, Chu Yanqiu unleashed his potential and burned more combat power to resist, but in the end, he could not hold on for long and was slashed again on the arm.
Shen Wen was on the verge of collapse; she felt she really couldn't hold on any longer.
However, a sliver of rational hope remained in her heart. She believed that Yu Chi Lian would not simply allow others to devour and control Chu Yanqiu.
Qingming became even more anxious. She grabbed Shen Wen's wrist again and said, "We can't delay any longer. I'll take you away now. Don't think about Chu Yanqiu, who's already half-possessed by demons."
Then, regardless of whether Shen Wen was willing or not, he made a hand seal and the two of them could instantly teleport in place.
