Chapter 894 Cut the Tangle With a Swift Blade

Chapter 895: Cut the Tangle with a Swift Blade The moment those wailing, desperate cries for help rang out, they struck some like a sudden clap of thunder from a clear sky. Yu Yifu, who had been chasing close behind and rapidly closing the distance, was utterly dumbfounded. His pursuit slowed, and a dazed confusion surfaced in his eyes. The Shanbu group had spent so long in Yanfu Prefecture, putting in such tremendous effort—wasn't the entire point to seize the advantage of knowing first? But now that that brute had yelled it out to everyone, there was no advantage left. The result had already been made public. Everyone now knew the truth, and everyone had a completely legitimate reason. Whoever captured the mount could no longer hide anything. Would it even be worth it to snatch the person or the mount, only to face a desperate combined assault from everyone else? Murong Wu'ai, pushing forward with all his might behind them, was equally stunned. A secret that belonged to the Heavenly Court—how could that big oaf just yell it out so casually? It wasn't as if I wasn't coming to rescue you. You Ben, Xie Lingao, and Lu Xun, hearing the sound in quick succession, also found themselves plunged into sudden bewilderment, to the point of nearly losing interest in the chase entirely. Because they knew perfectly well: once Wu Jinliang, the person in question, had publicly shouted that line, the matter was no longer in their hands. No matter who seized the initiative or how well the truth was concealed, it was all useless now. After toiling for most of a year, to have it end like this—for a moment, they truly felt at a loss. Yu Yifu could only watch helplessly as Murong Wu'ai and the other Heavenly Court members swooshed right past him, watching as they overtook his group. He had lost the spirit to fight or to seize.
