Chapter 347: The Red Clad Bride Isn't Yun Yun? Yun Shan Falls!
In Xiao Yan's eyes, Yun Shan's mouth once again spewed out a mist of blood. Then, his head tilted, and his body plummeted rapidly toward the ground…
On the surface, Yun Shan's body bore no visible wounds; he looked exactly the same as before. However, the blood he had just coughed up, mixed with fragments of his internal organs, was enough to show that he had suffered a fatal injury.
Watching Yun Shan's rapid descent, the people on the ground felt their legs go weak.
The shockwaves from the explosion alone had made them feel as if they were at death's door.
If not for the scarlet Dou Qi flames surrounding them, they would have been completely annihilated just moments ago.
Everyone knew
The attack that had just decimated Yun Shan was impossible for Xiao Yan to have unleashed.
He was merely a Da Dou Shi.
There was no way he could have done something like that.
So
All eyes turned toward the young man floating in the sky.
Only he…
Had the ability to pull off such a move
Killing with borrowed hands.
But unlike the others, Gu He's gaze was fixed on the red clad woman beside him.
Something… felt off.
Yun Shan was her teacher.
Regardless of what he had become, Yun Yun had once been deeply grateful to him.
As her mentor, he had genuinely guided her in the past.
There was no way she could be this indifferent.
By Gu He's estimation, if this woman was really Yun Yun, she would have ripped off her veil in horror.
Her face would have turned deathly pale, and her knees would have gone weak, forcing her to collapse onto the ground.
And that would have been his chance!
Gu He had already imagined himself reaching out, grabbing her delicate arm, pulling her into his embrace
Maybe even accidentally brushing against certain places…
It was a perfect opportunity to get closer before the wedding night!
But…
None of that happened.
The red clad bride beside him stood still, completely unfazed.
Just like when Wu Tian had arrived, she had shown zero reaction.
Before, Gu He had assumed she was just acting.
But now, with her teacher on the verge of death, why would she still be pretending?
A terrifying thought struck Gu He's mind
The woman beside him…
Wasn't Yun Yun!!!
His eyes sharpened in alarm.
Then, with an intense, penetrating stare, he pointed a trembling finger at the red clad woman and shouted:
"You're not Yun Yun! Who the hell are you?!"
His outburst made Nalan Yanran's expression change drastically.
Hearing Gu He's words, she suddenly realized
Her teacher… really had been acting strange all day.
Her grandmaster was gravely injured, yet Yun Yun, her gentle and kind hearted teacher, had shown no reaction at all.
That was not like her.
And yet
The red clad woman remained completely motionless, as if Gu He's words were nothing more than a passing breeze.
This blatant disregard made Gu He's face turn dark.
As a Sixth Tier Alchemist, he had never been ignored like this before.
This was beyond humiliating.
But right now, his greatest concern wasn't his wounded pride.
It was
Where was the real Yun Yun?!
At that moment
Yun Shan's lifeforce was rapidly fading.
As the last trace of his aura dissipated, the veteran warriors watching from the foot of Yun Lan Mountain all let out deep sighs.
Once
They had respected him.
Now
They pitied him.
Yun Shan had walked the path of no return
And this was his fate.
"From now on, Yun Lan Sect will likely be erased from the Jia Ma Empire."
"Boom!"
A heavy thud echoed as Yun Shan's lifeless body slammed into the ground.
His face was now drenched in blood
Yet…
There was no trace of regret on his face.
Instead
His lips curled into a smile.
A strange, unreadable smile.
Floating above, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed.
Why… was Yun Shan smiling?
He was dead.
What was there to smile about?
Xiao Yan didn't understand.
And honestly
He didn't care.
After all
He was nothing more than a puppet, controlled by Wu Tian.
Escape?
Impossible.
So
He had given up resisting.
Maybe…
Being controlled by Wu Tian wasn't so bad after all.
At least
It made him strong.
Over time, Wu Tian had slowly broken his spirit.
Xiao Yan had come to accept his fate.
Without Wu Tian's intervention, he would have already died.
Now?
He wasn't sure why he was still alive.
He wasn't like Nalan Yanran, who had become Wu Tian's friend.
He wasn't like Gu He, a valuable alchemist.
He wasn't even like Yao Chen, a loyal follower.
So why?
Was it because Wu Tian hated him?
Or was it something else?
Xiao Yan couldn't figure it out.
If Wu Tian truly hated him, then why not just kill him outright?
Like he had done with so many others?
A single flame would have been enough to reduce him to ashes.
But instead
Wu Tian kept him alive.
Tortured him.
Mocked him.
But never let him die.
Why?
Because he had once desired Wu Tian's woman?
Was that all?
If so, why not just end it quickly?
Xiao Yan didn't understand Wu Tian's intentions at all.
But
Understanding was pointless.
Because at this moment
He just wanted to live.
After witnessing the merciless slaughter unleashed by the Hall of Souls, he had become truly terrified of death.
This wasn't just dying
It was total annihilation.
His soul would be erased from existence.
No reincarnation.
No second chances.
Just oblivion.
So, instead of dwelling on Yun Shan
Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward Wu Tian
The man who now owned his fate.
Xiao Yan knew
Wu Tian had made him kill Yun Shan for a reason.
This wasn't random.
It was part of a greater scheme.
But what?
What was Wu Tian really after?
Meanwhile, Medusa
Who had been silently watching Wu Tian
Smiled knowingly.
Others might not understand Wu Tian's actions.
But as his woman, she understood completely.
Wu Tian had orchestrated Yun Shan's death for one reason
Yun Yun.
Why?
That
Remained to be seen.
At the same time
The five Hall of Souls envoys had now completely sealed off Yun Lan Mountain.
A terrifying formation was taking shape
And Wu Tian
Merely smirked in amusement.
"You've already obtained what you came for."
"The Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade is in your hands."
"So tell me…"
"Are you planning to return it?"
