"Jiu Yu, don't go too far. This is the human world." Helian Yi said.

"That's right. This is the human world. If you care about that woman, you'd better not waste any more time. After a while, no one can guarantee whether that woman will live or die." Jiuyu reminded Helian Chen, it is best to quickly agree, lest night long.

"Fine, I promise you, but you have to listen to me. If you don't get rid of Mingxiu this time, and he attacks me in the future, I will definitely not let him off." Helian Yi said through gritted teeth.

"I don't need you to say this, I will handle it for you. Rumor has it that Yan Kai took a fancy to your woman, and I believe that it is because of this that he did not start a massacre of the human world. I never thought that you, as the emperor of the human world and the second prince of the Illusory Realm, would actually use a woman to exchange for peace."

"Shut your mouth. Don't be jealous of yourself losing to Yan Kai. This is a matter between Yan Kai and I. I will take care of this matter myself. It is better that you wish for good fortune." Helian Yi Chen endured, suppressing his anger. He could not fall into Jiuyu's trap, as he was facing a great enemy.

Right now, Han'er had already returned to the palace. As long as he was able to save the little girl, she would definitely return to the palace. No matter how arrogant Yan Kai was, he would not dare to snatch her away under his watch.

Even so, there was still a fire burning in Helian Chen's heart. Jiu Yu had not provoked him for a day or two, from the matter of Han'er being possessed to Yan Kai being, each and every one of them had something to do with him. If it wasn't for him as scheduled, all of this wouldn't have happened today.

"Sigh, why did we brothers become like this?" Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiu Yu sighed.

"Shut up, I, Helian Yi, don't have a brother like you. Jiu Yu, do you think you can find Mingxiu's whereabouts?" Helian Yi didn't want to continue listening to Jiu Yu's nonsense. At this moment, he just wanted to find Xue'er and return to Reno Kingdom as soon as possible.

"Of course, he should be somewhere in the mountain right now." Jiu Yu withdrew his expression and pointed to the mountain road ahead.

"In the mountains?" From a normal person's point of view, Elder Ming was not a human being. Moreover, no one had been investigated in the palace, even the entire Imperial City had been investigated. In this way, it seemed that there was the most possibility, and this place was also the safest place, so it was the least likely to be found.

"Let's go. Mingxiu is a cunning old fox. We both have to be careful so we don't force him into a corner and make a move against Situ Luoxue." As Jiu Yu spoke, he leapt up, and Jiu Yu followed closely behind.

After about an hour, Jiu Yu stopped in front of a mountain shrouded in mist.

"Do you have a good way to break through his barrier without him noticing?" Jiu Yu gazed at the foot of the mountain as he spoke.

"Not at the moment. We might not have to break through his spirit formation. As long as we can break through his spirit formation, that's fine." Helian bathed Chen's eyes on the mountain road.

"If you can break through, enter. This King does not have the ability to do so." As Jiu Yu spoke, he walked over to the side and acted like he wasn't going to go in and save them.

"As the king of the Illusory Realm, you don't even have this bit of ability? Even though Ming Xiu is an elder of the Illusory Realm, his barrier definitely has its own flaws. " Helian Yi said angrily.

"If it's really like you said, then he won't escape to the Mortal Realm. I don't know." Jiu Yu sighed. Even as a king, not everything was within his control. On the contrary, everything was restricted. Just like Yan Kai's matter where the Illusory Realm suffered great casualties, he, as a king, had become the target of public criticism.

"Then how long are you confident you'll be able to break his barrier?" Helian Yi looked carefully, searching for a way to break through the barrier.

"Aren't you worried that he will use Situ Luoxue as a hostage?" Jiuyu was slightly startled.

"But if we remain deadlocked like this, the one who will be hurt in the end will still be the little girl." Helian Yi wanted to do this, but it had to be done. She couldn't let him keep Xue'er trapped. That way …

Suddenly, a person's image appeared in his mind. Nangong Yu, since he captured Xue'er because of Nangong Yu, he would definitely make a request. As long as he knew of the request and lured Ming Chu to bring Xue'er out, he would be able to capture her easily.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back." Helian Yi said happily.

"Do you have a way?" Jiuyu asked doubtfully.

"Of course, other than Mingxiu's ambition, there should also be someone else's ambition when the girl is captured. As long as that person is found and his goal is found, Mingxiu can be pulled out of the Spirit Formation."

Helian Yi looked at Jiu Yu. If he hesitated for a moment, he would not be able to trust Jiu Yu. If he was allowed to stay here, there would be problems. By then, it would be too late to regret.

"Alright, you go find that person. I'll guard here." Jiu Yu nodded and urged.

"I know that person, so there's quite a bit of inconvenience. How about you enter the palace and bring him out? Let's get to the bottom of this." Jiu Yu pondered for a moment before replying.

"You want to exchange hostages?" Jiuyu gazed at Helian Xi Chen. Seeing that he didn't answer, she understood a little, so she continued, "Okay, I'll go with you."

It was not yet dark, so they could not brazenly barge in, so they let the guards report to the palace. Fortunately, Helian Yi had worked hard, and they did not find it difficult for the guards to report to Nangong Yu.

"Brother Helian, this Young Master?" When Nangong Yu saw that Helian Xi had brought someone here, he was a little surprised. However, looking at Jiu Yu's age, he couldn't believe it.

"This is Jiu Yu, the master of that Elder Ming, Nangong Yu. Do they have any conditions for you?" Helian Yi Chen did not intend to introduce the two of them, but explained it to them.

"Yes, they want me to acknowledge my position in five days, there are still two days until the fifth day. But I'm worried about the demon, so even though I've already written the letter of abdication, there is some hesitation. If my Southern Qing Country falls into the hands of the demon, then I will become a sinner of the Southern Qing Country, placing tens of thousands of citizens in the fire and water." Nangong Yu voiced out his worries, hoping Helian Xi Chen would understand his difficulties.

"Then just do as he says. I can guarantee that the demon will definitely get his retribution. The Kingdom of Nanqing definitely will not fall into his hands." Jiu Yu promised Nangong Yu.

"With Brother Helian's words, I am relieved. I will send someone to invite Nangong Cheng. The two of you, please rest in my palace for a moment." After receiving Helian Chen's promise, his heart was much more at ease.

"Alright, thank you Brother Nangong." In front of Jiuyu, Helian Yi Chen was much more gentle, the coldness on his face also lessened.

"Fu Quan, bring the two esteemed guests to the Windy Pavilion." Nangong Yu immediately sent someone to lead the Helian brothers to rest.

Now that Nangong Yu had sent people over, he did not ask anything and headed over happily. Yesterday, after Nangong Yu left, he thought again and again, now that he was riding a tiger and could not back down, he finally might not be able to get the throne. No matter what, Nangong Yu could not be left alive, leaving Nangong Yu behind would definitely leave him with a bad taste in his mouth for tens of thousands of years.

Right now, as long as he was able to write the letter of abdication, he would immediately leave the room. Originally, he had planned to kill Nangong Yu after he succeeded the throne, but Nangong Yu's words that day made him change his mind.

When he entered the palace this time, he only needed to obtain the letter of abdication and the Imperial Jade Seal. The general situation would be set. At that time, he would have no problem killing Nangong Yu.

This time, Nangong Cheng was much more obedient, the moment they entered the palace, he immediately knelt down before Nangong Yu.

"Royal brother, your servant brother was wrong. Please forgive me."

With regards to Nangong Cheng's sudden appearance and kneeling, Nangong Yu was truly frightened. It was as if he had become a completely different person. It was completely different from the eighth prince brother who had argued with him and chased him away.

"Eighth prince's younger brother, quickly get up. Before you make a great mistake, you can still repent in time. I promise you, as long as you break off your relationship with the demon, I will not be the emperor." Nangong Yu went forward to support his little brother, and said with happiness.

"Royal brother, is what you said true?" Tears still hung in Nangong Cheng's eyes as he excitedly held Nangong Yu's hand.

Nangong Yu said sincerely, "Yes, as you said, I originally did not plan to become the emperor because of Xue'er, but you must promise me, after becoming the emperor, you must work hard at governing and loving your people, and must not let your Southern Qing Country be destroyed by your hands …"

It didn't matter who the emperor was. As long as he could manage the rivers and mountains well and allow the citizens to live a comfortable life, it would be good enough for the emperor.

"I promise you that the hundreds and thousands of years of history of the Nangong Family will not be destroyed by me. But Your Majesty, you must abide by your promise. I will let you leave with Situ Luoxue. From now on, you will never enter the borders of the Southern Qing Country." Nangong Cheng said viciously as tears streamed down his face.

Eighth brother, the Queen Mother is still alive, how can a person be unfilial? I can give you the throne, but before the Queen Mother has a life, the son must be filial and obedient. You don't have to worry if I still cherish the Dragon Throne. Nangong Yu faced his younger brother and said with a stern voice.

He could not be the emperor, but he had to see his mother. As a child, if he could not be filial, how could he be human?

"You don't have to worry about that. Once I succeed the throne, mother will still be the empress dowager. I'll take good care of her and do a little more filial duty for you. You don't have to worry about that at all." Nangong Cheng viciously said.

"Eighth brother, can you really do it?" Nangong Yu looked at his little brother and felt that he was not real. At this moment, Nangong Cheng Li seemed to be too far away, he had an untouchable feeling.

"Of course, you and I are brothers. Don't you know who I am? If you don't believe me, I swear it. " As Nangong Cheng said this, he pointed his finger at the sky and swore, "Please bear witness from the heavens. If I, Nangong Cheng, am not able to be filial to my mother after ascending the throne, then I will lose my most beloved life.

Seeing Nangong Cheng swear such a vow, Nangong Yu no longer had any doubts. Thinking of Luo Xue who was still in the demon's hands, he said, "Eighth brother, can you let Xue'er go now?"

"Royal brother, you're still the emperor right now. If I let Situ Luoxue go, wouldn't it be a waste of your authority to regret it? As long as the emperor hands over the Imperial Jade Seal and the letter of abdication, I can release Situ Luoxue." Nangong Cheng said with a calculating look.

"Good. This is the letter of agreement. When I see Situ Luoxue, I will hand the Imperial Jade Seal over to you." Nangong Yu would not be so easily fooled, he had only handed the letter of surrender to Nangong Cheng. As for the Imperial Jade Seal, he would definitely not hand it over if he could not see Luo Xue.
