Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 677 - 640: First Update_3

Indeed, Nanmen Yu did not have the ability to predict from which direction Young Master Yin He and another would escape. The ambush he set up centered around the cave was purely circular, and that the two guards were knocked down was purely coincidental.

Xing Yu looked around suspiciously, even Yin He began to feel strange, and no one responded. Logically, if they could set an ambush here, it meant that Nanmen Yu already knew they were going to run away; how could there be no backup plan?

"Let’s go —" Yin He whispered. At this moment, they could only take it one step at a time.

But just as Xing Yu took that step, all her doubts were finally resolved. A stream of blue smoke instantly surged from the darkness, and Xing Yu and Yin He ran right into it, as if hitting a rock, causing Xing Yu to be struck almost unconscious, and both of them fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Over there —" The blue light that burst through the darkness immediately revealed their location to the approaching people of Nanmen Yu.

Xing Yu, ignoring her pain, quickly got up to help Yin He on the ground.

Yin He felt blood surging in his chest, almost fainting, but the intense pain surprisingly made him exceptionally clear-headed.

"Yin He, we need to hurry." Xing Yu now understood that what Yin He said was right. Nanmen Yu had planned to capture them from the start. She had been foolishly hopeful, thinking Nanmen Yu wouldn’t be so cruel.

"We can’t leave —" Yin He coughed up blood, his entire body in severe pain, a sensation of being trapped by a spell. Xing Yu was not a practitioner, so she did not feel anything.

Although he did not know what spell it was, its severity had already exceeded his expectations. If he had not been seriously injured, perhaps he could have tried something.

Upon hearing this, Xing Yu cautiously stretched out her hand, and indeed a flash of blue light pierced through the darkness, shooting up into the air. Xing Yu’s hand was rebounded, the sensation even more intense, her fingertips burning as if scorched by fire.

"Yin He, what is this?" Xing Yu now believed him and moved closer to Yin He.

Yin He shook his head; he did not know either, but it was definitely a spell. He did not know who was casting the spells, but the range indicated that the adversary was not weak.

"What do we do now?" Xing Yu, somewhat anxious, tried to carry Yin He. "Let’s try a different direction."

"It’s useless, if I guess right, we can’t get out within this range." Yin He felt slight changes in the air, glanced around, and saw the moisture in the air condensing in front of them, which already explained everything.

Xing Yu was dumbfounded midair.

"Don’t be afraid, we are not completely out of options." Yin He, seeing anxious Xing Yu, spoke again, looking behind him where they both now heard sounds approaching.

Xing Yu moved in the direction of Yin He, and soon, in the darkness, the voices grew closer, followed by the appearance of the guards from Nanmen State in Yin He and Xing Yu’s sight.

Yin He let out a cold laugh, while Xing Yu lowered her head, nervously clutching at her clothing.

The first guards who arrived also did not speak, encircling Yin He and Xing Yu, until Nanmen Yu arrived and then they made space.

Nanmen Yu stepped forward, looked at the two shadows in the darkness, and gathered his thoughts before he spoke first.

"Young Master Yin He." Nanmen Yu said calmly, gesturing to the guards to take Xing Yu away.

"I’m not going, Heir of Nanmen, I’ll stay here. Wherever Yin He is, I’ll be there."

Nanmen Yu looked at Xing Yu, who was extremely emotional in the darkness before he spoke first.

"Xing Yu, this is a matter between Nanmen State and Ghoul Ravine."

"You’re lying, didn’t you say you would save him? Now instead, you’re capturing him, you liar." Xing Yu confronted Nanmen Yu, angrily staring at him.

The guard, alarmed, knowing their king highly valued Miss Xing Yu, who originated from a close friend of the king, did not dare to neglect her.

"Miss Xing Yu, the practices of Ghoul Ravine were originally thieved from our Nanmen State’s spells. Now, we want to reclaim these spells also for the people of Nanmen State." The guard hurriedly said, their king, too, was left with no choice, so Miss Xing Yu, please don’t blame our king.

Nanmen Yu remained silent, seeing that Xing Yu would not leave, and had no choice but to give up.

"Take everyone away."

"Wait, Nanmen Yu, aren’t you curious about the spells of Ghoul Ravine?" Yin He suddenly spoke, amidst the firelight, the youth looked at Nanmen Yu, sitting on the ground, trying to appear very calm, only Xing Yu knew that he didn’t even have the strength to stand.

Nanmen Yu indeed looked at Yin He, it appeared his people weren’t wrong, he did possess those spells.

"If you want to know, then let them back off. I will only speak to you alone about these spells." Yin He said slowly.
