Chapter 254: Bloodbath at Prince Mo Residence (4)
Dugu Chen had just arrived when Wan Hun emerged in a flash. Xuan Yue and Huang Yi looked at each other, their tense faces on guard as they stared at this person.
"Where is the princess?" His face was ashen, lips tightly pressed together, and a few cold words burst forth from his mouth.
"The master was abducted by people from Prince Mo Residence, whereabouts unknown." Wan Hun lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of the War God, which glowed with a faint red hue.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Chen’s hands clenched so tightly that veins bulged violently, his aura of fury escalating in an instant. The robes, stirred by an unfelt wind, billowed loudly. The eyes that were pale red just moments ago were now a piercing blood red.
Seeing this, Xuan Yue and Huang Yi were even more anxious. It had been a long time since their lord had shown such anger. Everyone knew the War God was a slaughter-crazed maniac, but who could have imagined a ten-year-old child slaughtering enemies on the battlefield, falling only to rise again, his body bearing numerous wounds of all sizes. It took ten years to forge a pure-hearted child into a hardened warrior.
He knew well that to be lenient with an enemy was to be cruel to oneself, so with sheer determination he climbed up from a soldier, stepping over countless corpses, to where he was today. Hence the enemy had given this young commander such a title. But through some people’s deliberate dissemination, the War God became known as a killer, and his own lord never bothered to explain.
"Master." Xuan Yue tried to rouse their enraged master, fearing that today might result in a bloodbath at Prince Mo Residence.
"Convene the Iron Cavalry Army outside the city, surround Prince Mo Residence; don’t even let a fly escape," Dugu Chen ordered, regaining his senses at Xuan Yue’s call, starting to mobilize his most effective troops to encircle Prince Mo Residence, all to rescue his beloved woman.
"Understood." Xuan Yue and Huang Yi exchanged glances before leaping away, heading straight for the Iron Cavalry Army thirty miles outside the Capital City.
"Take me to the place where she was taken." Hoping he might find a clue at the scene of abduction.
Wan Hun leapt several times with a burst of energy and arrived at the most secluded courtyard in the back.
After searching around and finding not a single clue, the War God didn’t believe it and started searching again. Just as he was about to give in to despair, behind the step-up bed in the bedroom, he discovered a mechanism. Pressing it down, a secret tunnel unexpectedly appeared.
Without regard for the danger, he darted into the passageway, and after taking two turns, he left the tunnel, only to discover an empty room. Huang Yi quietly glanced at his lord and, seeing that aside from a ghastly complexion, everything else seemed fine, he stealthily wiped sweat from his forehead.
Looking at the vacant room and gritting his teeth, his temples throbbing visibly, he closed his eyes, struggling to control his anger, to stay calm. His woman was still in the clutches of Prince Mo, he couldn’t act recklessly. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Huang Yi, mobilize the Hidden Guard, command them to search. Even if they must dig three feet into the ground, do not miss a single corner," Dugu Chen ordered, opening his eyes as cold as frost and sweeping his gaze to Huang Yi.
"Yes, Master." Taking the order, Huang Yi stepped out into the courtyard and shot a pyrotechnic tube into the sky that burst open, releasing a pale blue firework.
Within moments, nearby Hidden Guard upon seeing the fireworks quickly rushed over.
Dugu Chen glanced at the twenty-some people kneeling on the ground, "Search discreetly. Find other secret passages. We must locate the princess."
"Understood." As soon as the words fell, the figures were gone.
Meanwhile, Dugu Mo, basking in success in the front courtyard, heard from his guard that a number of people clad in black had entered the residence. Dugu Mo merely curled the corner of his mouth, twirling his ring, his eyes half-closed, a cold laugh in his heart. Even if you turn Prince Mo Residence upside down, Dugu Chen, you still won’t find Feng Xuxu. Did you think I’d be foolish enough to keep her here waiting for you to search? Haha, I wonder if you’ll be satisfied with what your search yields.
