269: Detonating Damon Kyoto City
Actually, White Gaze had already escaped, and Gu Xiaoyue could have completely concealed herself and retreated, but she preferred to play with Bai Shengrui for a little longer.
Bai Rongxuan's subordinates should have been dispatched nearby by Qian Ce, and besides, she was currently coercing Bai Shengrui, so this game should be even more fun!
"Mr. Gu, do you think you can leave under the encirclement of these Beastmasters?"
Bai Shengrui snorted coldly, looking at Gu Xiaoyue out of the corner of his eye, trying to see a panicked expression on her face.
"Then, Prince Sheng, guess if there will be spies among these people, specially sent by Lord Rong to take your life?"
Gu Xiaoyue leaned close to Bai Shengrui's ear, whispering softly, but her words were as cold as the frost of the twelfth lunar month.
Bai Shengrui curled his lips, about to retort, when he saw that one of the Beastmasters had already launched an attack on them!
Gu Xiaoyue's mind moved, and a row of Earth Shields covered them without any blind spots.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that this Prince has been taken hostage! You don't want to—"
Bai Shengrui cursed, not noticing that the person was actually Qian Ce wearing a mask!
"Then why don't you make them all withdraw?!"
Gu Xiaoyue exerted a little more force, and another thin cut appeared on Bai Shengrui's neck.
Bai Shengrui was still hesitating; he also knew that if he let Gu Xiaoyue escape today, he might never be able to control her again in this lifetime!
It was one thing if Gu Xiaoyue was in Damon, but if she returned to Dragon Country, not to mention the countless high-level Beastmasters in Dragon Country.
If they really sent Beastmasters to Dragon Country to hunt down Gu Xiaoyue, escalating to a national level, Dragon Country might make Damon pay an even greater price at that time!
Gu Xiaoyue gave Qian Ce in the sky a look, knowing that most of the other Beastmasters were still hesitant and would not act rashly.
So, it would be better to go with the flow and send Bai Rongxuan a small gift—
During the standoff, Duan Yao and Charlie, bringing ten shadow guards dispatched by Bai Rongxuan, directly dealt with most of the Beastmasters. The few who resisted were also injured by snipers arranged by Qian Ce nearby.
Although snipers don't do much damage to high-level pet beasts with thick hides, in this tall building, they could still have a deterrent effect on Beastmasters standing on their pet beasts during the confrontation.
"Hmph, no wonder Mr. Gu was so calm; it turns out he had already arranged for reinforcements!"
Bai Shengrui's kidnapping of White Gaze this time was indeed not in collusion with Bai Rongxuan, but only at Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi's instigation.
Now that Gu Xiaoyue suddenly had these extra people, even a fool would know whose doing it was!
"It's just that this is Damon Kyoto after all, so even if you subdue them, it's useless.
I bet you won't kill me, but as long as you dare to let me go, the entire Kyoto will be airtight, and Mr. Gu will never be able to escape!"
"Since Prince Sheng knew I had already arrived in Kyoto, how could I not make any preparations and just come to fight?
Actually, I didn't want to do this, but Prince Sheng's attitude really made me very dissatisfied!"
Gu Xiaoyue took out the bomb detonator and casually pressed a button—
The National Treasury building, which housed Damon's rare metals, became the grandest fireworks display in Damon Kyoto!
The huge explosion even made the surface of the earth tremble slightly!
Gu Xiaoyue raised an eyebrow; she hadn't expected the bomb Qian Ce gave her to have such power, illuminating the night sky with the fire of the explosion!
"Oh dear, I pressed the wrong one!
Actually, I wanted to press this one—"
She pressed another button, and two not-so-small warehouses exploded simultaneously!
At this moment, Bai Shengrui's face was ashen. Her two casual presses might set Damon's entire economic environment back by ten years!
"You're even less likely to—"
The unspoken threat was choked in Bai Shengrui's throat as Gu Xiaoyue detonated two more bombs inside the palace.
"Prince Sheng should be grateful that it's only a loss of property!"
Gu Xiaoyue retracted her knife, and with a swift motion, slashed fiercely across Bai Shengrui's right arm and right leg. Immediately, the cuts tore open the flesh, bleeding profusely!
"Go back and persuade Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi not to fantasize about finding Zheng Jie's whereabouts again; I've already arranged for her to go to Dragon Country! And you, figuring out how to end this situation today is the real business!"
The knife in Gu Xiaoyue's hand flashed towards Bai Shengrui's eyes, and as he dodged, she directly leaped from the rooftop!
When Bai Shengrui opened his eyes again, Gu Xiaoyue was nowhere to be seen!
"Come here! Chase her for me! Someone!"
He thought that no one dared to come forward earlier because he was being held hostage, but he had no idea that the two floors of personnel in the building had already been subdued by Qian Ce and He Zhichen.
Gu Xiaoyue elegantly summoned Qingqing in mid-air and rode on her back, swiftly departing.
Duan Yao and Qian Ce's flying pet beasts were also fast, following closely.
"The brain is still with me; isn't she waiting for me?"
Qian Ce muttered to himself. Now that Damon Kyoto was in chaos, he should add more fuel to the fire.
There was also the convoy dispatched from Bai Rongxuan; he had sent a message to them to continue honking and driving wildly around Kyoto before dawn.
They hesitated for a moment, perhaps having consulted Bai Rongxuan, and only agreed after receiving instructions.
Anyway, they were all forces Bai Rongxuan had planted under Bai Shengrui, so there was naturally a scapegoat.
With Kyoto in its current state, one more convoy causing trouble wouldn't make much difference!
Bai Rongxuan, learning that Kyoto was in chaos while in his mansion, gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
Even so, Mr. Gu had already thought out a retreat and plan for himself early on, and could gain more trust and favor from his father.
Was this not a cruel form of gentle consideration?
White Gaze and Shui Lingyu had already been arranged by Chu Li into the Youming Tiger's hidden space. Gu Xiaoyue naturally took advantage of the convoy's disruption in Kyoto City, and after landing, took a car to the border of Kyoto.
Qian Ce returned the brain to Gu Xiaoyue, and she and Chu Li set a meeting point to go to the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm together!
Actually, with her and Chu Li and White Gaze's tacit understanding, going directly to the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm was not impossible.
It's just that Gu Xiaoyue didn't want to gamble. If Bai Rongxuan or Bai Shengrui still had some strength left and arranged a little tail for her, then it would be easy for them to enter the Secret Realm, but much more troublesome to come out and return to Dragon Country!
Entering the Youming Tiger's hidden space, Gu Xiaoyue looked back at the smoke-filled Damon Kyoto and slowly exhaled.
This was not her original intention, but ever since Bai Shengrui and Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi used White Gaze as a bargaining chip to threaten her, they should have been aware of the backlash!
When she saw White Gaze again, he turned his face away, his back to her.
He didn't want Gu Xiaoyue to see his golden eyes in his half-beast state, or the injuries all over his body from being beaten.
But one of his wings had been severed, and his hands couldn't cover his wounds.
Gu Xiaoyue said nothing, raising her hand as a water ball gathered in her palm, and began to perform Water Therapy on White Gaze.
A comfortable, cool sensation enveloped White Gaze's body, slowly healing his wounds.
White Gaze, possessing divine beast bloodline, naturally recovered much faster than ordinary people.
In less than an hour, not only did the wounds on his body gradually heal, but his beast form also slowly disappeared.
However, the place where his wing was severed on his back left a deep scar that would likely never be removed in this lifetime.
"Sister, I'm sorry! Because of me—"
White Gaze started with an apology, and Gu Xiaoyue lightly patted his head with a flick of her hand.
"Saying that again! Then shouldn't I blame myself for getting involved in the messy business of resisting the beast tide?
That way, I wouldn't have been thrown into the Space-Time Rift and transmigrated to Damon at that time!
Leading to so many karmic entanglements later on!"
Gu Xiaoyue's sharp retort left White Gaze speechless, and he could only lower his eyes, looking obedient.
"Hand over the keys. We'll go directly into the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm in a bit to bring Zheng Yi out!
I specifically told Bai Shengrui earlier that I had already sent Aunt Zheng to Dragon Country; he will definitely tell Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi, it's just—
They probably won't have the manpower to chase after her in Dragon Country for a while. I want to use this time difference to send Zheng Yi to Country of the Setting Sun!"
Charlie, after all, had been a viscount in Country of the Setting Sun for over ten years, so he must have some connections, and settling someone should be easy, right?
The difficulty now was White Gaze and Zheng Jie's identities in Dragon Country; they needed legitimate identities to be safely sent to Country of the Setting Sun.
White Gaze obediently took out all the keys, stuffing all 99 of them into Gu Xiaoyue's hand.
"Sister, I know that after we bring Mother out, I should never return.
So, why not give all the keys to you, to dispose of as you wish!"
