Chapter 120: Chapter 62: Completely Losing Composure

Shen Ruoxi suddenly stood up, her figure like the wind, wanting to rush up the mountain regardless of everything.

However, just as she was about to take a step, Jun Moling’s strong hand pressed down on her.

He looked calm, and said in a deep voice, “Ruoxi, I will have Mi Er lead people up the mountain to chase. We need to check here and be careful not to fall into Chunyu Che’s strategy of luring the enemy away.”

Shen Ruoxi was startled, her impulsiveness slightly calmed, realizing that Jun Moling was indeed right.

Chunyu Che was now at the end of his rope and would not easily expose his whereabouts.

Moreover, since her senior sister said he was hiding among the people of Peng City in Beichang, it was probably not wrong.

“Marshal, do you know what Chunyu Che looks like?” Shen Ruoxi asked anxiously.

Jun Moling nodded slightly, “I do know, but since he has a double, it might be difficult to recognize him. But I will definitely capture him. We need to search carefully, one by one.”

At this time, a man in his thirties suddenly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, “Marshal, Miss Shen, he really is Chunyu Che. I am one of his subordinates, and I couldn’t bear to see him cause so many deaths among us without revealing him.”

This was the man who had slapped and kicked the person he claimed to be Chunyu Che.

Jun Moling’s eyes were sharp, scrutinizing him, “Can I not know if he is Chunyu Che? Quickly reveal the whereabouts of the real Chunyu Che, and I will spare your life!”

The man seemed to know there was no return, and he suddenly let out a low laugh, “It’s impossible to betray my master…”

Jun Moling sensed something was wrong and was about to seize him, but the man was quicker. He suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his own heart without hesitation.

Jun Moling tried to stop him but failed. In an instant, blood splattered, and the man fell to the ground in agony, convulsing until his head tilted and he died.

Seeing his heart pierced and devoid of life, Shen Ruoxi realized there was no chance of saving him. She turned her gaze to the Beichang people in front of her.

On the ground lay two corpses. The man who claimed to be Chunyu Che had already been killed by Shen Ruoxi. The citizens of Beichang Country were terrified, kneeling and kowtowing.

Among these hundreds of people, aside from the elderly, women, and children, there were almost no young people, which made Shen Ruoxi frown slightly.

Jun Moling, with a stern face, thoroughly inspected the crowd and shook his head helplessly, “I’ve seen Chunyu Che, and I know he’s good at disguise. But I’ve checked, and he’s not here. Let them go!”

Shen Ruoxi bit her lip tightly, full of unwillingness, but she realized that Chunyu Che wasn’t here. She gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s go up the mountain and pursue.”

Jun Moling nodded slightly, and the two of them pursued toward the back mountain.

After they left, the people of Beichang quickly stopped the bleeding of the man lying in the blood, lifted him, and hurriedly headed to the ferry.

“Master, the person was captured again, but it was another of Chunyu Che’s doubles,” Mi Er said, looking frustrated.

Shen Ruoxi kicked Chunyu Che’s double, her fingers pale from clenching. The murderer of her Shen Family Army hadn’t been caught. Her heart was mixed with emotions, wanting to destroy everything.

“Ruoxi, calm down. If he’s really in Peng City, he won’t escape. Trust me!” Jun Moling pressed her shoulder firmly.

He had called her Ruoxi many times today, not Miss Shen, and only now did she realize, but she couldn’t care less about it at the moment and nodded with red eyes.

Just as she was about to leave, her whole body shuddered violently, and her face turned pale.

She grabbed the reins of Snow-Stepping, mounted the horse, and rushed toward the ferry like the wind.

Jun Moling was startled by her reaction and followed through the air, but soon saw a blurred silhouette of a person and a horse.

Jun Moling was secretly annoyed for not riding his Bright Moon. He had to use all his Qinggong skills to rush over.

Back at the ferry, the boat had already left the shore by more than twenty meters. Shen Ruoxi held a crossbow and shouted, “Chunyu Che, I know you’re on the boat. Come out, or I’ll kill everyone on board.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the elderly, women, and children of Beichang Country stood up, automatically shielding someone behind them.

The faces of these people were filled with fear and determination, tightly bonded together, forming a human barrier.

The lake breeze ruffled Shen Ruoxi’s hair. She gripped the crossbow tightly, her eyes burning with intense anger. Yet, facing these people, she hesitated for a moment.

Jun Moling hurriedly arrived at Shen Ruoxi’s side, slightly out of breath, and asked anxiously, “Ruoxi, what’s going on?”

Shen Ruoxi pressed her lips tightly and said nothing, releasing the crossbow in her hand. The bolt shot straight into the shoulder of an elder, and a piercing scream broke through the air.

Fear spread across their faces, but they remained steadfastly standing, showing no signs of retreating.

“Very good, then don’t blame me, Shen Ruoxi, for being ruthless!” Her eyes were cold as frost, and the crossbow in her hand turned toward the elderly, women, and children on the boat, her determined expression as if she wanted to destroy everything.

Just as she was about to pull the Suspended Blade, Jun Moling quickly pressed down on her hand, “Ruoxi, don’t.”

At this moment, Shen Ruoxi’s eyes were filled with fury as she shouted, “Release me! The people of Beichang Country killed so many of us. I can spare their citizens, but I will never let Chunyu Che go. If they want to protect him, they are against me, Shen Ruoxi! I will kill him!”

“Chunyu Che is on the boat?” Jun Moling asked in shock while holding her hand.

“Jun Moling, let go of me!” Shen Ruoxi glared angrily at Jun Moling, as the boat drifted further away, her voice growing more desperate and furious.

He had never seen Shen Ruoxi so out of control. She was always calm and collected, as if everything was in hand. Now, she even called his name.

A dull pain crossed his heart. Back then, she was only fourteen years old, yet she had suffered hellish pain.

Facing the murderer of their Shen Family Army, she couldn’t remain calm. He completely understood.

“Ruoxi, in the war between two countries, we can’t harm civilians. I checked, and Chunyu Che is genuinely not among them.”

Jun Moling tried to persuade her softly, feeling truly pained by her current state.

“It was that self-harming person!” Shen Ruoxi shouted hoarsely, her voice filled with anger and resentment.

“How is that possible?” Jun Moling asked incredulously, “Wasn’t he dead?”

Originally, Shen Ruoxi thought he wouldn’t survive, so she didn’t pay attention.

On the mountain, upon learning that the caught person was another of Chunyu Che’s doubles, she suddenly realized that her senior sister’s information couldn’t be wrong.

Yet Jun Moling had checked, and Chunyu Che wasn’t among the civilians.

Which meant, Chunyu Che was either the first person she killed or the self-harming person!

When she acted, she knew the person couldn’t survive, so that left only the self-harming person.

At that time, he stabbed his heart, and she assumed he was doomed, so she didn’t check.

As a healer, she knew that exceptionally few people have hearts on the left side. His harsh self-harming act was just an injury actually.

He was the only one neither she nor Jun Moling carefully examined. So, he was Chunyu Che, and she absolutely couldn’t allow Chunyu Che to escape back to Beichang Country!

She must use his life to pay homage to the fallen spirits of their Shen Family Army.

Shen Ruoxi fiercely pushed Jun Moling away and flew toward the lakeside without hesitation.
