Looking at the others, Ji Xingzhi frowned: "Why are there only nine of you? Where's the other one?"

The ten hidden guards of Wuzhou Gate had always been with her. Just before she was captured, there were ten of them, so why were there only nine now? Had they been sacrificed?

The man in black looked at Ji Xingzhi with a somewhat evasive gaze, and said hesitantly, "Go back... and report the news."

Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly, lost in thought. She had already dispatched all the men from the Five Provinces Gate. Besides the Five Provinces Gate, the only two people who knew she had a secret guard were Zhou Zheng and Wu Fang. Zhou Zheng was stationed at the Five Provinces Gate, and such a large place couldn't be left alone. The secret guard had likely gone into the palace to look for Wu Fang.

Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi's face darkened. No, how could the secret guards have known about the attack and gone to inform Wu Fang in advance? It seemed that they had already gone there when she was captured.

After thinking about it, Ji Xingzhi's face turned slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Should I tell you guys not to expose my whereabouts casually?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nine hidden guards were shocked at the same time. Everyone in the Wuzhou Sect knew that what the Sect Master hated most was people exposing their whereabouts without permission.

Without caring about their injuries, the nine secret guards knelt down and apologized.

One of the guards whispered back, "Master, I'm just worried about your safety. After all, that group of people is too suspicious. After fighting with them just now, I suspect they are the ones you're looking for."

Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's face changed: "How dare you hide here!"

That group of strange men in black disappeared without a trace after assassinating Ling Lan and escaping. No wonder Song Tingwei couldn't find them. It turns out they were hiding here.

It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack!

Ji Xingzhi was silent for a long time, then ordered the secret guards, "Go back to the palace and find Wu Fang. Tell him not to act rashly."

"Master, what will you do if we leave?" the hidden guard asked worriedly.

Ji Xingzhi glanced at the hidden guards, none of whom were uninjured, and said unhappily, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get out. After you pass the news to Wu Fang, go back to Wuzhou Gate and intensify your training."

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, due to Ji Xingzhi's pressure and the fact that everyone in the Five States Sect knew that Ji Xingzhi valued her life and would not joke with it, they could only bow their heads and say, "Yes. Those people should be back soon. Sect Master, make preparations early."

Ji Xingzhi nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, go ahead."

After the secret guards left, Ji Xingzhi turned around to face Xiao Moyan. Xiao Moyan's expression was still indifferent, neither happy nor sad, which made Ji Xingzhi a little unsure.

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Xiao Moyan was the first to break the deadlock: "Master? Wuzhoumen?"

Wuzhoumen is a force that emerged a few years ago. It is both good and evil. It does things like murder, arson, and looting, but it also treats illnesses, saves lives, and helps the poor. It is really confusing.

The base of Wuzhoumen has always been a mystery, and its leader Jian Yao is also a mystery.

Rumor has it that Jian Yao, the leader of the Wuzhou Sect, is ruthless and has a stunning appearance, and his strength is unfathomable.

Xiao Moyan looked at Ji Xingzhi indifferently and came to a conclusion: the rumor was false.

"Well. Uncle, do you blame me for hiding it from you?" Ji Xingzhi looked at Xiao Moyan intently, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Under Ji Xingzhi's gaze, Xiao Moyan shook his head slightly and said, "No."

Listening to Xiao Moyan's indifferent answer, Ji Xingzhi couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
