Jiang Ying quickly left the Jianyun Courtyard.

She wanted to go out for a walk; she didn't want to stay cooped up in the courtyard.

The Jianyun Academy is built on the mountainside. Legend has it that the Grand Elder used the Jianyun Sect's sect-protecting divine sword to split the mountainside open, creating this large flat area for the construction of the Jianyun Academy.

So Jiang Ying wanted to go down from the middle of the mountain for a walk.

The Sword Cloud Courtyard is located in the center of the sect, and the road down the mountain is naturally a wide avenue. Even though it is already night, there are still disciples coming and going.

Jiang Ying sneaked out, so she obviously wouldn't take the main road.

Having taken a shortcut, Jiang Ying was finally able to walk freely as she pleased, a welcome relief after the restrictions of the past few days.

"I wonder how badly Junior Brother's injuries are progressing."

Jiang Ying murmured.

His hands, which had been waving confidently, drooped after only a few swings.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the dark forest.

Jiang Ying sensed danger with her sixth sense and immediately changed her mood, crouching down warily in front of a large tree.

Look around.

Finally, I spotted two figures in the distance!

One of them was the man in black I had encountered not long ago!

Jiang Yingyu's body trembled involuntarily; she was terrified!

Because the man in black was holding two swords, and he was raising one of the swords high, with a disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect stuck in it!

Fresh blood continued to flow down the longsword.

It dripped into the darkness.

Jiang Ying wanted to take the opportunity to escape and tell her father, but as soon as she moved, she guessed the exact branch.

With a snap, the branch broke.

It made a crisp sound.

The sound seemed even more jarring in the otherwise tranquil mountain forest.

Jiang Ying felt a chill run down her spine and trembled as she turned her head to look at the man in black in the distance.

Unsurprisingly, the man in black was also looking at him.

Hidden beneath the black clothes, a pair of eyes were fixed intently on Jiang Ying.

In the darkness of night, a murderous aura lurked.
