In an instant, dozens of incredibly fast black figures blocked her and Xiao Nian's path. The black-clad, masked men stared intently at Baili Yuechan, moving in front of her in the blink of an eye. Baili Yuechan swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding their attack. With a delicate shout, a beam of azure light swept fiercely towards the black-clad, masked men. They hastily retreated in unison, none of them being struck by her spiritual energy.
After landing, Baili Yuechan took a quick breath and calmed herself down. These people must have been sent by Baili Jun'ao. Here, the only person who wanted to kill her was Baili Jun'ao.
The masked man in black quickly pounced on Baili Yuechan again. His agility surpassed that of a Spirit King, clearly indicating that he had been forcibly trained. Baili Yuechan's eyes instantly darkened. As the masked man in black pounced in front of her, she leaped straight up, then nimbly flipped her body in mid-air, quickly using the hidden weapon in her wide sleeve to shoot at the masked man in black.
"Bang! Bang!" Several masked men in black who couldn't dodge fell to the ground with a thud, letting out unpleasant roars.
Xiao Nian was not to be outdone, and she fought her way through the masked men in black.
Hong Yiming and Baili Jun'ao, who were hiding in the shadows, stared wide-eyed. Hong Yiming, in particular, watched as the person he had carefully trained died in front of him. His face began to contort and his body trembled violently.
"Your Highness, Baili Yuechan's cultivation has improved considerably. Let our people retreat!"
“Hmm! Tonight is just to test Baili Yuechan’s cultivation level and also to alert the enemy. Wuguzi is nearby and should be here soon. Yiming, you take the brothers and retreat to a hidden place first.”
Baili Jun'ao knew when to stop while he was ahead. To do this, he needed to know Baili Yuechan and Wuguzi's plans accurately. If he remained too calm, it would only make the two of them think something was wrong.
"Alright! Your Highness, you should worry about it yourself."
Hong Yiming sent a signal into the darkness, and the masked men in black who were attacking Baili Yuechan instantly disappeared into the night, demonstrating their excellent training and seamless teamwork.
Baili Yuechan quickly looked around and found that there was no longer any fluctuation of spiritual energy in the surroundings.
"Princess, who are these people? Why would they try to harm you on the Netherworld Continent?"
Xiao Nian asked anxiously, "Those masked men in black just now were incredibly imposing and coordinated perfectly. They were clearly well-trained and knew exactly how to advance and retreat. This is the kind of group that we fear the most."
She didn't notice anything unusual when she arrived, but the speed at which the man in black appeared and disappeared was truly frightening.
Baili Yuechan was silent for a moment before saying, "Besides Baili Jun'ao, who else would want to kill me? Let's go back!"
Baili Yuechan instinctively sensed the other party's strength and subconsciously went into a state of alert.
"Disciple greets Master."
Baili Yuechan hurriedly returned to the inn and saw Wuguzi's gloomy face, so she quickly bowed.
"Where did you go so late at night?"
Wuguzi didn't look at Baili Yuechan. His hair, which was originally a little gray, had turned completely black. Although Nangong Ziyan really wanted to know why Wuguzi had changed like this, she didn't have the courage to ask.
"Reporting to Master, I have gone to see the informant in the Netherworld Palace."
"Oh! What good news?" Wuguzi suddenly became interested and glanced at Baili Yuechan.
"The Demon Lord has come to the South Sea Glazed Palace to propose marriage, and Tian Haoze has already brought the betrothal gifts."
Baili Yuechan didn't dare tell Wuguzi what had happened that night, because he was unaware of the existence of the Snow Wolf Beast.
"Yes! The current situation is already very unfavorable to us. If the Netherworld Continent and the South Sea Glazed Palace were to form a marriage alliance, then the Netherworld Continent would be in a dominant position. You must complete the matter of using the love potion before the South Sea Glazed Palace exhibition. Your master does not want this matter to go wrong in any way."
"Please rest assured, Master, I will definitely not let you down this time."
Baili Yuechan made a firm decision: she would definitely implant the love potion into Nangong Ziyan's body.
