Nanzhi watched in horror as countless soldiers, armed with sharp weapons, surged toward her like a tide. Her heart ached, and she shouted, "The Crown Prince sent you to protect me! Please save me!"
Dark Moon Enchantress staggered. Nanzhi was usually a little unreliable, and even more so at critical moments!
Seeing that Nanzhi's identity had been exposed, she had no choice but to steady herself and shouted angrily, "We are here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect Princess Nanzhi. We hope the General will show mercy and let us go!"
However, the deputy general was not moved at all. With a fierce and poisonous light flashing in his eyes, he shouted sternly: "How dare you pretend to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Come on, kill all these traitors!" With his order, the surrounding officers and soldiers raised their weapons and rushed towards Dark Moon Fairy and others.
Dark Moon Fairy's eyes turned cold, and she quickly wrapped her arms around Nanzhi's slender waist. With a powerful push of her feet, she soared up like a ghost, unexpectedly breaking out of the encirclement!
Nanzhi was so frightened by this sudden change that she turned pale and couldn't help but let out a sharp scream. The sound seemed to pierce Dark Moon Fairy's eardrums, causing her ears to twitch and hurt unbearably.
"Shut up! If you scream again, I'll throw you down!" Dark Moon Fairy glared at Nanzhi fiercely. Her tone was filled with threats and intimidation, making people shudder. Nanzhi was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth tightly, fearing that she would really be thrown off the tall building.
Seeing this, the soldiers surrounding the road drew their bows without hesitation, aiming at Dark Moon Fairy and unleashing their poison-coated arrows like a rain of arrows. Dark Moon Fairy quickly opened her red umbrella and spun around. As if drawn by an invisible force, the incoming poisonous arrows were all absorbed by the red umbrella.
Then, with a powerful swing of her arm, the poisonous arrow in the red umbrella shot out like an arrow from a bow, hurtling towards the soldiers on the road! In an instant, screams rang out one after another, and the scene was immediately flooded with blood. The casualties were heavy, with over half of the soldiers killed on the spot!
At the same time, Shang Lu and others took the opportunity to fight their way out, rushing towards the Dark Moon Fairy at lightning speed.
Not long after, the group disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
The seriously injured deputy general pursued them relentlessly but was unable to find their hiding place. Helplessly, exhausted and injured, he could only return and report the situation to Xiao Jingyi.
The deputy general reported to Xiao Jingyi with a serious expression, "Marshal, Princess Nanzhi has also arrived with Jia Xiong. They claim to have been ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and protect Princess Nanzhi!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi sneered disdainfully, "Crown Prince? Humph, that guy is eager for Xiao Jinghan to die sooner rather than later, so why would he send anyone to guard Nanzhi? This is simply ridiculous!"
At this moment, the military advisor beside him said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Emperor Wen instructed the Crown Prince to act this way?"
However, before the military advisor could finish his words, an aide beside Xiao Jingyi refuted without hesitation, "Absolutely impossible! According to our spies, the relationship between Emperor Wen and the Crown Prince is extremely tense, like water and fire. Under these circumstances, Emperor Wen would never allow the Crown Prince to be involved in such matters!"
The deputy general continued, "It's incredible that the weapon used by that fellow named Jia Xiong is actually a red umbrella. This man is a master of martial arts and has unfathomable internal strength. I have fought for many years, but I have never encountered such a powerful enemy!"
The staff member's face was filled with suspicion as he muttered to himself, "From what I've seen, the leader of the Dark Moon Pavilion, the mysterious assassin organization of Dazhao Country, 'Dark Moon Fairy,' seems to also have a red umbrella as her signature weapon. Rumor has it that she's an expert in disguise, her skills reaching a level so unpredictable that they're almost unfathomable."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his eyes revealing a hint of cruelty and determination, and he said with gritted teeth: "Immediately send people to draw portraits of these people and distribute them throughout the city. Once their traces are found, there is no need to report them, just execute them on the spot! No leniency!" He knew very well that this group of enemies had ill intentions, and decisive measures must be taken to prevent future troubles.
Dark Moon Fairy and the others hurried back to the Soul-Seeking Sect's branch without stopping. As soon as they landed, they sent out a spy to gather information. Not long after, the spy hurried back, carrying several scrolls.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the portraits not only depicted Nanzhi's true appearance, but even her appearance after disguise was portrayed vividly.
The spy reported to Shang Hufa solemnly, "Shang Hufa, there's a bounty on our lives in the martial arts world, and it's issued by Xiao Jingyi. The bounty on Princess Nanzhi has been increased tenfold! The entire city is under strict inspection, making it extremely difficult for us to escape. Even if we manage to escape, we'll probably be pursued and intercepted by various martial artists along the way."
Upon hearing this news, Nanzhi was extremely anxious and said anxiously, "What should we do? The Biluo poison in my cousin's body is about to be uncontrollable!"
Dark Moon Fairy was silent for a moment, a flicker of determination in her eyes as she said in a deep voice, "Given the current situation, our group is attracting too much attention. Let's put it this way. Nanzhi and I will go ahead, and the rest of you can wait until the hype has died down and then look for an opportunity to leave the city."
As the sun set, its afterglow cast a shadow over the earth, as if draping the entire world in a golden veil. In this tranquil and beautiful evening, two figures slowly walked toward the city gate. They were two elderly men, holding each other tightly, their steps unsteady but unwavering.
