A faint smile crept into Li Zhanting's deep eyes as he leaned close to Gu Momo's ear:
"MoMo, why don't we see how well we match? Let's write each other's thoughts on our palms and see if our ideas coincide again. I believe that MoMo already has her own answer before asking for my opinion, right?"
"Pfft..." Gu Momo chuckled, her delicate eyes sparkling with a charming smile.
"Looks like I really can't hide anything from you! Let's take a look then!"
After saying that, she smiled and gave Li Zhanting a look. Li Zhanting and Gu Momo simultaneously took out their phones and wrote something on them.
Ten seconds later, the two of them simultaneously showed each other their phone screens.
On both of their phone screens, four words were clearly displayed: Blood Jade Thumb Ring!
"Heh..." Li Zhanting's handsome face was beaming with a smile, "Mo Mo really did think the same thing as me."
"Of course! But of the four blood jade rings, only we have them now, but that's enough!"
She wanted to see what the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was planning, having gone to such lengths to infiltrate this place!
The night was deep, and the bamboo shadows outside the window swayed, like elves dancing quietly in the night.
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting fell into a deep sleep, but their sleep grew deeper and deeper, as if they had fallen into the underworld.
Both of them were covered in sweat, but the terrifying scenes from their dreams clung to them like haunting ghosts, and no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't wake up from their deep sleep...
Suddenly, a deafening gunshot rang out from outside the window!
Immediately, I felt as if the outside world had fallen into chaos, with gunshots, fighting sounds, and people screaming in agony everywhere!
"Ah—" The sharp sound pierced Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's ears like silver needles, and the two of them suddenly opened their eyes.
But he found that he was already drenched in sweat, and his heart was pounding violently!
The next moment, the two felt an intense killing intent around them. They turned their heads and saw dozens of armored soldiers firing at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting from outside the window. Almost simultaneously, the dozens of soldiers were preparing to pull the trigger.
"MoMo!" Li Zhanting reacted quickly, immediately picking up Gu MoMo and rolling off the bed!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Countless bullets landed where the two were sleeping, some even grazing right over Li Zhanting's head.
Li Zhanting quickly scooped up Gu Momo and rolled under the bed, dodging all the incoming bullets. But then he realized that his whole body felt numb, as if something had been injected into him. From his head to his fingers and toes, he had absolutely no strength.
Despite the commotion outside, they were fast asleep and completely unaware!
"Mo Mo, are you alright?" Li Zhanting patted Gu Mo Mo's cheek, and Gu Mo Mo's consciousness gradually returned.
She quickly realized the situation before her, and her fingers instinctively reached out to grip Li Zhanting's sleeve: "The Emperor-Slaying Alliance has indeed begun its operation! I never expected this. We were on guard so carefully, yet we didn't even know when they had drugged us!"
Just then, the armored soldiers outside swarmed forward. Taking advantage of the last bit of strength left in his legs, Li Zhanting subconsciously wanted to fight!
The armored soldiers of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance rushed up, and Li Zhanting grabbed Gu Momo and rolled out from under the bed.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his arm was grazed by a bullet, and blood was flowing freely!
"Li Zhanting!" Gu Momo instinctively tried to protect Li Zhanting, but a glint of light flashed in Li Zhanting's piercing eyes.
As the Emperor-Slaying Alliance subordinates fired again, his tall figure kicked the chair, sending it flying towards the assassin!
The next moment, taking advantage of the assassin's momentary lapse in concentration, Li Zhanting rushed forward and kicked the gun out of the assassin's hand!
Before the assassin could get up, Li Zhanting fired a shot, injecting the tranquilizer into the assassin's body!
"Momo, let's go first!" Li Zhanting immediately led Gu Momo out of the room, only to see that the courtyard was engulfed in flames!
The raging flames engulfed the entire courtyard, and the air was thick with the smell of burning. The firelight stung the skin.
Meanwhile, the Dark Night Alliance and the subordinates of the Glazed Pavilion, hidden in the shadows, were engaged in a chaotic battle with the assassins of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.
The assassins from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance came with great force, but the people from the Dark Night Alliance and the Glazed Pavilion were even more elite, and the assassins from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance were clearly at a disadvantage!
Gu Momo bit her arm, the piercing pain finally bringing her back to her senses. She managed to muster the strength to say, "Quickly check on Ye Meng and my dad! The Emperor-Slaying Alliance poisoned us sometime ago!"
She had barely finished speaking when Fu Jinye ran over with Ye Meng and Hua Su: "Mo Mo, Zhan Ting! Are you alright!"
Hua Su and Ye Meng had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Fu Jinye was covered in blood, clearly having used the same method as Li Zhanting and Gu Momo—injuring himself to stay conscious.
"I'm fine, Dad!" Gu Momo said quickly. "Let's go check on the Shao family right away! This operation by the Emperor-Killing Alliance might be targeting us, or it might be targeting other members of the Shao family! Dad, take Ye Meng and Hua Su to a safe place first."
"Alright! I'll take them away from here first!"
Of course, their most important task was to also check if there was anything unusual about the other members of the Shao family!
The leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is lurking here; she doesn't believe he won't slip up!
Fu Jinye immediately led his men away, while Gu Momo and Li Zhanting rushed to the Ye family's main hall. Assassins kept chasing them along the way, and the two could only hide under the cover of night. The others were left to be dealt with by their subordinates who were hiding in the shadows.
Just then, a black figure flashed by in the distance, and Gu Momo and Li Zhanting stopped abruptly.
The two immediately turned around, only to see the figure swiftly crossing the courtyard and heading straight for the outer perimeter of the Ye family!
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting immediately tensed up: "Who is it? Stop!"
The two quickly gave chase, but the man swiftly threw a gunpowder bomb at their feet!
"MoMo, watch out!" Li Zhanting immediately hugged Gu MoMo tightly, and the gunpowder bomb was detonated with a loud bang!
The ground was a mess, and Li Zhanting quickly helped Gu Momo brush off the dust: "Momo, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
As soon as Gu Momo finished speaking, she felt a strong gaze, like that of a wild beast, fall upon her.
In that instant, she felt a chill run down her spine, and as she turned her head, she met a cold and stern gaze!
He was dressed in a dark black rough robe, his tall figure shrouded in the night like a ghost. The golden dragon mask on his face covered his true face, revealing only his bloodthirsty eyes, but it still could not stop the oppressive force emanating from his body.
In the darkness, his dark figure was like a ghost, as if he could turn into a vengeful spirit that could kill without leaving a trace at any moment!
"The leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance?!" Gu Momo and Li Zhanting both raised their voices at the same time!
