Lin Changshi led his trusted disciples towards the direction of Qionghua Palace.

On the way, she met an elder from the Holy Maiden Temple.

She bowed politely: "Elder Ji."

In the Holy Maiden Temple, the person with the highest status is the Holy Maiden, followed by the eight elders.

Among these people, some became elders after the abdication of the previous saints, and some started as disciples and became elders based on their qualifications and strength.

Elder Ji is the former.

At the same time, she is also a member of the Ji family.

"It's so late, where is Chief Envoy Lin going if he is not going to serve the Saint?"

Elder Ji asked as if it was a routine matter.

Lin Changshi replied: "I will take people to clean the Qionghua Palace."

Elder Ji asked, "Has the Saint's injury healed?"

Qionghua Palace is where the Saint Maiden practices martial arts on a daily basis. A few days ago, the Saint Maiden was injured while practicing and has been recuperating ever since. She did not even show up in the first three rounds of the preliminary selections.

But he should show up at tomorrow's palace selection anyway.

"It's okay." said Lin Changshi.

Elder Ji said calmly, "That's good. Tomorrow's palace selection is crucial. It won't look good if the Saint is absent. You go clean the Qionghua Palace. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Elder Ji, take care."

Chief Envoy Lin bowed slightly, and only stood up after Elder Ji had walked away, and then he put away his respectful expression and told the people around him, "No one is allowed to leak the news about the Qionghua Palace."

The trusted disciple responded: "Yes."

Envoy Lin continued, "Also, if anyone is found intruding in the Qionghua Palace, no matter who they are, they will be killed!"

One of the disciples hesitated for a moment and asked, "But, if a disciple of our sect accidentally walked in..."

Lin Changshi looked at her dangerously.

The disciple hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand! Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"

Lin Changshi looked up at the silent sky and said, "No one can discover the Saint's secret."

At this moment, four little intruders were lying on the bed, observing the man on it.

Da Hu's fingers poked the man's face and felt warm.

After making sure that he was just asleep, Xiaohu was no longer afraid of him and poked his face with his little fingers in a naughty way.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet? I want to go find my mother?" Xiaohu asked.

They couldn't open the door.

We have to wake him up, but this adult can sleep even more than my stinky dad and can't be woken up no matter what we do.

Da Hu patted him on the forehead.

"Snap!" That crisp sound made Erhu feel pain for him.

But still no response.

Erhu took out his own small talisman, placed it on his forehead, and imitated the witch in the countryside to make seals with his little hands, muttering to himself:

"May the heavens and earth bless you..."

Wei Xiyue looked at him quietly, without saying a word, just kept looking at him.

Lin Changshi brought his trusted disciples into the Qionghua Palace.

Passing through the solemn and majestic main hall, the group stepped into the corridor on the east side, where dim oil lamps were hung on the inner walls.

Lin Changshi turned into a training room at the end. Just as she was about to press the mechanism on the wall, the wind chimes under the eaves rang.

Her brows turned cold, and she said vigilantly: "Someone broke into the Qionghua Palace!"

Ever since the Saint found suspicious charcoal ash on the wall of the Collection Pavilion, she has strengthened the security of the bedroom and the Qionghua Palace, and secretly arranged a wind chime formation.

Anyone who doesn't go through the main door is likely to encounter the mechanism of the wind chime array.

Lin Chang left two disciples behind and rushed out with the rest to capture the assassin.

Gui Bu: "Is it you?"

Wei Ting: “Not me.”

The two brothers looked at the faint silk thread under their feet, making sure neither of them stepped on it.

Wei Ting sighed and said, "It seems that besides us, there are others who have come to break into the Qionghua Palace tonight."

The ghost said in fear: "Don't be happy too soon, he may not be your friend."

He came to break into the Qionghua Palace and seemed to be at odds with the Saint, but who can guarantee that he can get along with the people inside?

If they came to steal the puppet, or even to destroy it, their actions tonight would make the situation even worse.

"Southern Xinjiang is not peaceful either." Wei Ting narrowed his eyes.

Gui Bu said: "The Saint Maiden Palace is already one of the largest forces. The power behind them should not be underestimated as they have the guts to bring so many people to break into the Saint Maiden Palace."

Wei Ting looked at him: "Brother, what do you think?"

Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, "We can rule out the Cheng family. The Cheng family is ready to be re-elected as the Saint, and will not do anything to weaken the Saint's Palace. The other three families... it's hard to say. In addition, there are eight major tribes in southern Xinjiang, and they are also suspects."

Gui Bu listened to the noises of the two sides fighting and said: "It doesn't matter who it is, we only have one goal."

There were more than twenty assassins in this wave, and all of them were masters.

Lin Changshi blew the bone whistle, and the masters of the Holy Maiden Palace also came out.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Lin Changshi retreated to the ground and secretly observed the battle situation.

So many experts came at once, clearly they came prepared...

"Oh no! Secret room!"

Lin Changshi realized that he had fallen into a trap and hurried to the secret room where the man was imprisoned.

The disciple she left behind to guard had already fallen to the ground unconscious.

She squatted down and felt the necks of both men.

Boom boom

The stone door of the secret room opened.

Her eyes moved, and without caring about the two seriously injured disciples, she quickly ran towards the stone gate.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Two men in black had already entered the secret room with bloody swords in hand.

What’s even more abominable is that they actually closed the stone door and destroyed the mechanism.

She couldn't open it! She punched the stone door: "Damn it!"

This group of people came with bad intentions.

It was unknown whether they were targeting the Saint or the entire Saint's Palace. Anyway, the news about that person had leaked out, and they were here to kill him! Unfortunately, that person had not yet woken up, and was now a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Envoy Lin!"

A disciple rushed over with a sword in hand. She glanced at her fellow apprentice sisters on the ground and asked worriedly, "Chief Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Changshi gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and inform the Saint! Someone broke into the secret room!"

In the secret room, two men in black slowly approached the bed with swords in hand.

The two of them were alert to the man's movements and exchanged glances.

One person continued to walk forward, while the other turned his back to him, alert that the stone door might open at any time.

The man came to the bed, looked at the unconscious man on the bed, and suddenly raised his sword.

"Are you touching me?"

A round little head suddenly popped out from under the quilt.

The man was shocked!

He staggered back a big step!

His companion also heard the sound, turned around and bumped into him.

The two looked at Xiaohu in amazement.

The man in black asked, "Why are there children here?"

The companion said, "Could it be that the Saint gave birth to the child secretly?"

The man in black stared at Xiaohu and said, "This child looks no more than three years old. He has been here for five years, so the timeline is completely consistent."

"Catch the child!"

"Who are you going to arrest?"

Erhu also crawled out from the bed.

The two were shocked again! Twins?

Da Hu also got out of the quilt: "It's wrong to arrest people."

Three!

Both of them widened their eyes.

The companion said coldly: "It's enough to capture one. More will be a nuisance. The other two...kill them together with that man!"

The man in black nodded.

That's all there is to it.

They are cold-blooded killers. In their eyes, children are no different from a few stones. It is impossible for them to be kind to children.

The man in black grabbed a child with one hand and threw him to his companion, while he raised his sword and slashed at the other two without mercy.

Swish! His sword blade was grabbed by a hand as cold as a skull.

The awakening skills of the three little ones never disappoint
