Feeling the strong wind coming from behind, Qiu Honglei knew that the enemy was rapidly approaching, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "That bastard risked his life to protect the Crown Princess, but when something happened to me, I couldn't find him anywhere."
Of course, she knew that such complaints were unreasonable. After leaving the East Palace, in order to avoid being captured in one fell swoop, they split up and ran in different directions. Unfortunately, they ran right into the Left Guard General who was leading his troops.
Even she herself didn't know she would be so unlucky, so how could Zu'an possibly know? Besides, the palace is so big, even if the other party wanted to find her, they wouldn't be able to.
She touched the dagger at her waist, a resolute look flashing across her face. If the others in her group were captured, they could still pretend to be Qi Wang's men according to the established plan. The people who participated in this mission were all elites who were not afraid of death.
Unfortunately, while others could be captured, she could not. Firstly, because of her special status in the cult, and secondly, because she was a woman, and an extremely beautiful one at that. If she were captured, she might suffer some unbearable humiliation.
So she was prepared to die before the attack. Her fellow believers were willing to sacrifice their lives for a great ideal, so why would she be an exception?

To her surprise, the flaming blade that came straight at her didn't hit her, but instead slashed past her side and back, landing right on Cheng Xiong, who was chasing after her.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiong was greatly alarmed. He immediately crossed his arms in front of him, and the steel rings on his arms spun rapidly, making a piercing sound. Then, he suddenly opened his hands, and a huge tiger shadow rose up from his body, roaring as he charged towards the flaming greatsword.
Bang!
With a loud bang, many of the surrounding artificial hills and trees turned to dust. He waved his hand to disperse the dust and smoke, but the assassin was nowhere to be found.
Just then, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly rose from the direction of the Eastern Palace. Even with his cultivation level, he almost couldn't stand and knelt on the ground. He couldn't help but look in shock and horror towards the direction of the Eastern Palace: "The Emperor has made a move? Who in the world is worth his full effort?"
