When Feng Qinghuang came out of the Dark Night Pavilion, it was already late at night, and even a bit cold. Feng Qinghuang wrapped her clothes tighter and quickened her pace.
However, Feng Qinghuang was in a good mood, happy that she was about to become a little rich woman, when she suddenly sensed several auras following her. These auras were faint and didn't seem like assassins. Assassins wouldn't be so foolish as to expose their presence.
So what do these people following him want? Rob them of their money and sexual assault, or kill them to silence them?
Feng Qinghuang suddenly became interested. Since breaking through to the Spirit Saint realm, she hadn't had a chance to show off her skills, and now this had come to her. She wondered who could be so pleasing to her; it was like a pillow being delivered to her just when she was feeling sleepy.
A few days ago, because the Emperor and Empress were at the Prince Feng's residence, even though they had bodyguards, I left them at home just in case. The Emperor and Empress have just returned to the palace, and I haven't had time to transfer my bodyguards yet.
Do these people know they don't have any bodyguards around them? Is that why they're so blatant?
These people must have been keeping watch at their doorstep for several days.
Feng Qinghuang led the people to a deserted street at a leisurely pace. Although it was late at night, there were still a few people on the main street.
The women following behind looked at the middle-aged woman beside them. One of them voiced her doubts, "Master, does this little girl know we're following her? Why did she bring us here?"
The Jade Maiden Palace Master, Hongxiu, scoffed disdainfully: "Just a little girl. With so many of us, are we afraid she'll run away? No matter where she is, she won't escape today. How dare she harm your young master? I'd like to see just how capable she is."
The woman who spoke had a glint in her eyes: "Yes, Master."
In truth, the woman harbored disdain. The young palace master was all show and no substance, unable to even defeat a mere maid. If it weren't for her status as a princess, how could her master have shown her such favor and bestowed upon her the title of young palace master?
Arriving at a deserted alley, and seeing that they still showed no sign of coming out, Feng Qinghuang simply stopped and called out to those behind her, "I wonder if those behind us are friends or foes? Come out and meet them. If there's anything, resolve it quickly so we don't delay our return to sleep."
Hongxiu gestured to the woman who had just spoken, Qingzhu, to take a few others and go meet this little girl. Hongxiu didn't believe that Feng Qinghuang would be able to detect her presence in the shadows.
Qingzhu nodded and led several women out of the darkness.
"Are you Princess Feng Qinghuang of the Azure Dragon Kingdom?"
Feng Qinghuang neither nodded nor shook her head, glancing at the women. These women were quite powerful, most being Spirit Kings and one Spirit Sect Master, but killing her was out of the question. She was currently concerned about the person behind them, wondering about his cultivation level.
It seems I should keep my skills to myself for now.
"Who are you, and why are you following me?"
Qingzhu scoffed, "You'll soon find out who we are. But you should first think about who you've offended. Otherwise, if you seek revenge in your next life, you won't even know who your enemy is."
Feng Qinghuang tilted her head: "So that means you're here to kill me?"
The only person he had offended was You Xuewu. Presumably, these were people from her sect.
"Hmph, she's not bad. Junior sisters, go! Kill her and avenge the young palace master."
Feng Qinghuang untied the Crimson Flame Whip from her waist: "Come on, my Crimson Flame Whip hasn't drunk blood in a long time."
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, several people drew their swords and rushed forward, eager to see just how powerful this little girl really was.
After several people rushed forward, they immediately surrounded Feng Qinghuang and attacked with sharp blades in hand.
Although Feng Qinghuang was facing multiple opponents alone, she remained calm and focused, using her past life's assassination techniques, combined with her spiritual power and the Crimson Flame Whip, to defeat them one by one.
The people of the Jade Maiden Palace all wield longswords as weapons. However, the Phoenix Crimson Flame Whip can attack from a distance, and the people of the Jade Maiden Palace cannot even get close to Phoenix.
Feng Qinghuang's whip was poisoned, leaving a trail of black and blue in its wake. Since they were here to kill her, she had no reason to hold back.
Hongxiu stood on a distant rooftop, watching this scene with a cold smile. She had thought this girl's cultivation was quite good, but it turned out she was a poison user. She had really overestimated her.
However, these disciples are utterly useless. After fighting for so long, they haven't even managed to touch the little girl. Is it that the little girl's movements are too unpredictable, or are her disciples just too stupid?
However, she wasn't in a hurry. She wanted to see what would happen to her when she ran out of spiritual energy, even if they kept her occupied.
As Feng Qinghuang fought, she kept an eye on the shadows, fearing that the person lurking there might launch a sneak attack when she wasn't looking.
Perhaps he didn't take her seriously, or perhaps he was too confident in himself. Only after Feng Qinghuang finished dealing with those people did the person lurking in the shadows emerge.
