The gap is too big, let's run!
Given Zhao Min's personality, she would have killed them all if she was even 50% confident of success.
It's better to avoid trouble. As for the Righteousness Gang's affairs, only when everyone here keeps quiet forever can we truly be foolproof.
Hua Cai still desperately didn't want this person who had helped her so much to lie dead here like this.
"Oh? The flag bearer of the Fiery Banner?" Zhao Min immediately recognized Xin Ran's identity, clearly having a good understanding of some important figures in the Ming Cult, making her much more dedicated than Hua Cai, who was just doing a mission.
"I never imagined that my name, a commoner, would reach the ears of the princess." Xin Ran lightly tapped the hilt of the sword at her waist with her fingertips: "Xin Ran has come here only to take away someone I accidentally left at the foot of the mountain. If the princess has business to attend to, please do so. We will not disturb you any longer."
After speaking, Xinran turned her gaze to Hua Cai, gesturing for her to come over.
Hua Cai was in tears.
Brother, I'd like to go too, who wants to hang out with this bunch of bastards? But, the mission is the most important thing.
Hua Cai looked at Xin Ran, then at Zhao Qiang a few steps away, and shook her head firmly.
"Oh, I forgot your real master is here. In that case, we'll take our leave." Xin Ran smiled faintly and waved his hand, preparing to leave with his men.
Swoosh—
The two elders of Xuanming had already taken precautions at Zhao Min's signal. Seeing that Xin Ran and the others were about to leave, they were naturally unwilling to let them go so easily. They immediately flew forward and blocked their retreat.
"You think you can just leave? My Righteous Qi Gang is here, and we won't allow any of the demonic sect's fiends to leave." Zhao Min shouted softly, and several experts behind her spread out, surrounding the dozen or so people Xin Ran had brought.
Blocked, Xinran stopped, turned to look at Zhao Min, and said in a deep voice, "The martial world and the imperial court have always kept to themselves. Why is the princess interfering in my affairs when she is not staying in the royal palace enjoying a life of luxury?"
Zhao Min said angrily, "What I do is my own decision and has nothing to do with the court. Masters, stop talking to the demons of the Demonic Sect. Take action and leave no survivors."
As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, Zhao Qiang, as always, was the first to rush forward, his target being Xin Ran in the crowd.
Hua Cai sighed. Why didn't Xin Ran slip away quickly? Why did she have to provoke Zhao Min? Is she afraid that someone might accidentally let her go?
Seeing the two elders of Xuanming rushing forward closely behind, Hua Cai didn't have time to think and shouted, "Hebi Weng!"
Upon hearing his name, Hebi Weng, who was charging forward, subconsciously turned his head to look at Hua Cai.
A flash of red light appeared in her eyes, and Hua Cai quickly rushed towards the angle she had chosen.
Hebi Weng turned around, as if nothing had happened, and continued his advance.
Hua Cai, who already knew his attack trajectory, instantly stood between him and Zhao Qiang.
Seeing that Zhao Qiang and Xin Ran were about to fight each other, Hua Cai gritted her teeth, rushed forward three steps and hugged Zhao Qiang: "Master, be careful."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hebi Weng slammed his palm hard on Hua Cai's back, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood that splattered red spots onto Zhao Qiang's white robe.
At the same time, because he was held back by Hua Cai and was unable to dodge in time, Zhao Qiang was stabbed in the left shoulder by Xin Ran's sword.
Feeling a slight chill on her cheek, Hua Cai glanced to the side and saw the tip of a sword protruding from Zhao Qiang's shoulder.
Wow, Xin Ran really went all out, cutting two holes with one stroke.
Feeling that Zhao Qiang, whom she was holding, was not moving, Hua Caixin's heart began to pound.
"It was just a shove on the shoulder, the target won't just die like that, will he?"
"That's hard to say, after all, he's not the main character," the system's cool voice rang out.
Hua Cai breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the system was still in the mood to gloat, she knew the task target was definitely alright.
Sizzle—
Xin Ran, who was wielding the sword, clearly did not expect that his casual swing would be so effective. With a little force, the sword was pulled out of Zhao Qiang's shoulder, and blood immediately gushed out.
With Xin Ran's expression that seemed to say, "So you really want him dead," Hua Cai, her face full of black lines, supported Zhao Qiang, who was about to fall, and almost stumbled and fell down as well.
Good heavens, the Xuanming Elders are too cruel! Hebi Weng's palm strike was already quite light under her control, yet it still caused her internal injuries.
Helping the badly injured Zhao Qiang turn around, Hebi Weng had already withdrawn his palm and stood still.
Glancing at the cliff still some distance away, Hua Cai hardened her heart, her eyes flashed red again, and He Biweng flipped her palm once more, aiming with exceptional clarity at Zhao Qiang.
Seeing this, Hua Cai, in a heroic manner, stood in front of Zhao Qiang again, taking another solid blow.
Without the sword's obstruction, the two were sent flying by the palm strike, rolling a great distance before, in full view of everyone, they fell cleanly off the cliff.
Zhao Qiang was already acting strangely when he was stabbed, and now he has already fainted.
Hua Cai tried her best to hold him tight, and the two of them crashed heavily onto the vines that had been prepared beforehand.
The vine snapped in response, and the two, having lost much of their strength, landed steadily on the haystack.
Hua Cai quickly got up, glanced at the position of the pillow below, pulled Zhao Qiang aside, and gently pushed him. Zhao Qiang rolled straight towards the pillow along the slope.
Seeing Zhao Qiang land safely, Hua Cai shook out the vine net on the ground, rolled up a bag of the fodder at the bottom, threw the bag of fodder down, and rolled down herself.
"Pillow, lie down." Hua Cai called out softly. Pillow lay down on the ground. Only after Hua Cai lifted Zhao Qiang onto the horse's back did it slowly stand up.
He quickly tied a bag of hay to the saddle and mounted the horse with practiced ease.
"Go." With that command, the pillow carried the two away in a cloud of dust.
On the cliff, Zhao Min and her group, who were annoyed by Hua Cai's deliberate disruption, were suddenly stunned when they saw He Bi Weng strike Zhao Qiang with such precision. Before they could react, the two of them were sent flying.
Zhao Qiang was, after all, the heir of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. No matter how much Zhao Min disliked him, she still had to treat him well. When she saw that the two were about to fall off the cliff, she immediately became anxious.
It doesn't matter whether that maid lives or dies, but if anything happens to Zhao Qiang, her entire Ruyang Prince's Mansion will be in deep trouble.
"Quick, save him!" Zhao Min shouted anxiously, and leaped forward herself.
But if things went that smoothly, Hua Cai wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
In the final attempt to seize the soul, Hua Cijian went all out. He Biweng seemed to have lost his mind, attacking Lu Zhangke and the others like a madman.
Among the people Zhao Min brought, only Lu Zhangke and Fan Yao could rival her.
How could Lu Zhangke really bring himself to harm his junior brother, with whom he had worked for many years and was inseparable? Fan Yao was even more so; he was busy signaling Xin Ran and the others to retreat quickly, having already honed his skills to perfection.
