Just as everyone was anxiously searching for the source of the sound, that contemptuous voice rang out again: "I never expected that the guys from other continents would be so stupid, they're practically as dumb as pigs and dogs! Oh no, saying that would be too unfair to those cute animals, you're even worse than pigs and dogs!"
This taunt enraged everyone.
"Damn it! If you've got the guts, come out here!" people roared angrily.
"Sigh, look at you fools, look up!" Purple Robe sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
At the same time, he muttered to himself: How could these people from other continents be so clumsy?
Wasn't it said that the Sumeru Continent was the worst of the worst?
Why do these people seem even less capable than the ordinary guards in the palace?
Did you not hear anything at all during the commotion outside?
Those below, upon hearing this, all looked up.
A figure was sitting leisurely on the roof beam, leaning against the pillar.
He sat with one leg straight and the other bent, in an extremely lazy and comfortable posture.
Seeing that this person completely disregarded them, the crowd became increasingly indignant and furious.
They quickly picked up their weapons, formed a tight circle, and trapped the woman in purple in the center.
One of them shouted angrily, "Damn arrogant brat, tell me your name, and maybe I can spare your whole corpse!"
Someone else sneered and said sternly, "Hmph, you ignorant brat, since you dare to cause trouble here, don't even think about getting away unscathed!"
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and a fierce conflict was about to erupt...
"Oh? Are you talking about yourselves?" Zi Yi picked at her ear, looking as relaxed as if she were at home, showing no sign of tension despite the fact that the people below had taken up weapons.
He didn't come here to fight in the first place.
If we hurt them, and they later blame it on the Xumi Dynasty, then it would be really hard to explain.
On the contrary, he came to protect them.
"Hmph, I've never seen such an arrogant and ignorant person. Brother Guo, I'm going to personally pull out this man's tongue later to teach him a lesson for his arrogance."
"I'm going to twist his neck and see how he still looks at me with that sideways."
“Then I’ll cut off his limbs and turn him into a human pig.”
"Hang him at the city gate tomorrow, so the Sumeru Dynasty can see their hospitality."
"You're so smart. This guy came to ambush and assassinate us. Let's make sure he doesn't leave alive, and he'll never be able to say a word, hahaha."
Purple Robe was getting a little impatient.
If he had known these people were so annoying, he wouldn't have made this trip himself.
They're such a chatterbox, they talk so much.
"Why don't you go outside and take a look?" Zi Yi said impatiently.
He really didn't want to get entangled with these people any longer, so he simply told them to go out and check the situation.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
They looked at each other, their expressions tense, wondering to themselves: Could it be that the woman in purple had brought help?
For a moment, no one dared to make a move. They just stood there, exchanging glances, looking somewhat hesitant.
At this moment, a burly man stepped out. He snorted coldly and said, feigning composure, "Hmph, fine, go ahead and look, but what you've brought... Wait, what's going on here?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone was captivated by the burly man's dramatic change in attitude, from arrogant a moment ago to utterly astonished the next.
Without thinking twice, they rushed to the door, and some even eagerly opened the windows to look outside.
The sight before them left everyone speechless—
All that could be seen were corpses lying haphazardly on the ground outside the door.
A corpse?
Where did it come from?
Why are you here?
Everyone stared in astonishment, unable to believe what they were seeing.
They had no idea what had happened, nor could they understand why they hadn't heard a thing.
At this moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence, with only the corpses scattered on the ground silently telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces and their silence, Zi Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
He curled his lips into a slightly mocking smile: "Oh ho, why are you all so quiet now? Weren't you all talking non-stop just now?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment and anger appeared on everyone's faces, but they couldn't show it because Ziyi had just saved their lives.
Just then, a burly man with a dignified expression, who looked like a general, stepped forward.
He cupped his hands in thanks to the man in purple and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your help, brother. May I ask... why were we completely unaware?"
The woman in purple glanced at the general and sneered, "You guys are really stupid! You don't even realize you've been tricked."
Before he finished speaking, he lightly flicked his sleeve, and a neatly folded piece of paper fluttered to the ground like a butterfly in flight.
Everyone was astonished at the sight.
They could tell at a glance that the paper used on the note was made of a rare and precious material unique to their continent.
How could this person in purple clothes have a note from their mainland?
Where did he come from?
The leading general reacted very quickly; he swiftly reached out, picked up the note, and eagerly tore it open.
When he saw the handwriting on the note, he froze instantly, as if he had been frozen in place.
“There’s a traitor…” the general muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.
"What? How could there be a traitor? We all came to this continent together, we're all on the same side, how could there be a traitor?" A burly man next to him couldn't help but shout, his face full of disbelief.
Immediately, the crowd erupted in discussion, exchanging bewildered glances, none able to accept this astonishing fact.
The once solid trust began to crack, and doubt and unease filled the air.
The leader passed the note to the person behind him, who took it, read it, and then passed it on to the others, who then passed it around.
Even if they were unwilling, the paper and the unique markings on it did indeed come from their mainland.
“Those people are from a powerful clan on the Second Continent. This clan has specially trained a group of hidden guards who are skilled in stealth and assassination. They appear and disappear unpredictably and act mysteriously, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect their presence. So it’s not surprising that you didn’t notice their tracks,” the woman in purple said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the leader's expression grew even more solemn. He bowed respectfully and asked earnestly, "Then may I ask how you, brother, managed to see through the disguise of these hidden guards and eliminate them without alerting anyone? Such skill is truly admirable!"
The woman in purple smiled slightly, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
He replied softly, "Knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing for you."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
