"You guys, lift his legs up and pull them back."
Several shadow guards immediately obeyed the order, lifting the guard's legs and pulling them back desperately. The guard, whose fingers were stuck in the wall, finally lost his grip and his hand slipped away bit by bit.
It was then that everyone made a surprising discovery.
"Commander Mu, the suction force was so strong that it sucked their bodies into the air! What kind of weird martial arts could be capable of such a thing?"
Muyou shook his head.
"I once read in a book that there was a strange martial art called the Heart-Absorbing Technique. Once mastered, it can use a powerful suction force to suck the opponent into its hand, then absorb all of the opponent's life's internal energy, thereby increasing one's own internal energy."
The shadow guards gasped: "Commander Mu, are you saying that some of them know this strange martial art?"
"This martial arts manual was destroyed long ago and has been lost for hundreds of years. Furthermore, most people who practice this martial art die young. Because everyone's constitution is different, and the internal energy they cultivate is also different, absorbing another person's internal energy for their own use without digesting and integrating it can easily cause a conflict between their internal energies and lead to insanity. Therefore, anyone who uses this method to kill is essentially committing suicide."
"As long as everyone knows there's someone like this, there's no need to be afraid. If we can't get by with a small number of people, we can mobilize the army and use human wave tactics."
"Listen to what I have to say!" Mu You glared at the Shadow Guard Commander. "As the commander of the Five Cities Shadow Guards, you act impulsively without analyzing the situation first. Is this the kind of person I have trained?"
"I know I was wrong!" The Shadow Guard Commander immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"The Heart Absorbing Technique uses the palm of your hand to absorb the opponent's strength into your body. People only have two hands, so at most they can absorb two people at a time. But look at how many scratches there are on this wall?"
The Shadow Guards were startled and asked, "Commander Mu, are you saying... that our people weren't killed by the Heart-Sucking Technique?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The Heart-Sucking Technique can't absorb so many people at once. There are at least 10 people left in this stronghold. It's impossible that none of them could escape."
"Then...then who killed them?"
Mu You shook his head: "This is also what I can't understand. As far as I know, no one can do this." Most of the shadow guards around the queen were trained by him, and he knew very well what level these people were at.
"They will leave Yueyang City early this morning. We will stop them on the official road outside the city."
"..." The shadow guards looked at Mu You and asked, "Commander Mu, are you saying... that we should fight them in broad daylight?"
"We've already sent out four groups of people to assassinate at night, but none of them ever returned. Do you think assassinations at night are really feasible?"
"Then...then are you sure they will take the official road?"
Thinking of Murong Xiao, Muyou smiled: "There are lazy people among them who are unwilling to take a detour. Otherwise, they would not take a shortcut and leave Xijing after doing something wrong."
"Everything is subject to the commander's orders."
"It's almost dawn, everyone follow me out of the city!
"yes!"
*********The changing situation*********
The next day, when Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao got up, Jifeng and Qingfeng came to report that Yelu Boyang wanted to see them.
Arriving downstairs at the inn,
