Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze were on their way back to the capital of Wuling Kingdom when they suddenly received a message from the capital.
In the past few days, they have found all their other companions who were lost due to the flood.
Zhou Wan and Jiang Shichen have also been transferred to Wuling Kingdom. Qi Guze arranged for them to live in another house, and no one else noticed anything unusual during this time.
But the message Xu Yuehuai received today said that something had happened to the little princess.
"Wasn't the little princess always guarded by guards? Why did something suddenly happen to her?"
Xu Yuehuai was very worried about the little princess's condition.
Qi Guze said, "Perhaps the Shadow Alliance saw that we attacked Killing Shadow, so they want to use the little princess to threaten us."
"So what should we do now? The little princess has been treating me like her older sister, and I've started to treat her like my own younger sister lately."
"I really don't want anything to happen to the little princess!"
Xu Yuehuai's heart clenched with worry, fearing that the other party would harm the little princess.
“I know how you feel, but please don’t get too excited right now. Leave this to me, I’m sure I can rescue the little princess.”
Qi Guze immediately summoned his men and ordered them to investigate the little princess's current situation.
The other party only told Xu Yuehuai that the little princess was in their hands, and now they have no idea where the little princess is or whether she is injured.
"My people now have an information network covering the entire Wuling Kingdom, and I estimate that it won't be long before we can find information about the little princess."
"Um."
Xu Yuehuai was still very worried, and she couldn't eat or sleep well.
Over the next few days, they traveled towards the capital of Wulin Kingdom while keeping an eye on the little princess's condition.
However, even after they arrived at the capital of Wulin Kingdom, they still hadn't received any specific news about the little princess.
"They only gave us one piece of information about what those people wanted to do, and didn't tell us anything else."
Xu Yuehuai thought to herself that if the other party wanted them to hand over some of their power, or even take their lives, it was still much better than having no news at all.
"Maybe they want us to lose our composure so they can take advantage of the situation to deal with us."
Qi Guze guessed.
Xu Yuehuai thought what he said made a lot of sense, but if the other party was still waiting for an opportunity, the little princess might be in danger.
“I think we can’t just sit here and wait to die. Since they want to wait for an opportunity, why don’t we create an opportunity for them ourselves?”
"They simply hate us for dealing with the people they left behind in the martial arts world, and now they definitely want us dead."
Qi Guze ruffled Xu Yuehuai's hair. "Your method is excellent. Then we'll reveal our weaknesses to the other side and lure them over."
Then, Qi Guze immediately put his men into action. He first sent out all his men to search for information in the surrounding area.
Elite guards remained by their side, protecting them at all times.
They then brought in many more doctors to treat them.
After dismissing the doctors, Qi Guze truthfully explained his condition.
When someone found those doctors, they interrogated them one by one.
"What illness did the people in that mansion have?"
"Or were you injured?"
"Tell me the truth right now!"
However, what the doctors knew was that Qi Guze actually didn't have any illness at all.
So they all truthfully said, "The people in that mansion are neither sick nor injured."
"Impossible. You must be lying to us. If he wasn't sick or injured, why would he be in such a hurry to bring so many doctors over?"
"You're absolutely lying. If you don't tell us, you can forget about ever seeing your family again."
"Hurry up and tell the truth."
But these Shadow Alliance members threatened the doctors, and they kept saying the same thing.
"Alright, stop threatening them here. They must be acting under orders from those people, which is why they aren't explaining their specific reasons."
"We've consulted so many doctors, but we still haven't found any clues. Maybe that person suffered some serious injuries."
"Our Shadow Assassin Organization is definitely not something that can be defeated so easily."
"It would be a miracle if he hadn't gotten injured."
After discussing the matter amongst themselves, they concluded that Qi Guze was definitely seriously injured, so they decided to find an opportunity to storm into Xu Yuehuai's residence and capture them in one fell swoop.
The Shadow Alliance has already planted many of its own people in the capital of the martial arts world, and now they are guarding this area, waiting to deal with Qi Guze and his group.
A few days later, they gathered a large number of people and surrounded Xu Yuehuai's residence.
“Shuashuashua——!”
Seeing the people moving about inside the mansion, the Shadow Alliance members immediately fired arrows, intending to assassinate them.
However, the arrows that were shot directly pierced the scarecrows. None of the scarecrows bled; they remained standing upright, maintaining their previous swaying motion.
After discovering this, they realized they had definitely been deceived.
"Oh no, this is a trap. Those people must have discovered our presence."
"Retreat immediately!"
"Get out of here quickly."
Just as the Shadow Alliance members were about to leave, they suddenly discovered that many guards had appeared in the nearby streets. They surrounded them from all sides and blocked them outside the mansion.
"Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"They captured our people and now they want to leave safely? How is that possible?"
"You are surrounded. Why don't you lay down your weapons and surrender?"
"Today will be your death day!"
Qi Guze's men spoke to the Shadow Alliance members.
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Alliance members immediately turned their backs to each other, brandishing their weapons and watching Qi Guze's men warily.
These people had no intention of surrendering; instead, they were thinking of finding a way to break out.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were on a high-rise building, watching everything that was happening here.
"I didn't expect them to actually be lured here. Maybe we'll be able to find the little princess soon."
Xu Yuehuai felt a surge of joy, but was still more worried about the little princess's current situation.
It has been more than ten days since the little princess was arrested. I wonder if her delicate body can hold on.
Xia Sen was also very worried about the little princess and was pacing around in the courtyard.
Although he had acquired some medical skills, his martial arts prowess was still inferior to that of the other assassins, and he was no longer allowed to go out and watch the battle.
