The three of them climbed over the vines and onto the cliff.
Last night's heavy snowfall in the forest turned the entire forest white, and the morning sunlight shining on the snow was dazzling.
"Someone was controlling wild beasts to attack yesterday. We must find them, but who could control such a large number of wild beasts to attack at the same time?"
This person's skill level is definitely not low.
Shen Nanzhi replied, "It is rumored that there is a secret technique in the Southern Frontier that can control wild beasts using flute music. However, being able to control the attacks of both a black bear and a tiger at the same time is definitely the work of a top-tier master."
Mu Chenshuang frowned. This level of assassin couldn't be hired just because you had money.
In the martial arts world, being ranked at the "Heavenly" level is enough to prove the other party's strength; they are a master among masters.
Even if she were to fight against a top-tier expert, she would probably only manage a draw.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Fu Junheng. He had silver hair and golden eyes, an exquisite profile, and a refined and elegant demeanor. His clothes fluttered in the wind as he stood amidst the snow-covered mountains, like a god descending to earth.
That glance truly amazed and dazed her.
Because his eyepiece was on his hand, there was no obstruction in his vision. Judging from his appearance, his eyes seemed to be fine. After three treatments, he should be able to adapt to dim light without any problems.
Fu Junheng glanced at her sideways.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her gaze, concealing her emotions. "The people from yesterday were probably after Crown Prince Junheng."
For a master of such caliber to come after her, it's giving her far too much credit.
Fu Junheng raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the forest. His eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice, "The search area is too large. We're luring the snake out of its hole."
The three split up, with Fu Junheng heading in the other direction.
Mu Chenshuang was startled, turned around, and frowned as she watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance.
“Crown Prince Junheng is a disciple of Thousand Absolute Valley, and his martial arts are extraordinary. Shuang’er, you don’t need to worry.”
Upon hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, her eyes darkened, and she said calmly, "I'm not worried, let's go!"
After saying that, he jumped.
Shen Nanzhi's eyes darkened, and he followed.
Deep in the forest.
A man dressed in southern Xinjiang clothing leaned against a tiger, closing his eyes to rest, with a black flute tucked into his pocket.
Suddenly.
The wind picked up and the air pressure dropped sharply.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze wary. He looked up and saw the person standing motionless on the main trunk.
Her silver hair cascaded down like flowing light, and her golden eyes held a sharpness colder than frost. Her entire body exuded a chilling aura, as if from hell itself, making people tremble with fear.
The man's heart tightened suddenly, as if under immense pressure. He dodged, but just as he reached mid-air, a figure as fast as lightning appeared, accompanied by a powerful killing intent.
Click!
The sounds of tree trunks snapping echoed repeatedly, especially loud in the silent mountain forest.
The man was instantly killed by a single punch; his body flew through the air, crashing through several tree trunks before falling heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.
The man gritted his teeth, stood up, and began to play the flute in his hand.
The next second.
A sharp, cold gust of air swept over him as his neck was grabbed and he was lifted up.
Even a master of the highest rank would have almost no chance to fight back when he was unarmed.
Fu Junheng gripped the man's neck with her large hand, her eyes filled with murderous intent, her sharp, icy voice like a death warrant, "You originally had a chance to live, but I am in a very bad mood right now, you must die."
Fu Junheng tightened his grip instantly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
At the same time, the man unleashed a powerful burst of energy through self-destruction, breaking free from Fu Junheng's control. He leaped onto a tree and disappeared into a snowy mist.
Just when he thought he could escape, a leaf pierced his neck like a blade, killing him instantly.
Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi did not notice anything unusual on their way down the mountain. With Fu Junheng's abilities, dealing with a Heaven-level expert should not be a problem.
Suddenly remembering the injury on his arm, Mu Chenshuang's heart sank. Reason took over her mind; why was he so concerned about him?
"Shuang'er, what are you thinking about?" Shen Nanzhi asked.
Mu Chenshuang snapped out of her reverie and asked calmly, "There's nothing unusual in this forest. I wonder if Crown Prince Junheng has dealt with it?"
"I had heard that Crown Prince Junheng was cold and aloof and disliked women. How did Shuang'er get to know him?"
Fu Junheng clearly cared about her a lot, which made him feel a great sense of crisis.
Mu Chenshuang calmly explained, "Because the Prince of Xiaoyao has helped me a few times, I have had some contact with him."
Shen Nanzhi looked at Mu Chenshuang's undisguised expression, her clear eyes showing no hesitation, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
But when he thought about what Fu Junheng said yesterday, what exactly did Shuang'er help him with? How could he say he would spend his whole life repaying her?
"So, the Prince of Xiaoyao and Crown Prince Junheng are very close?"
Shen Nanzhi spent most of his time at the border and rarely heard about events in the capital.
Mu Chenshuang responded.
