Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The pursuers kept pouring over.
Zhou Yuyan slowly drove the carriage. Originally, she had already heard the sound of horse hooves and thought that Dawa had finally caught up. However, after a while, the sound of horse hooves changed direction and walked away.
She leaned out and looked back, only to see the back of a horse.
“Did he leave something behind?” She muttered to herself. After a while, she felt a powerful killing intent. Her eyes turned cold as she suddenly pulled the reins tightly and stopped the carriage.
Mu Qing, who was in the carriage, lost his balance and pounced over. Zhou Yuyan raised her hand to block him and did not let him fall to the ground.
“What happened, Senior Sister?” Mu Qing asked in confusion.
Zhou Yuyan said warily, “I think someone came. I’ll go see how Dawa is. Don’t stay in the carriage. Go find a place to hide!”
“Oh.” Upon hearing that it was dangerous, Mu Qing did not dare to hesitate. He put on his bamboo hat and hid in a house not far away.
Zhou Yuyan saw that he had hidden himself and used her qinggong to flash in the direction where Dawa had left.
When she arrived at the event location, the pursuers had already arrived. There was a team, and every one of them was holding a shining crossbow. These were not the palace guards she had seen in the past, but more like a mysterious imperial guard.
Beside Dawa’s horse, Dawa was kneeling on one knee with the Second Madam, who had been shot and was covered in blood, in his arms. He was crying like a child.
Zhou Yuyan’s eyebrows twitched as she frowned in disbelief. Why did such a tragic thing happen after leaving for a while?
The Second Madam, who was clearly smiling sweetly a second ago, had become covered in blood now… Did this group of guards dare to kill anyone they see? Didn’t they see the two of them clearly? One was the Sorcerer Queen’s younger brother, and the other was the daughter of the Nie family? Or had Dawa’s identity been exposed?
In just an instant, countless doubts flashed across Zhou Yuyan’s mind. Of course, now was not the time to deal with these doubts. She had to quickly defeat the pursuers and take them away.
Zhou Yuyan took out the whip at her waist, rose into the air, and ruthlessly attacked a guard who was shooting arrows at Dawa and the Second Madam.
With a loud bang, the crossbow in the guard’s hand was split into two by the internal energy on the long whip. The guard was immediately shocked. He pulled out the sword at his waist and attacked Zhou Yuyan. Zhou Yuyan did not give him a chance. She curled the long whip and broke his neck.
This was Zhou Yuyan’s first kill.
It was true that she was skilled in martial arts, but she was the daughter of the Zhou family. She had a father who doted on her and a junior sister and brother who respected her. No one had wronged her. Instead of saying that she practiced martial arts to protect herself, it was more like she did it to strengthen her body. She had never thought of killing anyone.
But the current situation did not allow her to be soft-hearted. She was furious when she saw such a kind woman fall in a pool of blood.
What kind of beasts would attack a weak woman?
The remaining pursuers also discovered Zhou Yuyan and aimed their crossbows at her. An overwhelming number of arrows shot at her.
Zhou Yuyan waved her long whip like an invisible shield, blocking the arrows in rows. One of them brushed past her head and shot towards Dawa behind her. Zhou Yuyan turned around in shock. “Be careful!”
Dawa’s heart had died and hugged the Second Madam without moving. It was as if his soul had been sucked dry and he could not hear the surrounding movements at all.
Zhou Yuyan pulled back to sweep away an arrow, but a guard grabbed her whip.
Her eyes turned sharp and her internal energy shook, shaking the guard away. However, she also missed the best time to intercept the arrow.
Just as the arrow was about to stab Dava’s heart, a dart flew over and blocked the arrow.
Zhou Yuyan looked at the dart that had landed on the ground and was delighted. “Shadow Six!” A tall figure descended from the sky, but it was not Shadow Six. “Thirteen?” Zhou Yuyan was secretly shocked. Wasn’t that Shadow Six’s hidden weapon? Why did he know it too? Could it be that Shadow Six’s was his, and his was Shadow Six’s?
Her gaze landed on the leather glove at Shadow Thirteen’s waist. This was bought by Shadow Six for Shadow Thirteen. He bought one for himself too. It really matched.
Clank!
Shadow Thirteen raised the sword in his hand and parried the arrow that was shot at Zhou Yuyan. “Why are you in a daze? Are you courting death?”
Zhou Yuyan came back to her senses in fear. She gripped the whip in her hand tightly and sent another arrow flying..
