These words startled Yun Shu and the others.
"Who? Who said that? How come Grandpa didn't hear? Who dares to be so audacious!" Yun Changfeng's killing intent surged uncontrollably upon hearing this.
How malicious!
But why hadn't he heard it?
Yun Shu knew Xiao Li could hear others' thoughts, so she wasn't surprised. However, Xiao Li seemed to be hearing more than before? With her and Zhan Tianye's internal energy, they hadn't heard the slightest sound.
This was enough to prove that the person speaking was not nearby.
The voices in her ears now became very, very faint. Zhan Xiao Li's face was no longer so pale. She looked around and pointed to a spot not far to the southwest, "It's over there, five people."
Zhan Tianye's cold eyes swept over, a terrifying killing intent flashing within them.
They actually wanted to desecrate Grandpa's tomb?
Seeing the latent aura of the God of Slaughter emanating from Zhan Tianye, Yun Shu grabbed his arm. "Leave one alive. We need to find out the master they mentioned."
"They deserve to die!" Qiu Lu gnashed his teeth in anger.
Yun Xiao Jing gave Zhan Xiao Li a thumbs-up. "Xiao Li, you're amazing! You can hear everything. You can hear more than just bad people's thoughts now!"
Zhan Xiao Li shook her head. "I don't understand either. I couldn't hear before. I don't know why I can suddenly hear them."
Yun Changfeng was dumbfounded.
He looked at Zhan Xiao Li, then at Yun Xiao Jing, and then at Zhan Xiao Feng.
Were his three grandchildren too extraordinary?
How could they all be so formidable?
"Father, you take Xiao Li and the others back first. We'll stay here," Yun Shu said to Yun Changfeng.
Yun Changfeng really wanted to stay and personally teach these scoundrels a lesson!
But Xiao Li and the others were still young. They couldn't be frightened and shouldn't be put in danger.
Let Shu'er and Prince Ye deal with those bastards.
He would have a good hug with his three grandchildren!
Oh my!
If it weren't for the need to be low-key in his dealings with people, he would want to boast to everyone he met! He wished everyone in the world was jealous of him for having three grandchildren.
Just as Yun Changfeng took Zhan Xiao Li and the others away.
Immediately after, several hidden guards appeared beside Yun Shu and Zhan Tianye.
Zhan Tianye sat in his chair, his gaze seeming to pierce through the dense forest, seeing the assassins hidden far away.
"Let's go."
...
In the blink of an eye, the winds and clouds shifted.
Just moments ago, the sky was clear and bright, but suddenly dark clouds covered the entire sky. There was no wind around, and the vegetation stood motionless.
The birds and beasts in the forest seemed to sense danger and scattered in all directions.
Several assassins quietly moved forward.
They were extremely vigilant.
They paid attention to every movement around them.
When the birds on the branches flapped their wings and took flight, they immediately became alert. "Someone's here!"
Before one person's warning had even finished.
Arrows of pitch darkness flew from all directions.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air made them cry out, "Ambush!"
"Be careful!"
They were hidden in such a secluded spot. They had surveyed the terrain beforehand. There was no way anyone could have found them.
They thought it was impossible, but the reality was that they were surrounded!
Their whereabouts had been discovered!
However, they were not panicked at all. A few arrows were nothing to them.
The once cold-blooded and ruthless assassins moved swiftly, their martial arts skills superb, and their reactions lightning-fast.
The arrows were all deflected.
But what happened next made their eyes widen.
Sleeping gas!
Screams of surprise were heard.
They couldn't help but inhale.
Then they immediately covered their mouths and noses, holding their breath.
But it was too late.
The sleeping gas had already entered their mouths and noses.
Fortunately, several of them had high physical resilience and some resistance to this sleeping gas.
They still found it incredible. How had their whereabouts been leaked? They had never leaked their whereabouts before!
This was a very important order from their master. Were they going to be assassinated here before they could even make a move?
"Who? Who is it?"
Suddenly, several figures descended from the sky.
They moved to engage the assassins with their weapons.
As they narrowly dealt with the attacks, they suddenly saw a man in a wheelchair and a woman not far away.
The aura of these two was undeniable.
One glance at them sent an inexplicable chill down one's spine.
They recognized these two!
Prince Ye, Miss Yun the Second!
Yun Shu stood with her hands behind her back, a few small hidden weapons in her palm, rolling them back and forth.
She watched for the opportune moment.
The hidden weapons flew from between her slender fingers.
They broke through the air at an unimaginable speed.
*Swish!*
It landed in the heart of an assassin.
The assassin looked down at his chest in shock.
Blood gushed out rapidly.
Then he stared directly at Yun Shu before falling straight down.
Zhan Tianye looked up at Yun Shu. In his dark eyes, besides love, there was also admiration.
No woman could be so graceful while engaging in combat and throwing hidden weapons.
The remaining four assassins, weakened by the sleeping gas, had their combat effectiveness reduced by more than half compared to before.
Even though they were usually very brave, they were quickly at a disadvantage against these equally skilled hidden guards.
The hidden guards had already been prepared.
As the four assassins were about to be captured, their eyes met, and they were about to swallow poison and commit suicide.
A silver needle flew from Yun Shu's hand.
It stopped one person from committing suicide.
The other three immediately fell to the ground.
Silence finally fell upon the surroundings.
The hidden guards immediately looked at Zhan Tianye, awaiting his orders.
"Dispose of the bodies."
Don't let these corpses dirty this forest.
"Yes!"
Yun Shu said to Zhan Tianye, "Let's interrogate the one alive here. Taking him back would lead to more trouble."
Zhan Tianye nodded and issued an order, "Bring him over."
A hidden guard dragged the assassin, whose acupoints were sealed by the silver needle, rendering him unable to move, before Zhan Tianye and Yun Shu.
The assassin's face was full of defiance. This was their first defeat! The mission had failed!
Last time, they had clearly made Prince Ye and Miss Yun the Second flee in disarray!
Who could have imagined that he would now be prostrate before them?
It was an ambush, otherwise, they would never have been defeated so miserably!
"Who is your master?" Zhan Tianye questioned coldly.
The assassin couldn't speak. He pointed to his mouth.
Yun Shu threw over a branch and touched his acupoint, allowing only his right hand to move.
If he were allowed to speak, he would surely bite his tongue and commit suicide by poison.
Seeing this, the assassin stared at the branch, motionless, clearly intending to remain loyal to his master.
He showed a resolute demeanor, as if he would rather die than betray.
Zhan Tianye glanced at a hidden guard.
The hidden guard immediately stepped on the assassin's head.
A steel needle was aimed at the assassin's eye.
The assassin's eyes widened. His movable hand frantically grabbed at the grass on the ground.
Yun Shu's voice was gentle but held an underlying sharpness, "Your master sent people to assassinate me. You should know I practice medicine, right?"
