Chapter 419: Night Assassination 2

a lone female cultivator. The target was someone she knew well, Ran Miaolan from Yunxian Sect.Ran Miaolan didn't have the luck of ripples. After entering the secret realm, she fought all the way until...To become a royal guard, one must possess exceptional abilities. Moreover, they also serve as assassins, so their combat prowess should not be underestimated.

Su Lin and several others initially had the upper hand against the masked men, killing five or six of them. However, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult for them to succeed.

Although the Masked Man was trapped in the fog, their ears were very sharp. They could sense anyone approaching them immediately. And they didn't just use swords and blades, they also used hidden weapons and poison, injuring the disciples of the Su Nu Palace.

When Lian Yi saw this, she frowned. This wouldn't do. She blew a whistle and called all the disciples of Su Nu Palace back. Then, she leaped down and plunged into the mist.

She drew the Leiyao Sword from the spatial void, and then entered her moment of slaughter. The masked soldiers met her blade with no chance to defend themselves, being slain instantly beneath its edge. In their dying eyes, there was only astonishment.

Ripple didn't have time to pay attention to those. After she dealt with the masked people in the mist, she flashed before the leader of the masked people.

"What were you doing raiding the women's quarters at night"

Ripples asked softly.

The Dark Guard Leader looked at the little girl before him. He didn't feel even a sliver of contempt, instead, his hair stood on end and he gripped the curved blade in his hand tighter.

"Answer my questions. Don't make me ask your master."

Who are you

The Dark Guard leader slowly moved his feet, trying to conceal his figure in the fog.

"You came to the Susu Maiden's Palace and don't even know who I am! Don't retreat, this mist formation was set up by me, wherever you hide I can see you."

Ripples said coldly.

The leader of the dark guards' eyes flashed, he raised his hand and threw out two black balls, then turned and ran into the mist.

The ripples grew impatient. With a deft flick of her sword, she sent the black sphere flying back towards the man's back.

With a deafening roar, the black orb exploded, striking the leader of the guards head-on. He stumbled back two steps, tripped, and fell to the ground. Looking down, he saw the bodies of the other guards sprawled on the floor, already dead for some time.

"I ask again, what did you intend to achieve by raiding the Su Nü Palace at night"

"We want to steal the Xuan Gong of the Pure Woman."

"Not just that!"

The rippling eyes narrowed dangerously.

“”

But the man remained silent.

"Hmph! A dog can't change its nature!"

Liàn Yī coldly snorted, raised her hand and drew her sword, severing the man's head.

These people are Xiangyi's blades, striking wherever she points them. But they have never considered the lives they might end in their hands. These people also have the right to survival, they are not livestock to be slaughtered at will.

If she hadn't been here today, perhaps these people would have really succeeded. Knowing Su Minyi so well, if this group of people had kidnapped her disciple as leverage, she would certainly be willing to sacrifice all her internal power in exchange for her disciple's life. However, considering Princess Xiangyi's domineering personality, how could she possibly leave any survivors

Ripple decided to give Xiangyi a lesson so that she would never dare to provoke Su Nu Palace again.

"Fellow disciples, please throw the corpses of those masked men down the mountain. I'll send their master a grand gift."

As Ling ripples took out a piece of jade from the formation, the mist within the Su Nü Palace gradually dissipated.

That's when they finally saw the bodies littering the ground, and the ripples of her leaving figure.

"Little sister!"

Wang Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, and then said to Su Lin and the others:

"I'll follow my junior sister. You guys deal with these masked men first."

"Go ahead! Let your younger sister take it easy, and try not to use your inner strength."

Su Lin immediately instructed.

"Good!"

Wang Zhenzhen immediately used her light kung fu to follow behind Lian Yi. Her niece was truly a worry.

Xiang Yi was still sitting in her luxurious carriage, waiting for the leader of the guards to escort her to Sù Nǚ Palace. Thinking about the useful internal energy and eternal youth she would soon possess, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Bang!" something crashed into the train car where Xiangyi was sitting, startling her so much that she spilled the teacup in her hand.

"Protect the princess!"

Her male companion beside her immediately shrieked.

"Shut up!"

Xiangyi sneaked out and naturally couldn't reveal her princess identity.

"Ah! This... this is a head!"

The male pet was so frightened that he directly squeezed out of the car window, but unfortunately, the car window was too small and he got stuck.

"Drag him down!"

Xiang Yi's face was as cold as frost, and she gave a frigid order.

"Princess! Spare me! Pub"

Before the last word could be uttered, the male companion was dragged from the carriage by the guards. Under the moonlight, Xiangyi also caught sight of the bloody head, its face clearly visible. It was her head guard leader. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately ordered.

"Go!"

"Want to leave Not so easy!"

With a ripple of his sword, Lian Yi's figure flashed, swiftly eliminating all the guards surrounding the carriage. Then, with a slight glint of his blade, he pierced through the carriage window, leaving a gash across Xiang Yi's face.

"Ah!"

Xiangyi fell inside the carriage, clutching her bloody face, and cried out in pain.

"You'll never stay young forever! Go back to being your hideous princess! Don't ever come back to my Pure Maiden Palace, or next time, I'll take your life!"

After the ripples finished speaking, she plunged her sword into the carriage horse's flank.

The horse cried out in pain, reared up, and galloped away. Xiangyi inside the carriage was tossed about wildly, and the head jumped up and down before finally rolling into her arms.

"Ripples, that Xiangyi is crazy. You messed up her face, she won't let it go, after all, she's a princess."

Later, Wang Zhenzhen arrived. Looking at the departing carriage and the bodies scattered on the ground, she said with worry.

"A princess who's lost her usefulness, how long can she jump around Don't worry, Senior Sister Zhen, since I dare to do this, I naturally have a countermeasure."

Ripple had long since sheathed her sword, and said in a soft voice. She then touched her chest, where it felt faintly painful.

"Ripple, are you alright Master told you not to use your inner strength, why didn't you listen But your chest hurts"

If I can't intimidate her, she will definitely come back to the Sōshi-den. But now she probably doesn't have the guts.

Thank you, Senior Sister Zhen, for your concern. We're returning to the mountain gate now. We need to clean up here too, and I have to reset the mist formation to hide the Su Nu Palace again.

The ripples spoke softly.

Come, I'll carry you up the mountain. We'll handle the rest, you just need to open your mouth.

Wang Zhenzhen, without a word, directly knelt in front of Lianyi and insisted on carrying her back to Suxin Palace.

Ripple touched his aching heart, he could only obediently lie on Wang Zhenzhen's back, and was carried all the way back to Suxian Palace.

Su Lin and Su Lan looked at Lian Yi who was carried back, their faces changed immediately, and they rushed over.

"Little sister, where are you feeling unwell"

"I'm going to call the master!"

But are you hurt

One by one, they asked. Ripple shook her hand and stopped Su Lin, her senior sister who was about to go find the master. She smiled and said:

"Senior sisters and brothers, I'm fine. It was Teacher Zhen who wasn't worried about me, so she carried me back."

"The little junior sister used her inner strength to strike the masked man's master, revealing him to be Princess Xiangyi!"

"That poison woman! What does she want to do"

"To have the Immortal Maiden's Mystical Art and Master's inner strength, to ensure eternal youth!"mmediately pushed himself up with one hand, threw the tear gas grenade he was holding, and focused on countering the attack.The ripples weren't flashy or anything, just simple attacks. Even though sh...
