The crowd dispersed quickly, but the battle continued.
The leader of the prisoner rescue hadn’t expected his plan to fail, and he realized that they were at a disadvantage in the fight. Glancing at Master Nianyi who was tied up nearby, he knew they couldn’t be saved today and sent out the signal to retreat.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Those preparing to retreat suddenly all collapsed to the ground one after another.
"What the..." The lone remaining leader looked around in bewildernt.
Actually, Steward Jiang in his sedan chair not far away, as well as Bin Kui on horseback ready to act at any mont, were also bewildered. What was happening? Did their subordinates possess supernatural skills to knock people down from a distance?
But this was not the ti to consider that, as there was still one person standing.
Despair filled the leader’s eyes. The mission had failed, and everyone he brought was lost. His only outcos were capture or suicide, so he raised the treasure sword to his throat.
Unfortunately, before he could exert any force, sothing bit his wrist, and the treasure sword clattered to the ground.
The Governnt Officials sward him, pinning him down. Soone even dislocated his jaw.
In truth, he was frustrated. The poison sachet in his tooth was his last resort, but after being bitten, he didn’t even have the strength to open his mouth.
Death had beco a luxury.
By then, Xiaolun had already returned to Yang Ruxin’s wrist and was tucked away in a space.
"No one escaped outside." Du Juan quickly returned. She had been monitoring the periter with the Shadow Guards to prevent anyone from leaving. Now that she saw nobody had escaped, she returned.
Yang Ruxin nodded, "Let’s go back."
"Sister, are you okay?" Yu Qingge rushed out anxiously.
"Let’s go." Yang Ruxin grabbed her hand and hurried away. She didn’t want to stand out at this mont; she only acted to confirm those people’s identities.
She hadn’t expected them to be from the Sun Cult because she saw the Sun Cult symbol, a crescent-shaped three-petaled fla, on the arm of the woman killed by her poison.
Ever since inadvertently saving Wanren Villa, it seed the presence of the Sun Cult was everywhere, indicating their significant agenda.
Did the Emperor know about this? And how did so many people from Wa Country enter without notice? Moreover, for them to operate so freely, could it be that soone in the court was their ally?
A series of questions erged in Yang Ruxin’s mind.
For now, she couldn’t figure it out and could only wait for Gu Qingheng to return.
From a distance, Steward Jiang and Bin Kui looked thoughtfully at the backs of these individuals. Despite the chaos, they noticed sothing different, like how no one was actually injured. Though soone was scratched, it seed they were quickly saved and left...
The two exchanged a glance from afar and shared a mutual understanding.
News of an attempt to rescue the criminal soon reached the Palace.
Emperor Xuanjing erupted in anger, declaring their audacity, but he didn’t break anything this ti. Instead, he praised Steward Jiang and Bin Kui. As for the person who warned about the poison, they were to continue the search. Such a person deserved recognition and a reward.
