"Liu Sheng!"
Wood Shadow shouted delicately, the Spiritual Power within her erupted fiercely at this mont, not daring to hold back at all.
But even so... she was suppressed by Liu Sheng’s powerful aura, her face turning red.
"Hmm... a flushed face looks much better."
"Just now, you were cold and dead like a corpse!"
Chen Xuan muttered deliberately under his breath.
Kang Bai, standing nearby, wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
"Have you forgotten what place this is?"
"Or do you think the Shadow Guard is above everything now?"
"Dare to act in my Ritual Departnt, who gave you the courage!"
Liu Sheng shouted angrily.
"Pfft!"
Wood Shadow spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back several steps before steadying herself.
"Hmph!"
Liu Sheng snorted coldly, his aura retracting instantly, he looked at her icy-cold and said calmly, "This is the first and last ti, otherwise don’t bla for not giving face to the National Preceptor!"
Wood Shadow stared at him intently.
She forcefully suppressed the chaotic Spiritual Power within her.
Faced with Liu Sheng’s attack, her expression showed a trace of movent for the first ti.
This is the top combat power of Great Yu.
Even relying on sheer montum, she was severely injured.
But.. as a Shadow Guard, even facing such a formidable Liu Sheng, she would not bow down.
"We’ll see!"
With those words, she turned and left the great hall.
"Phew—"
Kang Bai let out a long sigh of relief, looking at Liu Sheng with great astonishnt in his heart.
The fact that he acted against Wood Shadow was sothing he never anticipated.
Since the ergence of the Shadow Guard, everyone in the Great Yu hierarchy has avoided them.
Even hearing the words ’Shadow Guard’ made their hearts pound in fear.
Let alone confront them.
"This is probably the first ti, right?"
Kang Bai mumbled in his heart, this undoubtedly severely offended the Shadow Guard, making the Ritual Departnt’s future days... very difficult.
Especially him... he glanced at Chen Xuan.
Those two remarks just now.
He actually publicly mocked Wood Shadow, simply insane.
At this mont, Liu Sheng turned towards Chen Xuan and scolded, "You really don’t know the imnsity of heaven and earth, daring to mock Wood Shadow, you’re truly not afraid of death."
But although it was a scolding, his eyes showed no sign of bla, instead, there was a sense of appreciation.
"Why should I be afraid if I haven’t done anything wrong?"
"At worst, I won’t be Prince Xuan anymore."
"It would be more relaxing."
"There’s always soone watching under the bed, I don’t dare to close my eyes to sleep."
Chen Xuan laughed, looking relaxed, without a trace of worry.
"Learn!"
Liu Sheng turned to Kang Bai, with a look of slight disdain, "You’ll be the future Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Departnt, what are you worrying about."
"What can the Shadow Guard do to you?"
"Seeing your fearful look a mont ago, it infuriates ."
"Uh—"
Kang Bai gave a bitter smile.
He truly felt wronged in his heart, being scolded for no reason.
But he was used to it, as Liu Sheng often did this for no reason.
He quickly returned to normal, but his gaze turned to Chen Xuan.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan chuckled, unexpectedly becoming soone referred to as a ’kid.’
Kang Bai rolled his eyes helplessly.
"What are you laughing at!"
Liu Sheng once again sat down, looking out of the hall, his thoughts unknown.
After a long ti, he looked at Kang Bai and said solemnly, "Spread the word that Prince Xuan of the Molan Mansion was assassinated, rumored to be done by the Shadow Guard."
Hearing this, Kang Bai furrowed his brow.
"If that’s said... things will blow up, and it will be problematic to manage later."
"Hmph."
Liu Sheng snorted coldly, "It’s better if it blows up."
For many years, the Shadow Guard has been like a sword hanging over their heads, who knows when it will fall.
Always cautious and careful.
But no one dared to speak up, normally, taking advantage of this incident, laying it out in the open.
As for the outco... it depends on what Emperor Yu truly thinks.
"You’re always putting in the hot seat."
Chen Xuan laughed lightly.
"You’re not afraid, what does it matter."
Liu Sheng teased him.
"Alright, you’re the boss, you decide."
Chen Xuan shrugged, he didn’t care, furthermore... Liu Sheng wanted to do this, even if he had ideas, they were useless.
"That’s it, I’m getting old, a bit sleepy, I’ll leave the rest to you."
"If you need anything, find Kang Bai, don’t bother ."
With that said, Liu Sheng left the great hall in one stride.
"Do your thing, I’ll stroll around casually."
"Alright then!"
Kang Bai nodded, he still needed to arrange people to spread the news.
...
Shadow Guard Headquarters.
Wood Shadow sat in the main hall with a frosty expression.
Hua Siyuan and Lao Jiu stood with their heads down in front of her.
"Explain the details of what happened then, don’t leave out a single word."
After a long ti, Wood Shadow finally spoke, her tone extrely cold.
Since the establishnt of the Shadow Guard, this kind of situation had never occurred, with two severely wounded mbers, and the remaining five detained by the Ritual Departnt, she had to personally retrieve them.
Humiliation!
"Yes!"
The two responded in unison.
After that, Hua Siyuan recounted the situation at the ti in detail, regarding the Array, it was Lao Jiu who spoke.
"So he really might not have known your identities at that ti?"
Wood Shadow asked in a deep voice.
"That we don’t know, but at that ti his tone seed like he didn’t know."
Hua Siyuan recalled the situation then.
Guessing he probably didn’t know.
"And just getting close, he discovered you?"
Wood Shadow’s gaze turned to Lao Jiu and asked.
"Yes, sir, this Prince Xuan seems to be particularly sensitive to space, even hiding the Silver Moon Stone in a space rift was useless."
