Because if they wished to kill Princess Ling ng, they must first kill the one who issued the flying daggers!
However, that person is… a pinnacle Sky Xuan expert! Even if all nine of them were to join forces, it would only take the expert the ti it takes to lift one's hand to finish them off.
At this ti, the Sky Xuan expert hidden on the roof had already activated his entire spiritual awareness. Closing his eyes tightly, he endeavored to detect every single powerful existence.
However…
After using his spiritual awareness to search, this Sky Xuan expert's eyes widened in horror. Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead, evidence of how much fear was within his eyes at this point!
Because he was unable to find the presence of any powerful existence.
'Who was it that had helped Ling ng?'
A look of gratitude appeared in his eyes as he silently saluted the empty air. His manner was respectful, as though he were seeing his ancestors.
In the street below, the leader of the assassins revealed an expression of resignation in his eyes; his expression changed for a bit before he finally looked up and shouted. "Since senior would not permit this junior to be presumptuous, this junior will leave!"
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
Realizing that the expert had no intentions of revealing himself and hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer, he waved his hand. "Withdraw!"
But just as they were about to retreat, a cold voice suddenly spoke out. "After killing so many people, you want to leave by just saying that? Did you think you could get off that easy?"
Following these words, a blue figure suddenly appeared on the corner of the street, blocking the escape path of the nine n in black.
Loneliness, dismal, solitude, bleakness… embodied within this man were all these negative emotions that would cause anyone to feel extrely sad!
Princess Ling ng's face lit up as she cried out. "Uncle Ye, it is really you. ng'er feels so happy!"
The expression of the two assassin leaders suddenly underwent a great change, their eyes contracting at the sa ti as they coldly asked. "Solitary Star of the Horizon, Ye Guhan? It turned out to be you! Isn't your weapon of choice the sword? Since when did you start to use flying daggers to mystify people?"
"It does not matter what I use; it will be more than enough to kill you pieces of trash!" Ye Guhan glanced over the nine assassins before looking at Princess Ling ng. His eyes revealed a rare expression of warmth and affection. "Little ng is misbehaving again, going out of the palace secretly. Now you have encountered a dangerous situation, are you frightened?"
"With Uncle Ye here, ng'er will definitely be safe," Princess Ling ng smiled lovingly.
Ye Guhan had already determined that the mysterious expert would not co forth, but he was unwilling to allow these assassins to leave. Thus, he had revealed himself.
It didn't take much effort for him to finish off the assassins.
A few of them tried to run away, but with Jun Mo Xie's presence, how could they even have thoughts of living alive?
For a group of Gold and Silver level experts to go against a Sky Xuan expert was no different from smashing a rock with eggs. There was no hope for them to erge victorious at all.
Princess Ling ng frowned, seemingly unable to stand the thick scent of blood. She walked forward. "Uncle Ye, when did you learn this wonderful flying dagger technique? Once we go back, you must teach , please!"
Once the dagger was ntioned, Ye Guhan suddenly recovered himself. He imdiately cupped both his hands ceremoniously as he faced the sky and spoke in a clear voice. "Thank you, senior, for extending your aid today. This Ye feels highly grateful! Princess Ling ng's experience is shallow. If she sohow offended Senior, I hope Senior would be benevolent and not pay it any mind. If the senior has any requests for , please say the word. This junior would certainly endeavor with all my might to accomplish it in order to repay the senior's favor!"
"Uncle Ye? This is… what are you talking about?" Princess Ling ng stared at him curiously with wide-open eyes.
"ng'er, those words of yours were too careless. Those words are a great offense to the one who saved you. The senior who issued out the dagger to save you is soone else! In addition, this senior's level of cultivation far surpasses mine. No, it would be more accurate to say I am unable to even compare with soone like him!" Ye Guhan told her in an imposing manner. "That dagger is the pinnacle of blessings! It is not sothing that I could send out."
"Ah?" Princess Ling ng cried out in surprise, her delicate hands covering her mouth.
"Sothing like that actually happened? Since Uncle is already a Sky Xuan expert, that would an the senior is an even higher form of existence!"
"That is the absolute truth!" Ye Guhan nodded seriously.
Princess Ling ng gathered herself, turned to face the skies, and gave a deep salute of respect. "Princess Ling ng here, thanks, senior, for rescuing . My nonsensical words earlier were blasphemy against a senior, and yet the senior was generous enough to forgive . I wonder if Senior would be willing to co forth so that Ling ng could apologize and thank you in person?"
The space remained still, and not a sound could be heard.
Jun Mo Xie, who heard everything, continued to act like a dead person the whole ti. He just rolled his eyes at her words, as he was not interested in such things right now.
'Hmph, hypocrite! Just a while ago, you wanted to get away from as soon as possible, and now you want to go to you. Dream on!...'
In the end, he was escorted by an old man who seed to be arranged by his grandfather. It took quite so effort to fool the old man, but in the end, he had so fun.
The old man even applied dicine to his wounds.
While he was resting and enjoying his ti in that old man's ho, the situation outside beca chaotic due to so misunderstandings.
