Chapter 268: Long-Planned

from behind to embrace her waist, pulling her into his arms. His head lowered, resting against her neck.An Xuetang's hands paused for a moment, and instantly felt the back against his chest become sli...After the man in black left, An Xuetang didn't know what she was thinking. She ignored Mo Yunjing and ran away.

Mo Yunjing pursed his lips, his deep eyes fixed on her flustered back, and he followed after her.

An Xuetang ran to the spot where she had previously performed the chest-splitting stone technique. There were no people there anymore. Most of the street lamps had been damaged and extinguished, leaving the scene in disarray. The chairs provided for the audience were overturned into a heap, and several corpses lay on the ground, some belonging to men in black, but most were from Mo Yunjing's faction.

Mo Junyi, Huaduoer, and Yunwu and Yunliu who were protecting Mo Junyi closely have all vanished.

An Xuetang frantically searched around, carefully examining every corpse on the ground. She truly didn't see the figures of Mo Junshi and the others.

Mo Yunjing stood not far away, borrowing the faint moonlight to look at her bloody little face. He walked over to her with heartache and pulled her into his arms, "Don't look any further, Zi Ling has been caught."

An Xuetang stayed rooted to the spot, but quickly regained her composure. She looked at Mo Yunjing and said, "A-Jing, can you find those people"

Her words were chillingly cold. Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists. No one had expected this brutal act to occur on a night that should have been filled with merriment. If she were to see those people, she would surely tear them limb from limb.

Mo Yunjing fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Yes, by noon tomorrow, Yun will definitely bring back news."

An Xuetang's heart was still hanging. She gently pushed away Mo Yunjing and walked to the side of the black-clad man lying on the ground, slowly squatting down.

She pulled the black face mask off his face. These people's features were strangers to her.

Mo Yunjing also walked over, and he pulled An Xuetang back before using his sword to cut open a certain spot on this person's body.

Seeing the tiger-head tattoo, An Xue Tang was startled and looked at Mo Yun Jing, "These are people from the Liji Jian Pai."

"Mm."

Mo Yunjing's profound eyes narrowed slightly. He wanted to know if it was his severed arms and legs, or the people from Lijiandao. After connecting these two things, Mo Yunjing immediately guessed the person behind Lijiandao — Mo Yunren.

He always knew that there was a prince behind the sword sect, and he had always suspected these two, Mo Yunren and Mo Yunze.

Alas, these two were deeply concealed, and despite his extensive investigations, he was unable to determine which of them was the culprit.

Now he could finally be sure that the dark clouds behind the sword sect were definitely those of Mo Yunren.

Mo Yunren was punished by Mo Yunjing for suggesting to the emperor that Mo Yunchen's arm should be cut off. He had both his arm and a leg severed as punishment.

Now, the Jian Pai's move is clearly to make Mo Yunjing exchange his arms and legs for Mo Junyi. This is very purposeful in that Mo Yunren wants revenge, it's hard not to guess.

Today so many people have come to Jianpai, it seems Mo Yunren is ready to go all out. He's determined to make him pay the price no matter what.

Thinking that it was this Lijiang Sect causing trouble again, An Xuetang's whole body was filled with killing intent. She clenched her fists, her eyes red and gritted her teeth, "It's this Lijiang Sect again."

If she had the chance, she would personally destroy this gang!

No matter who is backing them, anyone who dares to harm her Ziling deserves to die!

As soon as An Xue Tang finished speaking, she suddenly heard a low hum, the voice sounded somewhat familiar. She frowned and quickly turned to walk toward that corner.

As expected, there was someone in the corner, and it was someone An Xue Tang knew...... Hong'er.

Hong'er heard the sound of someone approaching, and she was so scared that her whole body trembled. She curled up and didn't dare to look up!

Hong'er's arm was constantly dripping with blood, making An Xue Tang's brows furrow even deeper.

"Hong'er, it's me."

"!!"

Hearing An Xue Tang's voice, Hong Er suddenly looked up and burst into tears. She cried out to An Xue Tang, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please save my young mistress, please! Your Highness, you must save my young mistress."

An Xuetang crouched down to stop the bleeding on her arm before she could even speak. Mo Yunjing stood behind An Xuetang, coldly addressing Hong'er, "Tell us everything that happened and everything you saw."

Mo Yunjing's emotionless voice made Hong'er shiver involuntarily. She trembled all over, "S-slave... slave girl..."

An Xuetang patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, think about it and tell me when you're ready, don't miss any details."

An Xuetang's voice did make Hong er's body tremble less. She took a deep breath and calmed down before she had the courage to slowly recall what had just happened.

Originally, after they had gathered to watch for a while, Mo Junyi grew restless and wanted to have some fun. So, he and Yunliu approached those people and asked them to perform.

Those people readily agreed without much persuasion, but when Yunliu lay down and was pinned by several stones, those who had previously performed suddenly changed their faces and sprinkled some white medicine powder on them. Yunliu and Mo Junyi then fainted.

Yun Wu was startled and immediately unleashed a palm strike, but suddenly, several people in the watching crowd drew their swords and attacked Yun Wu.

The scene descended into chaos, with people running about in disarray. She had intended to pull her young mistress aside and hide, but her mistress resolutely walked towards Mo Jiumen.

She also wanted to run over to accompany her young mistress, but she was stabbed by a man in black with a sword. Her young mistress saw this and, fearing for her life, told her to hide and wait for An Xuetang.

She had no choice but to obey and hide, or else her mistress would die right in front of her.

She ran with the crowd, eventually ending up in this corner. She watched helplessly as people outside died and were injured, and finally her young mistress and Mo Junyi were carried away.

Even in his coma, Yunliu was stabbed in both legs. Yunwu was severely injured. As those people left, Yunwu managed to wake Yunliu, and the two of them followed after them. All of this happened in less than a minute.

She later tried to run out to seek help, but for some reason her foot slipped and she fell directly, hitting her head on the ground and fainting. The sound she had just made was a muffled grunt of pain as she woke up.

Just after hearing Hong'er's reminiscences, An Xuetang heard the sound of many horses' hooves coming towards them.

The soldiers of Mo Yunjing have arrived, unfortunately... it's too late!

Tonight, many soldiers were stationed in the city, but they were still completely wiped out. It seems that those who left Jian Pai had been lurking in the city for a long time, watching their every move.

An Xuetang tore down her skirt and bandaged Hong'er's wound before having the soldiers take her back to camp to see a doctor.

And those late-arriving soldiers were kneeling before Mo Yunjing, confessing their wrongs, and the yamen officials finally appeared.

Only after hearing their account did An Xuetang realize the extent of the plot set up by Liji Sword Sect. They had even laid ambushes along the way, preventing Mo Yunjing's soldiers and government officials from arriving in time.

To capture Mo Junyi, they truly went to great lengths.

Mo Yunjing scowled, ordering them to be punished later. First, they had to deal with the corpses in the city!

In less than an hour, Yun Yi returned.the seal on the imperial edict is""Huh What is it"Isn't that just a seal representing the emperor's status Could there be other interpretationsBefore he could ponder for long, Mo Yunjing spoke again,...
