"Let her go!" With an angry shout, Ji Wuchen appeared at the scene like a god sent from heaven.

He witnessed everything that happened before his eyes, and the anger in his heart instantly burned.

His roar was deafening, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.

At the same time, a sword shining with cold light appeared out of thin air in Ji Wuchen's hand. It rushed out like lightning and stabbed straight towards the black shadow.

The black shadow felt the powerful pressure from Ji Wuchen and was forced to let go of the hand that was tightly holding Ye Ying.

Without support, Ye Ying fell heavily to the ground like an abandoned rag doll. Her body was shaking due to lack of oxygen, and her breathing became abnormally rapid, as if every breath was a torture.

"Are you sent by the Demon Lord?" Ji Wuchen quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Ye Ying up, his concern evident in his words. Then, Ji Wuchen asked the black shadow, his eyes flashing with rage, wishing to tear the black shadow in front of him into pieces immediately.

However, in response to Ji Wuchen's questioning, the black shadow simply sneered and did not make any response.

Then, something unexpected happened—the black shadow disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, just like smoke.

This sudden change shocked Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen so much that they even wondered if they were hallucinating.

If the shadow's words and his icy laughter were not still echoing in the air, they would probably have really thought that all this was just an illusory dream.

At this moment, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen fell into deep thought.

Who is this mysterious black shadow? Why did he attack Ye Ying?

What did he mean by "waiting to die"?

......…Countless questions came to their minds, making them feel confused and uneasy.

At this moment, Ji Wuchen had no time to care about the black shadow. After all, the most important person to him was Ye Ying. He stared at Ye Ying with a concerned look and asked anxiously, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Ye Ying shook her head gently, trying her best to recover some strength. She covered her neck, coughed a few times, and then responded: "I'm fine..." However, her voice sounded a little weak.

Ji Wuchen's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes staring into the distance, as if he was lost in deep thought.

The appearance of the black shadow just now was obviously premeditated, and he knew their every move very well. This situation made Ji Wuchen extremely confused and worried.

An ominous premonition hung heavily over the two of them, like a dark cloud before a storm...

"It seems that our actions have been exposed." Ji Wuchen said solemnly.

"Could there be a traitor among us?" Ye Ying put forward his own guess.

Ji Wuchen was silent for a moment, then shook his head slowly and firmly. "This is unlikely... Only a few of us know about this plan, and these people are absolutely trustworthy partners..."

“Who could that be…?” Ye Ying murmured to herself, her voice sounding a little confused and doubtful, but more of it was worry about the unknown danger.
