Qing He's eyes widened, and she took a step back, staring at Qing Ju, who was kneeling on the ground, in disbelief. She asked anxiously, "Qing Ju, what did you say? They're all...dead?"

Qing Ju knelt with her head lowered. After a moment of silence, she nodded with difficulty and said two words sadly: "Yes!"

When Liu Qingxiu heard this, her face turned pale and she swayed, almost losing her balance. Qing He and Qing Ling quickly supported her and tried to get her to sit on a stool.

She shook off their hands, walked to Qing Ju, picked her up, slapped her and said:

"What happened? Explain it to me!"

Qing Ju ignored the pain on her face, stood up straight, raised her head, gritted her teeth, and said with difficulty: "Master, when I went to Zhongling Street to inquire about the situation, Zhongling Street had already been blocked by the city defense army."

"I heard that Princess Jing was captured by assassins on Zhongling Street. I thought Qingzhu and the others must have succeeded. So I came back to report to you, Pavilion Master."

She sighed and continued, "Later, I wanted to go to Zhongling Street to see for myself if the situation was true. So I sneaked in quietly.

When we arrived at the square on Zhongling Street, Qing Zhu and the others were long gone. The defenders were clearing the square, and I saw several dead people, some of them ours. I inquired and learned that Princess Jing had been captured by assassins and fled towards Jinhe.

"Ouyang Yunyao was caught, how can you say they are all dead?" Liu Qingxiu interrupted Qingju excitedly.

"Pavilion Master, I was also very happy at that time. When I knew Qing Zhu and the others were heading towards Jinhe, I thought they must be luring the people chasing them to Yinping Mountain to deal with them."

Qing Ju was silent for a moment, then continued, "Pavilion Master, but... I didn't expect that I would find our people lying dead on the ground at the corner of Yinping Mountain, and they were all killed by a single sword." A trace of grief flashed in her eyes.

But Qingju and Qingzhu grew up together, and they are the only two people here who have a deep relationship.

"Qingju! You said that they were all killed by one sword? Who is so powerful?" Qing Ling asked without any belief.

In reality, they didn't know that the so-called "kill with one sword" was because those people were all stunned by Ouyang Yunyao. Chu Feng, Wei Lei, and An Yi, to save trouble, all killed them with a single sword stroke on the neck.

Liu Qingxiu's face instantly turned ashen. She glared at Qingju fiercely, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief. "Are you saying that Ouyang Yunyao actually escaped, and so many of us died?"

"Is Feng Wu dead too?" Feng San asked in a trembling voice.

Qing Ju suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "Master, I haven't found the bodies of Qing Zhu and Feng Wu. I haven't seen the Princess Jing either. Was she..." She wanted to say that the two of them must have been captured.

But before she could finish her words, Feng San's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Master, Master, so Feng Wu and Qing Zhu took Princess Jing away, and the others died to cover their retreat."

Qing He also said excitedly: "Pavilion Master, Feng San is right! Feng Wu and Qing Zhu will not be in any danger. Wait a minute, they will definitely be able to capture Princess Jing."

Qing Ju, who had been eclipsed, heard this, and hope rekindled in her eyes. She patted her head and felt that she was so stupid. She had just guessed that Qing Zhu might have been captured, and she felt very sad.

Now that they had said that, they realized that Qing Zhu was not only a martial arts expert, but also had a good poison technique. How could she be captured so easily? Moreover, she had the even more powerful Feng Wu by her side.

If Ouyang Yunyao knew what they were thinking, she would just chuckle. The Qing Zhu you're talking about is someone who has met an aunt who is immune to all poisons, and this aunt even has a heaven-defying space.

At this time, hope appeared in Liu Qingxiu's eyes. She didn't believe that her subordinates would die so easily.

She nodded and said to Feng San, "Feng San, when it's late at night, take a few people with you to look for them."

"Yes, Master," Feng San replied, then frowned and looked at Liu Qingxiu in confusion. "Master, the people Feng Wu brought were all skilled in martial arts. How could they be killed by a single sword strike? Who in Kyoto City has such formidable skills?"

Qing He, Qing Ju, and Qing Ling couldn't help but gasp when they heard Feng San's question. "Yeah! Who has this kind of kung fu that could kill nearly twenty of them with a single sword strike?"

Liu Qingxiu was silent for a moment, and then she became puzzled. She looked at Qingju with a sharp gaze and asked, "Qingju, are you sure? They were all killed by a single sword?"

"Master, I am not wrong. I found that they were all dead, and I couldn't believe it when I saw their wounds. So I checked their wounds again, and it was true that they were all killed by a single sword." Qing Ju answered affirmatively.

"Qingju, is there not even any sign of a fight at the scene?" Qinghe still couldn't believe it and asked.

Qing Ju shook her head: "No, I didn't see any signs of fighting."

Liu Qingxiu pondered for a moment and made a judgment: "If we talk about the most powerful kung fu masters in Kyoto, they are Chu Chenjing and Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao. Chu Chenxiao couldn't have left the palace, so it is very likely that Chu Chenjing was the one who did it."

Then she said uncertainly, "But his skills are not so profound that he can kill all of us with one sword without even being able to fight back." She didn't believe it.

"Master, could it be that someone else also wants to snatch Princess Jing from us?" Feng San frowned.

Then he added, "Master, could it be the person behind the Wanhua Tower who did this?"

He simply didn't believe that Prince Jing Chu Chenjing had such unfathomable kung fu that he could kill so many masters among them with just one sword.

Speaking of the master behind Wanhua Tower, Liu Qingxiu thought of the mysterious man wearing a mask. She guessed that he was the master of Wanhua Tower.

Thinking of him, she couldn't help but feel a slight chill in her heart. Then she shook her head and denied it. If it was him, he would never kill her people.

Liu Qingxiu said, "It shouldn't be someone from Wanhua Tower."

"Pavilion Master, could it be that someone from Danyan Country attacked us from behind and wanted to snatch Princess Jing?" Qing Ju asked.

Liu Qingxiu sneered, "They don't have that ability yet." At this moment, she couldn't think of who had such advanced skills.

Then a hint of cruelty flashed in Liu Qingxiu's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"All of this is blamed on Ouyang Yunyao. Once Qing Zhu and Feng Wu capture her, I will make sure she lives a life worse than death!"

"Pavilion Master, I will make her taste our methods." Qing Ju said viciously with a ferocious look in her eyes.
