The Evil Emperor's Beloved

"not good!"

"Miss Jing, let's go help first!"

Without waiting for Jing Yueli to speak, the group of mercenaries leaped out.

"Hey..." Jing Yueli couldn't call out at all.

"Fine!"

Lian Yunchen! She would thank him when she had the chance. Right now, she really needed helpers like them!

Alas, my strength is still too low.

Jing Yueli had no time to feel sad, she quickly rejoined the fight and joined forces with the mercenaries to fight against the group of men in black robes.

The mercenaries were indeed different. They attacked more fiercely than the men in black robes, and their swordsmanship was fierce. One could tell at a glance that their swords had been drinking blood for years.

This also made the man in black robe feel more pressured.

During the fierce battle between the two sides, Jing Yueli kept looking for the key to the black-robed man's formation.

A group of mercenaries, almost everyone has someone protecting them.

Ye Zhengyu and Nan Yuhong were standing next to Jing Yueli.

At the critical moment, the mercenary leader, the mercenary who had just taken off his mask, took the lead and pushed aside the people on both sides of the black-robed leader, and stabbed the man's chest with a sword.

"Puchi" sound, the sound of the sword piercing the flesh.

Sure enough, the leader was injured, and blood had begun to soak the black robe, and the color was getting darker and darker.

When his men saw that the strongest among them was injured, they began to lose their composure.

As the fight went on, the breath of the black-robed leader became increasingly unstable, and the formation they had set up slowly revealed flaws.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black robe began to consider retreating.

As they fought, they gathered around the center, hoping to concentrate their forces for another fierce attack and then look for a chance to evacuate.

However, Jing Yueli and the others would not let them go so easily and pressed on step by step.

"Retreat!" The men in black robes no longer thought about the final blow. They just wanted to leave first.

Hearing that their leader had spoken, they gave up the fight and immediately retreated deep into the jungle.

"Do you want to chase her?" Shi Yu looked at Jing Yueli and asked.

Jing Yueli stopped what she was doing and said, "No need, we can just follow them slowly!"

There are too many injured among them, and it would not be wise to chase them now.

"We must go to the deep forest!" Jing Yueli looked in the direction where the black-robed man fled and said meaningfully.

"I just don't know what kind of treasure is inside that makes these people so impatient!"

Then Jing Yueli bowed and thanked Shi Yu and the others.

"Thanks for today!"

Others also came forward and expressed their gratitude to Shi Yu and the others.

Although I don’t know who this group of people are, they are obviously acquainted with Jing Yueli. They actually helped them, so I must thank them.

This made Shi Yu and the others feel embarrassed, as they were only following orders.

"You're welcome. We are just following orders."

Under orders? It seems that they came in specially, and just to protect her? This... Jing Yueli felt a little guilty, Lian Yunchen was really... eh~~

However, Jing Yueli never treated badly those who showed kindness to her, so she threw a bottle of pills to each of the mercenaries.

If it weren't for Shi Yu and the others' help, the people on their side would definitely be seriously injured. They were no match for the group of black-robed men.

"This is a top-grade elixir!" someone in the mercenary group exclaimed.

"what?"

Shi Yu and others quickly opened the bottles of medicine in their hands.

Then they were overjoyed; they didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain.

"This... this is too expensive. We can't accept it." Shi Yu declined, but his eyes never left the medicine bottle.

Jing Yueli smiled and waved her hand, saying, "This is what you deserve, take it."

"Well, then we won't be polite! Hehe!" Shi Yu and others were very grateful and carefully put the pills into their arms.

You have to know that these mercenaries live on the edge of a knife, and these pills are really important to them.

What’s more, it is a top-grade elixir!

Jing Yueli saw that they were happy to accept them, and then she was a little intrigued, "Maybe next time... they can come in handy. I have plenty of pills here! Just come to me for more when you run out."

Hahahaha, Jing Yueli treats them as thugs!

The others were also trying hard to hold back their laughter when they saw this. They didn’t expect that Jing Yueli could also joke!

"Well, since we all have the same goal, let's act together and we can take care of each other." Jing Yueli awkwardly avoided the topic.

Shi Yu readily agreed. They had originally entered the secret realm of Firefly Lake to secretly protect Jing Yueli. Now that they had appeared, they could just complete their mission openly.

The group decided to rest on the spot first. Besides, there was plenty of spiritual energy around, and Si Mowen and the others also needed to heal their wounds.

As for the men in black robes, they can't escape.

......

"Have we been intercepted?" The six people hiding in the distance looked at Jing Yueli and the others and whispered to each other.

“If the master knew, would he…” The man who spoke just now made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Someone next to him glanced at him and turned his head away silently.

"What does he mean? Did I say something wrong?"

"Think carefully about what the master said at that time!" another person reminded him.

"What did you say?" The man frowned and thought about what his master said at that time.

"Master said that there is no need to take action unless life is in danger?"

"So...was that life-threatening?"

The other four people: "......"

"Okay, everyone, be alert and don't slack off!" Mo Yun was speechless because of this idiot, but... looking at the group of mercenaries talking and laughing with Jing Yueli, he had to report this matter to his master when he got back.

...

Following the traces left by the man in black robe, everyone slowly entered the depths of the dense forest.

The scenery along the way became increasingly bizarre, and the air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Jing Yueli was alert. She felt that she was surrounded by a powerful force, but she didn't know what this force was.

Suddenly, there were bursts of low roars coming from the front, followed by an earth-shaking movement.

"what happened?"

Everyone was very nervous.

"I'll go take a look!" Shi Yu said, and then he led his men to leap forward quickly.

The others quickly found a tree to lean on.

The noise was so loud that I could hardly stand.

Jing Yueli thought more about it. The first thing that came to her mind when there was such a big commotion was a tide of beasts.

Not long after, Shi Yu and his men returned, their faces filled with fear. "It's... it's a beast tide! Run!"

Before he could finish his words, a group of monsters surged out from the depths of the dense forest like a tide, with their fangs bared and claws bared, looking very aggressive.

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they immediately used their spiritual power to flee in the direction they came from.
