When everyone was sitting on the ground, Nangong Mingxuan motioned Ouyang Miaoling to sit closer to him, and then they discussed how to leave the team.

"Ling'er... Let's leave here first, and then go back to get help. Before we leave, I want to take the Marshal's brother-in-law with me. He must know a lot of secrets..." Nangong Mingxuan told Ouyang Miaoling his idea and got her support.

While the two were discussing how to do this, Nangong Ming sensed the presence of a stranger nearby, so he signaled Ouyang Miaoling with his eyes to be alert.

Suddenly, a group of people came out from all directions and surrounded them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" their leader asked.

Nangong Mingxuan saw through the firelight that the leader of the people coming was unharmed.

Nangong Mingxuan was about to walk towards Wushang, but was stopped by Wushang who pointed his sword at him.

"Stop... don't come over here. If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude." The silent scolding made Nangong Mingxuan stop.

At this time, Ouyang Miaoling also stood up and walked towards the place where he was not injured, but was scolded mercilessly by him again.

Upon seeing this, Ouyang Miaoling revealed his identity: "Captain Wushang, you are so impressive!"

When Wushang heard the familiar voice, he was delighted and quickly asked people to make way to let Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling pass.

Just as the two of them walked over, the rest of the people were all confused. They didn't know whether the people surrounding them were enemies or friends.

"Captain, do you know these people?" the marshal's brother-in-law asked.

Nangong Mingxuan whispered a few words in Wushang's ear, and Wushang pointed at the man and said, "Come here too..."

So the man who claimed to be the Marshal's brother-in-law stood up and walked over without any precautions.

When he just approached Wushang and others, Wushang gave a wink to the guard beside him, and the guard grabbed the man, put the knife to his neck, and threatened them to put down their weapons.

Only then did Commander Wang figure out that there was a spy who had infiltrated their team, and was working together from inside and outside to take their lives.

So Commander Wang gave an order: "Brothers, those two people are spies who have sneaked into our team. Now we are doomed no matter what. Why don't we fight hard and have a chance to survive? If we can break through the siege, hurry back and report to the general..."

After hearing his words, these people seemed to be energized by chicken blood, with fierce light flashing in their eyes, and they rushed towards Wushang and others regardless of everything.

After a round of desperate fighting, both sides paid a heavy price, but Wushang and others gradually gained the upper hand.

They brandished the long swords in their hands, and each sword contained endless murderous intent and power, beheading the enemies one after another.

In an instant, the forest was filled with a strong smell of blood, and mutilated corpses lay on the ground. The scene was extremely tragic.

However, when all the enemies were killed, only Commander Wang was left alive.

He realized that the situation was hopeless and wanted to take the opportunity to send out a signal flare to ask for help from others. However, Ouyang Miaoling was quick-witted and quickly shot the signal flare away from his hand. In the end, Commander Wang was also captured alive.

With the entire team of people being killed and two people being captured alive, this fierce battle finally came to an end.

"Master...what should we do next?" Wushang asked respectfully.

Nangong Mingxuan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then gave a decisive order: "Send a signal to notify Guimei and Mo Ran to bring their people to the cave to meet up, and move quickly! We must withdraw before dawn, and we cannot stay here for long, otherwise we will be discovered soon..."

After that, Nangong Mingxuan and Wushang gave orders, and he personally led the two captives to walk in front, while Wushang and others were responsible for the rear to ensure the safety of the team. They carefully crossed the woods and headed towards the cave.

Mo Ran and Gui Mei also received the signal. They counted the number of people and headed towards the gathering place with them.

By the time Nangong Mingxuan and others reached the entrance of the cave, it was already dawn.

Commander Wang stared at the cave in front of him with eyes wide open in disbelief, and then murmured, "Impossible... Impossible, how did they know this place?"

Ouyang Miaoling noticed Commander Wang's murmuring, and then she began to question Commander Wang: "What did you just say? Where is this place and why can't we come in?" Ouyang Miaoling's voice was like a sharp dagger, piercing Commander Wang's heart.

He was so frightened that he shook all over and stammered, "I...I don't know! We were just following our orders and not letting anyone near the cave."

Ouyang Miaoling sneered, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes: "Hmph, you don't know? Then you'd better explain it to me now, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Her tone was cold and harsh, making Commander Wang feel a chill.

Commander Wang knew that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to tell the truth: "This... This is an ancient tomb. It is said that there are countless precious treasures and mysterious powers hidden inside, but it is also full of dangers. None of our tribesmen have ever been here. I heard that those who have been in will die inexplicably inside, so we have a tribe rule that no one is allowed to approach here."

After hearing this, Ouyang Miaoling frowned and thought to himself, what secrets does this ancient tomb hide? Why does it make them so frightened?

She pointed the sword in her hand at Commander Wang and said, "What tribe are you from? What's the name of your commander? Why did you capture our troops here?" These were what Ouyang Miaoling and the others urgently needed to know.

Commander Wang began to play dead and said, "I don't know, are you going to kill me?"

Ouyang Miaoling didn't tolerate him either. She avoided the vital points and pierced his chest with her sword. Blood flowed down the sword.

Commander Wang felt pain and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and no longer answered any questions from Ouyang Miaoling.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Commander Wang in a short time, she pointed the sword in her hand at the brother-in-law and said, "Answer my question."

The man was already so frightened by the scene that he was trembling all over.

The uncle looked at Ouyang Miaoling in horror and said tremblingly: "I...I really don't know! I'm just an ordinary soldier, just following orders."

Ouyang Miaoling stared at him with a sharp gaze, "Who is your commander? Where is he now? If you don't tell the truth, you will end up like him." She pointed her sword at Commander Wang, who was lying on the ground in agony.

My brother-in-law was pale and his body was shaking. "I... I really don't know the commander's name. We all follow General Song's orders, and every time we issue instructions, we do it through Commander Wang..."
