The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

The next day, we set out west again. There was no place to rest on the way from Funiu Town to Xitongzhou.

There are no mountains on this side of Funiu Town. After running for half a day outside Funiu Town, there are endless mountains in front of you. The locals call this mountain Funiu Mountain, and the name of Funiu Town also comes from this.

To get to Xitong Prefecture, one needs to cross three hills. Fortunately, the mountain roads here are specially built, and horse-drawn carriages can pass through, but the speed is a bit slower. Moreover, starting from the foot of the mountain, it takes a whole day to cross three hills to Xitong.

Mu Xiyue didn't want to sit in the carriage on this mountain road. She was afraid that she wouldn't be sharp enough in the carriage. The feeling of riding a horse in the mountains was very good. It was completely different from riding a horse on flat ground.

This mountain road was very well built. It didn't look like it was built to make it easier for the people around to go up the mountain. Mu Xiyue was curious why a road was built in the mountains.

Xiao Yibai explained, "Going west from Shangjing City to Liangzhou directly over this mountain is the shortest and most convenient way. If you go around this mountain to Liangzhou, it will take at least six more days."

Liangzhou is located at the westernmost edge of the Tianqi Kingdom, bordering the Shuyu Kingdom. During the late emperor's reign, the Shuyu Kingdom repeatedly invaded. To ensure that information from Liangzhou could reach Shangjing more quickly and that troops dispatched from Shangjing could reach Liangzhou as quickly as possible, the imperial court spent three years building this official road across the mountains. Since the road's completion, the number of merchant caravans has increased, boosting the economy west of the Funiu Mountains.

As the sun set, the group found a flat place to set up camp.

The six Qilin Guards and ten Secret Guards also showed up and set up camp to rest. The six Secret Guards dispersed to hunt, the four Secret Guards fetched water and collected firewood to make a fire, and the Qilin Guards stayed in the camp.

Mu Xiyue had been riding the horse for half a day and her butt was sore. She found a rock to sit on and didn't want to get up.

Suddenly, the six Qilin Guards stood up and became alert. Mu Xiyue was startled. She didn't notice any danger, but she was still alert.

Xiao Yibai immediately stood next to Mu Xiyue. Qi Yun was sitting side by side with Xiao Tao, so he stood up quickly as well.

After about half a minute, Mu Xiyue felt that many people appeared around them. After a few breaths, more than thirty masked men in black jumped out of the woods and started fighting without saying a word.

It was obvious that these killers were very skilled in martial arts, and it was difficult for them to move around in the mountains without making any noise. Mu Xiyue only noticed them when they were approaching, while the Qilin Guards noticed them earlier than her. So, do people with strong internal strength really have much better hearing?

The six secret guards who went hunting had not returned yet. Mu Xiyue did not take any action, but just stood in the middle and watched these people fight. She wanted to see how good the martial arts of these Qilin guards were.

The martial arts of this group of assassins were much higher than those who accompanied Xiao Yibai to escort the witness last time. The Qilin Guards' martial arts seemed to be slightly better than the assassins. The four secret guards could only fight the assassins to a draw in a one-on-one fight. Xiao Yibai and Qiyun's martial arts were the highest among them.

The twelve people on Xiao Yibai's side found it a bit difficult to deal with more than thirty killers. One killer saw the two women standing motionless in the middle and thought that the two women were scared, so he wanted to get rid of the women first. The task they accepted was to kill Mu Xiyue.

Xiao Tao couldn't suppress the fighting spirit in her heart. She felt itchy and couldn't use group attacks because it would hurt her own people. She was just looking for a few targets to kill when she saw a killer rushing over and drawing the soft sword at his waist to throw out a wind blade. The killer looked down at his stomach that was cut by the wind blade and fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Mu Xiyue looked for a while and saw that some of her people were injured, so she joined in.

Two killers rushed to Mu Xiyue's side at an extremely fast speed, raised their hands and slapped her in the chest. Mu Xiyue had no time to dodge, but fortunately she moved slightly to the side, and the palm strike with strong internal force hit her left shoulder. Mu Xiyue was knocked back several steps before she could barely stand firm.

She reacted extremely quickly. When the killer rushed towards her again, she quickly raised her right hand, and a wind blade flew out, cutting the killer in half.

Mu Xiyue moved her aching left shoulder, probably bruising the bone. This was the first time she'd been injured in over a year since arriving here. It seemed like this ancient martial art shouldn't be underestimated. A hit to the heart could have killed her. A bloodthirsty glare flashed in her eyes as she charged towards the crowd.

Her left shoulder was injured, and she couldn't hold the sword with her left hand, and she didn't know how to use the sword with her right hand. Without the sword's blessing, the power of the wind blade was a little smaller, but dealing with these mortals was still like cutting melons. Anyone hit by her wind blade would be seriously injured if not killed.

Both sides are masters, and they can move quickly during the fight. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao can only look for opportunities to hunt, for fear that one of them will hit one of their own people by mistake.

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and suddenly a large number of unmasked killers emerged from the forest.

Seeing that their clothes were not the same as the previous group of masked killers, Mu Xiyue cursed in her heart. She found a chance to treat her left shoulder. Although it was not completely healed, she could hold a sword again.

Although the martial arts skills of the killers who joined later were not as high as those before, they had the advantage of numbers. There were only a dozen people on their side, and it was very difficult for them to fight.

However, with so many assassins, it was much easier for Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao to find their targets, and half of these assassins were attacking Mu Xiyue in the middle. Mu Xiyue felt as if both groups of assassins were here to kill her.

The two women stood back to back, Xiao Tao's wind blades kept coming out, and Mu Xiyue had wind blades in her left hand and ice needles in her right hand, and they killed twenty or thirty people in just a few minutes.

It took nearly two quarters of an hour to wipe out the killers. Two of his secret guards were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. Two of the Qilin Guards were also slightly injured. This time, Xiao Yibai and Qi Yun were not injured.

Xiao Yibai saw Mu Xiyue being hit in the left shoulder. He walked up to her and asked worriedly, "Yueyue, how are you? Are you injured?"

Mu Xiyue moved her left shoulder. "Hiss, I was careless. It's okay. It's just a minor injury that will heal in a while."

Xiao Tao took a few steps and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. Qi Yun was bandaging the seriously injured secret guard. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Tao fall down. He hurriedly shouted, "Xiao Tao."

Mu Xiyue turned around and saw Xiaotao fell to the ground, "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Xiao Tao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, "I got punched in the stomach, it hurts so much!"

Qi Yun hurriedly took out a few porcelain bottles from his arms, picked out a bottle and poured out a pill, "This is for treating internal injuries, take it quickly."

"No need, I'll treat her injuries and she'll be fine soon." Mu Xiyue helped her sit down, "Qiyun, you go and do your work first. Don't worry, Xiaotao will be fine soon."

Xiao Tao was more seriously injured than her. The punch probably caused her internal organs to bleed. Mu Xiyue treated Xiao Tao's injuries first. After about ten minutes, Xiao Tao felt as if she had never been injured and her whole body was relaxed.

"How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Mu Xiyue withdrew her hand and asked Xiaotao while healing herself.

Xiao Tao stood up and moved a few times, "It's okay, miss."

Qiyun hurriedly took Xiaotao's pulse, and surprisingly, there was no sign of injury at all.
