Junior sister took first place again

Ji Tang didn't have to wait long, as Ning Yuan's current location was quickly transmitted back from outside.

The secret guard who came in to report said, "The Fourth Prince is currently in his tent, but Princess Zhaohua seems to have disappeared without a trace. We are still investigating."

Ji Tang remembered that he was defeated by the metal that was beyond human power this time. When he woke up, he learned Ning Yuan's identity. Now it would probably take a lot of effort to find Ning Zhao.

Thinking of this, Ji Tang made a quick decision, "Ignore Ning Zhao for now. Send people to guard all the exits. If you see anyone under the command of these brothers and sisters, kill them without mercy!"

Ji Tang sneered secretly. Since it was difficult to find her, then she would not look for her. After she dealt with Ning Yuan, she would immediately return to the capital to act according to Ji Yuan's plan. With the old emperor around, she was not afraid that Ning Zhao would not show up.

Analyzing this in his mind, Ji Tang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Hasn't Ning Yuan been in contact with those generals? Tell General Gao to go and get them out tonight."

"Gather all the men I brought with me this time, set up an ambush around here, and return to the capital immediately after killing Ning Yuan."

"As ordered!"

Everyone took the order and withdrew, and began to make intensive preparations.

The last ray of sunlight faded, night fell, and Xue Wuying got up and went out to keep his appointment. He did not doubt that there might be a trick, but being in the game, these things were inevitable.

Therefore, Xue Wuying also made preparations in secret to ensure that he could escape safely.

The agreed location was a secluded clearing in the woods. Xue Wuying arrived slightly early and sent one of his men to confirm everything was normal before leisurely strolling over and standing with his hands behind his back.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, allowing for a clear view of the surroundings without any external aid. The only drawback is that there is a dark cloud in the sky, and given the current wind direction, it will soon obscure the moonlight.

As the appointed hour approached, dark clouds gradually obscured the moonlight, and the shadow moved toward where Xue Wuying stood. He looked up at the moon and sighed softly, "What a shame to miss such a beautiful day."

After sighing, Xue Wuying turned around and looked in the direction of General Gao's camp and waited quietly.

The moon was already tightly obscured by clouds. Xue Wuying frowned, thinking to himself: Time is almost up, yet there's no movement over there. Furthermore, the atmosphere around them seemed... too dead.

At some point, the chirping of insects in the night sky suddenly stopped, and the woods were as quiet as an empty city, without a trace of life.

Xue Wuying and his followers all sensed the strange atmosphere. The leading shadow guard approached him and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the situation is not good. Let's retreat first."

Xue Wuying gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes as sharp as torches as he scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!"

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a cold light approaching as fast as lightning from the corner of his eye. Everyone immediately drew their swords, "Your Highness, be careful!"

"Protect His Highness!"

The leading secret guard was quick-witted and quick-handed, blocking Ji Tang's arrow for Xue Wuying. Xue Wuying reacted quickly as well, turning around and drawing his sword to block Ji Tang's sword that was coming after him.

The moment the two swords intersected, Xue Wuying was protected by other guards and separated from Ji Tang.

However, Ji Tang personally went out this time to quickly kill Xue Wuying. Therefore, the people she brought with her and General Gao and others quickly entangled Xue Wuying's men, while Ji Tang rushed towards Xue Wuying with sword in hand.

Ji Tang and the others were not disguised at all. After Xue Wuying saw through them, she shouted coldly as she fought with her: "Ji Tang, Gao Wuyong, are you guys planning a rebellion?"

Ji Tang sneered, "Xue's bastard, today is the day you die!"

Xue Wuying's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he instantly realized that the other person was also from the realm of illusion. Moreover, judging by his behavior, even though he had never seen him before, he could guess who he was.

For a moment, the murderous intent in Xue Wuying's eyes seemed to have substance. He looked at Ji Tang and said with gritted teeth: "Ji Tang! It turned out to be you!"

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand vigorously, forcing Ji Tang to take a few steps back.

Ji Tang didn't care about being recognized by him at all. After she stood firm, she said arrogantly, "If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Otherwise, I will never let you go after I get out."

Xue Wuying almost laughed out loud at her words, but he actually laughed out loud: "As expected, with the exception of Ji Rong, all the people in the Ji family are good-for-nothings. You're right, this matter won't end like this. After I leave, I will definitely go to the Ji family to settle the accounts personally!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Tang with a cold and cruel smile.

In this situation, Xue Wuying's mention of Ji Rong undoubtedly touched Ji Tang's sore spot.

"Looking for death!" Ji Tang shouted angrily, and his body was like a dragon, instantly attacking Xue Wuying.

Although Ji Tang is used to using whips in both of her identities, for a genius like Ji Tang, being able to use hundreds of weapons is just basic operation, and the same is true for Xue Wuying.

What's more, the sword is the king of all weapons. No matter what kind of cultivator, most people in the world of cultivation can use a sword.

But now Xue Wuying only knows some decent kung fu, and he is no match for Ji Tang here.

At this moment, Ji Tang was completely enraged by him again, and he was ruthless. Every move was fierce and precise, attacking him like a torrential rain. Xue Wuying was soon covered in wounds, and blood oozed out, staining his clothes red.

The number of people he brought was far less than Ji Tang's, and most of them were quickly eliminated by Ji Tang's men. He himself was in danger several times and was almost hit in the vitals by Ji Tang.

At this moment, Xue Wuying's anger towards Ji Tang and the Ji family reached its peak.

Not to mention that Xue is the master of Ji, he himself is a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Period. When he met Ji Tang, who was in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Period, he should have been respectful to her. But now he was bullied by her to this extent. How could he save his face?

Xue Wuying became more and more angry as he thought about it, and after being stabbed in the arm by Ji Tang again, he did not retreat but advanced, risking half of his arm to stab Ji Tang. Ji Tang was startled and kicked him several meters away.

Xue Wuying fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ji Tang looked at him with a scornful smile on her face. "What a waste." Then, she slowly walked towards him, holding the bloody sword.

Xue Wuying clutched her chest, enduring the severe pain as she watched Ji Tang approach step by step. He stared at her with a bloodthirsty gaze and said viciously, "You dare to harm me? When I get out, I will definitely expose your sneaking into the secret realm. Then I will have Ji Shu send you to the altar and let you taste my methods!"

At this time, Xue Wuying also reacted. If it was Ji's people who arranged Ji Tang to go in and monitor Ning Jiasheng, Ji Huan could not have been unaware of it.

That way, he wouldn't have anything to do at the beginning. If there were any changes, Ji Huan would remind Ji Tang after he came out and let him in.

Therefore, Ji Tang was around Ning Jiasheng at the time, so she must have sneaked in on her own. After figuring this out, Xue Wuying immediately issued a cold threat.

However, Ji Tang remained unmoved. Instead, she quickened her pace. She sneered and said, "How dare you, a loser like you, call me the head of the family by my name? The Xue family is becoming increasingly unruly. Today, I will teach you a lesson about the duties of a servant!"

She stopped in front of Xue Wuying and said in a condescending manner, "Get out of here!" Before she finished speaking, she raised her sword and stabbed towards Xue Wuying's heart.
