When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

After Jiang Song left Tianbao Tower, the night markets in the city were already bustling with activity, bright lights and a bustling crowd of people.

She didn't dare to stay and quickly flew towards Xie's house on her sword.

When passing over the Shen family mansion, he saw a barrier covering the entire Shen family mansion, with a faint light flashing.

Compared to the barrier Xie Ankang had set up in her residence last time, the spiritual power was much weaker and could only be considered an ordinary protective barrier.

Jiang Song slowed down his flying speed, with doubts in his mind.

Remnants of the Shen family?

Could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest, and the remnants of the Shen family have turned back and hidden in their own mansion?

This idea is bold, but not impossible.

The Shen family has been operating in the imperial capital for many years. There may be unknown secret passages or secret rooms in the mansion, which are enough for them to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Thinking this in her mind, Jiang Song confirmed that the aura on her body had been completely restrained. She slowly lowered her altitude and flew along the outer wall of the Shen family mansion.

There was no one in the yard, not even the lanterns were lit, and the house was pitch black, as if the entire Shen family mansion was deserted.

Jiang Song was alert and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore, looking for possible entrances or abnormalities.

At this time, a faint sound of footsteps came from the back door of the Shen family mansion. Jiang Song immediately restrained his breath, hid his body, and approached quietly.

The back door was slightly open, and in a narrow gap, a figure in night clothes was looking around furtively, holding a magic tool to open the barrier in his hand, obviously intending to sneak into the Shen family mansion.

Jiang Song's heart skipped a beat. Who could this person be? Could it be a remnant of the Shen family? Or someone else with ulterior motives?

She didn't care about that, she used her Cloud Piercing Skill to get closer, slashed the night walker's neck with a sword, snatched the magic weapon from his hand, then quickly slipped into the back door of the Shen family and closed the door again.

Jiang Song quickly checked his identity and found no obvious identification on him. He only found a simple map of the Xie family mansion from his pocket, which marked the number of guards in each courtyard.

Jiang Song was shocked. This was clearly an action targeting the Xie family. Could it be that someone was planning to sneak into the Xie family at night?

She decided to go deep into the Shen family mansion to find out what was going on.

Using the magic weapon in his hand, Jiang Song easily passed through the barrier and walked into the mansion.

The night was deep and the house was dead silent, with only the occasional night breeze rustling the leaves.

Jiang Song walked silently along the corridor in the mansion. Her spiritual sense was fully open, and she was vigilantly sensing the movements around her.

After walking through several winding corridors, she came to a remote courtyard.

It was obvious that no one had taken care of this place for a long time. Weeds were overgrown and fallen leaves covered the path.

Just as she was about to explore further, a faint conversation came from a half-open door.

Jiang Song approached quietly, put his ear to the crack of the door, and listened carefully.

"Second Uncle, the secret agents we planted in the Xie family have basically been eliminated. Only a few are still lurking, but their positions are not high, so it is difficult for them to access core secrets."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the plan goes smoothly, it doesn't matter whether there are those hidden spies or not. Anyway, we have to act tonight. As long as the main figures of the Xie family are dead, the Xie family will naturally fall apart."

"We sneaked in through the secret passage of the Xie Mansion. The guards there are the weakest, and it leads directly to the Xie family's meeting hall. We can capture the top leaders of the Xie family in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Jiang Song was shocked. It turned out that someone really wanted to harm the Xie family, and the plan was quite thorough.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and continued to listen to the conversation inside.

"Second Uncle, when do we start?"

"Wait a little longer, until the night gets a little darker, to make sure everything is safe."

"Why has Xushu been gone for so long? He hasn't come back yet. Did something go wrong?"

Jiang Song's heart moved. Writing a letter?

She had never heard of this name, but she thought it must be the night walker she had dealt with before.

Just as she was thinking, there was a slight noise in the house, as if someone stood up.

Jiang Song quickly retreated, hid in the dark, and stared at the door vigilantly.

I saw an old man in gorgeous clothes and with a sinister face slowly walking out of the room. He had sharp eyes and looked around as if he was looking for something.

Jiang Song's heart tightened, knowing that this person must be difficult to deal with. She carefully restrained her breath, fearing that she would be discovered by the other party.

The old man walked around and found nothing unusual, so he returned to the house.

Jiang Song took the opportunity to quietly approach the door and used his spiritual sense to investigate the situation inside the house.

There were a few other people in the room, sitting around a table and talking in low voices.

"Second Uncle, is Xushu really in trouble?"

"Hmph, if he can't even handle such a small matter, then he doesn't deserve to be a member of our Shen family." The old man snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

Jiang Song suddenly realized that these people were indeed the remnants of the Shen family. They actually dared to sneak back into the Shen Mansion and plot to harm the Xie family.

She used her spiritual sense to carefully sense the number of people in the room and confirmed that there were nine people in total. The one with the highest cultivation level was the old man known as Second Uncle, who seemed to have reached the late stage of foundation building.

Two of them are in the late stage of Qi Refining, three are in the middle or early stage of Qi Refining, and the remaining three are high-level warriors. Although they are not worth mentioning to cultivators, they can be considered masters in the secular world.

Jiang Song was quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind. Although she had reached the middle stage of foundation building, it was obviously not a wise move to fight head-on against so many people.

She decided to leave here first and find help to deal with them.

When Jiang Song was about to leave, the sound of conversation was heard again in the house.

"Second Uncle, are we really going to take action? The Xie family is heavily guarded. If we do this, wouldn't it be like hitting a rock with an egg?"

"Humph, idiot! The Xie family only has one capable guard beside that sickly guy, the rest are a mob. If we launch a surprise attack tonight, we will definitely catch them off guard."

Yes, since we know that Xie Ankang is good at fighting, then we will specifically find Xie Ankang to deal with them!

Jiang Song's mind lit up, and she quickly made up her mind. She retreated lightly, using the cover of night to quickly leave the Shen family mansion and rush towards the Xie Mansion.

She arrived at the back door of the Xie family, took off Luo Fenghe's clothes, and quickly rushed to Yunyin Pavilion.

Without even bothering to greet Xie Changyan, he shouted to Xie Ankang beside him, "Ankang, it's urgent, come with me!"

Xie Ankang glanced at Xie Changyan, and when he saw the other party nod, he immediately stood up and followed Jiang Song away.

"Young Master, the Young Madam ignored you today. She called Ankang away?" Xie Ruyi teased.

Xie Changyan glanced at him calmly, "If you want to be beaten, just say so."

Xie Ruyi suddenly fell silent, touched his nose, and dared not say anything more.

He was secretly muttering in his heart: Should I tell the young master about the fact that the young lady took the initiative to ask me to go through training together next time? Hahaha, the young master will probably die of jealousy!

Xie Changyan looked at Xie Ruyi with a hint of understanding, "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Ruyi was startled and quickly waved her hands, "Nothing, nothing."

"It better be this way."
