I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Unexpectedly, the other party refused to give up easily: "Oh, don't be impatient, I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on your victory... Speaking of which, it's really a pity for that strong man who was knocked down just now~" She said while making a regretful look, which made the people around her laugh.

Seeing this, Da Huangzi had no choice but to patiently explain: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but the situation is urgent and we must leave immediately."

"Okay, okay, I know you two are amazing, okay? Let's go, let's go. I've never seen anyone work so hard, hahahaha~" Seeing the other party's firm attitude, he finally smiled and waved his hand to show his understanding, and watched the two of them walk away until they were completely submerged in the crowd and disappeared...

Another confrontation

Following the clues they had found, they quickly found the scene. They saw that almost all the trees had been consumed by the fire, leaving only scattered debris. Among them were several unconscious victims, clearly severely injured and in desperate need of rescue.

"Too cruel!" Even the great Huangzi who had experienced countless life-and-death battles couldn't help but feel compassion when he saw this scene.

"We have to treat these injured people quickly and report the situation to the organizers of the competition..." Liu Qingcheng said gritting her teeth, but her hands were already busy using the medicines she carried with her and the medical skills she learned to carry out initial rescue work in order to minimize the number of casualties.

At the same time, the enemies who had been hiding in the shadows seemed to sense their target's presence and launched a surprise attack without hesitation, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and wipe them out in one fell swoop. A dozen nimble men in night clothes, armed with various weapons, quietly surrounded them...

"Be careful!" Da Huangzi, keenly aware of the unusual situation, immediately warned his companions and drew his sword, entering a state of alert. Liu Qingcheng, equally quick-witted, also regained her vigilance in an instant, brandishing her long whip with great vigor, ready to face the upcoming fierce battle...

After a series of fierce battles, although they successfully defeated the enemy, they decided to temporarily evacuate and return to the camp for further discussion due to safety concerns...

After returning to a relatively quiet place and preparing to sit down to rest, I heard hurried footsteps. Then, a nervous soldier rushed into the tent and reported, "Your Highness! Urgent military intelligence reports that strange phenomena have been occurring in the surrounding areas recently. I'm afraid they are closely related to our martial arts competition. I implore your permission to investigate..."

After listening to the report, the two fell into deep thought again...

"This matter is indeed not as simple as it seems." Da Huangzi whispered, turning his gaze to Liu Qingcheng, "It seems that we must conduct an in-depth investigation to uncover the truth."

"That's right, and this incident is clearly targeting us." Liu Qingcheng nodded in agreement, "We can't take it lightly."

Suddenly, there was another rustling sound outside the window, as if something was quietly approaching. Liu Qingcheng quickly stood up, holding the long whip in hand and looking out the window vigilantly.

"We have to act quickly," she said in a low voice, "otherwise, it might be too late..."

Da Huangzi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes: "Okay, no matter what the difficulties are, we must investigate it to the end!"

As the night deepens, the doubts in their hearts gradually spread like the darkness. What challenges will they face next? Can they unravel the mysteries and uncover the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes? All the answers await them in the unknown future.

"No matter what, we have to be careful." Liu Qingcheng sighed softly, a resolute expression on her face. "And I also feel..." She stopped abruptly, a hint of deep thought flashing in her eyes, "We may be caught in an even bigger storm."

"Yeah," Da Huangzi nodded, "but as long as you're by my side, I believe we can face anything."

The two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination and trust. They quickly packed their gear, stepped out of the tent, and faced the unknown challenge. Under the cover of night, the stadium seemed to conceal a more complex situation amidst its tranquility.

Night fell, the stars sparse. Da Huangzi and Liu Qingcheng moved quickly through the quiet camp, alert for any threats. They gripped their weapons tightly, their steps brisk yet steady, as if measuring the approaching danger with each step.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then a panting soldier came into their sight.

"Master, there's an emergency!" the soldier reported breathlessly, "A group of men in black appeared ahead, seemingly investigating something."

Da Huangzi's eyes flashed, and he nodded to Liu Qingcheng: "Let's go and take a look."

They quickly rushed towards the direction of the sound. Along the way, other people in the camp were also alerted, and the crowd of onlookers gradually increased.

"Oh, what are these two going to do again?" an old woman in the crowd said puzzledly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

The young soldier nearby excitedly replied, "Something big must be happening again! Look how impressive they are! They must be going to cause trouble for those bad guys!"

The old woman sighed, a hint of admiration in her eyes: "These days, there are really not many good people like this. Alas, I hope they are safe and sound."

Da Huangzi and Liu Qingcheng finally arrived at the scene, only to see a dozen men in black busying around in the ruins, apparently searching for something. Without hesitation, the two launched their attack.

A middle-aged man watching the fierce battle was stunned: "This is simply a fight between gods! Look at the woman's whip skills, it's amazing!"

The young man next to him was so excited that his eyes sparkled: "And that man's swordsmanship is simply as smooth as flowing water!"

After a fierce battle, the men in black were finally defeated. Liu Qingcheng wrapped a long whip around the neck of a wounded man in black and asked coldly, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The man in black gasped, his eyes filled with fear: "I... I don't know, I really don't know. We are just following orders..."

The big man next to him frowned: "Do you think he is telling the truth?"

Liu Qingcheng gently released the whip and looked at the trembling man in black. She said calmly, "Maybe he really doesn't know, but there must be someone behind this."

There were murmurings among the crowd, and one young woman exclaimed, "It's hard to believe there's something so complicated going on behind the scenes. You two are truly brave!"

Da Huangzi smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, but our business is far from over."

Suddenly, an old soldier from the camp came rushing over: "Oh no! Something strange was found in the east camp!"

Da Huangzi and Liu Qingcheng exchanged a glance, feeling that this matter was anything but simple. "Let's go and check out the situation over there," Da Huangzi said solemnly.
