A strong sense of uneasiness surged in Murong Ling'er's heart, and her eyes became sharper as she scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
In the forest, the branches that should have been swaying gracefully now seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force and were eerily still.
The wind seemed to have stopped at this moment, and even the leaves stopped rustling.
Murong Linger lowered her voice and said to Murong Chen, "Chen'er, stop eating. Something is wrong. Hide in the carriage."
Murong Chen also realized the unusual atmosphere, and quickly put down the food in his hand and followed his mother's instructions.
Murong Linger quickly walked to Huo Jianjie's family and said anxiously, "Dad, take Aunt Deng and Zihao and get in the carriage quickly." Seeing his eldest daughter's serious expression, Huo Jianjie did not dare to delay and hurriedly pulled his wife and children to run to the carriage.
Then Murong Ling'er quickly stuffed several young children and the elderly into the carriage.
After everyone entered the carriage, Murong Ling'er quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A layer of light blue light gradually emerged, covering the entire carriage and forming a solid barrier. This barrier exuded a mysterious power and no one could get close.
After doing all this, Murong Ling'er stood outside the barrier, paying close attention to the movements around her. The atmosphere in the mountains and forests became increasingly eerie and terrifying, as if pairs of invisible eyes were peeping at them in the darkness.
At this moment, even the birds that usually chirp have fallen silent. The whole world seems to have pressed the mute button, leaving only the heart-pounding silence.
Murong Ling'er's heartbeat was particularly clear in the dead silence. She clenched her fists, ready to face the unknown danger that was about to come.
At this moment, the officers led by Chifeng also noticed something unusual.
Chifeng looked solemn. He drew the sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "Everyone be alert!" The officers gripped their weapons tightly, formed a circle, and protected the fugitives in the middle.
Chu Lingfeng also settled Wang Shi and Chu Yinyin and the others, then quickly came to Murong Linger and whispered, "Looks like there's trouble."
Murong Ling'er nodded slightly, but her eyes never left the deep and quiet forest.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the mountains and forests, making people shudder.
"Hahahaha, none of you can escape!" The voice seemed to come from all directions, and it was difficult to determine the direction.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men in black flew out from the forest. They were all masked, holding sharp blades, and their eyes were full of murderous intent.
Chifeng shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you block our way? We are officials appointed by the imperial court. Do you want to rebel?"
The man in black didn't answer and rushed towards the crowd.
The officers and the men in black immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
Chifeng's swordsmanship was sharp, and he fought hard with several men in black.
Chu Lingfeng was not willing to be outdone. His body was as fast as lightning and his moves were swift. He instantly repelled several men in black.
Murong Ling'er protected the other fugitives, observing the situation and looking for the enemy's weaknesses.
However, the number of men in black was large, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts. The officers gradually became unable to withstand them and casualties began to occur.
A man in black broke through the defense line and rushed towards Murong Ling'er.
Murong Ling'er's eyes turned cold, she dodged the attack of the man in black by turning sideways, and struck back, hitting the man in black's wrist, causing the knife in his hand to fall.
The man in black felt pain, but did not retreat. He swung his fist again, but Murong Ling'er cleverly avoided it and kicked him away.
But more men in black rushed over, and the situation became more critical. At this moment, Chu Lingfeng flew over and helped Murong Ling'er block a wave of attacks.
"Take them away first!" Chu Lingfeng shouted.
Murong Ling'er understood that staying here would only put more people in danger, so she made a prompt decision and ran towards the carriage with the other fugitives. However, the man in black was chasing them closely.
Murong Ling'er looked back at Chu Lingfeng and others who were fighting hard, and the hidden weapons she threw temporarily slowed down the pursuit of the men in black. She took the opportunity to lead the fugitives to speed up their pace and approach the carriage.
While running, Murong Ling'er keenly noticed that the black-clothed men's attack focus was always on her and Chu Lingfeng.
Especially against himself, every move is fierce and deadly.
Murong Ling'er's heart trembled, and she made a decision in an instant. She stopped, turned around and shouted to Qi Feng, "Captain Qi, take the criminals away! I will deal with them."
Although Chifeng was worried, he knew that the situation was critical and he should follow Murong Ling'er's orders and quickly retreat with the fugitives.
Without any worries, Murong Ling'er's aura suddenly changed. Her eyes revealed determination and coldness, and her internal energy was running rapidly in her body.
She was seen moving like a ghost among the men in black.
Her moves were extremely fierce, and each blow contained great power. The wind from her palms was whistling, and wherever she went, the men in black fell to the ground.
Murong Ling'er was like a goddess of revenge, not giving the man in black any chance to breathe.
Chifeng, along with the officials and the exiles, were watching nervously from a distance. Their eyes were closely following Murong Ling'er's figure. Seeing Murong Ling'er so brave, the officials were full of admiration, and the exiles could not help but be impressed by her strength.
"It's amazing that Miss Murong is so powerful!" an official couldn't help but say.
"Yes! If it weren't for her, we would probably all die here." Another officer echoed.
The exiles also whispered to each other, praising Murong Ling'er's bravery.
However, Huo Shuixian in the crowd was jealous and resentful, but helpless.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes full of unwillingness: "Hmph! It's just good luck and some skill." But she also knew in her heart that she was far behind Murong Ling'er.
After a fierce battle, the bodies of the men in black were lying all over the ground, and only one man in black who looked like the leader was still resisting.
Murong Ling'er pressed on step by step. The man in black had been injured in many places and had no strength to fight back.
"Tell me! Who sent you here?" Murong Ling'er glared at him, her voice icy cold.
The man in black's eyes flickered and he kept silent.
Murong Linger snorted coldly, and pressed the sword in her hand against the black-clothed man's throat: "If you don't tell me, today will be the day you die!"
The man in black still kept his lips tightly shut, refusing to utter a word.
Seeing this, Murong Ling'er decided not to waste any more time and used her immortal cultivation method, the soul-searching technique.
As the spell was cast, a strange light flashed in Murong Ling'er's eyes, and the man in black suddenly twitched in pain.
A moment later, Murong Ling'er withdrew her spell, and the man in black collapsed to the ground, already unconscious.
It turned out that they were sent by the witch of the witch clan. Murong Ling'er had the answer in her mind and found this matter interesting. It should be related to the poisonous insect that she helped Chu Lingfeng freeze.
At this time, Chu Lingfeng also killed the other men in black and came to Murong Ling'er. He was very surprised to see Murong Ling'er using magic, but he also secretly sighed in his heart that this woman was really powerful.
"How is it? What did you find out?" Chu Lingfeng asked anxiously.
Murong Ling'er told Chu Lingfeng that the witch had sent the men in black. The two looked at each other and felt that there must be a huge conspiracy behind this matter.
"It seems that the road ahead will be even more dangerous." Chu Lingfeng looked solemn.
Murong Ling'er responded expressionlessly, "I hope they'll be sensible and not provoke me! Otherwise, I'll wipe out their witch clan."
