"The Crown Princess and Emperor Wu Lie fell off a cliff together. The cliff is a hundred feet high. I'm afraid they..."

Before the man in black could finish his words, the young man was furious, with an unmistakable ferocity in his voice.

"Huh? The little pet I finally fell in love with was killed by me? Who are those rats? I will make them pay for it."

"Sir, those who shot the arrows have been subdued by a group of secret guards who came later. I secretly saw these assassins claiming to be sent by Censor Liu, but some of them are people I have seen before when I was in contact with the Lin family!"

"Oh, from what I hear, the Lin family not only wants to frame that Liu guy, but they even treat our dignified Demon Sect as abandoned pawns and manipulate them at will?"

A cold smile appeared on the young man's lips. He raised his left hand lightly, and a candlestick instantly cut through the air and hit the curtain of the tent accurately. In an instant, flames broke out, and the flames swallowed up the tranquility. Inside the tent, only the roaring of the raging flames remained.

"You, set off immediately and record all transactions between the Lin family and us in a book, and then give it to the old prince of Wulie Country. Afterwards, withdraw our troops to every stronghold in Wulie Country. Remember, absolutely no trace can be left behind!"

There was a sense of determination and madness in the boy's words, as if he was announcing the coming of a storm.

"But, sir, these strongholds are the result of years of hard work. Should we discuss this with the leader..."

Upon hearing this, the man in black quickly spoke out to give advice.

"Oh? Are you questioning my decision?"

The young man interrupted the man in black, his smile becoming more playful and dangerous.

"Since Emperor Wu Lie knows the martial arts of old monster Tianyi, there must be some connection between the two. If that old monster comes to my house one day, I will throw you out and let him vent his anger..."

The firelight in the tent reflected on the young man's stern face, adding a bit of weirdness and arrogance.

"I dare not. Please calm down, sir!"

The man in black was immediately shocked, because he knew the temperament of this young leader very well, and he knew that he was even crazier and more paranoid than the leader himself.

The young man's expression changed again, and his tone was filled with helplessness and self-mockery:

"Ah, this world is such a joke! I finally met a pet that I really like in this land of martial arts. I was planning on spending some quality time with her, but then this little thing just fell to pieces!"

"What's worse is that I'm afraid I've even provoked the old monster Tianyi. Wu Lieguo and I are simply incompatible. It seems I should return to our Wulin Alliance and mourn my poor little pet!"

As he spoke, he raised his candles and the candlesticks fell onto the curtains one after another. In an instant, the flames were like greedy beasts, devouring every inch of cloth and turning the tent into a sea of ​​fire.

"There's a fire! Help! There's a fire!"

Outside the tent, panicked shouts rose one after another, surging like a tide.

The young man, on the other hand, looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He glanced at the man in black kneeling on the ground, with a playful smile on his face.

"Well, the show has begun, and it's time for us to leave. This campsite will surely be bustling with activity, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see it!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his body and left the tent like a ghost and moved among the chaotic crowd. Seeing this, the man in black didn't have time to think about it. He took advantage of the cover of the chaos and quietly blended into the vast night.

When the raging flames turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated into the sky, everyone who survived the disaster thought they could have a moment of peace.

However, an inexplicable chill quietly spread, because every official participating in the hunt noticed that outside their own tents, rows of armored soldiers had quietly stood up.

"Old Prince, the assassins who attacked His Majesty have all been imprisoned!"

In Mo Xuanche's royal tent, Chu Lingyun reported to Mo Yingyun with a respectful look on his face.

"Lord Chu, is the situation in the capital still stable?"

Mo Yingyun's voice was deep and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty that could not be ignored.

"Don't worry, old prince. The Duke of Qi has personally led his elite troops to surround the capital like a solid wall. All the residences of the dignitaries and the aristocratic families are under strict protection. No scoundrel will have a chance to take advantage of them!"

Chu Lingyun's answer was resounding and full of soothing power.

"Alright! Immediately order a rigorous interrogation of those traitors. I want to know who on earth is so bold as to assassinate the Emperor of Wulie!"

A hint of fierceness flashed in Mo Yingyun's eyes, and then turned into deep worry.

"At the same time, dispatch more personnel to search for the whereabouts of His Majesty and Xiaoyue at all costs. We must find them alive or dead!"

There was an indescribable sense of fatigue and confusion in his words, as if he didn't understand why such a drastic change could happen in just a moment.

Unlike the turbulent outside world, the cave was filled with warmth and tranquility. Bai Yue was chewing the rabbit that Mo Xuanche had roasted for her with relish.

"Wow, Mo Xuanche, your cooking skills are simply amazing! Although this roasted rabbit doesn't have the aroma of cumin, the heat is controlled just right, and the knife skills are extremely delicate and meticulous. It's truly a masterpiece!"

Her words were full of admiration, as if she had discovered some great secret.

Hearing this, Mo Xuanche curled up a smug smile. The dagger in his hand, which he borrowed from Bai Yue, moved freely in the rabbit meat, and then he said with a smile.

"This is my unique skill. It was because of it that that strange old man made an exception and taught me martial arts. However, I'm curious about the 'cumin' you mentioned. What is that thing?"

When Bai Yue heard this, a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes. She took out an exquisite cloth bag from her sleeve and gently untied it. A strange fragrance instantly spread out.

"Here, this is cumin, a magical spice that can enhance the flavor of food."

As she spoke, she lightly raised her finger, and the golden cumin powder fell evenly on the rabbit meat like a drizzle. Suddenly, the already tempting meat aroma added a bit of strange temptation.

"Come, try it. Is it more delicious than before?"

Without thinking, Bai Yue handed a piece of rabbit meat covered with cumin to Mo Xuanche's lips. The other party was slightly stunned, then a gentle arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he swallowed the piece of rabbit meat with Bai Yue's hand.

"Well, it's really extraordinary and makes me want to stop!"

Mo Xuanche looked at Bai Yue with a doting expression, while the other party simply sprinkled all the remaining cumin on another sizzling roasted rabbit.

"By the way, could that strange old man you were talking about be the Elder Tianyi mentioned by those people in black? From what they said, he seems to be very powerful?"
