The carriage slowly drove out of the border of Beiyan Kingdom.

Surrounded by dense forests, the air is filled with a cool scent.

Inside the carriage, Feng Qingyue leaned on the cushion, looking slightly tired.

Jun Lingyuan sat quietly opposite her, occasionally glancing out the window, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.

Suddenly, there was a movement outside the car.

Several dark shadows moved swiftly through the forest, their footsteps light and quick, as if blending into the night.

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Someone is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned cold and he commanded in a low voice: "Protect yourself."

Before he finished speaking, Lan Yan and Lan Mo quickly appeared on both sides of the carriage, looking nervous and solemn.

The atmosphere around them froze in an instant, and everyone knew that an enemy was approaching.

Outside the car, Ling Yuxiao and Ling Yi were already prepared and looked around vigilantly.

All the guards and secret guards had cold eyes and were ready to fight at any time.

Their eyes need no words, they have already sent a clear signal - fight and never retreat.

At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from the darkness.

Immediately, the leader of the Dark Hall rang out in a steady and overbearing voice: "Kill them all without mercy, especially the two people in the car. They must die!"

The voice was cold and merciless, like a verdict of fate, which immediately made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Listen!" the leader's command rang out. "No matter what, we must take care of these two tonight! Kill them, and everyone will get a reward!"

The assassins of the Dark Hall quickly launched a siege. Their large numbers and swift movements made any resistance seem insignificant.

At this moment, a tall assassin suddenly appeared in front of the carriage. He swung his sword and broke the window open. The sharp blade pointed directly at Feng Qingyue.

Lan Yan and Lan Mo attacked almost at the same time, their figures as fast as the wind, quickly blocking in front of Feng Qingyue.

Lan Yan's sword flashed like lightning, instantly forcing the assassin back.

Lan Mo, with his superb skills in using hidden weapons, accurately hit another enemy who was trying to launch a sneak attack.

Jun Lingyuan calmly drew his sword, and the sword energy cut through the air like ice. Several approaching assassins fell to the ground, and blood was splattered all around.

Every sword strike was precise, deadly, and merciless.

However, the Dark Hall was clearly well prepared. The assassins were exceptionally skilled and their numbers far exceeded expectations.

The assassins came in waves, leaving them no chance to breathe.

Jun Lingyuan's eyes became colder, and he quickly ordered the secret guards to fight together and eliminate the enemies in front of them.

"Retreat!" He whispered the order and quickly retreated forward with Feng Qingyue.

At the same time, Ling Yuxiao and Ling Yi had begun to fight back. Ling Yuxiao's swordsmanship was like a gust of wind and rain, and it was almost impossible to see its trajectory. The sword light carried a fierce murderous aura, and the enemy could not resist it at all.

"All of you die!" the leader of the Dark Hall roared.

He led the remaining assassins to attack Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan, and had obviously decided to deal with the target personally and completely cut off their path of resistance.

However, as the battle continued, the assassins of the Dark Hall gradually fell into trouble.

The fierce counterattack of Feng Qingyue, Jun Lingyuan and their secret guards caused the enemies to fall like a tide.

Swords flashed, hidden weapons flew, and blood dyed the earth red.

In the end, after a frenzied fight, the assassins of the Dark Hall were almost wiped out.

The ground was littered with corpses and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

However, the moment the battle ended, Feng Qingyue suddenly looked up and found that an assassin was retreating quickly and fleeing into the depths of the forest.

"Damn it, he ran away!" Feng Qingyue gritted her teeth angrily and almost swung the sword in her hand again.

"Chase!" A cold light flashed in Jun Lingyuan's eyes, and the secret guard followed closely behind.

Although the secret guards tried their best to pursue him, the assassin from the Dark Hall was extremely fast, far beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

In a flash, he disappeared into the dense woods. Even though the pursuers quickly caught up, they were unable to find any trace of him.

"Give up, he's run too far." Jun Lingyuan said calmly, ordering everyone to regroup.

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and glanced at the fallen Dark Hall assassin. She felt heavy in her heart, "It seems that there are indeed many people who want to take my life."

"Don't worry, they suffered a loss this time, but they should be safe for a while." Ling Yuxiao walked over, wiped the blood off the sword, and said coldly.

"I hope so." Jun Lingyuan nodded, his tone calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of deep thought.

The battlefield returned to a brief tranquility, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue's team began to clean up the battlefield and check the injuries.

At the same time, in a dark hall of the Dark Hall.

A man in a gorgeous black robe sat quietly in a high position, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, like a bottomless black hole.

He stared at the assassins kneeling below him, his brow furrowed. The assassins were covered in blood, in a state of disarray, breathing rapidly, and their faces were filled with fear and anger.

The man in black asked coldly, "You said that all the people we sent died, but they are fine? How were you defeated?"

The assassin raised his head with difficulty, fear flickering in his eyes. "I am truly incompetent. The enemy is too powerful! Moreover, the secret guards are so agile. I cannot even get close to my master. I can only..."

Before he could finish his words, the man in black interrupted him coldly, "You can only... run away?" His voice was as cold as ice and carried a sense of oppression. "Do you understand your sin?"

The assassin's face turned pale, his heart trembled, and he wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the man in black with a wave of his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, do you think I can still tolerate you?"

The assassin quickly fell to the ground, trembling all over: "Please... please spare my life, sir!"

The man in black looked at me with a sharp gaze. He stood up coldly, his steps steady and full of intimidation.

He spoke slowly: "You ran back not just to save your life."

He sneered, "You also brought back some useful information."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and several shadow guards quickly stepped forward and dragged the assassin out.

The man in black glanced around, murderous intent in his eyes, and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, I will take action myself!"

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly solemn. The man in black's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Get ready. I will personally deal with this target."
