The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

I don’t know when.

Outside the gate of the Sun Moon Cult's secret stronghold stood a tall, slender figure dressed in a white robe.

His head was also covered with a white cloak.

As for his face, he was wearing a black mask.

In this way, outsiders cannot see her face at all.

For some reason, the beauties in the martial arts world of the Great Jing Dynasty all liked to wear cloaks over their heads, for fear that their beauty would be spied on by outsiders.

These casual words gradually calmed the enraged old cult leader down, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

After a moment of silence, the old cult leader shook his head and sighed, "I know I'm useless! But I hate it!"

"My Sun Moon Divine Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years. Do you think it will be destroyed in my hands?!"

"I said before that getting involved in the power struggles of the court would surely lead to the annihilation of our sect. Especially in a high-level contest like the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle, we have no chance of winning!" the masked woman said calmly, her voice even colder. "But now, it's too late for regrets! Fortunately, our foundation is still intact. The most urgent task is to figure out how to restore our strength."

“What the Holy Maiden says is absolutely right.”

After hearing the woman's words, the old cult leader took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down.

The believers present, upon witnessing this scene, felt relieved once again.

They turned their heads and cautiously looked at the masked woman at the gate, their faces filled with not only awe but also utter fanaticism!

Who else but the Holy Maiden could calm down the old cult leader who was in a berserk state with just a few words?

In the Sun Moon Cult, the Holy Maiden is the only one who can stand on equal footing with the cult leader!

Even in the hearts of the believers, the Holy Maiden holds an even more transcendent position!

Especially this year's Holy Maiden, she's practically a fairy!

Even the cult leader held it in the highest esteem.

This time, the Sun Moon Cult was besieged by the imperial court, and it was only thanks to the Holy Maiden's intervention at the critical moment that the Sun Moon Cult was able to survive. Otherwise, it would probably have been wiped out!

The holy maiden, dressed in white robes, ignored the fanatical believers and walked to the throne in the hall to sit down.

This throne was just relinquished by the old leader.

"Who is impersonating my Sun Moon Cult? Have you found out?"

The Holy Maiden's tone was extremely cold, as if she were a robot, devoid of any emotion.

After the old cult leader got up, he walked to the side, but he seemed to be used to it all.

"We haven't found out yet. Our people have fought with those people, but they are extremely ruthless. When they are about to be captured alive, they will bite down on the poison in their teeth."

"Given the methods used by the other party, it is indeed very difficult to find out their identity. However, fortunately, the black-clad master of the Twelfth Tower of Wind and Waves has also appeared, so we can shift the blame onto the Twelfth Tower of Wind and Waves." The Holy Maiden paused here, "Although it's a bit of a stretch, it's not entirely unreasonable."

As everyone knows, the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves only has twelve people and never accepts more than twelve disciples!

Each time the master of the tower is on his deathbed, he will choose his successor and then pass on all his skills to him through a divine initiation.

As for so many men in black...

If the other party wanted to gather them, with the capabilities of the Twelve Towers of Wind and Waves, how could they not do so?

The reason, though far-fetched, is still plausible.

"These people aren't the most despicable. The most despicable are those who leaked the secrets of our Sun Moon Cult! Have you found out yet?" the Holy Maiden continued to ask.

The old cult leader nodded and said, "It's true that someone provided Wu Qingye with information to surround and attack us this time."

"Who?"

"We haven't found out yet, but before Wu Qingye received this news, one of our elders who went to Yilan City on a mission went missing!"

Upon hearing the old cult leader's words, the Holy Maiden's eyes turned icy cold: "Yilan County? What kind of mission could a small town have? Who gave you the mission?"

"It was arranged by the Fifth Prince."

The old cult leader then recounted what had happened last time.

"Because of a jealous argument, a woman, my Sun Moon Cult headquarters was destroyed!"

"That fifth prince is all he's good for!"

"Holy Maiden, watch your words!" The old cult leader was startled.

"But this guy, knowing full well that the other party is the Fifth Prince, still dared to steal a woman from him. He's quite bold." The Holy Maiden stretched out her fair, jade-like fingers and placed them on the armrest of the throne beside her. She gently tapped the precious jade on the armrest with her index finger, looked at the courtyard outside, and did not speak for a moment.

After a moment, the Holy Maiden parted her lips slightly: "This time, I'll trouble you to make the trip yourself and bring this person back. Remember, leave him alive."

"Yes! I'll go catch it right away!"

The old leader, who had nowhere to vent his anger, immediately prepared to set off after receiving the order!

Just then, a hawk glided in from outside and landed in front of the Holy Maiden.

It was the hawk used by the Sun Moon Cult to deliver messages!

This kind of eagle is much more precious than ordinary carrier pigeons!

Did something happen?

The Holy Maiden narrowed her eyes.

The old cult leader beside them also stopped walking at this moment.

The Holy Maiden reached out and took the message from the carrier pigeon's leg.

The letter was only a thin strip of paper. After unfolding and reading it, the Holy Maiden's jade-like fingers trembled slightly.

The paper strip turned into a pile of powder!

It falls gently in the wind.

"Interesting. The cause of Lei Bao's death has been found. As an opponent who has fought against me for many years, it's a pity that this guy is dead."

The Holy Maiden chuckled softly, as if she had discovered something quite novel and interesting.

However, as a result, the old cult leader and the group of followers all lowered their heads at the same time, wishing they could bury their heads in their chests!

They all know.

Indifference is the norm for our Holy Maiden!

But if the Holy Maiden smiles, then someone is definitely going to be in trouble!

And it was the kind of bad luck that came with it!

At this time, you must not make any movement; it's best to become a statue!

"Master, you stay here to recover. As for that brat, I will deal with him personally."

"The Holy Maiden spoke again."

"Huh? Holy Maiden, why is that kid worth your personal attention?" The old cult leader was completely bewildered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old cult leader looked at the hawk.

"Don't even think about it. It was this letter that made me change my mind. That kid is the next candidate for the Imperial City Guard. According to my intelligence, Lei Bao was poisoned by him and that's why he was killed!"

“I’ve been fighting with Lei Bao for so many years, I know his methods. This kid is interesting.”

The Holy Maiden's calm voice echoed in the hall.

"What?!!!"

The old cult leader's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard what the Holy Maiden said!

Who will be the next commander of the Imperial City Guard?

Lei Bao is dead?

No wonder we haven't heard from that old guy for so long!

However, as a long-time rival, the old leader had some mutual respect for Lei Bao, and now that he heard that the other party had died so suddenly, he was filled with mixed feelings.

Is that kid really that scary?

“I’m also puzzled, but there’s nothing really to be surprised about. After all, someone who can easily kill our elder, marry the second young lady of Xuanhua, be won over by Wu Qingye, and defeat the Longwu Kingdom’s delegation at Mantuo Manor must have some real skills!”

After saying this, the Holy Maiden smiled gently again.

Laughter is like a clear mountain stream, very pleasant to hear!
