Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

At the command of the Shadow Cult's vice leader, the men in black sprang into action. They divided into several small teams, infiltrating every corner of the capital to find easily swayed citizens.

At a market, several men dressed in black deliberately stirred up trouble. They loudly proclaimed the "corruption" and "injustice" of the imperial court, embellishing previously fabricated rumors. Some uninformed people gradually gathered around them, listening to their incitement, their faces showing anger.

"The imperial court doesn't care about our lives at all, why should we suffer like this!" a man in black shouted.

"Yes! We can't tolerate this any longer!" some people echoed.

The crowd's emotions gradually escalated, and the situation began to spiral out of control. Just then, the guards who had been lying in wait nearby received a signal and quickly surrounded the area from all directions.

"You people dare to spread rumors and cause trouble here, disrupting the order of the capital!" a guard leader shouted.

Upon seeing this, the man in black immediately drew his weapon, preparing to fight back. A fierce clash instantly erupted between the two sides. The civilians, terrified by the sudden fighting, scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, similar clashes broke out at several other locations where disturbances occurred. Xiao Jian, Yong Qi, and Er Kang each led their guards in battle against the men in black.

Xiao Jian encountered several highly skilled men in black in a small alley. These men were clearly elites of the Shadow Cult; they coordinated perfectly and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Jian.

"You villains, today is your end!" Xiao Jian roared, his sword flashing like a lightning bolt. He unleashed his fierce swordsmanship, parrying the attacks of the men in black. After several rounds, the men in black gradually found themselves on the defensive.

Yongqi and Erkang's side is also making good progress. Yongqi is highly skilled in martial arts, moving through the crowd as if it were empty, each sword strike precisely aimed at the enemy. Erkang, on the other hand, relies on his calm mind to skillfully deflect the enemy's attacks time and time again, and even launches counterattacks from time to time.

After a fierce battle, most of the men in black were subdued. However, the Shadow Cult's vice-leader escaped in the chaos.

"Oh no, the vice leader has escaped!" Yongqi said in frustration.

“Don’t worry, we have a lot of clues, he can’t escape,” Xiao Jian said.

They quickly cleared the scene and calmed the frightened crowd. Meanwhile, they interrogated the captured men in black.

In a secret room, several guards were interrogating a man dressed in black.

"Speak! Where is your vice-leader hiding? And who else is involved in your conspiracy?" the guard asked sternly.

The man in black initially remained defiant and refused to confess. However, under intense pressure from the guards, he finally relented.

"The vice-leader might be hiding in an abandoned temple in the west of the city. There are also some others hiding in various corners of the capital, but I don't know the specifics," the man in black said.

Upon learning this news, Xiao Jian and his companions immediately decided to head to the abandoned temple in the west of the city. Led by a team of elite guards, they quietly made their way to their destination.

The capital city was exceptionally quiet at night, with only their hurried footsteps echoing through the streets. Soon, they arrived at the abandoned temple.

The area around the temple was deathly silent, exuding a faint, eerie atmosphere. Xiao Jian gestured for everyone to be careful, then led them cautiously into the temple.

As soon as they entered, they heard whispers coming from inside. It seemed the vice-leader was indeed hiding here.

"Everyone, proceed with caution and make sure to capture the vice leader in one fell swoop," Xiao Jian said in a low voice.

The group gripped their weapons tightly and crept towards the source of the sound. A final showdown was about to unfold. Could they successfully capture the vice-leader and completely crush the remaining forces of the Shadow Cult? Could the capital city return to its former peace? All was about to be revealed…
