Bloody Kyoto

Chapter 72 Tonight's Target: The Zhou Family

Upon hearing that Wu Cuicui wanted to leave, the Crown Prince immediately advised her, "Miss Cuicui, your injuries have not fully healed yet. It is not a wise move for you to leave now."

"Besides, there are wanted posters for you everywhere. It would be too dangerous for you to leave the Crown Prince's residence."

Even though the Crown Prince was right, Wu Cuicui still insisted on leaving.

She was grateful that the crown prince saved her life, but his stance was beginning to waver.

If we stay here, there's no guarantee that one day we won't turn against each other.

Anyway, she was completely on the side of that otherworldly person.

In addition, there are rumors outside that the otherworldly person is Miss Huo Lele. If it really is Miss Lele...

Even if she were a ruthless serial killer, she would always stand behind her and support her.

From the moment she was rescued, his life belonged to the lady, and also to Miss Lele.

However, after leaving the Crown Prince's residence, one should not go directly to her, lest the Crown Prince send people to follow and find Miss Lele, even though she herself does not know where to look.

The Crown Prince's persuasion failed, and his expression showed his disappointment. In the end, he could only say, "Miss Cui Cui, if you encounter any danger, you can come to the Crown Prince's residence at any time, and I will protect you."

"This servant thanks Your Highness." Wu Cuicui bowed deeply to him. "Your Highness, please take good care of yourself!"

After secretly seeing Wu Cuicui off, Zhu Siqing said to Fuqing, "Miss Cuicui is very clever. She saw that I was dissatisfied with the people from other worlds, which is why she decided to leave."

Fuqing bowed and remained silent. In truth, he could not understand the Crown Prince's thoughts and was also worried about the Crown Prince's kind heart.

It does seem cruel that the otherworldly beings killed the Liu family's elderly and children, but which person who does great things isn't ruthless?

Moreover, the otherworldly beings are seeking revenge.

Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of emperors executing nine generations of a person's family for committing a crime.

Compared to the otherworldly beings who only killed one family and did not implicate the Liu family members, weren't those emperors even more cruel?

As the Crown Prince, who is part of the royal family, he should understand this better than anyone else.

But rather...

Hey……

Tree Skull Mountain Cloud Family Land

After receiving his younger brother's letter, clan chief Yunze sat alone in his study, deep in thought.

The Yun family is determined to obtain this ability to manipulate plants.

However, according to Yunji, this person from another world is very powerful, and her identity has not yet been discovered.

It's really troublesome that we can't take action without knowing their identity.

Furthermore, the ancestor's predictions about the future of the capital are also troublesome. He doesn't care about the state of the capital, but the cause and effect behind it is something the Yun family cannot afford to bear.

Killing otherworldly beings and seizing their abilities are not mutually exclusive.

His concern was that to capture the otherworldly being in one fell swoop, he would have to take action himself.

However, once he makes a move, his ability to control the wind becomes impossible to hide.

Considering the matter of that otherworldly being with healing abilities, the Zhao family could easily deduce that their lecherous ancestor hadn't simply disappeared, but rather had his abilities stolen and was killed by the Yun family.

At that time, the Zhao family will definitely fight the Yun family to the death.

The Yun family may not be afraid of the Zhao family, but they are afraid of being severely weakened and being taken advantage of by other reclusive families.

The patriarch and the second son were aware of this, yet they still made this decision, indicating that the situation was very urgent.

Thinking it over, he opened the door and went out, giving instructions to the attendants guarding the door.

"Go and ring the black bell."

The Black Bell is specifically used to summon members of the Yun family.

The attendant responded and ran away quickly.

No matter how turbulent the outside world was, Li Nanle remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Every day, besides practicing her superpowers, she would wake up to a misty sky, a sight she saw every morning.

Since arriving in Beijing, she has hardly slept in bed at all; every time, she collapses into bed and falls asleep as soon as her powers are exhausted.

They either sleep on mountains, in the fields, or by the river.

She got up and stretched, then took a shower, ate breakfast, and left the space.

He put the pre-made buns into the steamer, told Ah Niu that he would be back late, and then went out.

Ah Niu was no longer surprised by the sudden appearance of steamed buns and mantou.

After Li Nanle's figure disappeared into the morning fog, he returned to the shop to start moving firewood. Before long, Friday arrived.

June is a great season for foraging for wild vegetables, as there are plenty of them.

Li Nanle carried a basket on his back, inside which was a small iron shovel.

Upon reaching the city gate, they began queuing to leave the city.

After leaving the city, she didn't go far. Instead, she squatted down not far from the city gate and started shoveling something with a shovel.

A woman holding a child saw this and kindly reminded her, "Young lady, if you want to dig for wild vegetables, you can go to a place further away. This place has been completely dug up."

Li Nanle put a wild vegetable into her basket and replied with a smile, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

The older sister smiled and led the child toward the city gate.

Li Nanle did change locations, but not as far away as the woman had said. She was just a little further from the city wall, but still on the same line as before.

After digging up one seed, she tossed another seed in, casually filled in some soil, and then moved to another spot to dig.

And so, no matter where she moved, the distance from the city wall remained the same.

To onlookers, her behavior was simply that of a woman digging for wild vegetables; no one noticed anything strange about the direction she was digging.

The capital city was very large, and Li Nanle dug until evening before he had walked more than half of the city wall.

Looking at the remaining half, she thought it best to go back first. If someone discovered her digging for wild vegetables at night, she would definitely have something to say about it.

Back at the shop, Li Nanle went into her spatial dimension, took out the list given to her by A Niu, and wrote down a name.

The Zhou family was Consort Hui's maternal family.

I'm going to start with you tonight.

As night falls, the assassins of the night are out in force.

Consort Hui was Emperor Zhu Yihua's most beloved woman, and naturally, he treated her family very well.

Although Consort Hui's elder brother, Zhou Shang, did not hold a high official position, the size of his residence was comparable to that of a prince or princess.

In addition, because he was worried about something happening to the Zhou family, the emperor sent some of his personal guards to protect them.

It must be said that the emperor's secret guards were indeed formidable, as Li Nanle was discovered as soon as he arrived outside the Zhou residence's walls.

Perhaps it was because the image of the otherworldly being in black robes was so memorable that these guards didn't ask her a single question before starting to kill her, without even worrying about killing the wrong person.

Li Nanle didn't know any ancient martial arts, so she could only defend herself quickly against these guards.

However, since she can only control one vine, she can only defend one side, not all sides.

She was stabbed in the back, and her healing ability immediately activated. She abandoned her defenses and punched the ground with all her might.

The walls of the Zhou residence instantly cracked and collapsed. She rushed into the Zhou residence with her injuries and threw down a seed of Vajra Vine, which quickly grew into a large patch, stopping the guards for a moment.

The reason it only lasted a moment was because these guards all knew light-footed skills and could easily leap over the vine wall.

However, when they reached the other end of the vines, they did not see the man in black.

The group of people's expressions changed drastically.

"Disperse to the Zhou family's master's side," the suspected leader of the secret guards ordered.

"Yes!"

After responding, the group of people used their light-footed skills to fly away in all directions.
