My Years in the Jianghu with the Prince: A Time of Unethical Conduct

In broad daylight, a group of men in black robes suddenly appeared on the mountain path.

They didn't seem to be walking very fast, but they arrived at their destination in no time.

The people on the lookout tower saw the approaching people and immediately made a hand gesture inside.

The second-in-command rushed out and greeted them warmly: "The masters have finally arrived. The chief has been waiting inside for a long time."

The leader, a man in black robes, spoke to another man, and their movements visibly paused for a moment before they followed him inside without any apparent change.

The second-in-command's eyes darkened, and he gave a wink to someone in the side. Someone nodded imperceptibly.

After the newcomers entered, the gate was firmly closed, and the unfamiliar bandits stood behind the gate, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the way.

Several men in black robes walked without stopping and soon arrived at the arena, only to find it empty, devoid of the "offerings" that should have been prepared long ago.

Only the leader stood there, sweating profusely, his clothes soaked with sweat.

They stood still, gazing at their leader from afar.

A tense atmosphere filled the air as the bandits approached from all sides, subtly forming an encirclement around the man in black.

The second-in-command's smile was somewhat fake, his face contorted, and he quickly walked to the man in black robes with his hands in his sleeves.

Just as he was about to say something, the leader in black robes suddenly made a move, steadily catching the knife that the second-in-command had pulled from his sleeve and was about to stab him with a curved blade.

He forcefully pushed back the second-in-command, then sneered, a hoarse voice coming from beneath his mask: "Stop pretending, all of you come out."

The group of people disguised as bandits surrounded them. The second-in-command stopped pretending and revealed himself to be Xuanfeng.

"Aren't you ashamed to show your face?!"

Xuanfeng tossed aside his dagger, gave a mocking laugh, and charged forward with his sword.

A group of people were now locked in combat.

Hearing Xuanfeng's words, the man in black robes didn't take them seriously and took out another curved knife.

The two curved blades whistled fiercely as they were flung towards the crowd, spraying blood before returning to the black-robed man's hand.

This man was exceptionally skilled and used insidious methods. Xuanfeng was hesitant to subdue him and was instead repeatedly defeated.

What worried Xuanfeng the most was that he looked toward the other black-robed man who was also a leader.

At first, people would surround him, but after a while, his face would turn black, and he would collapse, foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.

I wonder if that person used poison.

Now it's Yu Bai and Meng Lan who are dealing with that person.

Tao Xian's face was cold and stern as she took the pulse of the person who had fallen.

The poisoned person began to convulse continuously, and the blood vessels in his body slowly bulged as if they were about to burst at any moment.

She cursed, "How vicious and cruel!"

Several people who had fallen had experienced this condition. Tao Xian dared not delay and immediately shot out several silver needles with thin threads from her sleeve, accurately piercing their major acupoints.

"Give them the medicine from the red bottle first, then the medicine from the white bottle."

Tao Xian tossed two bottles of medicine to her subordinates, carefully controlling her internal energy to slowly transmit it into the poisoned person's body through the thin threads tied to her ten fingers.

Let's look at Yu Bai and Meng Lan's side.

Meng Lan has poor eyesight, but she uses hidden weapons.

Surprisingly, his accuracy was exceptionally precise, causing any object the poisoned man in the black robes would flick out of his wide sleeves to be deflected by his hidden weapon.

Yu Bai had no weapons in his hands.

In stark contrast to his slightly shy face were his two strong and powerful fists.

With Yu Bai coordinating with Meng Lan's hidden weapons, he unleashed several punches imbued with internal energy, causing the ground to collapse and create sizable pits.

The man in black robes barely managed to dodge, but the force of the blow tore a corner of his robe, revealing a garment adorned with silver ornaments underneath.

"Tsk."

The man in black robes finally spoke, his voice clear and youthful, tinged with anger: "You dare to ruin my clothes? You're asking for death!"

Yu and Bai were startled and both took a step back warily.

The black-robed youth raised his arm, and from the two black hole-like sleeves, a swarm of black flying insects poured out as if by magic!

Unexpectedly, the black-robed youth was capable of more than just poison.

Although they didn't know what kind of insects these were, their intuition told them that they absolutely must not touch them.

One of them was unarmed, and the other was using hidden weapons. They didn't have a good way to defend themselves and could only use their internal energy to knock down the insects.

But the black-robed youth was blowing something from his mouth, which made the insects dodge the two men's attacks.

Yu Bai and Meng Lan were still young, and their inner strength was not yet profound enough to be unfathomable, so they began to feel somewhat powerless.

Just then, seeing that the medicine had been fed to everyone, Tao Xian shook her ten fingers and withdrew all the silver needles.

The needle was removed, and black blood slowly flowed from the punctured area.

"Take them away. They'll be fine once the black blood stops flowing."

After giving a word of advice, Tao Xian floated away without pausing.

"let me."

Her figure moved elusively, and when she landed among the swarm of insects, not a single one could touch her.

"Sister Tao Xian!"

Yu Bai and Meng Lan called out gratefully.

With a wave of her hand, she gently pushed the two apart.

Tao Xian remained calm and composed. She raised her palm, gathered her energy, and struck the air. A surge of powerful internal energy, carrying a unique fragrance, burst forth from her body!

With a single strike, the insects had no chance to struggle and fell to the ground dead.

The black-robed youth's whistling stopped abruptly, and he took a half-step back in disbelief.

Xuanfeng was relieved to see Tao Xian attack the young man.

Tao Xian was not only a highly skilled healer, but also the best martial artist among their guards. Once she took action, there were basically no problems.

"Hmph! Still in the mood to look around? Prepare to die!"

Two curved blades swung down at Xuanfeng's head, one on the left and one on the right.

In the nick of time, Xuanfeng's waist bent backward with incredible flexibility, causing the attacker's blade to miss its mark.

He braced himself with his hands on the ground, did a backflip, and kicked his legs forcefully at the hand holding the knife.

The black-robed man's hand holding the knife went numb, and he involuntarily released the weapon, immediately thinking, "This is bad!"

Xuanfeng didn't let this opportunity pass. He immediately rushed forward and struck the pressure point on the man's chest with the hilt of his sword, causing the man to fall to the ground, unable to move.

The remaining members of the Church of Saint Sun were also captured one by one.

Xuanfeng reached out to the man in black robes, about to grab him, when he shouted anxiously, "Wu Li! Why aren't you doing it?!"

That was clearly calling for the black-robed youth from Tao Xian's side.

Do they have some other tricks up their sleeve?!

Xuanfeng quickly looked at Taoxian, only to see that she had already knocked the black-robed youth to the ground and was stepping on his chest.

Despite being severely beaten, the boy's voice betrayed no anger; instead, he muttered a curse at his companion: "That idiot! He even called out my name."

Then he changed the subject and said to Tao Xian, "Sister, I advise you to let me go quickly."

Peach Fairy remained unmoved and even increased her strength. The boy groaned in pain and then began to mutter strange, incomprehensible words.

"what!"

A cry of pain came from behind Tao Xian.
