The man in black respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master, rest assured, this servant will definitely not let Han Zixuan escape!"

Murong Yudie nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, remember to leave some traces."

Make sure everyone thinks Han Zixuan was attacked by wild animals in the mountains!

If this succeeds, I will certainly reward you handsomely!

"Don't worry, Master. There's a cliff to the north, a hundred feet high, perfect for creating an accident."

The servant has already laid bait nearby, as long as that Han guy gets close.

We will make sure they never return.

"Hmm, not bad, you do have some brains!"

Then several people came out from behind carrying a sack.

"Master, this is the prey prepared for you!"

This time, our master will definitely win first place!

Murong Yudie looked at her abundant prey and smiled slightly.

"Oh, that's thoughtful!"

Murong Yudie randomly lifted her prey onto her horse and rode away.

The men in black also disappeared back into the treetops.

Before Han Zixuan even arrived, they found themselves facing off against Meteor and his group of men in black!

Both men in black noticed each other and were startled.

Meteor frowned, realizing he'd been discovered, and instinctively tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.

Meanwhile, the man in black frowned and pondered when he saw Meteor's group!

The subordinates whispered to their boss.

"Boss, what's this? Another group of people?"

The man in black, who was called "boss," was also confused and frowned.

"How would I know? The master didn't say there was another team."

"Could it be that the master is afraid we won't do a good job, so he sent more people?"

"If this succeeds, who will get the credit?"

"........."

The man in black frowned, realizing there was some truth to it.

They then looked across at each other, and tensions instantly rose!

The man in black immediately spoke up, "Hey, this kidnapping mission was ordered to us by our master!"

You'd better leave as soon as possible!

Meteor was puzzled after hearing this, "Master?...What master?"

He then exchanged a glance with the person behind him.

We exchanged gestures, but these people didn't seem to recognize us; they appeared to be trying to kidnap someone.

"Heh, it seems there are many shady dealings involved in this hunt!"

Since they don't know who we are, let's take advantage of the chaos!

Meteor nodded, then nodded to the man in black opposite him.

He cupped his hands in greeting and then walked past the group toward the place the pavilion master had mentioned.

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Meteor and his companions leave.

"There are so many people on the other side, and we are so few. I thought we were going to have to fight a lot!"

"Alright, now that that group has left, let's focus on guarding this road and waiting for that Han Zixuan to take the bait!"

Another fifteen minutes passed before we finally saw the figure on horseback again in the distance.

"Almost there! Almost there! This must be Han Zixuan!"

"Quickly compare the images and get the net ready!"

The man in black was in a flurry of activity as he watched Han Zixuan approach.

He was ready, his eyes fixed on Han Zixuan, who was getting closer and closer below.

Han Zixuan had already sensed the anomaly from ten meters away using her psychic abilities.

The people squatting on the treetops were too obvious. Could this be the work of Murong Yudie?

Isn't that a bit too childish? Then, deliberately walking under the tree...

Han Zixuan paused for a moment, and the person in the tree immediately waved.

A giant net descended from above, but Han Zixuan squeezed her legs against the horse's belly at that moment.

They sped away, and the men in black, having missed their target, were filled with anger.

They actually let it get away. He turned to look at Han Zixuan, who had reined in her horse and stopped.

Deep in the dense forest, where branches and leaves blocked out the sun, Han Zixuan's chestnut horse suddenly reared up.

The cawing startled the crows perched on the treetops. She lowered her eyes, gazing at the black-clad figures that had suddenly appeared around her.

His fingertips unconsciously caressed the riding crop in his hand, and a smile curved his lips.

"A cowardly rat hiding its head and tail, saves me the trouble of looking for it."

The man in black frowned and shouted angrily, "Attack!"

Before she could finish speaking, three cold beams shot through the air toward Han Zixuan.

Han Zixuan spun and flipped to the side, her whip darting out like a snake, the tip of the whip precisely wrapping around the hidden weapon, and with a flick of her wrist, she flung it back.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and swept towards the nearest man in black, her whip flashing in the air.

The sounds of leather and fabric tearing echoed, and drops of blood, smelling of rust, splattered onto the withered leaves.

The men in black saw how swiftly Han Zixuan killed one of them.

He was shocked; this person's martial arts skills were so high.

It seems impossible to capture him alive...

The leader shouted, "Attack together!"

The men in black gripped their broadswords tightly and swarmed forward.

Han Zixuan's expression hardened, and she brandished her riding whip to block.

Her figure shifted, the whip moving back and forth in her hand, striking the approaching man in black again and again, leaving bloody welts.

In a short while, more than ten people lay sprawled on the ground groaning in pain, while only one person was still kneeling on one knee, struggling to stay upright.

Han Zixuan curled her lips into a smile. Is this all the Murong family is capable of? They've only managed to gather a bunch of lackeys.

He flicked the curved blade off the ground with his toe, and with a flash of cold light, it was pressed against the man's throat.

As she bent down, the hair at her temples was blown by the wind and swayed gently.

His eyes flashed with a cold light. "So you were the ones Murong Yudie sent!"

The oppressive words were not a question, but a resolute judgment.

The man in black's pupils contracted sharply, and he let out a broken denial, but the sudden tightening of her grip caused his face to turn blue and purple.

"Think it over before you speak!" Han Zixuan sneered, increasing the pressure on her hand.

The man in black also sensed the fear of death, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke out forcefully.

"No...it's not..."

A dark glint flashed in Han Zixuan's eyes. She stopped asking questions, her fingertips bulging with veins as she suddenly twisted her wrist.

With a sickening cracking sound, the man in black's neck snapped to one side at an eerie angle.

Before the terror in his eyes had faded, he collapsed to the ground.

The pile of dead leaves rustled as the corpse struck them, sending up wisps of dust that hovered in the stagnant air.

Han Zixuan then slowly let go of the man in black, letting him fall limply to the ground.

"I gave you a chance!" Han Zixuan withdrew her hand, her tone indifferent.

He glanced sideways at the group of people lying on the ground in pain, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"You also have a chance to speak!"

The man in black, still convulsing, scrambled backward, his back hitting the tree trunk with a dull thud.

Han Zixuan approached slowly, the sound of her embroidered shoes crushing dry branches like a death knell, closing in step by step.

Finally, one of them couldn't hold on any longer and cried out in a trembling voice, "Ah...ah...I...I'll talk...I'll talk about not...not...killing me!"

Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow, rotated her wrist, and looked at her.

"Say!"

The man in black swallowed hard. "Yes...we...we were following Lady Murong's orders...to tie you up here!"

"Any more?"

"And...and...there's also...creating the illusion of being attacked by wild beasts...to secretly transport you away!"

No...that's all...that's all I know!
