While entangled with the guards, June immediately noticed the unusual situation.

Seeing that the Pavilion Master was in trouble, he was extremely anxious and tried his best to get rid of the guards who were entangled with him.

Xiang Yichen walked over and saw Feng Wu, who seemed fearless, among the crowd.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately threw a dart at Fengwu.

An official noticed and immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Ah... protect His Majesty... ah!"

Four of the five darts were blocked, but one pierced straight into Fengwu's shoulder.

The servants standing nearby were horrified. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Something terrible has happened! His Majesty has been assassinated!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

"Quickly...quickly use the net...use the net to arrest them!"

"Quick... quick, catch the assassin and don't let him escape!"

"Imperial physician...quickly...please summon the imperial physician..."

Immediately, a group of servants and palace attendants carried Fengwu away!

The scene became chaotic, and Yichen had lost his bearings.

June immediately came to Yi Chen's side, but before he could even stand still, Yi Chen's sword was already in front of him.

In June, she narrowly dodged the attack and immediately exclaimed, "It's me, Pavilion Master!"

Yi Chen felt relieved and immediately asked, "You hit that old woman? Is she dead?"

Damn it, he was careless!

"June is blocking the attack as the soldiers approach and speak," said one of them.

"Take this dart! I've poisoned it with a deadly poison; you won't live long!"

He immediately grabbed Yi Chen, saying, "Sect Master, I'll take you away first!"

Yi Chen nodded, and just as the two of them leaped into the air, a huge iron net fell down on their heads.

The net trapped the two of them directly, and June's expression changed as she immediately tried to break free of it.

But it was no use. "We caught them! Quick... quick, we caught them!"

The soldier raised his spear and thrust it at the two men.

In June, worried that Yichen would get hurt, she tried her best to stop him, but she was pricked by the long hair herself!

The moment the spear pierced through his shoulder blade, June let out a muffled groan as a metallic taste exploded in her throat.

He bit his lower lip hard, and drops of bright red blood dripped down the iron fan, staining his black clothes, but he still stood in front of Yichen.

Yi Chen couldn't see, but he could hear the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh and blood, and he could smell a strong stench of blood.

Immediately realizing that June must be injured, she anxiously asked, "June... how are you... are you injured!"

June was too weak to answer, and could only force herself to stand in front of Yichen.

His mouth was brimming with blood, and he mumbled, "Sect...Sect Master..."

Then he fell silent and collapsed limply.

The soldier raised his blade again and stabbed at Yi Chen beneath the net.

Swords and blades pierced Yi Chen's body, striking his thighs, waist, abdomen, and arms...

Yi Chen tried to stop them, but his whole body was covered by iron netting, so it was all in vain.

He channeled his inner strength and struck in one direction, causing more than a dozen soldiers to fall to the ground with a thud.

But the person who just fell down was immediately replaced.

They trapped Yichen tightly under the iron net, making him struggle desperately.

At that moment, an official shouted, "We must not let the assassin escape..."

"Quickly! Quickly...kill him!"

At this moment, the other members of the Dark Night Pavilion also gathered around.

Seeing June and the Pavilion Master trapped in the middle, he became furious and frantically swung his sword at the surrounding soldiers.

They wanted to cut through the iron net to rescue the pavilion master, but ultimately they couldn't withstand hundreds or thousands of soldiers.

Despite numerous obstacles, members of the Dark Night Pavilion fell one after another, and the soldiers gradually surrounded them.

They raised their spears high above their heads, forming a high wall to prevent them from escaping.

At this moment, Yi Chen felt that all hope was lost. He was covered in blood and had little strength left under the giant net!

No, he can't get caught. He still has Ye Lin... and...

With sheer willpower, she propped herself up and grabbed the iron net above her head, her fingers clenching tightly.

With a roar, he unleashed his inner strength, shattering the iron net above his head.

Using internal force forcefully resulted in the rapid dissipation of all his energy.

A mouthful of blood gushed out, instantly shocking the surrounding soldiers.

For a moment, no one dared to step forward. Then, a group of men in black suddenly appeared from a distance.

Meteor, who had just arrived with more than twenty people, saw the severely injured and besieged Pavilion Master, as well as his brothers and sisters lying in pools of blood.

Their eyes turned red, and they immediately plunged into the encirclement.

They attacked the surrounding soldiers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Meteor immediately rushed to Yichen's side and anxiously asked, "Sect Master... how are you?"

Upon hearing the sound of the meteor, Yi Chen felt a sense of relief and his body went limp.

With a struggle, he managed to utter a few words, "Take June with me... let's go!"

He lost consciousness immediately after saying those words.

Meteor looked at the unrecognizable Pavilion Master and the lifeless June.

He shouted, "Take our men and retreat!"

They did not linger in the fight; after shaking off the soldiers, they immediately leaped into the dense forest.

A group of pursuers gave chase at top speed... and the camp was thrown into chaos.

Feng Yu, who was admiring the scenery in the distance, was shocked. "What did you say? His Majesty was assassinated?"

She was just out for some fresh air, how did His Majesty get assassinated?

Where are the Imperial Guards? Where are the Secret Guards? And where are the soldiers?

The attendant quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness... Your Majesty... Your Majesty seems to be injured."

I don't know the situation, you...you should go and check on them right away!

This was a momentous matter, and Feng Yu immediately rode her horse toward the camp.

Upon arrival, one sees that within three meters of the military tent are neatly dressed guards in heavy armor.

She was stopped just as she was about to approach. "Halt! The Queen has ordered that no one is allowed to approach!"

Feng Yu frowned. "Am I not allowed to enter either?"

"No one is allowed to enter!"

Feng Yu flicked her sleeve and looked at the soldiers cleaning up the mess in the distance, clearing away the corpses.

There were hundreds of corpses; it seems this assassin was no ordinary person.

He frowned and then noticed a group of officials standing in the distance!

With a gloomy expression, he walked up to the group and asked them.

Seeing the middle-aged woman at the front, he said, "Minister Li, tell me what happened when you fell to the ground?"

Minister Li trembled as he recounted what had happened.

Feng Yu's brows furrowed more and more as she listened.

"Not only did they fail to capture the assassin, but His Majesty was also injured."

"Where are the Imperial Guards? How come there are no Imperial Guards when there was an assassin attack?"

Minister Li spoke tremblingly, “Many ferocious wild beasts have appeared in the mountains!”

The Left Commander has been assigned by His Majesty to patrol the mountains!

By the time Commander Zuo returned, it was too late! The assassins had already vanished!

However, the man in black who attacked His Majesty is already dead, and the other one is probably not going to survive either.

The imperial physicians are currently treating His Majesty's injuries.

That's all I know, Prince of Nan'an!

Feng Yu frowned and looked at the others, only to hear them say the same thing.

That gave me a general understanding of the situation.

It seems this man in black had planned this all along...

His Majesty is still in the tent, so they can only stay put and wait.

Inside the tent, an elderly man with gray hair was sweating profusely as he treated Fengwu's wounds.

Trembling, he removed the dart from Fengwu's shoulder!
