Chapter 372 Your Highness, you are so amazing!
Chapter 372 Your Highness, you are so amazing!
Song Ruozhen followed Song Yanzhou all the way to the sealed-off area, which had been cordoned off and no one was allowed to pass through.
With the token in hand, Song Yanzhou and the two entered smoothly.
"The soldiers are searching the outer perimeter, moving inwards. However, His Highness the Prince of Chu seems to have made another discovery, so he led his men to search that area first."
Song Yanzhou rode with Song Ruozhen on horseback at a fast pace.
As they drew closer, Song Ruozhen's perception through the Ghost of Destiny became increasingly clear, and she couldn't help but be surprised that the King of Chu had discovered the Heavenly Master's hiding place in such a short time.
"How is the situation now?" Song Yanzhou asked.
"General, you've arrived." Upon seeing Song Yanzhou, the leading general Zhao Jiang hurriedly said, "A team went missing during the search, and Your Highness has led men to look for them."
Today's events were quite strange; a group of people just vanished without a trace. Isn't that odd?
Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen asked in a deep voice, "Where exactly is it?"
Zhao Jiang was taken aback when he saw that Song Yanzhou had brought a young lady with him. However, after a closer look, he recognized her and his attitude became respectful. "Miss Song, please come with me."
Looking at Zhao Jiang's respectful demeanor, Song Yanzhou's eyes flashed with surprise.
This guy is usually so arrogant, I never expected him to be so polite to his own sister.
“They disappeared in the alley ahead, but we’ve searched the area thoroughly and found no trace of them, as if they’d never been there.”
"Looks like we're trapped in a maze." Song Ruozhen understood; this simple illusion was all too familiar to her.
"Brother, this is for you."
Song Ruozhen took out a few talismans and handed them to Song Yanzhou, saying, "Distribute these to everyone. Wearing these talismans can prevent being trapped in a ghostly maze."
Song Yanzhou had no idea when his younger sister had prepared all these talismans; she carried so many with her at all times.
Previously at home, I would just casually take out a talisman.
"for you."
Zhao Jiang took the talisman with a blank expression. Recalling Song Ruozhen's performance at the hunting ground, he knew that the talisman must be a treasure, so he carefully put it into his pocket.
"Thank you, Miss Song!"
"You're welcome," Song Ruozhen said with a slight smile.
Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing in front of her; it was clear that a fight had broken out!
Song Yanzhou and the others' expressions changed, and they hurriedly headed forward.
"Fifth sister, you don't know martial arts, so hide in the back and be careful!"
"I understand, don't worry!" Song Ruozhen quickly followed. She had to catch Master Tianji today!
Meanwhile, those accompanying Chu Junting were all bewildered. They hadn't seen anything, but the prince suddenly drew his sword and began fighting in the air.
"what's the situation?"
Gu Qingci's expression changed drastically. The scene before him looked as if the prince had been possessed by an evil spirit and was even fighting with thin air.
However, when they heard the sound of metal clashing, they immediately realized that their opponent was indeed nearby, but Chu Junting saw him while they did not!
What the hell is going on?!
"careful!"
Seeing the opponent's sword piercing towards Gu Qingci, Chu Junting quickly retreated to block the sword. Looking at the tense and bewildered crowd behind him, he realized that they couldn't see it!
Then why can I see it myself?
She unconsciously recalled that when she left before, Ruozhen had given her a talisman, saying that she must keep it safe as it would be of great use.
At the time, I didn't understand the function of this amulet, but now I understand it completely—it's so magical!
"Ding!"
Gu Qingci sensed the sound of swords clashing very close to him. A strand of hair at his temple was cut off, and he was startled.
"this is for you."
Chu Junting hesitated for a moment before placing the amulet into Gu Qingci's hand.
"Keep this safe for me!"
In the next instant, Gu Qingci saw her opponent clearly, her eyes filled with deep shock. Looking down, she saw a yellow talisman.
"Your Highness, if you give it to me, what will you do with it?!"
When Master Tianji saw that Chu Junting had given the talisman to Gu Qingci, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. The King of Chu was known for his fierce reputation and ruthless killing. How could he entrust his life-saving treasure to someone else?
Who is this guy...?
"Don't worry about me."
Chu Junting simply closed his eyes, listening to the sounds of air being cut through the surroundings, trying to pinpoint their location.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
With a powerful burst of energy, Chu Junting moved nimbly, dodging the attacks like a dragon, and suddenly thrust out his sword.
"what--"
A scream rang out, and then a corpse appeared in front of everyone.
"mob!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Chu Junting's eyes as he moved through the alleyways. Although he couldn't see the person in front of him, he could accurately determine their location.
Screams rang out one after another, several corpses fell to the ground, and a thick stench of blood filled the air...
"This is bad, run!"
Master Tianji was surprised to find that Chu Junting was so powerful. Even Yunyang and the others were able to recover from their previous confusion. Although they could not see their opponent, they were able to protect themselves to the greatest extent possible.
When Song Ruozhen and her group arrived, this was the scene they saw.
Looking at the bloody scene before him, Song Yanzhou turned his head in concern and instinctively tried to cover Song Ruozhen's eyes.
Fifth Sister, a young girl, had never seen such a bloody scene before. If she saw it suddenly, she would have nightmares when she got home that night.
He was understandably flustered when he killed someone for the first time, and had nightmares for two days before he calmed down.
However, when he turned his head, he saw his younger sister looking at Chu Junting with shining eyes and full of amazement. She was not flustered or afraid at all, but instead looked very...admiring?
His sister's courage... isn't it a bit too much?
Chu Junting never imagined that this side of himself would be revealed to Song Ruozhen.
Everyone knows that his hands are stained with blood and that he is used to killing, but he has always been very careful in front of Song Ruozhen, not wanting her to see his cruel side.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his hand gripping the sword unconsciously tightened. A sense of tension welled up in his heart, and for a moment... he even dared not look at Ruozhen.
I'm afraid that if she saw herself like this today, she would feel scared, disgusted, or horrified.
However, the woman's exclamation sounded particularly clear and loud in the alley.
"Your Highness, you're amazing!"
Song Ruozhen's eyes were filled with amazement. She had just watched Chu Junting's superb lightness skill. Even with his eyes closed, he could kill his opponent by listening to the sound and locating the opponent. He was simply like a god!
Although she was the leader of the Xuanmen sect and was proficient in metaphysics, and her martial arts skills were stronger than ordinary people, she was no match for Chu Junting.
I had always heard that Chu Junting was highly skilled in martial arts and could kill many enemies on the battlefield, but I had never seen him on the battlefield.
When she saw it with her own eyes, she was truly amazed. It was incredible!
