the group of men.They were controlled mentally. An Xue Tang glanced at Mo Yun Jing, seeing him nod slightly, she walked towards Nineteen.The people from the Western Regions also walked to An Xue Tang'...Yun Yi did not disappoint them. He brought back a general location of the Hidden Sword Sect's lair.

The disciples of the Li Jian School went into a mountain, but it was a notorious dangerous mountain. Nearly everyone who entered never came out!

Yun Yi saw the marks left by Yun Wu and Yun Liu at the foot of the mountain. He wanted to follow them, but he knew deep down that if he didn't return to lead the troops, even if he successfully found the lair of the Li Jian Pai, he wouldn't be able to save the prince safely from those Li Jian Pai experts with his own strength.

"Ajing, let's go now." An Xuetang knew the mountain was just ten miles outside the city, and she couldn't wait to bring her Zi Ling back.

Mo Yunjing wanted to tell her to just wait in camp, but knowing her temperament, he knew his words would be futile. He might as well let her do as she pleased.

Two men rode with five thousand cavalrymen towards the perilous northern mountains of Meng.

As the group neared the foot of the mountain, An Xuetang, riding on horseback, suddenly saw several houses along the road with lights burning.

In this desolate place, these few households seemed especially eerie. An Xue Tang subconsciously looked at Mo Yun Jing.

Mo Yunjing also tilted his head to glance at her. Apparently, they both thought of the same thing.

These few households are most likely relaying messages to the reclusive Lijiange hidden in the mountains.

"Ajing, I'll go take a look."

"Send Yun Yi away." Mo Yun Jing looked at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi understood immediately and rushed over with several people.

Soon, two women and two men were escorted back.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang dismounted, and the four of them knelt down, bowing their heads. They dared not raise their heads, looking just like commoners from the lower classes.

If it weren't for the two women's attire, An Xuetang would have truly believed they were ordinary commoners.

Mo Yunjing remained silent, so An Xue Tang instructed the four to lift their heads first.

These two men seem to have no flaws, but these two women reveal many.

It couldn't be said they were women, these two girls were probably just over ten years old. They both had their hair styled in a woman's fashion, but their eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and their makeup was surprisingly neat. An Xuetang sneered inwardly, could these two women possibly want to go to sleep with their makeup on

An Xuetang gave a thoughtful glance at the two women's attire. One was dressed in a pink linen robe, while the other wore a light purple one. Both had identical red embroidered shoes on their feet, and most notably, at the tip of each shoe, one could faintly see a small eastern pearl embedded. Beneath their skirts, they also wore something that shimmered indistinctly in the night.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, instantly understanding that these people were from the Liji Sword Sect. She pursed her lips, but in an instant, a dagger appeared in her hand, its cold light flashing. Everyone felt a blood-red light flash before their eyes, and one of the four men fell to the ground.

A swift and decisive blow!

The three kneeling on the side were all shocked, apparently they couldn't expect that this woman would kill without saying a word before they could even speak!

One woman's eyes betrayed her emotions almost completely, her fists clenched as if she wanted to strike, but one of the men silently pulled her back.

The enemy has brought so many people. Once they make a move, they will expose themselves and surely die!

The three of them seemed to react a beat late, and then they shrieked "Ah!" repeatedly. An Xue Tang stared at them wordlessly with cold eyes. This acting... so cringe!

One woman even feigned tears and said, "You...how could you kill someone so casually"

An Xuetang sneered upon hearing the sound. Her fair face still bore traces of blood, and her eyes were terrifyingly cold. She casually flipped the bloody dagger in her hand, its murderous aura palpable, and spoke lightly:

"You invaded the Sword Sect into the city, killing so many civilians and soldiers in Beijang City. Why can't I kill"

When An Xue Tang directly exposed their identities, those people were obviously flustered, but each of them still pretended to be calm on their faces, subconsciously denying, "We don't know what this Madam is talking about."

"Is that so" An Xue Tang's voice was now icy cold, her eyes radiating a chilling intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

She didn't say a word, and immediately launched another attack. With a single swift stroke, she silenced the woman who had just questioned her about the killing.

The remaining two people instinctively screamed, covering their heads and shouting 'Don't kill me, don't kill me'.

Mo Yunjing remained silent throughout the entire ordeal. He stared intently at the two figures on the ground, their necks bearing clean, ruthless slashes where blood and flesh were mangled. He gained a deeper understanding of An Xuetang's swordsmanship through this gruesome display.

An Xuetang didn't want to waste time. Her icy eyes fixed on the two, and she said coldly, "Are you going to take us into the mountains yourselves or are you going to die under my blade like them"

The two of them paused for a moment, thinking to themselves that they probably didn't need to deny it anymore. Suddenly, they drew out the daggers hidden in their sleeves and lunged at An Xuetang.

But Mo Yunjing naturally couldn't let them succeed. With a gentle wave of his hand, the two men immediately spat blood and fell to the ground.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, swiftly ending another man's life with a blade. She then stared coldly at the lone woman who remained, "Now tell me, do you choose to come into the mountains with us or... die"

This must be a woman from the sect of swordsmen. She glanced at the man who had died beside her, then raised the dagger in her hand, wanting to charge up and die with An Xuetang.

Mo Yunjing's eyes darkened, and with a single palm strike, he killed the target!

Mo Yunjing: "..."

Given her ruthless display of killing just now, he thought she wouldn't leave them alive.

But he still shook his head slightly, "It's fine, they should have maps on them."

Yún Yīyī listened and immediately personally searched those people.

As expected, they had a map hidden on them. It was drawn quite haphazardly, but An Xue Tang still managed to understand it.

"Ajing, this mountainous terrain isn't suitable for you to go into. Otherwise, with your legs, you probably won't be able to make it back."

If there had been no war, Mo Yunjing would have been able to enter the mountains in his recovered state. However, after a month of campaigning and warfare, Mo Yunjing's legs have deteriorated so severely that he now finds it incredibly difficult to take even a single step.

If he wasn't stubbornly holding on right now, he would probably be in a wheelchair by now. In this situation, An Xuetang wouldn't let him go into such rugged mountains.

Don't even talk about whether he can safely get down the mountain, getting up the mountain is a problem in itself.

Mò Yúnjǐng knew his own physical condition. Going up the mountain now was indeed a burden. He looked at Yúnyī without emotion, "You take people into the mountains, be sure to bring back Zǐlíng, those people... kill them all!"

Yun Yi raised one hand in a salute, and said solemnly, "Yes!"

"Ajing, going into the mountains is my specialty, I'll go in too."

Mo Yunjing refused without hesitation, "No."

An Xuetang's face instantly fell, "There's nothing wrong with that. I'm Ziling's mother, I have to go in and save him. Even if I don't have inner strength, even if I can't beat those people from the Lijiang School, I have brains. If I can't fight, I'll outsmart them. Ajing, you can't stop me!"unze frowned, feeling that something was amiss. Before he could say anything more, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army suddenly spoke, "Your Highness, it's getting late, we need to hurry."Mo Yun...
