Although Chu Li could not see through Prince An's thoughts, he could guess it from his smile.
He shook his head. They were both scheming, it was time to see who was more accurate!
He brought Siao Shi, who looked unfriendly, out of their field of vision and disappeared in a flash. He returned to the Public House, his courtyard.
Siao Shi sat in the pagoda and scoffed coldly, "Yang Xu and Xue Ling will be fine, right?"
"They will leave on their own. Someone will receive them," Chu Li said.
Siao Shi's face was cold and she frowned.
Chu Li said, "My Lady, bear with it for a while. He won't live for long!"
"What method did you use?" Siao Shi's spirit was lifted.
Chu Li smiled, "A very common method."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Siao Shi said impatiently.
Chu Li looked at her. She had the sarira prayer beads, so divine powers could not get close. He was not afraid that Xu Ning would notice.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Siao Shi urged.
Chu Li said, "I planted a type of grass in Prince An's courtyard. It can make people excited, but it's not harmful to him. Once he cultivates, he'll easily go mad!"
The Senseless Grass that Chu Li asked Yuan Kuohai to plant had already sprouted and was effective.
Under normal circumstances, it would have little effect on Prince An. However, if Prince An cultivated in the cauldron, there was a high chance that he would go mad!
If that did not work, then he would have to add fuel to the fire. He would be enraged and upset. When he enters the cauldron to cultivate, the two would overlap and the risk of going mad would be higher.
This was already the safest way to kill Prince An. However, it still depended on Prince An's luck. If he was really lucky, he would not die in a short time. If he was unlucky, he might die after one or two times.
Siao Shi said, "That's good …"
The two of them chatted for a while before Chu Li took her to Hundred-Thousand Hills for a stroll to relax.
As soon as the two stepped into the Spirit Cranes' peak, two white lights shot towards them. They were as fast as lightning and their long beaks were like swords.
Chu Li was helpless. He could only leave with Siao Shi. They could not be provoked now, and it was not suitable for them to interact. It was better to wait for the little Spirit Crane to come out.
These two Spirit Cranes were not easy to approach. The little Spirit Crane was different. It was the purest and should be easy to fool. If he could have a Spirit Crane as a pet, it would be wonderful!

The night passed. When everyone woke up the next day, Meng Zhi counted the number of people according to the usual routine and suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong! The number is wrong! "
Prince An frowned and looked at Meng Zhi.
Zheng Lide walked towards Meng Zhi, "Deputy Commander Meng, what happened?"
Meng Zhi's face was gloomy, "Commander, we're down four people!"
"Which four?" Zheng Lide scoffed. "Don't tell me they're from the House of High Dukes?"
Meng Zhi shook his head, "He belongs to our house! … It's four guards, Innate Masters! "
"That's impossible, right?" Zheng Lide frowned. "There was no movement last night! … Let them search. Form groups of four and don't split up! "
"Yes!" Meng Zhi cupped his fists.
He quickly organized his men and spread them out. He looked around.
"He's here!" someone shouted.
Meng Zhi hurriedly performed his Light Body Technique and sprinted over. When he saw the situation in the field, his expression changed drastically.
The four guards lay motionless on the ground, their bodies stiff. They had been dead for a long time.
He squatted down to take a look at the wound, and his expression became more and more ghastly. It was a one-hit kill. His swordsmanship was outstanding, but this person should be an Innate Master, not a Grandmaster!
An Innate Master sneaked up to them. He had killed four Protectors, but the few Grandmasters who were present did not notice anything at all. It was the biggest joke in the world!
"What happened?" Zheng Lide walked over too.
When he saw the four guards dead, his expression immediately darkened. After checking the wound, he came to the same conclusion as Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi whispered, "Commander, could it be the two from the House of High Dukes?"
He glanced at Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou who were standing by the palanquin, and said coldly, "Even if it's not them, they're definitely related!"
Zheng Lide shook his head, "I've been watching them last night, they didn't do anything. … There aren't many top-notch swordsmen like this in the martial arts world. Everyone, keep your spirits up, I'm afraid he'll continue to come! "
Meng Zhi sneered, "If he comes again, I'll make sure he can't go back!"
"We'll be on guard tonight!" Zheng Lide said, "It's a critical period now, it's nothing to endure for two days!"
"Yes," Meng Zhi nodded.
They were the wedding procession, so it was impossible for them to bring the corpses back. They could only bury them first, then plant a tree and come back to pay their respects.
That night, the two of them were on guard, one inside and one outside.
Zheng Lide sat next to Prince An, while Meng Zhi went to the outermost area and sat on a tree, overlooking the entire campsite, any movement could be seen clearly.
The night was calm and peaceful.
However, the next morning, when they did a headcount, they were missing two more Protectors.
The two were found in the forest a hundred meters away, and they were still killed with one slash.
Meng Zhi and Zheng Lide could be sure that the two of them did not doze off, they were always in a state of alertness, guarding with a clear mind. They did not notice anything strange, no martial arts masters barged in, and there were no external objects that distracted them.
They did not even notice when the two of them went out.
This made the two of them shudder, could it be the doing of a ghost?
Then they denied this absurd thought, there must be a reason for it.
They thought about it, the two Protectors probably went out to relieve themselves, then they were killed without a sound.
No matter how careful they were, if they wanted to relieve themselves, they couldn't do it in front of everyone, they had to walk a distance away to do it.
It was at this distance that they were killed by this swordsman without a sound, killed with one slash.
The two of them came in front of Prince An, their faces were gloomy.
Everyone's faces were a little gloomy, they were no longer as relaxed and joyous as before. Six people were killed consecutively, the atmosphere of the wedding procession became heavy.
"Your Highness, let's try to return to the Fairy's Capital tonight," Zheng Lide said.
Prince An looked at them calmly, "You can't find out who did it?"
"This fella's swordsmanship is extraordinarily high," Meng Zhi said helplessly. "Moreover, it's an Innate Master, very troublesome, it's not suitable to tangle with him here!"
"Extraordinarily high swordsmanship …" Prince An said lightly, "Is it Chu Li?"
"It shouldn't be Chief Chu." Zheng Lide frowned, "He doesn't need to kill these people, he should be venting his anger, it could be someone from the martial arts world."
If Chu Li wanted to kill, he would kill a Grandmaster, these Protectors were not even in his eyes, he was too lazy to kill them.
"We're a few Grandmasters, can't we handle an Innate Master?" Prince An said.
Zheng Lide sighed, "Killed with one slash, no need for a second slash, and without a sound, this fella is purely an assassin, this revenge must be avenged, but it's a big wedding now, it's better not to tangle with him!"
"… Stay for another night, let the two from the High Duke's Public House stand guard, if anyone goes out, let them accompany them!" Prince An pondered for a moment, then calmly ordered.
"… Yes," Zheng Lide closed fist saluted.
This move was to kill with a borrowed knife, using the people from the High Duke's Public House to kill the assassin, and also using the assassin to kill the people from the High Duke's Public House, it all depended on who was more powerful, but no matter who was more powerful, Prince An would benefit, this move was really admirable!
Zhao Qingshan and Lu Donglou listened to Zheng Lide's orders, they did not say much, they happily agreed.
If it was really a top-notch master, they would retreat, if it was not a top-notch master, they could just secretly let it go.
