Before they set off, the Holy Lord had clearly instructed them to lead the assassins to The Emperor of Jin, so as to sow discord between the Emperor of Li and The Emperor of Jin. Only then would the true mastermind be able to reap the benefits.
But because he had carelessly said the wrong thing, he had first betrayed the Holy Lord, then betrayed the mastermind. He wished he could bite his tongue and commit suicide.
"The Emperor of Li, that's not what I meant. The one who wants to kill you is The Emperor of Jin. It's … it's The Emperor of Jin who sent people to bribe our Holy Lord. If you want to find … find The Emperor of Jin. Don't find anyone else …" The black-robed leader tried his best to hold his breath, wanting to cover up the lie for the true mastermind. He wanted to frame the murderer as The Emperor of Jin and complete the Holy Lord's orders.
Unfortunately, Chu Xuanchen looked at him mockingly. "The Emperor of Jin isn't someone who bribed your Holy Lord. Don't worry, when Wang recovers, Wang will personally flatten Sheng Ling Palace and kill your Holy Lord and the mastermind."
"Chu Xuanchen, you …" The black-robed leader was so angry that his eyes widened. Just as he was about to continue cursing, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and died of anger.
His death was very ugly. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he died with remaining grievances.
With his death, Yun Ruoyue's heart finally calmed down. She looked around at the desolate surroundings and the pitch-black mountains. When she heard the whimpering sound of the wind, she immediately shivered. "Chu Xuanchen, since he's already dead, let's hurry back to the manor. What if another assassin comes?"
If another assassin came, then they would really be finished.
After she finished speaking, she realized that Chu Xuanchen was ignoring her. She quickly looked down and realized that Chu Xuanchen had also fainted.
She hurriedly threw herself at him. "Chu Xuanchen, what's wrong? Why did you faint? "
Heavens! She was in the middle of nowhere, and there were a few pitch-black corpses beside her. Were they trying to scare her to death?
Chu Xuanchen must have fainted because of excessive blood loss. No, she had to save him quickly. If she was late, he would die.

Yun Ruoyue looked around and found that other than the corpses on the ground, there was only their carriage and the horse that pulled it.
During the fight just now, the killers did not hurt the horse, so the horse was only a little frightened. Now it was leisurely eating grass. It had probably recovered from the shock.
Yun Ruoyue hurriedly walked over and put the horse back on the carriage. She turned back, gritted her teeth, and helped Chu Xuanchen up.
But when she tried to support him, she realized that Chu Xuanchen was very heavy, like a thousand pounds of iron. She couldn't support him at all.
This time, she was a little flustered. If they didn't return to the prince's estate, it would be very dangerous here.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and put one of Chu Xuanchen's arms on her shoulder. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she forcefully helped Chu Xuanchen up.
Then, she gritted her teeth and helped him step by step towards the carriage.
Along the way, she gritted her teeth so hard that they made a gurgling sound. Even if her shoulder was sore and about to break, she still forced herself to endure.
Every step she took was like a giant bear stepping on the ground, causing the ground to shake.
Finally, she used all her strength to help Chu Xuanchen onto the carriage.
Then, she took out bandages and gauze from her cloth bag and temporarily stopped Chu Xuanchen's bleeding.
Once the bleeding was stopped, she casually wiped the sweat from her face and sat at the front of the carriage. She pulled the reins and sternly said, "Go!"
Very quickly, the carriage began to gallop on the official road. With every step, Yun Ruoyue looked fearfully at the dark forest behind her. The forest was empty and pitch-black, scaring her to the point that she thought there was a ghost following her.
