At this moment, the remaining fifteen or sixteen wolves suddenly became organized.
Half of the wolves were in front, and half were behind...
This is bad. They are forming some kind of formation.
Xia Yuhan's heart tightened. She quickly rushed toward the only exit of the iron cage, shouting, "Open the door for me!"
As she ran, she yelled.
But soon her voice was completely drowned out by the collective howling of the wolves.
Outside the iron cage, Cang Yile received Xia Yuhan's distress signal and felt a surge of joy. He had waited so long for this moment.
Without hesitation, he flipped over and dashed toward the entrance of the cage, firmly guarding it. He would personally open it for Xia Yuhan when she got close.
“Xia Yuhan, be careful. These wolves seem to be planning something,” Cang Yile shouted, his voice audible to Xia Yuhan due to their proximity.
“I know. It seems like they are forming some kind of formation to attack me. Don't come over. Even if I die today, I will die fighting,” Xia Yuhan replied.
Cang Yile fell silent behind her.
He watched her delicate yet strong figure retreating rapidly within the iron cage, showing no signs of panic.
The soldiers surrounding the Iron Cage also fell silent. They held their breath and couldn't help but feel anxious for Xia Yuhan.
Suddenly, Cang Yile realized something was wrong. He sensed a shift in the situation and immediately shouted, “The wolves are attacking!”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Xia Yuhan could turn around, the front row of wolves suddenly leaped up and charged toward her with great momentum. In just five or six steps, they caught up with Yu Han.
This time, the wolves' attack was much more organized than before. They spread out and surrounded Xia Yuhan from all sides, launching an assault on her.
It looked nothing like a pack of wild wolves that had been raised freely.
"Who is controlling these wild wolves?" Xia Yuhan's furious shout made the onlookers exchange glances.
"What? Someone is secretly manipulating these wild wolves."
"That's impossible. Who has such great power?"
"Exactly. More and faster chapters can be found. After all, these wild wolves are bloodthirsty beasts. Who would dare to tame them?"
"I doubt it. Look at how these wild wolves are behaving compared to their previous attacks. It's clearly very different. Although wild wolves are clever, they are still beasts. Beasts don't understand formations or flanking attacks."
"That's a good point."
"Then does that mean today's Second Sister of Xia Manor is also going to meet her end in the wolves' belly?"
"…"
Everyone chimed in, discussing all possible scenarios. Since there were many people talking, no one held back, and the volume of the discussion was quite loud.
As a result, Jiang Tingyu and Cang Yile overheard what they were saying.
Especially Jiang Tingyu. His usually gentle eyes suddenly filled with extreme anger: "This is outrageous. How could there be such a terrifying person manipulating the wild wolves? If that's the case, Yu Han is in great danger."
The butler felt his throat tighten: "Yes. Look at those wild wolves in the back; they are clearly waiting for an opportunity. It's nothing like the previous two times when the wild wolves appeared. My lord, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait idly?"
Jiang Tingyu's eyes darkened: "We absolutely cannot allow these villains to act recklessly any longer. If someone is secretly controlling these wild wolves and we haven't noticed at all... According to the records, wild wolves have exceptionally good hearing. Could it be that the person controlling them is using sounds we can't hear?"
The butler was confused: "Huh? What does that mean? My lord, that can't be true. If we can't hear this sound, how can that person use it to control the wild wolves?"
Jiang Tingyu's eyes rapidly scanned around. Suddenly, he had a bright idea: "Jiang, regardless of whether it's through sound or not, we have to try something. Jiang, quickly beat the drum to disrupt the wild wolves' hearing."
"Yes, my lord." The butler immediately took off towards the large drum and began to beat it furiously and chaotically.
Sure enough. Due to the butler's interference, the wolves in the iron cage experienced a disruption in their hearing. When they could not receive their master's signal, the wolves that had originally circled around Xia Yuhan began to move chaotically. Moreover, the wolves' eyes also started to show brief moments of confusion.
When the butler deliberately refrained from beating the drum, those wolves suddenly revealed their ferocious gazes.
Jiang Tingyu's lips curled slightly. The coldness deep in his eyes was enough to make a millennium of ice feel even chillier: "Who is playing tricks on me? Controlling the wolves through sound? Remember, do not let me, Jiang Tingyu, find you."
If others remembered correctly, this was Jiang Tingyu's first time making such a fierce statement in front of a crowd.
At the moment he turned around, his anger could be sensed from three miles away.
"I am Jiang Tingyu. Do not let me find you; otherwise, you will not easily escape this place. Jiang, continue beating the drum."
The emperor was indeed shrewd. At this moment, he saw an opportunity to kill Xia Yuhan. Why would he not take advantage of it: "Alright, Right Chancellor. Do you still not regard me as your emperor? How dare you openly give orders in front of me?"
"Your Majesty, Jiang Tingyu respects you deeply. However, at this moment, I must stand up and speak for justice. This is about taming the wolves, not being persecuted by them. It is certainly not about escaping from their claws. Moreover, it has been difficult for someone to hold on until now, only to lose their life because someone is secretly manipulating these wolves. If such news spreads, it will only bring harm to my Azure Dragon Kingdom."
"Moreover, it is likely that public sentiment will become unstable. How long can a country endure internal strife and external threats?"
Every word from Jiang Tingyu resonated powerfully. The emperor had no retort. It seemed that those who wished to kill Xia Yuhan could not seize this opportunity.
Xia Yuhan, who had been fighting against the wolves below the stage, seemed to have realized something.
Controlling through sound.
That must be a whistle.
Only a whistle can emit frequencies of varying lengths that are inaudible to human ears but can be heard by wolves.
Xia Yuhan suddenly recalled Evil Master Zhangmen giving her an inconspicuous whistle.
She felt ecstatic and quickly found an opportunity to pull the whistle out from her sleeve. Just then, the drumming stopped. Xia Yuhan blew the whistle, and a clear sound echoed throughout the entire hunting ground.
The wild wolves seemed to be affected by the whistle as well. They stopped their attack.
Xia Yuhan tried blowing the whistle again. In an instant, the wild wolves crazily lunged at her with ferocity.
There was no choice. Xia Yuhan quickly blew the whistle once more. The fierce wild wolves suddenly became docile again.
This was simply terrifying.
Seeing this situation, Xia Yuhan hurriedly seized the opportunity and rushed toward the entrance. While running, she continued to blow the whistle at that frequency. This was how she managed to sprint to the entrance of the iron cage.
However, in a moment of negligence, just after she finished blowing the whistle, the wild wolves launched another attack on her.
The wolves in front quickly pounced forward, and those behind followed closely. As they caught up with the wolves in front, one suddenly leaped into the air, using its front paws to push off the wolf ahead, then soared toward Xia Yuhan with its gaping jaws wide open.
Cang Yile, who was guarding near the cage, quickly opened the entrance. With his fastest speed ever, he pulled Xia Yuhan inside the cage and instantly secured the door tightly.
As a result, those wolves that lunged forward crashed violently against the iron cage...
The moment Xia Yuhan emerged from the Iron Cage, she collapsed onto the ground, completely drained of energy and unable to get up.
But she knew that things were far from over. There were still many things she needed to do. She couldn't just let herself fall asleep like this.
Cang Yile quickly helped Xia Yuhan up from the ground: "Yu Han, can you still walk?"
She found it difficult to even speak and merely nodded symbolically.
"Alright. Since that's the case, this King will help you up. Just endure a little longer."
After being rescued, Xia Yuhan felt incredibly heavy all over. Even a single hair on her body felt burdensome. She sensed that her stamina had been depleted too much; if she fell asleep now, she feared she might never wake up again.
In her dazed state, she vaguely felt a pair of strong hands cradling her in their palms, protecting her gently. However, she couldn't see that person's face; she could only rely on her feelings as her body slowly straightened up and then stood tall.
She was able to wake up in a daze and murmured, "Thanks to you, my lord..."
After finishing this sentence softly, Xia Yuhan felt all her strength had been drained.
"Yu Han, don't talk. Conserve your energy. There are still things you need to do. Even if you've finished, you can't just fall asleep like this. Absolutely not."
Xia Yuhan was supported by Cang Yile as they moved along. Everywhere they went, those passing by looked at Xia Yuhan with genuine admiration.
At this moment, Xia Yuhan was seen as a great hero in their eyes.
Not only had she won this competition, but she had also put pressure on both the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom. By achieving victory solely as a woman, she would undoubtedly dampen the morale of both nations.
Although she ultimately did not tame those wild wolves, compared to the other two nations, she at least returned alive with the yellow flag.
However, the people from the other two nations did not see it that way. Without taming those wild wolves, they did not consider it a true victory. Although they had already accepted their defeat in their hearts, they did not want to return home with such a result on the surface.
As Xia Yuhan passed by the envoys of the Northern Kingdom and Southern Kingdom, she pushed Cang Yile aside and took out the whistle tightly gripped in her hand. She blew gently; although it did not make much noise, the wild wolves inside the Iron Cage clearly reacted.
