However, from their movements, it was clear that the five men in black acted in perfect unison and with great discipline, as if they had undergone specialized training.
The five of them continuously moved through the royal residence, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards, and quickly infiltrated the Piaoyun Pavilion.
Their target was the same as that of the shadow from earlier: Luo Bingbing's room.
Since the shadow had entered Piaoyun Pavilion first, he had already made his way into Luo Bingbing's room.
Upon seeing the empty bed and the cool blankets, realizing there was no one in the room, he intended to retreat.
However, before he could make his escape, five men in black entered from outside. Upon seeing them, he mistakenly thought he had been discovered by someone from Prince Luo's Residence.
Thus, with a mindset of quick resolution, he launched a fierce attack against the five men in black, hoping to eliminate them swiftly and escape.
As soon as the five men in black entered the target's room, they saw only a man dressed in black. Without hesitation, they unleashed their lethal moves, each more vicious than the last.
Although the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate was a first-class assassin from Thousand Gold Gate and possessed considerable skills, his fierce attacks had no effect on the five men before him.
It wasn't that his attacks missed; rather, they simply did not affect them at all.
His sword struck true against the five men in black, and while they were all somewhat injured, it seemed as though they felt no pain at all and continued their relentless assault without any reduction in speed.
Gradually, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate realized that these five men were not ordinary individuals but rather specially trained Death Warriors.
He assumed that these Black-clad Assassins were from Prince Luo's Residence, unaware that they were not affiliated with Prince Luo's Residence at all and that their objectives were aligned with his own.
Needless to say, these Black-clad Assassins were sent by General Lan.
The Death Warriors were all trained by him, and his order to the five Black-clad Assassins was to kill everyone in Luo Bingbing's room, not stopping until they achieved their goal.
As a result, the fight among the six in Luo Bingbing's room grew increasingly intense, with the sounds and commotion escalating as well.
Naturally, the first to hear them was Xuan Ye, the one with the highest martial arts skills, followed by the Snow Spirit Elder. Upon hearing that someone had infiltrated Piaoyun Pavilion, they did not immediately rise.
However, when they learned that the intruders' target was Luo Bingbing's room, they quickly got up and headed over.
They quietly crept onto the roof of Luo Bingbing's room and gently lifted a tile. When they saw that the Little One was not in the room, both of them couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly.
After exchanging glances, they silently observed the two groups of intruders performing their act inside the room.
Suddenly, they heard the voice of the Nursemaid.
The Nursemaid called out loudly from next door, “Little Princess, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Upon hearing the Nursemaid's voice, the Black-clad Assassins and The Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate, who were fighting for their lives in the room, immediately launched hidden weapons towards her location.
In this critical moment, Xuan Ye on the roof quickly picked up a tile and shattered it with his internal energy, breaking it into several pieces that scattered throughout the room, instantly forming a formation.
Needless to say, their usually accurate hidden weapons missed entirely.
The Nursemaid, lacking martial arts skills and unaware of the impending danger, was oblivious to what was happening above her. Meanwhile, two great masters were on the roof, ensuring that all their thrown weapons missed their target and some even rebounded back.
Seeing those rebounding weapons startled The Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate, while the five Black-clad Assassins showed no reaction.
At that moment, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate realized that there were experts nearby, so he had to reassess the situation in his mind.
He continuously dodged the attacks from the five Black-clad Assassins, winking and signaling them to stop and focus on dealing with the experts outside.
However, the five Black-clad Assassins had received orders to eliminate any beings in the room, and the Death Warriors had mostly lost their original intentions, showing no capacity for thought.
Thus, they completely ignored the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate's signals and continued their fierce assault, not slowing down even a bit.
None of them realized they were trapped in this formation; if Xuan Ye did not dismantle it, they would never escape.
The Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate had been evading attacks, solely on the defensive. But gradually, even that became a problem. Eventually, he stopped merely defending and began to fight back fiercely.
The result was that the commotion they created grew louder and louder, attracting more and more people drawn by the noise.
The Nursemaid was unaware that she had already brushed against death; she kept shouting outside. Due to Xuan Ye setting up a formation outside the room, she could not find the door and kept circling around.
The Dark Guards and bodyguards in the palace naturally heard the noise and saw the Nursemaid pacing outside the Little Princess's room.
So they immediately reported to Lo An Lord.
Meanwhile, the Dark Guard stationed beside Luo Bingbing noticed the intruders as well. However, he did not reveal himself but quietly hid in a corner, observing the situation inside Piaoyun Pavilion.
Upon hearing the report from his guards, Lo An Lord quickly made his way to Piaoyun Pavilion.
When he arrived at the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion, he saw his grandmother shouting outside his Beloved Daughter's room. Seeing this made him quicken his pace significantly.
He hurriedly walked towards the Nursemaid, and as he did, a sudden thought struck him.
The Nursemaid had been shouting outside the door for quite some time, yet there was no response from the Little One inside. Was it possible that the Little One had been captured, or had they gone to practice in the Purple Bamboo Forest outside Back Mountain and were simply not in the palace?
As the saying goes, "Better safe than sorry." To eliminate any lingering doubts, he quickly ran over and joined the Nursemaid in calling out at the door.
On the roof, Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder noticed that even Lo An Lord was shouting below, so they quickly flew down. They reassured Lo An Lord and the others, saying, "Don't worry! The child has long since left; they are not in Prince Luo's Residence at all."
The Nursemaid and Lo An Lord were startled by the sudden appearance of Snow Spirit Elder and Xuan Ye, but when they heard that Luo Bingbing was not in the palace, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that both of them had calmed down, Snow Spirit Elder slowly began to explain the situation inside the room.
At the same time, Xuan Ye added, "I have set up a formation around the room; they cannot get out or see us. We just need to stay outside."
Soon after, Poet Sage Li Jingshan and Strategist Gongsun Ming arrived.
Thus, the five skilled fighters went up to the roof under the pretense of having a better view of the show, while Lo An Lord sent the Nursemaid off to rest.
Gradually, those inside the formation began to collapse.
At that moment, Xuan Ye dispelled the formation. When Lo An Lord saw that Xuan Ye had released it, he called for the guards in the palace to enter the room and capture them.
Since all six inside were injured to varying degrees and quite severely at that, even their usual prowess was no match for those guards who were only moderately skilled.
Death Warriors typically do not think much; however, during their training, they were taught specific strategies for when captured: to commit suicide by poison.
Each of them had a pre-prepared deadly poison capsule hidden in their teeth. So, upon realizing they had been captured just like during training, they hurriedly extracted the poison from their gums, ready to take their own lives.
However, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate was quite clever. Although he knew he had been caught, he was constantly searching for an opportunity to escape.
Lo An Lord noticed their expressions and understood they intended to commit suicide. He quickly acted to seal their acupoints, rendering them immobile.
Once they were captured, Lo An Lord instructed the guards to take them to the hall of Piaoyun Pavilion for interrogation. He wanted to extract information about who their master was and who had sent them to assassinate his beloved daughter.
However, no matter how they interrogated or tortured them, the Killer of the Thousand Gold Gate and the five Black-clad Assassins remained silent, not revealing a single word about who had sent them.
Thus, they spent time idly in the hall.
At dawn, Luo Bingbing allowed the beggars to practice on their own and distributed their daily necessities and food before using her ability to teleport back to her room.
Upon returning, she found many servants tidying up her space, with the Nursemaid directing them.
Raising an eyebrow, she surveyed the room and realized it was in complete disarray; nothing was left intact.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling quite displeased.
The servants cleaning the room were completely unaware that their Little Princess had returned until they heard her voice nearby. Only then did they notice she was standing right there in the room.
The Little One coldly asked, "What is going on? Why has this Princess's room turned into this state?"
Upon hearing her voice, the Nursemaid quickly turned around. Seeing that it truly was her Little Princess, she hurriedly said to her, "Little Princess, it's so good to see you safe."
As she spoke, the Nursemaid paused briefly before continuing, "Late at night, assassins entered your room. They intended to harm you, but somehow, those assassins ended up fighting among themselves in your room. That's how it ended up like this."
Upon hearing the Nursemaid's words, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of her mouth and replied slowly, "Nursemaid, are you saying that many assassins came to This Princess's room tonight? Where are they now?"
"The lord had them taken to the hall, and right now, he and the elders are interrogating those assassins in the hall!" The Nursemaid quickly responded after hearing her Little Princess's question.
After listening to the Nursemaid, Luo Bingbing instructed, "Nursemaid, please tidy up the room here. I will go to the hall to take a look."
With that, Luo Bingbing swiftly turned and walked out without waiting for the Nursemaid's reply.
When Luo Bingbing arrived at the hall, she saw six bloodied bodies lying on the floor. Her so-called Lord Father was seated in the main seat of the hall, flanked by four others.
As soon as they spotted Luo Bingbing, they hurriedly greeted her. Poet Sage Li Jingshan stood up and walked towards her, bowing deeply when he reached her.
The Lo An Lord also rose from his seat; however, instead of bowing to the Little One, he walked over and embraced her, lifting her into his arms and sitting down with her in the main seat.
With a soft palanquin moving beneath her, there was no reason for her to refuse. So she let him carry her.
The Lo An Lord happily held his Beloved Daughter as he walked towards the main seat. Just as he sat down, he heard the Little One ask, "What happened?"
