At this moment, standing on the back of the Phoenix, Luo Bingbing had basically nothing to do. With the attacks from the Witch Clan members gone, Shu Yitian Jiao could only watch the show from the back of the Phoenix.
As she watched, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind—it was the Snow Spirit Fox. Upon hearing the secret transmission from the Snow Spirit Fox, she quickly replied, "Little one, where are you now?"
The Snow Spirit Fox hurriedly answered, "Master, I am currently in your palace. I was captured by those Witch Clan members, and they took me back to the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace. I found an opportunity to escape, but they have already destroyed a large part of the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace and killed Prince Yu Dongfang Yu."
Hearing that the Snow Spirit Fox was safe but that Dongfang Yu had been killed made Luo Bingbing very happy. However, when she learned that her own palace had been largely destroyed by these Witch Clan members, her anger surged.
Filled with rage, she ordered the Phoenix to burn all those Witch Clan members to death and then incinerate everything in that paradise, leaving not a single blade of grass or tree standing.
After giving her orders to the Phoenix, Luo Bingbing flashed away from the paradise and checked the surrounding forest. Confirming that Mink and the others had left that area, she then teleported to the entrance of the barrier and quietly waited for the Phoenix to emerge.
She waited leisurely for the Phoenix while Mink and the Tiger Legion members were desperately fleeing!
They had been running continuously, with a pack of wolves relentlessly pursuing them.
However, there were now thousands of wild wolves trailing behind them, and their numbers continued to grow.
Seeing that large group of wild wolves behind her made Mink feel a headache. If it were just her alone, she would definitely be able to shake off those wild wolves.
But now it wasn't just her; there were more than twenty other members of the Tiger Legion with her, and she couldn't abandon them.
At this point, they had run several ten miles. Everyone wanted to stop and rest for a moment, but they couldn't afford to stop. As soon as they slowed down even slightly, they would be caught by the pack of wolves behind them.
As they ran, Mink suddenly spotted a military camp stationed at the foot of a mountain across from them, with hundreds of soldiers. The flag displayed a character that read "Hao."
Upon seeing that character "Hao," Mink knew that those soldiers were from Haotian Kingdom.
Thinking of the previous assassination attempts on Hao Tian and that her master was now targeting the Haotian Kingdom, she couldn't help but devise a plan.
After a slight smile, she said to the people around her, "I know everyone is tired and hungry, and you all want to take a break. However, if you can just hold on a little longer and follow me for a bit, we can soon shake off those wild wolves behind us."
Upon hearing her words, the crowd looked puzzled and began to ask her, "Boss, have you thought of some clever trick?"
"Tell us about it!"
"…"
After gently nodding, Mink pointed to the military camp at the foot of the mountain across from them and said, "Look over there; isn't there a military camp at the foot of the mountain? If we can lead the wolf pack there, not only can we shake them off, but we can also find food to fill our stomachs. Plus, we won't have to walk; we can ride their horses directly."
The crowd responded enthusiastically, "Brilliant! The boss is truly brilliant; this is a great deal."
"Alright, enough chatter. Let's run along this path and charge straight into their military camp."
With that, she led the members of the Tiger Legion toward the military camp at the foot of the mountain. Naturally, the wolf pack followed closely behind them.
As night was about to fall, the soldiers who had just finished training were currently having their dinner.
Just as they began their meal, they suddenly felt the ground shaking as if thousands of horses were rushing in. Soon after, they heard sharp wolf howls echoing from the nearby mountain.
Instantly, panic set in as they shouted, "Wolves! The wolves are coming..."
While those soldiers were restless, the Centurion of the camp stepped out of his main tent.
He was quite burly, with a round face and big ears that gave him a fierce appearance, making it clear at first glance that he was a very intimidating person.
After coldly scanning the soldiers, he shouted at them, "What are you making noise about? You haven't even figured out the situation and you're all panicking here. Look at yourselves; do any of you even look like soldiers?"
After a brief pause, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, do we really fear those beasts with over a hundred of us here?"
At that moment, he thought that even if wolves came, there shouldn't be many of them, and with their numbers, they could handle it.
However, the foolish and arrogant man did not realize that Mink had brought with him a massive Wild Wolf Pack consisting of thousands of wild wolves, which was far beyond what they could contend with.
Because of the Centurion, those soldiers who wanted to flee stayed put, but their hearts were uneasy; after all, their courage was nowhere near that of their Centurion.
Just as they were filled with anxiety and fear, Mink suddenly appeared before them along with members of the Tiger Legion.
They were stunned to see Mink and the other members of the Tiger Legion, along with three fierce tigers. They were frozen in place.
As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers," yet they were witnessing three tigers coexisting closely together and interacting harmoniously with humans.
This was beyond reason and their understanding; it was the first time they had seen something like this, so it was no wonder they displayed such astonished expressions.
But Mink paid no attention to the soldiers' reactions and walked straight towards them.
Upon receiving the news, the Centurion hurried out and pointed at Mink and the members of the Tiger Legion, saying, "Who are you? Why are you trying to trick us into thinking wild wolves have come?"
He still believed that Mink and his group were deliberately trying to deceive them!
Mink After hearing his question, they ignored him and quickly ran towards the group of soldiers. The Centurion, seeing that they did not regard him, became very angry and ordered the soldiers to capture them.
Little did he know, this was exactly what Mink and the others wanted. Their purpose in approaching the soldiers was to snatch the water bottles from their waists. Now that the soldiers were coming closer to them, it became even easier for them to grab the bottles.
Not only that, but they also stole the soldiers' food bags, and some even took the flatbreads and buns that the soldiers were eating.
In short, when they saw what they needed, Mink and his companions simply took it.
As for the soldiers' attacks, they easily dodged them; perhaps this was a demonstration of their strength.
The Centurion, seeing this, had someone fetch his bow and arrows. He drew his bow and shot directly at Mink and his group. To be fair, his aim and strength were top-notch.
Except for Mink, other members of the Tiger Legion had to put in some effort to avoid his arrows.
When the Centurion saw that Mink and his companions could dodge his arrows, he became extremely furious and focused on the three tigers.
Tigers are not human; they are just beasts. No matter how fast they react, they cannot match human intelligence. Thus, they quickly fell victim to the Centurion's hidden arrows.
The owners of the three tigers were infuriated upon seeing their beloved pets shot dead by the Centurion. They all rushed towards him.
However, there were many soldiers surrounding him, making it impossible for them to approach him all at once. They had to deal with the soldiers around him first before getting close enough to take revenge for their three tigers.
At this point, Mink and his companions had already managed to grab quite a few water bottles and food bags.
Seeing that the three individuals had not yet dealt with the Centurion, she suddenly leaped into the air and directly charged towards him.
With a direct strike to the Centurion's crown, he was caught off guard and instantly sent to the Yama King's Hall.
After striking the Centurion, Mink immediately put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, signaling the members of the Tiger Legion to retreat quickly.
Upon hearing the retreat signal, they hurried back to the stables in the military camp, swiftly cutting the reins of the horses.
Everyone shook slightly and skillfully mounted their horses. With a squeeze of their legs, the steeds galloped forward like the wind. In just a few blinks, they disappeared down the mountain path.
Following Mink's commotion, not only were there no officers left in the military camp, but chaos also ensued within.
However, before the soldiers could catch their breath, a pack of wolves came howling fiercely. Seeing the approaching Wild Wolf Pack, the soldiers panicked.
Some shouted, "The Wild Wolf Pack is here! Run for your lives!" Others rushed to the stables to fetch horses, but those horses were already spooked and wouldn't heed their calls.
"Awoo..."
As the howls of wolves echoed around them, the soldiers scattered in all directions, instantly turning into a chaotic mess.
In the military camp, cries of despair rang out continuously as countless Emeralds jumped and surged about, flashing with dazzling light.
In the dim night, over twenty steeds suddenly appeared on the mountain path, each carrying a rider.
Indeed, these were Mink and his companions who had just escaped from the jaws of the wolves.
They rode at full speed and only stopped to rest after covering more than sixty miles. The first thing they did upon stopping was to fill their empty stomachs with the water, dry rations, flatbreads, and steamed buns they had seized.
After a satisfying meal, they went to rest under the large trees nearby. After running for so long, they were already tired. As it was getting late, they decided to rest for the night and continue their journey at dawn.
Luo Bingbing waited for a while at the entrance of the dark barrier before the Phoenix emerged.
Then, she used her ability to teleport back to the temple with the Phoenix. Upon returning to the temple, she immediately instructed her attendants to pack up and hurriedly took the Nursemaid and others back to the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace.
Since the Witch Clan had destroyed half of the Silver Moon Kingdom's palace during the day, the people of Silver City were already aware of the news about the significant damage to the palace.
When Luo Bingbing arrived at the gates of the Silver Moon Kingdom Palace, many officials who had received the news gathered there, waiting for her arrival.
"Greetings, Empress. Long live Your Majesty!" The ministers had just finished bowing to Luo Bingbing when a Snow Spirit Fox suddenly dashed out from inside the palace and quickly leaped into Luo Bingbing's arms.
After petting the Snow Spirit Fox in her arms, Luo Bingbing addressed the ministers, "You may rise. I rushed back as soon as I heard the report."
As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid hurriedly ran out from inside the palace.
She knelt directly in front of Luo Bingbing and said, "Empress, it's terrible! The Empress Dowager has fainted."
"What happened?" Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and asked.
"In response to Your Majesty, upon hearing that Prince Yu was severely injured, the Empress Dowager hurriedly left Yichan Palace to see Prince Yu. However, as soon as she saw him, she suddenly fainted."
Although Luo Bingbing already knew that Dongfang Yu had returned and was plotting to usurp power, she still needed to continue playing her part for now. Otherwise, it would be difficult to expose Dongfang Yu's conspiracy.
"How dare you speak such nonsense! I have not received any news that Prince Yu has returned to the palace. Why are you making baseless claims?"
"I do not dare, what I said is the truth. I ask for Your Majesty's discernment."
"In that case, take me to see Prince Yu and the Empress Dowager!"
"Yes, I obey. Please follow me, Your Highness." The palace maid said as she gestured for Luo Bingbing to proceed.
Thus, Luo Bingbing followed her to meet Dongfang Yu and the Empress Dowager, and naturally, the ministers followed closely behind.
Upon entering, everyone saw that the once magnificent palace had now turned into a significant ruin. Looking at the devastation, everyone couldn't help but furrow their brows.
After walking for a while, they saw a large group of palace maids and eunuchs anxiously surrounding the Empress Dowager, while a man in a Dragon Robe lay beside her.
Seeing that the man was wearing a bright yellow Dragon Robe, everyone was astonished and thought to themselves, "Prince Yu is trying to usurp the throne!"
As a result, whispers began to spread among the crowd.
Luo Bingbing noticed that she had achieved the desired effect and immediately ordered someone to summon the imperial physician. She then addressed the ministers behind her, saying, "This matter will be thoroughly investigated by me. As night has fallen, you all should return and rest. Tomorrow morning during court, I will make a decision."
