The restless crowd surged, and the air was filled with Mysterious Energy. Those with lower cultivation levels had long since fled; not everyone could afford to witness such chaos.
In this turmoil, Ouyang Zixin found it easier to pinpoint the person who had thrown a flying knife at her.
This individual was incredibly bold; after missing their first strike, they did not retreat but instead waited for a second chance.
Ouyang Zixin sneered. Indeed, such chaos was rare, and if the opportunity was missed, it would not be so easy to strike at her again.
"You go find Zhao Qing, understood? Bring him to me," she ordered her shadow guard.
The shadow guard hesitated. At this moment, he should prioritize protecting the princess's retreat rather than leaving to carry out a mission. However, Master had instructed him that his mistress's orders were his commands.
"Yes." Ultimately, he decided to obey.
After all, there should still be other shadow guards present who had not revealed themselves. He was simply the closest one, which is why he acted.
At that level of skill, if it were Master, not a single shadow guard would have exposed themselves.
With the shadow guard gone, only Liu Lvy remained by Ouyang Zixin's side. The two scanned their surroundings warily. "Where's Liu Ying?"
"She was just standing below the high platform; now... it's too chaotic to see anyone," Liu Lvy replied, unsure of Liu Ying's whereabouts.
"Forget it. The person who ambushed me earlier is Zhao Feiyu's brother." Ouyang Zixin frowned. Logically speaking, members of the Zhao Family shouldn't have attacked her. Could it be that he still held a grudge over being teleported out of the Millennium Ruins? Did he think she had ruined his Fortune Day?
Another sound of slicing through the air!
Was he really attacking again?
Before Liu Lvy could react, Ouyang Zixin pulled her down sharply, and they both ducked just in time to avoid the flying knife. The blade whizzed overhead, and a few strands of hair floated down slowly before being blown away in an instant.
"Miss, let me handle this," Liu Lvy said angrily. This person had quite a nerve to repeatedly ambush the young lady.
Ouyang Zixin shook her head. It was not easy to get close to Zhao Feihong with the crowd surging; in fact, it might alert him. She decided to wait!
She would wait until the Shadow Guard brought Zhao Qing over.
She didn't believe that Zhao Feihong wouldn't be cautious.
When Ouyang Zixin appeared in the arena, Yun Tianmo had already noticed her, but he couldn't leave. If he did, Nan Gong Yao would surely join forces with Nangong Tuo to kill Ning Zhiyuan. The Nangong Family could not tolerate the existence of Ning Zhiyuan, who bore the same appearance as Nangong Tuo.
It wasn't until he saw the Shadow Guard appear that Yun Tianmo finally relaxed. Almost simultaneously, he locked onto the person who attempted to ambush Ouyang Zixin.
Zhao Feihong?!
Hmph, before I could find you, you came knocking on my door.
Yun Tianmo wanted to send a message to Yun Tianying, instructing him to protect Ouyang Zixin, but he realized that Yun Tianying had mysteriously vanished.

“Seventh Prince?”
The guard was taken aback as he saw Yun Tianying walking over. At this moment, all royal family members had gone to the Duel Arena. Why was the Cloud Nation Seventh Prince coming to the palace instead?
Yun Tianying smiled gently, showing no hint of royal arrogance. As he approached, he softly said, “What’s so interesting about fighting and killing? I asked for a favor from the Sovereign to visit the garden of Leaving the Royal Palace.”
In recent days, it was no secret that Yun Tianying had been coming in and out of the palace, so the guard didn’t think much of it and let him pass.
“Does the prince also enjoy visiting gardens? Isn’t that something only princesses like?” The guard scratched his head.
“Hey, what do you know? Our garden in Leaving the Royal Palace has a princess in it.”
“Right! Haha, so your intentions are not just about enjoying the scenery.” The guard suddenly understood and chuckled before continuing to guard the palace gate.
Yun Tianying listened to the discussions behind him, revealing a faint smile. He never expected that his Eye Technique had improved even further after the poison was dispelled.
Unfortunately, the guards' guesses were incorrect; he was not here for some "princess" in the garden, but rather for her father.
Bai Zhan was imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace. For an ordinary person, finding the dungeon might not be easy, but Yun Tianying was different. He possessed the Eye Technique and quickly arrived at the dungeon door where Bai Zhan was held, guided by the guards.
"Tsk tsk, how hidden this place is." Looking at the artificial hills and bridges before him, who would have thought that a dungeon would be located in such a picturesque area?
Yun Tianying was not there to admire the scenery; he pushed open the dungeon door and stepped inside.
"Who? Who is it? Let me out!"
Inside the dungeon, it seemed that Bai Zhan was the only prisoner; there wasn't even a guard present.
Bai Zhan lay disheveled against the bars of his cell, shouting loudly. When he finally saw who had entered, his pupils constricted sharply, and he trembled all over. "You... how could it be you?"
It wasn't that Bai Zhan was so terrified of anyone in particular; it just happened to be Yun Tianying.
"Elder Bai, what's wrong? Are you unwilling to see me, or... are you unwilling to die too soon?" Though Yun Tianying's tone was usually gentle, it now carried an icy coldness as he looked at Bai Zhan as if he were staring at a dead man.
Bai Zhan's throat rolled up and down, making choking sounds as he crawled backward into his cell, completely losing the earlier determination to escape.
The light in the dungeon was dim, and hidden in the shadows, Bai Zhan muttered to himself. No matter what Yun Tianying said, he refused to respond.
"Hmph, do you think I wouldn't know just because you won't say anything?" Yun Tianying was not there to ask questions; he had come to take a life.
"The Bai Clan has such audacity to dare act against the royal family. Did you have intentions of usurping power back then?"
"No, no! It wasn't us!" Bai Zhan shook his head frantically. He could not admit anything; he couldn't say a word. Otherwise, he would truly be facing death.
"Not you? Is this poison I bear not unique to your Bai Clan?" Yun Tianying closed his eyes as if the pain endured over the years surged back upon him. "Your denial is merely out of fear of death. A person like you is unworthy of being clan leader."
The clan leader should be someone like Father!
The clan leader should be someone like Mo!
Not him, not Bai Zhan, not a dog of a lost family like Bai Zhan!
Recalling how he was poisoned by such a person back then, Yun Tianying couldn't help but show a mocking smile. Well, let's just say he was too young and powerless to resist at that time.
Now that he has grown up, since Mo wants to change the plan and unleash a massacre, he will personally take Bai Zhan's life.
Clang—
The chains locking the door fell to the ground. Bai Zhan looked over at the sound, and Yun Tianying bent down and entered the cell, walking towards him.
"No, no, it's not me! I was being used... listen to me..." Gulping, Bai Zhan swallowed hard. "That person, that person is..."
Suddenly, Bai Zhan's eyes widened, and his words came to an abrupt halt.
Yun Tianying turned around sharply, but there was no one there.
Looking back at Bai Zhan, he was dead.
(To be continued.)
