Chapter 57: Assassin!

  Ling Meng Gong Zhu is the most favored imperial princess of the current emperor, always doted on like a precious gem. If Ling Meng Gong Zhu were to encounter an assassination attempt, heaven knows how furious and heartbroken the Emperor would be?

  How can these people endure the great wrath of His Imperial Majesty?

  Jun Mo Xie didn't have time to think much, the sedan chair of Ling Meng Gong Zhu had already arrived in front of him. The two palace maids standing in front saw Jun Mo Xie standing there stupidly and motionless, and couldn't help but reveal extremely disgusted expressions. They whispered a few words to the person inside the sedan chair.

  Someone inside the sedan said something, and suddenly stopped. The sedan curtain opened, a stunningly beautiful girl in a light yellow palace dress quietly showed her face, with a hint of impatience, yet still restrained herself to ask: "Jun Mo Xie, why are you blocking my way today?"

  Blocking your way? You're quite startled. Looking around, you realize that you are standing right in the middle of the road, and a large procession can't possibly make a detour for one person! Moreover, this is the princess's carriage, so it seems that you really have blocked her path, as they say!

  You only knew of the existence of Princess Ling Meng in Jun Mo Xie's memories, but this is the first time you've seen her in person. Today, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder Jun Mo Xie can't forget her - Princess Ling Meng is truly a heavenly fragrance and national beauty, a legendary beauty who has captivated the world!

  Her skin is fair and delicate, with curved eyebrows and eyes like two autumnal waters, clear and transparent to the bottom. Her face is shaped like a melon seed, her black hair cascades down like a waterfall, and her whole body exudes an air of noble purity, yet seems aloof and detached from worldly affairs, fresh and elegant, like a lotus flower emerging from the water, untainted by any impurities.

  "Your Highness, where are you headed?" It wasn't until now that Jun Xie realized that the majestic and grand buildings in front of them were already within the Imperial City. Princess Ling Meng had just exited the Imperial City, yet she was immediately followed by a group of assassins?

  What does this mean? It seems a bit too weird!

  Having thought this through, Jun Xie had an urge to leave immediately. Given the current situation of the Jun family, it was absolutely not suitable for them to get involved in the affairs of the imperial family. However, looking at the strength of Ling Meng Gongzhu's entourage, Jun Xie felt that the possibility of saving Ling Meng Gongzhu's life was extremely slim.

  Such a beauty, in the blink of an eye, may soon lose her life at the hands of assassins. Jun Xie felt it was a pity, but he didn't feel particularly reluctant to part with her. After all, now, preserving himself and his family was the most important thing.

  "Oh, I'm going to the Dugu estate to find Little Yi, Third Master Jun, please let me pass." The face of Princess Ling Meng was very calm. It turned out that Dugu Xiao Yi had been cheated by Jun Xie and lost a piece of Tianwai meteorite, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, rushing all the way to find her best sister, Princess Ling Meng, to complain. However, at that time, Princess Ling Meng was in the Empress Dowager's palace and did not see her.

  Ling Meng Gong Zhu returned to hear that her best sister was crying when she came and left, suddenly feeling tense in her heart, thinking that something big had happened. She hastily arranged for her departure, wanting to go to the Dugu family to see what was going on, how could this spoiled, lovely and clever younger sister be so heartbroken? But coincidentally met the culprit here: Jun Mo Xie.

  Of course, Ling Meng Gongzhu didn't know about it now, otherwise she might have tied this guy up and sent him to the Dugu family.

  Jun Ye currently has a strange feeling, on this princess's body, Jun Ye can't feel any overbearing and arrogant royal aura at all, but rather very gentle. This gentle temperament appearing on a member of the imperial family is quite unusual.

  "Yes, then Mo Xie won't disturb you anymore, Princess. Please go ahead." Jun Xie made up his mind to have one less thing rather than one more and left, but ultimately still casually reminded her of something, his eyes deeply fixed on hers as he said in a low voice: "Be careful on your way!"

  Actually, you have a strange feeling in your heart. According to the situation, as a noble princess like Ling Meng Gong Zhu, there should be many attendants and guards around her. Moreover, there shouldn't be any powerful masters among them! And yet, at this moment when their strength is the weakest, an assassin just happens to appear?

  Is there really such a coincidence in the world? The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is a huge dark secret hidden behind this!

  A gentleman does not stand under a precarious wall, and an excellent killer is even more likely to avoid places of trouble. He is absolutely not the kind of person who would sympathize with fragrant flowers and precious jade, let alone risk his life for it. He will certainly reject her outright, especially since she is a woman who fills him with disgust. Even if this woman were as beautiful as an angel from heaven, what's the use?

  Ling Meng Gongzhu looked at Jun Mo Xie with a hint of surprise, as she knew that this Jun San Shao Ye would always come up with some "sister, sister" nonsense whenever he saw her. But today, he was unusually well-behaved, which was truly rare. Although he retreated like this, it also saved both parties from an awkward confrontation, which could be considered a good thing.

  The princess retreated back into the sedan, and the pearl curtain was lowered once again. Now, as one looked over, a vague, infinitely beautiful figure appeared, like a dream, faintly visible.

  In the shadows, someone was speaking hastily: "Boss, that young master of your family, Jun Mo Xie, has suddenly appeared here. What to do? Should we wait for him to pass by before making a move, or..."

  A masked figure crouched on the rooftop, with golden glints flashing in his eyes: "You've come just in time, don't let this opportunity slip away, might as well take care of both at once! Let that old fool Jun Wanjun go crazy together with you, it's all good."

  "Yes!"

  Jun Xie retreated to the side, muttering to himself: "Even if it's a fragrant and beautiful woman, once she's dead, she'll still stink, and in the end, she'll just be a pile of dry bones and yellow earth. Jun Xie, you mustn't be soft-hearted, forcing your way out will only drag yourself down." He shook his head and was about to leave this place of trouble.

  At this moment, several cold and sinister auras had simultaneously locked onto Jun Xie!

  It's too late! Now I can't even escape. Jun Xie could feel the killing intent aimed at him growing thicker and more intense, how could he not know that these people had also put his name on their list of targets to be killed?

  What have I done to deserve this? This is a disaster! Who eats like that? I'm just a passerby!

  As the command "qi yu" was given, the convoy continued to move forward slowly. The guards at the front of the team also showed courtesy and bowed to Jun Xie before opening the way on horseback.

  At this moment, Princess Ling Meng was thinking about Jun Mo Xie's last sentence in the sedan. "Be careful on your way!" This sentence seemed a bit out of place. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Jun Mo Xie knew something? Was he giving her a subtle warning? Thinking of this, Princess Ling Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to order the sedan to stop so she could ask him again.

  At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened in an instant, and the endless night finally dominated the earth!

  As the night color dominated, several black-clad masked men descended from the sky like huge crows. Before they landed, dozens of black sharp arrows shot into the sedan chair with a whooshing sound. In mid-air, the gleaming sword lights and silver lights flashed with a mysterious aura, and swooped down.

  Continuous mournful cries rose, and dozens of guards who followed fell down in an instant when the black-clad man appeared. Several people with quick reactions shouted in unison: "Protect the princess!" They held swords and stood around the sedan chair, the sound of clashing swords and knives continued to rise, pedestrians on the street screamed and ran away in all directions.

  Two black-clad, masked figures descended from the rooftop and rushed straight towards Jun Xie. Judging by the dark energy aura on their bodies, they were two Silver-ranked cultivators! Such individuals were absolutely beyond Jun Xie's current abilities to handle, and they were assassins!
