Kill Yue Jinghua!! A gust of wind blew past, snuffing out the candles used for the wedding ceremony. Inside the Lie Family Mansion, it became a few shades darker. The icy words of Commander Xie were like a sharp blade scraping past the eardrums of everyone present. Each person had their own concerns, some visibly relieved, like Qin Gang; Yue Jinghua’s life or death had nothing to do with him. Take, for instance, the two elders of the Lie Family; in their view, every second the Residual Shadow Group stayed here was like a timed bomb ticking away seconds, uncertain when it would level Lie Family Mansion to the ground. Sacrificing Yue Jinghua in exchange for everyone’s safety, why wouldn’t they do it? When Fa Xiaoyi heard this demand, his thin lips involuntarily tightened a bit, and his eyes grew deeper. It was hard to guess what he was really thinking. Kill Huahua? Upon hearing these words, Lie Rou’s drunken state instantly sobered, her fuzzy mind suddenly cleared. Like a lioness protecting her cub, Lie Rou charged forward, attempting to grab Commander Xie, furiously shouting: "I won’t let you hurt Huahua! I will fight you to the death!" Qin Gang, worried she would get hurt, quickly pulled her back, constantly trying to calm her: "Lie Rou, have you gone mad?" "Whoever dares to hurt my child, I will fight them to the end," Lie Rou’s hair disheveled, as if a startled bird, she stepped back a few paces, swiftly scanning her surroundings. Hongling and Yue Chen were nowhere to be found; they must have gone to meet with Yue Jinghua and arranged for her to leave Polo City as instructed earlier. "Lady Lie, I won’t kill you, but don’t force me into a corner. Commander Xie never kills beyond the names listed by our clients, but your beloved Yue Jinghua is an exception. Her existence hinders Xie Yu’s cultivation and has offended the Thousand Hands Artisan. The Family Elder Council of the Ten Great Families has issued a Soul Chasing Order, and the personal guards under the Ten Great Killing Gods, as well as all the assassins listed in the Assassin Alliance’s records, whoever sees Yue Jinghua must kill her without mercy," Commander Xie said, not taking issue with Lie Rou’s impulsive outburst. He and Xie Yu grew up together since they were young. This time upon Xie Yu’s return, he was clearly different from before. When questioned about the failure of the last mission at the Dan Demon Tomb, Xie Yu maintained silence from beginning to end, willing to accept the Family Elder Council’s punishment and take on a significantly challenging task. All this, just to protect a woman named Yue Jinghua. Assassins are heartless; that is the iron rule. Assassins are not forbidden to marry and settle down, but as one of the heirs to the Ten Great Killing Gods, Xie Yu is forbidden from becoming emotionally involved. After obtaining this information, the Family Elder Council issued the Soul Chasing Order. Even if Commander Xie didn’t act, Yue Jinghua would find it nearly impossible to survive on the Eastern Continent. "So that’s how it is, once the Soul Chasing Order is issued, it’s as good as being dead," Qin Gang said with a mocking laugh. The Assassin Alliance’s Soul Chasing Order is like a cataclysmic beast; there was once a Dark Heavenly Master at the Peak on the continent who offended some big shot in the Assassin Alliance. Less than twenty-four hours after the Soul Chasing Order was issued, the celebrated Dark Heavenly Master was found dead on the streets, and no one even dared to retrieve his body. "Oh my, ugly brute, you’ve caused a mess. That Xie Yu is really something, to be so bewitched by your distinguished grace," the Meat Worm poked out its head, breathing in the fresh night air. It suddenly shuddered, only to see Yue Jinghua and Qing Pu both staring at it coldly. Without the power of insects, to tell the harsh truth was to be bullied by two. The Meat Worm wisely shut its mouth and stopped making a sound. "I’ve heard that Yue Jinghua is imprisoned in your country’s Heavenly Prison. I ask that Prince Fa hands her over," Xie San no longer offered an explanation. He had made an agreement with that person to leave the Lie Family Mansion within an hour and wait for the next act to unfold. He seemed convinced that Prince Fa would hand over Yue Jinghua. After all, to him, she was nothing more than an abandoned ex-fiancée. "Yue Jinghua is a serious criminal of Shang Kingdom and should be handled by Shang Kingdom," Fa Xiaoyi hesitated for a long time, nearly waiting 15 minutes before he finally answered firmly. "Prince!" Lady Yao took a step forward, trying to persuade Fa Xiaoyi, "The opponent is just a Pill Master whose level is yet to be determined. There’s no need to protect her; Danlu has plenty of people at Yue Jinghua’s level." "Shut up, since when does someone else dictate my decisions," Fa Xiaoyi rebuked angrily. For some reason, the thought of surrendering Yue Jinghua into someone else’s hands caused an unpleasant feeling in his heart. Fa Xiaoyi believed that, even if it meant torturing her or imprisoning her for life, Yue Jinghua’s fate should be in his own hands; others had no right to touch it. A hint of killing intent flashed through Xie San’s peach blossom eyes. "Prince, Commander Xie, please don’t be angry. In fact, Yue Jinghua has escaped from prison," seeing that the negotiations between the two parties had reached a deadlock, Qin Gang forced a smile and sobered himself with a thought inside. It was fortunate that Yue Jinghua had already fled. "Escaped?" "Escaped!" "She escaped." The expressions of Lie Rou, Xie San, and Fa Xiaoyi varied, each one showing excitement. "Yes, with the negligence of the Heavenly Prison, over an hour ago, Yue Jinghua escaped with the help of accomplices," Qin Gang had never felt so relieved before. Yue Jinghua’s timing for the escape was just perfect. "Shadow Department, immediately start a city-wide search for Yue Jinghua’s whereabouts. Remember, she possesses half a beautiful visage and half an ugly one, and is cunning by nature," Xie San believed that Yue Jinghua must still be in the city. Before he set off, the Assassin Alliance had already published all her detailed information. A woman who could easily deceive even Xie Yu was certainly no simple character. Although Xie San had not yet seen Yue Jinghua in person, he had already branded her in his heart. This woman, known as a failure, could possibly be the most cunning character the Assassin Alliance had ever encountered. "Hold on, no one is allowed to act recklessly," suddenly, Lie Rou, dressed in red, blocked the entrance to Lie Family Mansion without anyone noticing when she had appeared, "or else no one will be able to leave today." Her chest rising and falling sharply, she tore the bridal dress she was wearing, revealing the white lining inside, turning her bridal clothes into mourning clothes in an instant. Lie Rou’s beautiful face flickered with an unprecedented ferocity as she raised her hand high, her fingers shimmering with light, suggesting she wielded some kind of Hidden Weapon. Those were a few black Crystal Stones, which under the moonlight, refracted a faint glow. These Crystal Stones were given to Lie Rou by Hongling after Yue Jinghua was incarcerated, fearing that Lie Rou might be attacked by enemies. Yet, Hongling never imagined that at this moment, Lie Rou would bring out the Black Death Crystals. "Black Death Crystals?!" Yue Jinghua, on the wall, was shocked. How could the Black Death Crystals she gave to Hongling end up in Lie Rou’s hands, "This is bad, mother wants to perish together with them."
