Chapter 116 Ambush (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
Wuling City East District.

An exquisitely decorated carriage drove in front of the Dongcheng Yamen.

After the carriage stopped, a cute little maid got out of the carriage, came to the gate of the yamen, and bowed to the officer at the door.

“Big brother, please inform everyone in Xiaoyuan that I want to see Lord Su.”

The guards at the door were dizzy when a delicate little maid called them “Big Brother”. When they heard that there was a famous person in the carriage, they were even more flattered.

“Um–Lord Su is not at home. How about we come back another day?”

The officer scratched his head and spoke.

“Not here again?”

The little maid was stunned for a moment and muttered helplessly.

It was like this when I was in Nancheng District. Now that I’m in Dongcheng District, why is it still so busy that I can’t find anyone there all day?

What a man like the wind.

“Master Su has been ordered to go out of the city to wipe out the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect. He will be back in a few days. When the time comes, I will definitely inform you of my visit.”

The officer spoke, secretly admiring in his heart, he really is worthy of being Lord Su, even someone who is said to be worth a fortune came to his door on his own initiative.

“Xiao Ping, come back. Since Master Su is not here, we will visit him another day.”

A voice came from the carriage, the voice was as clear and pleasant as the early morning song of an oriole.

The guard at the door felt his bones go soft and he sighed inwardly, thinking that the voice was so beautiful, the lady must be so beautiful.

The little maid responded, jumped back onto the carriage, and waved to the officer, “Goodbye, big brother.”

The officer also waved his hand subconsciously, and watched the carriage disappear at the end of the long street before he withdrew his gaze with a lingering feeling.

He will definitely not have the chance to meet Xiang Dajia in this life, but being able to hear Xiang Dajia’s voice will allow him to brag about it for a few days.

…………

“Miss, shall we go back to the inner city?”

Inside the carriage, the little maid asked Xiaoyuan.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was dressed up carefully, in a white dress and with a simple jade hairpin in her hair. She looked like a lotus emerging from water.

She frowned and shook her head slightly, “Let’s not go back to the inner city yet, let’s go somewhere.”

She gave an address, and although the maid was a little confused, she still went out and told the coachman.

Not long after, a figure quietly climbed in from the window of a private room in a restaurant.

“Miss, why are you in such a hurry to find me? It’s very dangerous for you to come to the outer city in broad daylight. If people notice our relationship, we will be in big trouble.”

Shi Ziran glanced at the private room vigilantly, then came to Xiang Xiaoyuan and whispered.

“You should leave a signal, and I will find a way to meet you at night.”

“Uncle Shi, I have something urgent to do.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan said, “I came to the outer city for a legitimate reason. No one will suspect anything if I have a meal here.”

“Well, miss, what are you looking for me about?”

Shi Ziran said helplessly that the child had grown up and had his own ideas, and he could no longer control him.

“I heard that the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect appeared outside the city. Uncle Shi, do you know about this?”

He said to Xiaoyuan, his tone a little worried.

“I heard that it was someone from Zhitang’s branch.”

Shi Ziran said in a deep voice.

The Wenxiang Sect originally had six halls, namely the Management Hall, the Executive Hall, the Litang, the Punishment Hall, the Seal Guarding Hall and the Sword Guarding Hall.

Zhitang is the main force of Wenxiang Sect and also the hall with the largest number of members. It is mainly responsible for carrying out various tasks.

The Guantang was responsible for recruiting personnel, training new personnel, rewarding, punishing and promoting personnel, etc.

The auditorium was mainly responsible for preaching, while the execution hall was responsible for enforcing criminal law.

The Guardian Seal and the Guardian Sword are also extremely mysterious beings within the Wenxiang Sect. They have only one responsibility, which is to ensure the continuation of the Wenxiang Sect’s inheritance.

“If Zhitang hadn’t betrayed me, the leader and the saint wouldn’t have died. Zhitang is a traitor. If I wasn’t worried about being exposed, I would have wanted to kill them.”

Shi Ziran said, his eyes flashing with hatred and murderous intent.

“Uncle Shi, why did the Zhitang people suddenly appear in Wuling? Is there some conspiracy?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan said worriedly.

“Zhitang betrayed the leader and the saint girl, hoping to reap the benefits, but in the end they themselves did not get any benefits and were completely disbanded by the Great Xuan court.”

Shi Ziran sneered, “But they have not given up in these years, and have been looking for the treasures of our Wenxiang Sect everywhere. This time they must have heard some rumors, so they ran to Wuling.”

“Humph, a bunch of traitors want to find treasure? That’s just wishful thinking!”

Shi Ziran’s face was full of sarcasm as he spoke coldly.

“So, it should be just a coincidence?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it.

“It’s a coincidence.”

Shi Ziran nodded and said, “They are not coming for us. If they really came for us, they would not come for such a small amount of things.

If you want to take me down, these people can’t do it. Zhitang won’t be so stupid.”

As he spoke, a proud look appeared on Shi Ziran’s face.

At this moment, he was no longer the leader of a small sect living in an outer city district, but the powerful swordsman of the Wenxiang Sect!
He nodded to Xiaoyuan, without any doubt about Shi Ziran’s words.

“Don’t worry, Miss. Our identities are clean now. No one can find out anything. Those people in charge of the hall cannot affect us.”

Shi Ziran said, “Nothing else, Miss, you should go back to the inner city as soon as possible. After all, the outer city is not very stable.”

He responded to Xiaoyuan.

The two talked for a while, and then Shi Ziran climbed out the window and left again.

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it for a while, with a somewhat conflicted expression on his face.

“He is quite powerful and brought so many people with him, so he shouldn’t be in danger.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan whispered to himself, “But there are many experts in Zhitang, what if?”

“I’ll go check it out. If he’s okay, that would be the best. If he’s okay…”

Xiang Xiaoyuan showed a determined look on his face, “Xiang Xiaoyuan, Xiang Xiaoyuan, people have given you the opportunity to be remembered for generations, but you are not even willing to take this little risk. How can you repay them?

If I just save people, they may not be able to see my true colors.”

…………

On the outskirts of Daxing Mountain, at a supply point for the city defense forces.

While bandaging the wound on his arm, Luo Anning looked up and asked in confusion, “Why are you telling me this?”

“It is the responsibility of the Dongcheng Division to hunt down the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect. Su Mu is the Sima of the Dongcheng Division, so it is normal for him to be in charge of this matter.”

Luo Anning said seriously, “There’s no need to tell me about this kind of thing.”

“no–“

The officer standing opposite Luo An Ning was a little flustered. He didn’t expect Luo An Ning to react like this.

“I’m not telling you specifically, I’m telling every lord in the Taiping Division, because the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect appearing nearby is a big deal, and we hope that everyone can be on guard.”

The officer explained.

That being said, it does make sense.

Luo Anning thought about it and nodded, indicating that he accepted this statement.

“Are the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect that appeared in Dongcheng District very strong?”

Luo Anning asked.

“Very strong, Dongchengsi may not be able to deal with it.”

The officer said, “If you have time, Lord Luo, I think it would be best for you to go and provide support.

Demons are dangerous, but the Scent of Fragrance Sect is also very dangerous.”

“I won’t go.” Luo An Ning said seriously, “If he can handle it, it’s useless for me to go. If he can’t handle it, it’s useless for me to go either.”

After bandaging the wound on his arm, Luo Anning grabbed the sword, stood up and walked out.

“He has his battlefield, and I have mine. To become the Taiping Commander, we both have to work hard.”

Luo Anning’s voice came from afar, and her slender figure gradually moved away.

The officer: “…”

This is different from what the master said.

He is a member of the He family. This time, the He family mobilized almost all of their strength just to let Luo An Ning know the news.

Logically speaking, after Luo An Ning learned the news, he should have gone to rescue Su Mu immediately.

Why did she react this way?

It seems as if she has enough confidence in Su Mu. Is she so sure that Su Mu can do it?
Is it because I didn’t tell him that there are masters of the Blood Exchange Realm among the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect?
Outside the supply point, Luo Anning held the sword with extra force, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

“He has even comprehended the realm of mind. It took me more than ten moves to defeat He Guangshao, but he did it with just one move. His strength is not much weaker than mine.”

Luo An Ning murmured to himself, “I have to work harder, otherwise, won’t I have to call him Senior Brother?”

She looked up at the deep forest, which contained endless dangers.

Hunt monsters and kill demons!
Miss Luo waved her fist, cheered herself up, and rushed in without hesitation.

…………

“Sir, when shall we take action?”

Chen Song came to Su Mu and asked in a low voice.

A few days ago, Su Mu led the elite detectives of the East City Division out of the city.

And two days ago, they successfully found the traces of the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect.

They had been lurking outside the base of the remnants of the Wen Xiang Sect for two days, trying to find out the strength of these remnants.

By now, Chen Song felt that they had touched enough territory and was a little impatient to take action.

Eradicating the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect is a great achievement.

“Chen Song, do you feel weird?”

Su Mu did not comment, but asked instead.

“What’s weird?”

Chen Song didn’t understand.

“If you were a member of the Scent of Fragrance Sect, would you set up camp in a place like this?”

Su Mu said slowly, “Look at this place, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one exit. This gourd-shaped place, as long as this exit is blocked, the people inside will become turtles in a jar.

This kind of Jedi doesn’t look like a suitable place to set up camp.”

A thoughtful look appeared on Chen Song’s face. He looked carefully at the terrain ahead and finally reacted.

You don’t need to know any knowledge of marching and fighting to see this; anyone with eyes can see it.

“Sir, are you saying that this is a trap? The remnants of the Wenxiang Cult deliberately stayed here to lure us in and then surround us?”

Chen Song said with some doubt.

Do they have the guts to plan an ambush on the police?

It seems that they really have that much courage!

The Wen Xiang Sect even dared to rebel, so what else are they afraid of?

Chen Song was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but when he saw Su Mu in front of him with a calm face, he immediately calmed down.

What are you afraid of? There are adults here.

If the Wen Xiang Sect really dares to set an ambush, they will definitely end up losing more than they gain.

Besides, they have already seen that this is a trap, so would they still jump into it?
“Sir, how about we retreat and ask the city defense army for help, and let the city defense army send a large force to wipe them out?”

Chen Song said.

“It’s too late. If it’s a trap, do you think they will let us go back?”

Su Mu shook his head and said.

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a burst of applause came from the darkness.

There was a rustling sound in the woods not far away, and then dozens of figures rushed out from all directions, instantly surrounding the people from Dongchengsi.

“What if you figured out this trap?”

In the crowd, a man took a step forward, looked at Su Mu and the others, and laughed, “From the moment you walked out of the city gate, your fate was already determined.”

“Protect your lord!”

Chen Song drew out his sword with a clang and stood in front of Su Mu with a loyal look on his face.

The other detectives also drew their swords and stared at the enemies with nervous expressions.

“Just you?”

The leader on the opposite side sneered and took another step forward.

As he moved, his robes ballooned up without wind.

Boom!

When his right foot landed on the ground, the ground shook violently.

Chen Song and the others swayed and almost lost their balance. Their faces turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I saw that person’s skin was actually congested and looked blood red.

The power of blood!

He is a strong man in the blood exchange realm!
Bang.

A constable lost his grip on the knife and it fell to the ground.

“Exchange-Exchange Blood Realm!”

Chen Song’s body also began to tremble slightly.

He knew that his master was very powerful, but no matter how strong he was, he was only at the Body Tempering Stage.

How can the Body Tempering Realm be compared with the Blood Exchange Realm?

“Sir, let us hold him back, you run!”

Chen Song gritted his teeth, turned his head and whispered.

“Run? Can you run?”

The person in the blood exchange realm on the opposite side laughed loudly.

Su Mu patted Chen Song on the shoulder and motioned him to move aside.

“It’s not time to run yet.”

Su Mu said calmly, “I have never fought against a Blood Exchange Realm cultivator before. This time I can see how strong the Blood Exchange Realm cultivator is.”

Also see how powerful my immortal golden body is.

Su Mu added in his mind.

“You ignorant child, overestimating your own abilities!”

The Blood Exchange Realm cultivator on the opposite side sneered, “I’ll let you know how big the gap is between the Body Tempering Realm and the Blood Exchange Realm!”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, and the blood in his body steamed, making a sound like waves surging.

Su Mu held the Qiu Shui Knife in his right hand, with his membranes and tendons stretched tight.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed just in front of Su Mu, blocking Su Mu’s attack.

“I’ll stop him, you guys go away!”

The black shadow spoke without even turning her head. After she finished speaking, a dazzling light burst out from her hand and enveloped the Blood Exchange Realm expert.
