'Hmm, could it be that the one that these people wanted to kill is not me? The target is actually Princess Ling Meng?' Jun Mo Xie glanced at it and shrugged his shoulders. 'Even if it's true, it had nothing to do with him.'
It took him a few moments to react as he decided to leave the place, but before he could do that, Princess Ling Meng's entourage arrived before him.
The two waiting ladies at the front saw Jun Mo Xie standing before them without any movements whatsoever, and their faces turned into an expression of extreme disgust. They lightly moved towards the sedan chair and whispered a few words into it.
The person in the sedan chair said a few words, and the entourage stopped. Then, the curtains of the sedan chair were opened. The face of a beautiful girl wearing light yellow palace clothing was revealed through the window. The face showed some impatience, but the impatience was restrained as she asked. "Jun Moxie, why are you standing in my way today?"
Jun Mo Xie raised his head and stared at her for a second before walking over to the side. "I apologize for wasting your time, Your Highness. Please go ahead."
Even though he had no interest in her but he just tried to be a good person once, as the princess had a good relationship with that great 'aunt' Dugu Xiaoyi.
Before walking away, he secretly gave a warning to her.
"Princess, be careful on the road."
Princess Ling Meng was somewhat surprised as she looked at Jun Moxie. He was very different today, as normally he would annoy her by stalking her, but since she was in a hurry, she ignored it.
She returned to her seat, and the curtain was put down.
'Hmph! If not because I have to give some security to your old bastard of a father, I will not waste my precious time on you. I would rather go after my dear Xue Yan...'
Jun Moxie chuckled with a playful smile and walked away. He had moved up to some distance when suddenly a few chilling auras locked onto him.
'Oi, oi, oi, you crazy bastards! I don't even try to disturb you with your job, and yet you are targeting me too.'
Following the 'raise the sedan chair' order, the entourage began moving forward slowly. A number of the bodyguards from the group were extremely courteous as they bowed ceremoniously toward Jun Moxie before moving forward.
At this moment, Princess Ling Meng, who was seated in the sedan chair, was pondering Moxie's warning. Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart.
'Could it be that Jun Moxie knew something? Could he be trying to give me a subtle warning?'
It was then.
The sky turned dark as the endless shade of night enveloped the ground!
Behind the darkness of the night, several masked men in black descended from the skies. Even before reaching the ground, tens of sharp blades shot straight toward the sedan chair.
"Protect the Princess!"
The bodyguards shouted as they stood defensively around the sedan chair, their swords gleaming in the air.
The people on the street could only scream in fear and run.
Another two masked men in black descended from the roof and headed straight towards Jun Moxie.
'Hmph! Two little Silver Xuan assassins dare to target me?'
Jun Mo Xie could easily deal with them, but he wasn't planning to reveal his strength in front of so many eyes. He decided to wait for the situation to turn messier and enjoyed the show from the sidelines.
Sometimes it would bring better results than showing off every time. So, after contemplating for some time, he decided to play dead to avoid the situation.
He purposely let them stab him so they could be fooled into believing that he died under their hands.
On the other hand, Princess Ling Meng's silver Xuan bodyguards died under gold Xuan assassins. She tried to be a hero and fight them with her Silver Xuan cultivation level, but to no avail.
Just as everyone thought that she was dead, a dazzling blue light flashed in the sky and struck the space between the assassins and Princess Ling Meng.
The two assassin leaders were about to push their swords forward and finish off Princess Ling Meng when a blue radiance flashed before them, causing everyone to squint their eyes due to its extremely dazzling brilliance!
Dark blue!
The dark blue color upon it caused everyone's soul to palpitate with fear!
Amidst the darkness of the night, this dark blue radiance was simply dazzling!
This…
Sky Xuan expert!
The two masked men in black cried out in fear, an expression of extreme horror flashing within their eyes. They lost all thoughts of killing Princess Ling Meng, hastily retracted their swords, and retreated quickly in an awkward manner.
After a moment, the dagger was finally restored to its original color!
Many of them at the scene were shocked and simultaneously stopped whatever they were doing. Their eyes were all focused on the small flying dagger inserted into the ground, their expressions filled with astonishment!
In their eyes, the small flying dagger had transformed into an insurmountable mountain!
A person who was hidden within the dark eaves of a house situated beside the street was about to make his move when he saw the flying dagger appear and stopped abruptly. His body was glowing with oceanic blue radiance, signifying the beginner stage of the Sky Xuan rank.
Moxie was planning to kill all the assassins on the spot while pretending to be dead, but he then felt the presence of another Sky Xuan expert nearby, causing him to change his approach.
Behind their masks, the nine assassins' faces were filled with fear and a little bit of dilemma.
In contrast, Princess Ling Meng's bodyguards all became relieved and delighted! With such a legendary existence protecting Princess Ling Meng, Her Highness' safety was assured!
"Which senior has arrived? Do you have any instructions? Please show yourself," The leader of the masked men in black stood straight, his hands cupped respectfully towards the sky as he said in a courteous voice.
In the distance, the muffled sound of hooves could be heard, each sound resounding like thunder as they moved toward them. It appeared that this assassination attempt had been found out.
After a while, the eyes of the leader of the men in black burst with a cold glint. He waved his hand and charged at Princess Ling Meng with a sword in hand!
However, as he advanced forward, another blue light flashed as another dagger carrying a blue glow shot down before this man in black! The speed of this dagger was obviously faster than before, showing that the expert was somewhat angry with the assassins.
The leader got his soul scared out of him and could feel a headache coming.
