Chapter 909: Chapter 908: The Fleeting Man in Black

"The Empress is no different from ordinary people, is she?"

No wonder she had so many followers; however, they had just started to get to know each other, so it was understandable that he wasn’t familiar with her habits yet.

"Well, after spending more time together, everyone will get used to each other. Let’s go!"

She put on her soft mask and immediately leapt up, sweeping towards the mountain.

Xi Jiu was still somewhat uncomfortable, but he didn’t hesitate for long. As Chu Qianli stepped forward, he immediately covered his face with a black scarf and followed her.

However, the Empress’s Qinggong was indeed beyond his expectations.

Watching her movements, it wasn’t just Qinggong; her Martial Arts were likely formidable as well.

The Empress of Longteng, indeed, was no ordinary person.

As the saying goes, ’fine birds choose their tree,’ Fu Long had invited him, and he was still in the observation phase.

How long he could follow under her command depended entirely on whether she could earn his loyalty.

Xi Jiu didn’t overthink it, closely following behind Chu Qianli, all the while paying keen attention to their surroundings.

Although he didn’t know how long he could work for her, he had to devote himself completely, at least for now.

Soon, the two arrived at the back courtyard of the Shanhu Gang stronghold.

The numbers of Shanhu Gang had drastically reduced, some killed in battle, others had fled, and some were relocating.

"Vice Gang Leader, the Nightshade Army of Prince Xuan is too formidable; our brothers can’t hold them back."

Within less than the time it took to finish a cup of tea, two injured brothers returned to report the condition of the battle.

The Vice Gang Leader looked troubled, having not expected it to be Prince Xuan this time.

With any other commander, there might have been a chance for victory.

Prince Xuan... Once the brothers knew he was leading the enemy, their spirits were already half broken.

The Vice Gang Leader turned and entered a row of houses, quickly disappearing from sight.

Their Gang Leader must be in those houses.

However, that entire row of houses looked identical from the outside.

Why did the Gang Leader go to such lengths to conceal his whereabouts?

Chu Qianli and Xi Jiu exchanged glances, and Xi Jiu nodded. He leapt up swiftly, soon landing on the roof of one of the houses.

His Qinggong was exceptionally skilled!

A hint of joy gleamed in Chu Qianli’s eyes.

Fu Long really had chosen well this time.

Chu Qianli also leaped onto the roof, and both of them, one on each side, carefully started their search.

The night provided good cover, and most importantly, almost all the gang members had mobilized, leaving few guards in the stronghold.

Soon, Xi Jiu stopped.

Chu Qianli quickly walked over to him, and before they even crouched down, they heard someone speaking below.

"... The master said not to harm him; tell the brothers to leave via the back mountain to avoid..."

The black-clad person suddenly stopped speaking.

Someone was coming outside!

Chu Qianli had just lifted a corner of the tiles; she barely had time to see the figure of the man in black before he collected his steps and turned, disappearing behind a screen.

He vanished in an instant!

Below them, there was a secret passage!

Chu Qianli and Xi Jiu exchanged glances, and Xi Jiu immediately swept towards the backyard.

Chu Qianli remained crouched atop the roof, and indeed, someone was arriving outside.

"Boss Leader, something terrible has happened!"

The Vice Gang Leader hurried back, his body even marked with bloodstains.

"What has frightened you so?" The Gang Leader looked back, and seeing that the black-clad person was completely gone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Vice Gang Leader urgently said, "The back mountain... The path leading to the foot of the mountain has been... has been cut off, we’re trapped!"
