Chapter 127: Caught in a Pincer Attack, Succeeding in One Strike

Upon hearing his complaints, Zhou Min’s expression turned sour.

She let out a disdainful hum, "Ye Siheng is merely a decoy. My intention in coming here is to take the life of Chu Nanli. While my master will not act directly, we cannot remain idle. We must execute a pincer attack to ensure success."

Her voice was cold, laced with a murderous intent.

Jiang Tian had long been lurking in the capital and had heard of Chu Nanli’s formidable abilities.

She had saved the prince multiple times, earning the admiration of her family.

One could say that she had risen to high status.

"So, it’s her," Jiang Tian’s expression turned serious.

"I never expected that such a young woman could overturn the situation so many times."

"She and the fate of the Mu Nation are intertwined. By killing her, the fortune of the Mu Nation will come to an end," Zhou Min said.

"My master has put great effort into this plan, and with his guidance, we must give it our all."

"I am willing to do whatever it takes to help the Crown Prince succeed," Jiang Tian declared.

This woman had obstructed their plans time and time again, and now she dared to meddle once more.

He was determined to eliminate her and smooth the path for the Crown Prince.

Zhou Min nodded in satisfaction.

After all, they were both assisting the Crown Prince.

Once the Crown Prince unified the realm, her master would become the supreme Grand National Teacher, receiving endless reverence.

"If Chu Nanli wants to enter Ye Siheng’s dream, she will need to set up an array. She cannot bring people into the palace using a formation, as it would cause conflicts," Zhou Min said, her gaze sharp.

"Then it must be in the Mansion of Ye Siheng," Jiang Tian suggested.

"Not necessarily," Zhou Min’s lips curved into a smile.

"Ordinary people would think it’s in the Lord of Yu’s residence, so she must have chosen another place to ensure safety."

"In that case, she must be in..."

Zhou Min placed the teacup on the table and interrupted, "In the Mansion of Anyang Marquis, her own place. The guards there are not much inferior to those in the Mansion of Ye Siheng."

"Indeed!" Jiang Tian’s eyes lit up.

However, to ensure a successful strike, Zhou Min would also use her Daoist arts to investigate thoroughly.

Two days later.

As Zhou Min had predicted, both the Mansion of Prince Yu and Anyang Marquis had increased their guards.

She used talismans and quickly peered into the Marquis e of Anyang’s residence, where Chu Nanli was drawing formation arrays.

Jiang Tian had gathered his men, and together with the two of them, they had nearly ninety people.

"This time, we will launch a surprise attack on the Marquis of Anyang’s residence, killing both Chu Nanli and Ye Siheng. Once they fall into a coma, despite the protection of the formation array, this talisman will clear the way for you all," Zhou Min had made preparations in advance and distributed the talismans accordingly.

The spies acknowledged one by one, keeping the mission firmly in mind.

Soon, they dispersed and took up positions near the Marquis of Anyang’s residence, waiting for the signal to act.

It was noon.

Still not completely at ease, Zhou Min used her Daoist arts once again.

In the mirror, the formation array had been completed, with Ye Siheng lying in the center, and Chu Nanli preparing to activate the array.

Zhou Min sneered, "No wonder my senior brothers were defeated by this little girl."

It was not easy to master the soul projection technique that could enter dreams.

Chu Nanli was so young, yet she already possessed such power.

It was a pity that if she were not an enemy of the Qi Kingdom, Zhou Min would have persuaded her to learn from her master and become her junior sister.

When the time came, Zhou Min saw Chu Nanli activating the array.

At this moment, Chu Nanli tightly held Ye Siheng’s hand and fell into a state of unconsciousness.

Zhou Min’s lips curved into a smile.

"The time has come!"

Once inside the sealed dream realm, unless they found Ye Siheng and brought him out, Chu Nanli would not easily awaken.

Upon hearing the signal, Jiang Tian immediately gave the order.

In an instant, the spies emerged from all directions, rushing into the Marquis of Anyang’s residence, unleashing a massacre.

Their sole objective was to kill Ye Siheng and Chu Nanli !

However, the Marquis of Anyang’s residence had a considerable number of guards.

As the spies broke in, numerous black-armored guards appeared.

Seeing that the black-armored guards were also stationed here, Zhou Min and Jiang Tian became even more convinced that the two of them must be inside the Marquis of Anyang’s residence.

Working together, one with talismans and the other with a blade, they cleared a path.

Even the valiant and skilled black-armored guards could not impede their progress.

However, soon an spies reported, "No one in the inner courtyard! The inner courtyard is empty!"

Zhou Min heard this and was slightly startled.

The inner courtyard was empty?

Could it be that Chu Nanli knew of the danger and had moved her family elsewhere?

She had been careless, too focused on observing Ye Siheng and Chu Nanli’s whereabouts, neglecting the people in the Marquis of Anyang’s residence.

"Zhou nun, what should we do now?" Jiang Tian asked.

"If it’s empty, then it’s empty. They are not our targets," Zhou Min gritted her teeth.

"As long as those two are here, our trip won’t be in vain."

Jiang Tian nodded, sharing the same sentiment.

Zhou Min threw several fire talismans, and the first few guards were set ablaze.

Unexpectedly, water talismans were used to extinguish the flames in an instant.

Upon closer inspection, it was a young nobleman.

Xie Beihan coldly snorted, "Daring to cause trouble in my sister’s residence? Let’s see whose talismans are more powerful!"

Although he did not draw the talismans himself.

Zhou Min seethed with anger, how dare this inexperienced brat dare to obstruct her path?

Jiang Tian understood Zhou Min’s intentions and swiftly leaped forward, brandishing his blade, intending to cleave Xie Beihan in two.

Xie Beihan was skilled in defending against spells, but when faced with real weapons, he was no match.

He let out a cry of alarm and quickly dodged.

The Black Armored Guards arrived just in time, intercepting Jiang Tian’s attack on Xie Beihan.

Zhou Min raised her hand and unleashed a dozen immobilization talismans, instantly freezing the Black Armored Guards in their tracks.

"Hurry!"

Zhou Min cast another talisman, breaking through the door.

"Sixth Sister!" Xie Beihan shouted loudly.

Inside the room, at the center of a shimmering golden array, lay two figures.

Zhou Min was filled with excitement and cast another talisman, instantly shattering the dream-like array, causing the golden light to dissipate.

Jiang Tian shouted and exuded a murderous aura as he swung his blade towards Xie Beihan, who cried out in despair.

Just as he reached the center of the formation, the two individuals suddenly vanished, followed by the sound of rushing wind as countless arrows were shot from the corners of the room!

Jiang Tian widened his eyes and managed to deflect the first wave of arrows, but he couldn’t evade the remaining ones, no matter how high his martial arts skills were!

In an instant, his body was pierced like a hedgehog.

With a thud, he spat out blood and fell to his knees.

Seeing this, Xie Beihan couldn’t help but feel a hint of satisfaction.

"I warned you not to go over there, but you didn’t listen."

Jiang Tian struggled to lift his head and saw nothing but talismans and formations on the ground, with no trace of the two individuals.

His voice weak, he said, "Zhou... we... fell into a trap."

Zhou Min, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but understand.

Xie Beihan had already broken free from the immobilization talisman, and Zhou Min found herself surrounded.

She pursed her lips and said, "It was an illusion. This little girl is truly formidable."

"You’re not bad yourself. Despite knowing that the Marquis’s residence was prepared, you still came here to meet your doom,"

Xie Beihan said, hands on his waist.
