"Are you the ones that did this?" Yanmei turned looking at them with her murderous eyes.
"So what if we are the ones? You are at our mercy" . One said and they all laughed. Yanmei looked at them emitting a very cold and murderous aura. For a while they were all frightened and moved backwards subconsciously.
"Why are we scared of such a trash with no cultivation?" one of the black assassin finally had the courage to speak. Everyone agreed with him and started moving closer to her.
"Who sent you?" Yanmei asked.
"You don't have to know, all you have to know is that you offended the wrong person". One who seemed liked the leader replied.
"Come on, I'm about to die at least I deserve to know my enemy before dying so that in my next life I'll be careful not to offend that 'great' person". Yanmei pleaded with them.
"Well you deserve to know since you are gonna die so that in your next life you would be more obedient". One of the black assassin said nodding as he listened to her reasoning.
'Seriously, she sent some foolish assassin to kill me, I'm so disappointed'. Yanmei mummers.
'Yeah, you can easily take down the ten of them with your past assassin skills'. Feng Huang said. 'Besides, you unlocked two of your elements before you died and you are a poison genius so you have so many ways to kill them'.
'You are right'.
"Let's get this over with so we can get our money". The leader said.
"Wait! Who sent you?"
"You don't deserve to know". The leader said and they attacked together. Yanmei easily slid down and douched the first attack surprising the assassin.
"How did she do that? I thought she was trash?" they asked confusing.
"I'm going to ask one last time, who sent you?" this time the whole air was freezing and they felt they were turning to ice as they stared at her with horror.
"We....we don't know... We only know she's a female.... That's all we know... We've never seen the person... We take the job from our master and do it...." they answered afraid as they watch in horror as the blue flames in her hand grew intense.
"Which organization are you from?" she asked as the wind grew stronger.
"Black.... Organization". They replied shivering.
"Well you are useless to me and you dared poison my maid, so you all deserves to die". She said. Immediately, the wind surrounded them she stretched her arms and it changed to a fiery wind. They screamed in horror as the wind engulfed them burning them intensely until they turned to dust and blew away with the wind without a single trace of what happened.
Yanmei staggered as she tried walking to Hwayang.
'You used too much energy and you need to recuperate very soon'. Feng Huang warned.
'I need to take Hwayang back home'. She said weakly. She spat out blood as she fell down.
'This body is still too weak'. Feng Huang said. 'Let me out so I can help you'.
'No...'
'I can give you half of my power just enough for you to go home'. Feng Huang suggested and she agreed to it. 'Someone's coming'.
Feng Huang quickly gave her enough power to defend herself and she quickly got up to face the intruder. She was surprised to see an handsome guy with a silver mask walking to her.
"Seems like the shows over, do you need help getting home?" and offered. Yanmei was dumbfounded as she stared at his mesmerising foxlike violet eyes. Something in those eyes was drawing her in.
'He's very powerful, you can't defeat him'. Feng Huang warned.
" Did you see everything?"
" Depends on what you are referring to". He replied as he stared at the young girl in front of him with interest.
"What do you want?" and asked standing firmly.
"I want you". He replied.
'F*ck I just had to have an encounter with a freak'. She muttered. "Oh then come and get me". She said smiling slyly as she watched him walked towards her. Once he was very close to her, she immediately threw a odourless white powder at him and quickly picked up Hwayang as she ran.
"Master!" a black figure quickly knelt down in front of the man. "You are poisoned, should I go after her?"
"Interesting". He turned to look at the guard. "No let her be, I'll pay her a visit". He said gritting his teeth, "let's go back fast to treat this poison I can't stand it anymore". He said as they both quickly disappeared.
Meanwhile, Yanmei quickly entered the carriage with the unconscious Hwayang. The coachman was scared witless seeing them in that state and quickly urged to horse forward with full speed.
Once they reached the Manor, the servant where shocked to see the unconscious miss and servant. They hurriedly carried both of them, some rushing to call the imperial physician.
"Great general!! Bad news!" a servant quickly entered collapsing on the floor. Zhou Honghui and general Zhou looked at the servant confused.
"Speak". Zhou Honghui commanded.
"Its... The young miss...." the servant stammered.
"What happened to Xiao Yue!" they both exclaimed.
"The young miss....and her...servant...where...attacked....they are....both unconscious".
BANG!
