Chapter 48 - Assassination

Luo Shan reunited with Jiang Xinyu, but brought bad news that the people from Jiang Family had been scattered.

"The guy hiding in the dark has finally made his move?"

A thought flashed past Jiang Xinyu's mind, but she maintained her composure.

"I've already cleaned up the people who were here to cause trouble, and the camp didn't suffer too much damage. Let's spend the night here, if the rest of Jiang Family escape, they might return here as well." Lu Yang suggested.

Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, then expressed her agreement, but Luo Shan naturally did not object.

The three of them tidied up the areas that were messed up by the Hercules Sublunar and waited for a while longer. However, they still did not manage to find anyone else from the Jiang Family.

It was already deep into the night, and the three of them prepared to rest.

As the captain of the Jiang Family Protectors, Luo Shan voluntarily proposed to stand guard at night. Thinking about how he was previously injured by the Hercules Sublunar, Jiang Xinyu did not want him to work too hard.

After discussing for a while, they finally decided to take turns guarding. Luo Shan first, Jiang Xinyu second and finally Lu Yang.

Luo Shan arranged for them to be on guard duty first, and then Lu Yang called for Jiang Xinyu to stop before they returned to their own tents.

"Xiao Yueyue knows that the Spirit Element is not bad, and is able to sense cultivators and Magical Beast within a hundred meters. Tonight, let it follow you."

Lu Yang reached out his hand. This time, Xiao Yueyue had already climbed out of her sleeve obediently and stood on his palm.

"The most reliable servant, I am of service to you."

Xiao Yueyue pretended to bow towards Jiang Xinyu. It seemed to be in a good mood because of Lu Yang's previous praise.

Jiang Xinyu originally wanted to reject, but after hesitating for a moment, she still extended her white jade-like hand out.

Xiao Yueyue immediately climbed onto Jiang Xinyu's hands.

After separating, the two went back to their respective tents and rested.

The first half of the night was quiet and peaceful. Jiang Xinyu took a short nap, estimated that it was her turn, then stood up and tidied up a bit, then walked out of the tent.

Xiao Yueyue was woken up from her beautiful dream with a face full of unwillingness. However, when she saw Jiang Xinyu's elegant and beautiful face, the grievance in her heart was completely swept away and she obediently went into Jiang Xinyu's sleeves.

Walking out of the tent, Jiang Xinyu's gaze swept one round around the camp, and finally stopped on the tent that Lu Yang lived in.

She looked at the dead tent for a moment, but said nothing.

"Eldest Miss."

Seeing Jiang Xinyu walking over, Luo Shan, who was dozing off, forced himself to stay alert.

Jiang Xinyu's ice-cold gaze also seemed to have changed a bit, but her voice did not reveal any of her emotions. "The others … Did you not return to the camp? "

Luo Shan shook his head: "No … Maybe it's because it's dangerous at night, so they all found a place to spend the night first. "

Jiang Xinyu nodded his head, without a doubt, he said: "It's been hard on you, it's my turn to stand guard, you should go back and rest."

"Alright."

Luo Shan did not try to be brave, and replied and yawned as he headed back to the camp.

Jiang Xinyu saw Luo Shan's tired expression, but didn't say anything. The two of them walked in opposite directions.

But, just as the two of them were crossing paths, a cold light flashed past Luo Shan's eyes, his lifeless eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, full of killing intent!

Weng! *

A buzzing sound could be heard, but it did not stop. Luo Shan held his steel blade and slashed diagonally, aimed straight for Jiang Xinyu's head!

The change was extremely sudden, extremely fierce and extremely fast!

But Jiang Xinyu's reaction was even faster, and her movements even faster!

As if she was prepared, she twisted her slender waist, and her body gracefully flashed out. When she landed on the ground, she was already several meters away.

And Luo Shan's sneak attack also naturally missed.

This attack failed, causing Luo Shan to be rather surprised. He looked at the great miss of Jiang Family in front of him and asked, "It looks like you were prepared a long time ago?"

Jiang Xinyu met Luo Shan's gaze that brimmed with killing intent. Her eyes were complicated, but she did not reply.

"I thought I had been hiding it well, but I didn't expect you to suspect me." Luo Shan laughed, as though he was laughing at himself.

Jiang Xinyu looked at Luo Shan coldly: "I have never doubted you, I only … No one is trusted. "

Luo Shan was startled, then reacted, laughing out loud: "Hahaha … "Good, what a good 'not trusting anyone'!"

"Looks like I have underestimated you …" "I thought that because of the change in your Lu Family, after all the experts left, you would have no one to rely on, so I had no choice but to rely on.

"I really do rely on you."

Even though he had been betrayed, Jiang Xinyu's emotions did not seem to have changed much, and it was unknown whether his expression was ice cold or numb.

"I don't understand, why did you betray the Jiang Family?" Jiang Xinyu looked straight into Luo Shan's eyes, as if she wanted to get her answer from there.

"Why?" Luo Shan laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous, "Humans die for wealth, while birds die for food."

Jiang Xinyu did not understand, "Jiang Family have always been good to you."

"Not bad, so what?" Luo Shan sneered, "The Jiang Family is declining day by day and removing it is only a matter of time. I don't want to die on this ship that's about to sink!"

Jiang Xinyu was stung by Luo Shan's words and her eyes finally showed some slight changes, but it only flashed by.

"Stop. With your The Psychic Realm's strength, you aren't my match." Jiang Xinyu said.

Luo Shan laughed contemptuously: "That's right, First Miss' early stage Spiritual Spring Realm is considered quite strong in the entire Qingta City. With my strength, it is obviously impossible to deal with her, but …. Who says I am alone? "

Inside Jiang Xinyu's sleeves, a small claw suddenly tugged at her sleeve, immediately raising her guard.

"Roar!"

As soon as Luo Shan finished speaking, an Vicious Beasts flew out of the dense forest to Jiang Xinyu's left, directly towards her.

Although Jiang Xinyu was shocked, and her body moved to dodge it, when she retreated a few steps back, a corner of her dress was also torn, but she was not injured.

"Oh?"

This scene surprised Luo Shan.

The Fierce Claw Tiger had also restrained its Qi and hid it by the side. Logically speaking, it should not have been discovered, but why was Jiang Xinyu dodging it again?

Luo Shan was bewildered, but he did not know that Jiang Xinyu was not alone in the battle. Xiao Yueyue had long warned her about the Magical Beast lying in ambush nearby.

"And those three Fierce Claw Tigers in the grass, call them out as well." Jiang Xinyu's eyes were clear, her face did not have any fear.

These words caused Luo Shan to be slightly shocked in his heart, but he had originally planned to end the battle quickly. He clapped his hands and three figures dashed out from the forest, just like the one that attacked Jiang Xinyu earlier, the Spiritual Spring Level Magical Beast, Fierce Claw Tiger.

Jiang Xinyu's face finally turned serious.

Amongst the four Fierce Claw Tigers that surrounded Jiang Xinyu, three of them were at the same level as Jiang Xinyu. The leader of the four Fierce Claw Tigers, with scars on his face, was most likely at the middle stage of the Spirit Spring.

Jiang Xinyu, who was in an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and combat power, was surrounded by four Fierce Claw Tigers. It could be said that she was trapped in a situation where she had nowhere to run.
