Chu Qingzhi swiftly dispersed the three incoming arrows with her spiritual power, reducing them to dust. She then dashed into the woods, swiftly capturing three individuals and tossing them in front of the leader of the assassins.
"Just perfect, all four of you!" she declared.
The four lay on the ground like sludge, their eyes filled with a hopeless despair.
Chu Qingzhi looked down at them and got straight to the point, "Who sent you?"
The leader of the assassins struggled to speak, "We're under Lord Yun. Tang Jinghong destroyed his treasure, and in retaliation, our superiors sent us to kill you."
Lord Yun had actually made a move. Chu Qingzhi inquired further, "Who is this Lord Yun in the eastern border?"
The leader replied, "No one knows his real identity. He meets his subordinates cloaked and masked, with his voice deliberately altered. He's a tall, thin man with a stooped posture. Always an odd and eerie presence."
