Chapter 142: Prince Xiao is Missing
On this dark night, a cold moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool glow. Dark Moon Fairy stood in silence, holding a short and delicate flute in her hand, and played it gently. The melodious and mysterious flute sound echoed in the air, as if it possessed a strange magic.
As the flute sounded, a group of creepy snakes and rats began to appear and quickly gathered together, but just a moment later, these creatures disappeared without a trace like ghosts, as if they had never existed.
On the other side, Du Heng carried the robber who shot the hidden arrow into the temple. He threw the body heavily on the ground, making a dull sound. The girls who were originally frightened and dared not say a word because of the bloodbath of the robbers by Dark Moon Fairy only trembled slightly at this moment, without much reaction.
Dark Moon Fairy raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "You came at the right time. Untie the ropes on these girls."
Du Heng immediately took action and skillfully untied the ropes on the girls' hands and feet. At the same time, he reported to Xueying: "Master, the guy who shot the arrow has committed suicide by taking poison!"
Bloodshadow walked forward, pried open the robber's mouth with a sharp dagger, and carefully picked out a bitten poison sac from the back tooth socket.
He observed it carefully and sneered: "This is a poison used exclusively by the royal family! It seems that even if the person behind this matter is not a member of the royal family, he must have a close connection with the royal family!" There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen through the truth of the matter.
Dark Moon Enchantress slightly raised her long and slender eyebrows, and said in a cold and arrogant tone: "Since the person has been found, there is nothing for me to linger on. I'll leave first! As for these girls, you will be responsible for escorting them away safely!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the temple without hesitation, as if she had no intention of lingering at all.
Xueying frowned and ordered Du Heng, "Make sure these girls return home safely!" Then he quickly followed Dark Moon Enchantress's steps and rushed out.
Dark Moon Fairy's footsteps were unusually brisk and agile, and she shuttled between the mountain paths like a ghost. Although Blood Shadow tried his best to catch up, it took him a while to catch up with her halfway up the mountain.
Dark Moon Fairy stopped, her eyes revealing a hint of impatience, and coldly questioned the Blood Shadow who was blocking her way: "What do you want?"
The corners of Xueying's mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile: "After all, we are all employed to protect Luo Lingyue. If something unexpected happens, how can I get in touch with you?"
Dark Moon Fairy sneered and replied disdainfully: "Why should I contact you? We are people in the same industry, so we are destined not to be friends! Don't pester me anymore, otherwise don't blame me for killing you!"
After saying this, she flashed and leaped onto the treetops as lightly as a bird. Then, she jumped several times in the dense woods and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye...
Blood Shadow stood there like a sculpture, with a bitter and helpless smile on his face. He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "How could I forget? Dark Moon Fairy has always been so cold and ruthless! Even though we have worked together so many times, she still has no good feelings towards me and doesn't even give me a good look."
However, in Bloodshadow's heart, Dark Moon Fairy always occupies a special place. Her unique and independent personality deeply attracted him and made him unable to extricate himself. Although she was indifferent to him, he still longed to get close to her and understand her.
However, the reality made Xueying feel extremely frustrated. He noticed that Dark Moon Fairy's attitude towards Xiao Shizi was completely different. She seemed to pay special attention to and favor the weak and sickly man.
This discovery made Xueying feel confused and disappointed. Could it be that Dark Moon Enchantress likes the weak type of men?
Thinking of this, Xueying couldn't help but shake his head, trying to get rid of these troubles in his mind. He jumped and flew down the mountain, and his figure quickly disappeared between the mountains and forests. He decided to put aside this emotional distress for the time being and focus on his mission and responsibility. Maybe one day, he will be able to find the answer, or at least be able to let go of this fruitless relationship.
Just after Dark Moon Fairy and Blood Shadow left the temple, Luo Lingfeng came hurriedly with a group of guards. At this time, Du Heng was supporting Liuli, whose legs were weak from fear, and walking slowly on the rugged mountain road. Linglong led the other girls and followed closely behind them.
When Luo Lingfeng saw that Liuli and Linglong were safe and sound, he finally felt relieved.
He immediately ordered the guards to go and support Liuli, but Liuli was in tears and tightly grasped the corner of Du Heng's clothes, obviously she was frightened.
Du Heng had no choice but to explain to Luo Lingfeng: "Sixth Master Luo, I am Du Heng from the Soul-seeking Sect. This time, I was entrusted by Third Master Luo to escort you all to Jiangnan safely."
Luo Lingfeng nodded his head to show that he understood. Then he said to Du Heng, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Young Master Du to send Liuli back to the inn!"
Du Heng carefully protected Liuli and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid! With me here, no one will dare to hurt you again!"
After everyone returned to the inn, Luo Lingfeng was still a little worried. He once again reminded the guards to make sure the girls arrived safely to their families.
However, at this moment, a secret guard came in a hurry to report: "Prince Xiao is missing!" This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Luo Lingfeng so much that his hands and feet began to go numb. It was indeed what you fear!
After Luo Lingyue learned about this, she was extremely anxious and wanted to find Xiao Jinghan immediately. However, Luo Lingfeng firmly opposed it and said, "No! You must stay in the inn. It's not safe here. Someone, come! Protect the young lady and don't let her step out of the inn!"
After saying that, he turned around and ordered the guards: "Everyone else come with me to find Master Xiao!" Then, Luo Lingfeng quickly left with the guards.
After Luo Lingfeng left, Luo Lingyue did not sit still and wait for death. She used the magic of disguise to transform into Dark Moon Fairy, and carefully slipped out of the window of the inn.
She jumped onto the rooftop lightly and summoned a small snake: "Take me to find him!" Xiao Jinghan had the small snake she gave him, and she always knew that he carried it with him. She hoped that this time it could also be on Xiao Jinghan so that she could find him.
The little snake moved as fast as lightning through the streets of Luoxia Town, and in the blink of an eye it led the Dark Moon Fairy to a deserted courtyard.
The scene in front of them was pitiful. Xiao Jinghan's face was as pale as paper, and he was leaning in the wild grass, like a candle in the wind.
Dark Moon Fairy was extremely anxious and hurried forward to examine him. She gently felt Xiao Jinghan's pulse and carefully examined his body, only to find that he was just fainting.
Without hesitation, Dark Moon Fairy took out a slender silver needle from her bosom and accurately pierced Xiao Jinghan's Hegu, Ren Zhong, Baihui and Shaoshang acupoints one by one.
After a while, Xiao Jinghan finally woke up slowly. He looked at Dark Moon Fairy with a confused look in his eyes, and called out weakly, "Master of Dark Moon Pavilion!"
