Cheng Jinyun was pushed to the ground by some invisible force. There was something heavily pressing on her, pinning her to the spot.
It seemed the time of this world had been frozen, leaving only her mind racing.
This was like being swept into the lake at the palace back then.
Ming Shu appeared, one hand holding a tree vine. Under the disbelieving gaze of the master, Ming Shu kicked Cheng Jinyun's weapon away and tied her up with a smile, following up with a fierce beating.
Unbelievable. I owe another complete Manchu-Han feast now because of her.
She deserves a much fiercer beating , Ming Shu complained to herself.
Cheng Jinyun felt sore all over her body and could only glare at the woman in front of her. The most unfortunate thing after her rebirth was meeting Ming Shu.
She was like her born enemy.
Everything, as long as she was involved in it, would go wrong.
"Shen Ci, do you dare to fight me alone!" Cheng Jinyun struggled against the vine and shouted at Ming Shu angrily, "What kind of hero are you, to use a sneak attack!"
Just now she was almost able to kill the Heavenly Temple's master and complete her own master's entrusted task.
"No." Ming Shu shook her head and smiled. "I'm not as powerful as you, and I don't have the boldness to fight you alone. As for the sneak attack... I learned from you, don't you know that? So, Miss Cheng, what kind of hero are you, then?"
Cheng Jinyun was speechless.
"Little Ci..." The master felt Ming Shu was so strange in that moment. He didn't know her; it seemed she was not the little girl from his memory.
Ming Shu looked up and smiled again. "Master, watch your back."
Her face was so familiar but the look on it was so unfamiliar. The master became absentminded for a moment, and he seemed to have blocked out Ming Shu's reminder.
The evil spirits had broken through the Heavenly Temple's defensive line, carrying a variety of weapons and flooding toward them.
A killing atmosphere spread everywhere.
Ming Shu put her hand to her forehead, speechless. It looks like I have to commit suicide.
"Stop!"
The evil spirits stopped at the same time this voice spoke.
And the others also stopped the fight in turn, including Huo Hu.
Huo Hu then quickly retreated to the cave from before, kneeling down on one leg respectfully and fearfully. "Lord King."
And then all the evil spirits kneeled down to repeat the words loudly: "Lord King." Their voices spread across the mountains.
The cave remained very quiet and no other evil spirit appeared. But the aura emanating from the cave made everyone feel uncomfortable.
They all thought Huo Hu was the evil spirit king. Who knew that there was another, more powerful evil spirit king in the cave.
And the voice of this "Lord King"...
Sounded very familiar!
"The prince?" Ming Shu and the master said simultaneously. The voice coming out of this cave belonged to none other but the missing prince.
This prince is really funny... He would rather come here to be an evil spirit than the noble son of the emperor.
In the cave, a man wearing a bloody cloak slowly emerged from the darkness. For every step he took, it seemed a blood lotus bloomed under his foot, with a majestic air of evil spreading outward.
