It was already too late for Nalan Rongjun and the others to conceal themselves. Following a gust of wind, a row of masked men dressed all in black appeared in front of them.

As the crown prince, Nalan Rongjun could be considered to have both martial and literary skills, but in order to avoid detection, he only brought a few trusted aides along with him, and the opponent was a well-trained assassin, with every move wanting to put him to death.

Nalan Rongjun resisted with all his might, but he was still not a match for the majority of them. Very quickly, he lost some of his strength, and his injuries gradually increased. A long blade slashed at Nalan Rongjun, borrowing the moonlight to reflect a cold light.

Nalan Rongjun was fighting with another person, and did not even manage to dodge with all his might. Seeing that the blade was already right in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

He suddenly thought of his childhood sweetheart. That feeling of loving but not wanting made him crazy. It was also from that day onwards that he wanted the throne. Only by obtaining it would he be able to get everything he wanted!

Unfortunately, everything still ended. Nalan Rongjun closed his eyes in despair, preparing to face death.

But after a few seconds, before the blade could land on his head, he opened his eyes and saw another group of people already fighting with the black clothed man, and they even had the upper hand.

Nalan Rongjun no longer had the mind to guess who exactly would be helping him. He could only cover the bleeding wounds on her body, and climbed onto the horse with all his might, taking advantage of the night to escape this place.

Very quickly, the first group of black-clothed men were exterminated, the leader looked at the direction Nalan Rongjun was escaping in, and led his men to quickly chase up.

He wanted to persevere and return to the Capital, but she was still waiting for him. However, her body was getting weaker and weaker, and his vision started to blur, following the bumpy movements of the horse, he fell from his horse into the village and became unconscious after closing his eyes.

"Over there!" The people who came to search for him quickly found traces of him.

The leader stepped forward to test Nalan Rongjun's breath, then let out a long sigh: "He's still alive!"

Thus, he put Nalan Rongjun on the horse and took advantage of the night to rush back to the Profound Leaf City. After entering the city through the side door, everyone dispersed and after going around in a few circles, they finally returned to a mansion through a small door.

It was actually Nalan Rongxuan's Duke Palace!

Seeing that they had returned, Yue Luoxue hurried over to welcome them. "How's the situation?"

Xi Feng and Wei Ling held onto the still unconscious Nalan Rongjun: "Still breathing."

"Bring it in!" Yue Luoxue led them to carry Nalan Rongjun to the pharmacy and placed his hand on his pulse. Although he had lost a lot of blood, his internal organs were not injured.

"Wei Ling, bandage him." Seeing that Yue Luoxue was about to rip off Nalan Rongjun's clothes, Nalan Rongxuan immediately pulled her over to his side and instructed her.

How could he let his woman touch the crown prince? He couldn't take it, he definitely couldn't stand it!

Yue Luoxue did not object, and asked: "What do you plan to do next?"

Nalan Ronglang's attack did not hit, but he was afraid that there would be other tricks, and Nalan Rongxuan would send people to save the crown prince, which was something Yue Luoxue did not expect, he thought that Nalan Rongxuan would choose to fight and reap the benefits.

Nalan Rongxuan's gaze fell on Nalan Rongjun's body. Originally, he thought that this was natural, but after seeing his own brothers kill each other, he still found it a little hard to bear.

He knew about the things that Yue Luoxue was worried about, and he didn't feel that he was great. Letting the crown prince stay was just for Nalan Ronglang to leave another opponent.

Thinking about the news that came from the palace today, Nalan Rongxuan had a premonition that the curtains on his and Nalan Ronglang's seizure would be drawn very soon.

On the other side, inside Nalan Ronglang's secret room, a person was anxiously walking around. Logically speaking, the people he sent should be back by now, they were all top class experts, how hard could it be to deal with the crown prince and a few soldiers?

Suddenly, outside of the window, there was a short and long knock on the door. Nalan Ronglang hurriedly opened the secret door, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked anxiously: "Has the mission been completed?"

"I failed." The person who came was Nalan Ronglang's bodyguard, Yu Chi. Because there was no news of the killer that he had sent out, Nalan Ronglang sent him over to investigate.

Thinking about the 20 assassins they sent out, all of them were killed, Chi Guda felt a tinge of anger, "Brothers... All dead! "

"What?" Nalan Ronglang's eyes widened in shock. There was a clear message from the South Peak Palace that the crown prince only brought three followers when he left. No matter how strong his cultivation was, it was impossible for him to kill so many top-notch experts!

Unless someone helped him!

What he said next confirmed his guess, "This subordinate has checked the scene. There should be another group of people appearing."

The fight was intense. All the followers of the crown prince were hacked to death. He examined them carefully and found that their cultivations were not bad. However, the crown prince was not among the corpses.

He found a row of bloodstains at the scene. It should have been left behind by someone when they escaped after being injured. The bloodstains extended for a long distance before suddenly stopping somewhere. It seemed like they were rescued by someone.

Nalan Ronglang took a deep breath, his gaze filled with complex emotions. His plan was obviously this thorough, and who exactly was it that actually knew about all of this ahead of time and even saved the crown prince? Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that those people wanted the crown prince as well.

This person was hiding in the dark, it was simply impossible for him to guard against. Who could it be?

Nalan Rongxuan's face that was as warm as jade suddenly appeared in his mind. Nalan Ronglang was a little hesitant, could it be … Was Nalan Rongxuan's strength really at an unfathomable level?

"One pool, go and ask the people monitoring the King Xuan Palace if there's anything abnormal tonight! "You should keep an eye on him for the next few days. No matter what happens, report it to me!"

Nalan Ronglang didn't know why he would think of Nalan Rongxuan right away, even though he couldn't understand why Nalan Rongxuan would save the crown prince.

Tomorrow morning, he would enter the palace. No matter where the crown prince was right now, he would leave the Nantan Palace without authorization.

Just based on this rule, the emperor would be furious. When the time came, he would see how he would protect the crown prince in front of the officials of the civil and military forces!

However, what Nalan Ronglang, who was scheming, did not know was that not far from the secret room, a pair of eyes was watching them attentively.
