Marquis Rongâgong started to fill in the gaps himself, stringing these events together, and thought he had figured out the answer.
However.
Precisely because of this.
Marquis Rongâgongâs expression grew even more grim.
This one incident nearly cost him his life. If the other side has accomplices, then the next time they come, it might not just be one person.
No way!
Having such a group of enemies lurking in the dark, always ready to kill himâitâs far too dangerous.
If I had known, I shouldâve been even more ruthless then and killed everyone involved.
Too bad, itâs too late for regrets now.
"My lord, should we keep pursuing?"
The guards by Marquis Rongâgongâs side started to hesitate as well.
Just like Feng Feiyi said, if the enemy really has accomplices, who knows what dangers might lie ahead if they keep chasing.
"Hmph! What are you afraid of!"
Marquis Rongâgong wasnât stupidâof course he knew why these men were hesitating.
He gave a cold snort.
Then Marquis Rongâgong said gruffly,
"Didnât you see the fireworks just now? Thatâs the signal to notify the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Theyâll be here soon. Keep chasing and donât let them escapeâthe Embroidered Uniform Guard will take care of them when they arrive!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would be coming,
they only needed to make sure these people didnât get away.
All the guards looked a bit more reassured, no longer hesitating. They continued to pursue in the direction Feng Feiyi had escaped.

At the same time!
The disciples of the Illusion Sound Sect also began thinking about retreat.
The mission had completely failed. Now, everyone was focused on how to save themselves.
"Senior Brother, help me!"
Some of the weaker ones were totally panicked by now, only thinking of running to Feng Wu for help!
"Get lost!"
But.
Feng Wu himself was already extremely troubled and had no time for anyone else.
He kicked away someone who approached him, and immediately vanished from the spot.
At times like these, whoever runs slow suffers.
Feng Wu didnât care in the slightest about the lives of the others.
"Senior Brother Feng Wu ran away! Everybody run for your lives!"
"No! Please donât kill me!"
They had been so confident at first, but now they were in utter disarray.
Seeing this,
the Fifth Grade mages in the delegation led the others to hunt down the Illusion Sound Sect disciples.
When they were first attacked, theyâd felt stifled. Now that they had the chance, of course they wanted payback for that humiliation.
"After them!"
"Yes, sir!"
Some were killed on the spot, some were captured alive,
but a few managed to escape, including one disciple of the Illusion Sound Sect who bolted in panic. His expression was a bit dazed at first.
But in the next instant, his eyes flashed blank, then instantly became grave and resolute, and he suddenly changed directions, heading west out of the city!
"Success!"
Shu Fan and Ye Qinzhen, who should have left by now, were standing not far away.
Having just tested her magic and controlled this person, Shu Fan raised her brows at Ye Qinzhen with a triumphant look.
Piece of cake.
"Sister Shu Fan, you really are amazing!"
Ye Qinzhen couldnât help exclaiming.
"Youâve really mastered the Mind Confusion Magic."
She herself could use Mind Confusion Magic, but was nowhere near Shu Fanâs levelâcontrolling someone instantly, without them even realizing it.
In fact, if you werenât watching closely,
an outsider wouldnât notice at all that this person had been manipulated.
"Nothing special. Learn a bit more in the future and youâll be able to do it too!"
Shu Fan waved her hand nonchalantly.
If Ye Qinzhen wanted to learn, Shu Fan wouldnât mind teaching her one bit.
---
"Go after them!"
Meanwhile,
the Fifth Grade mage in the delegation also noticed this steady, running figure, who stood out sharply against the other fleeing, panicked ones.
It was as if the person knew exactly where to run to stay alive.
Could there be an accomplice?
Thinking this, he frowned, then led the other delegates in pursuit.
Seeing the delegates chasing one assassin,
the guards didnât pay it any mind, focusing on capturing the rest.
After all, these were merits to be claimed.
Who knows,
maybe this time, not only would they avoid punishment, they might even be rewarded.
With that thought, each guardâs attacks grew fiercer.
The distance between the west and east of the city wasnât exactly short, but for Martial Artists, it could be covered quickly.
Feng Feiyi checked the time.
He realized it was about time. He already had a blind faith in Ye Liuyunâs planâ
just felt that as long as he followed Ye Liuyunâs instructions, he was guaranteed success.
After a short while,
calculating the time,
Feng Feiyi suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Marquis Rongâgong, my helpers are here. If you keep chasing, youâll be heading straight to your death!"
He shouted this toward Marquis Rongâgong, then suddenly pushed his Qinggong to the limit. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from Marquis Rongâgongâs sight.
That was Feng Feiyiâs true speed.
The weakness he showed earlier was just to keep Marquis Rongâgong and his men from being left behind too soon.
