“Qian Jiyun, you must have something good since you managed to come here. Hand it over, and I’ll spare your life.” Ming Fucheng did not ask the shadow guards to attack for the time being. Instead, he offered a negotiating hand to Qian Jiyun.
Qian Jiyun was confused. So Ming Fucheng wanted not only to kill him but also to take his possessions?
“I do have many things, but are you worthy of having them?” he asked Ming Fucheng, raising his eyebrows.
“You—” Ming Fucheng was furious. How could this person dare be so arrogant in his territory?
“Qian Jiyun, do you know where you are? This is Yueming Empire! You’ll die here if you offend me!” he threatened.
“This is the border between Yueming Empire and Zhanling Empire. It’s an unclaimed territory. Do you not know that?” Qian Jiyun asked Ming Fucheng.
“Or do you think you already have the Zhanling Empire’s borders in your pocket without having won the war? Ming Fucheng, have some dignity. Don’t be so shameless and think you’re so amazing.”
“You—I‘ Ming Fucheng was rendered speechless.
He had forgotten that Qian Jiyun had the sharpest tongue of anyone in Huayan
“Qian Jiyun, you really don’t know what’s good for you. In that case, don’t
blame me for being rude.” He gritted his teeth and raised his hand. With a wave of his hand, the shadow guards charged towards Qian Jiyun.
Of course, they were only pretending to charge at Qian Jiyun. Their real target was An Jiuyue, whom he was protecting.
As Ming Fucheng had stated, women were easier to deal with than men. It was only natural that they wanted to capture An Jiuyue first.
“Just the few of you?”
It was not that Qian Jiyun looked down on these shadow guards because he was arrogant. He genuinely did not take them seriously.
However, disregarding them did not mean he had to kill them all. He had more important things to do. Hence, he turned around and exchanged glances with An Jiuyue.
In perfect sync, they ran to the left and slipped away from Ming Fucheng.
“You…”
Ming Fucheng was caught off guard. He had never expected someone like Qian Jiyun to flee at the last minute without giving him a chance to capture him.
“What are you pieces of trash doing? They’ve already escaped! Chase after them!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The leader of the shadow guards was momentarily stunned. He only snapped back to attention when he heard his master’s command.
It was his first time seeing someone flee without even exchanging blows. More importantly, it was the first time he had seen anyone dare to run away from him in Yueming Empire.
He never expected this at all!
He was about to raise his hand to command the other shadow guards to chase after them when he heard his master continue, “Wait, send someone to head back and bring backup. The rest of us will chase after them and leave markers along the way!”
Ming Fucheng was determined to obtain Qian Jiyun’s artifact. Hence, he had to strengthen his manpower just in case.
He did not want to fail to obtain the artifact because he did not have enough manpower!
“Yes, Master.”
The leader of the shadow guards accepted his commands and sent a shadow guard to gather backup. Meanwhile, he followed Ming Fucheng to chase after Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue..
