# 364. The Yao Army Crosses the Border
The white-robed woman, whose beauty could overthrow cities, smiled faintly. “Why don’t you try finding where the Zhenbei King carried out his ‘Blood runs three thousand miles’ massacre?”
The man with the indistinct face shook his head helplessly. “These past few days, I’ve scoured every corner of Chuzhou, reading the flow of Qi, but I still haven’t found the site of the Zhenbei King’s slaughter. Yet heaven’s will tells me it lies within Chuzhou.”
The white-robed woman’s seductive demeanor receded, her long, straight brows knitting slightly in contemplation.
“He’s racing against us for time. Once the essence blood is fully refined, it will be impossible to stop him. By then, the only way to halt the Zhenbei King’s ascension to second rank will be to kill Mu Nanzhi. But since Mu Nanzhi is traveling with that boy, it’ll be up to you Arcanists to handle it. Hah, earning the grudge of someone with great fortune is terrible for one’s own.”
She paused, then added, “By the way, do you think the Jianzheng is aware of the Zhenbei King’s plot? If so, why does he seem indifferent? I’m beginning to suspect that Mu Nanzhi traveling with Xu Qi’an is due to the Jianzheng’s silent manipulation.”
The white-robed man sneered. “You can keep guessing. The moment you deduce his plan, heaven’s secrets will respond, and the Jianzheng will appear in Chuzhou. I can always find a way to escape, but as for you... well, you can say goodbye to that pretty fox tail of yours.”
The woman was clearly apprehensive and refrained from mentioning the Jianzheng further.
“Three days,” she mused, “we have three days to locate the site of the Zhenbei King’s massacre, or everything will be irreversible.”
