Chapter 272 - 267: Heroine and Demoness
Aside from Ye Chongtian’s voice, everything in the grove was terrifyingly silent, indicating that the person hiding had every intention of not letting his family escape. Ye Lingxian and her husband exchanged a glance, readying their hidden weapons.
Including Ji Nan in the carriage also tensed up, clutching the hidden weapon Ye Qiu had just handed him, his little face taut.
"Whoosh!" A hidden arrow flew towards the carriage, which Ye Lingxian cut down with her sword.
Soon, more and more hidden arrows shot out from the woods; Ye Chongtian and Ye Lingxian were hard-pressed to fend off hidden weapons coming from all directions, with many arrows already hitting the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Ye Qiu became more anxious, finding it hard to imagine the trials her mother had undergone in her previous life to escape from this orchestrated assassination.
The hidden assailant did not show himself, giving Ye Lingxian and Ye Chongtian no chance to rest. They eyed each other again, and with understanding, Ye Chongtian moved protectively in front of her. Ye Lingxian quickly pulled a medicine bag from her bosom and lit it before launching it with a hidden weapon, causing smoke to billow instantly.
After firing several arrows into the woods, noises of objects falling could be heard, and the hidden arrows noticeably decreased, finally allowing the pair a moment to breathe.
"That’s somewhat impressive." A gentleman in red clothes with a white face emerged from the woods, holding a folded fan in his hand, his silhouette matching the man who fought Qingyi Pavilion disciples a few days ago on the Martial Arts Arena, but now wearing a different face.
His disguise obviously couldn’t fool Ye Chongtian and Ye Lingxian; they exchanged a glance, and their hearts sank.
"It’s you! Dare I ask why, brother, do you stop us today?" Ye Chongtian asked with a tense face, alert.
