Chapter 357: Yan Lin is in Danger

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Yan Lin is in Danger

Although the Shenxiao Guards were trained by grandfather.

But since they cannot be used by her, then there was only one option... death!

Surrounded by the stench of blood, she was like a female Asura from hell.

Zhu Yinian had not even seen clearly how she moved.

She was actually mingled with the figures of the Shenxiao Guards.

Just now they could not distinguish between friend and foe; now if they could not discern you from me, they must be Shenxiao Guards.

Chu Baihan moved like a ghost among them, killing without form.

This move to kill severely depleted her Inner Strength, but she did not care.

All she wanted to do now was kill.

The thing she hated the most was when others threatened her with the people she cared about.

Even knowing it was an Illusion Realm, she couldn’t bear to see him suffer in it.

The sound of bodies bursting kept coming.

When a roar stopped, everyone saw Chu Baihan standing atop a pile of corpses.

Her cheeks were covered in fresh blood, dripping down drop by drop.

The ground underfoot was like a field of carnage.

Even Ziyi and others who were accustomed to slaughter were stunned at this moment.

Shi Jing and Zhu Yinian stood rigidly, their eyes complex as they looked at Chu Baihan.

Her sword seemed as if it was soaked with fresh blood.

Others, upon seeing this scene, would only feel terror.

But they actually felt a mix of pity and indignation.

The Princess Residence must have been like this on the battlefield as well.

In order to protect those behind her, she had turned herself into a wrathful deity.

But she was just an ordinary person after all.

In this world, who could really be a savior?

All there was were merely flesh and blood individuals walking ahead.

Just now, the Princess Residence must have also entered the Illusion Realm.

The person in the Illusion Realm must be very important to the Princess Residence, right?

Zhu Yinian muttered to himself.

"Princess Residence, how are you now?"

Everyone quickly drew closer to that side.

They did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of startling her.

Chu Baihan looked down at the corpses on the ground with her dense eyelashes trembling slightly, feeling bitter inside.

"The Death Soldiers grandfather raised to protect Nanduan Kingdom haven’t died at the hands of the enemy but were killed by their own people instead," she said with a bitter laugh.

"Princess Residence, it’s not your fault," Shi Jing immediately said, comforting her.

But Chu Baihan quickly shook her head, "You don’t need to worry, I’m not someone who can’t see clearly. They only obey the master of the Shenxiao Order, which now belongs to our enemy. If it’s not them dying, it’s us perishing."

"The Shenxiao Order should be in the hands of Prince Xu. So, has he fled here now?"

Shi Jing frowned and muttered.

"That’s possible. Ziyi, check," Chu Baihan lifted her eyes and coldly instructed Ziyi.

"Yes." Ziyi quickly went to attend to this matter.

"Take General Zhu to be treated for his injuries," Chu Baihan looked at Zhu Yinian, then ordered Yan Lian.

It was only then that Yan Lian noticed Zhu Yinian was also covered in blood.

Almost all of the blood on Chu Baihan’s body belonged to others, but the blood on Zhu Yinian was all his own.

He was already feeling a bit dizzy from blood loss.

Seeing Yan Lian approaching, he nodded appreciatively, "Thank you for your trouble, Ninth Prince."

Soon, only Chu Baihan and Shi Jing were left.

"Do you have something to entrust to us?"

Shi Jing was no fool; seeing that Chu Baihan had sent everyone away, he guessed the gist of it.

"I suspect that their target this time is not Nanduan Kingdom, but... Yan Lin," Chu Baihan said with a grave tone.

What?

Shi Jing’s expression changed drastically.

"Princess, you mean to say that Beihai Country and Dongli Country are joining forces to attack us, actually to deal with Yan Lin? Do you have any evidence?"

He spoke in a subdued voice.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Chu Baihan, but the assertion... Indeed, it was shockingly unbelievable.

Those two countries were going to such lengths only to target Yan Lin?

Now, Yan Country was basically under Yan Lin’s complete control. If they wanted to deal with Yan Lin, couldn’t they simply attack Yan Country directly?

Yan Country had just recovered from internal strife and was very weak; they could easily take advantage of the situation.

"Intuition," Chu Baihan shook her head.

She had that kind of intuition.

Initially, it was just an idea in her mind, but after experiencing that Illusion Realm, she became even more certain of her guess.

She looked at Shi Jing and then recounted the incident in the Illusion Realm.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jing’s eyes revealed a trace of bitterness.

He spoke softly, "Princess, usually when someone enters an Illusion Realm, it evokes their deepest fears. Perhaps, in your heart, Yan Lin occupies an incredibly important place, which is why you saw such a vision. But this isn’t a reason to claim that those two countries are targeting Yan Lin."

"To my knowledge, the Shenxiao Guards are skilled in martial arts, but they do not employ the methods of illusion realms. There must be someone else behind this, working with them..."

Chu Baihan shook her head; her expression was extremely solemn.

The events they had recently encountered, one after another, were filled with eeriness. She couldn’t allow the people she cared about to fall into danger.

"Shi Jing, I want to ask a favor of you."

Chu Baihan looked at Shi Jing with pleading eyes.

This was the first time, during this period, that she had spoken to him in such a conciliatory tone.

However, Shi Jing couldn’t feel happy about it at all.

Because he could predict that the favor she was about to ask related to Yan Lin.

But looking at her anxious and concerned gaze, the words of refusal he had on his lips were swallowed back, eventually turning into a simple, "Okay."

"This is an organization I’ve established in Jianghu over the years. They have significant strength and are mostly assembled in Tongzhou now. I need you to take these people and find Yan Lin, to ensure his safety," Chu Baihan said urgently, her voice trembling.

Looking at the Token in his hand, Shi Jing felt as if the palm of his hand were being scorched; his heart felt heavy, as if pressed down by a massive stone.

"Princess, I am a General, here to protect the citizens of Tongzhou. Now, if I go to rescue Yan Lin instead, where does that leave the people of Tongzhou?" he asked indifferently, feigning coldness.

He knew that Chu Baihan had the people of Nanduan Kingdom in her heart, and, out of a despicable motive, he wanted to make her feel troubled.

But to his surprise, she was very determined: "My mission is indeed to protect the people of Nanduan Kingdom, and I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life for them. But Yan Lin, Jingjing, Xixi, and my Royal Brother are people who are more important to me than my own life. So, Shi Jing, you know what my choice is."

Shi Jing pressed his lips together, feeling a stab of pain in his chest, but then... He felt a sense of release.

They were so important; how could he compete with them?

"The reason I’m imploring you to personally rescue him is that your strategies and martial arts are both outstanding; your chance of saving him is greater. I cannot abandon the people of Tongzhou. Otherwise... it would be me personally going to save him," Chu Baihan spoke again, firmly.

Shi Jing could clearly see her stance.

This was her way of not failing the people nor Yan Lin...

But what about him?

Forget it; he was her subordinate, the Prince Consort in charge of protecting the Princess Residence, and this was his duty as well.

Taking a deep breath and sweeping away the last bit of reluctance in his heart, Shi Jing’s gaze became determined, "Princess, rest assured, unless I’m dead, I will bring him back to you!"
