Relying on the topographic map and the information from the Silver Wing Palace spies, Xiao Lintian and Huangfulin took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the courtyard where Huangfu Mingzhu was imprisoned.

Although there were nearly ten guards in the yard, Xiao Lintian and Huangfulin were both masters, and with the cooperation of Pei Yu and the others, they were able to successfully defeat the guards.

Xuemei and a maid heard the commotion and just wanted to escape with Huangfu Mingzhu, but Huangfulin blocked their way.

"Palace...Palace Master...I didn't harm the little Palace Master...I have always tried my best to take care of her!"

Xuemei stammered: "She bled twice, and I used your pills to cure her, but this time I ran out of medicine!"

Huangfulin didn't know how many pills he was missing, he shouted sternly: "Put down the pearl, I will give you a whole body, otherwise you can't blame me for being ruthless!"

Huangfu Mingzhu was tightly held by Xuemei lifelessly, and she didn't even feel Huangfulin's arrival.

Huangfulin didn't know what happened to his precious daughter, so he pointed his sword at Hanmei anxiously.

"Have you heard what I said? Put down the pearl immediately!"

Before Xuemei could say anything, the maid next to her shouted: "Sister Xuemei, we are going to die no matter what. Why don't we kill this little girl first? It's worth having her buried with us!"

Huangfulin's eyes widened, and before the maid could say another word, he waved his sword and Xuemei saw a flash of white light, and the little maid's head and body were separated immediately.

The splattered blood immediately splashed all over Xuemei's face, and the warm feeling frightened Xuemei to the point that she almost knelt down.

But thinking of the little maid's words, Xuemei instinctively took Huangfu Mingzhu and took a few steps back.

"Palace Master, if you let me go, I will hand over the little Palace Master, otherwise I... I will die with her!"

Xuemei grabbed Huangfu Mingzhu's slender neck with one hand and said sternly: "I am not a slave of the palace at all. It was the Linghu family who killed my parents and snatched me up the mountain to be a slave!"

"I can't kill anyone from the Linghu family. Killing your daughter is just to avenge my parents!"

"One life for another. The hatred of my parents is worth the crime of kidnapping your daughter. Why don't you agree to let me go?"

Huangfulin wanted to take action, but Xuemei protected the pearl in front of him, so he was not sure that his action would not hurt the pearl.

Huangfulin was anxious when he saw a figure passing behind Xuemei, it was Xiao Lintian!

Xiao Lintian has finished taking care of the guards and is here to help!

Huangfulin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be angry and shouted: "Put Mingzhu down. As long as she is fine, I will let you go!"

"Xuemei, if you dare to hurt Mingzhu, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and cut you into pieces!"

As soon as Xuemei saw Huangfulin compromising, she hugged Mingzhu and backed away.

"Don't chase her. I'll put her down when I get out of this door!"

Xuemei looked at Huangfulin warily while carefully retreating towards the courtyard door.

Huangfulin looked like he wanted to chase but didn't dare.

"Huangfulin, you have no chance to chase me!"

Xuemei was secretly proud when she saw that Huangfulin didn't come after her. She sneered and said, "I know you had no choice but to let me go today, and you will definitely take revenge on me later!"

"But you really don't have time to chase me. You should take Huangfu Mingzhu back to the shrine and have a look. Your shrine may have changed hands!"

"Hahaha......"

Before Xuemei's smile started, she suddenly felt a cold feeling behind her ears, and then a pain...

There's someone behind you!

Xuemei wanted to turn her head to see who had plotted against her, but she fainted softly just after turning halfway.
