He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Mo Yan seized the opportunity to quietly move to the door, preparing to escape. However, just as he was about to leave, the man in black suddenly turned around, and a sharp dagger pierced his chest.

Mo Yan was shocked and quickly dodged, drawing his sword and engaging in fierce combat with the man in black.

The two moved swiftly through the secret chamber, their swords flashing. Mo Yan, relying on his superior skill and courage, gradually gained the upper hand, ultimately striking the man in black in a vital spot. The man in black fell to the ground, dead.

Mo Yan, panting heavily, looked at the enemy lying on the ground, his heart filled with shock and lingering fear. He knew that this operation had alerted the enemy, and they would face even more severe challenges ahead.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yingying and the young master also encountered various difficulties and challenges. They were chased by men in black, surrounded by the king's soldiers, and even misunderstood and attacked by some uninformed people.

But they did not give up; instead, they became even more determined to uncover the conspiracy.

They continuously gathered evidence, contacted allies, and planned actions, preparing to expose the crimes of the King and the Men in Black at the opportune moment.

However, as time went on, they gradually discovered that the conspiracy was much larger and more complex than they had imagined.

There seems to be some mysterious connection between the king and the man in black; they jointly control a vast dark force. This force has infiltrated every corner of the capital and even threatens the security of the entire nation.

One night, Zhang Yingying and the young man were plotting their operation in a secluded room. Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door. Startled, they quickly drew their weapons and warily watched the doorway.

The door was pushed open, and a man covered in blood rushed in. They looked closely and realized that the person was Mo Yan! His chest was stained red with blood, and he was still tightly clutching a scroll in his hand.

"Mo Yan!" Zhang Yingying and the young man exclaimed in surprise and immediately stepped forward to support the swaying Mo Yan.

"What's wrong? What happened?" the young master asked anxiously.

Mo Yan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying, "I...I discovered their secret...this is their plan..."

As he spoke, he handed the scroll to Zhang Yingying. Zhang Yingying took the scroll and looked at it, finding it covered with complex magic circles and symbols, as well as some characters she couldn't understand.

"This is... the Men in Black's plan?" Zhang Yingying asked in surprise.

“That’s right…” Mo Yan said, panting heavily, “This is the magical attack they are preparing to launch…the target is the entire capital…we must stop them!”

Zhang Yingying and the young master were shocked upon hearing this. They had never imagined that the man in black harbored such ambitions, wanting to destroy the entire capital.

"What should we do now?" the young master asked.

“We must immediately inform the King and the other nobles…” Zhang Yingying said, “to have them strengthen their defenses, and at the same time, we must find a way to thwart the men in black’s plans.”

However, Mo Yan shook his head and said, "No...we can't trust the king...he may have already colluded with the men in black...we can only rely on ourselves..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yingying and the young master felt a sudden chill in their hearts. They knew that Mo Yan was right; the king could no longer be trusted, and now only they could rely on themselves to save the capital and its people.

Just then, hurried footsteps and shouts suddenly came from outside the window. Zhang Yingying and the others immediately tensed up, realizing that the man in black had caught up with them and was coming to the door.

"Quick! Let's escape through the window!" Mo Yan said, struggling to his feet.

Zhang Yingying, the young master, and Mo Yan quickly jumped out of the window and, under the cover of night, weaved through the narrow alleyways. The footsteps of the men in black followed closely, drawing ever closer.

"Split up and run!" Mo Yan suddenly shouted. "That way, it won't be so easy for them to catch up with us."

Without hesitation, Zhang Yingying and the young man immediately separated and fled as Mo Yan had instructed. The men in black were thrown into chaos, unsure which direction to pursue.

Mo Yan seized the opportunity to slip into a dead-end alley and hide behind a pile of abandoned boxes. The man in black quickly caught up to the alley entrance but stopped, seemingly hesitant about whether to go in.

Mo Yan held his breath and waited motionless. After hesitating for a moment, the man in black ultimately did not enter the alley but turned to chase after the others.

Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but also understood that this was only temporary safety. He had to find Zhang Yingying and the young master as soon as possible, and then find a way to thwart the men in black's plan.

At this moment, Zhang Yingying and the young man were hiding in different places. Neither of them knew the other's situation and could only rely on their own wisdom and courage to escape the pursuit of the men in black.

Zhang Yingying hid in a dilapidated house, and as she heard the footsteps of the men in black getting closer, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She knew she couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to find a way to lure the men away.

She looked around and noticed a dilapidated window in the house that led to a small alley behind it. A clever idea struck her. She climbed out the window, deliberately making noise to attract the attention of the men in black.

The men in black were indeed attracted by the noise. Seeing the open window, they assumed Zhang Yingying had escaped and jumped in to give chase. Zhang Yingying, however, took the opportunity to escape through another path.

The young man hid in the kitchen of a restaurant. He watched the men in black searching the area and felt uneasy. He knew he couldn't stay there forever; he had to find a way to leave.

He looked around and noticed a passageway leading from the kitchen to the back. He followed the passageway and found himself at the back of the restaurant. He saw a horse tied to a tree, immediately mounted it, and rode away.

The men in black, having found no trace of the young master, continued their search of the tavern. The young master rode his horse swiftly through the night, feeling slightly more at ease.

Zhang Yingying, the young master, and Mo Yan are all hiding in different places, trying to shake off the men in black. However, the men in black have not given up the pursuit and have sent more people to search the capital.

As dawn broke, the danger did not diminish. On the contrary, the men in black seemed even more frenzied, continuously creating chaos and panic throughout the capital.

Zhang Yingying and the others knew they couldn't continue hiding like this; they had to find each other and reunite. Only then would they have enough strength to fight the men in black and thwart their plans.

However, finding each other in this dangerous and intriguing capital city will not be easy. They can only rely on their own wisdom and courage to find each other and escape the pursuit of the men in black.

Just then, Mo Yan suddenly thought of a solution. He had seen a map in the palace that marked all the important locations and passageways in the capital. If he could find that map, they could use the markings to find each other and reunite.

So he decided to risk sneaking into the palace to find the map. He knew it was an extremely dangerous mission, but it was their only hope.

Under the cover of night, Mo Yan sneaked into the palace, evading the patrolling soldiers and the spies in black, and finally arrived at the room where he had seen the map before.

However, instead of finding a map in the room, he discovered a shocking secret—the Men in Black's plan had already been launched ahead of schedule!
He saw streaks of light from magical arrays appearing in the sky outside the window—a harbinger of the black-clad men's magical attack. He knew he had to act immediately, or the entire kingdom would be destroyed by their magic.

Mo Yan was extremely anxious, knowing he had to find Zhang Yingying and the young master as soon as possible and then try to thwart the men in black's plan. But time was running out, and he didn't know if he could find them in time and stop the men in black's attack.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. Mo Yan was startled and immediately hid in the shadows of a corner. The door was pushed open, and the man in black walked in. Seeing that the room was empty, he seemed somewhat disappointed.

“They must have escaped,” one of the men in black said. “Let’s keep chasing them.”

As they spoke, they turned to leave the room. Just then, Mo Yan suddenly burst from the shadows, thrusting his sword at one of the men in black. Caught off guard by Mo Yan's sudden attack, the men in black were thrown into disarray. Mo Yan seized the opportunity to engage them in fierce combat; his sword flashed, each swing claiming the life of a man in black.

However, the men in black were numerous and quickly reacted, launching an attack on Mo Yan. Mo Yan fought back fiercely, but knew he couldn't hold out for long.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats and shouts suddenly came from outside the window. Zhang Yingying and the young nobleman rode into the palace and saw Mo Yan being surrounded by men in black. They immediately drew their weapons and rushed over.

"We're here to help you!" Zhang Yingying shouted.

The man in black was also surprised to see Zhang Yingying and the young man rushing over, not expecting the three of them to meet at this time.

However, they did not give up, but instead attacked Mo Yan and his companions even more frantically. A fierce battle unfolded in the palace, with both sides fighting with all their might to defeat the other.

Mo Yan and his companions fought valiantly against the attacks of the men in black, their figures moving swiftly through the palace, each sword strike claiming the life of a man in black. However, the men in black were numerous and powerful, and they quickly found themselves in a predicament.

The battle continued in the palace, with the men in black launching increasingly fierce attacks, seemingly aiming to defeat Mo Yan and his companions in one fell swoop.

However, Mo Yan, Zhang Yingying, and the young master stood back to back, forming a solid defensive line that prevented the men in black from easily breaking through.

"This won't do!" Mo Yan gritted his teeth, swung his sword to block an attack from one of the men in black, then turned and kicked another man in black away. "We have to find a way to break through, otherwise we'll be worn down here sooner or later."

“You’re right!” Zhang Yingying shouted. “We must break out, find the king, expose his conspiracy, and get him to send troops to support us.”

The young master nodded, swung his longsword, and killed a black-clad man who attempted to ambush him: "I'll cover you, you guys rush out first."

Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying exchanged a glance and nodded. Then, the two of them rushed towards the weakest point of the men in black, one on the left and one on the right.

The young master remained where he was, brandishing his longsword and engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black.

The men in black attacked more and more fiercely, and the young master was injured in many places, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to buy Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying a chance to escape.

At this moment, Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying had broken out of the encirclement of the men in black and were running towards the palace gate.

However, just as they were about to escape the palace, a powerful magical light descended from the sky, blocking their path.

"Oh no! It's a magic attack from the man in black!" Mo Yan exclaimed, pulling Zhang Yingying behind him and then wielding his sword to block the magic attack.

However, the power of the magical attack was too great. Mo Yan felt a huge force strike him, and he was thrown out and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Mo Yan!" Zhang Yingying exclaimed, immediately running to Mo Yan's side and helping him up. "Are you alright?"

Mo Yan shook his head and struggled to stand up: "I'm fine, we need to get out of here as soon as possible."

However, the men in black had already surrounded them again, completely encircling them.

Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying stood back to back, warily watching the men in black around them.

“You can’t escape today!” a man in black sneered. “The king has ordered that all three of you be executed.”

"Hmph! If you want our lives, let's see if you have the ability!" Mo Yan sneered, then swung his sword and charged towards the man in black.

An even fiercer battle ensued, with Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying engaging in a life-or-death struggle with the men in black.

They had multiple injuries, but they persisted and did not give up.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the young master was also engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

His injuries were getting worse, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, buying time for Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying.

However, the number of men in black was simply too great, seemingly endless, and they kept surging forward.

Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying gradually found themselves overwhelmed and increasingly unable to withstand the attacks from the men in black.

Just when they were about to give up, suddenly a deafening roar of battle cries and the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the palace gates.

An army rushed in and surrounded the men in black.

"It's the king's army!" Zhang Yingying exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally received their rescue.

However, they did not know whether the army had come to rescue them or to carry out the king's order to silence them.

The army quickly engaged in fierce fighting with the men in black, and Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying also took the opportunity to join the battle.

With the help of the army, they quickly defeated all the men in black.

After the battle, the army leader came over and bowed to Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying: "I apologize for startling you. We are here to rescue you."

Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying exchanged a smile, finally relieved of the great burden on their hearts.

They knew they were finally safe.

However, just as they were about to leave the palace, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows and pounced on them.

Mo Yan reacted quickly, pulling Zhang Yingying behind him and then wielding his sword to knock the figure away.

"It's you!" Mo Yan exclaimed, recognizing the figure as the leader of the men in black who had fought with them before.

"Do you think you've won just like that?" the leader of the men in black sneered. "The king's conspiracy hasn't been fully exposed yet, so you can't leave."

As he spoke, he launched another fierce attack on Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying.

Mo Yan and Zhang Yingying immediately engaged in battle, launching a final duel against the leader of the men in black. (End of Chapter)
