There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Not long ago, Tianze himself thought that it was perfectly safe to keep the mother Gu of eternal love in his possession.

In the end, it was still stolen.

By sealing off the village and diverting Yan Lingji's attention, the possibility of the other party coming into contact with the Eternal Bond Gu is reduced, thus adding an extra layer of protection.

Upon hearing Tianze's instructions, the village chief was filled with horror.

Belatedly, he finally realized what plan had been exposed that had enraged Tianze so much.

The main point is that kid Mo...

Could it be that the other party stormed up to Tianze, who was heavily protected, and forcibly took away the mother Gu? This reckless act seems like something the other party would do.

But how is that possible?!

Not to mention that His Highness Tianze himself is a master of the Innate Realm, even the trusted guards he brought with him are all elites, and they are top-notch experts in the martial arts world.

There is also the leader of the Hidden Witches secretly protecting them.

Who could possibly snatch the mother Gu away under such circumstances? And judging from Tianze's disheveled appearance covered in blood, it was probably stolen.

Instead, it was forcibly taken away after he was beaten up.

Who could possess such unreasonable power?

That kid Mo?!

Are you kidding me?!

The village chief was filled with disbelief and had no idea that Tianze, lured by the treasure of Huoyu Manor, would run away in the middle of the night to attend the meeting alone.

Tianze, of course, would not offer an explanation.

Leaving aside the fact that it concerns the treasure of Fire Rain Manor, Tianze couldn't possibly explain in detail how he had been beaten so badly by an opponent whose strength was far inferior to his own.

If he could, he would have loved to say that he was surrounded by an army of 100,000.

There was no trust between them.

There was no mutual understanding or tacit agreement.

Both sides, each with their own ulterior motives, barely maintained their cooperative relationship and continued to implement their already fragmented schemes and plots.

Chapter 76 Why is it that none of you dare to step forward?

"Lord Yan, it's getting late."

Just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the guards beside her urged her on, causing Yan Lingji to furrow her brows slightly.

"So anxious? Only one night has passed, why is your attitude completely different?"

She looked at the man who had accompanied her on the visit to the neighboring village the day before. His expression and tone were as gentle as ever, but she couldn't help but feel a growing sense of doubt in her heart.

He came to find her before dawn, saying that the neighboring village had changed its mind and wanted to form an alliance.

This was naturally exciting news, but the atmosphere in the village seemed strangely eerie, not even giving Yan Lingji a chance to understand the situation.

They were urging us to leave immediately, as if it were a matter of life and death.

"According to the scouts, they were attacked by a small group of South Korean troops last night and suffered heavy losses. This trip will not only require us to conclude an alliance, but we will also probably have to help them defend against foreign enemies."

"If that's the case, why not bring Wushuang along?"

Yan Lingji glanced at the guards around her. If that was the case, it would explain why so many elites had been mobilized. However, she did not see any familiar figures, which made her uneasy.

"It would be difficult to conceal and might alert the South Korean army."

The reason given by the other party left Yan Lingji speechless. With Wushuang Gui's height of over ten feet, he would indeed be spotted from a great distance.

"Lord Mo also needs to be vigilant about his surroundings to prevent the South Korean army from launching a feint attack."

Before Yan Lingji could ask the person she cared about most, the guard took the initiative to explain and explain the important task that Jiang Mo needed to undertake.

"Who asked where he went?"

His good intentions were met with a glare from Yan Lingji, whose pale blue eyes stared at him, and the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly in the invisible heatwave.

The oppressive aura made it almost impossible for the guards to breathe.

Even if Yan Lingji was indeed wondering where Jiang Mo was just now, she would never admit it now. Just thinking about what that guy said yesterday made Yan Lingji feel a little depressed.

What annoyed her the most was that the guy didn't say anything afterward.

Not only did he not apologize to her in person last night, but even when others came to his door this morning, he was nowhere to be found.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of outsiders, Yan Lingji would have been looking like an angry pufferfish by now.

Sister Wei is right, all men are big pigs.

As punishment, she decided...

He didn't speak to Jiang Mo until he returned.

With a vicious curse in her heart, Yan Lingji decided to stop dawdling and wait for Jiang Mo to come and say goodbye. She would then use her achievements to thoroughly humiliate him when he returned.

Who says there's no way?

And then things took a turn for the better, didn't they?

Thinking that even if there is no hope, she can create hope herself, Yan Lingji turned her head and waved her hand: "Since the situation is urgent, let's set off immediately."

Her soft fingertips unconsciously brushed against the sachet at her waist.

That was something Jiang Mo had sewn for her before. For Yan Lingji, it was like a talisman, always making her feel at ease.

Today seems to be especially so.

Is it psychological, or is it tainted with the aura of Amo?

……

No, no, it's not here either...

With an almost desperate determination, the village chief led his men to search for Jiang Mo's whereabouts, becoming even more unscrupulous after Yan Lingji left.

They were just short of demolishing the house of the suspected target.

Even so, after searching most of the village, they still couldn't find any trace of Jiang Mo.

The remaining space is only...

Tsk, that old shaman priest, in the end, he couldn't avoid it after all?

Thinking of the most likely hiding place, the village chief couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, but he didn't intend to ask Tianze for instructions.

Tianze has made his attitude very clear.

Moreover, Tianze's anger had not yet subsided, and if he went to provoke the other party again, he would certainly not have a good ending.

It makes him seem like he doesn't have the courage to take the blame for his superiors.

Therefore, the village chief made the decision himself, gathered a large number of people, and surrounded the shaman's house with great force.

The place where the spirit shamans gathered, which could be considered the source of their power, was surrounded.

Looking at the tense expressions of the spirit shamans, the village chief couldn't help but sigh.

Did not expect ah.

After years of struggle, it is finally coming to an end today. This village is just a tiny place after all. How can it possibly resist the power brought by His Highness the Crown Prince?

Fortunately, I stood firmly on the other side.

"Search for traitors; those who disobey will be considered accomplices."

Without much preamble, the village chief waved his hand, signaling his intention to lead a large group of elite men to take over this historically untouched area of ​​secular power, displaying an air of arrogance and audacity.

"Traitor, do you have any evidence?"

An aged yet calm voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of a wooden staff tapping the ground. The hunched-over shaman walked up to the crowd, his frail body exuding an undeniable aura.

Even an old tiger retains its power.

Those elites surrounding the area couldn't help but change color slightly, especially the village chief's men, who instinctively stopped in their tracks.

"Heh, do you perhaps intend to protect the traitor who plotted to harm His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"What are your intentions, you lot!"

The village chief shouted angrily, about to slap a hat on the other man's head. At this point, there was no need for Tianze to hide his whereabouts any longer.

Bringing it out directly to intimidate the other party would save a lot of trouble.

The look of surprise on the other person's aged face made the village chief feel a surge of pleasure, almost bursting into laughter:

Times have changed!

In this new era, there is no place for old fogies like you. You must either submit or perish.

There was no other choice.

"I don't know what the traitor's features are, so I'll mobilize my men to help with the search..."

Realizing that he could not resist forcefully, the shaman wisely chose to retreat in order to advance.

"Assistance? More like covering it up."

A sinister voice interrupted the priest's words, and a cold, inhuman gaze was cast upon them. The leader of the Hidden Witches, representing Tianze, spoke, making no attempt to conceal the hostility in his voice:

"The prime suspect right now is that kid Mo."

"This is one of your best students."

A look of astonishment appeared on the shaman's aged face. He did not instinctively refute, but after a brief moment of thought, he seemed to have figured something out.

His face immediately turned deathly pale.

In just a few breaths, his energy and spirit completely withered away. As if accepting reality, he closed his eyes, sighed, and stepped aside.

He allowed everyone to freely enter and exit the sacrificial site of the primordial fire behind him.

The search did not last long before the village chief found Jiang Mo, the suspect, in a secret hideout filled with various files.

Surprisingly, Jiang Mo made no attempt to hide.

Instead, he sat there calmly, engrossed in reading the case file in his hands, ignoring the elite officers who came to arrest him.
