"Oh no! Yu Niang is missing!"

Qing He's exclamation interrupted the two of them, and Lin Shuyue also turned her head to look to the left side of the carriage.

Just now, Yu Niang carried the child to the open space on the left side of the carriage, but now there was no one there, only a torch stuck in the ground.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Shuyue jumped off the carriage first and led the three of them straight to the open space where Yu Niang was.

"Miss, this is the bag that Yu Niang was carrying." Qing He pointed at the green bag on the ground. There were one or two pieces of scattered clothes on the edge of the bag, which looked like they were scattered in a panic.

"Aunt Yu Niang!" Qingzhi and Qingsheng anxiously called out Yu Niang's name in the darkness, but received no response.

"Miss, what should I do?"

Qingzhi stamped her feet anxiously. Where could a woman with a child go in such a remote place? Could there really be some evil spirit? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't worry, they..."

"Who?"

Lin Shuyue was about to comfort them when she saw a strange black shadow flash past from the rocks next to her.

Hearing the voice, Qingzhi, Qinghe and Qingsheng quickly drew the swords at their waists and tacitly surrounded their young lady.

At this moment, the black shadow appeared again and approached the four people in the open space at an incredible speed.

Lin Shuyue's eyes turned cold, and then she flipped her hand, and a silver-white sword appeared in her hand. She warned the three people surrounding her, "The three of you protect yourselves and don't separate."

"Miss, I..." Qing Sheng was about to speak, but he saw the young lady jump up and fly straight towards the black shadow with the flowing sword in hand.

The black shadow looked at Lin Shuyue who was right in front of him in the blink of an eye, and his body stiffened for a moment, as if he had not expected someone to dare to approach him directly.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Lin Shuyue shouted coldly, and the sword in his hand quickly cut through the night. The sharp sword energy hit the black shadow directly, and then a muffled groan was heard.

The black shadow seemed to be a little angry after being injured. He let out a roar, then suddenly stretched out a hand like an eagle claw and grabbed Lin Shuyue's neck fiercely.

He was very fast. If it were anyone else, they would surely die under this claw.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Lin Shuyue. She dodged like a ghost, and after avoiding the attack, she quickly rushed forward and stabbed the black shadow with the sword in her hand again.

The black shadow was unable to dodge and the sword pierced directly into his body.

Then, Lin Shuyue turned his wrist, and the sharp sword spun around inside the black shadow's body before being pulled out suddenly, followed by a sharp but shrill scream.

The black shadow let out an angry roar, and then quickly retreated to an open space a few meters away from Lin Shuyue.

In the moonlight, Lin Shuyue stared at the black shadow coldly. She was sure that it was the person in the black robe, but she didn't know why he looked so strange, especially the pair of eagle-like claws and the unusual body.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been either dead or seriously injured after being hit by her two swords. However, the black shadow seemed to have only suffered minor injuries, and his body was still as agile as ever.

"Who are you?"

Lin Shuyue asked in a cold voice.

The black shadow did not answer, but stared at her vigilantly with a pair of red eyes.

Seeing that he said nothing, she became a little annoyed and approached him again with the sword in hand, but saw the black shadow's face suddenly change, and then he turned around and quickly rushed towards the rocks behind him.

Lin Shuyue looked at the black shadow's fleeing back, with a slight smile on her lips.

"You three wait here for me."

She jumped up and chased in the direction of the black shadow. Qinghe, Qingzhi and Qingsheng, who were still in shock, only heard these words left by their young lady.

Among the rocks, Lin Shuyue controlled her speed and followed the black shadow at a moderate pace. The black shadow, who only wanted to escape, did not notice that there was someone following him.

A quarter of an hour later, the black shadow stopped in front of a larger rock. He first looked around vigilantly, and then pressed the side of the rock with his sharp claws.

"Squeak..."

With a slight sound, the rock slowly split in the middle, revealing a dark hole.

The dark shadow visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then slipped into the cave entrance and disappeared into the darkness.

Outside the cave, the cracked rocks were slowly closing. Just as they were about to close, a lithe figure quickly flew in.

Lin Shuyue walked in the dark and winding tunnel, paying close attention to the movements around her.

After walking for a cup of tea, the narrow tunnel showed signs of widening. Lin Shuyue tightly grasped the Liuguang Sword and continued to move forward quietly.

Sure enough, not long after she walked, she saw a faint glow of fire ahead and a faint smell of blood at the tip of her nose.

In the dim candlelit cave, a man in a black robe sat on a chair, breathing heavily.

After a moment, he pulled off the black scarf covering his face, revealing a pale, bloodless, and somewhat gloomy man's face.

Perhaps because he moved too much and pulled the wound, he couldn't help but let out a hiss and then looked down at his chest.

There was a long wound on his chest that was bleeding, and on the right side of his chest, there was a bloody hole with flesh and blood flying around and some black blood oozing out.

Looking at his own embarrassment, a violent emotion filled his mind.

"Damn it!"

When had Wuchangzi ever been so embarrassed before? He was beaten and fled by a little girl.

No! He wants revenge!

When his magical power is perfected, he will definitely catch that bitch and chop her into pieces! He will poke countless holes in that bitch's body!

Just as his eyes were about to turn bloodshot, a sound of disorderly footsteps was heard outside the cave.

"Husband!"

The woman's scream awakened Wuchangzi's mind, and the blood color in his eyes slowly faded away.

"Madam, why are you here..."

When Wuchangzi saw the person coming, he hurriedly pulled up his black robe to cover up the bloody wound.

"Husband, you are injured!"

The woman had her face covered with a veil and was wrapped in a purple silk dress, and the worry in her eyes was obvious.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Wuchangzi didn't want to make her worry, so he downplayed it.

"you're lying!"

The woman didn't believe him at all. She strode forward and tore open his black robe, revealing the wound that was still bleeding.

"You're so badly injured and yet you lied to me! You liar!"

She quickly got up and left, returning a moment later with a basin of warm water.

After treating his wound, the woman asked in confusion: "Husband, what happened?

How did you get so badly injured? Did something happen to you?"

"Nothing, I was careless." Wu Changzi patted her shoulder lightly with his eagle claw-like hand and asked, "How are those people in the dungeon?"

"Husband, don't worry, I will keep a good eye on those people for you, nothing will happen." The woman replied softly, her eyes full of love as she looked at Wuchangzi.

Wu Changzi nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, the time has not come yet, we must not let them die, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry, they can't die even if they want to..." The woman opened her red lips slightly, but the words she said were particularly creepy.
