Yanhuang Continent, Profound Capital.

Deep in the night, the moon was dark and the winds were strong. The stars were dim.

Ling Luo stood proudly on the high wall of the palace, staring coldly at the vast, orderly palace. She was dressed in a black night attire, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and a black scarf was hung on her face.

Beside her stood an enormous silver lone wolf. It raised its head proudly, and its piercing eyes emitted a frightening coldness even in the dark night.

"Silver Flash, we have to move."

Ling Luo gently caressed Lone Wolf's head as she spoke with a desolate look in her eyes. For the sake of the unsolvable poison in his master's body, regardless of whether the palace was a sea of flames or a mountain of blades, he would still charge in.

The Silver Flash raised its head and glanced at her, then intimately rubbed its head against her neck.

She took out a silver Pill from her bosom and threw it into the air. Suddenly, with a shake of her arms, the Pill instantly exploded, shooting out a ball of dark red flame like a tornado towards a abandoned house on the east.

Suddenly, screams of terror came from afar and rushed towards the east.

Ling Luo summoned the two flags and began to wave them in a strange posture.

Suddenly, two gusts of cold wind appeared in the surroundings and quickly spread to the east yard. The fire quickly split into two groups and spread around the east side of the palace like two burning fire dragons. Borrowing the east wind, this was the strangest technique of the Mysterious Gates Escape Technique.

"Quick, the east palace is on fire! The fire is burning fast and fast …"

On the long corridor, Dark Guard and the imperial guards quickly ran away as if they had lost their home. Ling Luo smiled. Luck had shattered the two flags.

"Silver Flash, go!"

With a cold glance, she easily locked onto Empress Zhuang Yuchan's palace, which she had studied a thousand times. It was located on the west side of the palace, in the royal palace on the east side, in Jun Aotian's sleeping quarters, and on the right side, in the courtyard of Fourth Prince and Jun Ximo.

It was said that Jun Ximo was the prince that Jun Aotian disliked the most. Therefore, this was the weakest point of the palace, and Ling Luo had chosen to retreat.

She ran towards the Qingle Palace like a bolt of lightning. Because her qinggong was not bad, her steps on the tiles made no sound at all. Her body was as light as a swallow.

The Silver Flash followed closely behind, and its body flew forward like a bolt of lightning.

Phoenix Fault Palace was noble and luxurious, but it was abnormally quiet. Several palace maids carrying lanterns were walking along the path in front of the palace and were whispering to each other loudly.

"Aiya, there's a fire in the East Palace. What should we do? Do we still need to send the items over? "

"Of course, that place is empty, what does a fire have to do with us? "Esteemed Empress said that she wanted to gift this jade ruyi to Noble Li as a congratulatory gift. Let's hurry and send it over."

"Imperial Concubine Xiao was born into a princess last time, yet you didn't see the Empress being so enthusiastic?"

"Imperial Concubine Xiao can compare with Imperial Physician Li. She's lost her favor. Right now, the Emperor really likes Senior Li. Who knows if he might take Imperial Concubine Xiao's place? "

"Shh, lower your voice. Be careful of the wall."

Ling Luo, who was hiding on the rooftop, dove down like an eagle. She coldly glanced at her surroundings, then swiftly and stealthily left towards the depths of the courtyard.

The Silver Flash also flew down, cleverly hiding in the darkness.

Zhuang Yuchan was from the Western Regions and loved to grow terrifying plants. For example, Mandala Flower, Netherworld Flower and Holy Blood Herb.

Ling Luo had quietly come precisely for the sake of obtaining the Holy Blood Herb. It was said that this flower originated from the summit of the snow-capped mountain. It could only be found by chance and not sought. It was a holy medicine used to cure poisons. This time, she was determined to win!

He could smell a strange fragrance coming from the flower garden in the backyard. There were about ten blade-wearing guards standing there, patrolling back and forth.

Ling Luo was stunned for a moment. She had not expected that they would not be attracted there.

'What should I do? ' She was hiding in the dark, her brow furrowed. If the imperial guards were alerted to attract the legendary Dark Guard, they would definitely be unable to escape. However, she didn't have much time left. She couldn't make the next deployment. With her strength, defeating these people shouldn't be a problem, but how to escape was the most important thing.

After hesitating for a moment, she stealthily approached the group of guards, waiting for an opportunity to make her move.

"Have you heard? The barbarians of the Northern Desert have arrived before the city. The Emperor is preparing to send Fourth Prince to fight the enemy. "

"Am I courting death? To resist the enemy. If Great General was defeated and forced to retreat, could Fourth Prince do it? He is the most unwelcome person in this palace. "

"Are you looking to die?" No matter how unpopular Fourth Prince is, he's still a prince. "

"Let's not talk about all of you. Be more vigilant. The situation right now is in turmoil, so there might be spies who have snuck into the capital."

"Look at what you're saying, to sneak into the capital and still dare to sneak into the palace? Who doesn't know that our Yan State's imperial palace is impenetrable? "

'Indestructible as gold! ' Upon hearing these words, the corners of Ling Luo's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Without further ado, her eyes turned cold as she pounced like an eagle towards that group of people. With a flick of his finger, countless silver needles shot out from the gaps of his fingers.

"Roar!" A few miserable shrieks rang out, and six or seven of the imperial guards who hadn't been on guard instantly fell.

"Be careful, there's an assassin!"

The rest of the warriors regained their senses and rushed over with their sabers full of killing intent. Ling Luo let out a cold shriek and dashed into the group of guards, bringing Xiao Sha with her in her palm.

Her body was sharp and her hand did not have a bloody blade. She only knocked them out in a split-second.

None of the guards present had seen her strange palm technique. They didn't even have the time to scream before they were knocked down. Only one of them was still staggering. Ling Luo lifted her foot and threw a roundhouse kick at him. The man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.

"He can't even withstand a single blow!"

She clapped her hands in disdain. She hadn't thought that these imperial guards would be so easy to deal with, so she immediately felt reassured.

After flying into the flower bed, she immediately locked onto the Holy Blood Herb that was lying on top of a pile of rubble. There was only a grass that had blood-red leaves on it, growing on top of a pile of rubble in a strange yet lonely manner.

No, to be exact, it was a pile of rubble surrounded by poisonous snakes.
