29: You're so noisy!
Hearing Shangguan Yuexi's question, Aunt Shen looked at the two dark figures ahead, her brows furrowed. "Your Highness the Grand Consort, it seems we've run into trouble!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yuexi couldn't help but look at Liu Mingyue, only to see Liu Mingyue's expression suddenly turn grim.
"Do your best to protect yourself and the Little Fellow. I'll go out and see!"
She said, stepping out of the carriage and sitting with Aunt Shen.
Liu Mingyue glanced at Aunt Shen, and seeing her grim expression, she seemed to understand something.
She looked calmly at the two figures in front, her eyes filled with coldness.
"Who are you? How dare you block the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence's carriage? Aren't you afraid of the Qingyou Imperial Family's reprisal?"
But upon hearing this, the two Black-Robed People shook their heads. "Attendant Liu, isn't it? If the Qingyou Imperial Family wants to hold us accountable, you'll have to make it out of here alive first, won't you?"
"Hehehe, you've been poisoned by my Spirit Dissipation Powder. You're now lambs to the slaughter. As long as we deal with you cleanly, how will the Qingyou Imperial Family know it was us?"
Another voice came, filled with killing intent and mockery!
Liu Mingyue's expression changed slightly, and a flicker of almost imperceptible despair flashed in her eyes.
Just now, when the carriage stopped and she became alert, she discovered that most of her spiritual power had dissipated at some point. Her strength was less than one-tenth of its original, barely able to exert the power of an Early Stage Calamity Destruction Realm cultivator.
She pretended to be calm as she walked out, intending to end the battle quickly and leave, but then she realized that the aura of the two Black-Robed People in front of her was actually that of the Spirit Venerable Realm!
She had secretly sent out a distress signal, and now she could only buy time.
Inside the carriage, Shangguan Yuexi had thought that Liu Mingyue going out would quickly resolve the trouble, but things were not as she had imagined.
Hearing the Black-Robed Person's words, she suddenly realized with a shock that almost all of her spiritual power had dissipated, leaving her with no strength whatsoever.
Noticing this, she knew the situation was dire and quickly sent out several distress signals.
She looked at Nangong Yu in her arms, her eyes filled with worry, heartache, and despair.
Nangong Yu looked at his mother's expression, feeling a pang in his heart. His eyes darted to a certain spot.
At this moment, Liu Mingyue's voice came from outside the carriage again. "You're right, the Spirit Dissipation Powder is indeed formidable. We've certainly fallen into your trap today. Can you tell me who you are? So we can die knowing!"
Hearing this, one of the Black-Robed People chuckled lightly. "You should know, my Spirit Dissipation Powder is the most famous in the Netherworld Hall!"
As soon as this was said, Liu Mingyue's expression changed slightly. "Netherworld Hall's Ninth-Rank Killer, Myriad Poison Spirit Venerable, whose Spirit Dissipation Powder is used with divine skill, leaving no trace!"
"It seems you have some knowledge. It is indeed this Venerable. You've made this Venerable use my specially made Spirit Dissipation Powder, so your deaths are not unjust!"
Liu Mingyue's expression flickered between light and dark. Then she looked up at the two Black-Robed People. "Who hired you? And when did you administer the Spirit Dissipation Powder?"
But hearing her words, the other Black-Robed Person sneered. "Are you trying to stall for time? It's useless. This space has been laid with an Absolute Void Formation by us. Your messages may seem to have been sent, but they haven't at all!"
As soon as this was said, Aunt Shen and the others' expressions instantly changed. The Absolute Void Formation was a Ninth-Rank Formation; within it, all communication, teleportation, or flight was useless.
No wonder this place was so close to the Imperial Palace, and they had sent out distress signals for so long, yet no reinforcements had arrived!
So that's how it was!
Liu Mingyue and the others understood this, and their faces turned incredibly grim, despair spreading in their hearts.
At this moment, Aunt Shen suddenly whispered, "Attendant Liu, take Your Highness the Grand Consort and run!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Mingyue's reaction, she suddenly jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the two Black-Robed People.
At the same time, she shouted loudly, "Help! Netherworld Hall assassins are here!"
"Help!"
Seeing this, Liu Mingyue also understood her intention, rushed into the carriage, pulled Shangguan Yuexi, jumped out from the back of the carriage, and quickly ran!
But they had only run two steps when they suddenly stopped, looking grimly at the front.
They saw a Black-Robed Person standing there, looking at them mockingly. "It's useless. There's also a Soundproofing Restriction here. No one can hear you!"
But as soon as he said this, a gender-neutral voice quietly sounded.
"So noisy, I can't even get a peaceful sleep!"
As soon as this was said, the entire scene fell silent.
Even Aunt Shen's running steps on the other side paused, less than ten meters from the Black-Robed Person in front of her!
They slowly turned their heads, only to see a dark figure slowly rising from the shadows not far away.
"You've disturbed my sleep!"
As this voice sounded, a wisp of aura emanated from the dark figure, and everyone's expressions instantly changed.
"Peak Spirit Venerable Realm!"
They exclaimed in surprise, not understanding why there would be a Peak Spirit Venerable Realm master here, and one who was sleeping on the ground.
The Black-Robed Person standing not far in front of Liu Mingyue and the others, who was Myriad Poison Spirit Venerable, looked solemnly at the dark figure. "Your Excellency, who are you? We are Ninth-Rank Killers of the Netherworld Hall. Please leave quickly."
He was only a Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm, and the person with him was an Early Stage Spirit Venerable Realm. If this person made a move, the consequences would not be good.
But as soon as he spoke, the dark figure instantly vanished, only to reappear behind him in an instant.
"You're too noisy!"
As soon as this was said, Myriad Poison Spirit Venerable's pupils instantly widened. "Spare..."
But before he could finish his sentence, his large head slid off and rolled onto the ground.
His aura also rapidly dissipated; clearly, his Nascent Soul and Divine Soul had been annihilated, unable to escape!
Seeing this scene, Liu Mingyue and the other couldn't help but swallow hard, utterly shocked.
That was Myriad Poison Spirit Venerable, a Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm expert, just like that, dead?
But before they could be horrified, a deep, dark gaze fell upon the two of them.
Liu Mingyue and the other trembled all over and quickly knelt down. "Senior, we did not intend to disturb you. Please forgive us!"
"Wah!"
Nangong Yu seemed startled and burst into tears with a "wah."
Seeing this, Shangguan Yuexi was greatly alarmed and quickly covered his mouth, only to see the dark figure's gaze had already fallen on Nangong Yu.
"Senior, he's still a child. Please, for his ignorance, spare him!"
She tightly shielded Nangong Yu, her heart filled with fear, speaking rapidly, never having been so nervous before.
"Senior, please spare his life!" Liu Mingyue also quickly kowtowed, speaking respectfully.
The dark figure glanced at Nangong Yu, then his figure suddenly vanished, just as before.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yuexi and the other were greatly alarmed, their faces filled with despair.
But then a voice faintly dropped, "This Venerable does not kill infants. I will spare your lives!"
Hearing this, the two immediately kowtowed. "Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"
