Their plans were quite good. Originally, they wanted to repeat the same trick, put on an emotional play, and after gaining Xue Luoyun's trust, plot against him. However, before they could even begin, they were cut off by him.

"Since she has already laid her cards on the table with us, we don't have to worry about any sisterhood anymore. Let's just go straight to the point and end her life. " Xue Lian said with vicious eyes.

"Right, keeping it is also a disaster." The two of them then began to plot.

On this day, Xue Duan Sheng went on a long journey and would only be able to return after a period of time. The lights in the manor had long since been extinguished. Even the guards who were usually on night duty had been reduced by quite a bit. Dark clouds covered the moon and the night was dark. The entire Xue Manor was frighteningly quiet. This kind of night was destined to not be peaceful. Xue Ruyun and Yun Zhi weren't aware of what was happening outside, so they sat in the room and chatted.

At this moment, the group of men in black entered in a line, as if they had entered an area devoid of people. As soon as he entered the door, he walked with ease and familiarity to the front of the store. These people's eyes were full of malevolence. Their murderous aura was dense, and the weapons in their hands shone with a dangerous light.

They split up into several groups and blew the thick poisonous smoke into the surrounding walls. The black cat passed by the wall and fell down with a single glance. When the wind blew, it dispersed. They waited outside for a long time and heard no sounds coming from inside. Then they jumped onto the wall and climbed down from the tree next to them.

However, just as the group of black men landed on the ground, they heard a series of screams as their feet were pierced through. Some of them were quick enough to dodge the bayonets. They were delighted to see the rain of arrows rushing towards them from all directions. After dodging the arrows, there were all sorts of rat traps. Some stepped on the elastic seesaw and were directly ejected from the mansion. Some of them had gotten their hands on the powder, and their bodies were itching unbearably. In short, there were all sorts of traps and mechanisms that came one after another. This made the black-clothed people unable to defend themselves, as terrifying as if they had fallen into hell.

For a moment, all of the mechanisms were triggered. When Xue Ruoyun heard the noise outside, it had been a long time since such a situation had occurred in her heart, so she wasn't in a hurry. She just sat quietly in her room, sipping her tea and reading a book.

Waiting until the outside was quiet, only then did Xue Ruoyun leisurely walk out, wearing a simple robe. He ordered Yun Zhi to light the lamp. Only now did they clearly see that the dozen or so black-clothed people had been inoculated into their ambush. These people all had different shapes. Some were hanging upside down from trees, some were covered in bloody scratches, some had been shot by arrows, and some had blood dripping from their feet. Other than Mu Sheng, no one else could escape the trap.

"I never would have thought that this time, the power would be so enormous. Who was the one who hardened his heart to take my life?" As Xue Ruyun thought this, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He saw her suddenly soar into the air, and in a few steps, she grabbed the person on the tree branch and flew down. Xue Ruyun tore apart his mask, grabbing his neck. "Speak, who sent you here?"

However, before he could even open his mouth, he only saw a stream of dark red blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth. His head tilted to the side as he closed his eyes, dead.

Xue Ruyun threw him down and looked at the others. He saw that these black-clothed people had taken advantage of her inattention to bite themselves to death.

"It's actually a Death Soldier." Xue Ruyun sighed.

"Miss, wh-wh-what happened to them?" Yun Zhi held a bamboo stick in her hand and was still trembling in fear.

"If I'm not wrong, these are all death soldiers. Today, their target is to kill me. If the target fails, immediately take the poison and commit suicide." Xue Luoyun analyzed. Death Soldiers were the most vicious and merciless warriors. Once they attacked, they would inevitably be fatal, because if they didn't die, then it was either them or them. It was fortunate that this mechanism had been set up well. Otherwise, he would have long since lost his life.

"Help me turn them over and see if there are any traces of them." Xue Ruyun greeted them and then dragged them into the small courtyard. He then took off his clothes and inspected them.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the Tree Shadow Transmission, and his ears perked up. "There's still a fish that escaped the net." As he spoke, he leapt up and flew towards that person, wielding the treasured sword. In the dark night, the two of them moved back and forth, the only sounds being the clashing of weapons, and the sound of the leaves falling to the ground. After a dozen or so moves, Xue Luoyun was no match for him, and he was forced back. Seeing that person walking in with a sword in his hand, he came out from the darkness and saw clearly that it was Mu Sheng.

"So it's you, really." Only now did Xue Ruyun relax.

"What? Why is there such a huge amount of anger today? Is the two swords clashing from the very beginning?" Mu Yong said as he walked over and helped Xue Ruyun up.

"I thought you were a killer." Xue Ruyun brushed off the dust on his body. "The Seizure King did not lose his martial arts prowess, my daughter admires him." After winning a few moves from Mu, he knew that Mu Ye's martial arts cultivation was far above his own. Thus, he admired him even more in his heart.

"Assassin?" Mu Yong looked at the scattered bodies around him. His eyes were cold, as if he was about to spit out fire. "What's going on?"

"Isn't that obvious? Someone wants to assassinate me." Xue Ruyun helplessly said, and the two of them continued to move on top of the black man's body. However, when he checked his body thoroughly, he found that these people were all clean and clean. Other than the poisonous darts and the poisonous smoke, there were no other marks. It seemed like these people had concealed themselves well enough.

"Do you know who it is? Tell me the name, and This King will go and fetch their heads right now. "

Xue Ruyun shook her head. She guessed that the ones who hated her the most were none other than her two younger sisters. However, looking at the assassins, they seemed to have some sort of discipline and organization. Thus, Xue Ruoyun was not sure if she could injure the innocent.

"Who do you think will hate you?" Mu Sheng sat by the table, gripping his treasured sword tightly. At this moment, if Xue Ruyun said a name, he would immediately finish him off. To dare to hurt his woman, he must know who it was. That would make him wish he were dead.

As for Xue Ruyun, he shook his head. For the time being, he didn't know. Even though he suspected Xue Shaoli of painting with Xue Lian, with Mu Ying's personality, if she were to speak, the two of them would definitely lose their lives. Plus, he didn't have any evidence, so he didn't want to hurt the innocent. Furthermore, he wanted to find out who the person behind this Death Soldier was. As a result, it was not easy to loosen up.

"Based on what happened today, the person who harmed you is quite strong. You have to be careful in the future." Mu Rong Zhan urged with a worried expression.

He picked up the treasured sword, glanced at Xue Ruyun, and wanted to give it to her for self-defense. But when he thought of the matter of Xue Luoyun returning his sword, he couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't open his mouth.

"What?! The Death Soldiers that I've painstakingly cultivated for many years, none of them came back? It's already early in the morning. It seems that the mission has failed. " The Third Prince angrily knocked the entire table away. Xue Shaoli was so shocked that she remained silent. She said that if they took Xue Ruyun's life, they would be able to get the Nine-Eyed Heaven Bead, which was why Mu Zhuoyun used this group of Death Soldiers. They had been saving it for big matters, but now it was all over.
