When the man's body fell, Xuanyuan Zhan reached out and caught it. Then without making any sound, he lifted up the corpse and threw it into the air, stuffing it into the crack in the fake mountain.

Xuanyuan Zhan continued to move forward as he habitually hid his true strength. This way, he would not arouse Xuanyuan Qingtian's deep resentment and sense of danger, and hide his edge from all around to avoid all kinds of disasters. Now that trouble had come, why would he bother doing this?

His figure was like an afterimage of the night. The dark guards quickly broke through the first patrol circle and stopped around the library.

Fortunately, the trees surrounding the library had been planted in order to look beautiful. Even though it was already autumn, the leaves were still lush and verdant, casting countless shadows under the moonlight, tightly covering their bodies.

The group of guards that were in charge of patrolling nearby the library building were clearly the best under Xuanyuan Qingtian's command.

The inside of the library was filled with all sorts of evil tricks, because Xuanyuan Zhan guessed that Xuanyuan Qingtian must have already entered the library.

He was worried for Dou Dou's safety. Although he could roughly guess that Xuanyuan Qingtian wanted to use Dou Dou to speak ill of him and turn him into someone who wanted to bully the king in order to obtain the title of emperor, he didn't dare to be sure that Dou Dou would be sensible and act unscrupulously.

Although Dou Dou was very smart, he was still only a six year old child. Who knows what he might do when he's forced into a corner.

Xuanyuan Zhan's brows slightly furrowed, yet he did not do anything other than doing so. He was very calm, very calm, and could not ruin any situation.

Slightly raising his gaze, he saw that a candle had already been lit in the room on the roof. However, he could not see any figure through the window, and because he was too far away, he was unable to detect what was going on inside.

The only way to get past the guards was to circle around them and kill them without a sound.

The guards walked forward in two rows, with a unified silver sword at their waists, and they were both dressed in black clothing. The patrolling was extremely quiet, to the point where one could not hear their footsteps, making it difficult to tell that they were raised by Xuanyuan Qingtian.

Xuanyuan Zhan signaled Lightning and Thunder Rain with his eyes. The two of them understood, and everyone silently watched as the guard slowly passed in front of them, and just as they were about to disappear around the corner, the two hidden guards stepped forward soundlessly, sticking close to the two people at the back of the line like ghosts. In an instant, they covered their mouths with their hands, and the silver dagger in their other hand pierced into the arteries in their necks.

The two of them did not feel that anything was amiss. When they realized that they were being attacked, they were already powerless, just like the martial artist that was killed by Xuanyuan Zhan previously. They did not even have the time to make a sound.

The two guards quickly dragged away the corpses and placed them under a tree shrouded in shadow. At the same time, the other two guards also used this method to get rid of the two who were at the end of the line. In a short moment, four of them died.

Even now, the guards didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

After quickly killing two more, a third of the guards were killed. Just as he was about to deal with the other two, Sir Wang walked out of the library and saw the two guards' necks quietly being cut open.

Young Master Wang was startled for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, he opened his mouth wanting to give out a warning, but in the face of such a situation, Xuanyuan Zhan had no choice but to remain in the darkness. He suddenly leaped out, like a black leopard, it quickly flew towards Master Wang, and the dagger in his hand pierced into his heart.

Young Master Wang died with his eyes wide open. However, the group of guards also noticed the situation and turned around to look at the intruders.

Xuanyuan Zhan did not mask his face, he knew that Xuanyuan Qingtian would not dare to touch Xuanyuan Mo, so he did not hesitate, as a guard of the crown prince, he recognized the famous Third Marquis immediately, and understood what happened.

Xuanyuan Zhan ignored their twitching faces, and said indifferently.

"Kill them all."

Xuanyuan Zhan lifted his leg and walked towards the entrance of the library. Lightning and Lei Yu were by his side, the guards tried their best to rush forward to stop Xuanyuan Zhan, but they were all blocked by the dark guards.

Xuanyuan Zhan directly kicked open the door of the library, making such a large commotion that Xuanyuan Qingtian would definitely be able to notice it, he did not care about keeping a low profile at all, with this loud noise, he would definitely attract the attention of the martial artists inside, that's the best, he just so happened to be able to catch all of them in one go.

Sure enough, a few Jiang Hu people quickly appeared in shock. Xuanyuan Zhan sneered, and finally pulled out his black heavy sword.

Xuanyuan Qingtian was stunned on the spot when he saw Dou Dou disappear into the wall. He had never seen this big house with any kind of secret mechanism before. After researching for a long time, he still could not find the mechanism to open the secret chamber.

"Someone, hurry and come in."

An enchanting woman dressed in a maid outfit immediately opened the door and entered the room. She glanced at him coquettishly with her slender eyes. "Your Highness, what orders do you have?" Her voice was also extremely enchanting, but it did not attract Xuanyuan Qingtian's attention at all.

"There's a mechanism here, how did you manage to do it? You found a place with mechanisms to imprison this little brat, luckily this little brat didn't discover it previously, otherwise, how would you be responsible if he ran away?!"

The woman knew his temper, but she did not seem angry even after being called down for no reason. She swayed her waist and walked to the wall in front of Xuanyuan Qingtian, scanning around the hidden corner of the wall, and was able to see the mechanism at a glance.

He thought that if he was not a favored crown prince, he would not have followed, and he would not be able to manage this mountain and river of Xiao Kingdom.

The lady's face obviously did not reveal such an expression, she twisted the mechanism, and a door sized wall immediately flipped over. Xuanyuan Qingtian's eyes lit up, and immediately went forward to take a look, only to discover that inside was a very, very small secret room.

In the secret room, there was only a bed and a table. The two pieces of furniture had sealed up the space and he could not move his feet. He looked under the table and under the bed, but there was no sign of Dou Dou.

"Where did this little bastard hide himself?"

The woman also scanned her surroundings and immediately discovered something strange. Although there was nowhere to hide in the secret chamber on the surface, there was actually a small hole that could be passed. However, the hole was very small and one had to crawl through it with a bent body.

"Crown Prince, that child must have crawled along the passage."

The lady pointed, and Xuanyuan Qingtian realised that there was a secret passage beside the bed.

"Then hurry up and chase him!" Xuanyuan Qingtian roared angrily, "Who knows where this passage will lead to? It would be good if there is no exit, and it's not bad if I trap that little brat to death. If by chance, you guys outside this passage will ruin my grand plan."

The woman's eyes flashed with disgust as she quickly covered her expression.

Of course she wouldn't crawl in there herself. She clapped her hands and called for someone who looked like a little old man. He immediately dove in, crawling forward at an incredible speed, like a mouse digging a hole.

But the palms of his hands were bruised and his knees ached, and he couldn't see the exit, as if the passage were endless.

Dou Dou regretted barging in like this. What if there really was no exit and he was trapped inside? This place was so narrow, it would be impossible for him to retreat.

Dou Dou began to imagine his own way of dying, death from exhaustion, death from thirst, or starvation. The thing that he couldn't accept the most was of course starvation, he wouldn't leave anything that was tasty, and he started to think about the series of delicious foods he had eaten.

"Mother, Dou Dou misses you."

Dou Dou's tears couldn't help but fall, but thinking that crying now was a waste of energy, the only thing he could do was to continue forward.

Then, he heard someone following him from behind. Dou Dou immediately knew that Xuanyuan Qingtian had sent someone to capture him, and immediately lost any chance of complaining. He quickly crawled forward, ignoring the pain in his palms.

The little old man's movements were not small, causing dust to fly everywhere. Even though Dou Dou was right in front of him, he could feel the battle's intensity. They were almost at his ass!

"You, you, don't come over here!"

Dou Dou screamed, her tear-filled appearance was truly lovable, but it could only lead to an even more intense, sickly, pleasure from the little old man.

"Kid, just scream. Let's see who can help you from here!"

Looking at Dou Dou's small and round body, he was even more satisfied. He was like a cat toying with a mouse and wanted to let escape, so that he could catch him when he got a certain distance away.

Dou Dou was completely unaware of all this, he only increased his speed. This time, not only did his palm grind his skin, even his knees had large holes in them.

When would the end come? He wanted to escape!

Dou Dou fell into despair bit by bit, and could only rely on his desire to live to support himself forward. His small body fell down on the ground, and he looked like he was about to lose all his strength.

"Brat, try to be brave! The more you try, the more excited I get!"

Dou Dou couldn't hear what he was saying anymore, and his little body was leaning on the wall, trying to support himself. Unexpectedly, with one strike, he had broken through another mechanism, and a small hole opened up in the wall.

Dou Dou rolled a few rounds, his white clothes was stained with a lot of soil and grass, he didn't have the strength to struggle, he could only allow his body to roll around non-stop, the only thing he could see was the spinning of the sky and the spinning of the earth.
