Chapter 1689

"Yes, most of the fishing villages along the Black River are under the control of our Jibei Palace. From these villages, we can obtain the latest developments in Wushuang City at the first moment."

Ming Ying nodded and replied with a smile.

"Then let us set off."

Di Luomi looked at Ming Ying and said calmly.

The two then activated the Void Boat and sped towards the direction of the Black River.

At the same time, inside Wushuang City.

Xiao Yifeng sat in the study, holding an opened letter in his hand.

This letter was sent by an informant from Jibei Palace, and its content pointed directly to the joint plan of Jibei Palace and the Xuesha Sect.

After reading the letter, Xiao Yifeng frowned tightly.

"Di Luomi..."

Xiao Yifeng murmured to himself.

Although this letter contained only a few hundred characters, every single word struck Xiao Yifeng's heart like a heavy hammer.

He did not expect Jibei Palace to collude with the Xuesha Sect, attacking Wushuang City from both north and south.

What surprised him even more was that Di Luomi was actually still alive.

Moreover, she had broken through to the Martial Master level; with her help, the strength of Jibei Palace would increase greatly.

At this moment, Xiao Yifeng felt unprecedented pressure.

He immediately sent someone to deliver a message to several capable assistants of the City Lord's Mansion, ordering them to prepare for the response.

At the same time, Xiao Yifeng also immediately sent a message to the few experts at the Wu Di level, requesting them to intervene and assist at the critical moment.

The waters of the Black River rolled forward; Ming Ying and Di Luomi stood on the Void Boat, their gazes fixed tightly on the front.

This Black River is a strategic passage between north and south, and it is also the key to their current operation.

"Your Highness, just ahead is the Ghost Shadow Gorge; that is the place where we have agreed to meet with the Xuesha Sect."

Ming Ying looked at Di Luomi and said in a deep voice.

"Understood."

Di Luomi nodded, a trace of solemnity appearing on her face.

The Ghost Shadow Gorge was a place Di Luomi was not unfamiliar with; she had once been ambushed by the Xuesha Sect here.

And this time, she wanted to see if any storm could be stirred up within this gorge!

At the same time, inside Wushuang City, Xiao Yifeng had already arranged everything.

Although he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, he knew that only by making complete preparations could he deal with the impending crisis.

"Report!"

Just then, a figure rushed in from outside the City Lord's Mansion, holding a letter in his hand.

"What is it?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at the messenger, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart.

"My lord, this is a declaration of war sent by Jibei Palace!"

The messenger handed the letter to Xiao Yifeng with both hands, his face full of solemnity.

Xiao Yifeng took the letter, his brows furrowed tightly.

This declaration of war arrived earlier than he had anticipated.

"I understand; you may withdraw first."

Xiao Yifeng waved his hand, signaling the messenger to withdraw.

Looking at the declaration of war in his hand, he could not help but feel somewhat puzzled in his heart.

Could there be something wrong with Jibei Palace's plan this time?...

At the Ghost Shadow Gorge, Ming Ying and Di Luomi stood on the Void Boat, looking at the gorge ahead.

"Ming Ying, are you sure the people of the Xuesha Sect will come according to the plan?"

Di Luomi looked at Ming Ying and asked with a frown.

"Yes, Your Highness. The Xuesha Sect's plan is to wait until we appear, then launch a surprise attack from the rear, forming a pincer attack from front and back."

Ming Ying nodded and said in a deep voice.

"That is good."

Di Luomi took a deep breath, a trace of cold sneer appearing on her face.

If the Xuesha Sect's plan is truly like this, then this operation can be resolved easily.

At the same time, inside Wushuang City, Xiao Yifeng looked at the letter in his hand, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

"Jibei Palace, you are far too arrogant."

Xiao Yifeng looked at the letter and sneered coldly.

Afterwards, he threw that letter into the flames.

"Issue my order: the entire city enters Level One Alert! Send orders to the four City Lords of Dongnanxibei to send troops for support!"

With Xiao Yifeng's command, the entire Wushuang City immediately boiled over.

Countless soldiers rushed out from the City Lord's Mansion, dispersing to every corner of the city to conduct defense.

And at the same time, Ming Ying and Di Luomi, far away at the Ghost Shadow Gorge, knew nothing of all this.

Inside the Ghost Shadow Gorge, Ming Ying and Di Luomi still stood on the Void Boat, waiting for the people of the Xuesha Sect to appear.

However, just then, a smile suddenly appeared on Ming Ying's face.

"Di Luomi, Your Highness, the people of the Xuesha Sect have already appeared."

He looked at Prince Di Luomi and said softly.

"Understood."

Prince Di Luomi nodded slightly, his gaze turning toward the distance.

In the distance, figures rapidly approached from behind—their target was precisely the two people on this Void Boat! At this moment, at the entrance of Ghost Shadow Gorge, a youth draped in a black cloak appeared. His gaze was icy as he looked at Hearing Ming Ying and Prince Di Luomi ahead, and said coldly: "You've finally come!"

And behind him followed a group of soldiers clad in blood-red battle armor, their faces expressionless, brimming with killing intent!

Hearing Ming Ying saw these people, his gaze sharpened slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Prince Di Luomi, these people are all experts of the Xuesha Sect. We must respond carefully."

Prince Di Luomi nodded slightly, her gaze ice-cold, and she slowly began to speak: "Activate your Yuan Power shields, and fight carefully!"

The two immediately activated their Yuan Power shields—this was one of the hallmarks of the Martial Master level, capable of withstanding the opponent's attacks by consuming Yuan Power.

The black-cloaked youth watched the two activate their Yuan Power shields, gave a cold laugh, and immediately issued the order to attack.

Blood-red arrows tore through the air, shooting toward Hearing Ming Ying and Prince Di Luomi.

Hearing Ming Ying's figure flash, he dodged the arrow attack, reversed his grip, and slashed with his sword; sword qi swept across the battlefield, cleaving several Xuesha Sect soldiers cleanly in half at the waist!

Prince Di Luomi was even faster. As her figure flickered, she had already appeared before a soldier. A slender sword appeared in her hand, and she brought it down from midair—a Xuesha Sect soldier didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed to the ground!

Her swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, impossible for anyone to see clearly!

At this moment, Prince Di Luomi was like the God of Death itself, harvesting the lives of the Xuesha Sect soldiers!

"Your Highness's speed is still as fast as ever."

Hearing Ming Ying watched Prince Di Luomi's figure and said lightly.

"Aren't you the same?"

Prince Di Luomi's figure flashed, and she appeared beside Hearing Ming Ying. The long sword in her hand swept out horizontally, and another soldier fell!.
