Chapter 392: Ning Qiancheng's Choice

"Dean, be careful!" At this moment, a black whip descended from the sky, lashing straight at Jiang Yunchu.

Ning Qiancheng blocked it directly; he wanted to resist, but it was already too late—the pressure on it even gave him an irresistible feeling.

But…

The Dean must not be injured again.

The Dean's earlier injury had already made them feel deep remorse.

This time, we absolutely cannot let the Dean be injured!

Jiang Yunchu's pupils contracted for an instant; she embraced Ning Qiancheng, who was blocking in front of her, and with a few quick steps on the balls of her feet, she flashed to the side.

And where Ning Qiancheng had just stood, the ground bore a deep scar.

"I'll deal with you later!" Jiang Yunchu let out a cold snort.

Ning Qiancheng wasn't afraid; he gave a light smile and said, "Good."

Jiang Yunchu's eyes turned red; she kicked a nearby tree trunk and directly faced the black-clad man, saying, "Withdraw, and I'll let you go."

"Hmph!"

That cold snort, in this empty space, was even faintly inaudible.

"You let us go? You almost hurt my people—did you think I'd let you off?" The soft sword in Jiang Yunchu's hand struck out fiercely, at a tricky angle—nothing unusual, yet the soft sword in her hand even carried an air of unstoppable resolve.

"Bold brat!"

The man narrowed his eyes; the two became a tangled mass, their black-and-white silhouettes constantly shifting, and on this desolate mountain only their shadows could be seen.

"Report, we found several caves." Ning Chengyan's men ran out from inside and approached General Ha.

General Ha looked at the fighters over there, then glanced at Bai Zhi, who hadn't joined the fight, and the three little ones.

"You're not helping?"

He asked, bewildered, seeing from their earlier performance that everyone got along well—why aren't they lifting a hand now?

"The Dean said that unless it's a matter of life and death, no one else may intervene."

"Including us, including herself……"

Jia Chuan stepped forward from behind, looked at the battlefield over there, and said, "This kind of fight isn't something we can join; we're still too weak, with far too much effort needed."

Although Bai Zhi didn't make a move, she remained on guard at the side, preventing anyone from sneaking a dark hand.

"How many caves?" At this moment, Ning Hanmo spoke.

"He can't help here, but he can there."

The Jiang clan's properties—no wonder their mother, from the very start, never wanted any survivors; she never even thought of leaving any.

Keeping survivors would also risk being bitten back—a loss not worth the gain; it's better to eradicate them at the root.

Dealing with one's own people, nobody can say anything about it.

The reporting person glanced at General Ha, then turned to Ning Hanmo and answered, "Three!"

Ning Hanmo looked at his two companions and said, "Each of us takes one cave; remember everything—especially any paper, letters, items; nobody may touch them, and if anyone does, kill them on the spot!"

"As for the enemies, just kill them outright!"

After two were killed, a sudden gust swept through the mountain, bringing a hint of chill.

"General Ha?" that person felt somewhat embarrassed.

General Ha looked at Ning Hanmo, then at that person, and said, "The Princess Consort's order is the general's order; disobeyers will be beheaded!"

"Understood?"

In that moment, the eyes of all the Wang Fu troops changed; especially when they saw the white figure still fighting in the distance—this was their Princess Consort!

"All right, move out!" Ning Hanmo didn't have time to say more; he felt a sense of urgency—if vital documents were destroyed, it would be over.

"Yes!"

The three little ones split into three routes; having received Ning Hanmo's order, Ning Qiancheng and Jia Chuan showed no mercy upon encountering anyone, killing without blinking— a drop of blood fell into the eyes, blurring vision; Jia Chuan merely wiped it away and pressed on.

The spurting blood sprayed onto Ning Qiancheng's face, hands, and neck; the skinny Eighth Prince remained oblivious.

Ning Hanmo killed with every step and charged forward, exuding an aura of "gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and slay Buddhas."

"Charge, leave no survivors!"

Everyone was carrying out Ning Hanmo's order—this was the command Jiang Yunchu had given when they ascended the mountain.

The black-clad man was anxious beyond measure; looking at Jiang Yunchu's appearance, his eyes deep and dark, he said, "You really should have been killed when you were young."

"Then today's disaster wouldn't have happened."

"Now her wings are full; killing her is already difficult."

Jiang Yunchu's eyes narrowed slightly, a thin, cool smile touching the corner of her mouth as she stood opposite, raising an eyebrow, "Isn't that a pity?"

"Isn't it regrettable?"

"Isn't it too late?"

……

That irritating little mouth, chattering away, each retort seemed to carry an air of infuriating exasperation.

General Ha had been watching below, ready to strike at any moment; upon hearing the Princess Consort's words, his ha-ha laughter seemed trapped in his throat, then he gave a light cough.

"Don't provoke her—women are tigers, don't provoke them!"

"Still, his little snort is fine—when he gets angry he just hums, he doesn't provoke people."

"You! Courting death!" That man gripped his black whip, looking at Jiang Yunchu's eyes as if she were already dead.

Jiang Yunchu brushed her bangs; she had sweated too much just now, and it stuck to her forehead, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"If you could kill me, you would have done so long ago."

"Will you talk to me?"

"Who doesn't know who?"

She couldn't kill him, so she wasn't in a hurry; as long as she held back his steps, that was enough.

He also couldn't kill her; though his martial arts were high and his inner strength deep, Jiang Yunchu's methods were mysterious and unfathomable—you never knew where her next strike would land, and the tricky angles were terrifying.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred in a cave……

Jiang Yunchu shouted loudly, 'Watch this person for me!'

'Yes!' Ha Jiang's eyes also sharpened, he directly took Jiang Yunchu's place, then fought together with the black-clothed person from just now.

'Bai Zhi, act separately.' Jiang Yunchu's expression grew somewhat anxious; the woman who had been calm from the start now showed her urgency in her eyes for all to see.

'Yes.'

Outside the stone cave, she couldn't see which one had an incident; she didn't have time to hesitate, randomly chose one and rushed straight in.

Bai Zhi went straight into the middle one; there was another stone cave beside it, which they couldn't attend to.

Jiang Yunchu kept praying in her heart, 'This one, this one, this one.'

Only by choosing this one could she provide support immediately.

Only by choosing this could she provide support immediately.

Heaven does not follow human wishes, not……

'Dean, I heard the sound of an explosion?' Ning Qiancheng also came running out with an urgent expression; only upon seeing Jiang Yunchu did he finally relax.

'Continue, be careful.' Jiang Yunchu issued the order.

"Continue, stay safe." Jiang Yunchu gave the order.
