3170 Bait Many days had passed and they still hadn’t returned, nor had there been any news. She was worried that something might have happened to them on their way home. Taking advantage of the night, she left the city and flew through the night on her sword. As she flew further and further away from Cardinal Point City, she felt a movement of the transmission jade token in space. When she took it out, she saw that it was a distress message from Du Fan. Her eyes sank at that moment. She sped away to the location on the jade token in the hopes that she would get there as soon as possible. Du Fan and the others wouldn’t send out a distress signal no matter how serious the situation was, because they felt that if they as her subordinates didn’t have the ability to protect themselves and had to ask their Master for help, then what use did they have? Therefore, even if she had instructed them to ask her for help in a critical situation, and they had agreed, they had never obeyed. However, this time, they had sent out a distress signal. One could only imagine how dangerous their current situation was. When she saw the news, there were two reactions in her mind. One, was that they were in danger and their lives were hanging by the thread. The second was that they had fallen into the hands of their enemies and the distress signal had fallen into enemy hands, so it was to lure her to go to them. No matter which situation it was out of the two, she had to go and find out for herself, even if it was a trap. In a dense forest, Du Fan and the others were trapped within a boundary barrier and unable to come out. Their bodies were stained with blood and some of their wounds were still bleeding. One by one, they ceased to have any movements. If it weren’t for their heaving chests, one would think that they were already dead. Outside the boundary barrier, a black robed man came to a middle-aged man in a black robe and reported respectfully: “Feng Jiu has left the city and the person who has arranged for the ambush is ready.” “Mmm.” The man in black robe responded and cast a glance at the people inside the boundary barrier, then he said: “Those people are trapped in there, leave them as they are. I have set up traps around here to wait for Feng Jiu to come and die!” “Yes.” The black robed man replied and stood aside respectfully. “Let’s go! There is no need for everyone to stay here. Come back with me to report.” “It is said that Feng Jiu is very powerful. Can we really kill her like this?” The black robed man asked with some doubt. “Kill her? Hehe. Feng Jiu is the reincarnation of the Phoenix Star, how can it be easy to kill her? The superiors didn’t give us the order to kill her this time, we just need to let her have a taste of our power.” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 The middle-aged man dressed in black said and narrowed his eyes, before he led the black robed men towards the forest. Their figures flitted a few times before they disappeared into the depths of the forest. In the night, Feng Jiu, who was travelling on her flying sword, suddenly felt a cold, murderous aura coming from behind her. She dodged instinctively and saw the cold light flash past her, the cold killing intent spread across the sky. “Who is it?” She shouted in a cold voice. Her sharp eyes swept around with a probing aura, and finally locked onto somewhere in the darkness. In the darkness, more than a dozen black-clothed men appeared faintly. The aura of evil spirit energy surged from their bodies and they came up behind her silently with barely any movement. “We will send you on your way!” Those people spoke sinisterly. One of them made a gesture and more than a dozen people rushed up and besieged her.
