But there seemed to be an unusual fluctuation among the branches and leaves.
"The Wei residence is indeed heavily guarded."
Her voice was so low it was almost inaudible, tinged with suppressed emotion.
"Every corner is fraught with potential threats, and we must be extremely careful."
Turning to Ye Ji beside her, the nine-tailed fox princess instructed:
"Go and investigate the situation of the entire Wei residence immediately."
Remember, the goal is to find out Wei Changxuan's true strength and how many helpers he has.
We cannot act rashly because we know what methods each of us is good at.
After she finished speaking, she paused, a smile appearing in her eyes.
"We need to see what kind of strength this so-called ally really has!"
Can we achieve final victory in this great battle?
Upon hearing this, Ye Ji bowed slightly in greeting, her expression respectful yet resolute.
"Yes, Your Highness. I understand."
Before she could finish speaking, her body instantly melted into a void of black shadow.
Like a wisp of smoke dissipating into the hazy night.
The vast courtyard was suddenly left with only the nine-tailed fox princess.
She hid quietly in the shadows, her ears strained to catch even the slightest sound.
Its extremely keen perception extended to a range of several feet around it.
Although the environment appeared unusually quiet, she could clearly sense the dangerous atmosphere hidden beneath the surface.
It was a deeply buried killing intent, a sense of oppression formed by the gathering of countless powerful individuals.
Just then, a faint but orderly sound of footsteps came from afar.
The sound of boot soles striking the ground grew louder as it approached, accompanied by an invisible, ever-growing pressure.
The nine-tailed fox princess's heart skipped a beat, and she held her breath.
He quickly pressed himself against the cold wall to hide his figure.
All the muscles in my body tensed up in an instant, ready to be unleashed.
Her gaze pierced through the darkness, fixed on the approaching figure.
Before long, a tall and handsome man came into view.
He wore a fitted white robe, which accentuated his sharp and domineering demeanor.
His steps were steady and powerful, exuding the aura of a general commanding the battlefield.
He is Wei Changxuan, the man who has recently accomplished many great things in the capital.
He was accompanied by a charming and alluring woman in a red dress.
Her eyes possessed a captivating allure.
This woman is none other than Chi Lian.
The two walked and talked in hushed tones, the atmosphere solemn and heavy.
"Master, I've had a strange feeling all day. I feel like something's not right in the manor lately."
Chi Lian's voice was soft, yet carried a hint of warning.
"Perhaps someone really has infiltrated."
Wei Changxuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze instantly becoming even sharper.
Like a cold, piercing dagger slicing through the void.
A slight smile played on his lips, as if he wasn't surprised, and he replied with a hint of sarcasm:
"Oh? You dare to covet people from my Wei family? You've got some nerve."
Instruct the police to strengthen their defenses and thoroughly investigate every clue.
Whoever trespasses on my territory must pay the price!
As Wei Changxuan spoke, he glanced a few times at the hiding place of the nine-tailed fox princess.
This really scared the nine-tailed fox princess half to death!
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess heard their conversation and alarm bells rang in her heart.
She originally thought that her ability to hide was enough to keep her safe, but now it seems that Wei Changxuan has probably already noticed something.
She clenched her teeth, a strong sense of dread welling up inside her.
"This Wei Changxuan is no ordinary person; he can actually sense our presence at such a distance!"
Fortunately, we took precautions beforehand, otherwise we probably would have been exposed long ago.
This ally seems to be even stronger than I imagined!
She kept this information in mind and became even more cautious.
I decided that no matter what, I would not allow my plan to have any flaws.
Just then, the night was as dark as ink, and a faint chill permeated the silent air.
Night Princess's figure glided silently in the hazy moonlight, like a wisp of smoke.
Silently passing through the shadows of the trees and the corridors in the courtyard,
Finally, they returned to the secluded corner where the nine-tailed fox princess resided.
She walked cautiously, so carefully that even the sound of her clothes rubbing against the air was barely audible.
Upon arriving beside the nine-tailed fox princess, she bowed slightly and lowered her voice.
They spoke in a tone that only they could hear:
"Your Highness, I have already investigated."
Her tone was serious, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Despite her confidence in her stealth abilities, when she infiltrated the Wei residence,
I still felt an indescribable pressure.
The oppressive feeling came from all directions, making her dare not be careless in any of her actions.
"Wei Changxuan is extremely powerful, and his foundation is far beyond our imagination."
Night Princess paused, took a deep breath, and her gaze became even more serious and solemn.
"I was almost discovered as soon as I went out, and I was unable to conduct my investigation smoothly at all! Please punish me, Your Highness!"
"However, based on the intelligence I gathered in the capital earlier..."
He also had a hidden, enormous force working for him.
When this power was mentioned, a hint of apprehension flashed in Ye Ji's eyes.
"This force has a very wide distribution and mainly focuses on assassination and intelligence gathering."
With insidious and treacherous methods, this force harbors countless assassins and ruthless killers.
Some of these individuals are indeed among the top experts.
At the end, Ye Ji's tone suddenly turned serious, tinged with worry:
"Moreover, he... he seems to have already sensed our presence."
When those words were spoken, it was like a massive boulder being smashed into the center of a lake, instantly filling the entire space with a tense atmosphere.
The candlelight flickered, casting a dim light on the nine-tailed fox princess's stunningly beautiful face.
This made her amber eyes appear especially deep and unfathomable.
After hearing Ye Ji's report, the nine-tailed fox princess did not respond immediately.
Instead, she sat there quietly, her long eyelashes drooping gently, like a tranquil painting.
However, everyone could sense that beneath this tranquility lurked a storm of thoughts.
After a long while, the nine-tailed fox princess slowly raised her head. A faint smile played on her lips, while her eyes revealed sharpness and decisiveness.
"It seems that Wei Changxuan is even more powerful than we imagined."
Although this sentence is just a simple summary
But from her calm and composed tone, it was not hard to detect a sense of confidence.
Then, a hint of amusement and interest gradually appeared in her eyes, and she said to herself:
"However, this makes things even more interesting. With such strong allies, we can save ourselves a lot of effort!"
Although her voice was not loud, the certainty in it dispelled the heavy atmosphere that permeated the surroundings like an invisible force.
"Let's lie low for now, observe how the situation develops, and then make a plan."
As the nine-tailed fox princess spoke, she reached out and pinched a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear.
Her movements exuded an elegant yet deadly charm. Hearing this, Night Princess nodded slightly and respectfully replied:
"Yes, Your Highness."
…………
At this moment, the Wei residence was still brightly lit, and faint conversations and laughter could be heard.
But in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox princess, these appearances were nothing more than a turbulent storm beneath a calm surface.
Thinking of this, the nine-tailed fox princess's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile:
"Wei Changxuan, Emperor Yuanjing, and those so-called forces..."
Hmph, now that I, the Nine-Tailed Fox Princess, have joined this charade...
"Let me see who has the last laugh."
