Chapter 229: A Mystery
Su Yinyin glanced at the man in black, her lips curling up in a disdainful smile, and said, "Hmph, you think I'll just come in because you tell me to? I'm not stupid."
The man in black sneered, his laughter seemingly laced with ice. "Princess Anguo, do you think you have any other choice now? If you don't go in, you'll never know the secret behind this."
Su Yinyin remained unmoved, crossed her arms, and raised her head, saying, "So what? This princess is not threatened by you."
At this moment, the old man leaned closer to Su Yinyin and said in a low voice, "Miss, why don't we carefully probe her? Maybe we can find a crucial clue."
Su Yinyin arrogantly flicked her sleeve and said, "If we arrest him, we might be able to find some clues."
The man in black sneered, "The princess is truly arrogant."
He then pointed at the old man and said, "He can beat those two good-for-nothings. But he's far from being able to fight me!"
Su Yinyin raised an eyebrow, a sharp glint flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said, "Oh, you're that capable? How about I have my men meet you?"
The man in black crossed his arms, his face full of disdain, as if mocking Su Yinyin's overestimation of her abilities. "Princess, send people if you want. I want to see who has the ability."
Su Yinyin looked at the first elder and nodded slightly.
The first man immediately understood and, with a ghostly movement, attacked the man in black.
The man in black dodged to the side with clean and swift movements, then countered with a backhand strike, and the two instantly became evenly matched.
The old man used all his skills, each move extremely fierce, accompanied by a whistling sound.
However, the man in black handled the situation with ease, moving lightly and showing no sign of panic.
After dozens of rounds, the first one gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Su Yinyin frowned deeply, her brows furrowing like a small mountain, and shouted, "Step back!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Yi quickly withdrew and retreated, his forehead already covered in sweat.
The man in black laughed smugly, "Princess, is that all you've got?"
Su Yinyin snorted coldly, her voice like the north wind in winter, "Don't be too smug, this princess still has experts to show."
As she spoke, she looked at a master behind her. The man bowed in greeting, his eyes filled with determination, and then leaped out to fight the man in black.
This time, the battle was even more intense, with the two exchanging blows and neither giving an inch.
The wind howled and dust swirled inside the temple, as if a small storm had broken out.
Just as everyone was focused on the fierce battle, suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the shadows like a black lightning bolt, rushing straight at Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin was startled, her heart seemed to stop for a moment, and she dodged to the side.
But the shadowy figure was incredibly fast, like a ghost, and was about to catch Su Yinyin.
Just at this critical moment, the old man suddenly rushed over, standing like a towering mountain in front of Su Yinyin, and engaged in combat with the black figure.
"Miss, are you alright?" the old man called out anxiously while fending off the attacks from the shadowy figure, his voice filled with concern.
Su Yinyin steadied herself, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm fine, just be careful!"
"Hmph, daring to ambush this princess, I'll make sure you never return!" Su Yinyin watched the two clash, her beautiful eyes wide with anger.
The shadowy figure dodged left and right, its movements gradually slowing down as it struggled to defend itself.
At this moment, the expert who was fighting with the man in black also seized the opportunity to exert his strength, his sword moving like a dragon, trying to subdue the man in black as soon as possible.
The battle between the shadowy figure and the old man intensified, like two trapped beasts fighting to the death.
Su Yinyin could tell they were forcing her to take action, to confirm whether she was the woman from the mountain.
In that brief moment, Su Yinyin thought about many things.
So he said, "You two, quickly take them down."
Su Yinyin knew that even if she captured experts like them...
We won't be able to get any information out of them.
It's impossible to get them to betray their master.
Even if you bring them under your control, they will not truly submit to you.
Then kill them all!
Upon hearing Su Yinyin's command, the first and the expert (the second) sharpened their eyes, their auras surging and their moves becoming increasingly ruthless.
The old man gritted his teeth, fighting back against the shadowy figure's attacks, and roared, "Today is your death day!"
The sound, like thunder, echoed through the temple.
The expert fighting the man in black suddenly changed his sword technique, unleashing a torrent of swordplay like a rain of pear blossoms, aiming for the man in black's vital points.
The man in black gradually found himself unable to hold his own, and his face turned extremely pale.
The man in black felt a sense of foreboding and tried to find a chance to escape.
But Su Yinyin's men wouldn't let him have his way. They pressed forward relentlessly, like an iron barrel, giving the man in black no chance to breathe.
Old One, on the other hand, was giving it his all, trying to kill the shadowy figure with a single blow.
The man in black sensed danger and tried to escape, but was held back by a master.
The shadowy figure was also held back by the old man and could not escape.
Two flashes of cold light appeared, and the man in black was unable to dodge in time. He was stabbed in the shoulder blade by a sword, and blood splattered everywhere.
The shadowy figure was struck in the abdomen by the old man, screamed in pain, and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that things were not going well, the shadowy figure tried to break away to help the man in black, but was held back by the old man.
"Don't even think about running!" the old man roared, like a lion's bellow.
Finally, after a fierce exchange, the expert spotted an opening in the man in black and struck him in a vital spot with his sword.
The man in black screamed and collapsed to the ground, dead, his eyes still wide open.
At the same time, the old man also did his best to deliver a fatal blow to the shadowy figure.
The temple fell silent instantly, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd remaining.
Su Yinyin stepped forward, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said coldly, "This is what happens when you oppose this princess."
Su then walked over to another man in black and said coldly, "Speak, who sent you?"
The man in black gritted his teeth, his face resolute. "Princess, you need not ask any more questions. Kill me if you must."
Su Yinyin sneered: "This princess will certainly not let you die a quick death."
She turned to her second son and ordered, "Take him back to the mansion and torture him until he reveals who the mastermind is."
The older man said, "Miss, what should we do next?"
Su Yinyin pondered for a moment, her gaze deep, "The more they want me to know the truth, the less I will give in to their wishes. Let's go home."
After tidying up, the group returned to the Su residence with the captured man in black.
As soon as they entered the mansion, Su Yinyin gave the order: "Keep a close watch on this person, and no one is allowed to approach him."
The first and second sons accepted the order and left in haste.
Su Yinyin returned to her room to rest for a while.
Before long, the old man came to report: "Miss, the man in black still refuses to speak."
Su Yinyin frowned deeply, her brows furrowing like knotted threads. "Continue with the torture. I never believed we couldn't pry his mouth open."
However, two hours passed, and the man in black remained tight-lipped.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yinyin decided to go and meet him in person.
