NovelEnglishChapter 6
The sun and the moon alternated, and time passed quickly. Six years later.
In the imperial capital, the pitch-black night sky was like the open mouth of a giant beast. It was a moonless and windy night, filled with murder and arson.
A petite black figure headed to the most luxurious mansion in the imperial capital, the Ninth Prince’s Residence, at the fastest speed.
After entering the city, the impregnable Ninth Prince’s Residence could be seen from afar. The woman in black completely concealed her aura, like a breeze across the sky. She avoided the many imperial and secret guards in the residence and sneaked in quietly.
An hour later, the woman in black finally found the location of the Ninth Prince’s Residence’s treasury.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter successfully knocking out the guards outside the treasury with the incense, the black-clothed woman pulled down the veil on her face, revealing a small face that was as white as Jade. She gently let out a sigh of relief and then secretly gritted her teeth in the direction of the main room.
That’s right, this woman was Su Qian.
It was indeed not easy to sneak into the Ninth Prince’s Residence. The Ninth Prince was indeed a pervert. She had obtained the map of the Ninth Prince’s Residence half a month ago and had been waiting to come here tonight to get something.
But who knew that there were so many secret guards in the Ninth Prince’s Residence! The entire royal residence was like an iron wall. If she wasn’t good at hiding her aura, she wouldn’t have been able to break in here.
Quickly taking out the key from the unconscious guard, Su Qian opened the door to the treasury and slipped in.
As soon as she stepped into the treasury, Su Qian was almost blinded by the dazzling array of good items.
However, Su Qian wasn’t interested in gold and silver. She was here today to find a mysterious grade medicinal herb called the Dancing Phoenix.
This herb was very important to her. No matter how big the price, she had to take it away.
Su Qian held her breath and sniffed the air.
Very quickly, her sensitive nose caught a trace of an enchanting fragrance.
Su Qian’s phoenix-like eyes lit up as she dashed toward the fragrance. From a distance, she discovered a crystal platform in the depths of the treasury. On top of it was a blood-colored flower that was in full bloom like a phoenix, and it was emitting waves of fragrance.
She found it!
She didn’t think that such a precious medicinal herb would be so easy to obtain. Su Qian narrowed her eyes and indeed found a silver thread on the petal of the Dancing Phoenix.
The cobweb was extremely thin, and it could be broken with a breath of air, which would then trigger the mechanism.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Qian followed the silver wire and destroyed the mechanism in the ceiling. In a flash, she grabbed the Dancing Phoenix on the crystal platform.
Su Qian squinted her eyes and picked up the Dancing Phoenix. Then, she heard a crisp sound.
The corner of her lips, which was covered by the face cloth, stiffened. Su Qian saw that there was a groove under the Dancing Phoenix. When the Dancing Phoenix’s weight pressed on it, the groove would sink in. Now that the Dancing Phoenix’s weight was gone, the groove bounced up, and a series of mechanisms were triggered!
Ding ring ring!
The ear-piercing sound of the copper bell triggered by the mechanism rang out in the dark night. At the same time, the floor tiles under Su Qian’s feet suddenly opened up, and a large pit over ten meters deep appeared under her feet!
Alarmed, Su Qian first put the Dancing Phoenix in her arms, and as she fell into the deep pit, she raised her hand and red silk shot out from her sleeve and wrapped around the beam.
With a burst of spiritual energy, Su Qian’s figure was dragged out by the red silk, and she could only watch helplessly as the door of the treasury was broken open by a large group of secret guards!
“Thief, don’t you dare leave!” The secret guards drew their swords at their waists in unison. The sharp blades glowed with a cold light, and their killing intent soared!
