Rebirth Of The Female Antagonist: - 158 Master, I Failed

“Ha.. Ha… Ha…”

A woman was running nonstop while someone was chasing behind her. She was filthy and full of dirt. Her hair was untied, and her dress was ripped.

‘I have to escape!! I can’t let them catch me… I… I have to return and tell Master[1] that—’

*swish*

“AHHHH!!!”

The woman could not help but scream when an arrow pierced her left shoulder. Her train of thoughts were disturbed as her focus shifted on the recent wound she received. She noticed that the arrow was smeared by poison. She could not help but grit her teeth when she forcefully pulled the arrow from her left shoulder while running.

‘Shit… This is bone-weakening poison. I have to find a place to hide!’

The woman felt her limbs were starting to soften. The bone-weakening poison was a poison that could weaken the bones of a person. Once someone got inflicted, the poison would slowly penetrate the bones, eroding it until it turned soft and jelly. The person would no longer have the ability to move any part of his body since he could no longer have the ability to control his bones.

‘How did those bastards acquire a bone-weakening poison? Aside from those eccentric poison master of the other sects in Wulin and a few of those nasty people from JiangHu, only Master has the knowledge to create those things. Those high-end poison masters from the different sects would never involve themselves with those malicious ruffians in order not to tarnish their own sect’s reputation, and those selected people who were notable with their poison skills in the entire JiangHu were greedy and would definitely decline unless they were offered with unlimited wealth…if I am correct, someone must have infiltrated during her master’s absence.

The woman could not help but curse. After her master left five years ago, she was ordered to hide her identity. She was one of the spies who were instructed to infiltrate every sector in the industry. She did not expect that during her work, she had stumble upon a great information regarding to her master’s mother. She wanted to slowly unfurl the secret, but she did not expect that her movements were found out and was caught immediately.

Although her situation was not good, the woman’s face was full of determination.

She had to escape!

*swish!* *swish!*

The woman immediately changed direction when she heard the sound of the arrows flying towards her.

*baaam!*

The woman fell on the ground. Her right foot would no longer move.

“No… I can’t fall here… I have to return!”

The woman’s eyes sharpened and forced herself to stand up. Sensing the upcoming enemy, the woman grabbed a small twig on the ground and mercilessly struck the enemy’s neck, twisting it roughly before she broke it into two.

The woman pushed the man away and forcefully dragged herself forward. she kept running and running and running endlessly, not caring that she no longer knew her exact location. As long as she could escape, she would run forward nonstop. The night was deep and dark, hindering her from seeing her surroundings.

“Ha.. Ha.. Ha..”

When the woman successfully got out of the forest, she found out that in front of her was a steep cliff. When she lowered her head, she could faintly see the outline of a small river below the cliff and hear the sound of the gushing water. She could only stop and retract her footsteps. Unfortunately, before she could even move away, another batch of arrows simultaneously flew towards her.

*swish!* *swish!* *swish*

“Ah!!!”

The woman was hit on her back and left calf. The impact forced her to move forward. Unable to stop herself, the woman fell off the cliff.

‘Master… please forgive Ling’er… Ling’er failed.’

The woman slowly closed her eyes. A tear slowly rolled down on her face.

“Your Lordship.” Five men in black clothes simultaneously kneeled.

When Xu Fei Yi left XuanRong’s courtyard, the shadow guards hiding in the dark went forward and greeted him.

“Rise. Where did Your Ladyship go?”

“Her Ladyship went to the right wing together with her three maidservants.” One of the shadow guards answered.

“Mmm.. Follow me.” Xu Fei Yi’s eyes sharpened when he stared at the direction where XuanRong went.

“Yes, Your Lordship. This subordinate obeys.”

——–

“Stop.”

XuanRong raised her hand, stopping YuShen and the rest from moving forward.

XuanRong lowered her head and saw the entire layout of the place where the delegation from the Jing country stayed. It was a former residence of an imperial prince but was later on converted into a place where the guests from other countries reside. After the Emperor’s birthday banquet, aside from Jing Country who decided to stay, all of the delegates from the other countries returned to their own country.

Thus, the only ones who were occupying the entire residence was Long Hao Chen and his subordinates.

“One, two, three, four… five men on the east side and three at the front. YuShen, go to the west wing.”
