The voice came from all directions. “Open the box!”

Shi Zonghao looked around, took two steps back, and opened the box.

There were stacks of banknotes in the box. Those who were greedy would probably lose their mind immediately.

Shi Zonghao raised his voice and said, “Not a cent less. Please return the heir to us.”

There were no snakes or animals on the tree today. There was only Li Yuan’an, who looked like a kite hanging on a tree. He was so pitiful.

Chu Qingzhi scanned the box with her divine sense and checked that the banknotes in the box were all real. She said, “Just go and get him yourself.” Shi Zonghao immediately waved at the person behind him. “Go and take the heir down.”

“Yes, my lord.” The two subordinates were skilled in martial arts. They flew up the tree and rescued Li Yuan’an. For some reason, they felt that Li Yuan’an seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The two of them helped Li Yuan’an down.

Shi Zonghao looked around warily, afraid that the two of them would go back on their word. He said, “Send the heir back.”

“Yes.” The two people holding Li Yuan’an left in a hurry.

Shi Zonghao cupped his hands. “Heroes, we’ve delivered the money. We’ll take our leave.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Go ahead.”

Shi Zonghao turned around and ran away with his subordinates.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong landed beside the box.

Chu Qingzhi asked jokingly, “Jinghong, are you tempted by so much money?”

“I’m tempted, but I can restrain myself.” Looking at so much money, it was only normal for people to feel tempted, but what mattered was whether they could control themselves.

Chu Qingzhi patted the edge of the box. “This is all fleeced from the people. How are you planning to deal with this money?”

Tang Jinghong took out 100,000 taels of silver and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “This is for you. I plan to use the rest to help the people who are suffering in the northern border.”

Chu Qingzhi took the banknotes. She didn’t feel guilty taking a small portion of the money as her reward. “Other than this money, there’s also the gold in Wan Zhilin’s secret room.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Yes, but there’s no hurry. We’ll settle the matters in the northern border before using them to help the people.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

Suddenly, she grabbed Tang Jinghong’s hand and an anger surged. “You are poisoned!”

Tang Jinghong’s fingers were black, and the poison spread very quickly. In just a short while, his hands were black, as if they had been smeared with ink.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly held Tang Jinghong’s hand and used her spiritual power to help him remove the poison. Under the effect of her spiritual power, Tang Jinghong recovered.

Tang Jinghong felt extremely complicated. If not for Qingzhi, he would have died again.

He had said that he would protect Qingzhi, but in the end, Qingzhi was the one protecting him every time. He felt so useless.

“Everyone who came today will not return!”

Chu Qingzhi was very angry. She flew to the branch and took out the jade flute. At the same time, she injected her spiritual power into the flute. As a tune sounded, Shi Zonghao and the others were fixated on the spot.

Shi Zonghao had brought more than 500 people over. At this moment, they were all lying in ambush 200 meters away from the withered tree. They were waiting for the two of them to be poisoned before killing them in one strike.

However, when a breeze blew past, they realized that they could no longer move. It was as if an invisible force was pressing down on them.

Everyone was instantly terrified. “What happened? Why can’t 1 move?”

Shi Zonghao was walking when he realized that he could not move. His expression changed drastically, and he was terrified. “What’s going on?!”

That pair of senior and junior brothers had evil techniques. It was said that they came from a hidden family. This had long spread in the northern border. Initially, he did not believe it, but now that he experienced it firsthand, he was terrified.

Just as the assassins were panicking, a melody sounded, accompanied by a ripple of white light that hit their bodies.

Everyone felt as if a thousand-pound rock had crashed into them. Their chests hurt, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

After being hit a few times, they were no longer breathing.

Chu Qingzhi did not kill Li Yuan’an. She wanted Li Yuan’an to die on the execution platform. However, everyone else, including Shi Zonghao, was dead.

The ten trusted aides of the Lord of the Northern Border had become nine.

“The people from the northern border were really sinister. They actually put on the banknotes. If she was a mortal, she and Jinghong would probably be two corpses by now.

It seemed that she had to be extra careful from now on.

“Qingzhi…”

“Jinghong, I know what you want to say. Don’t feel bad. I’m not hurt.” Jinghong’s pride might have suffered a blow, so she comforted him.

Tang Jinghong didn’t know what to say. He swore to himself that he would treat Qingzhi better in the future.

Tang Jinghong moved the box into the cave. Chu Qingzhi used an illusion to hide it. The bear stayed here to watch. There were still many wolves around. It was safe.

“Jinghong, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and left in another direction.

The person who was sent to reinforce Shi Zonghao waited outside the forest for a long time, but no one came out, so she sent a few people into the forest to check.

He had not come out for so long. Could it be that he had perished with that pair of junior and senior brothers?

In the end, they saw corpses all over the ground. Moreover, the faces of the dead were filled with fear, and their eyes looked very terrifying.

“What did they experience? Did they see a ghost?”

“Cut that crap. It was that pair of junior and senior brothers who killed them. The people from the hidden families are indeed not to be trifled with. So many people were actually wiped out without a sound.”

“Yeah, we only heard the tune outside. We didn’t hear any fighting.”

“A tune?”

“Isn’t that the ultimate technique of those two?”

Everyone shuddered. They looked around and quickly left the forest.

The person who was sent to reinforce Shi Zonghao was called Tang Jianying. She was in charge of the crossbows in the northern border and was ordered to kill that pair of junior and senior brothers.

Tang Jianying was a fierce-looking woman in her thirties. “Where’s the heir?”

The subordinate replied, “We didn’t see the heir!”

“Go back and find the heir. I want to see him alive.”

“Yes.”

“No need. I’m out.” Li Yuan’an rushed out of the forest. He stumbled and looked disheveled.

Tang Jianying rushed forward. “Your Highness!”

“Let’s go back. I’m about to starve to death!” Li Yuan’an had not eaten for almost two days. He was so hungry that his vision was blurry.

“Yes.” Tang Jianying gave the order to return immediately..
