d patted his shoulder. "Take the night to think things through. Tomorrow when you wake up, we still have important matters to attend to, don't forget about the prince's plan."Yun Wu nodded slightly. W...With Da Zi, they truly didn't need to separate and search. After all, Da Zi had an incredibly sensitive nose that could smell the unique scent of the special medicinal pouches on both Xunluo and Ning'er.

This was still a medicinal pouch that An Xuetang had specially asked everyone around her to wear. Because of this pouch, An Xuetang's big purple or little green companions could find her by the scent left behind by the pouch.

An Xuetang patted Da Zi's behind, and Da Zi let out a woof and ran forward.

Walking along, everyone suddenly realized that this was the path leading to the back mountain of Jinchuan Temple.

Entering the woods behind the mountain, Dazi gradually slowed her pace and glanced back at An Xuetang.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes and exchanged a glance with Fengming. The two nodded at each other.

Before Yunliu and the others could react, An Xuetang and Fengming suddenly dashed towards a tree.

Feng Ming flew directly up, while An Xue Tang stood under the tree with Da Zi.

Yunliu and Shiyi looked at each other, before they could react, the four people hiding in the trees were all forced down by Fengming's cry.

As soon as they landed, An Xuetang immediately took action. She coordinated with Dazhi; Dazhi charged forward, while An Xuetang seized the opportunity, her dagger instantly piercing the black-clad man's chest.

The man in black instantly widened his eyes. After An Xuetang drew her dagger, he fell straight back.

After one was dealt with, the other three were quickly subdued by Feng Ming and Yun Liu, and Yun Shi.

Phoenix pulled the black veil from the man's face. He clearly wasn't from Tianba Nation.

They clearly look like people from the Western Regions.

Eleven and Yunliu also pulled away the face coverings of the other two. They had similar features, with high noses and sunken eye sockets, which were quite distinctive.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Brother, who is this person"

"People from the Western Regions."

"The Western Regions... how far are they from here"

"To reach the capital of Tianba Kingdom, they would have to pass through several smaller kingdoms first, finally entering Tianba's territory via Xuan Guo."

"Is it true that Tianba Kingdom allows people from the Western Regions to enter freely"

Yunliu was familiar with this matter. Upon hearing An Xuetang mention it, he immediately explained, "Your Highness, people from the Western Regions cannot enter the territory of Tianba Kingdom."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "So they sneaked in But so many people from the Western Regions, it's impossible for them to enter the Tianba Kingdom without a sound. Unless... there are officials helping them smuggle in."

Then, An Xue Tang looked at the three surviving people from Xili, "Brother, do you think they can understand us"

"You'd have to ask them."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng Ming struck the man's shoulder with an elbow. The man immediately contorted in pain.

"Tell me, what do you want"

Feng Ming said in a cold voice, this person just showed a pained expression, but didn't mean to speak to Feng Ming at all.

Maybe he didn't understand, or maybe he just didn't want to pay attention to Fengming.

Not only the person in Feng Ming's hands, but also the two people controlled by Yunliu and Eleven were the same. They were like puppets, their eyes hollow one by one.

An Xuetang's mind flashed, "Oh no! I've been discovered!"

As soon as she finished speaking, An Xuetang immediately drew her dagger and lunged at the three men in black.

...when they were about to kill them. ...

Yunliu and Yunxi were greatly puzzled. Yunliu frowned and said, "Your Highness, we haven't gotten anything out of them yet."

"It's useless," An Xuetang shook her head slightly. "These people have already had their minds controlled. They only have their own thoughts in the moment they die."

"...."

...Whatever ideology, whatever way of thinking… Yunliu and Shiyi listened vaguely, still not understanding.

Feng Ming then glanced at the corpse on the ground thoughtfully and said, "Do you think these four people are just puppets, A Tang"

"Yes, they are just puppets. Haven't you noticed their empty eyes, their clouded pupils They have already lost their ability to think for themselves."

Not only that, but right now, the people behind them already know we're here. The moment they engage with me, whoever is controlling them will have guessed our presence through their bodies' changes.

Although An Xuetang is not a divine being and does not use gu, she has seen people under hypnosis in modern times. People hypnotized and controlled in the 21st century are just like those who were just now.

His eyes were vacant, he would do things subconsciously, but without his own thoughts.

Hearing An Xuetang finish speaking, Feng Ming frowned. "A-Tang, it's a gu. As your brother, I have researched gu worms. I know of a type of gu that can control a person's willpower, making them obedient and unaware of what they've done afterward."

That's it.

Yun Liu's eyes revealed worry, "Then your Highness, what should we do next We haven't found Xunluo and Ninger yet. The longer we wait, the more I fear they'll be in greater danger."

"Yes, let's go."

An Xuetang naturally thought of this, but the medicine pouches on Xunluo and Ning'er didn't seem to emit any smell.

Because Big Zi sniffed and sniffed, but the smell was extremely faint, so sometimes it wasn't quite sure which way to go.

An Xuetang pursed her lips, she carefully looked at the traces on the ground. This group of people were really cautious, there weren't even footprints on the ground.

Feng Ming and Eleven were responsible for checking the traces on each tree, to see if the enemy would leave any clues.

Yunliu also searched on the ground, and soon he suddenly found an extremely thin thread, "Your Highness, come and have a look."

An Xuetang, hearing the sound, quickly turned around and walked over. Yun Liu picked up this extremely inconspicuous thread hanging on the grass:

"Your Highness, Ning'er is wearing white today. Could this white thread belong to her"

An Xuetang reached out and took it from his hand, examining it carefully. "It should be," she said.

An Xuetang looked at Dazipacing in the direction of Yunliu's location and where she had been before, she pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I know, they must have gone their separate ways."

During their conversation, An Xuetang looked up at Fengming, “Brother, let’s split up and search. Luò and Níng'er were likely taken separately, so Dazi smelled faint traces in two directions, which is why he couldn’t pinpoint the location immediately.”

"Okay, Yun Liu Sixty-One, you two go down this path, and I will..."

"Young Master Feng, let's go this way," Yunliu said. Then, he took Eleven and flew towards where they had discovered the loose threads on Ning'er's clothes.

Before Feng Ming could even speak, An Xue Tang grabbed his arm. "Brother, let's hurry. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes to search for Luo."

Da Zi, receiving the order from An Xue Tang, suddenly rushed to the front. Then, seemingly remembering something, it abruptly stopped and ran back to An Xue Tang's side, squatting down halfway.f people immediately went to Zhi'er's courtyard. After entering, An Xuetang found Shuangshuang was also there.I initially wanted to have Ning'er take Shuangshuang away first, but since Master Mingdeng...
