Chapter 436: Night Raid and Calm… (2/2)

“Tell him, if he wants to keep on with this assassination stuff, keep coming, but remember to send a Grandmaster next time, or we won’t feel any sense of accomplishment in killing them. As for us leaving, this has never been in our consideration before and it will not be in the future. I don’t care what he’s planning to do, but I sure hope he won’t go too far!” Bai Xiaofei paused a little, then continued, “I have four words for him. How the situation develops will depend on whether he will listen to these four words.”

As everyone paid close attention, Bai Xiaofei slowly spoke.

“Knowing when it’s enough!”

With this, Bai Xiaofei got up, looked at Chu Yue, and nodded. Chu Yue released his control on the assassin.

Regaining his mobility, the assassin’s eyes were filled with surprise and hesitation. Especially when Bai Xiaofei’s group opened a path for him, he felt like his world view had been overturned. What on earth is this situation?

“You only have ten seconds. If you don’t want to leave, you can remain here forever.”

As soon as those words finished, the assassin rushed out. Looking at his figure that was fast as the wind, everyone sneered.

“Are we really doing nothing?” Qin Lingyan was still a bit concerned.

“What else can we do? If Tang Bing plans to do anything, we can only wait for it. And he must act blatantly for us to counter. With sneak attacks like tonight, we can’t do anything to him even if we catch his people.”

There was a hint of helplessness in Bai Xiaofei’s tone. He didn’t want to let go of the duck delivered to his doorstep either, but he had no choice. The only thing that he could do now was try to make Tang Bing flustered…

And as it turned out, Tang Bing was indeed flustered. In the next half a month, there was no other move from him. However, the empress’ spirit worsened and worsened every day. In recent days, she couldn’t even go to court.

To Bai Xiaofei’s confusion, the empress seemed to have forgotten about the attempted assassination. She didn’t seem to have any intention of punishing Tang Bing at all, up until she collapsed…

In fact, it wasn’t that the empress didn’t want to hold Tang Bing accountable, but that she couldn’t even control herself at all.

In front of a Master Rank Spirit Stream puppet master, her mind was as weak as a child and completely unable to defend against Tang Bing. The reason why she suddenly collapsed was also due to Tang Bing’s relentless mind control.

This was like chronic poisoning. When the poison finally took effect, even the imperial physicians couldn’t find out the reason. Everyone could only watch as the empress gradually fell into a coma. Just like that, Ancient Yue entered a leaderless period!

No court, no future, everyone started to fidget. Even Shen Qiandong and the imperial scholar panicked. They then grouped up to find the fourth great prince, hoping that he could step out and preside over the situation.

However, when they came to the door, the fourth great prince chose to keep his doors closed. Shut out, the two old men were at a loss.
