Chapter 305 Sometimes, it's better not to know too much.
As the anesthetic needles shot out like meteors, the shadowy figures, still in a state of confusion, were hit before they could react at all.
Their bodies suddenly stiffened, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a slight stinging pain, and a strange power instantly invaded his entire body. It was as if the bones in his limbs and bones had been removed, and he collapsed limply to the ground, his eyes wide open, but he could no longer move.
The old man sensed something was wrong and inwardly cried out in alarm. He tried to use his movement technique to dodge, but it was too late. A tranquilizer dart grazed his arm.
"You... what kind of sorcery is this!" The master was both shocked and furious, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He felt a numbing sensation spreading rapidly along his arm like a snake, so fast that he had no time to use his internal energy to resist.
But he was, after all, highly skilled, and had spent many years in the martial arts world, so his willpower was extraordinary.
He gritted his teeth and continued to confront Su Yinyin, trying to find an opportunity to turn the tide.
Su Yinyin sneered, her eyes filled with disdain, "This isn't some kind of sorcery. You'll just have to surrender today!"
Having said that, she held back without holding back at all, her long sword flashing with a few sword flowers, her swordsmanship becoming increasingly fierce, like a sudden storm.
Every move was aimed directly at the master's vitals, each sword strike accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, seemingly intent on tearing the enemy before him apart completely.
Due to the effects of the anesthetic, the master's once agile movements gradually became sluggish, and his usual nimbleness was greatly diminished. He could only barely parry Su Yinyin's fierce attacks.
Several small wounds had gradually appeared on his body, and blood was slowly seeping out, staining his clothes red.
Just as Su Yinyin was preparing to deliver the final blow to the master and end the battle once and for all.
Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the entrance of the secret passage. The sound surged like a tide, as if a large group of people were rushing towards them.
Su Yinyin was startled. In this perilous situation, she had no way of knowing whether the approaching party was friend or foe.
Upon seeing this, the old man's face, which had been contorted with pain, revealed a smug smile, as if he had seen a savior arrive. "Hmph, Su Yinyin, do you think you can escape? My reinforcements have arrived!"
Just now, as he discovered his men falling to the ground one after another, he used his profound inner strength to secretly trigger a mechanism hidden in a corner, sending a distress signal to his guards.
Su Yinyin quickly thought it over. Given the current situation, she absolutely could not sit here and wait to die.
The old man had already arrived at her side. "Miss, what should we do?"
The old man asked in a low voice, his voice steady, but his eyes revealed a hint of worry.
Su Yinyin glanced at the old man who was still struggling, her gaze firm, and said decisively, "Capture him first, and we'll find another way out through the secret passage!"
Having said that, the old man moved like a black lightning bolt, instantly closing in and striking the old man heavily with a palm strike.
The old man groaned, rolled his eyes, and stopped moving.
The old man effortlessly hoisted him onto his shoulder and turned to run deeper into the secret passage.
The secret passage was dimly lit and filled with a damp, musty smell. The oil lamps on the walls flickered weakly, as if they might go out at any moment.
They ran along, their feet sinking into the uneven stone path, which nearly caused them to fall several times.
The footsteps behind them grew closer and closer, like the footsteps of death closing in, clearly indicating that the enemy was in hot pursuit.
As Su Yinyin ran, she nervously observed the situation in the secret passage, her eyes gleaming, hoping to find another exit or a hiding place to shake off her pursuers.
Suddenly, a stone gate appeared ahead. The gate was tightly closed and covered with strange runes.
The runes seemed to possess some kind of mysterious power, shimmering with an eerie light under the dim lamplight.
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi tried to push the stone door with force, but the stone door did not budge, as if it were integrated with the earth.
Just when they were extremely anxious and felt that hope was fading, Su Yinyin keenly noticed a groove next to the stone door. The shape of the groove seemed to be similar to a symbol she had seen on the wall of the secret passage.
Without thinking twice, Su Yinyin quickly took out a stone of the same shape from her spatial storage.
She had stumbled upon this stone while exploring the secret passage, and she never expected it to come in handy now.
She placed the stone into the groove, and after a slight turning of the mechanism, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a downward passage.
The passageway was filled with a pungent odor, like the smell of some unknown medicine evaporating, but they didn't care and hurriedly led the master into the passageway.
The stone gate closed swiftly behind them, temporarily keeping the pursuers out.
A pungent odor filled the passage, but they ignored it and continued running down.
After running for a while, the passage suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground cave.
The cave was filled with all sorts of strange weapons and boxes. The weapons gleamed with a cold light and seemed to have been meticulously crafted, while the boxes looked extremely heavy, and it was unknown what was inside.
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi cautiously observed their surroundings, their ears catching every subtle sound in case of hidden danger.
Just then, the footsteps coming from the secret passage grew closer and closer; it seemed the enemy was about to catch up.
Su Yinyin looked at the first elder and said solemnly, "Jin, take him away first and hand him over to His Majesty. I'll pack these things."
As Su Yinyin spoke, she looked at the items, her eyes shining brightly.
She knew that these weapons and the contents of the boxes were likely the key evidence to uncover the entire conspiracy and would be crucial for the emperor's future purge of the rebels.
Lao Yi naturally understood what Su Yinyin meant by tidying up these things.
He nodded, his eyes revealing determination and trust, and said, "Miss, please be careful."
Having said that, the old man carried the unconscious master and headed towards the other end of the cave...
Su Yinyin wasn't stupid. She knew that important figures like the master should be handed over to the emperor for interrogation, while she was responsible for arresting people and collecting evidence.
Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing, as it can easily bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself.
Su Yinyin quickly took out a cloth bag. The bag looked ordinary, but it was actually very spacious and was one of her treasures.
She began packing the boxes and weapons into the bags, her movements swift and efficient.
With each item she packed, she silently thought to herself, "These are all evidence of the enemy's crimes, irrefutable proof of their attempt to overthrow the Great Zhou Kingdom."
After completing this series of actions, Su Yinyin watched as the enemy drew closer and closer, their footsteps becoming clearly audible.
She calmly drew her sword and poison, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever.
Since they were all enemies, she couldn't leave these menaces behind; she had to find a way to break through.
As the enemy surrounded her like a tidal wave, Su Yinyin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
She quickly opened the bottle containing poison, and a pungent odor instantly filled the air.
Before the enemy could react, they all covered their mouths and noses, but it was too late.
Moments later, those people fell to the ground one by one, dead, their faces still bearing expressions of terror.
