Chapter 42 Venturing into the Tiger's Den

After a frenzied and intense revelry, Princess Duanyang collapsed onto her chair like a limp rag doll,

drenched in sweat, panting and unable to move, drowsy and half-asleep.

Wu Tianjiao, on the other hand, was full of energy, vigorous and unstoppable. If they weren't in the palace and the inappropriate setting,

he could have lasted three days and three nights without ever losing his erection. Seeing that it was getting late, Wu Tianjiao dressed and hurriedly left

Duanyang Palace.

The palace was brightly lit, and Wu Tianjiao, led by a eunuch, left the palace, with the Crimson Dragon Beast

obediently following behind. The two, man and beast, walking through the palace, attracted the attention of the palace maids and eunuchs.

As Wu Tianjiao passed through a royal garden, a beautiful young woman approached. Upon seeing her, Wu

Tianjiao's eyes lit up. This young woman was extremely charming; her light blue, fitted outfit

accentuated her captivating curves. Under the cover of night, a wisp of beautiful long hair danced in the wind, revealing crescent-shaped eyebrows,

long and bright eyes, a delicate nose, and blushing cheeks. Her cherry-like face, like smooth jade, was flushed, and her delicate

skin was as white as snow. Her figure was graceful, pure, and innocent.

"What a beautiful girl!"

Wu Tianjiao thought to himself, his gaze following the figure of the girl in green. The girl in green was also looking at Wu

Tianjiao , especially at the red dragon beast behind him.

When the eunuch leading the way saw the girl in green, he immediately became apprehensive,

bowed , and respectfully greeted her, "Lord Sima!"

The girl in green did not reply, nor did she even glance at the eunuch. Her sharp gaze

swept over Wu Tianjiao and the red dragon beast. As they passed each other, Wu Tianjiao felt the sharp edge of the young woman's gaze, and his heart

tightened. He watched her leave, and when he heard the eunuch address the girl as "My Lady," he was surprised and asked,

"Who is she?"

The eunuch, not daring to be negligent, replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, that is Lady Sima Ying, a secret agent of the Ministry of Justice!"

He paused, then added, as if afraid Wu Tianjiao might not understand, "She is

the daughter of Sima Kong, the most renowned constable in the land!"

Oh! Wu Tianjiao suddenly understood and laughed, "So she's the daughter of Constable Sima! No wonder

she's so arrogant! What's she doing here in the palace?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "This servant doesn't know, but Miss Sima is the Empress's adopted daughter.

She used to frequently visit the Empress in the palace. Perhaps she's here to visit the Empress!"

"Your Majesty the Empress!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around, thinking, "What happened to Cao Tian'e? Since we

parted four years ago, I haven't heard from her at all. I've been in the capital for so long, and she hasn't sent anyone to look for me. She didn't even

attend the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration. It's really strange."

As he followed the eunuch leading the way out of the palace, Wu Tianjiao couldn't help but ask him, "Eunuch! Why can't I see

Her Majesty the Empress? She didn't even attend the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration?"

The eunuch's expression changed upon hearing this, and he smiled, "How would this servant know about such matters? If the Prince Consort wishes to see Her Majesty the Empress,

he can go to Kunhua Palace!"

Wu Tianjiao smiled and didn't ask any more questions. His curiosity grew, and he thought, "It seems I really need

to make a trip to Kunhua Palace to see Cao Tian'e!"

Led by the eunuch, Wu Tianjiao quickly left the inner palace. As soon as he left, he mounted the Crimson Dragon

Beast and galloped away from the palace.

On a rooftop not far from Jiangshan Tower, in the Central Street, stood a veiled

woman . She stood against the wind, her robes billowing in the breeze. Behind the veil, a pair of bright

eyes gleamed with rage.

"Wu Tianjiao, the humiliation you inflicted upon me, today you will pay with your life! Don't think that Wu

Wudi is backing you up; even if the five palace masters of the world were your protectors, you would still die tonight!"

The veiled woman stared at the empty Central Street below, muttering to herself.

Since the murder at Jiangshan Tower, and Wu Tianjiao's maid's fall to her death, the

Central Street had become considerably quieter, especially after nightfall, when almost no one could be seen.

"Miss, it's going to rain. You should go downstairs to take shelter,"

a veiled man in black quietly approached the veiled woman from behind and whispered.

"No! I want to see Wu Tianjiao reduced to a pulp, his bones turned to ash, only then can I quell the hatred in my heart!"

The masked woman stood silently, motionless, her voice as cold as snow on a snowy mountain: "Central Street is

where Wu Tianjiao will pass on his way back to the Jinyang Prince's Mansion. This opportunity must be seized!"

"Yes!"

the masked man in black replied.

At this time, it was nearly midnight, but the weather suddenly changed. Dark clouds filled the sky, growing thicker and thicker, seemingly pressing down lower and

lower, making the sky appear increasingly dark. Streaks of silver light flashed in the clouds, and the night wind howled overhead

, bringing with it a series of shrill whistles.

It was going to rain. In such terrible weather, there were no pedestrians on the streets. The emptiness, combined with the shrill howling of

the wind , made it seem like a ghost town.

Wu Tianjiao left the palace, riding his Crimson Dragon Beast, following his usual familiar route back to the Jinyang Prince's Mansion, completely

unaware that a trap awaited him ahead.

Riding atop the Crimson Dragon Beast, Wu Tianjiao's mind drifted to Empress Cao

Tian'e . Now, Cao Tian'e's strange behavior only deepened his confusion.

Disguised as a woman, the name "Yuen Slave Jiao" was given to him by Cao Tian'e. Others might not know that "Yuen

Slave Jiao" was Wu Tianjiao, but Cao Tian'e certainly did. Wu Tianjiao remembered seeing Feng Ying

and Hua Xiang during his last visit to the palace, and thought, "Perhaps I should go find Feng Ying and ask her what happened to the Empress?"

This thought brought him back to reality. Looking around, he realized he had unknowingly arrived at Central Street, with

Jiangshan Tower just ahead. Remembering that his maid Xiang'er had died at Jiangshan Tower, Wu Tianjiao was filled with rage and hatred—rage at Prince Fu and

Wu Tianhu's group, and hatred for his inability to avenge Xiang'er.

Just as he was filled with anger and resentment, the crimson dragon beast beneath him suddenly stopped, letting out a low roar.

Its large head warily stared ahead, refusing to take another step forward.

"Why did you stop? Hurry up!"

Wu Tianjiao urged, unable to contain himself as he noticed the crimson dragon beast had stopped.

But the Crimson Dragon Beast remained motionless, letting out low roars and pawing the ground with its right foreleg, appearing somewhat

restless.

Only then did Wu Tianjiao notice the Crimson Dragon Beast's unusual behavior, and a sense of alertness immediately arose in his heart. The Crimson Dragon Beast was a top-tier

magical beast , its senses far surpassing those of humans, and its premonition of danger was beyond human capabilities. Since the Crimson Dragon Beast had stopped and

seemed uneasy, it must have sensed danger ahead.

"Danger!"

Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat. His left hand instinctively pressed against the Dragon Soul Sword at his waist, intending to make the Crimson Dragon Beast detour

. But then he thought, "Since it knows there's danger, and I have the Crimson Dragon Beast, who's afraid of who! I'll see

what kind of danger it is!"

With this thought, Wu Tianjiao felt a surge of heroic spirit. Knowing there was a tiger in the mountain, he deliberately went towards it, saying to the Crimson Dragon Beast:

"Go ahead! Anyone who dares to block my way will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing its master's command, the Crimson Dragon Beast paused for a moment, then let out a low growl and slowly moved forward.

As a top-tier magical beast, the Crimson Dragon Beast naturally disregarded the dangers ahead, but for its

master 's safety, it had to warn him. Unexpectedly, its master showed no fear, knowing the danger yet still venturing forth;

this boldness filled it with admiration.

The night was not yet deep, but the streets were unusually quiet, save for the howling night wind and the clattering of the Crimson Dragon Beast's hooves.

Wu Tianjiao rode the Crimson Dragon Beast along the central street. The closer he got to Jiangshan Tower, the stronger the sense of danger grew in

his heart His pupils contracted, his brow furrowed, and his left hand gripped the scabbard of the Dragon Soul Sword tighter.

He secretly activated the Dragon Elephant Divine Art to the fifteenth level, his protective true energy spreading throughout his body. Under his divine sense's probing, sure enough,

many people were hidden on the rooftops and in the shadows on both sides of the street.

"Damn it! There really is danger!"

Seeing the assassins lurking on both sides of the street, Wu Tianjiao gasped, feeling fortunate that the Crimson Dragon

Beast had alerted him to the danger. Otherwise, if he hadn't been riding the Crimson Dragon Beast but an ordinary horse,

he would have entered the ambush without warning and died without even knowing how!

"Who wants to kill me..." This thought had just flashed through Wu Tianjiao's mind when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine. In an instant, a series of whooshing sounds filled the air

around him , as if a dense barrage of projectiles

were attacking Wu Tianjiao and the Crimson Dragon Beast from all directions.

Arrows, needles, knives, darts... countless hidden weapons rained down upon him in a frenzy, incredibly dense!

If Wu Tianjiao had been caught off guard by such a sudden and dense barrage of hidden weapons, he would certainly have

been unable to escape. But now he was prepared. Almost simultaneously with the sound of the hidden weapons, with a clang, the Dragon

Soul Sword at his waist was drawn. With a move called "Night Battle in All Directions," a dazzling blade of light protected him and the Crimson Dragon Beast beneath him, its movements

impenetrable, sweeping away the incoming hidden weapons.

In fact, the Crimson Dragon Beast didn't need Wu Tianjiao's protection at all. Its hide was exceptionally thick, and its legs

and belly were covered in dense scales, so any hidden weapons wouldn't cause it any harm.

Suddenly, with a deafening roar, a massive iron hammer connected to a flying chain hurtled down from the sky,

hurtling straight at Wu Tianjiao with the force of a thunderbolt…

Roar—Realizing the danger, the Crimson Dragon Beast let out a deafening roar, leaping forward and

carrying Wu Tianjiao to dodge the descending hammer…

Boom! The assassin who had secretly unleashed the hammer hadn't expected the Crimson Dragon Beast to be so fast. His strike missed completely,

landing on the street with a deafening crash, creating a deep crater in the ground. It was truly breathtaking and

extremely dangerous.
