Kapitel 1

Chapter One: Hijacking the Carriage

As dawn broke and dusk gently lingered along the mountain path, a magnificent carriage sped along the way towards the capital.

The carriage was engraved with a gleaming golden character "Chen". There were quite a few families with the surname Chen in the capital, but only the Prime Minister's residence had this mark on its carriage.

"Is that Shen Qianmo, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Shen, inside the carriage?"

A dozen men in black surrounded the carriage. The coachman was so frightened that he rolled to the ground, his face pale as he stared at the group of men in black who exuded a strong murderous aura.

"You insolent wretch! How dare you call my young lady by her name?" The carriage curtain was gently lifted, and a pretty maidservant glared angrily at the man in black before her, without a trace of fear in her eyes.

"We need Miss Shen's help with something." The leader of the men in black frowned slightly, clearly displeased with the maid's rudeness, but he suppressed his anger and spoke to the people inside the carriage.

"What favors do you want me to do?" Inside the carriage, Shen Qianmo raised an eyebrow slightly, her voice as light and melodious as a nightingale's song, tinged with a hint of languor.

A simple sentence, seemingly gentle and harmless, automatically changes the other person's status from asking for help to begging for help.

"Our master hopes that Miss can marry the Eighth Prince, Shangguan Jin." The displeasure in the eyes of the leading man in black intensified, and Shen Qianmo could feel his murderous intent even through the carriage.

"Why should I help?" His tone remained languid, even carrying an air of arrogant superiority.

Shen Qianmo's dark, bright eyes were veiled with a faint mist, carrying a hint of cunning and disdain.

She wants her to marry Shangguan Jin? Dream on! She, Shen Qianmo, is no longer the woman who can be manipulated by others.

Before her rebirth, she was arranged by her father to marry Shangguan Che. At that time, she was naive and easily deceived by Shangguan Che's tenderness, wholeheartedly helping him ascend the throne, only to be cruelly poisoned by him in the end. After being reborn, how could she possibly be willing to be a pawn again?!

But what is the purpose of making her marry Shangguan Jin?

Crown Prince Shangguan Ye was born to the deceased Empress. The Emperor still cherished the memory of the late Empress, and despite the Crown Prince's incompetence, he still protected him in every way.

But how could such an incompetent and foolish crown prince win over the people? Several princes already had their eyes on the throne. The Third Prince, Shangguan Che, and the Eighth Prince, Shangguan Jin, were the two strongest contenders.

Shangguan Che is the son of the current Empress Yao Xuekong. The Empress's brother is a Grand General, so Shangguan Che's power is considerable. Even if the Emperor wants to protect the Crown Prince, he may not be able to do so.

Although Shangguan Jin did not have a distinguished background, he was shrewd and brave in battle, held military power, and was highly valued by the emperor.

If she were to marry Shangguan Jin, it would naturally be a great help to the Eighth Prince's faction. However, she didn't believe that Shangguan Jin, who was always extremely shrewd, would make such a foolish threat.

"Insolence! Do you know who my master is?" The leader of the men in black was clearly enraged by Shen Qianmo's lazy and arrogant attitude. He cleaved open the carriage with his sword and said coldly.

"I don't care who your master is!" Shen Qianmo raised her eyes to look at the man in black, her eyes darkening, showing that she was angry.

The leader of the men in black was startled by Shen Qianmo's sharp gaze. It was an unprecedented sense of oppression, making it hard for him to breathe. Apart from his master, no one else could make him feel such pressure.

The woman before him was dressed in white, her robes fluttering in the wind, her jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall. She stood against the wind, exuding a noble and otherworldly aura, seemingly possessing an aura of dominance that looked down upon the world.

It's a pity that she only has an ordinary face. Rumor has it that Shen Qianmo's mother was the most beautiful woman in the capital, so how come she gave birth to such an ordinary-looking daughter?

"If Miss doesn't cooperate, then we'll have to offend you." The leader of the men in black came to his senses, his eyes filled with even more murderous intent. He glanced at the men in black around him, and they immediately understood and surrounded Shen Qianmo and the maid.

"Offend? I'm afraid you can't afford to offend me!" A cold smile curled at the corner of Shen Qianmo's lips. Her dark eyes still held a harmless gaze, but the coldness deep within them made people afraid to look directly at her.

Seeing that the men in black dared to surround her, the young maidservant acted swiftly, engaging in a fierce battle with more than a dozen men in black, managing to fight ten against one without being at a disadvantage.

The leader of the men in black frowned upon seeing this scene. He hadn't expected the maidservant beside Shen Qianmo to be so skilled. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and attacked the maidservant. He would deal with the maidservant first, then deal with Shen Qianmo.

Shen Qianmo's previously leisurely, amused expression turned serious the moment she saw the leader of the men in black make his move. That was the kung fu of the Blood Demon Pavilion.

The Bloodthirsty Pavilion is the most powerful assassin organization in the martial arts world. Rumor has it that for the right price, there's no one the Bloodthirsty Pavilion can't kill. Even the emperor is no exception. Therefore, even the royal families of the Three Kingdoms held the Bloodthirsty Pavilion in some fear.

"Qianqian, be careful." Just as the sword of the leader of the men in black was about to touch the maid's body, Shen Qianmo's eyes changed and he pulled the maid back.

No one saw how Shen Qianmo made her move. Apart from the leader of the men in black, all the others were already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The leader of the men in black looked at the woman before him with some fear. Despite her frail body and ordinary appearance, she possessed an aura that commanded respect.

"Don't be surprised, I didn't kill you. It's because..." Shen Qianmo smiled bloodthirstyly, looking at the man in black, a ruthless glint in her eyes, and slowly said, "I want you to suffer a fate worse than death." Hmph! How dare he lay a hand on Qianqian, this is absolutely unforgivable.

A red shadow flashed by, so fast that no one could react in time, and the man in black had already disappeared.

"Miss, should we give chase?" Qianqian knew that someone had rescued the man in black, but he was too fast to see clearly.

"No need." Shen Qianmo stopped Qianqian. The newcomer was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she had already exchanged a move with the newcomer. The newcomer's skill was probably even superior to hers.

Could it be the Lord of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion? Besides him, probably no one else could withstand that attack I just made. This power struggle in Qi Yue Kingdom has actually attracted the attention of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. This drama is getting more and more interesting.

"Miss, Miss." The coachman finally got up from the ground, looking at Shen Qianmo as if he had seen a ghost.

Although he hadn't seen clearly how Shen Qianmo killed those people, he knew that the young lady before him was definitely not a simple person. He had also followed the Second Madam's orders and had been very disrespectful to the young lady along the way; what was he to do now?

"I know you were acting under Second Madam's orders." Shen Qianmo looked at the coachman's frightened yet obsequious expression, a gentle smile on her lips. Just as the coachman breathed a sigh of relief, the ribbon from Shen Qianmo's sleeve mercilessly sliced across his neck, and he slowly collapsed.

“I could have spared your life. But now, you’ve seen what you shouldn’t have, so you’re doomed.” Shen Qianmo’s lips curled into a lazy smile. “Qianqian, let’s go.”

"Master, why didn't you capture her?" The man in black asked, puzzled, as he watched Shen Qianmo and Qianqian leave.

"She just used the Demon Palace's supreme technique, Three Thousand Green Silks." The man who spoke was the red-clad man who had just saved the man in black, who was also the master the man in black had mentioned, the Master of the Enchanting Blood Pavilion, Enchanting Blood.

The man in black, upon hearing that it was related to the Demon Palace, said no more. The Demon Palace was the most mysterious organization in the martial arts world, and the only one that could rival the Bloodthirsty Demon Pavilion. Rumor had it that anyone who offended the Demon Palace would suffer a fate worse than death.

Mei Xue gazed in the direction Shen Qianmo had left, a wicked smile curving his thin lips. His fiery red robes accentuated his alluring and domineering aura. His sharply defined features resembled the finest work of art, and a hint of amusement flickered in his narrow eyes.

A person from the Demon Palace, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. Isn't that interesting?
