Chapter 5100: 5.0852 Impossible

The problem lies with the person who brought them in!

"In the past two days, not many people have been summoned into the palace by His Majesty and the Empress. A thorough investigation will surely reveal who is causing trouble," Pearl said in a cold voice.

"Since they've come, they might as well stay in the palace forever." Pearl raised her hand, and the rustling of garments echoed through the night sky.

A dozen or so swift and fierce dark guards joined the fray, charging directly at the assassins without a word.

In just a few exchanges, they broke up the tightly knit group of assassins.

The dark guards, working together in well-trained coordination, spread out in groups of three to five, separating the assassins one by one.

The many assassins surrounding Qiao Mu were immediately dispersed.

When they tried to regroup, they were already separated into small factions, unable to gather in one place again.

Qiao Mu's "Startling Thunder" sword glowed with lightning as she swung it at the assassin opposite her.

At the same time, the assassin leaned back slightly, twisting his body with a crouch, and flicked out a spirit energy bead, suddenly throwing it at Qiao Mu.

Pearl's heart nearly leaped out of her chest at the sight.

The Empress had entrusted the Crown Princess to her for safe escort back, and now the little Crown Princess was about to get hurt right before her eyes?

She couldn't believe that such a simple small task given to her by the Empress, she couldn't even complete!

Amidst her frustration, Pearl was also filled with grief and indignation.

She watched helplessly as the spirit energy bead was thrown at the little Crown Princess from such close range.

She was too far away to even try to stop it.

However, the anticipated explosion didn't happen.

In fact... when that spirit energy bead was thrown, it didn't even make a ripple.

Everyone was somewhat stunned.

Especially Pearl, who hurriedly shifted her gaze, looking at Qiao Mu and the black-clad assassin with a bewildered expression.

She saw the little Crown Princess staring expressionlessly at the equally astonished assassin opposite her, and crisply called out, "Idiot! Do you know why your spirit energy bead didn't explode in front of me?"

The assassin shook his head comically, then immediately realized that his reaction might have looked a bit foolish...

He could have coolly ignored the little Crown Princess's question and let her perform her monologue.

But he instinctively wanted to answer her.

"Because you're stupid!" the little Crown Princess exclaimed, then raised her hand.

Everyone saw four or five equally round objects fly towards the black-clad assassin opposite her.

He didn't even have time to cry out before he was engulfed in the explosive waves from the detonating spirit energy beads.

The unlucky assassin was flung out by a wave of air, falling heavily to the ground, taking a long time to recover.

Qiao Mu's "Startling Thunder" sword transformed into a thousand illusions, piercing straight into the assassin's body.

A faint, cold gleam shone in her bright eyes.

After dispatching the black-clad assassin, Qiao Mu deliberately glanced behind her, then suddenly turned and flew onto the eaves of the roof.

This action instantly startled Pearl and the others.

Pearl couldn't help but blurt out, "Master, come down!"

Qiao Mu, however, ignored her, merely glancing down at her and nodding faintly as if to reassure her.

Turning around, Qiao Mu leaped without warning, swiftly soaring onto a section of roof behind her.

"Get her alive," a black-clad assassin yelled, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
