Just as the assassin was about to strike a second sword, the riders from the Investigation Factory arrived to stop him. After a skirmish, the number of casualties among the men in black continued to rise. The leading man's brows revealed a certain sternness; he had already been wounded twice. To prevent more of his companions from dying, he ordered, "We retreat."
The few remaining men in black listened to his command and scattered like birds, using Qinggong to flee.
At this moment, Shen Chen arrived, his aloof gaze locking onto the leading man as he gave chase. Since it was nighttime, once they exited the Imperial Palace, the man in black raced away and disappeared from sight after hiding in a grove.
Shen Chen then ordered the Investigation Factory personnel to conduct a thorough search and investigation.
