As Mei Shuyu gave the order, the Hidden Guards showed no more hesitation, unleashing their killing moves on Ye Lanying.
Despite her abilities, Ye Lanying was no match for the numbers against her; she quickly took a sword blow to the arm that wielded her own blade. She bit her lip, realizing Mei Shuyu truly intended to kill her; suddenly, she lost the courage to fight desperately and retreated in defeat.
Within moments, she found herself with the Hidden Guards' swords and daggers at her throat, effectively captured.
In the brief instance of her capture, she seized an opportunity and released another signal flare into the sky.
Mei Shuyu immediately bellowed, "Stop that signal flare!"
As his shout ended, a Hidden Guard, quick-eyed and agile, cleaved the signal flare with his sword. It fell to the ground, emitting smoke, and ultimately failed to ascend, truly intercepted.
Ye Lanying turned pale.
