Chapter 257 – Exposing the Criminal (12)

Liu Yue clenched her fists, “So it was them….. Good…. Good…..”
Chen Fei who jumped over to catch the box had not reached it yet.
At that moment, mysterious people dressed in white appeared one after another.
Their movements were at least two times faster than Chen Fei’s.
As the crowned prince, Chen Fei’s martial arts abilities were somewhat limited. From the time when he jumped out until now, he’s only made it halfway to the box.
Seeing that one of the white clothed men were coming at him with a sword, Chen Fei’s face paled and immediately retreated.
The man pursued quickly and his sword had already reached Chen Fei’s chest.
Chen Fei’s complexions could not get any worse when he felt the strong force of the sword. He quickly dodged to the side and narrowly escaped the killing blow.
Staggering, Chen Fei threw himself at Liu Yue. Without even catching his breath he yelled, “Liu Yue! The jade box!”
Hearing his voice, Liu Yue immediately flew out. She does a flip in mid air and kicked the jade box.
The trajectory of the jade box changed and it flew towards the bunch of wealthy merchants.
Yun Zhao who was idling saw the scene and moved towards the box. However he tripped and fell with his hands out, but the box miraculously landed on his hands.
The masked men continued to attack Fei Cheng Lie. Although Fei Cheng Lie knew martial arts, his skills were only average. The two other hall masters came over and protected him.
At this time, he saw that the jade box was amongst the merchants. His face ashen because he thought that there was a hidden expert among the merchants.
He didn’t want to take any risks so he immediately turned around and went towards the box.
At that time, Liu Yue had already done a backflip in the air and returned to her original position.
Her complexion turned cold and and it looked as if her hands were trying to reach for Fei Cheng Lie’s neck.
