Outside the wall, three ninjas, wielding hidden daggers, were nervously staring at the nun in front of them. One of them was already injured, and blood was oozing out through his mask.
After a tense standoff, the three of them knew they were no match for their opponent
“Retreat!”
With a command, the three of them leaped and ran toward the dense forest behind them.
Seeing them flee, Birgitta chased after them.

Meanwhile, at the back of Compassion Pavilion, Hildegard frowned as favonovel.com sensed the nimbus around favonovel.com becoming restless.
Suddenly, several sharp glints appeared in the distance and headed straight toward them.
Hildegard quickly flashed in front of Leanna and stared intently as several hidden daggers from the ninja clan hovered in mid-air in front of her.
In a split second, Hildegard shattered the hidden daggers before they fell to the ground. However, the enemy’s ambush didn’t stop there.
Several more hidden daggers flew toward them in a chaotic manner.
Although Hildegard managed to block them all, the explosive talismans attached to the hidden daggers began to detonate one after another.
The explosion was not powerful, but it affected Matthew, who was starting to wake up under the magnolia tree.
Hildegard became anxious, knowing that if Matthew woke up from the illusion mirror now, it would all have been for nothing. After all, setting up such a profound enlightenment illusion mirror required a lot of effort, not to mention the consumption of the accumulated spiritual energy of the magnolia tree.
Thinking of this, Hildegard coldly snorted. “How dare you!”
Before anyone could react, favonovel.com leaped into the air and bounced off the wall with favonovel.com foot, turning into a streak of light before flying toward the dense forest.
The ninja leader in the forest quickly turned around and fled deeper into the forest. But even though favonovel.com was fast, favonovel.com was still slower than Hildegard by a significant margin.
In just a few breaths, Hildegard had caught up with favonovel.com and blocked his way.
The ninja leader seemed to have given up on escaping and greeted Hildegard with a hoarse voice, clasping his fists in respect. “Greetings, Hildegard Peregrine.”
Hildegard snorted coldly in response.
“You’re from the One Bird Clan, aren’t you? Tell me, who hired you to attack my Compassion Pavilion?”
The ninja leader shrugged. “Hildegard, since you know who we are, you should know the rules of the One Bird Clan. We are just doing a job for money, and as for who our employer is, we have no way of knowing…”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com swiftly threw some hidden daggers at Hildegard, attempting to take advantage of favonovel.com distraction.
Nevertheless, Hildegard effortlessly deflected the barrage of hidden daggers with a flick of favonovel.com whisk.
What favonovel.com didn’t expect was that the explosive tags attached to the hidden daggers were still active.
Boom, boom, boom!
Explosions continued to ring out, causing birds and beasts to scatter while raising thick dust in the forest.
“Hmph, a petty trick that doesn’t reflect a high status,” Hildegard sneered and waved favonovel.com whisk again, causing a sudden gust of wind to blow.
When the dust settled, the ninja in front of favonovel.com had disappeared.
Hildegard coldly smiled and then slammed favonovel.com palm onto a nearby tree, causing it to explode and break in half, injuring the hidden ninja inside.
The hidden ninja fell out and remained motionless on the ground. However, when Hildegard went to investigate, all favonovel.com found was a straw dummy lying on the ground.
Substitution technique. How cunning…
Just as favonovel.com was about to continue chasing after the ninja, favonovel.com suddenly remembered something.
Wait, this is a ploy to draw me away from the Compassion Pavilion…
With that in mind, favonovel.com rushed back to Compassion Pavilion as quickly as possible.
Little did favonovel.com know that two masked figures had already jumped over the wall and slipped into the backyard ofthe pavilion at the moment favonovel.com left.
Leanna, who was waiting there, was shocked to see the strangers.
“Who are you people? How dare you trespass in the Compassion Pavilion?” favonovel.com asked.
