"Hehe, Qianlan, I never expected that you, who were also an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion back then, would actually be willing to become Elder Yang's servant!"

"However, your strength seems much weaker than it used to be. Could it be that you've really gotten old?"

The old man looked at Granny Qian with a sneer, seemingly unafraid of her terrifying aura.

Granny Qian's face darkened slightly: "Your Tianji Pavilion is truly heartless and treacherous. My wisest choice back then was to leave you!"

"Hmph! Nonsense! If Elder Yang hadn't taken the Heavenly Mystery Disc, my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion wouldn't have fallen to such an embarrassing state today!" The old man snorted coldly, as if he had remembered something unpleasant.

"Since that's the case, there's no need for further explanation! Now that you've found me, I don't intend to hide anymore!" Granny Qian said calmly.

"Hehe, very well then. Today I will capture you and let the Pavilion Master decide your fate. I never expected to receive such an unexpected surprise while I was in Jianghai!" The old man laughed heartily, and then suddenly waved his sleeve.

Swish swish swish!

The next second, seven or eight figures suddenly leaped onto the abandoned orphanage and surrounded Granny Qian. What was terrifying was that they were all holding crossbows!

Moreover, the aura emanating from them ranged from Grandmaster to Fourth-Rank Qi Realm!

Their attire was the same as the old man's, indicating they were disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!

"Heavenly Secrets Guards! You actually managed to mobilize the Heavenly Secrets Guards!" Granny Qian looked at these people with a look of surprise on her face.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is a special team secretly trained by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. They are responsible for maintaining order within the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and only obey the orders of the Pavilion Master!

The Heavenly Guard is divided into the Inner Guard and the Outer Guard. The people in front of us are the Outer Guard, who are exposed to the world. But the Inner Guard is even more terrifying. They are an extremely mysterious existence. Even the elders of the Heavenly Guard are very wary of those guys in the Inner Guard!

Because the Inner Guard has the power of judgment! Anyone in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion who violates the rules of the Pavilion, whether they are an elder or anyone else, will be arrested by the Inner Guard!

Back then, Elder Yang and Granny Qian were being chased by an internal guard team. With her cultivation level, she would probably have perished if Qin Changqing hadn't intervened!

However, these outer guards should not be underestimated. The crossbows they carry are made of special materials and are incredibly powerful, enough to easily penetrate the defenses of a Gang Realm expert!

"Hehe, I came to Jianghai naturally to carry out a mission on behalf of the Pavilion Master. This Heavenly Guard was personally promised by the Pavilion Master. Today, it's just the right time for them to judge you!" The old man laughed heartily, then raised his hand: "Although I wanted to give you a chance, I doubt you would obediently surrender. So, let's take you down first!"

After saying that, he suddenly waved his hand!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

In an instant, seven or eight Heavenly Guards fired crossbows directly at Granny Qian!

A terrifying whooshing sound rang out; the crossbow was incredibly fast, leaving only whistling trails in the air!

Granny Qian's expression changed slightly, and then she suddenly disappeared!

Swish swish swish!

A blur of motion swept across the field, and wherever she passed, arrows would fall, their shafts piercing the ground three inches deep!

"brush!"

Grandma Qian suddenly appeared on the orphanage. Before a Tianji Guard could react, she smashed his head with a single palm strike!

Blood splattered everywhere, the scene was extremely bloody!

The other Heavenly Guards did not hesitate and fired their crossbows at her. The Heavenly Guards she killed were riddled with holes!

Suddenly, a layer of spiritual energy shield condensed in front of Granny Qian, blocking the countless flying arrows!

Granny Qian snorted coldly, and with a wave of her sleeve, she unleashed a terrifying burst of spiritual energy, scattering the flying arrows. At the same time, she clapped her hands several times, sending several Heavenly Guards flying!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. Granny Qian's expression changed, and a sense of impending death spread through her heart!

Wow!

Without hesitation, Granny Qian raised her hand and delivered a slap!

Although she reacted quickly, the defense was too hasty, and Granny Qian was hit hard, her body flying backward.

"Release the arrows!" the old man shouted coldly.

This is where Granny Asahi reveals a weakness! Their chance!

Swish swish swish!

Almost as soon as the old man finished speaking, the well-coordinated Heavenly Guards launched their flying arrows!

Granny Qian's expression immediately turned serious. She could only hastily unleash her spiritual energy to defend herself, but soon, an arrow pierced right through her shoulder!

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and Granny Qian's momentum faltered. Just then, more than a dozen flying arrows came flying in!

Granny Qian hurriedly tried to defend herself, but several arrows were quickly embedded in her body! By then, she had already landed on the ground!

Staggering backward, Granny Qian knelt on one knee, gasping for breath. Besides her shoulder, she had been stabbed in the abdomen and leg, with long arrows embedded in her body, blood gushing out continuously.

"Hmph! Even if you are a fifth-grade expert, you are no match for us!" The old man looked at Granny Qian smugly.

He could defeat Granny Asahi himself, but the opponent's strength is undeniably terrifying. If he's not careful, he might be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat.

Now look what's happened! Granny Qian is like a lamb to the slaughter!

"Shameless!" Granny Qian's face turned ashen as she stared intently at the old man.

She is now quite weak due to excessive blood loss.

"Hehe, capturing criminals from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, no matter what methods are used, as long as the mission is completed, that's enough!" The old man laughed heartily, and then his figure fell directly down.

The Heavenly Guards also jumped down one after another, surrounding Granny Qian in the middle.

But at that moment, a glint of light flashed in Granny Qian's eyes.

The old man noticed this and suddenly a bad premonition surged in his heart. He quickly shouted, "Retreat!"

He was the strongest, and he retreated a great distance in the blink of an eye, but it wasn't so easy for the Heavenly Guards.

Because at that very moment, a terrifying burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Granny Qian's body. Countless flying sand and stones shot out from her body, and the Heavenly Guards who had not yet reacted were instantly riddled with holes!

Thump!

The several Grandmaster-level Heavenly Guards had no chance to resist and had already fallen, beyond dead!

This outburst from Granny Qian worsened her injuries, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood!

"Damn it! You old woman! You're asking for it!" The old man roared, and the next second he appeared in front of Granny Qian, kicking her away!

The latter crashed into the wall and fell, struggling in pain.

The old man walked up to Granny Qian with a blank expression: "Old woman, I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve!"

Grandma Qian weakly opened her eyes and stared at the old man with eyes full of hatred!

"Hahaha! How about that? You want to kill me? Too bad, you can't stand up anymore!" The old man laughed heartily, extremely smug.
