Yu Beipiao is a secret weapon of the Southern Weekly intelligence network. His Yushan broadsword is known as "fiery when in motion, as immovable as a mountain," a powerful weapon that combines offense and defense.

However, people only know that the Yushan broadsword comes from the Yu family's family tradition, but they don't know that the Yushan broadsword can only exert its greater power in the hands of Yu Beipiao.

Because Yu Beipiao found a master and learned the Overlord Body Technique.

It was precisely because of the blessing of the Overlord Body Technique that the defensive power of the Yushan Blade was so terrifying that even Zhao Hu's two broken blades could not cut through it.

If Luo Ying hadn't taken action after his battle, he would have had a real chance to escape Da Jing unscathed back then.

But what intrigued Atao more was not the Overlord Body Technique, but rather the Hundred Caves Master's fighting habits and methods of dealing with her.

It felt like he had me completely figured out, not because he was actually that fast, but because he could always anticipate my attacks!

Having figured this out, Atao stopped fighting Baidong Zhenren head-on and switched from offense to defense, trying to find Baidong Zhenren's moves and weaknesses.

"Yan Jiao, he's using the Overlord Body Technique. Your poison and strength are useless against him. Don't fight him head-on. Use your speed to entangle him!"

The change in strategy did indeed alter the course of the battle.

Now, Master Baidong is chasing after Atao and Deng Yanjiao, but Atao is fast and Deng Yanjiao has amazing jumping ability. She is purely trying to dodge Master Baidong's attacks, so Master Baidong cannot get the upper hand for the time being.

This made Atao increasingly suspicious of the identity of Master Baidong.

I'm going to attack, and you can predict my attack strategy.

But I relied entirely on my speed to dodge you, which put you at a disadvantage.

Remembering what Master Baidong had said about her origins from the Black Mountain Grottoes, Atao couldn't help but think of it.

Could it be that you...

Is he an old friend from the Black Mountain Grottoes?

But with that head of white hair, his age was clearly not right.

Just as he was pondering this, Master Baidong suddenly abandoned his attack and turned to run out of Yuyunzhai.

Yuan Yun shouted, "We can't let him go to the imperial prison!"

Atao was prepared. She simultaneously shot two daggers at Bai Dong Zhenren's back and shouted, "Yan Jiao, strike with all your might!"

Deng Yanjiao suddenly leaped up, her ten fingernails like sharp blades, and fell from the sky towards Master Baidong.

The corner of Master Baidong's mouth, which wasn't covered by the mask, slightly lifted.

His body blurred into a streak, dodging Ah Tao's dagger, and instantly appeared ten steps away, then he raised his hand.

A lotus thorn shot straight up into the sky, heading straight for Deng Yanjiao.

Atao's pupils dilated suddenly, and she exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

Atao realized that this was Baidong Zhenren's scheme. He was fast enough to avoid the Lotus Thorn, but it was hard to say about Deng Yanjiao.

In particular, Deng Yanjiao is currently in the momentum of launching a full-scale attack.

There's no way to avoid it!

Just then, everyone heard a whooshing sound.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew swiftly and struck the lotus thorn squarely.

But Atao knew that the crisis was not over. The lotus thorns that had been hit began to decompose, and a few would still fly towards Deng Yanjiao.

Swish swish swish! ! !

Five arrows came in quick succession, knocking down the disintegrated lotus thorns one by one.

Deng Yanjiao then landed on the ground, panting heavily.

Zhou Nuo stood on the roof of Yuan Yun's room, bowstring drawn taut, facing Master Baidong, and said, "How can I be absent from dealing with the villains who trespassed into Yu Yun Zhai?"

Atao quickly blocked Baidong Zhenren's retreat, saying, "Zhou Nuo, this person knows the Overlord Body Technique, which has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and also the insidious and vicious Lotus Thorn. Be careful!"

Master Baidong glanced at Atao out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Zhou Nuo and said, "This place is truly full of hidden talents. I never thought I would be forced to this point by you women."

Zhou Nuo sneered, "Looking down on women? My arrow will make you regret it."

Master Baidong's gaze fell on Zhou Nuo's bow, his eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "The Spirit-Startling Bow??"

"Scared?"

Zhou Nuo said loudly, "I wonder if your Overlord Body Technique can withstand the power of the Spirit-Startling Bow?"

Atao was overjoyed. The Jingling Bow was incredibly powerful. If it could hit Baidong Zhenren, even if he had the Overlord Body Technique, he would be injured if not killed.

Zhou Nuo was indeed the key to defeating Master Baidong!

"Zhou Nuo, don't fire your arrow rashly. Yan Jiao and I will keep him occupied while you seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!"

"Got it, get him!"

...

Imperial Prison.

Zhao Zhan walked in front, with Miao Donglin and Miao Rusong on either side, and behind them were seven people whose faces and bodies were hidden in cloaks.

With Zhao Zhan around, it was easy for them to enter the imperial prison; they were allowed to pass through without any trouble.

The Imperial Prison was a place where no one could leave once they entered, and it was notorious compared to the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review. In such a place, the guards would become much more relaxed at night.

The jailer and a few officials were either drinking or sleeping. Dong Xiao, the Imperial Censor in charge of the imperial prison, was naturally not there at this time.

The jailer, who was drinking, noticed Zhao Zhan's nervousness and immediately stood up straight, saying, "Minister Zhao, I..."

"Hey, there's no need to be so nervous."

Zhao Zhan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You all work so hard on weekdays, it's only natural to have a little drink to relax at this hour."

"yes!"

The jailer asked in a fawning manner, "What brings you here, Your Excellency?"

Zhao Zhan said, "There are some things I need to ask Lord Chen about."

The jailer immediately led the way, saying, "He's at the very back."

“I know the way, you can continue.” With that, Zhao Zhan gave Miao Rusong a wink.

Miao Rusong leaned close to the jailer's ear and said, "You probably don't want to know what the Grand Secretary and Lord Chen were talking about, do you?"
