Long Yifei pointed to his head and laughed, "Use your mental power!"

"Mental power?" Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, Yuan Power is controlled by Divine Consciousness, or to put it bluntly, by Mental Power!"

"Therefore, your invisible arrows can also be controlled by mental power!"

Long Yifei added, "Although we are not talisman masters and our mental strength is not that great, we still have enough to control the elemental energy on the arrows!"

Lan Hua drew her bow, preparing to unleash the fourth move of the Invisible Arrow Technique, aimed from all directions.

Long Yifei reminded him, "During the process of condensing the arrow, you must infuse it with spiritual power so that the arrow can establish a connection with you and be under your control!"

Lan Hua nodded, released the bowstring, and fired one arrow, which then multiplied into four.

Under his control, four invisible arrows miraculously curved in mid-air and shot towards four distant targets from four directions.

boom...

Under Lan Hua's control, the four light arrows hit the target in turn.

Long Yifei was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so talented, to have grasped the essence of mental power application so quickly!"

Lan Hua gave an awkward smile.

If Long Yifei knew that he was a second-grade talisman master with mental strength several times stronger than that of ordinary people, he would not have made the remarks he just made.

On the contrary, it will discourage you; you may possess strong mental power but not know how to apply it.

Lan Hua put away her bow and solemnly bowed to Long Yifei.

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander Long. I have benefited greatly from it!"

Long Yifei waved his hand, "I was just giving you a casual pointer, you don't need to take it too seriously!"

Lan Hua asked, "Why did Commander Long suddenly instruct me in the art of archery?"

Long Yifei laughed and said, "At first, I thought you were just another scoundrel introduced by the Third Prince, someone who would just loaf around and wait to die!"

"It wasn't until you fought bravely against the demonic beasts, demonstrated your extraordinary skills, and became a master archer, that my opinion of you changed!"

"As a bow wielder, seeing a junior like you, I can't help but want to offer some guidance!"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Long. I will remember this!"

Long Yifei suddenly asked, "Who taught you your archery skills?"

Lan Hua scratched his head and laughed, "I taught myself this archery technique?"

"Oh?" Long Yifei asked in surprise, "You don't have a master?"

Lan Hua said, "My master certainly has them, but she herself is not a bow cultivator!"

Long Yifei nodded. "In that case, would you be willing to become my disciple? I am willing to pass on all my archery skills to you!"

Lan Hua was surprised, not expecting that Long Yifei valued her so much that he was willing to pass on his mantle.

But since he had already become Zi Yue's disciple, how could he possibly become a disciple of someone else?

That would be disloyal to my beautiful master.

Lan Hua thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and refused.

"I already have a mentor who treats me very well!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Commander Long. Farewell!"

Long Yifei watched Lan Hua leave, nodded, and felt quite impressed with him.

Lan Hua left the Demon Suppression Bureau and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.

He wanted to try his luck and see if he could run into an unlucky monster.

But Lan Hua was still disappointed. She ran for dozens of miles without encountering a single monster.

"Damn it, I only spent a little time learning from the commander, and there wasn't even a trace of a demon beast!"

"Those people from the Demon Suppression Division are too cowardly!"

Just as Lan Hua was wondering what was going on, Guo Kai passed by him, seemingly heading towards the Demon Suppression Division.

Guo Kai was carrying a small, cute monster in his hand.

Strictly speaking, it might not even qualify as a demon beast.

"Commander Guo, could this duck also be used to make up the numbers?"

Guo Kai said in a serious tone, "This is no ordinary duck. This is a demon duck that has just broken through to the Initial Yuan Realm, which meets the Commander's requirements!"

Lan Hua was speechless. If this wasn't just filling a quota, what was it?

Guo Kai laughed and said, "Brother Lanhua, just ignore this area!"

"They've practically turned it upside down by everyone else, but there's not even a trace of a demonic beast left!"

Lan Hua nodded, "I'll go take a look ahead!"

After traveling several dozen more miles, Lanhua was already a hundred miles away from the capital.

"Stop! Don't run!"

A sharp shout stopped Lan Hua, followed by a red whip lashing out.

Lan Hua was startled and used the Heaven-Opening Palm, his palm filled with Yuan Power, to grab the whip in an instant.

"Lanhua, it's you?"

It turned out that the person who wielded the whip was none other than Shen Yuyan.

She had just seen a shadow moving in the distance and thought it was a monster. Overjoyed, she immediately lashed out with her whip.

Lan Hua gave a wry smile, "Commander Shen, how are you?"

Shen Yuyan patted her chest, somewhat shaken, and said, "Luckily, I didn't use my full strength just now, otherwise your hand would have been ruined!"

Lan Hua loosened her grip on the whip and asked, "Commander Shen, how's your harvest?"

Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, looking sullen.

"I've gained absolutely nothing. I usually manage to encounter some monsters, but today I haven't seen a single one. I'm so angry!"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "There's still plenty of time, no rush!"

Shen Yuyan said, "Thank you so much for saving my life that day. I have no way to repay you!"

Lan Hua gave an awkward smile, "Commander Shen, please don't take it to heart. Anyone else would have done the same!"

"Just call me Yu Yan, calling me Commander Shen is too formal!"

"Alright, Miss Yuyan, where are you planning to go next?"

Shen Yuyan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "We'll have to go to Cangsong Ridge, which is 300 miles away from the capital. There are many monsters there, and we should be able to catch a few!"

Lan Hua laughed and said, "Then take me with you, I also need to complete my mission!"

"Alright!"

As soon as the two arrived at the outer edge of Cangsong Ridge, they saw a man just coming out of the ridge, looking quite dashing.

That person was none other than Tan Shuiyue, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, who was holding a demon beast in one hand.

Shen Yuyan greeted Tan Shuiyue, but Tan Shuiyue did not respond. Instead, she walked directly to Lan Hua, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"Lanhua, was Elder Fanghe harmed by you?"

Lan Hua shook her head, "That's his own fault. He forcibly seized the forbidden items from the Pill God Palace, which led to that result!"

Tan Shuiyue said in a deep voice, "It seems that the news from the Immortal Sword Sect is true!"

Lan Hua took a few steps back, wary, and asked, "Commander Tan, what are you trying to do?"

Tan Shuiyue said coldly, "The Immortal Sword Sect has issued an order: any member who sees Lan Hua must be killed without mercy!"

"We've been colleagues for a time, after all. Three days from now, right here at Cangsong Ridge, we'll fight to the death!"

"If you disagree, I will kill you today!"

Lan Hua was speechless, thinking to herself that this woman was so fierce, and although she seemed reasonable, she was actually quite unreasonable.

Unaware of the situation, Shen Yuyan tried to plead for Lan Hua, but was ruthlessly rejected by Tan Shuiyue.

"A duel? I agree!"

"You've got guts! You're a real man!"

Tan Shuiyue dragged two demonic beasts and headed towards the capital.

As Tan Shuiyue walked away, Lan Hua's eyes turned cold.

"Three days later?"

"Hmph, I can't wait any longer!"

Lan Hua drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at Tan Shuiyue from afar.

Tan Shuiyue possesses the cultivation level of the eighth stage of the Yuan Dan realm, making her extremely powerful.

Therefore, Lan Hua immediately used her ultimate move, leaving her no way out.

Shen Yuyan said urgently, "Lanhua, what are you doing? Stop!"

"If I stop, who will collect my body in three days?"
