Deep within the secluded valley, Su Yunying, draped in a fur coat, stood against the wind in the center of a shimmering magic array, quietly waiting for the one who would fall into her trap.

Ji Bingyan, standing to the side, reminded her, "Mistress, the Innate Yin-Yang Formation has been set up. Once the formation is activated, the balance of power will shift, and your cultivation will rise to the early stage of the Manifestation Realm."

Meanwhile, the opposing Quasi-Emperor's cultivation will also drop to the same level, but only for one hour. After one hour, if they do not exit the array's core in time...

"Madam, you will be harmed by the backlash of the Imperial Qi placed within the formation. Therefore, Madam must end the battle within one hour. Regardless of success or failure, you must exit the formation's core."

Although Shen Zhao and Su Yunying have not yet formally married, Ji Bingyan has already treated her as his mistress since they have consummated their marriage.

Moreover, compared to Yu Xiyan's aloof demeanor, she preferred Su Yunying, who was understanding and easy to get along with, to be her mistress.

In fact, Ji Bingyan also had a little scheme in mind: to get along well with Su Yunying so that she might be able to accompany Shen Zhao as a concubine.

In her opinion, the master was too powerful, and she was afraid that the mistress's delicate body could not withstand it. If necessary, she could share the pain with the mistress.

What noble integrity and virtue! He only thought of his mistress; she was almost moved to tears by his own spirit.

Marrying Shen Zhao was a wish she had suppressed throughout her previous life, but she had never mentioned it to anyone.

With a man as charming as Shen Zhao, what woman wouldn't love him besides Yu Xiyan?

Unfortunately, Shen Zhao had always treated him only as a colleague, and there was absolutely no room for them to get any closer.

It seems that apart from Yu Xiyan, no woman can arouse his interest.

If her wish comes true in this life, Ji Bingyan will definitely be moved to tears.

She hoped that after Su Yunying and Shen Zhao officially got married, she could help her realize this long-cherished wish.

Su Yunying nodded upon hearing this: "Bingyan, thank you. An hour is enough."

Su Yunying never treated Ji Bingyan as a subordinate, but rather as her own younger sister.

The repeated calls of "Mistress" filled Su Yunying with immense joy, signifying that her relationship with Shen Zhao had been accepted by them, which made her happier than anything else.

Recalling every moment spent with Shen Zhao, Su Yunying felt that her bold choice to approach Shen Zhao back then was the right one.

As I pondered, a new commotion finally arose within the deep valley.

Su Yunying instantly cleared her mind of everything and transformed into a lone goose, entering a state of combat readiness.

In the distance, Dugu Xin and his two companions led Zhang Lie slowly into a pre-arranged trap.

"Mistress, I'll leave this to you. I'll go and prepare the defenses for you."

"Okay, be careful."

Ji Bingyan decisively retreated, leaving Su Yunying alone to face the impending fierce battle.

On the other side, after exchanging glances with Hu Guangshan and Zhang Danfeng, Dugu Xin said to Zhang Lie, "Brother Zhang, the thugs' lair is just ahead. The waters here are too deep, so we three nobodies won't hold you back."

After saying that, before Zhang Lie could react, they all turned into light and disappeared.

Zhang Lie was caught off guard by this scene. He only knew that Liang Hao was among them, so he gripped his Emperor-grade longsword tightly and rushed directly towards the center of the formation.

"Kid, I told you, you can't escape. Now get over here and face your death!"

But when he got a step closer to the array's core, he was stunned to find that the person standing in front of him was a beautiful young girl.

"Who are you? Where's that kid? Tell him to come out!"

Su Yunying brandished her spear.

"Come here and I'll tell you."

Okay~

He was a simple-minded creature who, relying on his quasi-emperor strength, didn't take the girl in front of him seriously at all and stepped directly into the eye of the Innate Yin-Yang Array.

The moment they entered the formation, the formation was immediately activated.

Zhang Lie felt his cultivation level plummeting at a visible rate.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap! This is the Primordial Yin-Yang Formation!"

However, by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Su Yunying's forehead shimmered with spiritual energy, and her cultivation level instantly surged exponentially.

"Is this the power of the Manifestation Realm? It's so powerful. I feel that the spiritual energy in my body is more abundant than ever before."

Su Yunying was deeply moved; this was a powerful demeanor she had never experienced before.

She took a half step forward, with Gu Yan behind her back, and gestured with her left hand: "Su Yunying, please give me your guidance."

After saying that, he took off his fur coat and let the cold wind blow it away.

"Damn it, you're all in cahoots! I'm going to kill you!"

Feeling utterly humiliated, Zhang Lie finally snapped. He swung his sword, gathering his inner energy, and unleashed a dazzling blade aura straight at Su Yunying's face.

However, with the support of the formation, Su Yunying's five senses were clearer than ever before, and she accurately predicted Zhang Lie's move the moment he drew his sword.

She shifted her foot half a step, and the blade's energy grazed Su Yunying's body just three inches away without causing any serious injury.

Please advise.

The next moment, the lone goose waved its wings, graceful as a startled swan and a swimming dragon, directly attacking Zhang Lie's every flaw.

Poor Zhang Lie's cultivation was suppressed. At the same level, facing a cheater who possessed the Lone Goose Spear, the Luoshen Sword, the Chaos God-Demon Body, the Xuanhuang Bloodline, and the Phoenix Marrow Pill, he only managed to block one move before being unilaterally and brutally defeated.

At this moment, the three old men stood on the high place, staring in disbelief at this scene.

"Wow, is Miss Su really that brave? Even if they are at the same level, they should be evenly matched, but right now she's completely dominating that guy."

"And did you notice that Miss Su looked relaxed and didn't use her full strength at all? Wow, is she that amazing?"

"Alas, it's a pity we aren't women, otherwise we too could have received Elder Shen's mercy and been granted such heaven-defying fortune."
