Yu Lianhuan looked around and knew that she had been tricked by Nalan Yunzhi, but her inner pride did not allow her to bow her head.

"Haha..." Yu Lianhuan chuckled slightly, his tone full of disdain: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Nalan Yunzhi, you tyrant. You are just relying on your better family background. In terms of martial arts and strategy, how can you compare to me?"

Murong Jinghe, the commander of the inner court guards, glared angrily and shouted, "You bold lunatics! You've already been trapped in a jar. How dare you disrespect the emperor? You're simply courting death!"

Her voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the Qiongyu Palace. Murong Jinghe gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, preparing to lead the palace guards to capture Yu Lianhuan. However, Nalan Yunzhi raised his hand to stop her.

Nalan Yunzhi's face was as gloomy as water. Her eyes and voice were extremely cold, without a trace of warmth: "Murong Jinghe, you all should step aside first. Let me meet her in person!"

Before she finished speaking, Nalan Yunzhi used her Qinggong skills to leap up like a flying swallow, her figure as fast as lightning, and flew towards Yu Lianhuan. Her Qinggong skills were so outstanding that she seemed to be above the wind, which was amazing.

Yu Lianhuan's eyes suddenly turned cold when she saw Nalan Yunzhi approaching. She quickly and gently put Ouyang Yuming down and had him sit on the threshold. Ouyang Yuming's eyes were extremely complicated, revealing worry, fear, and helplessness, but he finally looked at Yu Lianhuan firmly.

"Mingming, wait for me." Yu Lianhuan first looked at Ouyang Yuming gently, and then, in front of Nalan Yunzhi, he put his arms around Ouyang Yuming's neck provocatively and kissed him heavily on the lips.

Nalan Yunzhi's expression instantly darkened. She immediately gathered her true energy into her palm, which seemed to contain endless power. Then, she struck out at the Jade Chain through the air, her true energy surging out like a torrent, carrying a fierce momentum.

Yu Lianhuan also mobilized his true qi to counterattack. In an instant, the two of them exchanged blows like a whirlwind, with fists and palms intertwined and it was difficult to tell who was the winner. For a moment, the courtyard of Qiongyu Palace was filled with a strong wind, and the shadows of palms and fists intertwined, making it dazzling and overwhelming.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, as if time had stood still. The Qiongyu Palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone held their breath, watching this thrilling duel.
