"What embarrassing thing happened to me? Tell me about it. I was just careless about the Stairway to Heaven incident."

"Sister Yan reached the top so easily before, so I originally thought the first step wouldn't be too intimidating."

Lin Muze craned his neck and tried to explain, attempting to salvage what little face he had left.

"The more you explain, the worse it gets," Yu Qiqi chuckled to herself.

With Luo Wanyin and the others arriving, it was time to head towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Ling Haoyang also prepared the Yunli Empire's troops stationed at Huanyan Pavilion, leaving a portion to guard the pavilion.

Tinghe and Yingxue stayed in the pavilion to be able to respond promptly in case of any unexpected situations.

The rest of the people went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts with Ruan Xiyan.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is nestled between two mountain ranges with sheer cliffs, and disciples patrol the roads leading out of the valley from time to time.

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang out, the blade piercing flesh and blood, splattering blood everywhere.

"Enemy attack!" a disciple from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Xiyan ended his life with a single strike.

"Kill," Ruan Xiyan commanded casually.

The Phantom Guards and soldiers behind him charged forward together.

They crushed the people of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts with overwhelming superiority, forcing them to retreat step by step.

Although the soldiers of the Yunli Empire's army were not as strong as the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, they had the advantage in numbers.

The combined number of disciples from the three top powers doesn't even equal the population of an entire empire.

In addition, there are Phantom Guards who mainly use thrust attacks to assist them.

The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts suffered repeated defeats, retreating again and again until they finally retreated into the inner valley.

The inner valley is surrounded by mountains and has a warm, spring-like climate, making it an extremely nice place.

But the killing that is happening here now has shattered the peaceful atmosphere around us.

"Roar roar roar!"

Countless roars of monsters suddenly erupted from the inner valley, followed by ground tremors as one monster after another joined the battle.

There are creatures that run on the ground, fly in the sky, and crawl on the ground...

The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts truly lives up to its reputation as a force for taming beasts, as it was able to summon so many magical beasts at once.

These magical beasts alone could easily wipe out some of the smaller factions on the continent.

Ling Haoyang and the others summoned their contracted beasts.

Ruan Xiyan released Biqiong and Xuanguang from her spatial storage.

"It's up to you now."

"Don't worry, Master," Biqiong replied excitedly.

"Xuan Guang, this is your first battle, so you must perform well in front of your master."

"You don't need to tell me," Xuan Guang said irritably.

Its body suddenly became enormous, and with a single stomp, it could randomly stun or kill several magical beasts.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous in my Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts!" A sharp, angry shout rang out in the air.

Yin Changdu and Song Huiyang, whom they had met before, appeared.

Song Huiyang glanced around and whispered something in Yin Changdu's ear.

“People from the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion,” Yin Changdu said. “I didn’t go looking for you, but you still came to my door.”

He looked at Ruan Xiyan standing there and said, "The Pavilion Master of Huanyan Pavilion has quite the presence."

"Illusionary Beauty Pavilion has only been established on the continent for a few years, yet it wants to challenge my Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts. Is it because it has the Yunli Empire backing it up?"

Yin Changdu gave a sneer, "The mighty Yunli Empire actually has the leisure to meddle in these petty squabbles."

Ling Haoyang calmly replied, "If it concerns my sister, then it's no small matter. Doesn't the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts want to fight? My Yunli Empire will fight to the end."

"Big brother, why are you wasting your breath talking to this old geezer? Does he think our Yunli Empire has no one left to rely on?!"

"To think you can use an army to wipe out my Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is wishful thinking. My Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has stood on the continent for many years. How could I be afraid of an empire?"

"Since you've come to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts today, leave your lives behind, so that I, the Valley Master, won't have to bother attacking you again."

After Yin Changdu finished speaking, he waved his hand gently.

A group of armored men, completely encased in iron armor, emerged, each wearing an iron mask.

From the outside, apart from height and weight, they are all exactly the same.

"Let's test it out on you first. This is the latest killing weapon that my Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has developed."

As Yin Changdu finished speaking, the armored men instantly rushed into the crowd and began their slaughter.

They are incredibly fast, faster than humans.

Agile and ruthless, every strike draws blood.

Ling Jingyan looked at the armored man rushing towards him and swung his longsword.

The armored man did not dodge, and a bloody gash appeared on his body.

The armored man remained unmoved, continuing to unleash his iron fists.

Ling Jingyan was startled, and Ling Zhiheng next to him kicked the armored man several meters away with all his might.

"What is this thing? Doesn't it feel pain at all?!"

Lin Muze, who was fighting the armored man, chimed in, "That's true! Things that don't feel pain, are these even human?"

Ruan Xiyan narrowed her eyes; the aura emanating from these armored men was indeed strange.

"Why do I feel like the movements of these armored assassins are somewhat familiar?" Xunmei murmured.

Hanxiang nodded, "I feel the same way. I always feel that their movement techniques are very similar to those of our Huanyan Pavilion."

As she spoke, she slashed at the iron mask on the armored man's face, trying to find out what it was.

The iron mask was split in two and fell to the ground. When Hanxiang saw the face under the mask, her pupils contracted sharply, and she exclaimed, "Songnan."

He was once her closest and most capable bodyguard.

In the battle when the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion was ambushed by the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, she lost an arm but was fortunate enough to survive.
