"Manager Zhou, you escort Mu Nan to the Zong family first and report this matter to the head of the family, Master Qu, and Master Fang. Please take good care of Zirong and Miss Yu." Mu Hanyan knew that there was no time to lose, so she instructed Zhou Taian and Qu Shanling.
"You're not going back?" Mu Nan looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
"Let's go to the Valley of Broken Souls." Mu Hanyan said firmly.
According to Yu Wanqing, the mysterious and powerful head of the Guiyu clan will wake up within a few days. Considering the days that Mu Nan and Yu Qingwan were on the run, maybe that person has already woken up. She even worried that Yun Bo might have met with an accident.
The sooner she got there, the more chances she had of saving people. With Ye Lanxuan around, even if Yun Bo couldn't be rescued, she could at least buy some time. At the very least, there was a chance for her to escape, so she didn't want to waste any more time traveling back and forth to the capital.
Just like the old butler by Zhao Yuanji's side in the past, Yun Bo held a special position in the Mu family. He held special significance for both Mu Beichen and the Mu family, so she had to do her utmost to rescue Yun Bo. Moreover, Yun Bo had saved Mu Nan and Yu Qingwan's lives.
"Then... you guys should be more careful. If the situation is not good, leave immediately and don't force it." Mu Nan was able to run the small Nanmu Auction House into the current Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. He is also a decisive person. He did not stop Mu Hanyan. After weighing the pros and cons, he said to Mu Hanyan solemnly.
"Sir, I'm going too," Zirong said as she stood up. Yun Bo and Mu Sha were both trapped because of Yu Qingwan. As Yu Qingwan's fiancé, how could he stay out of it?
However, he stumbled as soon as he stood up. Obviously, he was seriously injured in the process of saving Yu Qingwan.
"You stay." Mu Hanyan didn't say much to him. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house. Ye Lanxun, Hua Yue, Jiang Yuzhe and others followed behind her.
Zirong did not argue. He also knew that in his current state, following Mu Hanyan would only make things worse. However, all of this was caused by Yu Qingwan. Others were desperately trying to save people, but he, as Yu Qingwan's fiancé, could not help at all. This made him feel ashamed and guilty.
Seeing Zirong's clenched fists and the shame and guilt on his face, Yu Qingwan gently held his hand and looked at him tenderly.
Zirong forced a smile, but her expression was even more painful.
Yu Qingwan stared at him, her eyes revealing determination as if she had made some important decision.
"By the way, Mr. Sun, we have important matters to attend to. Please take these medical fees first. We will reward you handsomely when we come back." Before leaving, Mu Hanyan took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed it to Doctor Sun.
She didn't deliberately remind him to keep the previous matter secret. After all, he was a famous doctor in Beijing who had been famous for many years, and his family had inherited the medical tradition. He was not a greenhorn who had just started out. She believed that he knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Mr. Mu is too reserved. My Sun family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I have studied medicine for over seventy years. However, I have never seen or heard of a genius like Mr. Mu. Mr. Ye is so young, yet he has achieved such accomplishments. This is something I admire immensely.
"It's fate that we can meet today. I also have something to ask you, Master Mu. Let's not talk about the consultation fee anymore. Let's just consider it a friendship." Doctor Sun said politely without extending his hand.
"Okay then. When I come back I will definitely make a special trip to visit Mr. Sun." Mu Hanyan knew that what he wanted to ask about must be the meridian-splitting and pulse-cutting technique she had just used.
The basis of this technique is actually the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword. Although the ancestors of the Sun family comprehended the Meridian Separation and Vein Cutting Technique with the help of this sword technique, sword techniques and medical techniques are ultimately two different things. Even if thousands of ways lead to the same destination, there are inevitably some difficult parts. It is very likely that Doctor Sun's understanding of the various variations of this technique is not as good as his own.
Time was running out, and Mu Hanyan had no time to be polite with him. She just bowed and quickly left Fangjia Village with Ye Lanxun, Hua Yue, and Jiang Yuzhe.
…
There was a drizzle and dark clouds, and the whole sky and earth were gloomy, making people feel depressed.
At this time, Mu Hanyan was standing on a steep cliff, looking at the quiet valley below.
This is the Valley of Broken Souls. Relying on Ye Lanxuan's wind-controlling skills, they reached their destination in just six or seven hours.
The entire valley was surrounded by cliffs. These cliffs were thousands of feet high, as if cut by a knife or an axe. Not only ordinary humans, but even birds could hardly stand on them. Even a master swordsman like Mu Hanyan would be in great danger of death if he accidentally fell down.
No wonder it is called the Soul-Breaking Valley, the terrain of this valley is really too dangerous.
The valley was extremely quiet, with lush vegetation and thick mist. Standing on the top of the cliff, it was impossible to see the situation inside the valley.
Fortunately, Mu Hanyan did not rush back to the capital, but first tried her best to wake up Yu Qingwan. Otherwise, even if she met her grandfather, who would have thought that the Gui Yu clan was hiding in such a valley.
"Could it be that Uncle Yun has met with an accident?" Unable to see the situation in the Valley of Broken Souls clearly and without hearing any sound of fighting, everyone's hearts sank slightly, Jiang Yuzhe said worriedly.
Mu Hanyan and the others didn't say anything, but they all had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
At this moment, a clear whistle echoed from the valley. Then, a sword beam pierced through the steaming mist, as if it was about to pierce the sky.
"Tianxin Sword Qi!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed in surprise after just one look.
The force that condensed this sword light was clearly the Mu family's secret Heavenly Heart Sword Qi, a majestic sword energy possessed only by Saint-level masters. Who else but Yun Bo could have swung this sword? There's still time, there's still time!
Ye Lanxuan waved his hand, and Mu Hanyan and the others felt their bodies lighten, and then they floated into the air and glided down in the direction where the sword energy appeared.
This was the wind-controlling technique of the Sword Saint realm, and it was precisely with this technique that they were able to reach the Valley of Broken Souls in just a few hours. Although Ye Lanxun, a Sword Saint alone, couldn't allow them to control the wind for a long time, it could still save a considerable amount of time.
As they got closer to the bottom of the valley, the fog became thinner and thinner, and everyone finally saw the whole valley clearly.
The valley is long and narrow, the terrain is rugged, the stream is picturesque, and the vegetation is lush and verdant, like a fairyland on earth. An old-style house is hidden among the trees. Although the surrounding scenery is beautiful, this village gives people a strange and gloomy feeling.
Nearly a hundred swordsmen dressed in black were rushing back from the entrance of the valley and gathering towards the house.
