The arrival of Mu Hanyan and the others changed the course of the battle at Beining Pass, and also changed everyone within. Beining Pass was no longer filled with the despair and sadness of the past, as if the end of the world had arrived. Everyone was now filled with confidence and vitality.
On the narrow streets, soldiers and civilians gathered in groups of three or five, talking excitedly about the hard battles of the day, with extremely relaxed expressions.
Mu Hanyan's face also showed a relaxed smile. After days of hard fighting, not a single soldier or civilian at Beining Pass was seriously injured or killed. She was very satisfied with this result.
However, the underworld beast never appeared again, but Mu Hanyan's heart was always uneasy. She never believed that the underworld beast would give up so easily. The attacks on the city by strange beasts in the past few days might just be sporadic drizzles before the storm.
After another inspection of the city walls, Mu Hanyan saw no flaws and no unusual activity in the distant Longyan Mountains before heading back to her residence. Although these beasts typically attacked during the day, everyone knew that due to their inherent advantages, night attacks were much more difficult to handle. With Mu Hanyan's powerful six senses, she could detect danger much earlier than others.
After returning to her residence, Mu Hanyan went to see Ye Yanran first. It had been more than a month since she left the capital and arrived at Beining Pass. She still hadn't woken up from her coma, but her injuries had long since healed. A faint blush appeared on her face, and she was full of vitality.
Mu Hanyan noticed that her meridians were undergoing subtle changes, just like Hua Yue and the others. It was almost certain that once she woke up, she would also possess the same innate magical powers as Hua Yue and the others.
What exactly could that magical power be? Mu Hanyan was a little curious and a little expectant.
It was late at night and everyone went to bed early.
Mu Hanyan returned to her room and prepared to rest after washing up. She was too tired these days and had not practiced properly. However, the energy in her body became more and more condensed, and there were signs of a breakthrough.
Continuous fighting is indeed the best shortcut to cultivation!
Suddenly, an invisible aura enveloped them. This aura was so powerful that even with Mu Hanyan's current strength as a great swordsman, he felt his heart tighten and the hairs on his back stood up when he was enveloped by the aura.
Could it be that underworld beast? Mu Hanyan suddenly turned over and jumped out of the window.
A man wearing a silver mask and covered in a black sword robe was standing outside the window, looking coldly at Mu Hanyan who jumped out of the window.
"It's you?" Mu Hanyan said in surprise.
I thought it was the underworld beast that came to find me, but I didn't expect it to be him.
"Leave Beining Pass and leave Luoan City." The masked man said in a voice without any emotion.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan asked with a frown.
"If you don't want to die, leave Beining Pass and leave Luoan City. This is for your own good." The masked man did not answer her question and continued to speak coldly.
"What if I don't leave?" Mu Hanyan said.
"That's all I have to say. If you don't leave, no one can save you." The masked man said lightly.
"Do you know that the safety of Beining Pass and Luoan City is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in the entire Anyun Kingdom? If Anyun is in chaos, the entire Holy Court Continent may be destroyed." Mu Hanyan looked directly into the other person's eyes and said.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't have said so much, but according to Ye Lanxun, this mysterious masked man should be Yun Qianmo, his teacher, friend, and brother. So, even though his words were full of threats, Mu Hanyan would find it difficult to regard him as an enemy.
"The safety of the Holy Court Continent is not your concern. You only need to know one thing. If you don't leave Beining Pass and Luoan City, you will surely die and no one can save you." The masked man also looked directly into Mu Hanyan's eyes and said word by word.
"It's not as easy as you think to kill Young Master Mu!" At this moment, dozens of black shadows appeared on the courtyard wall, dozens of longbows with fully drawn strings, and the sword tips infused with powerful energy shone brightly in the night, making a heart-pounding buzzing sound.
The courtyard door was knocked open, and the Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting, dressed in full armor, strode in and stood in front of Mu Hanyan.
Although he had just experienced a great battle during the day, the Fifth Prince was still full of fighting spirit and his eyes were so firm and resolute.
Although his arm was broken, Qu Fengting was still as tall as a mountain, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, full of murderous intent.
The dozens of soldiers holding longbows and pulling the bowstrings tightly also had their eyes as fast as lightning, fixed on the masked man's heart.
Don't underestimate them. Every one of them is a master above the level of swordsman. The longbows and sharp arrows in their hands are also made by the emperor's royal sword workshop specifically for border fortresses. They are called Cloud-Piercing and Stone-Smashing Bows. Although they cannot be called magic weapons, after all the energy is poured into them, their power is not much worse than that of low-level magic weapons. A hundred steps are enough to penetrate a huge rock.
Beining Pass's ability to hold out against the relentless attacks of the exotic beasts is largely due to these powerful bows, capable of piercing rock from a hundred paces away. Unless one reaches the level of a Sword Saint, or possesses the innate defenses of a high-level exotic beast, no one dares to take such powerful bows lightly. Even a Sword Saint-level expert would suffer severe injuries if caught off guard and struck in the vitals.
"Do you think you can protect her with your strength?" Unfortunately, the masked man in front of him was a master who was even more powerful than the Sword Saint. He did not take the Fifth Prince, Qu Fengting, and the dozens of Cloud-Piercing and Stone-Breaking Bows seriously at all.
"If they can't do it, what about us?" Hua Yue and others also stood in front of Mu Hanyan.
"Your strength has improved a lot, but unfortunately, even with you included, it's still not enough." The masked man looked at Hua Yue and the others and shook his head.
