"Who is that person?" Mu Hanyan asked.
When the Nether Beast reappeared and displayed the strength of a Sword Saint, both Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun mistakenly thought that Yun Qianmo's previous warning was because of him, but later, they realized they were wrong.
Even if Xu Ming relied on the lunar eclipse to cast the Moon Devouring Prison and transform into a humanoid form, breaking through the limitations of the laws and increasing his strength to the limit, he would still be no match for Ye Lanxun, let alone defeat him and pose a fatal threat to Mu Hanyan. Yun Qianmo was actually referring to the mysterious man in black.
The man was too powerful, even Ye Lanxun was at a disadvantage when fighting with him. It was because of his entanglement that Ye Lanxun had no time to rescue him. If Ye Yanran had not woken up at the right time and realized Tianlin Shenyu's innate magical power, she would most likely have died at the hands of Xu Ming, and even Ye Lanxun would be powerless to save her.
Who is that person, and why did he help the evil? What is the connection between him and the Nine Netherworld Prison? Why did Yun Qianmo know of his existence, and what is his relationship with him?
"I don't know either, but it seems a bit familiar." Ye Lanxuan stared into the distance.
The man in black was wearing a black scarf and had his face covered, so his appearance could not be seen at all. His martial arts were also completely unfamiliar to him, but for some reason, he intuitively felt a sense of déjà vu.
Although he knew that speaking out would only make Mu Hanyan more worried, he still didn't want to hide it. When Mu Hanyan was seriously injured and her life was fading, his heart was torn as if by a knife and he had no desire to live. After such a life-and-death separation, he cherished Mu Hanyan even more and was absolutely unwilling to hide anything from her.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan looked at Ye Lanxuan in surprise.
"I'm not sure either. It's just a hunch." Ye Lanxuan smiled, then suddenly held Mu Hanyan's hand tightly. He looked deeply into her eyes and said, "But none of this matters. You just need to remember one thing: whether you live or die, I will always be by your side, forever."
"Yeah." Mu Hanyan nodded heavily and snuggled in Ye Lanxun's arms.
The morning sun shines on the two of them, covering them with a layer of golden veil. They embrace each other so affectionately, as if time has stopped, like a perfect painting.
Zirong and others were in a corner far away, looking at the two figures cuddling together high up, muttering to themselves.
"At first I suspected they were gay, but now seeing how nice they are, it's really..." Zirong picked her nose. Before she could finish her words, Jiang Yuzhe also picked his nose and muttered, "I'm so envious."
"What should I envy? I have a fiancée." Zirong glanced at Jiang Yuzhe and looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"I also have a little tigress." Jiang Yuzhe puffed out his chest and said unconvincedly.
Then the two of them turned to look at Huayue at the same time. Huayue gave them a cold look, said "idiot", and turned away.
"Jealous." Zirong snorted.
"Absolutely jealous." Jiang Yuzhe also hummed.
In the days that followed, experts from the various chambers of commerce continued to reside at the Beining and Qingyang passes. After the renovations, the two passes had regained their former grandeur and ruggedness, remaining impregnable. However, no more exotic beasts appeared. Even within the thousands of miles of the Longyan Mountains within the canyon, it was difficult to find any powerful exotic beasts.
This is actually not surprising. This time the monster riots swept across the entire Holy Court Continent. The monsters hidden deep in the Longyan Mountains came out in full force. Anyun Kingdom was the first to be hit simply because it was too close to the Longyan Mountains. In fact, not long after the emergency was reported everywhere in Anyun Kingdom, other countries were also attacked fiercely by monsters.
Although the number of strange beasts is large, it is also limited. In the last decisive battle, the strange beasts that attacked Luoan City were completely wiped out. It is estimated that not only the strange beasts within a thousand miles of the canyon, but also the strange beasts within tens of thousands of miles will not be able to recover for thousands of years. How can they have the strength to launch another attack?
After nearly three months of hard resistance, the first reinforcements finally arrived, followed by the second and third.
The battles in other counties of Anyun were far less brutal than those in Luoan City and Beining Qingyang Pass. After the initial chaos, the garrisons in various places quickly organized a powerful counterattack. After quelling the wars in various places, they immediately divided their troops and rushed to Beining Pass.
On the dangerous and solid pass, swords were as white as snow and long swords were like a forest. The soldiers' heroic and upright figures looked like sculptures that would never fall.
At this time, Luoan City, together with the two passes of Beining and Qingyang, had a total garrison of more than 300,000 troops, and most of them were elite border troops who had experienced hundreds of battles. There were even some powerful generals at the level of great swordsmen. Not to mention that the strange beasts within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were seriously injured, even at their peak, they would never pose any threat to Luoan City and the two passes of Beining and Qingyang.
Mu Hanyan and others naturally didn't need to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to the Fifth Prince and others, they led the team away.
At Beining Pass, the horn sounded again, and countless soldiers and civilians knelt on one knee to pay the highest respect to Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan waved to them from afar. Behind her, hundreds of young men from aristocratic families riding on sword pets also shouted in unison and waved to them.
Although in the final battle at Qingyang Pass, all the strange beasts jumped into the abyss with Xu Ming, most of the strange beasts that had retreated from Beining Pass before were tamed by Mu Hanyan's divine beast contract and became sword pets of the children of those aristocratic families.
After a series of bloody battles, the three great families of Mu, He and Yan, as well as a number of affiliated families, not only did not lose a single person, but each of them earned a sword pet, which can be said to have made a fortune.
The one who benefited the most was the Zhang family. This time, in order to support Mu Hanyan, the Zhang family gambled their entire fortune, and Mu Hanyan did not disappoint them. All the Zhang family members who participated in the battle had a sword pet in their hands, which greatly increased their strength.
Among the other five great families that surrendered to Dan Tai Xuan, except for Fang Zihe who still had a conscience and left the city to fight in time, the other four families suffered heavy casualties. There were less than two hundred people surviving in the end, and everyone was injured, half of whom were missing arms and legs.
There is no doubt that in this competition among the eight great families, their four major families were completely defeated. The young master of the Mo family, Mo Yanhong, not only died tragically at Qingyang Pass, but also became a laughing stock. The Mo family will definitely be expelled from the list of the eight great families, and the one who will replace the Mo family will undoubtedly be the Zhang family.
Looking at Mu Hanyan's clear and beautiful face, Zhang Chihua was filled with emotion. Recalling his first experience of meeting Mu Hanyan and Zhang Moyang's subsequent surprising decision, he was even more impressed by his father's foresight.
As for whether the Changsun and Songqu families can maintain their status among the eight great families, it will have to wait until they return to Beijing and discuss with the elders of each family and His Majesty the Emperor to decide. However, looking at their companions who are either disabled or injured, and then looking at Changsun Yian who has become a cripple, and Song Yu who is crazy and talking nonsense with a broken folding fan, even they themselves do not hold out any hope.
(The annual meeting has begun! Aaaaaa~~ I'm flying to Japan tomorrow, and I'm going to eat, drink, and relax again! Once a year, I hope everyone will pamper me once, that is, hahahaha, muah muah muah, the amount of updates may be uncertain recently. But I won't stop.)
