This woman was none other than Xie Daoyun, who was heading to Zishan. A few days ago, she passed through the area and, because of her beautiful appearance, she attracted a lot of attention at the inn. Soon, several rude men whistled at her and came over to flirt with her.
Although she was usually quiet, she didn't give a good look to this kind of hooligan who harassed respectable women and taught him a lesson.
Even in Bright Moon City, her cultivation level was not something that ordinary hooligans could afford to mess with, let alone the fact that she had become Yan Xiangu's disciple in the past two years.
However, she was kind-hearted, and although she taught the other party a severe lesson, she did not kill him.
Little did they know that this would cause trouble, and not long after, those men found some more companions.
This time, those people were much more powerful, but they were no match for Xie Daoyun, who was a rune master.
She easily dealt with those people. Although she was kind, she was not naive. She was annoyed that these people didn't know when to stop, so she deliberately broke the hands or legs of a few of the culprits, but she couldn't bring herself to kill them.
Originally, he thought that displaying the rune master's abilities would be enough to deter these petty villains, but who knew that before long, it would attract even more people—no, it should be said that it attracted an "army".
Born into an official family, she quickly recognized from their tattered clothes and haphazard weaponry that they were not the imperial army, but rather a group of rebels emerging from various regions.
Although Xie Daoyun's cultivation level was not low, she still couldn't defeat an army.
So she fought off the attacking enemies while trying to escape, but there seemed to be trackers in that army who could always find her trail and she could never shake them off.
The two ran and chased each other until they unknowingly arrived in this vicinity.
The intense escape over the past few days had left Xie Daoyun exhausted. The rebel army seemed to be very good at this kind of thing, taking turns to rotate using their numerical advantage, but she was all alone and had no chance to rest.
Several days passed like this, and Xie Daoyun's vital energy was almost depleted. More importantly, she was physically and mentally exhausted. She felt that she could fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, but the rune formations she had learned often required sufficient mental energy to unleash their maximum power.
She had barely rested under a tree for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when a small squad of rebels caught up with her.
Xie Daoyun clenched her teeth, wondering what was going on with the local government. How could such an army be roaming freely in their jurisdiction without anyone doing anything about it?
Despite her complaints, she could only rely on herself at this point. Having grown up in an official family, she was surrounded by descriptions of the rebels as extremely brutal. Especially since she was a woman, the thought of what would happen if she fell into the hands of the rebels was chilling.
The surrounding rebels gathered around, but did not approach immediately, clearly indicating that they had suffered a lot at her hands these past few days.
The rebels picked up their bows and arrows and shot at her from a distance; some even threw axes and spears at her.
Xie Daoyun gritted her teeth and quickly formed hand seals. Soon, a semi-transparent blue magic circle appeared in front of her, blocking all the arrows and spears.
But soon the magic circle in front of her began to flicker, and she began to sway precariously.
"This woman's vital energy is almost depleted, everyone give it your all!" There were also many cultivators on the rebel side, and they immediately judged her current condition.
Xie Daoyun's face was deathly pale. She changed her hand seal and casually threw the arrows she had just blocked back at Xie Daoyun.
Soon, screams of agony echoed from the rebel side as many were caught off guard and wounded by the arrows.
Unfortunately, most of them managed to defend themselves and then pounced on the enemy while howling.
Those bloodshot eyes showed just how excited they were; they were sure they could capture this pretty young woman soon.

Xie Daoyun's fingers moved, forming a new hand seal and pressing it to the ground. A pale red magic circle appeared on the ground, and then explosions began to erupt all around, causing the rebels to fall to their deaths.
Taking advantage of the cover of the smoke and dust, Xie Daoyun desperately began to run.
However, this can only buy them a little time. There are many experts among the rebels, and some of them ride exotic beasts that are faster than many cultivators. Moreover, Xie Daoyun is currently exhausted.
Sure enough, after running only a few miles, a whooshing sound came from behind, and countless spears were thrown to block her path.
Xie Daoyun was startled and stopped in her tracks. In that short time, she was surrounded by the rebel army.
The rebels rode around her on various strange beasts, whistling loudly. They were clearly excited that their prey, which they had been chasing for so long, was finally about to be captured.
A hint of despair flashed in Xie Daoyun's eyes; she now had almost no vital energy left in her body.
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes; she would rather die than fall into the hands of these rebels.
It's just a pity that I'll never see my parents and brother again, and I'll never see that person again...
Just then, the first rebel soldier to approach her was struck in the temple by an arrow and fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone around was startled and turned to look. They heard the sound of hooves and a troop of gleaming golden-armored cavalry galloping toward them.
"What kind of unit is this?" The rebels asked in surprise as they formed ranks. Their equipment was far too good. How could ordinary county soldiers have such excellent standard armor and weapons?
Even the most elite guards of the feudal lords are somewhat inferior to them!
