Seeing Ruan Xiyan stop, Wu Xie asked anxiously, "Miss Ruan, how is it?"
“It’s all settled now, but you have to remember, you only have three years,” Ruan Xiyan reminded her.
As for what happened next, that was not her concern.
Whether he succeeds or not, it ultimately depends on him.
Wu Xie looked at Ruan Xiyan solemnly, "I will remember Miss Ruan's kindness. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay it double."
“If there’s nothing else, then we should get up and leave,” Ruan Xiyan said.
Having obtained the Brahma Bone Fruit, she naturally wanted to return to the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion as soon as possible.
"Miss Ruan has urgent business, so I won't keep you any longer. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. Take care on your journey."
Ruan Xiyan smiled but didn't say anything more.
After leaving the inner city, to make things easier for Yao Yao, Ruan Xiyan and her group took a flying magical artifact to Huan Yan Pavilion on their way back.
Inside the palace of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Song Huiyang walked over and reported some recent news to Valley Master Yin Changdu, who was sitting on the throne in the hall.
"Valley Master, I have completed the tasks you entrusted to me. Those people's combat strength will definitely not disappoint you."
After Song Huiyang finished speaking, he clapped his hands.
Several men dressed in black iron armor slowly walked into the main hall, their eyes dull and their expressions blank.
He knelt down facing Yin Changdu and said, "Greetings, Valley Master."
Yin Changdu raised his hand and summoned more than a dozen disciples. He then pointed to one of the armored men and said, "Have a fight and let this Valley Master see what it's like."
"Yes, Valley Master."
A dozen or so disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts rushed toward the armored man, thinking that with so many of them against one, the battle would be over quickly.
Who knew that just as they rushed in front of the armored man, the armored man disappeared as quickly as the wind.
When he reappeared, he appeared directly behind those disciples.
He had no weapons, yet every part of his body could be used as a weapon.
He used his own arm as a blade to pierce through the body of a disciple.
Blood splattered on the main hall, and the disciple lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing this, Governor Yin did not call a halt, which clearly indicated his tacit approval.
Since it's a battle, it's a life-or-death struggle, not some childish game.
The other disciples panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and attacked the armored man.
If they don't kill him, they will be the ones who die today.
However, that armored man was so fast that he seemed inhuman.
One disciple after another fell in pools of blood.
The hall reeked of blood, but Governor Yin Changdu seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
As the disciples fell one by one, one of them finally seized the opportunity and stabbed the armored man with his sword.
Before the disciple could even rejoice, the armored man snapped his neck without batting an eye.
Blood flowed from the hole pierced by the armored man, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, not even blinking.
Even with wounds on his body, his speed and combat power remained undiminished.
In no time, they slaughtered all the dozen or so disciples, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, Yin Changdu exclaimed with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad at all, it's simply a weapon born solely for killing."
"You didn't handle the attack on Huanyan Pavilion well last time, but you did a good job on this one."
Song Huiyang replied modestly, "This is all because of the Valley Master's wisdom and strategic planning."
"No one expected that the master of the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion would actually be the princess of the Yunli Empire."
“We suffered considerable losses there. Although we did not achieve the expected results, we also gained something.”
"However, it will be much more difficult for us to attack the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion again."
"After all, if we set our sights on the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion, we will be facing two forces at the same time: the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion and the Yunli Empire. The Illusionary Beauty Pavilion is already difficult to deal with, and with the Yunli Empire added on top of that, our chances of winning are not high."
"Moreover, last time we dealt a heavy blow to the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion by surprise, I'm afraid they'll find an opportunity to retaliate. Valley Master, we should make plans as soon as possible."
Yin Changdu sneered, "After the last battle, the relationship between us and Huanyan Pavilion is beyond repair, and we are destined to be mortal enemies."
"Our newly developed armored man is capable of taking on ten enemies at once. We should develop more armored men as soon as possible."
"Even if the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion and the Yunli Empire join forces, they still won't be able to do anything to us."
"Your main task now is to develop the Iron Man. As for the rest, I'll figure it out."
Yin Changdu's eyes were unfathomable. "As long as there are enough tempting benefits, there's no need to worry about not having allies."
Yin Changdu glanced at the disciples' corpses in the main hall and said, "Take these corpses with us as well; we can't waste them."
“I understand, Valley Master.” Song Huiyang bowed and withdrew.
The armored men carried the corpse and followed them away.
On the way back to the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion, Ruan Xiyan, who was cultivating, suddenly emitted a power fluctuation.
Ling Jingyan's eyes lit up with joy, "My sister has broken through!"
Ruan Xiyan opened her eyes, looked at the strength around her, and a smile flashed across her eyes.
Eighth level of the Creation Realm!
"Congratulations, Ayan," Junyu said with a smile.
"Here, Yan'er, have something to eat." Ling Jingyan handed over the pastries he had packed on the way.
"You've been so focused on cultivation the whole way that you haven't had time to eat much."
"Thank you, Third Brother." Ruan Xiyan accepted it.
"Yan'er, after you return to Huanyan Pavilion and heal Hanxiang's arm, are you going to take action against Wanshou Valley?" Ling Jingyan asked.
Ruan Xiyan nodded, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "I will avenge this!"
She has already sent out the Illusionary Butterfly message, informing Qiqi and the others that she is about to return to the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion.
Once Qiqi and the others see this, they will understand what she means.
Although she didn't want to involve them in this matter, she had already promised them.
If I don't tell them, I don't know how they'll criticize me the next time we meet.
With their strength, they shouldn't encounter any danger unless they face the Valley Master or Elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Going along to gain some practical experience is a good idea.
"Your brothers are with you."
"Me too," Jun Yu said.
Hearing Jun Yu's words, Ling Jingyan patted him on the shoulder, "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Jun, yet you still risked your life with us. How righteous!"
"He truly deserves to be the brother I, Ling Jingyan, have recognized," Ling Jingyan affirmed.
"Brother Ling, you flatter me. I will certainly help with Ayan's matter."
Seeing their expressions, Ruan Xiyan smiled as she ate her pastries.
The two of them looked rather funny for some reason.
Especially the third brother, with that determined look in his eyes, you'd think they were about to become sworn brothers.
The Wind Spirit Space was bustling with activity at this time, thanks to the arrival of new companions.
Biqiong and the others circled around Xuanguang again and again.
