"Sister Yan, could these two also be from the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion?" Yu Qiqi asked Yingxue and Tinghe.
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "They are Yingxue and Tinghe, the two hall masters of Huanyan Pavilion."
Yingxue and Tinghe, who were standing to the side, were surprised that Ruan Xiyan had told them all this.
It seems that in the Lord's heart, they are a group of trustworthy people, and He truly considers them as friends; otherwise, He would not have told them these things.
Moreover, since the Lord has agreed to their trip, he must have already decided not to hide their identities.
"Xi Yan, why did you return to Huan Yan Pavilion in such a hurry? Did something happen there?" Luo Wanyin asked.
“I received a message from the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion. Although the information is incomplete, the pavilion must have suffered heavy losses. However, we still don’t know who is targeting the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion.” Ruan Xiyan’s eyes were dark and unreadable.
The Illusionary Beauty Pavilion is an intelligence assassin organization that has made quite a few enemies on the mainland.
In the past, many forces have targeted Huanyan Pavilion, wanting to eradicate it completely, but they all ended up failing.
The Illusionary Beauty Pavilion is quite powerful, and it is located on the Guixu Cliff, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Over time, those people couldn't do anything to Huanyan Pavilion, so they gave up and simply abandoned their efforts.
However, this time, the opponent of the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion seems to be extremely formidable.
At this moment, in the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion.
Corpses could be seen lying on the ground from time to time in the dense forest.
Some of the corpses were Phantom Guards from the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion, while others were disciples dressed in the attire of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The entire forest reeked of blood, a testament to the fierce fighting that had taken place here several times before.
Despite the critical situation, Xunmei remained calm and analyzed the situation, directing the Phantom Guards of the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion to launch a counterattack.
Xunmei looked at Hanxiang beside her, who was taking a pill to regulate her breathing, and asked worriedly, "Hanxiang, how are you? Can you hold on? Should I go out and fight instead?"
Hanxiang opened her eyes. "No need, I can still hold on. The master is not in the pavilion now, and the Huanyan Pavilion has been suddenly attacked, so people's hearts are unsettled."
"Xunmei, we still need you to sit in the main hall to command the battle and keep the people of Huanyan Pavilion calm."
“You’ve always been the best person to do these things, and I believe you can do them very well. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
"I still prefer fighting outside, so don't try to take it from me."
"Don't worry about me. If I could withstand three waves of attacks from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, I can withstand three more!"
"Now the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion is completely surrounded by the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and not even a single Illusionary Butterfly can get out. I wonder if the previous Illusionary Butterfly was able to bring the situation of the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion to the Master." Xunmei was full of worries.
She knew very well that Hanxiang's words were just to comfort her.
The attack on the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was swift and well-planned, as if it had been planned for a long time.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts far surpasses the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion in both numbers and top-tier strength.
They ordered their disciples to charge forward again and again.
Even though the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion has a locational advantage, they can't hold out for long if they keep attacking like this.
“Our lord never lets us down, and this time will be no exception. Let’s hold on a little longer, and when our lord returns, there will be a solution,” Hanxiang said, enunciating each word clearly.
“You’re right, we will definitely wait for our lord to return. Until then, we will protect the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion.” Xunmei’s eyes were firm.
News came from outside that the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was launching another attack.
Hanxiang stood up, gripped her long sword, and walked outside.
Xunmei called out from behind her, "Hanxiang, be careful, we still need to wait for the master to return."
Hanxiang didn't turn around, but answered forcefully, "Okay."
After Hanxiang left, Xunmei ordered the elders in the pavilion to provide support to the weak points in various places.
Thinking of something, she looked at one of the Phantom Guards in front of her and said, "Arrange Phantom Guards at the edge of Guixu Cliff as well."
“Master Mei, the edge of Guixu Cliff is a sheer cliff. Do you think those disciples from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts can come up from behind? We are already short-handed, and it would be a waste to waste more people guarding that place.”
"Just in case, we have to take precautions, so let's just do it."
"Yes." The Phantom Guard clasped his hands and withdrew.
Watching the Phantom Guards' departing figures, Xunmei clenched her fists tightly.
She will definitely protect the Illusionary Beauty Pavilion for the Lord, and protect their home!
On the other side, the Yunli Empire.
After finishing dealing with the pile of official business in his study, Ling Haoyang stretched and loosened his neck.
Although his father's health has improved significantly, he still leaves all these complicated state affairs to him.
He worked himself to the bone all day long, while his father enjoyed leisurely fishing and gardening, claiming it was to train him.
Ling Haoyang looked up and saw Ling Zhiheng walking over. "Second brother, instead of messing around with your wine, why are you here?"
“Before, that kid Jingyan would come here every few days asking for drinks, but I haven’t seen Lao San these past few days. Big brother, where did he go?”
“A few days ago, he said he missed Yan’er and wanted to borrow my Star Gate Book to visit her at Ice Feather Palace. Yan’er went to Ice Feather Palace to cultivate, how could I let that guy disturb her?”
"So I refused, but who knew that later, when my guards reported that he still secretly went there using a flying magic weapon," Ling Haoyang shook his head helplessly.
“This kid is too idle. We should find him something to do,” Ling Zhiheng said.
"Judging by the time, that kid should have seen Yan'er long ago. To be honest, I also miss Yan'er a little. The third brother didn't even invite me when he went," Ling Zhiheng said indignantly.
"I'm back!" Just as they were talking, a shout came from outside, and then Ling Jingyan walked in.
"Third brother, why are you back so soon?" Ling Haoyang asked, looking at Ling Jingyan who was walking towards him.
Knowing this guy's personality, he'll probably have a good time for a few days after seeing Yan'er.
"Third brother, you've seen your sister. How is she now? Is she doing well in the Ice Feather Palace?" Ling Zhiheng asked.
Ling Jingyan plopped down in the chair, snatched the teacup from Ling Zhiheng's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I didn't see Yan'er at the Ice Feather Palace, so I rushed back."
"What do you mean? Why isn't Yan'er in Ice Feather Palace?" Ling Haoyang frowned.
“I heard from the disciples of Ice Feather Palace that Yan’er left Ice Feather Palace in a hurry a few days ago, and we don’t know where she went. So we just missed her.”
“There were a few other people with Yan’er, also disciples of the Ice Feather Palace,” Ling Jingyan said. “On the way back, I was worried, so I inquired along the way, and it seems they went in the southeast direction.”
"The disciples of Ice Feather Palace need to do missions. Could it be that Yan'er went to do a mission?" Ling Zhiheng pondered, stroking his chin.
