Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang fought side by side. Their sword lights were like lightning, cutting through the sky and intertwining with the terrifying figure. Every collision of the swords aroused a circle of vitality fluctuations, shaking the surrounding rocks.

However, the power of that figure seemed endless, and no matter how they attacked, they could not completely defeat it. Fang Yue was secretly anxious, he knew that this was not a solution, he had to find the weakness of this figure.

While fending off the figure's attacks, he carefully observed its movements. Suddenly, he discovered that every time the figure attacked, a black mist would surge from its chest, which seemed to be the source of its power.

Fang Yue immediately winked at Zhu Linlang, signaling her to attack the black mist. Zhu Linlang understood, and the next moment, she jumped up like a flash of lightning, piercing the chest of the figure.

Fang Yue also exerted his strength at the same time, and his long sword shot out like a dragon from the sea, heading straight for the black mist. Their attack finally worked, the figure let out a shrill scream, and the black mist began to dissipate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang launched an even more fierce attack. Their sword lights fell like dense rain, chopping the figure into pieces.

Finally, the figure could no longer hold on, and the huge body fell to the ground. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang smiled at each other. Although they were exhausted, their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.

"Thanks to you, Linlang. Let's move on." Fang Yue said, put away his sword and extended his hand to Zhu Linlang.

Zhu Linlang held Fang Yue's hand and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's leave here quickly to avoid encountering other dangers."

After a short rest, the two continued on their journey. The Shiwan Mountains were still filled with a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere, but their eyes were full of determination.

They walked along the rugged mountain road, the sun shining through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows. The birdsong and the rustling of leaves around them intertwined, as if playing music to their courage.

After walking for a while, they came to a clear stream. The gurgling stream made a pleasant sound. Fang Yue squatted down, scooped up some stream water with his hands, washed his face, and felt the coolness.

Zhu Linlang also walked to the stream, looking at her reflection in the water, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. They had experienced so many dangers and challenges, but they were still determined to walk on this journey home.

"Fang Yue, we must return to Wei safely." Zhu Linlang said softly.

Fang Yue nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "Don't worry, Linlang. We will definitely succeed."

They rested for a while by the stream, replenished some water, and then continued on their way. As they went deeper, the scenery in the Hundred Thousand Mountains became more and more spectacular. They saw towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, and dense forests.

However, they also know that behind this beautiful scenery, there are countless dangers hidden. They always remain vigilant and pay attention to the movements around them.

As they were walking through a dense forest, they suddenly heard a low roar. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.

"This sound... is there another monster?" Zhu Linlang frowned and said.

Fang Yue gripped his sword tightly, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance: "Be careful, let's find a place to hide and observe the situation."

They found a secluded spot in the woods and hid.

As time went by, the roar gradually faded away. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps in the distance. Their hearts tightened and they became alert again.

A group of figures gradually approached, and the leader was none other than Yang Chan, the champion. Yang Chan had a gloomy face, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Behind him followed a group of masters from Da Chu, all of whom had stern expressions and exuded a powerful aura.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was not good. They had not expected that they would be tracked by Yang Chan and others in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Yang Chan stopped and looked at where Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were hiding. He sneered, "Fang Yue, Zhu Linlang, do you think you can escape? Today is the day you die."

Fang Yue stood up, unsheathed his sword, and looked at Yang Chan fearlessly: "Yang Chan, you escaped last time, and you dare to catch up with me again this time."

Yang Chan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Fang Yue, I was careless last time. This time, you are not so lucky."

Zhu Linlang also stood beside Fang Yue, looking at Yang Chan and the others with a firm gaze: "Yang Chan, you are forcing us so hard, aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two countries?"

Yang Chan snorted: "So what if the two countries go to war? As long as we can get rid of you, everything will be worth it."

After saying that, Yang Chan waved his hand, and the masters of the Great Chu behind him immediately rushed forward. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang did not flinch, but went forward and started a fierce battle with them again.

Sword shadows flickered, vitality was flowing. With his profound skills and agility, Fang Yue rushed left and right among the enemy groups, defusing the enemy's attacks again and again. Zhu Linlang dealt with the enemy with light steps and sharp swordsmanship.

However, there were many masters in Da Chu, and they gradually fell into trouble. Fang Yue was anxious, he knew that this was not a solution, he had to find a way to break through.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly found that Yang Chan was standing a little forward. He suddenly thought of a plan.

Fang Yue deliberately exposed a flaw to lure a master from Da Chu closer. Then, he suddenly exerted force, repelled the master, and rushed towards Yang Chan.

Yang Chan was shocked and quickly stepped back, but Fang Yue was so fast that he was in front of him in an instant.

Fang Yue swung his sword and pointed it at Yang Chan's throat: "Stop it! Otherwise I will kill him."

Seeing this, the masters of Da Chu stopped their attacks. Yang Chan's face turned pale, with horror in his eyes: "Fang Yue, you dare to kill me?"

Fang Yue sneered, "You are going to kill us, what else can I not dare to do?"

Zhu Linlang also took the opportunity to come to Fang Yue and hold Yang Chan hostage with him.

"Now, let your men retreat and we can spare your life." Zhu Linlang said.

Yang Chan had no choice but to order the masters of Da Chu to retreat. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang held Yang Chan and slowly retreated.

As the masters of Da Chu retreated, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang did not relax their vigilance. They knew that there were dangers everywhere in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and they had to be cautious with every step. Holding Yang Chan, they continued to move forward, looking for a way to escape safely.

"We must leave here as soon as possible. Yang Chan's power should not be underestimated. He may send more pursuers at any time." Fang Yue whispered to Zhu Linlang, with urgency in his eyes.

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement. At the same time, she noticed a hint of unwillingness and gloom in Yang Chan's expression, which made her more determined to leave this place as soon as possible.

They passed through dense forests one after another, crossed several turbulent streams, and finally came to a relatively open area. In the distance, there were undulating mountains and shrouded in clouds and mist, as if nature was guiding them to a way out.

"Look, there seems to be a path over there, which may lead to the outside world." Zhu Linlang pointed to the distance and the other party said.

Fang Yue observed carefully and felt that it was indeed a direction worth trying. So, they escorted Yang Chan and moved forward carefully along the path. The path was winding, sometimes steep, sometimes flat. They walked very hard, but the hope in their hearts was like the light ahead, getting brighter and brighter.

Just as they were about to leave the mountainous area, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang immediately became alert, and saw several pursuers from Da Chu appear in their sight.

"Oh no, they're catching up!" Zhu Linlang said nervously.

Fang Yue held the sword tightly, his eyes determined: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We just need to hold on a little longer and we can escape."

They held Yang Chan in their hands and fought the pursuer to the end. Swords flashed, vital energy surged, and every encounter was a battle between life and death.

Finally, after great efforts, they successfully repelled the pursuers and continued along the trail. As time went by, they finally walked out of the Shiwan Mountains and returned to the territory of the Great Wei.

When they stepped out of the Shiwan Mountains and onto the land of Wei, they felt an indescribable joy and emotion. After going through many hardships, they finally returned successfully.

Fang Yue took a deep breath of the familiar air, turned to look at Zhu Linlang, his eyes full of relief: "We are back, Linlang."

Zhu Linlang also showed a bright smile on her face, and she nodded: "Yes, we are finally home."

The two escorted Yang Chan and were vigilant all the way until they finally arrived at a small town on the border of the Wei Dynasty. Although the town was not big, it had strong walls and was heavily guarded, giving people a sense of security.

They found an inn, locked Yang Chan in a secret room, and sent someone to guard her strictly. Then, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the lobby of the inn, enjoying the rare tranquility.

"I'm finally back to Wei. It feels so good." Zhu Linlang exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with the joy of returning home.

Fang Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, the experience during this period is just like a dream. But we finally returned safely."

They chatted for a while and decided to rest here for one night and continue their journey tomorrow. After all, they were all exhausted and needed to recover their strength.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had just rested for a day in the inn in the small town. The morning sun had not yet fully filled the streets when the sound of hurried horse hooves and the friction of armor broke the silence.

They woke up suddenly, looked at each other quickly, and had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"The border garrison of the Great Wei Dynasty! Why are they here? Could it be that someone has learned about us?" Zhu Linlang whispered, her eyes instantly becoming alert.

The dynasty's border troops cannot be easily mobilized.

Zhu Linlang, the empress of Wei, had issued strict orders to the garrisons in various places not to move lightly when she went to the Chu for peace talks. However, the arrival of the border garrisons has undoubtedly broken this ban.

"Could it be that someone learned of your return and sent the nearest border troops to greet you?" Fang Yue said at this time.

"No, this is definitely not a simple welcome. Our whereabouts have always been very secretive, how could anyone know? Moreover, I have strictly ordered the garrisons in various places not to move rashly, how could they come here without permission?"

Zhu Linlang said in a low voice, her tone revealing firmness and determination.

Zhu Linlang and Fang Yue looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

They quickly got up and went to the window, carefully observing the situation outside.

The streets were filled with armored border garrisons who surrounded the inn. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.

At this time, a man who looked like a general stood up and shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone inside, someone reported you for impersonating the Queen of Wei and Fang Yue, and claimed that you died in the Chu. Now, put down your weapons and come out to be inspected, otherwise we will force our way in."

Fang Yue frowned and whispered, "Linlang, this is strange. Someone must be behind this."

Zhu Linlang's eyes were cold, and she nodded slightly: "Yes, it seems that as soon as we returned to Wei, someone couldn't wait to kill us. But they underestimated us."

Fang Yue clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to break through."

Zhu Linlang thought for a moment and said, "Let's see where they are going first, and then look for an opportunity. If that doesn't work, we'll force our way out."

The garrison outside began to slowly approach the inn, and the heavy footsteps seemed to knock on their hearts. Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang watched the situation outside nervously, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

As the garrison approached, the atmosphere in the inn became increasingly tense. Some guests fled in panic, and the scene was in chaos.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Zhu Linlang frowned. She was lucky to succeed the throne of the Great Wei Emperor.

Within the Wei Dynasty, there are countless people who want to replace it.

"That's right, Linlang, it looks like we have to be careful." Fang Yue gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes like torches, scanning the dense garrison outside the window, and he already had a plan in mind.

Zhu Linlang calmly analyzed: "We just returned to Wei, the news can't spread so quickly, unless..."

"Unless there is a traitor!" Fang Yue said, his eyes becoming more determined. "We must act as soon as possible and not let them succeed."

At this moment, the frontier troops outside launched an attack. They held spears and shields in front and approached the inn in an orderly manner, while the archers in the back pulled their bowstrings to their full potential, ready to shoot at any time.

"Let's get ready to go!" Fang Yue whispered to Zhu Linlang.

Although the border troops' military strength cannot compare to that of the two men, they are numerous. What's more, these people are also citizens of the Wei Dynasty. We can't kill all of them!
At this time, the attack outside had become more and more fierce, with arrows raining down on the inn, and many arrows even penetrating the windows and shooting into the lobby.

"We have to distract them."

As Fang Yue spoke, he swung his sword, split a piece of wood in half, and then threw it towards the window.

The wooden board was carried by the strong wind, whistling out of the window and smashing onto the shields of a group of border soldiers. (End of this chapter)
