Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

Yunxuan didn't stop moving at all. Following the trajectory of the weapon that had been knocked away, he flicked the sword upwards.

The white light on the sword condensed again, even brighter, as if a miniature sunrise was blooming on the sword's edge.

The sun is slashing!

This flick was as swift as lightning, aimed straight at the chest of the attendant whose weapon had slipped from his hand, leaving him wide open!

The squire on the right, who was wielding a battle axe, was startled at the sight and immediately roared without waiting for the right moment to unleash his power.

With a whooshing sound, the battle axe in his hand slashed horizontally at Yun Xuan's waist with all his might, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!

However, Yunxuan seemed to have anticipated this.

He paused strangely midway through his upward slashing motion with the Sun Slash, leaning his body slightly backward.

The heavy battle axe grazed his chest, the force of the wind making his hair fly.

At the same time, Yun Xuan's body, which had been leaning back, bounced back like a spring, and then he unleashed a lightning strike!

The longsword in his hand instantly transformed into dozens of dense silver sword shadows, enveloping the two attendants like a sudden storm.

"Pfft pfft pfft...!"

The sword strikes landed precisely on the shoulders, wrists, and knees of the two henchmen—joints that, while not fatal, were enough to cripple their fighting ability.

The force was controlled perfectly, avoiding serious injury.

"Clang!" The battle axe landed on the ground.

The two attendants staggered backward almost simultaneously, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

All their offensives and coordinated attacks were like child's play in front of Yun Xuan.

A normal battle, from start to finish, probably only lasts a minute, clean and efficient.

The open space was completely silent.

Lin Jialu's light blue eyes widened in shock, her small mouth slightly agape.

Li Xin said she "wouldn't last more than three moves," and it really did only take three moves!

Moreover, judging from Yunxuan's effortless manner, he probably held back.

Li Xin, somewhat smugly, nudged Lin Jialu, who was still in a daze, with her elbow and said, "How about that? Do you believe me now? My brother is amazing!"

Lin Jialu came to her senses, glanced at Yun Xuan with a complicated look, and then looked at Li Xin with a proud expression, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Let's go...we should have a proper 'talk,' shall we?" Li Xin cleared her throat, looked at Lin Jialu, and her expression became serious.

Seeing Lin Jialu get the short end of the stick, Li Xin was still very happy.

The three then left and found a quiet and elegant restaurant nearby.

It was evening, and the hotel lobby was quite lively with many people sitting inside.

Li Xin was clearly a regular here, and she easily led Yun Xuan and Lin Jialu to a window seat.

Li Xin took the menu from the waiter, quickly scanned it, and then ordered five or six dishes.

He then said to the waiter, "Hmm, I don't want these. Bring the rest!"

That menu page was densely packed with twenty or thirty dishes!

Yunxuan's hand holding the teacup trembled almost imperceptibly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He finally understood what Li Xin meant when she said, "I have to make you bleed a little"... but wasn't this bleeding a bit too much?!

The price of just this one dish is probably not enough to cover the 300 gold coins he just received, and he might even have to pay out of pocket.

If all else fails... and there's not enough money to pay the bill later, he'll have a few Ninja Shadows stay behind to wash dishes and pay off the debt.

Anyway, they are highly efficient and don't need to eat, so their cost-effectiveness is off the charts.

Ninja Shadow: Why aren't the Giant Shadow and the Flying Shadow left to wash dishes?

Yunxuan: One is too big, and the other wing is too much of a hindrance.

Giant Shadow, Flying Shadow: ...

Clearly, this wasn't Li Xin's first time here, and the waiter wasn't surprised at all, heading straight to the kitchen.

Yunxuan looked at Lin Jialu sitting opposite him and got straight to the point: "Alright, let's get down to business. Sister Jialu, you should have also obtained... the Ghost Mask, right?"

Lin Jialu was twirling a strand of light blue hair from her forehead with her slender fingers when she heard this, she paused: "So that thing is called a Ghost Mask..."

He then said, "That's right, about half a month ago, a very strange-looking mask suddenly appeared in front of me."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Li Xin, who was sitting next to Yun Xuan, and she said with a hint of understanding, "Since I invited you here as well, does that mean you also...?"

Yunxuan is the "Commander," a fact she already knew through the Ghost Shadow Mask.

Since Li Xin has been brought into this conversation, the only explanation is that she is also one of the inheritors of the Ghost Mask.

Li Xin crossed her arms over her chest, accentuating her beautiful figure, and said, "That's right, just like you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jialu gave a soft "tsk," clearly dissatisfied with the result.

Yunxuan continued, "Sister Xin obtained the Ika Mask, which allows her to summon the Shadow Legion. Sister Jialu, which mask did you obtain? What are its characteristics, or what kind of legion can it summon?"

Lin Jialu recalled for a moment and described, "I don't know the exact name, but the mask was orange, and it could summon a legion of ghostly figures..."

She organized her thoughts briefly before saying, "Those ghostly legions have bodies that resemble snake-men, with their lower bodies resembling tentacles. Moreover, these tentacles are extremely elastic, capable of stretching and extending, and their attack methods are quite unique."

Based on her description, Yunxuan immediately found the corresponding mask in his memory: "That should be the Soft Shadow Legion, corresponding to the Lei Su mask."

He paused, then explained, "Neither of you have signed a contract yet, so the Ghost Legion is just the basic form."

"So... this is still just the basic form?" Lin Jialu was startled upon hearing this and immediately fell into deep thought.

If this is just the basics, what will it be like after the advanced levels?

Yunxuan continued, "Furthermore, after completing the contract, you will also receive the skill inheritance of the corresponding class's shadow attribute, and your own strength will also be enhanced."

Each of the benefits he listed was extremely tempting, and it would be hard for anyone not to be tempted.

"Of course, the final choice is still yours," Yunxuan said.

Lin Jialu was silent for a moment before saying, "I need to think about this matter further, as it involves quite a lot."

But then, she changed the subject, looking intently at Yun Xuan and said, "However, during this period of consideration, I will visit the Knights' Hall frequently."

Clearly, she decided to get to know Yunxuan, the core figure, better so she could make a more accurate judgment.

"What?!" Li Xin was shocked when she heard this, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"What are you doing here at the Knights' Hall? You're not welcome here!"

Lin Jialu rolled her eyes at her and said bluntly, "Who asked you to welcome me? Don't flatter yourself! I'm going to see Yunxuan, it's none of your business!"

As she spoke, a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face. She looked at Yunxuan and softened her voice a bit: "By the way, little brother Yunxuan, the Knights' Hall is so boring with all the fighting and killing all day long. Why don't you come back to the Magic Hall with your sister?"

Our Magic Temple offers far better treatment than their Knights' Temple! The environment is elegant, resources are abundant, and there's so much to learn! Even my older sister can provide one-on-one tutoring!

"Don't even think about it!" Li Xin became anxious upon hearing this, and forcefully pulled Yun Xuan, who was sitting in the middle, into her arms.

Caught off guard, Yunxuan's face was suddenly enveloped in a warm and soft touch, and the faint fragrance emanating from Li Xin lingered around his nose.

"What you're talking about, our Knights' Hall can do too, and Yunxuan is my brother! We won't give him to you!" Li Xin hugged Lin Jialu tighter and glared at her angrily.

"Hmph! Does he have your name written on his face? He's not yours alone!" Lin Jialu retorted without backing down, grabbing Yunxuan's other arm and pulling him back forcefully.

"Hiss..." Yunxuan felt like his arms were about to be torn off.

The people around immediately looked over with curiosity, watching the scene of people fighting over the "younger brother".

"Um, you two... how about we eat first? The food looks like it's about to be served..." Yunxuan said weakly.

After a brief struggle, Yunxuan feared that he would be torn to pieces by these two "older sisters" first.
