Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

In the firelight, the petal mark at the corner of his eye emitted a faint purple glow.

On her wrist, the drifting petals had somehow coalesced into a gentle breeze.

It resembles a willow branch swaying in the wind.

One end was in her hand, while the other extended into the yellow sand.

It appears to be on the verge of collapse, but it is surprisingly resilient.

"I'm quite good at this."

Qin Lianshang did not hide anything.

after all.

The abilities of the top master among the seven great masters of Yunzhou are not exactly a secret to many interested people.

She's not very good at fighting.

However, he is highly skilled in concealment, exploration, and even illusion.

Su Qing was gnawing on a lamb leg.

While mentally evaluating Qin Lianshang, he thought: a natural-born stealth support.

Moreover, he has extremely strong perception, a sharp mind, and meticulous attention to detail.

On the battlefield, they are talented individuals who can stand alone and even inspire their comrades.

He smiled.

That's why I brought her over.

This brief moment.

Qin Lianshang had already started giving instructions and making arrangements as was her habit.

A plan was devised to eliminate those sixteen individuals one by one.

The only problem is the lack of a striker capable of delivering a fatal blow.

Yunling must take charge of the defense.

after all.

Qin Lianshang herself could not have protected this place so thoroughly as she did.

And if it were to be attacked, one would be even less capable.

The remaining two—

Qin Lianshang's first reaction was to go and see Su Qing.

Ok.

well.

I've already eaten more than half of the lamb leg.

This time, a cup of tea was also added.

Although no words were said, it was obvious even without thinking.

He won't make a move.

Ugh.

Unfortunately, the two maids were absent at the crucial moment.

In that case, only one person remains.

"Your Highness, may I ask you a favor?"

silence.

Waited for a while.

There was no response.

Qin Lianshang was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look.

That's when I realized that the Holy Maiden had been spacing out for some time now!

I don't know what he was thinking, but his expression was inexplicably serious.

It looks very different from usual.

"Your Highness the Saint?"

Ji Lanxue's dark golden eyes flickered slightly.

I got it.

After hearing Qin Lianshang's plan.

She opened her mouth.

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

But in the end, he nodded.

"I understand, I'll give it a try."

"it is good."

"are you ready?"

Yun Ling called out.

Maintaining this state is surprisingly energy-consuming.

If we delay any longer, things could really get really bad!

"Ok!"

A petal drifts out.

It directly parted the layers of yellow sand.

It's not particularly noticeable.

Subsequently.

It seemed as if it was being drawn by some force.

It drifted slowly in one direction.

That place.

A figure was lying in ambush in the yellow sand.

They're just waiting for the people inside to give up so they can kill them.

suddenly.

His nose twitched.

Suddenly, I smelled a floral fragrance.

It smells pretty good.

Ok?

and many more.

Floral?

When the assassin realized something was wrong, his throat went cold, and he couldn't utter a sound.

Ji Lanxue emerged from behind the petals.

She looked down at the body that had fallen and was immediately buried by the yellow sand, her expression unusually cold.

But they did not stop.

Just for a moment.

She once again slipped into the cover of flower petals—Qin Lianshang's talent for using illusion magic was extraordinary.

Especially in such a complex environment, it can conceal itself from people without them even noticing.

It is a convenient capability, though.

Ji Lanxue drifted away.

Use this method to shuttle back and forth.

"Fourteen, fifteen..."

the last one.

"sixteen."

Sixteen more corpses appeared in the yellow sand.

Ji Lanxue let out a soft breath.

Even with Qin Lianshang's assistance.

She hasn't recovered to her peak condition yet.

After killing sixteen people in a row, I was already a bit tired.

She looked back.

Then a slight gloom settled in my heart.

Then it became clear.

really.

Although the sixteen ambushing men were killed, the attack on the campfire did not stop.

Ji Lanxue placed one hand on the corpse's forehead.

He muttered a few words to himself.

Subsequently.

A ray of holy light was drawn out.

It was quickly extinguished by the yellow sand and completely disappeared without a trace.

However, it only lasted for a short while.

This was enough to confirm Ji Lanxue's suspicions.

These people—come from the Holy Land!

Only disciples of the Holy Land possess this holy light within their bodies.

It's a symbol of identity, and also a kind of honor.

Ji Lanxue's mind raced through several thoughts.

They quickly grasped the current situation.

The other party wasn't after Su Qing, the imperial envoy, but after her!

This method of creating a sandstorm field is a style of one-hit kill.

It's all too familiar.

suddenly.

A chill ran down my back.

A flash of light came slashing down.

Ji Lanxue did not hesitate at all.

He crushed the flower petals in his hand.

next moment.

The body was shattered.

However, not a drop of blood was spilled.
