If we continue to resist here, there will be only one outcome, and that is a meaningless death. However, if we escape, we may have a chance to survive and continue to contribute our little bit to Hehuan Valley.
That’s right, escaping is also for the future of Hehuan Valley!
The masters of Hehuan Valley convinced themselves.
"Retreat! Retreat! To the palace!" A master took the lead in taking action in the early stage. After blocking an attack from Master Yao Chi, he used the impact of the attack to instantly move away from the battlefield and fled into the distance without looking back.
When the other masters of Hehuan Valley saw that some people had already escaped, they made the same choice.
When the masters of Yao Chi saw the masters of He Huan Valley being defeated, they wanted to chase them immediately, but Qian Lin’s loud shout stopped them: “Help Senior Sister Gu to get rid of her opponents first!”
That’s right. Everyone turned around and saw that the four mid-stage Grandmasters on Senior Sister Gu Xue’s side hadn’t had time to run away!
If we can get rid of these four mid-stage grandmasters here, Hehuan Valley will definitely suffer a great loss!
After figuring out this simple problem, the masters of Yao Chi immediately gave up chasing those fleeing trash and instead began to besiege the four poor masters who were held back by Gu Xue.
These four mid-stage Grandmasters were already unable to cope with Gu Xue, and now other people from Yao Chi joined the siege. They had no ability to resist and were quickly killed by Gu Xue one by one with one sword.
This time, Yao Chi won a great victory in the raid.
247.Confidence
"Ah?" Seeing the chaos at the Yao Chi headquarters from afar, the oiran reached out and pinched her arm hard.
Hiss... It hurts a lot. It shouldn’t be a dream or an illusion.
When did the people of Yaochi become so aggressive? Don't they dislike the active type? Why did they suddenly change their personality this time and become so tough?
If she didn't know that this was the Yao Chi headquarters, the courtesan would really have mistaken the people from Yao Chi as disciples of the Sword Sect.
In her impression, it seemed that only the disciples of the Sword Sect would be so proactive in seeking out the Demon Sect.
Only the disciples of the Sword Sect dare to take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy when facing an enemy force that is twice their number.
"Sister Hua, what should we do now..." Before the courtesan's subordinates could finish asking the question, they found that their boss had already rushed straight towards the fleeing masters of the Hehuan Valley.
"Of course we'll kill them all!" Only the courtesan's faint voice remained in the air.
If Yao Chi can't deal with all the opponents, then she will help Yao Chi. She doesn't need to be thanked. As long as Yao Chi can quickly destroy Hehuan Valley's big plan, that will be all.
Our goals are, for now, the same.
The target selection of the courtesan is very clear, kill the strong ones first, and then hunt down the weak ones.
When those mid-stage grandmasters of Hehuan Valley who had already been frightened faced the courtesan who was charging towards them aggressively, they were so frightened that they couldn't even use their spiritual skills properly.
Different from those female cultivators in Yao Chi who looked like they were only in the middle stage of Grandmaster level, the courtesan who rushed over this time exuded the aura of a complete late stage Grandmaster!
Moreover, he is a late-stage Grandmaster with a very solid cultivation base, which is not comparable to the fake ones in Hehuan Valley.
After just a few moves, the courtesan found a flaw and swung out with one palm, shattering the opponent's protective spiritual energy. The power of this palm did not decrease as it hit the grandmaster of Hehuan Valley directly on the chest.
Crack... accompanied by a crisp sound of bone breaking, the courtesan's palm actually sank directly into the opponent's chest. After encountering such a blow, the mid-stage grandmaster of Hehuan Valley immediately vomited a large amount of blood and fell from mid-air.
The courtesan didn't even look at the fallen master, she casually sent out a stream of spiritual energy to finish him off, and then chased after another target.
Not long after, a similar scene appeared again. The courtesan eliminated the only remaining mid-stage Hehuan Valley master, and looked at the early-stage grandmasters who had already run away, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
It’s a pity that I can’t catch up with these guys.
If they chase further, they will reach the palace area, where there are five late-stage grandmasters from the Hehuan Valley. The strongest among them can even touch the edge of the Venerable realm.
If it was a one-on-one fight, the oiran would not be afraid of any of these people, but facing many people alone was still quite stressful for her.
It would be great if I had teammates. With a few more helpers who could share the pressure, the Oiran would have the confidence to completely destroy Hehuan Valley's plan!
But Yao Chi's move just now should have been just to rescue themselves, and it is unlikely that she would directly attack the Hehuan Valley Demon Sect in the palace...
Ok?
No, why didn’t the people from Yao Chi look back, but instead rushed straight to the palace?
Could it be that they were going to go directly to the palace and eliminate the monks from the Hehuan Valley inside? But based on their strength, they seemed no match for those people from the Hehuan Valley, right?
Swish swish!
The masters of Yao Chi flew through the air and passed directly over the oiran who was doubting her life.
They also saw the actions of the courtesan chasing the master of Hehuan Valley just now. In their eyes, this behavior can be equated with comrades. Anyway, they are not enemies at the moment, so they will deal with Hehuan Valley first and then deal with other things.
"You are the courtesan that Ye Qiuhan was talking about, right?"
The oiran looked back and saw a white-haired girl standing behind her on a flying sword, looking at her with curiosity.
"Qian Lin from Yao Chi?" The oiran immediately recognized who this girl was. Yao Chi had white hair and blue eyes, so there was only one possibility.
Qian Lin's expression didn't change much when she was recognized. Given her current fame, it would be strange if the courtesan didn't recognize her.
"Yes, it's me. I really troubled you to take care of my senior sister a few days ago."
The tone didn't sound like thanks at all. The courtesan showed an embarrassed expression. She also knew that what she did was indeed a bit unkind, but in order to bring Yao Chi into the game, that method was the simplest and quickest.
And the current situation is so good, her kidnapping also played an indispensable role, right?
"Miss Qian, you are joking. I am just doing my part."
"Your power is not weak at all, but now is not the time to talk about this." Qian Lin pointed at the palace in the distance, which seemed to be bustling, and invited the courtesan to form a team. "Ye Qiuhan said that you have a grudge against Hehuan Valley. It just so happens that we also have a grudge against Hehuan Valley now."
"Our current combat power is somewhat insufficient, and you should also need some reliable comrades, so why not cooperate with us temporarily?"
Qian Lin extended her hand toward the oiran.
The oiran reached out and held Qian Lin's hand without even thinking.
Her lifelong goal was to destroy Hehuan Valley's plan and completely destroy it, and she had taken great advantage of Qian Lin's proposal.
She had intended to attack Hehuan Valley in the first place, and now she was joining Yao Chi in attacking Hehuan Valley. No matter how you looked at it, she was not the one who would suffer a loss.
"Then, happy working together."
"It's a pleasure working with you. What's your plan? Are you going to just kill all the masters of Hehuan Valley?" The courtesan let go of Qian Lin's hand and asked.
"We are not that naive. There have been no losses among the late-stage grandmasters of Hehuan Valley. These people are not easy to deal with. Our current plan is to rush into the palace and rescue the emperor from his bedroom. As long as the emperor is in our hands, Hehuan Valley will have no way to cause chaos in the imperial capital!" Qian Lin told the oiran the plan that they had just discussed temporarily.
Hehuan Valley only controls the high-ranking officials of the Canglong Empire, but these people can only be effective after the emperor's death. If the emperor is still alive, they do not have the ability to instigate civil unrest in the entire city.
"I have had the bodies of the princes hung at the gate of the garrison. There is solid evidence that the princes colluded with the devil, and the news that they have been executed has spread. Without someone to serve, the princes' personal guards are unlikely to cause chaos."
Wait, didn’t you capture the princes at almost noon? The courtesan gasped, it’s only been half a day and those living princes have already turned into corpses?
The courtesan looked up at the sky. The bright moon had just risen to about half its height in the sky. It was still the early night.
From capturing the prince to executing him, it only took Yao Chi half a day, at most.
Is this still the Yao Chi who seems to be able to bully and kick anyone on weekdays? Why do I feel like all of you have been possessed by the Sword Sect's people?
"So decisive?" The courtesan couldn't help but complain.
"If we are not decisive now, we will never have the chance to be decisive again. Besides, our team leader this time is Senior Sister Gu Xue, and she has always had this kind of temper." Qian Lin has also learned to be smart. He did not mention his role in this matter at all, and directly stated that all this was the credit of Senior Sister Gu.
It was Senior Sister Gu who killed the man, and all the credit goes to Senior Sister Gu. I, Qian Lin, am just a small fry who did my little bit of work. You don't need to pay attention to me.
Senior Sister Gu Xue... If it was her, it wouldn't be so strange. The courtesan would naturally know Gu Xue, the famous swordsman... Bah, Yao Chi disciple!
Under her leadership, it is not impossible for these Yao Chi disciples, who are usually extremely weak, to burst out with such terrifying potential.
"I see. Oh, there's a fight going on over there. I'll go over and help!"
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the outskirts of the palace and saw the masters of the two forces fighting each other in close combat. Although the masters of Yao Chi were fewer in number, they showed no fear at all. Instead, they fought more and more courageously under the leadership of Gu Xue. The masters of Hehuan Valley who were guarding the outskirts of the palace actually seemed unable to resist.
The situation was only slightly eased after the arrival of Yue Sheng and others, the real masters of Hehuan Valley.
As the strongest master of Hehuan Valley in the Canglong Imperial Capital, Yue Sheng immediately found Gu Xue upon his arrival, and the two fought directly into the sky, away from the main battlefield.
It was similar to Yao Chi's breakout just now, but this time Gu Xue was not so at ease. Yue Sheng was not comparable to those four counterfeit mid-stage grandmasters. This late-stage grandmaster was extremely powerful. Even in a one-on-one battle, Gu Xue had already felt a lot of pressure.
"There are still experts like you in Hehuan Valley. It seems that our information is a bit outdated."
"Gu Xue, if you were hiding in that turtle shell, I could still pretend you didn't exist, but now that you're in front of me, don't blame me for being too ruthless!"
Both of them were practical people who believed that action was better than words. After they met, there was no nonsense. After a few sarcastic remarks to each other, they immediately started a fierce fight.
But judging from the looks of the two men, the outcome of this battlefield may not be determined in a short time.
Gu Xue was dragged away by Yue Sheng, and several late-stage masters of Hehuan Valley also came out in full force to join the attack on Yao Chi. In an instant, the offense and defense of both sides were reversed, and the masters of Yao Chi had to switch from defense to offense and fell into a disadvantage.
But just a moment later, the oiran lady in the late Grandmaster realm arrived at the battlefield. She did not join the main battlefield of the Grandmaster melee, but directly picked a late Grandmaster from Hehuan Valley who she liked and pounced on him.
"Who are you?" The master chosen by the oiran quickly used his spiritual power to fight against the oiran, but he was not as strong as Yue Sheng. As soon as they started fighting, he was beaten back by the oiran.
As a last resort, he could only call upon another late-stage Grandmaster to help him. Together, the two of them were able to resist the attack of the courtesan.
But after the two pillars of the battlefield were dragged away from the battlefield in the late stage, the power comparison on the main battlefield of the melee suddenly became balanced. Both sides did not have much to do to the other side and could only harass each other by throwing spiritual skills from a distance.
The people of Hehuan Valley were naturally happy about this. Although a long-distance war of attrition might look grand, it was actually much less dangerous.
But why are the people from Yao Chi also wasting time with Hehuan Valley?
The answer is naturally because the front battlefield of Yao Chi is attracting the attention of Hehuan Valley for a certain Miss Qian.
After the two sides started fighting in the sky, Qian Lin found an opportunity to sneak into the palace and walked out of the bedroom with ease.
Anyone who saw her on the road was knocked unconscious by her slap. If she met a powerful monk from the Hehuan Valley, she would kill him with a sword. Until she reached the old emperor's bedroom, no one noticed her sneaking in.
Perfect, isn't it?
The large formation guarding the bedroom was still running. Qian Lin did not hesitate and directly took out the almost used Falling Star Arrow from the storage bag and activated it.
When she entered the bedroom in the morning, she explored the protective formation briefly and was quite pleased with the result.
With the normal output capacity of the Falling Star Arrow, it is definitely enough to destroy this large formation with one arrow.
"Huh... Your Majesty, you still have to write the imperial edict yourself!"
Qian Lin, who was a half-step master, released the Falling Star Arrow at an extremely fast speed. From the time she took out the Falling Star Arrow to the time she finished charging the arrow, the monks arranged by Hehuan Valley in the bedroom realized that something was wrong and wanted to come out to stop it.
But it's too late!
The Falling Star Arrow flew out of the bow, and in the next moment it hit the palace's protective formation hard.
boom!
An ice-blue mushroom cloud rose up, attracting everyone's attention.
"Not good!" Yue Sheng immediately realized Yao Chi's thoughts. She immediately wanted to go back to the bedroom to rescue. She must not let Emperor Canglong fall into Yao Chi's hands!
"Don't even think about leaving!" Seeing the mushroom cloud rising, Gu Xue knew that Qian Lin was already attacking the palace's protective formation. At this time, Yue Sheng could not be allowed to go back.
Yue Sheng felt angry, but facing Gu Xue's sticky entanglement, she had no way out. Although she could suppress Gu Xue, it was not difficult for Gu Xue to delay her and not let her return for help.
Fighting and retreating wouldn't be a problem, but by the time she slowly retreated back to her bedroom, the emperor would have probably been taken away!
Damn!
Yue Sheng wanted to return for help, and so did the other masters. However, unlike Yue Sheng who was in a slightly advantageous situation, they did not have the energy to do so.
The situation here is basically fifty-fifty. They want to retreat back to support the palace. How could the people of Yao Chi let them go?
Looking at those pairs of eyes filled with fighting spirit, the masters of Hehuan Valley discussed it and finally decided to let two masters return to the palace to provide support in the early stage.
Drawing a Grandmaster in the mid-game will cause the front battlefield to collapse directly, and you can only send the Grandmaster who is of little use in the early stage back.
Almost all the famous masters of Yao Chi in the imperial capital are here. The one in the sleeping palace is at most a slightly stronger half-step master. Can they really turn the tables when they meet two genuine masters of Hehuan Valley?
Everyone in Hehuan Valley is very confident.
248. Proficiency
boom!
An arrow fell, and the formation guarding the bedroom was instantly broken. Qian Lin seized the opportunity and rushed straight into the bedroom.
“Stop!” The cultivator from Hehuan Valley who had not reacted in time to stop Qian Lin from destroying the formation finally came back online and began to stop Qian Lin’s actions.
But now that all the masters had gone to meet the enemy, the monks from the Hehuan Valley in the palace could not withstand Qian Lin's sudden attack at all. Several hot-blooded monks in the Body Tempering Realm who rushed up to stop him were all killed by Qian Lin's sword after just one encounter.
Qian Lin's movements were so smooth that she didn't delay her attack rhythm even when she was chopping people. Those people in the Body Tempering Realm who were eager to die didn't slow her down even for a moment.
"It's you! Qian Lin!" A half-step master from Hehuan Valley recognized Qian Lin. She shouted and rushed towards Qian Lin.
