Chapter 71: Night Visit to the Monarch's Mansion (3)

"I respect Master's talent and also respect Master's integrity, so I will not show mercy under the sword." Huang Fei raised his hand and sent the sword, "If you can save your life under my Zhuri Sword within ten moves, I will pardon you for your crimes and return your freedom." When he returned his hand, the Zhuri Sword left its sheath with a clang, and sword light shot out in an instant, "Otherwise, this sword is the last sword you cast."

A tyrannical sword energy deterred the whole field invisibly. Everyone present couldn't help but feel like they were on a dangerous cliff or facing a dangerous peak. Su Ying, who bore the brunt, had to cross his sword on his chest to resist this terrifying pressure. The furnace fire seemed to be stimulated by the sword energy, suddenly jumping up with flames half a person high, casting bright light and shadows on the confrontational people. The Shao Yuan Jun's unparalleled handsome appearance made everyone hold their breath at this moment.

In this world, I am afraid that few people can directly touch the edge of the Zhuri Sword. Qie Lan knew that Su Ying was by no means Huang Fei's opponent, but the learning in his chest was enough to rival the Chu State with the "Secret Record of Ye Zi", so she couldn't help but lock her eyebrows, thinking that no matter what, she must find a way to save his life.

The Liefeng Cavalry guards immediately separated the unrelated people beside them and cleared a large area. Ye Xuanshang and Yan Ling had to bite the bullet and step forward to help, avoiding being seen as inappropriate. The awe-inspiring sword energy constantly became clear with the approach of footsteps. As if sensing this invisible threat, the Guili Sword that had been hanging on Ye Xuanshang's waist suddenly made an unusual light sound. At the same time, the murderous aura of the Zhuri Sword in Huang Fei's hand soared!

The subtle movement of the machine was like the surging waves before the tsunami, instantly sweeping the mind. Ye Xuanshang's face changed slightly, and he shouted, "Go!" Before the words fell, the sword light left the sheath, like a long dragon, meeting the Zhuri Sword shooting like electricity in mid-air!

"Clang!"

The two swords screamed, dazzling like the sun, and a piece of flames scattered like flower rain, throwing toward the surroundings!

The sword light flashed with scorching light in Huang Fei's eyes, and there were even sporadic accidents mixed in, as if he didn't expect someone to be able to block the full blow of the Zhuri Sword.

Ye Xuanshang's arm was also shocked and numb. He thought it was bad. He knew that once he was entangled by Huang Fei, he would have no chance to get out. He retreated rapidly with the force, grabbed Yan Ling's collar, and threw himself toward the exit of the secret passage like a meteor.

A clear shout, Qie Lan, who was closer to the secret passage, drew her sword, but it was only a line away, missing the two. A sword missed, and she watched the figure of the two disappear into the deep secret passage that led in all directions, "They entered the Wanxiang Digong!"

Huang Fei sneered: "Order to search with all your might, you must leave a living mouth, I want to see who is so bold!"

After sneaking into the secret passage, Ye Xuanshang and Yan Ling realized that it was completely different from the original road. This piece of underground secret passage was much more complex than they imagined. Roads were extended in all directions like spider webs, broken or connected, and they didn't know where they led. It was harder to find an exit in a short time. Yan Ling leaned on the ground to listen, and was shocked to find that footsteps were approaching rapidly from all directions, and couldn't help but curse secretly, "The Shao Yuan Jun Mansion's action is too fast. Except for our way back, there is only one road left without pursuers, go this way!"

The two turned into the left road and exerted their light work to move forward with all their might. Suddenly, Ye Xuanshang stopped his footsteps and reached out to stop Yan Ling, "No, how could Huang Fei have such an omission? Your reconnaissance technique is the only one that can't detect the enemy's movement here. If this place is not a dead end, it is Huang Fei deliberately leaving it for us to go, unless..." There was a sharp color in his deep eyes, "The action of the pursuers, you and I cannot detect."

"How is it possible?" Yan Ling whispered, "Except for Huang Fei, who can hide from our ears and eyes?"

Ye Xuanshang said: "There is one more person..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a light whistle. Two arrow lights shot from the darkness like electricity, bringing cold air and shooting toward them!

Yan Ling suddenly shouted, dodging sideways at an incredible speed, barely moving a few inches, the sharp arrow tip rubbed his face, making his skin sting. Light burst beside him, accompanied by a dull hiss, but Ye Xuanshang didn't have time to draw his sword, and blocked the flying arrow with the sword sheath. In his haste, he was forced to retreat half a step by the aggressive arrow momentum.

At the end of the secret passage, the faint light was transmitted. A woman stood with a bow, white clothes like clouds, snow blades like ice. Under the arrow tip, her clear and beautiful eyes were slightly raised, revealing the calmness tempered in the thousands of troops, like the intimidating arrow light, locking the two people from afar.

Ye Xuanshang sighed lightly, "You forgot there is one more person, the Shao Yuan Jun's fellow apprentice sister, the Queen of the Nine Yi, Qie Lan."

The sharp outline of the Yanfeng Bow, set against the beautiful hands like white jade, would be an art piece worth admiring if it were not in such a tense situation. However, at this time, the six-edged arrowheads carefully crafted in her hands could become deadly weapons at any time. Qie Lan held the bow and walked forward slowly, saying coldly: "Who are you, dare to sneak into the Shao Yuan Jun Mansion at night to spy on secrets, and don't hurry to capture!"

Ye Xuanshang frowned secretly. Unless it was a last resort, he was absolutely unwilling to hurt this Queen of the Nine Yi who was extremely important to both the Chu State and the Di Du. But the pursuers were approaching, unless they didn't want to leave the mansion alive tonight, they had to break through.

Turning to look at each other, Yan Ling also revealed the same information. The strange thin blade flashed, and Yan Ling's figure seemed to merge with the blade, sweeping toward the blocker first, so fast that it was almost indistinguishable. Qie Lan's eyes were sharp, and she shouted coldly: "Good courage!" A pair of Huangyu Arrows flew like electric light, not aimed at Yan Ling, but preemptively forcing Ye Xuanshang, who seemed harmless. At the same time, a light light appeared between her and Yan Ling, clouds and clothes came out of the cave, autumn water was clear and cold, and the Fuxuan Sword appeared from nowhere, and the sword edge pointed directly at the opponent's heart!

The sword energy had not yet arrived, and the coldness had already penetrated the heart. Yan Ling's offensive did not change in mid-air, and he slashed down with his knife! The two blades intersected, and a strange feeling came from the incomparable sensitive fingertips. Almost out of an instinct, Yan Ling somersaulted in the air. When the Fuxuan Sword cut off the thin blade and pointed at his chest, he suddenly swept out backward. With a soft sound, his clothes had been divided into two by the sharp sword energy, and a blood mark reached from his heart to his lower abdomen. If he was a moment slower, I am afraid he would have died under the sword.

Yan Ling was shocked, a mouthful of True Qi went wrong and fell to the ground. Before he could raise his head, the sword light came again. He was secretly calling my life to be finished, but there was a sword energy faster than the Fuxuan Sword, blocking Qie Lan's sword edge at this critical moment.

Clanging series of sounds, like gold and jade clashing, cold pool ice splashing, Ye Xuanshang arrived in time after blocking the Huangyu Arrow, and blocked Qie Lan's several swords in a row. The sword light cut through the darkness like water, suddenly illuminating the man's handsome outline, heroic eyebrows, and deep eyes like an abyss. Qie Lan blurted out in surprise: "Ye Xuanshang!"

The two passed by, Ye Xuanshang's sword tip pointed forward, and his essence was hidden and covered Qie Lan. At the coming-of-age ceremony the other day, the Mu State and the Nine Yi sat together. Qie Lan naturally recognized him as the Third Young Master. Tonight in the Shao Yuan Jun Mansion, once his identity was exposed, it would bring endless trouble, and might even involve the subtle situation between Chu, Mu, and the Di Du. He couldn't kill, and he couldn't avoid. How to deal with it in front of him was undoubtedly a big problem.

Yan Ling got this gap and caught his breath, flipped to Ye Xuanshang's side, swept across the surprised Qie Lan, turned to look at Ye Xuanshang, and asked him to decide. The rapid footsteps of the pursuers were already vaguely audible. Ye Xuanshang's hesitation was only for a moment, and then he said decisively: "Take her away!"

Unexpectedly, Qie Lan noticed the pursuers approaching and suddenly said: "Third Young Master, follow me!" She sheathed her sword and took the lead to sweep toward a fork in the road beside her. The two people behind were stunned, but there was no time to think about it. Ye Xuanshang signaled to Yan Ling, and the two followed into the fork. Qie Lan waited in front, and seeing them follow, she smiled slightly, "The Wanxiang Digong was built by the former Chu kings to guard against palace changes. There are ten thousand paths, each forming a maze. Don't break in at will, otherwise you won't be able to get out for three days and three nights, and you might encounter pursuers. Go this way."

The darkness was like ink, almost not seeing a trace of light, only a corner of white clothes fluttering gently in front, like an Udumbara flower blooming in the dark domain, appearing and disappearing, appearing and disappearing. The roads in the Wanxiang Digong were intricate and complex, built according to innate mathematics. Qie Lan took the two people left or right, followed the road, and constantly avoided pursuers from all sides. Sometimes they were narrowly missed by the Liefeng Cavalry guards who came to search, but they would never be discovered. As the sound of pursuers moved further and further away, she looked back and said: "Going out along this side is an exit closest to the lake of the Monarch's Mansion. The boats of the Nine Yi tribe are docked near the shore. I believe it is not difficult for the two of you to sneak onto the boat with your skills. The vigilance of the Shao Yuan Jun Mansion cannot be underestimated. Third Young Master, it is better not to risk leaving. Later, following my flagship out of the mansion will not be searched by anyone."

Ye Xuanshang was about to speak, but saw her press her finger on her lips. Through the silent darkness, the woman's calm gaze drifted into his eyes that were as deep as a deep lake, condensing into a piece of pure and crystal clear, "Left three, right seven, keep going forward, don't make a mistake. Just in case, don't disturb the guards on my boat." Qie Lan finished speaking and turned back. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, "Third Young Master, can I borrow your sword?"

Ye Xuanshang raised his eyes when he heard this. In the confrontation, the gaze was like substance, like the refraction of the sun's edge. After a moment, he suddenly smiled slightly and handed the sword that had never left his body forward. Qie Lan drew the sword from its sheath and praised softly: "Good sword!" Before the two could react, she turned her hand and brought the sword across her left arm. The sword edge was sharp, and a blood mark bloomed, quickly dyeing into a deep color on the white clothes.

Ye Xuanshang was slightly surprised. Qie Lan returned the sword to him and said: "Go!" Her figure flashed and disappeared into the deep darkness of the secret passage.
