Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Chongliang couldn’t care about his own safety and reached out to grab Gu Qingluan’s arm.

But before he could touch Gu Qingluan, a scorching gaze met his eyes, causing his hand to involuntarily retract.

Without Song Chongliang needing to say anything, Gu Qingluan had already noticed the situation below the city tower.

Li Tianhao was currently having a blade held to his neck.

Gu Qingluan spotted a mysterious figure among the enemy forces, cloaked and clearly not lacking in strength, likely the Saint that Song Chongliang had mentioned.

Her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

That cloak looked so familiar.

She cast a sidelong glance at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan subtly nodded in response.

Indeed, these were the same cloaked individuals who had tried to assassinate Feng Tianlan that night at the Shadow Tower.

Since then, Gu Qingluan hadn’t had the chance to investigate their origins, and now they were somehow associated with the Dingbei Army.

She wondered about the nature of their relationship.

Looking around, there was only one Saint.

Gu Qingluan then said to Feng Tianlan, “To prevent revealing your presence to them, you shouldn’t get involved.”

Feng Tianlan gazed at her with deep, mysterious eyes. “Are you concerned about me?”

Gu Qingluan smirked, her lips curling slightly. “Who’s concerned about you? Don’t flatter yourself!”

With that, she descended directly from the city tower.

The people on the tower were in shock, never expecting her to fly down like that.

Feng Tianlan’s unfathomable gaze remained fixed on her.

The Dingbei Army was equally astonished to see someone descending from the city tower.

“Who is that?”

“Doesn’t she care about her own life? Daring to leave the city like this!”

“It’s Gu Qingluan!”

“So, she’s Gu Qingluan?”

Xiao Jingye, upon hearing Chen Chong’s words, raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Qingluan with newfound interest. He gave a sly smile and said, “This woman is quite bold, daring to charge at us. Does she think we won’t kill her?”

Chen Chong clenched his fist in anger. “Gu Qingluan killed Duke Dingbei. We must kill her to avenge Duke Dingbei!”

Xiao Jingye’s eyes gleamed briefly, and he glanced at Yin Qing. “Saint Yin Qing, in a battle between you and her, who would come out on top?”

Yin Qing frowned. “I will only know after I’ve fought.”

The face hidden beneath the hood was shadowed, making it difficult to read.

Xiao Jingye said, “We’ll have a chance to see what she’s capable of later. For now, we have a hostage. I want to see how she reacts.”

As Gu Qingluan ventured into the midst of the enemy forces, the Dingbei Army, recognizing her as the one who killed Duke Dingbei, glared at her in anger.

If it weren’t for their orders to refrain from acting without command, they would have attacked her without hesitation.

Xiao Jingye assumed Gu Qingluan had come to negotiate, but she charged straight towards him. As he felt the sharp gust of wind brushing against him, his expression changed, and he immediately called for Yin Qing to block Gu Qingluan.

Yin Qing, who had been disregarded, wore a serious expression. He quickly maneuvered behind Gu Qingluan and unleashed a powerful arcane palm strike towards her from behind.

Gu Qingluan seemed to have eyes on the back of her head as she leaned slightly to avoid the attack in the most effortless manner possible.

Then, she counterattacked with a swift strike.

Yin Qing retreated in astonishment.

Gu Qingluan immediately pursued Xiao Jingye.

However, after the scare from earlier, Xiao Jingye wasn’t going to stand still and let her catch him.

He had many soldiers stand in front of him, while he positioned himself behind them, leaving Yin Qing to take Li Tianhao as a hostage.

Yin Qing immediately understood and turned to face Li Tianhao. “Stop! Or I’ll kill him!”

However, Gu Qingluan seemed as though she hadn’t heard his threat. She leaped over numerous soldiers with a clear and precise target—Xiao Jingye!

Her movements were as swift as lightning, and the other soldiers couldn’t stop her at all.

In the blink of an eye, she was standing in front of Xiao Jingye.

Xiao Jingye hastily threw several talisman papers at her.

Various attacks like fierce winds, lightning, and fireballs assaulted Gu Qingluan chaotically.

However, before they could even approach her, Gu Qingluan effortlessly waved her hand and extinguished them.

Xiao Jingye broke into a cold sweat.

This woman was too formidable!

No wonder Duke Dingbei met such a grim end at her hands!

He regretted personally getting involved and entangling himself with this jinx of a woman.

However, it was too late for regrets.

As Xiao Jingye dodged and strategized, he realized that he had no leverage against Gu Qingluan.

This crazy woman seemed completely unconcerned about Li Tianhao’s fate. Without a hostage, what could he use to threaten her?

Suddenly, Xiao Jingye’s eyes lit up.

He had an idea!
