Li Xiuniang had been secretly listening to the sounds outside the secret chamber until she heard the sound of weapons clashing. She immediately sensed that something was wrong and ran out through the secret passageway. She decided to leave first.

As a result, when everyone searched the stone room, it was already empty.

Mu Xiaoling didn't expect that they would be able to catch all of them. It was fine as long as Princess Qian Yang didn't die today. However, it was a pity that all of them took the poison and committed suicide. Not a single one was left alive.

However, this was the first time in Meng Yifan's life that he had been taken advantage of by someone in such a big way, and he felt extremely unbalanced in his heart. Seeing that he could not catch him, he was so angry that he smashed a vase to pieces.

"Calm down. After all, this time, we have gotten the upper hand." Mu Xiaoling patted his shoulder, trying not to smile as she comforted him. She knew that today would not be peaceful, so she brought all the food and water the soldiers were eating. After feigning unconsciousness, she managed to confuse him.

Meng Yifan looked at her resentfully. "Lady Mu, why do I feel that you're so happy now that I've lost my innocence?"

"In the future, just call me Big Sister. Today will be the last day in Yan Country, and tomorrow will be a completely different day when I enter China. I don't know if it's good or bad, so I still need to rest well and recuperate."

Meng Yifan also knew that this time, he could only admit defeat and reluctantly nodded, "I understand, sister."

Mu Xiaoling patted Meng Yifan's shoulder in relief and returned to her room first.

It was still raining heavily outside. Mu Xiaoling opened the window to listen to the sound of the rain and smell the fragrance of the earth. For a moment, he felt an unprecedented calmness in his heart.

However, this moment of silence was extremely hard to come by.

I wonder what Xiao Yu went to do, is it related to Mo Mei Xuan …

Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh. Why did he think of Xiao Yu again? It seemed that he was too idle. She sat cross-legged on the bed, inhaled deeply and focused her mind, then began channeling the [Skydark Mantra].

Even now, she still wasn't sure about the innermost meaning of the [Skydark Mantra]. Every time she cultivated, she would merge with the world and everything within a five kilometer radius would appear in her mind.

For example, a young man and woman were three miles away, sheltering from the rain under the eaves of a run-down temple, two children were playing in a farmhouse five miles away, and three men in red were walking through the rain nine miles away.

Red dress?

Upon closer inspection, Mu Xiaoling noticed that the red clothes worn by the three men were quite similar to the ones worn by Lie Qing.

Was it a coincidence, or did the Lie family come down again?

Those three people had different appearances, and one of them had a big mouth as he muttered: "Big brother, do you think little miss has really met with an accident?"

The man who answered was as tall as a bamboo pole, and his face was thin and long, "The head of the family had once left a trace of his vital energy in Miss Qing's jade tablet when she descended. Naturally, if there isn't anything wrong with his true energy, it would be fine, but not long ago, this bit of innate true energy dispersed by itself.

Another short and fat person, whose face was covered in oil, snorted in disdain: "I am quite curious, the people in this lower realm are all like ants, who dares to hurt our Miss Lie?"

When Mu Xiaoling heard these words, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. So it turned out to be someone from the Lie Clan. But, that's fine. She would kill a few of them.

The slim man suddenly raised his head towards the sky and shouted, "Who is it?!"

A powerful force that was like a raging fire shot into the sky and accurately collided with Mu Xiaoling's consciousness. However, the power did not stop there.

"Haha, big brother, aren't you being too careful and hallucinating?" The short and stout man laughed out loud, "It's just a mere lower realm, how could there be such a powerful person? Big brother, you must be thinking too much."

"Strange …" The slim man muttered to himself. He did feel that someone was watching him, but why was there nothing?

Mu Xiaoling was startled as well. She thought that she would be injured if she was hit. However, the [Skydark Mantra] was strange as well. It was as if her soul was hit in the air and she wasn't hurt at all.

Looking again at the direction of the three people from the Lie Clan, he was afraid that they would pass by this inn very soon. Although she didn't personally kill Lie Qing, Xiao Yu had killed her because of her. Moreover, the commotion that night was not small, so it was only a matter of time before the people from the Lie Clan would come looking for her.

Mu Xiaoling thought for a while before she heard a loud noise coming from downstairs. She couldn't help but frown. When she walked down the stairs, she saw the three people who were just nine miles away appear in the inn.

Meng Yifan happened to be downstairs drinking his wine. Suddenly, three people appeared out of nowhere in the originally quiet lobby. He was startled, "Who are you?"

The stout man snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you think you're qualified to know who we are?"

Some of the soldiers who heard this immediately became gloomy, "How can you say that!"

"Misunderstanding." The man with the square mouth stood up and laughed as he pointed at the thin man and introduced him, "We are the third brother. The tallest one here is our big brother, Li Mingxin." He pointed to the chunky man and said, "This is our third brother, his name is Lie Mingyun." He then pointed to himself, "We are on our way down. We are called Lie Ming Li. We just arrived and coincidentally happened to be in the middle of a heavy rain. It's really inconvenient to travel. I hope everyone can help."

Meng Yifan was too lazy to pay any attention to them. "It's not convenient …"

"Yifan." Mu Xiaoling interrupted him, "Please give these three people two rooms."

Meng Yifan curled his lips and nodded reluctantly, leaving two rooms open. He got up and was about to head back to his room.

At this moment, Lie Mingyun's finger moved. He threw out a copper coin towards Meng Yifan's back.

If he had hit it, any more force might have injured his dantian.

Mu Xiaoling secretly triggered the Martial Arts Competition and borrowed a bit of Gu Xiu Hu's primeval essence to pour into the copper coin before shooting out.

With a ding sound, the two bronze coins collided and flew off in two different directions, deeply embedded into the wall.

Meng Yifan instantly went back to his senses and turned to glare at the other three.

The three from the Lie Clan were also shocked by this move. One must know that their third brother was most adept with this hidden weapon, but now he was sent flying so easily. How could his power be only at the Martial Disciple level or at least above Martial Spirit?

After all, they were still hiding their cultivation levels, because the lower realms could only allow Martial Spirits to exist. If they were to surpass that cultivation level and had no secret technique to hide themselves, they would definitely be kicked out of this world.

The three brothers also hid their rank as Martial Masters.
