Following Zhang Jing's order, the signal detonator outside the mountain slowly rose up.

On a distant mountain, a man holding a black feathered fan and wearing a dark purple flowery robe was smiling as he looked at the scene outside the mountain. "Tonight is quite interesting.

A black clothed man came to the side of the person holding the black feathered fan: "Master, all the gold in the warehouse of the main hall has been moved out of the main hall."

Zhu Mingyi has a lot of doubts. Other than this place, there's also a place I need to look. I'll go in and see if I can find any clues. The person holding the black feather fan said. Then, he had already disappeared. No one could clearly see how he moved.

Within the 18 villages.

Shui Qingyan and Bao Ningcheng stood back to back as they looked at the three layers and three levels of Da Yun. One of them was protecting the corpse in their embrace, and the other was protecting the medicine chest beside their hands.

Assistant Minister Ma walked over from the crowd with a dark expression: "Fourth Miss, why are you not giving up and giving up!"

Shui Qingyan laughed: "Minister, you don't have to say it, the little old man is not some Fourth Miss!"

"Humph!" Assistant Minister Ma snorted, "You refused a toast and refused a forfeit!"

Only three silver needles remained in Shui Qingyan's sleeves. She said to Bao Ningcheng who was behind him: "I'll cover you, you retreat first."

Bao Ningcheng did not utter a word, looking at the people around him, his eyes looked like a wild beast whose life had been threatened.

"There are people who don't want me to die. As long as you escape, I will definitely survive." Shui Qingyan could always feel Bao Ningcheng's frailty from his breathing.

Bao Ningcheng's Shun Zi loosened for a moment.

"If you don't leave, I might be unable to leave just because I saved you." Shui Qingyan laughed, "Don't forget, I have your son by my side. I can't go out, and he can't go out either."

Bao Ningcheng squeezed out a syllable from his throat, "Thank you."

Shui Qingyan didn't say a word, and only faintly smiled.

Assistant Minister Ma's eyes were filled with blood light. He raised his hand, looked at Shui Qingyan, and shouted: "Kill, do not, fight!"

"Kill!" In that moment, the big blade and long spear rushed towards Shui Qingyan and.

Three silver needles flew out from Shui Qingyan's hand, and instantly pierced the center of the enemy's eyebrows. The three of them fell: "Starting from here, let's go!"

Bao Ningcheng's leg swept up a spear, one move was enough to sweep away thousands of enemies, in a blink of an eye, a dozen of people had their throats cut, and were on the ground bleeding profusely.

Shui Qingyan saw that the direction of Bao Ning's escape was filled with people. She raised her right hand and said, "Ning!" Instantly, a plate-sized chunk of ice took shape.

"Bao Ningcheng, fly out by borrowing the force!" When Shui Qingyan finished speaking, the ice plate in her hand also flew out in the direction Bao Ningcheng had escaped from.

Without saying a word, Bao Ningcheng jumped up. Immediately, the pike moved towards Bao Ningcheng and pierced forward.

The daggers in Shui Qingyan's hands flew out, and those who held onto the pikes, were instantly cut in the throats by the daggers that flew towards Bao Ningcheng, and died on the spot.

Seeing Shui Qingyan's vigorous movements, Assistant Minister Ma frowned and stretched out his hand: "Bow!"

Immediately, someone passed a bow and arrow to Assistant Minister Ma.

On the other side, the dagger flew back into Shui Qingyan's hand. Bao Ningcheng also used the power of the ice plate to step on it and flew out of the encirclement.

Bao Ningcheng looked at Shui Qingyan who was inside the encirclement, and ran up the mountain without looking back. He wanted to settle the person in his arms, then come back to save Shui Qingyan.

When Shui Qingyan held onto the dagger, another group of people immediately attacked Shui Qingyan.

Outside the arena, the Assistant Minister Ma's bow was aimed at Shui Qingyan's back.

Shui Qingyan could sense the danger that came from the Assistant Minister Ma. She touched the medicine case beside him and coldly smiled: "Little guy, you have to be stronger. You might feel a little cold later on."

"Whiz!"

The arrow that broke through the wind was aimed at the center of Shui Qingyan's back.

Bao Ningcheng, who had just reached the mountain, suddenly turned his head and looked straight at the surrounded Shui Qingyan at the bottom of the mountain.

"Power of ice!" Shui Qingyan stretched out his right hand towards the direction of the Assistant Minister Ma, and in an instant, a ice rod the size of a bowl appeared in Shui Qingyan's right hand, pointed straight at the arrow.

Everyone was stupefied. They had never seen such a situation before.

The ice arrows collided with each other, and the endless inertia from the arrows pulverized the ice into powder.

However, as the ice shattered, the impact of the arrow slowly subsided.

Seeing the ice stick in Shui Qingyan's hand becoming shorter, Bao Ningcheng suddenly ran down the mountain.

Sou! The arrow pierced Shui Qingyan's thumb and flew out from her ear.

Bao Ningcheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. He should have believed in Shui Qingyan!

Shui Qingyan smiled slowly in the direction of the Assistant Minister Ma.

Assistant Minister Ma's arrow did not succeed, and he was furious: "Set up the arrow formation!"

Shui Qingyan sneered: "I'm afraid there's no more chances."

Finished speaking, the blood on Shui Qingyan's finger was passed to the ground.

The shards of ice on the ground turned red.

Ah!" Bowen's eyes widened.

"Power of Ice – Soul Extinguishing Formation!" As Shui Qingyan's words fell, the blood-red ice shards suddenly turned into countless ice swords, mercilessly piercing through the hearts of the people surrounding Shui Qingyan.

However, even though this move was ruthless, it consumed a large amount of Shui Qingyan's power of mind. Immediately, a trickle of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of Shui Qingyan's mouth.

Looking at the bloodstain on the corner of Shui Qingyan's mouth, then looking at the slowly dimming red ice sword, the look in Assistant Minister Ma's eyes became fiery, "Hahaha, Fourth Miss, if the Emperor finds out that there is a person in my Da Yun who specializes in secret arts, he will definitely reward me well!"

Shui Qingyan was unable to continue the formation. She quickly withdrew his sword formation, then jumped back and took a big step. She took out the dagger in her hand, and opened up a path of blood towards the mountain road.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Assistant Minister Ma shouted, and three arrows shot out from his hands.

Although Shui Qingyan was not injured, the rope in the medicine box had been broken by the arrow.

On the mountain, Bao Ningcheng tensed up.

Shui Qingyan immediately held the medicine box in her arms.

"Eat my claw!" At the same time, an iron claw flew out from Assistant Minister Ma's hand.

Shui Qingyan bit onto the root, and with a slight turn of her body, she dodged the iron claw's heavy attack.

With a ripping sound, as Shui Qingyan broke through the encirclement, her clothes were torn from her shoulders to her waist.

Looking at the three bloody whip wounds on Shui Qingyan's back, everyone was shocked.

So, what Assistant Minister Ma said was true, this person was really the Fourth Miss!

Assistant Minister Ma saw the wound on Shui Qingyan's back and immediately laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Fourth Miss, other than you, no one else in the world has the whip wound bestowed upon their back by the Emperor. Today, after overturning the eighteen strongholds, I will capture you and bring you back to offer to the Emperor!"

In the distance, a man dressed in a dark purple cloud pattern clothing with rich clothes and black feathers looked at Shui Qingyan's figure. The corner of his mouth slowly raised into a light smile: "I never thought that there would be such a harvest today."

Halfway up the mountain, Bao Ningcheng gave Shui Qingyan a coat that was full of blood and torn to shreds.

Shui Qingyan took the jacket, and draped it over her shoulders without a care. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Bao Ningcheng looked at Shui Qingyan, both of his eyes shining with tears.

"Don't think about boasting. Take me to the mountain first. You should be more familiar with this place than them." Shui Qingyan pointed to the soldiers who had caught up, "Assistant Minister Ma is already crazy, I'm afraid he has already forgotten the purpose of his visit."

Bao Ningcheng looked at Shui Qingyan, then nodded and took the lead to walk ahead: "Follow me."

Shui Qingyan followed closely behind.

After a while, Shui Qingyan could no longer feel the pursuers behind him.

Shui Qingyan stopped and looked at Bao Ningcheng: "Do you know what her real name is?"

Bao Ningcheng nodded.

"Where is she?"

Bao Ningcheng shook his head.

"Whatever, we'll discuss this later. What do you plan to do with her now?" Shui Qingyan's lips slightly paled.

Bao Ningcheng looked at Shui Qingyan and spoke: "We will build the tombstone."

Shui Qingyan continued: "This is not a good place to talk. In order to prevent a pot of food from getting thrown, we will split up."

Bao Ningcheng did not speak, he only looked at Shui Qingyan quietly.

Shui Qingyan looked at Bao Ningcheng, who had suddenly turned from a lively and dumb guy to a person whose entire body was filled with a silent atmosphere that didn't allow others to enter, and pursed her lips.

Shui Qingyan said: "I have seen the map of the Eighteen Stronghold. There are a few small paths that no one knows of, I can leave from the right and you from the left. Once you're out of Broken Mountain, go to the coffin shop near the west gate of the capital and tell the owner that I, Shui Qingyan, will bear all the costs. "

Bao Ningcheng heard Shui Qingyan personally confirm her identity, and her eyes shone like a beast in the dark.

All of a sudden, Bao Ningcheng bent his legs. "Fourth Miss, please protect this child. As he said that, he kowtowed to Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan turned her body and pinched her throat, then spat out a medicinal pill. Throwing the pill to the side, Shui Qingyan said slowly, "I'll give you ten days to get yourself together. After ten days, come find me in the capital."

Hearing that Shui Qingyan had recovered her voice, Bao Ningcheng stood up, looked deeply at Shui Qingyan for a moment, and then looked deeply into the medicine chest.

After Shui Qingyan heard the sound of Bao Ningcheng's footsteps getting further away, she firmly carried the medicine box in her arms, closed her eyes and used her tired mind to build the meridians.

After a while, Shui Qingyan slowly opened her eyes, which were deep and serene.

Shui Qingyan looked ahead: "Have you seen enough!"
