"Master, I have arrived at the first stop. Wu Liuyin has returned to the main city of Fandu again," Wu Hailan said to the bronze mirror, looking like a completely different person, exuding an aura of death, her face expressionless.
"Yes, you must stop Wu Liuyin from going to the Trial Valley. Stay alert and don't get discovered." A face appeared in the bronze mirror, half of which was obscured by hair. The man was dressed in purple, exuding extravagance.
"Yes," Wu Hailan replied emotionlessly. She put away the bronze mirror, stuffed it back into her bag, and removed the barrier. After checking the doorway to make sure no one was there, she stepped out, turned around, closed the door, and walked towards the front yard.
Wu Bailing and the others were already eating; after traveling all morning, they were all quite hungry. Wu Hailan didn't join them; she found a corner to sit down by herself and ordered some food from the waiter.
Which one is the lark?
Suddenly a loud shout came from outside the door, followed by a group of people stepping over the threshold and walking in.
Upon seeing this, the boss rushed forward, but upon seeing the person, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Young Master Ming, you...you've come all this way!"
The shop owner looked to be over fifty years old, and his obese body trembled slightly with fear.
"Get out of the way, this is none of your business!" The leader, Ming Taishan, lived up to his name; he was a tall, burly man, all muscle. He was the son of the town's lord, Ming Tianlong, and had done his fair share of bad deeds in the town, making him a local tyrant. Ming Taishan spoke with a powerful voice that intimidated people. He pushed aside the shopkeeper who came forward, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he dared not say another word.
He can only blame his bad luck for running into Ming Taishan today.
The once noisy atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became quiet as Ming Taishan and his group entered, and everyone turned their attention to the menacing Ming Taishan.
Ming Taishan's gaze swept fiercely across every corner of the hall, finally settling on Wu Hailan in the corner. He paused for a moment before turning away.
"I am Wu Bailing. What business do you have with me?" Wu Bailing frowned as she looked at the newcomer, trying hard to recall who this person was. But she couldn't remember him at all. She stood up and looked directly at Ming Taishan. As always, Wu Bailing had an aloof expression. She glanced at Ming Taishan and couldn't help but sneer. Just a reckless, big-brained brute.
Ming Taishan raised an eyebrow and rushed forward in three steps. He was already short-tempered, and Wu Bailing's arrogant questioning caused his temper to flare up. Without saying a word, he slammed his hand on the table in front of Wu Bailing. With a loud 'bang,' the table shattered instantly, and the food and cups fell to the ground and broke.

The other dancers and guards scattered, and the tables and chairs were smashed to pieces, which broke the boss's heart!
The guards around Wu Bailing immediately went on high alert, all making a move to draw their weapons.
Wu Bailing raised her hand, indicating that they didn't need to insert the tube, and the guards then withdrew.
"I have no grudge against you, so why did you attack me and bring us to war?" Wu Bailing asked, frowning. She really couldn't remember who Ming Taishan was. Moreover, she went through everyone she knew in her mind, and regardless of whether she had a grudge against him or not, she had never met Ming Taishan.
"Who am I? I am Ming Taishan. Don't you remember me? Humph, a year ago I went to the Ming family in the main city for a visit and happened to see you with my cousin. But you called me a brute. Do you still remember that?" Ming Taishan asked angrily.
Wu Bailing recalled that it seemed to be true. Later, her friend Mingcan's cousin even competed with her, but lost. He returned with a resentful expression, vowing to humiliate Wu Bailing properly when they met again. That's why Wu Bailing thought of Ming Taishan.
Just as Ming Taishan was about to go out for another day of revelry, he suddenly heard his father say that he wanted to apply to the Ming family in the main city for permission to go and train. Unfortunately, there was no Trial Stone, and the Ming family had not given any reply. Upon hearing that the Wu family was involved, Ming Taishan became excited and hurriedly asked his useless father who the Wu family had sent to the Trial Valley for training, since the town was a necessary stop on the way to the Trial Valley. Later, Ming Tianlong told Ming Taishan everything. When he heard from the scouts that Wu Bailing had already settled down at an inn in the town, Ming Taishan rushed over in a rage.
"You're Mingcan's cousin?" Wu Bailing was incredulous. Back then, Ming Taishan was as weak as a little ant, the kind she could crush with a little force. She never expected that someone would still 'care about' her so much.
“That’s right, Wu Bailing. That Japanese young master said that he would definitely defeat you one day. Now is a great opportunity. As long as I defeat you and take the Trial Stone, I can go to the Trial Valley!” Ming Tailong looked at Wu Bailing with confidence, his arrogant gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.
He dared not look at Wu Hailan in the corner again.
"Compete with me? You're just a local tyrant from a tiny place. The Ming family is only the fifth of the seven great families. Who gave you the right to be so arrogant? Hmph, you dare to challenge me? You're overestimating yourself!" Wu Bailing sneered, gathering power in her palms as she leaped forward. The azure spiritual energy in her palms slowly condensed into a super-large ball of light, ready to be unleashed...
Ming Taishan roared, his veins bulging as if they were about to burst out of his skin, and his spiritual power radiated outwards.
The lark laughed. "It's just yellow, nothing like me."
The enormous ball of light hurtled towards Ming Taishan, who made no attempt to dodge and instead took the full force of Wu Bailing's attack.
His clothes were torn to shreds, all the previous innocence gone. Ming Taishan's body was chafed all over by spiritual energy, but he did not fall down.

This surprised Wu Bailing. A yellow-level spiritualist caught a move from a blue-level spiritualist. As expected of a brute, physical strength is an advantage.
He leaped forward and kicked Ming Taishan in the chest several times in succession.
Ming Taishan kept retreating, and the people around him also quickly moved aside. The two fought their way out of the house. The onlookers all followed them out.
The waiter also wanted to go over and see what was going on, but was scolded by the boss who had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Keep it here to watch the shop, let's clean it up."
The waiter changed direction, picked up the rag draped over his shoulder, and silently began cleaning.
The vendors on both sides of the road stopped what they were doing and watched the fight not far away.
What's going on today? One group just finished fighting, and another one comes... I have no heart to watch the fighting anymore. I'm used to this kind of thing. I quickly picked up the child and packed up the things to avoid being accidentally hurt.
Ming Taishan roared, and a powerful gust of air spread out, causing Wu Bailing to stagger back several steps. He immediately rushed forward and, before Wu Bailing could react, threw a heavy punch.
Wu Bailing did not dodge and took a solid punch from Ming Taishan.
One punch nearly made her vomit blood. After regaining her composure, Wu Bailing sized up Ming Taishan before her. Such low cultivation, so arrogant and domineering, so petty and vengeful. The Ming family could only produce such brutes. Wu Bailing had originally disdained to get entangled with Ming Taishan, intending to defeat him, so she hadn't used her full strength. But now, after taking a punch from Ming Taishan, she was truly enraged.
Anyone who harms her shall die!
He channeled his energy into both palms, and with a powerful step forward, he moved so fast that his figure was almost invisible. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ming Taishan, and his palm struck straight at the top of Ming Taishan's head.
Ming Taishan, unable to withstand the force, knelt on one knee, and several large cracks quickly appeared in the ground.
A collective gasp swept through the crowd; there were truly many formidable fighters today. The common people in the crowd secretly cheered as they watched the tyrant Taishan being humiliated.
With a final chop, Wu Bailing swept her hand across Ming Taishan's neck, splattering bright red blood all over her. Instantly, Ming Taishan's head fell to the ground, his body crashing heavily to the floor, causing everyone to shudder.
Everyone was surprised again. His hand transformed into a knife, sharp and not dull, terrifying like a demon. Today, Ming Taishan had walked right into a trap.
Ignoring the astonished crowd, Wu Bailing's somber figure weaved through them and entered the restaurant. The Wu family guards looked at her smugly; as expected of the young lady of the Wu family, her strength was extraordinary!
After everyone left, the guards who had been with Ming Taishan were also so frightened that they ran away in a panic.
In an instant, the streets were deserted, and the sky gradually darkened.

The setting sun cast its crimson glow across the land.
Standing before Ming Taishan's corpse, Wu Hailan silently scooped up a white cloth and covered it. She was determined to avenge Ming Taishan. At the same time, she also witnessed Wu Bailing's ruthlessness; she killed without batting an eye, and was no pushover in the future.
She cannot be allowed to live! Anyone who poses a threat to the master's position must be eliminated!
Inside the Trial Valley, Su Xijue scooped up some scraps of cloth, wiped the knife in his hand, and leaned wearily against a tree trunk.
He silently counted, the 1341st. This was the 1341st orc to die by his blade. Today was the fifth day since he entered the Trial Valley. His only belief was to fight his way out of the Trial Valley and become worthy enough to stand beside Wu Liuyin.
I wonder how she is?
These past few days, his unwavering belief has sustained him, driving him to fight day and night, slaying gods and Buddhas alike. He's like a bloodthirsty demon, mercilessly killing anyone who stands in his way.
Without a word from the outside world, he couldn't wait much longer without news of her. He figured he'd reach the final checkpoint after today. Finally, after five days without sleep, he leaned against a tree trunk and fell into a deep sleep. He kept murmuring, "Wu Liuyin, you are mine..."
At the main city gate, two people rode swiftly past on horseback.
Instead of returning to the Wu family, she stayed at the inn opposite the craftsman's house. Although she was forgetful, Wu Liuyin remembered the location of the place.
As soon as she entered the inn, she saw the man in blue robes upstairs with a wicked grin. Wu Liuyin's expression instantly darkened; why did she keep running into him!
Murong Fanghua never expected to run into Wu Liuyin. He originally planned to stay here for the night, sneak into Wu's mansion early the next morning to talk to Wu Liuyin about Xia Zhiheng, and then return to Shanghai with Hugo, Leili, and Brin.
But fate is so coincidental that they always meet by chance, saving them the trouble of sneaking into the dance hall tomorrow.
"Liuyin, what are you doing here?" Murong Fanghua said with a smile as he walked down the stairs.
As soon as Wu Liuyin and Liehuo stepped across the threshold, they saw Murong Fanghua coming downstairs.
Murong Fanghua's expression immediately turned cold when he saw the man with fiery red hair beside Wu Liuyin. Who was that man?
Seeing Murong Fanghua's expression, Liehuo finally felt a sense of pleasure. He was happy to see others uncomfortable. He knew that the man had feelings for Wu Liuyin, but he wanted to vent his anger and find some pleasure. He had been depressed all afternoon because of what Wu Liuyin had done to him at noon.
He had to be wary of Wu Liuyin's growing cunning!
