"Who?" Liehuo stepped forward and exchanged two blows with the person in the bushes. Clearly, the person in the bushes was defeated and was dragged by Liehuo to Wu Liuyin's front.
"Chi? Ling'er?" Wu Liuyin looked at the two people in front of her with surprise, and even Su Xijue, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment.
"Mother, Ling'er misses you so much, waaaah!" Ling'er rushed to Wu Liuyin's side, hugged her waist and burst into tears. The grievances she had suffered these past few days could fill a book.
We're not allowed to speak loudly... We have to move stealthily... We stand breathlessly in the bushes... We can't drink clean water... We can't eat food... We can't take a bath... This is outrageous!!!
"Alright, alright, Ling'er, don't cry anymore," Wu Liuyin hugged Ling'er, stroking her head as she comforted her.
Liehuo's lips twitched slightly. Was the person in front of him still Wu Liuyin? How did he suddenly have another daughter?
"Chi, what happened?" Su Xijue asked Chi, who was seriously injured, after he had been stunned for a moment.
Chi recounted everything that happened after he left that day, up until he met them.
"Yes, you've suffered. Do you know why there's been no sign of the Warcraftians?" Su Xijue nodded, patted Ling'er's head, and asked.
"Someone in the Trial Valley main hall is challenging the Demon Lord Takaka here, so all the monsters have gone to help," Chi said.

"Let's go take a look quickly," Wu Liuyin said immediately upon hearing this. The others nodded and hurried towards the main hall. Liehuo, with a belly full of questions, also rushed over.
At the checkpoint where five hundred orcs stood, Wu Bailing watched the orcs suddenly depart one after another, somewhat puzzled. Hearing the commotion over there, she stopped her moves and followed them, hurrying towards the main hall.
With a loud "boom".
At the entrance of the main hall, Takaka was covered in whip marks. After a moment of pain, he was forced back several steps by Wu Hailan before he could stop.
He looked at Wu Hailan, panting heavily. This person was definitely not simple. After all, how could there be an incompetent person by the side of the Iron-Faced Black Man?!
"Takaka, today is your death day!" Wu Liuyin's eyes hardened, and she swiftly lashed out with the whip in both hands. Each lash created a sharp gust of wind that affected the surroundings, especially the enemy's speed, which could be greatly controlled.
"Hmph, you'll see if you can pull it off."
Takaka wielded his double axes and charged forward with equal skill. The two clashed, and the surrounding objects were destroyed bit by bit. The orcs who dared not approach the main hall were all dumbfounded, and no one stepped forward to help!
What a powerful woman! Even their Demon Lord is no match for her. Sending her up there would be nothing but death!
Wu Bailing, mixed among the orcs, looked at Wu Hailan with surprise. She hadn't expected Wu Hailan to be so strong.
With a "plop," Takaka crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of green blood as he clutched his chest with difficulty.
Wu Hailan turned around, looking disdainfully at Takaka who had fallen to the ground, her silver whip slowly waving on its own. Her bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on Takaka, a mocking smile appearing on her face. The Lord of Demon Beasts was nothing more than this.
"Damn woman!" Takaka cursed, trying to get up again, only to find himself completely paralyzed. Almost all his wounds began to itch, and his body was gradually going numb. His face darkened. Damn woman, the whip was poisoned! No wonder he had been retreating repeatedly, his movements becoming increasingly sluggish…
"Hmph, Takaka, of course I have that ability," Wu Hailan sneered, walking up to Takaka's side, looking down at him with vicious eyes.
"Like a thief in someone else's hands, do as you please."
Takaka turned his head away, closing his eyes unwillingly. He was indeed unwilling; if Wu Hailan's whip hadn't been poisoned, he wouldn't have been defeated so easily.

☆、111 Wu Hailan at this time
"Of course, do as I please, bring on my life!" Suddenly, a beautiful face turned ferocious, filled with murderous intent, as if drinking blood with a vengeance...
With a flick of his silver whip, one end wrapped around Takaka's neck, instantly causing his veins to bulge. Takaka's face turned bright red, and he struggled to breathe.
With a "snap," an arrow flew, and Wu Hailan's whip was shortened. By the time Wu Hailan came to her senses, Wu Liuyin was already standing straight in front of her.
Wu Hailan was surprised that Wu Liuyin had entered the Trial Valley so easily, but she quickly regained her ruthless and vicious side.
"Wu Hailan?" Wu Liuyin looked at the person in front of her with some disbelief. She had always respected Wu Hailan and thought she was a pure and capable woman. She never expected her to be so ruthless.
"Hmph, since you've discovered me, I don't want to explain. But I am Wu Hailan, and yet I am not. So since you're here too, I'll deal with you as well, to prevent future trouble." Wu Hailan turned around, and when she turned back, the whip was already lashing towards Wu Liuyin's face. Although it was broken, its power was immense!
"Be careful, the whip is poisonous," Takaka warned painfully.
"Hmph," Wu Liuyin didn't hesitate either. She dodged in a flash, pressed down on her divine bow and crossbow, and fired ten arrows at once.
Wu Hailan dodged quickly, but she was still a little too slow and an arrow struck her arm.
Turning his gaze towards Wu Liuyin, he became even more piercing. He leaped forward, his feet striking out, instantly pulling the surrounding ruins together to form a giant ball of trash that hurtled towards Wu Liuyin.
Wu Liuyin retreated repeatedly, then suddenly leaped forward and struck Wu Hailan with a palm strike. The fierce palm wind tore across Wu Hailan's beautiful face, and also tore her sleeves.
Wu Hailan suddenly took a few steps back, stopped, scooped out the whip, and looked at Wu Hailan.
"Hmph, you do have some skill, but I, Wu Hailan, am not afraid." She raised the long whip in her hand with a somewhat mystical air, waved it a few times, and suddenly closed her eyes and began to mutter to herself.
"Wave freely, Silver White Divine Whip!" Suddenly, the whip seemed to grow antennae, and several of them quickly surrounded Wu Liuyin, wrapping her into a white ball, like a caterpillar growing a cocoon.
"Liuyin..." Su Xijue exclaimed in surprise, leaping forward and kicking the focused Wu Hailan. Wu Hailan staggered back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood...

He then launched several more punches forward. Wu Hailan seemed to have little energy to parry the blows and was actually beaten by Su Xijue until she vomited blood uncontrollably. She slid heavily against the wall and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
"Is Ryune alright?"
Su Xijue turned around and looked at the giant white ball, shouting anxiously.
After saying, "I'm not that weak," Wu Liuyin broke free of the giant cocoon with a loud bang and walked out.
After glancing at the unconscious Wu Hailan on the ground, Wu Liuyin instructed Chi, "Remember to lock her up when we get back and interrogate her severely." Wu Liuyin looked at Wu Hailan. Her move just now was at the early stage of the Initial Release, which was truly a great level of cultivation. If the Wu family had someone who broke through to the Initial Release, they would definitely nurture them well. Why was it rumored that she only had blue spiritual power? There must be something fishy about it. If it weren't for the overuse of spiritual power, they probably wouldn't have been so lucky to defeat Wu Hailan today.
Although Mai Liuyin looked at her now-black spiritual energy, she was somewhat puzzled. Her body grew with every rest, so what did black spiritual energy represent? The initial stage of Shikai? Why didn't she have the weapons and incantations she could freely use?
"Yes, Third Imperial Consort," Chi said, then carried the unconscious Wu Hailan to the side.
Wu Liuyin walked to Takaka's side, looked down at Takaka, and asked with narrowed eyes, "What exactly happened between Wu Qiyuan and Nalan Die'er here fifteen years ago?"
"Are you Wu Liuyin?"
Takaka looked at the woman in the sky with surprise and asked, "I didn't expect Nalan Die'er's child to have grown so big."
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened here fifteen years ago?" Wu Liuyin asked with a sinister look on her face, leaning down and grabbing Takaka's collar. She didn't have time to recognize familiar faces right now.
Takaka looked at the crowd surrounding the main hall entrance, then suddenly waved to them and exchanged a few words in the orc language. The orcs quickly turned and dispersed, and a human among them also left, looking surprised and bewildered.
Wu Bailing hadn't expected Wu Hailan to be so powerful, nor had she expected Wu Liuyin to be so formidable. The two of them were far more skilled than her. She was unwilling to accept that the title of the Wu family's number one genius had been handed over so easily. No, she had to become stronger, stronger, only then could she hold onto the position of number one genius, only then could she hold onto the title of the clan leader's successor...
"Help me up first, then we'll go to the back hall and talk slowly," Takaka said with a smile to Wu Liuyin. It was as if the person in front of him was not Wu Liuyin, but Nalan Die'er.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Wu Liuyin pulled Takaka up and immediately walked towards the back hall.
Su Xijue frowned and followed. He didn't know why Liuyin wanted to investigate something that happened fifteen years ago. He could only go forward with his doubts.
The flames had long since reached the rooftop, and he began to recall them with a frown, relying on his senses.
Chi, leading the quiet Ling'er and dragging the unconscious Wu Hailan beside him, stood motionless at the entrance of the main hall, waiting for their master and Wu Liuyin to come out.

☆、113 Some Secrets
Takaka looked at Wu Liuyin and told her everything in detail.
"Back then, Nalan Die'er was the most beautiful woman in the capital. At the same time, the Nalan family carried an innate mission: to protect the Phoenix Stone and the Phoenix Maiden. Nalan Die'er was the Phoenix Maiden's blood-dripping guardian. During the war between the four kingdoms, whoever possessed the Asura Slash would rule the world. However, the Asura Slash was demonic; those with malicious intentions who obtained it and cultivated it risked being devoured by it, losing their beauty, becoming bloodthirsty demons, and having their bodies consumed by spiritual energy. The Phoenix Stone was the only rare object that could both counteract and cure the Asura Slash's poison. It was always protected by the descendants of the Phoenix Goddess, who later gradually retreated to the mainland, settling there as the Nalan family. Every hundred years, when the Asura Slash appeared, conflict would inevitably erupt on the continent. If the Asura Slash appeared, a Spirit Maiden would emerge, accompanied by the Phoenix Stone; conversely, if the Spirit Maiden did not appear but a Demon Maiden did, the continent would be plunged into utter chaos." And that spirit maiden must be a descendant of the Nalan family, the Phoenix Goddess! Fifteen years ago, the Iron-Faced Black Man, Feng Jingtian, the only bloodline holder of the Asura Slash in Huadu, suddenly went to Su Feng and controlled him. Later, he used Su Feng to exterminate the Nalan clan because if Nalan didn't obediently hand over the Phoenix Stone and the whereabouts of the Phoenix Maiden, the spirit maiden, the case of the massacre would be closed! And your mother is undoubtedly a descendant of the Phoenix Maiden. Later, your father was poisoned by Feng Jingtian and fell into a coma. Your mother brought your father to the Trial Valley to hide, but unexpectedly, Feng Jingtian chased them all the way here. This is what your mother told me to give you when I hope to see you again.”
After Takaka finished speaking, he took out a piece of sheepskin sealed in his waist and handed it to Mairuin.
"That's all?" Wu Liuyin took the thing Takaka handed her, raised an eyebrow at Takaka, and asked tentatively.
"That's all. I can't leave the valley, so that's all I know."
Takaka shrugged, his shoulders hunched, and a helpless expression on his face.
"Alright, we know, I'm leaving now," Wu Liuyin said, turning to leave.
"Hey, let's just go back through the passage. You guys haven't passed the checkpoint, so you definitely won't be able to use the wind to leave here," Takaka said.
