Chapter 228 Ambush
Lan Yunyan looked at the injured guards and servants, feeling filled with guilt.
But she knew that now was not the time to be sad, as there were many things that needed to be dealt with. She began to arrange for the treatment of the wounded, the cleanup of the battlefield, and the strengthening of the defenses of the Lan Mansion.
Old Master Lan also arrived at the scene. He looked at the exhausted but still strong Lan Yunyan and said, "Yunyan, it is thanks to you that the Lan family was able to survive this crisis."
Lan Yunyan said, "Grandpa, this is what I should do. However, we cannot let our guard down. Baiyin Palace has suffered heavy losses this time, and they will definitely come back."
Mr. Lan nodded and said, "You are right. We must be prepared."
In the following days, Lan Yunyan reorganized the Lan Mansion while continuing to investigate clues about Baiyin Palace.
She discovered that the Baiyin Palace had some strongholds in other places, so she decided to take the initiative to attack and completely eradicate the Baiyin Palace. She summoned the masters of the Lan Mansion, made a detailed plan, and headed towards the Baiyin Palace stronghold.
In the process of attacking the Baiyin Palace stronghold, Lan Yunyan encountered various difficulties and obstacles. Some strongholds were equipped with powerful organs, while others were guarded by a large number of masters.
But Lan Yunyan relied on her wisdom and courage to overcome difficulties time and time again.
In a stronghold, they encountered a strange poison that paralyzed the whole body once inhaled. After Lan Yunyan discovered it, she immediately asked everyone to hold their breath, then found the source of the poison and destroyed it.
At another stronghold, they encountered an ambush from the Baiyin Palace. Enemies surged in from all sides, surrounding them. Lan Yunyan calmly directed the battle, while she herself, like a god of war, charged into the enemy lines, striking fear into their hearts.
After a fierce battle, they succeeded in breaking through the stronghold.
As one stronghold after another was captured, the power of Baiyin Palace was gradually weakened.
When the leader of Baiyin Palace learned about this, he was furious. He decided to go out himself and fight Lan Yunyan to the death.
Lan Yunyan was not afraid after hearing the news, but was filled with fighting spirit. She knew that this was a good opportunity to completely eliminate the threat to Baiyin Palace.
Finally, Lan Yunyan met the leader of Baiyin Palace in a valley.
The Palace Master of Baiyin Palace is a middle-aged man with a ferocious face, who exudes a powerful aura.
He looked at Lan Yunyan and sneered, "Lan Yunyan, you have repeatedly ruined my plans. Today is your burial place."
Lan Yunyan held the long sword in her hand and said, "Old villain, your plot will not succeed. Today I will rid the family of this evil."
The two immediately engaged in a battle that shook the heavens and earth. The Baiyin Palace Master's martial arts were unfathomable, his moves imbued with powerful internal energy, and each strike caused vibrations in the surrounding air.
Lan Yunyan relied on her flexible swordsmanship and tenacious will to fight him. The battle between the two went from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, and from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.
The surrounding trees were destroyed by their strength, and rocks rolled down as if it was the end of the world.
During the fierce battle, Lan Yunyan discovered that although the Palace Master of Baiyin Palace had a strong internal force, it was also depleted quickly. She decided to adopt a war of attrition strategy, constantly dodging the Palace Master's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
After a long battle, the internal strength of the Palace Master of Baiyin Palace gradually ran out, and his attacks began to become slow.
Lan Yunyan seized the opportunity and used her ultimate move, "Cloud Breaking Slash," sending a powerful sword energy towards the Palace Master of Baiyin Palace. The Palace Master of Baiyin Palace resisted with all his might, but was still hit by the sword energy, spitting blood from his mouth and falling to the ground.
Lan Yunyan walked up to him and said, "Your conspiracy is over."
The Palace Master of Baiyin Palace looked at her unwillingly and said, "You... don't be too happy too soon. Baiyin Palace will not perish just like this."
After saying this, he died of suffocation.
With the death of the Baiyin Palace Master, the Baiyin Palace completely collapsed. Lan Yunyan returned to the Lan Mansion with the news of victory, and the entire Lan Mansion was filled with jubilation.
Old Master Lan personally greeted Lan Yunyan. He said excitedly, "Yunyan, you are the pride of the Lan family. You have made immortal contributions to the family."
Lan Yunyan smiled and said, "Grandpa, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
After Lan Yunyan returned to the Lan Mansion, although she was immersed in the joy of victory, the last words of the Palace Master of Baiyin Palace always lingered in her mind.
She knew very well that although Baiyin Palace seemed to be collapsing, if there were any fish that slipped through the net, it would cause trouble in the future.
After a short rest, Lan Yunyan decided to conduct a thorough investigation of the remaining forces of Baiyin Palace. She led the masters of the Lan Mansion and followed the clues they had obtained, traveling between various towns and mountains.
Whenever they arrived at a suspicious place, they searched carefully, not missing any clues.
One day, they came to a remote mountain village. This village is usually peaceful and tranquil, but recently some strange rumors have been spreading.
Villagers said that every late at night, strange noises would be heard from the abandoned mill outside the village, and some people saw dark shadows lurking nearby.
When Lan Yunyan heard this, she felt that something was wrong and decided to go and find out what was going on.
As they approached the abandoned mill, an eerie atmosphere hit them.
The mill's walls were mottled and worn, and the window panes were mostly broken, creaking in the wind. Lan Yunyan signaled everyone to be careful, then took the lead and entered the mill.
The mill was filled with a pungent smell, and some broken farm tools and grains were scattered on the ground.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the corner. Lan Yunyan looked closely and found that it was a few mice running away.
But she did not let her guard down because she felt that the atmosphere here was a little unusual.
Just then, there was a slight movement overhead. Lan Yunyan looked up and saw several dark shadows swaying on the beams of the mill.
She shouted, "Who?" and drew her sword.
Black shadows instantly jumped down from the beams. They turned out to be several killers dressed in Baiyin Palace costumes.
These killers had fierce eyes and sharp blades in their hands. Without saying a word, they attacked Lan Yunyan and others.
Lan Yunyan's swordsmanship was sharp, easily blocking the killer's attack. She found that these killers' skills were more advanced than those she had encountered before, and their moves were closely coordinated. They were obviously elites who had undergone special training.
