Chapter 227 Turning the Tide
A guard said nervously, "Miss, there are unusual noises coming from where the spirit jade is stored."
Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed, and she immediately ran towards the courtyard.
When she arrived, she found several dark figures engaged in a fierce battle with the guards. These dark figures were agile and swift, their weapons gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
The guards fought hard, but gradually became exhausted. Without a word, Lan Yunyan drew his sword and charged into the battle.
Her swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and each sword strike was accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, attacking the black shadow like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Seeing this, a dark figure rushed towards Lan Yunyan, brandishing a scimitar. Lan Yunyan dodged it sideways and stabbed the dark figure in the shoulder with a backhanded sword. The dark figure screamed and fell to the ground.
But the shadows did not retreat, they seemed to attack even more frantically.
Lan Yunyan realized that the purpose of these black shadows was to delay them, and she was shocked. Could it be that they had other accomplices to steal the spiritual jade?
While fighting, she looked towards the pavilion and saw several dark shadows appearing on the top of the pavilion and sneaking into the pavilion.
Lan Yunyan was extremely anxious. She shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding!"
Then he used the "Spectral Phantom Sword" to instantly force back the surrounding shadows and flew towards the pavilion.
When the black shadows on the top of the pavilion saw Lan Yunyan coming, one of the tall black shadows sneered: "Lan Yunyan, you are still late." As they said that, they sped up and rushed into the pavilion.
Lan Yunyan rushed to the roof of the pavilion and engaged in a desperate fight with the shadows. These shadows were all top masters of Baiyin Palace, and each of them was extremely powerful.
Lan Yunyan fought with them to a standstill. For a while, the flashes of swords and shadows of knives crisscrossed the roof of the pavilion.
During the fierce battle, Lan Yunyan discovered that the tall black shadow was their leader. His moves were extremely powerful, and he seemed to be looking for an opportunity to enter the pavilion.
Lan Yunyan seized the opportunity and deliberately revealed a flaw. The shadow leader was fooled and attacked Lan Yunyan with all his strength.
However, at the critical moment, Lan Yunyan dodged the attack and kicked the shadow leader in the back, causing the shadow leader to stagger forward a few steps.
Lan Yunyan took the opportunity to rush into the pavilion and ran towards the secret room where the spiritual jade was stored.
Inside the secret room, several dark figures were working on breaking the mechanism. Their technique was very skillful and they were about to open the door to the secret room.
Lan Yunyan arrived and shouted, "Stop!" and then started fighting with the black shadows.
The shadows were not expecting Lan Yunyan to arrive so quickly, and were somewhat flustered. Lan Yunyan seized the opportunity to attack, her swordsmanship flowing like clouds and water. After a few rounds, two shadows fell to the ground.
But at this time, the shadow leader also chased in.
He looked at his companion on the ground and roared, "Lan Yunyan, you ruined my plan. Today is the day you die."
As he spoke, he and the remaining black shadows attacked Lan Yunyan.
Lan Yunyan was not afraid at all. She knew very well that she could not retreat at this moment. Once the spiritual jade was taken away, the Lan family would be in irretrievable danger.
She and the shadows engaged in a thrilling battle in the secret room. In the narrow space, the sword wind was whistling, and every collision produced dazzling sparks.
Lan Yunyan gradually felt a bit exhausted, the attacks of the shadows were like a tide, wave after wave. But she was supported by a belief in her heart, that is to protect the Lan Mansion.
She saw an opportunity and flew towards a corner of the secret room, where there was a mechanism that could temporarily trap the enemy. Seeing this, the shadows immediately gave chase.
As Lan Yunyan approached the mechanism, she suddenly turned and sprinkled a handful of powder at the shadows. The shadows were caught off guard, their eyes blinded by the powder, and their movements slowed down.
Lan Yunyan took the opportunity to activate the mechanism, and iron fences rose from the ground, trapping the dark shadows inside.
Seeing this, the shadow leader roared angrily, "Lan Yunyan, do you think you can trap us like this?"
Lan Yunyan sneered: "You just stay here." After that, she turned and walked towards Lingyu.
The spiritual jade was placed on a crystal table, emitting a soft light, as if there was a mysterious power guarding it.
Lan Yunyan walked forward, gently picked up the spirit jade, and felt the warmth coming from it.
At this moment, another burst of shouting and killing came from the Lan Mansion.
Lan Yunyan frowned. Could there be other enemies? She hid the spirit jade and quickly rushed in the direction of the shouting and killing sounds.
It turned out that another group of people from Baiyin Palace attacked other places in Lan Mansion, trying to disperse Lan Mansion's military forces.
The guards of the Lan Mansion were fighting fiercely with them, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Lan Yunyan roared, "Baiyin Palace, you're going too far!"
Then he joined the battle again.
She was like a blooming red spider lily on the battlefield, beautiful and deadly.
Wherever her swordsmanship struck, enemies fell one after another. During the battle, she noticed that the people from Baiyin Palace seemed to be looking for something. She thought to herself, could they have other goals? As she fought, she pondered a countermeasure.
Suddenly, she thought of Lan Mengyan. Could it be that they wanted to rescue Lan Mengyan?
Lan Yunyan immediately ran towards Lan Mengyan's residence. When she arrived, she found that there were indeed several dark figures preparing to take Lan Mengyan away.
Lan Mengyan was terrified. She didn't expect Baiyin Palace to come to save her.
Lan Yunyan shouted, "Let her go!" and then attacked the black shadows.
The black shadows were a little panicked when they saw Lan Yunyan coming. While resisting Lan Yunyan's attack, they tried to take Lan Mengyan away.
Lan Yunyan started a fierce chase with them, her figure flashing through the night like lightning.
Finally, Lan Yunyan caught up with the shadows and started a final battle with them. After a hard fight, Lan Yunyan successfully repelled the shadows and rescued Lan Mengyan.
Lan Mengyan looked at Lan Yunyan, her eyes filled with complex expressions, including gratitude and guilt.
Lan Yunyan looked at her and said, "Lan Mengyan, I hope you can understand this time that family unity is the most important thing."
Lan Mengyan nodded slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
After this battle, the Lan Mansion was in ruins.
