"Humph! Do you think you can sit back and relax like this? There are even more powerful people out there who are eyeing this land and waiting for an opportunity to act..." Even after being defeated, the woman still did not give up any remarks that might cause panic. She continued to intimidate the two winners in front of her in an attempt to destroy the last bit of joy brought by the victory in their hearts.
Hearing this, Lan Li's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but look to his companions for advice.
Su Ye's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at the woman on the ground, the long sword in his hand trembling slightly. Although Lan Li was still young, after experiencing a series of events, she gradually learned how to stay calm in danger. She quickly assessed the situation and whispered, "Brother Daye, what should we do?"
"Don't rush to deal with her," Su Ye said in a low voice, "We need to pry more information out of her."
Seeing that the two seemed to still be interested in her, the woman sneered, with a sly look in her eyes: "What do you want to know? I won't tell you anything easily."
"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to attack the people of the sect?" Su Ye asked coldly.
The woman raised her lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Sect? You who think you are righteous people actually don't understand the true face of this world. I am the witch Wei Ya, a messenger from the dark land. Everything we do is for a greater goal."
Hearing this, Lan Li frowned and asked softly, "What's the bigger goal?"
Wei Ya raised her head and laughed sharply: "Haha, stupid children, if I tell you, there are some secrets in this world that ordinary people cannot bear."
Seeing the other party so rampant, Su Ye's eyes became even more fierce. "Stop talking nonsense," she said coldly, "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell the truth!"
Wei Ya's eyes turned cold and she stopped talking. Just as the three of them were confronting each other, suddenly a powerful wave of force came from not far away, and the air seemed to tremble.
Su Ye felt something was wrong and immediately said to Lan Li, "Li'er, get ready to defend yourself. It seems that there are more enemies approaching!"
At this moment, several dark shadows rushed in from all directions, each carrying a strong evil aura. Leading the way was a tall man holding a black scepter, with deep and sinister eyes and a cruel smile on his lips.
"Haha, I never expected to meet two brave kids here." His voice was low and threatening.
Seeing the reinforcements had arrived, Wei Ya immediately struggled to get up, but Su Ye stepped on her back. "Don't move!" she shouted coldly.
The man raised his hand slightly, and the surrounding black shadows rushed towards the two of them. Su Ye did not flinch, and wielded her sword to meet the enemy. Her figure passed by like a flying goose, and her sword swept across, slashing at the enemies who rushed towards her one by one. However, the enemy had a large number of people, and each of them was extremely powerful.
"Lier, be careful around you!" Su Ye reminded loudly.
Lan Li nodded, quickly took out a small dagger, and activated various small devices on his body, ready to fight. At the same time, Wei Ya took advantage of the chaos to escape from the restraints and besieged the two together with the group of men in black.
The battle was extremely fierce, Su Ye fought many enemies alone but still held her own. Her swordsmanship was divine, and every move was fatal. However, the long-term high-intensity battle gradually made her feel a little exhausted.
Suddenly, a strange energy shot out from the crowd towards Lan Li who was not prepared behind Su Ye. At the critical moment, Su Ye did not hesitate to put herself in front of Lan Li to block the attack - with a light "puff" sound, a hole was pierced in her chest.
Blood was flowing out, Su Ye gritted her teeth and insisted on standing up to prevent herself from falling. "Li'er... hurry up, leave here!" she ordered while panting.
Tears welled up in Lan Li's eyes, and she hugged her seriously injured companion tightly and refused to leave: "I won't leave! I want to take you home!"
"Silly child, be obedient!" Su Ye used up her last bit of strength to push the little girl away. "Remember our agreement... no matter what happens, you must stay strong and live!" After saying that, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, losing consciousness...
Seeing her beloved being fatally injured, Lan Li was filled with anger and grief. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards the besiegers, shouting, "Damn bastards! Let go of my brother Daye! Otherwise, I will destroy you all!!!"
At this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly descended from the sky, sweeping across the battlefield like a violent storm. Everyone stopped and looked up into the sky. A white-haired old man in a robe and holding a cane appeared out of thin air above them, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Who dares to act wildly on the territory of our Liuyu Sect!" The elder's voice resounded through the world like thunder, causing pain in the eardrums of everyone present. The men in black were all shocked, and the tall man in the lead couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"It's the elder of Liuyu Sect!" Someone shouted in fear, and then everyone fell into chaos. Some frightened enemies were about to flee, but the man holding the scepter coldly shouted: "Stop! Have you forgotten our purpose?"
Although Su Ye was unconscious, her presence seemed to become an invisible barrier, blocking the enemy's further actions. Lan Li hugged her tightly, with unprecedented fighting spirit and determination burning in her eyes. She slowly raised her head and looked directly at the old man who had just arrived: "Old man, please save my brother Daye..."
The elder of Liuyu Sect stared at the little girl for a moment and nodded: "Don't worry, I will not let them get hurt again." After that, he waved his hand and a soft light enveloped Su Ye's wound - the wound began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bleeding stopped not long after.
Seeing this, the enemy leader knew that it would be difficult to win the battle today, so he gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat: "Let's go! We can't stay here for long!"
However, just as they were about to evacuate, the elder swung his cane violently, and several water dragons rose from the ground and pounced on the other side! At the same time, there seemed to be some special power fluctuations in the air, which made some of the already shaken black-clothed people feel fear and dare not move. Taking this opportunity, Lan Li quickly took out a small and exquisite bracelet from her arms, put it on her wrist, and then pressed the switch to start the device. The next moment, the surrounding scene changed suddenly - the surrounding environment became blurred and countless phantoms appeared to interfere with the vision.
"Is this an illusion generator?" the old man asked the girl beside him with a little surprise.
"That's right." Lan Li replied, "This is one of the secret weapons I prepared specifically to deal with these bad guys. As long as they get lost in there, we can buy more precious time."
Just as the enemy was frantically trying to break through the illusion blockade, they suddenly heard dense footsteps and shouts of killing not far away. "Oh no! It seems that a large number of reinforcements are coming here!" One of the calmer guys hurriedly reminded everyone.
As the sound got closer, dozens of people wearing uniform blue armor and clearly belonging to the Liuyu Sect appeared in the field of vision, and their number was still increasing!
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, the leader finally lost his patience and angrily scolded his men: "A bunch of rubbish! Attack with all your might to break through the siege!" He personally commanded the team to divide into several small teams and launch strong attacks in different directions in the hope of getting rid of the entanglement as soon as possible.
At this time, Wei Ya, who had been standing outside and watching the battle for a long time without participating in the battle, showed a strange smile on her face. While the attention of others was distracted, she quietly left the team and slipped into the nearby dense forest alone...
When the dust settled, all the intruders were either subdued or fled away, never to be found again. Only a few victors were left standing on the ruins in silence.
"Thank you so much, old man. If it weren't for your help, we would have been dead today~" Lan Li excitedly pulled Su Ye, who had just woken up and looked tired, to the old man and said respectfully.
The latter chuckled and waved his hands, saying, "Haha, no, no, it's my job to protect the younger generation. But it seems that you are also quite outstanding. The little girl not only remained calm in the face of danger, but also came up with such a clever response. It is really commendable!"
Hearing this, Lan Li's cheeks slightly flushed and she lowered her head and said softly: "Actually, these are all due to Brother Daye's good teaching. Oh, right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Lan Li, and her name is Su Ye."
"Very good, very good. It is said that there are rumors about the deeds of two heroes in the martial arts world recently. They are really extraordinary. As for me, my name is Lan Cangzi. I am one of the four elders of the Liuyu Sect and I am responsible for protecting the safety of this area."

While the three were talking, several disciples nearby had already started cleaning up the mess, sweeping the battlefield, and treating the injured. Their work was done in an orderly and efficient manner.
However, the good times didn't last long. When Lan Cangzi turned around and was about to give his men instructions, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure rapidly disappearing at the edge of the forest in the distance.
"Huh, I didn't expect you to be alive until now." Lan Cangzi murmured in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Lan Li was sensitive and noticed something and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, there are just some things that need to be handled personally. You two should have a good rest and get enough energy, and then we can discuss the next step tomorrow." After saying that, he turned into a flash of lightning and rushed into the distance and disappeared without a trace, leaving the two girls behind him staring in amazement in that direction for a long time.
"Who is he chasing?" Lan Li frowned and asked his companion who was still lying on the ground gasping weakly.
"I don't know, but we have to recover our strength as soon as possible. I feel that what is going to happen next will be more dangerous." Su Ye struggled to sit up, his eyes determined.
As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, there were sudden bursts of hurried footsteps, weapons colliding, and low roars coming from the distant forest. Lan Li's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that something was wrong. She stood up quickly and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Quick! There are enemies approaching!" Lan Li said nervously, leaning over to help Su Ye up from the ground, trying to prevent her wound from being affected. "We must leave here immediately."
Although Elder Lan Cangzi had just left, his appearance gave them some breathing space. However, the enemy's approach again undoubtedly put them in a new crisis. At this time, a disciple from the River Valley Sect hurried over and said breathlessly: "The elders just received news that the enemy has sent more reinforcements and is heading here quickly!"
"Damn it..." Lan Li gritted her teeth, looked around, and looked at Su Ye with a firm look: "Brother Daye, let's find a place to hide first and make plans after the support arrives."
At this moment, a little girl came running over from a distance, holding another slightly younger girl. "Brother Lan Liye, please help us!" The little girl named Xiaomi was in tears, obviously frightened. "The bad guys want to take us to their secret base, saying that we are for experiments..."
Hearing this, Lan Li's rage intensified. She gently patted Xiaomi's shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, I'll take you away from here." She turned her head to look at Su Ye, and after confirming that she was barely able to move on her own, she quickly made a decision: "Come on, follow me to the mountains in the west! There is a secret base we set up there where we can hide temporarily."
The group quickly crossed the dense forest and moved forward in the complex terrain, hoping to shake off the pursuers. On the way, they met a few children from the village who were also escaping from the enemy's encirclement and suppression - most of them were little girls, who looked only five or six years old. Although they knew that doing so would make the team's progress much more difficult, they thought about the pain and torture these innocent lives would suffer if they fell into the hands of those villains, so they were kind-hearted and naturally could not ignore it.
As time went by, the footsteps behind them seemed to be getting closer and closer. Just when everyone was almost exhausted and ready to take a break, Su Ye keenly caught something strange -
"Oh no, there are people lying in ambush ahead, waiting for us to fall into their trap!" This usually gentle woman suddenly revealed a powerful aura that had never been seen before, making people trust her involuntarily.
Lan Li immediately stopped and observed the surroundings, and soon noticed several man-made objects hidden behind the leaves that were faintly glowing. "There is indeed a problem!" She whispered, "It seems that we have to change our plan. Let me think of a way to safely avoid this trap."
Just as she was frowning and thinking hard, a small voice timidly sounded: "Brother Ye, if you believe me, maybe I can lead you out in a shortcut."
Everyone turned their eyes to the person who was talking, and they found that it was Xiaoya who came with Xiaomi earlier. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with suspicion, the girl quickly explained: "I know this road because I accidentally got lost when I secretly went up the mountain with my grandfather to pick herbs to learn skills. At that time, it was through that road that I bypassed many dangerous areas and returned home safely..." (End of this chapter)
