"Little girl, tonight I must see what you're capable of," the newcomer said, looking quite fierce.
Although it was nighttime, under the bright moonlight, Ziyan could still make out the person's height and build.
Moreover, Ziyan noticed that this person had deliberately altered their voice, but the ample bosom that surged like waves and her height still gave her away.
For Ziyan, who had studied criminal analysis in her previous life, such a simple analytical ability was child's play.
So in just an instant, Ziyan guessed the identity of the newcomer.
"Are you here to kill me, or do you just want to spar with me?" Ziyan teased the overconfident older woman before her.
"Kill you? Hahaha—there's no need for that. I just want to see how much a little girl like you can handle as the Leader of the Heavenly Pivot Sect," Charming Consort Hong Lianhua laughed disdainfully at Ziyan.
Not wanting to kill her?
It seemed that Hong Lianhua still had some redeeming qualities. Ziyan secretly hoped that she was genuinely concerned about the future of the Heavenly Pivot Sect and not just trying to make things difficult for her.
Then, steadying her legs and grounding herself, Ziyan smiled and said, "Well then! Just bring it on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, preparing to receive and counterattack.
She thought to herself that it had been a while since she had a good fight. After all, she was not a soft persimmon for others to squeeze as they pleased.
Since this old woman was coming to pick a fight, there was no better time than tonight! Ziyan would accompany her for a practice session.
Soon enough, the two began to spar and fight fiercely.
Ling Yuxuan, who was originally reading in her room, was startled by the noise and jumped from the second floor to the yard below. However, she still had confidence in her Beloved One.
So she simply stood quietly to the side, observing the situation without making a sound.
Seeing her Beloved Child engaged in a fierce battle with the masked woman in black, and noticing that her Beloved One was becoming more and more courageous, showing no signs of losing ground, Ling Yuxuan nodded in satisfaction. She then began to use her lightness skill, busily searching for the ten or so shadow guards who were supposed to be guarding the courtyard.
Even if they had been silently dealt with from the shadows, there should still be bodies! This woman in black couldn't possibly have carried all those living people or corpses out of Ren Shi Tang in one go.
Not to mention that the entire Ren Shi Tang is filled with traps; just from her observations during the day, it was clear that this place could be considered a super military fortress, with countless hidden shadow guards everywhere.
How could someone sneak in like this? The answer could only be twofold.
The first possibility is that this person must be an insider, and a high-ranking official or even an elder within Heavenly Pivot Sect;
The second possibility is that this person possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, like a top-tier master such as herself. But just now, she clearly saw that the martial arts of the woman in black were even inferior to those of her beloved little woman.
Thus, the final and only conclusion emerged: this woman in black must be from within Heavenly Pivot Sect.
High-ranking official? Elder? Woman?
Ling Yuxuan took a closer look at the figure of the woman who was currently engaged in a heated battle with Ziyan.
Suddenly, Ling Yuxuan recognized that this was undoubtedly Charming Consort Hong Lianhua, who had deliberately provoked Ziyan not long ago.
What does this old woman want?
What happened to those shadow guards? Were they tied up by her or killed by her? If she could even kill her own people, then this old woman definitely couldn't be left alive tonight.
Thinking about the various possibilities, Ling Yuxuan quickened her pace significantly and decided to use a teleportation technique to search the entire courtyard at high speed.
Sure enough! The Heavenly Sovereign did not disappoint those who worked hard. After searching upstairs and downstairs, Ling Yuxuan, who refused to miss any opportunity in the various corners of the yard, finally discovered that the group of shadow guards had all been put to sleep with pressure points.
At this moment, they were all submerged in the water of the lotus pond, with only their heads resting against the wall, each one already sound asleep.
Ling Yuxuan directly used her unsheathed sword to tap on the pressure points of those shadow guards to wake them up while unable to help but complain: how could the Heavenly Pivot Sect send such a group of low-level martial artists to guard their leader?
If it weren't for Wu Xiang going to the capital to discuss new store matters with the Sixth Prince, how could Charming Lady be so arrogant? At least she should have been held off for a while.
Soon, those shadow guards in the water began to wake up one after another and quickly jumped onto the shore.
Meanwhile, Ziyan and Hong Lianhua were engaged in combat, each using their lightness skills to fly into mid-air above the lotus pond. Especially Hong Lianhua, whose graceful figure spun elegantly in mid-air as if dancing.
The men on the shore were dumbfounded, unable to take their eyes off the scene before them.
At that moment, the sight was so beautiful that it felt like a fairy descending from a celestial realm, breathtaking enough to leave these men gasping for breath.
On Hong Lianhua's side, she was determined to fight Ziyan as if it were a life-and-death struggle.
Unknowingly, they had been fighting fiercely for nearly two hours.
Gradually, Ziyan's exhilaration began to fade. It wasn't that she felt particularly tired; she was just quite annoyed at continuing this endless entanglement with this old woman.
It seemed that if she didn't give her some real consequences tonight, this old woman would truly not let it go. Ziyan thought to herself.
At the last moment, she began to fight back fiercely. The elder lady decided she wouldn't play along anymore and would take you down with a few ruthless moves.
Next, Ziyan launched a full-scale attack, her movements becoming faster and more vicious with each strike.
Finally, the aging and weakened Charming Consort Hong Lianhua could no longer keep up, her responses growing slower and slower.
Ziyan seized the opportunity, unexpectedly channeling her energy. Then she leaped into the air again, twisting her body to soar above Hong Lianhua's head.
In the next second, Ziyan delivered a final, decisive blow, kicking Hong Lianhua at the base of her skull where the Fengchi acupoint is located.
Instantly, Hong Lianhua felt dizzy and fell face-first into the lotus pond.
However, Ziyan, not wanting Hong Lianhua to drown, quickly executed a technique akin to a dragonfly skimming the water, landing at the spot where Hong Lianhua had fallen and grabbing her hands that were struggling above the surface.
She then yanked her out of the water and swiftly removed the black cloth that had clung to her face due to being wet.
At that moment, Hong Lianhua had already regained consciousness from falling into the water. She sat weakly on the ground, coughing and gasping for breath after having swallowed some water from the pond.
Once she had calmed down a bit, Yan Laoguai and Qiansha Jun Luyuan arrived, looking at her with exasperation.
Ziyan shrugged her shoulders at the two elder men and said, "It's up to you now! I'm tired and going back to my room to rest. As for her—handle it yourselves."
"Uh? Well—"
Yan Laoguai felt completely defeated by Charming Consort Hong Lianhua's intelligence this time. He could only helplessly bow mechanically to his New Sect Leader and nod in agreement.
After watching Ziyan enter the house accompanied by Ling Yuxuan, he shot a frustrated glare at his junior sister Hong Lianhua.
He shook his head in frustration and let out a long sigh, then turned to Lu Yuan and instructed, "First, lock her up in the dungeon—do not reveal this to anyone below."
Finally, he turned and left silently.
Lu Yuan could only approach Hong Lianhua with a sense of helplessness. Looking at her, he felt a deep sorrow and scolded her, "Senior Sister, I really don't understand what you're trying to achieve. Do you have to create such panic within the Heavenly Pivot Sect before you will stop? You actually attempted to murder the Leader at midnight; is that something you would do?"
"I had no intention of taking the Sect Master's life; I just wanted to test her abilities," Hong Lianhua replied defiantly, despite her injuries.
"Well, have you figured it out now?" Lu Yuan asked sarcastically, exasperated by his foolish senior sister.
"I—" Hong Lianhua was suddenly at a loss for words.
Indeed! She had tested her, but now the charge of attempting to murder the Leader was firmly established against her. She feared for her own life now.
What a loss! What a loss! In an instant, Charming Consort Hong Lianhua felt regret deep in her gut.
But what could she do now? Just admit defeat and give in?
Hong Lianhua had countless feelings of unwillingness; she couldn't believe she had been defeated by such a young girl. Where was the justice in this?
With a heavy heart, Hong Lianhua watched as Lu Yuan took away the token that represented her elder status. At this moment, she could only obediently follow Lu Yuan into the dungeon for a while.
The Heavenly Pivot Sect had a crucial rule: anyone who betrayed the sect or conspired to harm fellow members or usurp power must be punished.
