Just when Shui Lianyue was feeling worried, she suddenly noticed the sound of tiny footsteps coming from behind her. The sound was slow and cautious. She suddenly turned her head and looked over, only to see a slender black figure not far away surrounded by rockery. He was sneaking around, looking around.
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and moved quickly towards the black figure. She raised her hand and was about to grab the black figure's throat when she realized that the person coming was Nangong Ning.
"Why are you?" Shui Lianyue retracted her finger and asked in a low voice. Nangong Ning, who was already weak due to excessive blood loss, was frightened by this sudden move and almost fainted. Fortunately, Shui Lianyue had quick eyes and quick hands. Hold her.
Nangong Ning stood upright and couldn't help but take a few steps back. He carefully looked at the masked man in black in front of him, "Who are you? Do you know me?"
Shui Lianyue fiercely pulled off the mask on her face. When she saw the surprise in Nangong Ning's eyes, she put the mask back on, "Why is it you? What are you doing here?" Nangong Ning frowned. , the pale and haggard little face is both angry and shocked.[
"I'm here to explore the terrain and prepare to rescue King Yu." A simple and low word made Nangong Ning's expression even more exaggerated. Shui Lian Yuena rolled her eyes at Nangong Ning and said cautiously: "You and I must have the same purpose. Well, in this case, I have a problem now, I hope you can help me."
Although Nangong Ning was still confused, he couldn't help but ask: "What is the problem?"
"The Tongque Palace is full of secret guards with high martial arts skills. I can't get in. If I force my way in, it may be even more difficult to rescue King Yu in the future."
"How do you want me to help you?"
Shui Lianyue turned her head and glanced at the gate of the Bronze Bird Hall, thought for a while, looked at Nangong Ning with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the terrain inside the Bronze Bird Hall clearly?"
Nangong Ning shook his head and said: "Although I came here to play when I was a child, I have never entered the palace."
Shui Lianyue frowned when she heard the words and ignored Nangong Ning. She turned around and hid in a corner of the rockery, carefully staring at the surroundings of the Tongque Hall. Except for an attic, only the south wall had a dense and dense forest as tall as a person. There were grasses and other sheltered places. Nangong Ning followed Shui Lianyue. Seeing her looking towards the south wall, he couldn't help but whisper: "There is a dog hole on the south wall, and the defense is relatively lax. However, last time I I was almost discovered by them when I came here, I wonder if the dog hole is still there?”
Shui Lianyue ignored Nangong Ning and still looked at the south wall, but said in her heart that she would not dig a dog hole for Nangong Yu. After a moment, she turned to look at Nangong Ning and whispered: "I came from the south wall." Go in from the other side of the wall. You can now count from one to fifty. Then you will show up and find an excuse to attract the attention of the secret guards. I will take the opportunity to enter the hall, do you understand?"
Nangong Ning was startled for a moment, then nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Shui Lianyue tapping her toes, rising into the air, and flying towards the south wall. She was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Shui Lianyue to be a martial artist. The woman suddenly came to her senses. She calmed down and started counting from the beginning.
Shui Lianyue came to the south wall and saw the dog hole that Nangong Ning had mentioned. The hole was so narrow that she really didn’t know how Nangong Ning got in. She squatted down and lay on the ground with her ears bent, her phoenix eyes looking towards He glanced at the dog hole, immediately stood up again, and jumped in with a light body.
There were overgrown weeds all around, and they were extremely dense. Due to the rain, the humidity was very strong. Shui Lianyue half-crouched in the grass and observed the surroundings vigilantly. When she saw that nothing unusual was noticed, she felt relieved. At this moment, a faint woman's cry for help came from outside the wall, and there were footsteps and the sound of a door opening in the yard.
Shui Lianyue stood up and looked around. A dozen black-clothed secret guards ran out of the hall, and the black-clothed secret guards outside the hall also walked towards the gate. On the other side, Nangong Ning still kept calling for help. Shui Lianyue felt a vague uneasiness in her heart. There was Nangong Ning today, and they would definitely not be fooled by this trick tomorrow. If they wanted to rescue Nangong Yu tomorrow, I'm afraid the result would be the same.
Seeing that the door of the main hall was open, and the secret guards had walked out of the door, as Nangong Ning's cry rang out, Shui Lianyue flew over without hesitation, and stepped into the main hall, only to find that there were still five people in the hall. Before the secret guards could react, Xuan Tianling quickly flew out from her cuffs and slashed at the necks of the five secret guards. Without any warning, the five of them fell into a pool of blood.
Shui Lianyue looked around the hall, but did not find Nangong Yu's figure. Suddenly, she saw a big hole in the center of the hall. She walked over and took a look. There was a narrow staircase inside. She stepped down and in a blink of an eye she was there. When they arrived at the dungeon, there were still three secret guards in the dungeon. Seeing that the person coming was a man in black, the secret guards immediately pulled out their machetes and slashed at Shui Lianyue.
Because the dungeon was not spacious in the first place, Shui Lianyue's Xuantian Ling could not be deployed at all. In desperation, she had no choice but to keep dodging, but with a casual glance, she saw a person lying in the cell next to her.
After the four people fought for ten moves, Shui Lianyue feinted, grabbed a scimitar, and then solved the three secret guards. Shui Lianyue panted slightly, seeing that the three of them were dead, she did not dare to stop. She walked quickly to the cell door. The cell door was locked. She used her inner strength to shake the lock open and opened the cell door. She came to the man and turned him over with force. Only then did she see that it was Nangong Yu.
At this time, Nangong Yu's body was covered with scars, including numerous whiplashes, burns, and cuts. Some of the wounds had suppurated and exuded a faint fishy smell. Some wounds were still bleeding even though they had been sprinkled with gold sore medicine. The brocade on his body was still bleeding. His clothes were in pieces, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a coma.
Shui Lianyue called softly twice, but there was no response from Nangong Yu. Just when she was about to help Nangong Yu up, a secret guard suddenly rushed down. Upon seeing this, Shui Lianyue stood up quickly and threw out the mysterious thing in her sleeves. Tian Ling was guarding in front of her, her eyes were extremely sharp, and her whole body was surrounded by murderous aura, waiting to rush in and kill one by one.
Just as there was a stalemate in the dungeon, the sound of fighting with weapons was heard outside the dungeon. The secret guards were immediately startled. Some ran up and some remained below. Shui Lianyue curled her lips, sneered, and stepped out. At the cell door, the Xuantian Ling in his hand seemed to have come to life. It was no longer soft and silky. Shui Lianyue injected internal energy into it, making it like a sharp blade that could be controlled by the owner to fight with the secret guards. .[
Because the dungeon is narrow, although there are many secret guards, Xuantian Ling is a cold thing. Even if it is not stabbed by it, it will still be injured by its cold air. As long as the secret guards are hurt by the cold air , Shui Lianyue will not let it go, the smell of blood instantly fills the air, with a moist and putrid smell, gradually spreading in the air.
