After those disciples left, the biggest problem facing them now was how to bypass those guards and enter the city.

For ordinary cultivators, it is almost impossible to bypass the protective circle formed by the top cultivators from Tianya Island and Wanxian Pavilion, but this is not the case for Ying.

Their original plan was to use the Hundred Taboos Talisman to summon Xiao's magic power, and use Xiao's incredible speed to directly enter the city.

This method is simple and crude, especially when they witnessed Xiao's power in the previous battle with Hu Shui, Ying's terrifying speed is a speed that even Hu Shui, a top-notch fighter, can hardly catch up with.

So, when Qu Ning left, Ying immediately took out the talisman of no taboos, and using the effect of the talisman, she easily obtained the power of Xiao. Then, Ying grabbed Gui Yan and Gu Ling, and protected them both with the power of the wind element, and crossed the bridge outside the door before the guards could react.

She stopped only after Ying turned into a secluded alley and made sure there was no danger.

The whole process was completed in the blink of an eye, and they did not encounter any obstacles at all. It was so smooth that it seemed like they had cheated.

"Entering the city already?" Gu Ling was also full of disbelief. She knew that Ying's speed would be incredibly fast after using the talisman, but she didn't expect it to be this fast.

Originally, they had also formulated Plan B for escape, Plan C for meeting the enemy, and Plan D for begging for mercy in case they might encounter monks from Tianya Island or Wanxian Pavilion.

But now, Sprint Plan A succeeded directly, and the whole process took less than a second, which always gave me a strange feeling.

Ying also felt the magic power in his body that had not yet dissipated, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

“Ahem,” Ying coughed twice. “It seems that we overestimated Fengyang City. After all, Xiao is so fast that he can run from Wangshu Inn to Liyue Harbor in almost an instant. For most ordinary cultivators here, it is indeed impossible to defend against him.”

But unexpectedly, as soon as Ying finished speaking, a warm breeze blew past her ears!

"Alas!"

Ying's body tensed up instantly, and she quickly turned around to look behind her, but she found nothing in the dim alley.

"What's wrong?" Gui Yan asked curiously, and at the same time followed Ying's gaze. In her opinion, Fengyang City is worthy of being the safest and most prosperous city today.

If such a remote alley were in a place like Linyuan City, it would have been filled with garbage and stinking.

But here, the floor was smooth and bright, just like the regularly cleaned entrance of a prestigious hotel. There was no crack on the surrounding walls. Except that it was a little narrow and the light was a little dim, Gui Yan even felt that this place was more comfortable than the corridors of ordinary people's homes in Linyuan City.

Of course, in this world, hygiene is not something a person needs to care about, they are more concerned about safety.

In a place like this, where yin energy gathers and yang energy is thin, it might be fine during the day, but once night falls, I'm afraid that the monsters hiding here will come out, causing people to get a minor illness at the very least, or in serious cases, their lives may be directly harmed.

Ying's sudden reaction just now may explain something.

"Is there something dirty here?" Gui Yan asked. She clenched her right hand, ready to summon the Key of Divine Manifestation that Ying gave her at any time.

She had made some progress in her training and was now confident in dealing with ordinary small monsters. In addition, she felt very upset when she saw Wen Lan leaning on Ying last night, so she felt that she needed to show off in front of Ying.

But Gu Ling shook her head and said:

"Don't think too much. Fengyang City is protected by a natural formation. The aura in the city is the most hated by evil spirits and monsters. It's impossible for small monsters to appear here. As for big monsters, if there really are any, they would have been killed by the monks of Fengyang City long ago."

As a disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, Gu Ling also traveled around with him during these short eight years. She had seen Fengyang City from afar once. At that time, under the guidance of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, she personally felt the exquisiteness of the formation in Fengyang City. This made her very confident in the safety of Fengyang City even though she had never entered the city.

However, as usual, Gu Ling's slap in the face always came so quickly. As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from an unknown location in this alley:

“Hahaha, you believe in Fengyang City’s magic circle so much. But even if this magic circle is so powerful, don’t guys like you still sneak in?”

"Woo wow!" Gu Ling was startled by the sudden sound. Monsters were not scary to her. What was scary was that when she was sure there was no monster, the monster suddenly jumped out.

After a brief shock, Gu Ling felt ashamed and angry. She waved her fists and shouted into the alley:

"What kind of monster are you? How dare you challenge me? I will tear you to pieces!"

"What a hot-tempered little sister. If I'm not mistaken, you are the one who wanted to enter the city the day before yesterday, but because someone had the possessed Ling Yue in his body, you ended up being wanted instead."

"I never thought you could get in. Are the guards of Fengyang City too lax, or are you just too awesome?"

Ying frowned. After hearing this, she was sure that the other party was not a monster, but was most likely a cultivator from a certain sect. The other party even immediately discovered them sneaking into the city.

This was not good news for Ying, especially since they still didn't know where the other party's voice came from. Either the other party's strength was far superior to theirs, or the other party used some method to hide his position.

If it's the former, Ying can only consider herself unlucky and use the plans B, C, and D they had prepared.

If it was the latter, Ying felt that the other party was delaying time, perhaps waiting for the monks in the city to come and capture them.

No matter which one it is, she has decided to execute Plan B!

"Plan B!"

Ying shouted hurriedly, hugged Gui Yan's body with one hand, and lifted Gu Ling's clothes with the other hand. The wind elemental power belonging to Xiao burst out instantly, but just when she was about to escape the scene, the owner of the voice suddenly became anxious.

"Hey! Wait wait!"

As the voice changed, a young girl stumbled and fell to the ground, appearing in Ying's sight in a funny way.

It was a woman in black and white.

This comment may sound strange, but it is true.

The woman had shiny black hair and skin as white as jade. Her hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin with a smooth black gem on it. She was wearing a plain and neat white dress with a circle of pure black lace on the edge.

After realizing her own gaffe, she quickly raised her head and looked at Ying with her big black and white eyes. She was joking with Ying and the others just now, but now she burst into tears:

"Don't leave, I want to see my mother for the last time!"
