"More? It must be something very important! Tell me, if it helps, I can consider giving you the antidote for two months at a time."

Zi Yi leaned against the door with his fists clasped, his tone gentle, yet full of the attitude of a superior.

"Tonight, I saw the Cloud Light Sword—"

"The Cloud Light Sword is inside the palace gate? Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Yun Weishan’s face turned pale as he reached out to touch the wound on his shoulder.

"This wound is the best proof."

Zi Yi quickly walked to Yun Weishan's side, tore open her dress, and looked at her carefully.

Many years ago, Wufeng was robbed by Yunguang Sword once. There were so many casualties that they were forced to move to a more secluded place. Yunguang Sword then became a legend.

Therefore, she naturally recognized the wound caused by the Yun Guang Sword, but Yun Weishan had definitely never seen it. At that time, she could only fight in that quagmire!

"That's right! I'll report this matter immediately. I believe headquarters will take action soon."

After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill of antidote and handed it to Shangguan Qian, and gave the rest to Yun Weishan.

"A reward for you..."

Yun Weishan's eyes were cold. He opened the porcelain bottle and threw an antidote into his mouth.

In the days that followed, although the Old Dust Valley was still bustling, there were undercurrents surging underneath.

Gong Yuanzheng held Jiu Ning's hand, talking and laughing, and slowly walked to the Blade Holding Hall. Seeing that everyone was there, the two realized that they were late.

Gong Shangjiao looked at the two of them and smiled, then coughed lightly to hide the smile on his face.

"Come earlier next time and sit aside!"

Jiu Ning looked at the current ranking. Gong Shangjiao took over as the new leader, but because the Wufeng War was imminent, it was not announced to the public.

Sitting on both sides were the elders, Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Zishang, and finally Gong Ziyu, who was right opposite Jiu Ning.

He had resisted before, but was stopped by Gong Shangjiao's words, "Have you made any contribution to the palace?"

Not only has Gong Ziyu made no contribution, he has also been singing a different tune recently.

"I called you here today to discuss Wufeng's attack in three days. Are all the palaces ready?"

"Brother... Zhiren, Zheng Gong has prepared a large amount of poison and is cooperating with Shang Gong to poison the weapons. We have also arranged for treatment for the injured. Please rest assured, Zhiren!"

"Holding the blade, Shang Gong has been working tirelessly to forge weapons, without stopping for a moment. It's just... we're a little short of manpower. How about transferring Jin Fan to me?"

Jin Fan, who was standing behind Gong Ziyu, took a step back instantly and shook his head at Gong Ziyu in a very subtle way.

"Well... then Jin Fan, you should go to Shang Palace and help out!"

"Thank you, Zhiren. You are such a kind person."

Gong Shangjiao had no intention of asking Gong Ziyu. Gong Ziyu was in charge of defense, but Gong Ziyu had never paid attention to these things since he was a child.

As soon as he became a Blade Bearer, he went to the back mountain for training. If they wanted him to be in charge of defense, he still had a lot to learn, but no one had time to teach him now!

Helplessly, Gong Shangjiao could only take over, and Gong Ziyu became free and followed him to learn.

The original plan was to set up an ambush in each palace, disperse Wufeng's men, and defeat them one by one.

But Jiuning said that this method was too frivolous. If they encountered a stronger enemy, the palace would suffer heavy losses.

There was no way out. The defense of the palace gate had to be rearranged again. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep.

Gong Ziyu looked at Jin Fan with an apologetic look on his face, smiled awkwardly, and ignored him. Jin Fan was so angry that he could only grit his teeth and glared at him fiercely.

"Yuanzheng, on the day of the wedding, you must protect Miss Jiang. According to the news reported from the stronghold, Wufeng's main target this time is the Cloud Light Sword and Miss Jiang. Wuliang Liuhuo will have to stay in the back, so you must be careful then."

"Jiujiu? Why did Wufeng's people capture her?"

Gong Yuanzheng was shocked, and everyone was also surprised. The Cloud Light Sword was a treasure, and everyone would want it, which was understandable, but why did they capture a girl? A girl who was not famous in the martial arts world at that?

"Because they want to use Miss Jiang in exchange for the secret of the Cloud Light Sword."

Jiu Ning clicked her tongue in disdain. She wondered what those who survived the battle would think when they saw her and the Yun Guang Sword appear at the same time.

I really want to see their faces change.

"This time, Wufeng's men outnumber us several times, but the palace gate cannot ask for external assistance, so we can only rely on you."

This is really bad news. Wufeng really spent a lot of money on the Yunguang Sword. Fortunately, both sides were prepared and were not caught off guard.

But it's ten times! This is not something that can be easily made up by superior martial arts skills. It will inevitably be an extremely fierce battle.

"Miss Jiang, your brothers wrote to say they are ready and can act at any time. They will try their best to be back on your wedding day."

That would be really hard work, because both sides took action on the same day. I was afraid that Wufeng’s people would disperse their forces and fail to eradicate the problem completely.

"Thank you, Zhiren, for letting me know. By the way, have the people I captured a few days ago been turned against me?"

Gong Shangjiao thought about it and nodded. If the two were really turned against the government, it would be a definite decapitation operation. Even if it was fake, it didn't matter. They had weaknesses and they wouldn't dare to tell anyone.

At this time, a meeting was being held inside the palace gate, and Wufeng, who was outside the palace gate, also summoned everyone to go to the secret base.

This is a small town outside the Jiuchen Valley. Many figures are constantly shuttling back and forth in the alleys, and the people in Wanhua Tower have also received the notice.

However, Zi Yi had a higher status and left two days ago. It is unknown what mission he received.

The only others who can participate are Jackdaw Four and Jackdaw Seven.

Seeing that they were almost at the door, Jackdaw Qi stopped the man with a malicious look on his face, and pointed the knife at Jackdaw Si secretly, and whispered.

"Tell me, you disappeared for an hour the day before yesterday. What were you doing?"

Jackdaw Si ignored him and turned around regardless of the other party's pulling.

"It's none of your business to meddle in my affairs. Besides, weren't you away for a while yesterday?"

When Jackdaw Qi was about to pull, he was stopped by a human voice.

"What are you doing? Stop here and show your tokens."

A figure appeared on the house, looking at them vigilantly. At the same time, several other gazes fell on them, making people feel a chill.

The two men looked at each other and took out their tokens before being allowed to pass. As they walked forward, they were shocked to find that the guards were several times stricter than usual, with a guard every two steps.

Not daring to say anything more along the way, the two of them gathered in an underground hall as the men in black continued to arrive.

There are earthen walls on all sides, only one narrow entrance, no windows, and in the pitch darkness, only two torches flickering faintly.

After everyone arrived, a man dressed in black, with his face also covered, not even his eyes showing, stood at the front.

"Greetings, Lord Chief!!!"
