The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

The masters of the Lan Mansion also engaged in fierce battles with the killers. For a while, the mill was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.

During the battle, Lan Yunyan noticed that one of the killers' movements was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. She carefully observed him while dealing with his attacks.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had seen this killer talking with a Baiyin Palace leader during the attack on the Baiyin Palace stronghold, which made her realize that this killer might hold important clues.

Lan Yunyan decided to capture the killer alive. She used a set of exquisite sword techniques to force back the surrounding killers, and then rushed towards the target killer.

Seeing this, the killer tried to escape, but Lan Yunyan was faster. She rushed forward and struck the killer in the back of the neck with the hilt of her sword, knocking him unconscious.

After dealing with the other killers, Lan Yunyan and others brought the captured killer back to the Lan Mansion. After some interrogation, the killer finally revealed the truth.

It turned out that before the demise of Baiyin Palace, it had already arranged hidden forces in various places. These forces were waiting for the opportunity to regroup and avenge Baiyin Palace.

Moreover, they are secretly colluding with some small gangs in the underworld in an attempt to expand their influence.

Lan Yunyan knew that she had to dismantle these hidden forces as soon as possible, otherwise the Lan Mansion would fall into crisis again. Based on the clues provided by the killer, she began to investigate the small gangs that were in collusion with Baiyin Palace.

During the investigation, she found that these small gangs were distributed in different areas, some in the mountains and some in the dark corners of bustling towns.

They first came to a gang stronghold in the mountains, which was hidden behind a dense forest and surrounded by sentries and traps.

Lan Yunyan and others carefully avoided traps and quietly approached the stronghold. When they approached the stronghold, they found that the gang members were performing a mysterious ceremony.

A huge fire was burning in the square of the stronghold, and gang members gathered around the fire, chanting something.

In the center of the fire, there were some strange objects, including animal skulls, flags covered with runes, etc.

Lan Yunyan realized that this might be an evil ritual to enhance their power or some kind of connection with Baiyin Palace.

She decided to launch a surprise attack before the ceremony was complete. At Lan Yunyan's command, the masters of the Lan Mansion rushed towards the gang members like tigers descending from the mountains.

The gang members were thrown into disarray by the sudden attack, but they quickly reacted, picked up their weapons and started fighting with Lan Yunyan and the others.

The fighting power of these gang members should not be underestimated. They are good at using various strange weapons and can also cast some strange spells in battle.

Some gang members can spit fire from their mouths, while others can summon fog to confuse the enemy. In battle, Lan Yunyan has to deal with the enemy's attacks and break their spells, which puts him under tremendous pressure.

During the fierce battle, Lan Yunyan discovered that the gang members' spells seemed to be related to the items in the fire.

She decided to take a risk and rushed towards the fire, intending to destroy the items. Seeing this, the gang members tried to stop Lan Yunyan.

But Lan Yunyan relied on his superb swordsmanship and tenacious will to break through the enemy's defense line and came to the campfire.

She swung her sword at the strange objects, and as the objects shattered, the power of the gang members' spells was significantly weakened.

The masters of the Lan Mansion took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack, gradually gaining the upper hand. After a fierce battle, they successfully destroyed the gang's stronghold.

However, this was just the beginning. Lan Yunyan and others continued to track down other gangs that were colluding with Baiyin Palace. In the underground of a prosperous town, they discovered the secret base of another gang.

This stronghold is located in the basement of a restaurant, and the entrance to the basement is hidden behind a secret door in a wine cellar.

Lan Yunyan and others sneaked into the restaurant through clever disguise and then found the entrance to the basement.

When they opened the secret door and entered the basement, a strong smell of blood hit them. The basement was dimly lit, with chains and torture instruments hanging on the walls and some dried blood on the ground.

Suddenly, a miserable cry came from deep in the basement. Lan Yunyan and others followed the direction of the sound and discovered a horrific scene.

In a large room, several gang members were torturing some innocent people. The people were covered with wounds and in great pain.

Lan Yunyan rushed towards the gang members without hesitation. When the gang members saw Lan Yunyan and others, they showed a ferocious smile.

"Lan Yunyan, you are finally here. This is where you will be buried!" As they said this, they put down the people in their hands and picked up weapons to fight with Lan Yunyan and others.

These gang members were more brutal and ferocious than those they had encountered before. They showed no scruples in the fight, even willing to trade injuries for injuries. Lan Yunyan was filled with rage, and her swordsmanship became even more fierce, with each strike carrying a powerful force.

During the fight, she saw a gang member about to attack an injured civilian. She used her lightness skills to instantly appear in front of the gang member and pierced his chest with a sword.

The masters of the Lan Mansion also fought a desperate battle with the gang members. In order to protect innocent people, they disregarded their own safety.

After a fierce battle, they finally eliminated all members of the gang and rescued the tortured people.

While continuing to track down the remnants of the Baiyin Palace, Lan Yunyan and others encountered a powerful opponent, a mysterious swordsman who always appeared at the critical moment to help the remnants of the Baiyin Palace escape.

Lan Yunyan had fought with him several times, and he cleverly avoided her attacks every time.

Once, when Lan Yunyan and others were tracking a group of remnants of Baiyin Palace, they came to a narrow valley.

There were steep cliffs on both sides of the valley, and only one path was accessible. When they entered the valley, a mysterious swordsman suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

The mysterious swordsman wore a black cloak and a conical hat, his face unclear. He held a slender sword in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
