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

Seeing this, Ling Xiu Han's eyes turned cold, and his hands quickly changed the magic formulas. Black magic patterns shot out from his hands and attached to the magic weapon, enhancing its power.

Lan Yunyan did not dare to slack off. She held the magic sword in her hand and continuously injected her own magic power into the sword. The magic sword hummed and emitted a dazzling blue light.

She seized the opportunity, let out a delicate cry, and swung her sword towards the light curtain. The moment the immortal sword and the light curtain made contact, a burst of brilliant sparks flew, and Lan Yunyan felt a powerful recoil, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, continuously urging her immortal power, coordinating with Ling Xiuhan's strength to attack the light curtain together.

Under their combined attack, cracks gradually appeared in the light curtain, and the cracks spread like a spider web.

Finally, with a loud bang, the light curtain shattered and turned into points of light that dissipated in the air.

However, as soon as they stepped into the mountain, a group of puppet guards formed by immortal power swarmed out.

These puppets were tall and exuded a cold aura. The weapons in their hands flashed with cold light as they attacked Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan in unison.

Ling Xiuhan flashed, charging into the swarm of puppets like a ghost. His black robes danced in the wind, and his magic sword was unsheathed. Every strike of his sword evoked a stream of black sword energy, crisscrossing and slicing through the approaching puppets.

But these puppets were numerous and seemed endless, coming one after another.

Lan Yunyan used her magic. She waved her hand lightly and chanted a spell. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly gathered and turned into spiritual blades that flew towards the group of puppets.

At the same time, she controlled the magic sword to fly in the air. The magic sword was like a nimble dragon, shuttling between the puppets. Wherever it passed, the puppets' limbs were scattered on the ground.

"Hmph, these puppets are just minions. Watch how I destroy them!" Ling Xiu Han shouted domineeringly. His figure suddenly rose taller, and magic light shone around him. A powerful magic wave spread out from him.

The puppets were impacted by the fluctuations of magic power and their movements became slow.

Ling Xiu Han took the opportunity to perform an extremely domineering magic skill. He held the magic sword in both hands and drew a huge circle in the air. The black light in the circle swirled like a whirlpool, generating a powerful suction force that sucked the surrounding puppets in and then crushed them with magic power.

Lan Yunyan was filled with both admiration and gratitude at Ling Xiuhan's bravery. She sped up her immortal arts, boosting her own immortal power to its maximum.

There was a blue light flashing in her eyes, and her whole body seemed to be integrated with the world.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Lan Yunyan attracted the power of thunder and lightning. Thick lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the group of puppets accurately, turning large numbers of puppets into powder in an instant.

After a hard battle, they finally broke through the puppet's defense line and continued to go deeper into the fairy mountain.

As they walked along the winding mountain road, the surrounding scenery became increasingly quiet and mysterious. Strange fairy beasts appeared from time to time, but under the intimidation of Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan's powerful aura, they fled.

When they reached the mountainside, a magnificent palace appeared before them. The palace gate was tightly closed, and the door was engraved with various runes and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Lan Yunyan recognized at a glance that these runes were the family's unique forbidden runes, and their complexity was far beyond what she had seen before.

Ling Xiuhan stepped forward and examined it carefully, then turned to Lan Yunyan and said, "The restrictions on this door are extremely powerful. Breaking through it by force might trigger a trap. We need to find a way to break it."

Lan Yunyan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I have seen similar rune records in the ancient family books. Maybe I can try to decipher it with the power of blood." After that, she walked forward and stretched out her hand to gently touch the door.

The moment her fingertips touched the door, a soft light shone from her hands and slowly flowed along the runes on the door.

However, just when the light was halfway flowing, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded, and countless sharp arrows shot out from the walls on both sides of the gate, shooting towards them like raindrops.

Ling Xiu Han reacted quickly. He pulled Lan Yunyan behind him, and his black robe fluttered, forming a black shield in front of him. The sharp arrows hit the shield, making a tinkling sound and sparks flying.

"It seems that the power of this bloodline is not enough. We have to find another way." Ling Xiuhan said coldly.

He scanned the surroundings, trying to find a flaw in the mechanism. Suddenly, he noticed a tile on the steps in front of the palace gate that was slightly different in color from the surrounding tiles, as if someone had tampered with it.

Ling Xiuhan walked over and squatted down to examine it carefully. He tapped the floor tiles lightly and heard a hollow sound from underneath.

The corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a confident smile: "Found it, this should be the key to the mechanism."

He stood up, channeled his magical powers, and stomped his foot hard on the floor tiles. There was a rumbling sound, and the ground in front of the gate slowly cracked, revealing a hidden compartment before them.

In the secret compartment was placed a crystal stone emitting colorful light, and the crystal stone was engraved with dense runes.

Lan Yunyan walked forward, picked up the crystal stone, and examined it carefully. She found that the runes on the stone corresponded to the forbidden runes on the door, and seemed to be the key to unlocking the restriction.

She tried to inject her soul power into the crystal stone. The light of the crystal stone became more and more dazzling, and the runes gradually broke away from the crystal stone, flew to the gate, and merged with the runes on the door.

As the runes merged, the gate slowly opened, and a powerful force surged from the palace. Lan Yunyan and Ling Xiuhan exchanged a glance and cautiously entered the palace.

There was a thin layer of mist in the palace, and something seemed to be swaying in the mist.

Suddenly, an illusory figure walked out of the fog. It was Lan Yunyan's grandfather.

His expression was stern, his eyes revealing majesty and anger: "How dare you trespass here? Don't you know that this is a family taboo?"

Lan Yunyan looked at the illusory figure in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart.

Her eyes were fixed on the figure, trying to find a trace of warmth in that stern face.
