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

Finally, their sincerity and determination moved some sects with a sense of justice, and one after another, they joined their alliance.

During the process of forming the alliance, Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yun Yan did not stop investigating the evil forces.

They followed some clues found on the battlefield in the wilderness and tracked down an abandoned ancient castle.

The castle was filled with a foul smell, and the walls were engraved with all kinds of evil runes and patterns.

Here, they encountered some monsters eroded by dark forces. These monsters were once ordinary creatures, but after being transformed by evil forces, they became extremely ferocious.

Ling Xiuhan was the first to charge into the castle, his sword gleaming coldly in the darkness, each strike accurately repelling the monster's attack. Lan Yunyan, in the background, cast magic to support and protect Ling Xiuhan.

She summoned holy fire, burning any approaching monster to ashes, its glow illuminating the dark castle passages.

Deep in the castle, they found a huge magic circle. The magic circle exuded a strong dark aura, and it seemed that something was struggling and roaring inside the circle.

Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan approached the magic circle cautiously. Suddenly, a huge dark tentacle stretched out from the circle and swept towards them.

Ling Xiuhan reacted quickly, leaping high and slashing the tentacles with his sword. But then, more tentacles emerged from the formation.

Lan Yunyan formed seals with her hands, muttered something, and cast a powerful ice magic to temporarily freeze the tentacles.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Xiu Han rushed into the magic circle and saw a huge dark monster imprisoned in the circle. The monster's eyes were flashing with blood-red light. It was constantly absorbing the dark power in the magic circle, trying to break the seal.

Ling Xiu Han knew very well that if this demon beast escaped, it would bring a huge disaster to the continent.

He mobilized all the magic power in his body and poured it into the sword. The sword shone brightly. He shouted loudly and stabbed the sword into the core of the monster.

The monster let out an earth-shaking roar and struggled frantically, but under Ling Xiu Han's attack, its strength was gradually weakened.

Lan Yunyan also joined the battle. She and Ling Xiuhan cooperated with each other, and magic and swordsmanship were intertwined.

After a hard battle, they finally succeeded in resealing the monster and destroying the magic circle in the castle.

Back at the alliance headquarters, they discovered some disagreements within the alliance.

Some sects advocate taking the initiative to attack, find the nest of evil forces, and wipe them out in one fell swoop; while other sects believe that they should strengthen defenses and wait for the evil forces to reveal their flaws before taking action.

Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan knew that both views had their rationality, but the most important thing at the moment was to keep the alliance united.

They called together representatives from all factions in the alliance and held a meeting.

At the meeting, Ling Xiu Han analyzed the current situation in detail. He pointed out that although taking the initiative to attack is risky, it can seize the initiative in the war and avoid being defeated by evil forces. Strengthening defense is not a passive response. On the basis of good defense, small troops can be sent out for reconnaissance to find the enemy's weaknesses.

Lan Yunyan also spoke at the meeting, emphasizing the importance of alliance unity. "We come from different sects and factions, but at this moment we face a common enemy. Only by uniting as one can we defeat evil. If we are divided internally, we will surely fail."

After some discussion, the alliance finally reached a consensus and decided to adopt a strategy of both offense and defense.

On the one hand, they strengthened the defense of the alliance headquarters and the headquarters of various sects. On the other hand, they sent elite troops, led by Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan, to conduct in-depth investigations into the traces of evil forces and look for opportunities to launch attacks.

During a reconnaissance mission, they discovered a secret base of evil forces.

The stronghold is hidden in a valley, surrounded by various traps and magic barriers.

Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan formulated a detailed battle plan. They led the coalition forces to quietly approach the stronghold, and then used magic to break the traps and barriers.

After entering the stronghold, they encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy, who seemed well prepared, and attacked the coalition forces with all kinds of dark magic and weapons.

Ling Xiu Han led the charge, moving freely through the enemy lines, his sword dancing like a dragon, and enemies fell wherever he went.

Lan Yunyan launched a large-scale magic attack in the air. She combined the elemental magic of wind, fire, water, earth, etc. to form a powerful magic storm that swept across the entire stronghold.

At the critical moment of the battle, Ling Xiu Han discovered a weakness of the enemy. The source of their magical energy seemed to be a dark crystal.

As long as the crystal is destroyed, the enemy's power can be weakened. After he told Lan Yunyan about this discovery, the two decided to take a risk.

Ling Xiu Han rushed towards the location of the dark crystal, while Lan Yunyan stood behind him to block the enemy's attacks.

In the process of approaching the crystal, Ling Xiu Han encountered many obstacles, and the enemy sent their most powerful warriors to stop him.

But Ling Xiu Han was not afraid at all. He engaged in a thrilling battle with the enemy.

Finally, Ling Xiuhan broke through the enemy's defenses and arrived in front of the dark crystal. He concentrated all his magic power and stabbed the crystal with a sword.

The crystal emitted a dazzling light and then shattered.

As the crystal shattered, the enemy's strength was instantly weakened. The coalition forces took the opportunity to launch a final attack and completely wiped out the enemy.

The victory in this battle boosted the morale of the alliance and made more sects believe in Ling Xiuhan and Lan Yunyan's judgment and join the alliance.

As the alliance grows stronger, they are getting closer to their goal of completely defeating the forces of evil.

However, they also know clearly that there are more challenges and dangers waiting for them ahead, and they must always remain vigilant and prepare for the coming storm.

As the alliance continues to grow, Ling Xiu Han and Lan Yunyan know that they must take the initiative to find the core nest of the evil forces in order to completely destroy them.

After much exploration and intelligence gathering, they finally locked onto a mysterious ice field in the far north.
