"Things are indeed a bit bad." Cao Li's face also became solemn. "But as long as you are willing to cooperate with our Cao family, I will persuade my father to mobilize the entire clan to help you. Success or failure depends on this one move."

"Use the whole family's strength to help me? Will your father agree? Do you think it's possible?" Xie Jinglan looked at him in disbelief.

The interests of a large family are complicated and intertwined, and any decision needs to be carefully considered. Even if you take a wrong step, it is very likely that you will be doomed.

As the head of a large family, how could his father agree to mobilize the entire clan to help her? And this was a top family that was much more powerful than theirs! This was simply playing with the lives of the entire clan.

"I know you want to help me, I appreciate your kindness."

"I know you won't believe it." Cao Li said helplessly, "Although our Cao family is not in the same city as the Han family, our situation is similar to that of the Fu and Lei families.

Not only our Cao family, but all the families in the entire Xizhou must obey the Han family. Any disobedience will result in severe punishment or even direct extermination of the clan.

Not only that, half of the annual income must be handed over to the Han family as taxes, without any delay or concealment.

This unequal rule was like a heavy mountain weighing down on all the families, but they dared not speak out. Because the Han family was so powerful, no one dared to resist easily.

"So, your Cao family went to Guangyuan Continent at the behest of the Han family?" Xie Jinglan now understood what he had said yesterday. "What about the Lei family in Nanzhou? From what you just said, it seems you're also wary of them."

"Because the Han family and the Lei family are in the same boat. Han Mingyu's mother is the eldest daughter of the current head of the Lei family. Their two big families have achieved a closer combination through intermarriage from generation to generation, so as to form a strong alliance and prosper and suffer together." Cao Li said.

"So! As long as you offend the Han family, it is equivalent to offending the Lei family of Nanzhou?" The relationship between the nobles in this middle world is indeed much more complicated than that of Guangyuan Continent.

"I understand. I will consider this matter." Xie Jinglan said.

If her mother has fallen into the Lei family, then she and the Han family will not be on good terms, and she really needs help.

Seeing that she finally gave in, Cao Li felt relieved and stood up. "I'll go back first. If you need anything, you can find me at Cao's Restaurant. If I'm not here, please find the owner, Uncle Yu."

After saying that, he flashed and left through the rear window.

Xie Jinglan closed the window tightly and went into the space to practice.

At midnight, it was late at night, quiet and there was no moon.

After two murders occurred in Tiandu City, martial law was imposed from the evening of Xu. The entire Tiandu City was quiet, with only occasional teams of law enforcement officers patrolling by.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by and landed on a street. He walked slowly on the deserted street, and the dim light elongated his figure.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it waves of strange fragrance.

The black shadow suddenly stumbled, fell to one knee, and covered his chest with his hands.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Countless figures flashed out from the darkness and surrounded the person kneeling on the ground.

"Hmph! Bitch, let's see where you can run this time." A woman's vicious voice sounded. It was Han Mingyu who kowtowed to Xie Jinglan a hundred times during the day.

"Really?" The man kneeling on the ground slowly raised his head and looked at the people surrounding him. There were fifty or sixty of them, and their strength was between the early and late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"This is Tiandu City. How dare you take action here?"

"Killing a loser like you is a piece of cake. Why bother alerting the law enforcement officers?" Han Mingyu said as he stepped back a few steps and raised his hand to the people around him, "The Hunyuan Divine Sword is on her. Kill him, and whoever grabs the Divine Sword will own it."

Hearing this, the people around him looked greedy, drew their swords, and chopped down the man in the middle.

In an instant, sword shadows intersected, and sharp blade auras whizzed out, sweeping towards the man in the middle like a strong wind.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the void seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Han Mingyu stood by with a ferocious smile on his face, thinking that this man would be torn to pieces by the sword energy.

"You bastard, this is what happens when you dare to offend me. It's too easy for you to die like this. If we weren't in Tiandu City, I would have tortured you to death for three days and ground your bones into ashes."

Suddenly, the man disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Han Mingyu was immediately enraged. "Damn it! You actually let him get away? You're all useless! You can't even kill a wounded, early stage Spiritualization waste!"

One person said, "Miss, this person is a little weird."

"If you want the Hunyuan Divine Sword, then follow me out of the city!" A cold voice came.

Han Mingyu pointed, "He's heading out of the city, chase him!"

When they heard that there really was a Hunyuan Divine Sword, everyone quickly rushed after it.

Twenty miles outside Tiandu City, Xie Jinglan stood in an open field, looking at the dozens of people who had caught up with her. She sneered, "You bunch of losers, you made me wait too long. The Han family is nothing special."

Han Mingyu was walking at the back. Seeing that she was fine, his expression changed. "You weren't poisoned?"

"You talk too much nonsense!" Xie Jinglan summoned the Hunyuan Divine Sword, grasped the hilt and slowly drew out the sword.

As the sword left the scabbard inch by inch, it was as if a sleeping dragon was slowly waking up, containing mysterious energy, shaking the surrounding air, and accompanied by a dragon roar, like a call from ancient times.

"Oh my god! It's really the Hunyuan Divine Sword. I really saw the Divine Sword."

Those dozens of people made surprised noises, with a determined look in their eyes.

Han Mingyu was also stunned. She said that Xie Jinglan had the Hunyuan Divine Sword and just wanted someone to hunt her down. She didn't expect that what she said was actually true.

How could this be possible? How could the legendary Hunyuan Divine Sword end up in the hands of such a lowly person?

Xie Jinglan paused halfway through drawing her sword, her dark eyes sweeping over the people. "The Hunyuan Divine Sword is here. Anyone who wants it can come up and take it."

"It's really the Hunyuan Divine Sword. Let's go together and kill him." Han Mingyu said.

Since it is a magic sword, it must belong to their Han family. She will wait until these people get it and then take action to kill them all.

"Kill him! We can't let him get away this time!"

Xie Jinglan was surrounded by these people again.

"Since you seek death, then sacrifice your blood to my sword."

Xie Jinglan suddenly drew out her sword, and in an instant, a powerful aura gushed out from the sword.

She leaped up and slashed the sword through the air.

In an instant, the sword energy emitted a heart-pounding pressure.

"Ah ah ah..."

There was a burst of screams.

Several bodies were lying in a pool of blood.

Seeing the might of the sword, the people following behind were shocked and retreated.

Han Mingyu was anxious and shouted, "Hurry up! Don't let him get away with the magic sword again!"
