Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Whether it was between the lines or her chilling expression, Jiang Yunying's intense killing intent was evident, and these people naturally knew what she was going to do.

Eight men in black, each wielding a long sword, charged forward from different directions, shouting, "Sword Dance Lotus!"

The eight people formed a circle, with Jiang Yunying standing at the center, which was also the most dangerous place. Facing the enemy's fierce sword moves, she showed no fear, but instead revealed a wicked smile.

"As expected of the Lotus Palace, today I will show you the true Lotus Sword Technique!"

Jiang Yunying smiled coldly, her slender, jade-like hand gripping a long sword in mid-air.

"Lotus Sword Technique, First Form: Sword Dance with Lotus!" Jiang Yunying used the same sword move, only the lotus flower that the sword blade transformed into was larger and more beautiful.

Before long, the eight lotus flowers collided with Jiang Yunying's single lotus flower, creating a dazzling and spectacular display.

The eight men in black were terrified, feeling as if their entire bodies were about to be swallowed by the giant lotus flower. Despite the risk of injuring their arms, they forced their longswords out.

Despite facing eight opponents alone, Jiang Yunying's movements remained perfectly steady; in fact, she seemed to have plenty of energy left to spare.

"You're actually a disciple of the Lotus Palace!" one of them shouted angrily, pointing at Jiang Yunying, clearly regarding her as a traitor.

The Lotus Sword Technique is a unique skill of the Lotus Palace. It is impossible to learn without professional guidance. Moreover, Jiang Yunying's sword moves are more refined and proficient than theirs, making her a true disciple of the Lotus Palace.

Therefore, they concluded that Jiang Yunying should cooperate with them to complete the mission, rather than kill each other.

"You've reached the Blue Lotus level?"

Jiang Yunying gave the man a wicked look, her emotions slightly complicated.

Lotus Palace disciples are divided into many levels according to their strength. The lowest level is called Yellow Lotus, then Blue Lotus, and then White Lotus. Each time they advance to a higher level, their strength will increase significantly.

Of these eight people, all but one, Blue Lotus, are Yellow Lotus. This person almost accounts for half of the team's strength, so Jiang Yunying made him her primary target.

"I suppose you also possess the strength of the Blue Lotus. Let me witness your true power." The man sneered, stepped forward alone, and swiftly charged towards Jiang Yunying, his toes lightly touching the ground.

It must be said that this person's lightness skill was excellent, and his speed was as fast as the wind. After three or five changes, he had already arrived in front of Jiang Yunying. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sharply, "Lotus Blossom!"

This sword strike is a deadly move, somewhat like a sneak attack. The longsword is always hidden behind the back, and is suddenly drawn when the enemy is close, delivering a fatal blow.

Because this move is similar to a fleeting moment, it was named "Lotus Flash" by the Lotus Palace.

Jiang Yunying maintained a cold smile throughout, without moving an inch. When the opponent's longsword was only three feet away from her, a sharp sword also rushed out from behind Jiang Yunying.

Thud...

The blades of the two swords clashed together, producing a crisp sound. Under the powerful force, the man in black's arm trembled incessantly, while Jiang Yunying stood upright like a pine tree.

"break!"

With Jiang Yunying's soft shout, the man in black was instantly forced back more than ten steps, his heels hitting the ground. He staggered and sat down on the ground, his internal organs almost bleeding from the shock.

“You…you…” The man in black sitting on the ground stared at Jiang Yunying in disbelief, unable to utter a complete sentence.

In his view, both are blue lotuses and both bloom only briefly, so why is there such a big difference?

"Hmph! Blue lotus, huh?" Jiang Yunying's smile widened, but the murderous intent in her pupils grew stronger.

At the same time, the lower leg bends slightly, then straightens violently.

The next second, all the men in black were dumbfounded, unable to grasp Jiang Yunying's figure at all, as if a layer of fog had been shrouded in their vision.

"Lotus Sword Technique, Third Form: Viewing Flowers Through the Mist!" Jiang Yunying's voice rang out from all directions, seemingly threatening to surround the enemy.

At this moment, the man in black finally understood the meaning of the eight people being alone, which also foreshadowed the start of the eight-kill mode.

Upon hearing the resounding words "Seeing Flowers Through the Mist," the eight immediately gave up resistance. This was the symbol of their White Lotus status. Even if all eight of them were Blue Lotuses, they might not have a chance of winning, let alone with only one injured Blue Lotus.

As Jiang Yunying's voice drew closer, streaks of silvery-white light flashed through the thick fog, followed by screams of agony. All eight men had shallow cuts on their wrists and were no longer able to wield their swords.

A moment later, Jiang Yunying's true form reappeared. The eight men in black instinctively huddled together and retreated cautiously, but they had no intention of running away. The reason was simple: they knew they couldn't escape.

"We won't say anything, and we certainly won't teach you anything!" The Blue Lotus still had some backbone, though her voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Yunying smiled slightly, her cheeks as beautiful as the spider lilies that lead to hell, and said softly, "I didn't expect you to hand it over voluntarily, but rather to search it yourselves!"

As a master of the Lotus Palace, how could Jiang Yunying not know the consequences of betraying the Lotus Palace? Therefore, he was certain that these people would not reveal anything useful even if they died.

The eight people instantly sensed the presence of death, and in their terror, their pupils shrank to tiny dots. They naturally understood the meaning behind that smile.

"As a white lotus, don't you know the consequences of betraying the Lotus Palace?" the blue lotus demanded sharply, hoping to intimidate Jiang Yunying and force her to rejoin the Lotus Palace.

"Did they die from the poison? I do have very little antidote left, but... you should have plenty left." Jiang Yunying's face began to contort, and with a light slash of her longsword, she instantly slit the throats of eight people.

"Oh... I forgot something." Just as the eight people clutched their throats, dying, Jiang Yunying whispered, "It seems that six months ago I was no longer a white lotus, but... a black lotus!"

thump……

The eight men collapsed to the ground simultaneously, their horrified expressions revealing their inner fear. These few scoundrels had actually dared to try and fight a Black Lotus. Had they known this would happen, they would have fled even at the cost of their lives.

Based on her knowledge of the Lotus Palace, Jiang Yunying quickly found several bottles of pills on the group, but she still couldn't find the missing imperial edict from the City Lord's Mansion.

For Jiang Yunying, these pills only served to prolong her life, not to cure her underlying illness, and were even dispensable. The iron certificate, on the other hand, was related to the survival of the entire city lord's mansion and could not afford to make any mistakes.

Therefore, Jiang Yunying panicked, experiencing the first panic in her life, her strong heart seemingly swaying in a storm.

"A diversionary tactic! My husband is in danger!" Jiang Yunying blurted out in a panic, seemingly having little to do with the imperial edict.
