The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Xiao Wan Ning suddenly turned around, and a figure slowly walked out from the corner of the room.

"Lan'er!" A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Wan's eyes, followed by a cold laugh. "You've got some nerve, daring to come see me alone."

“Your Highness is mistaken,” Lan’er said expressionlessly. “I didn’t come alone.”

Just as she finished speaking, the sounds of fighting erupted outside. Jiang Lingyun rushed in frantically: "Master, something terrible has happened! There are assassins..."

"boom!"

The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and several men in black rushed in. Jiang Lingyun immediately drew his sword and stood protectively in front of Xiao Wanning.

"Unexpected, isn't it?" Lan'er said coldly. "You sent me to monitor Murong Xuewei, but you didn't know that Murong Xuewei's sincerity would move people's hearts. What's even more unexpected is that the Nanzhao secret service had long been dissatisfied with you."

Xiao Wanning's eyes sharpened: "What do you mean?"

"We all know that all these years you've been using the Nanzhao banner to do your own thing," Lan'er said, closing in step by step. "The Qifu Palace? Ha, it's just an excuse you made up."

Xiao Wan Ning suddenly burst into laughter: "Naive! You think you can threaten me like this?" She abruptly pulled a bronze mirror from her sleeve. "Do you know what this is?"

Lan'er's expression changed drastically: "This is..."

“That’s right, this is the genuine token of the Blessing Palace,” Xiao Wanning said proudly. “You said I made up the Blessing Palace? Then what about this?”

She raised the bronze mirror, and a strange light flashed. Lan'er and the several men in black immediately felt dizzy.

"Master!" Upon seeing this, Jiang Lingyun immediately seized the opportunity to strike, subduing the swaying man in black with a few sword strikes.

"You..." Lan'er struggled to stay upright, "What exactly do you want to do...?"

Xiao Wan Ning put away the bronze mirror and sneered, "You'll find out soon enough." She turned to Jiang Ling Yun, "Lock them all up, don't let them ruin our plans."

Just then, a subordinate rushed over: "Master, Murong Xuewei is here!"

"Oh?" Xiao Wan Ning raised an eyebrow. "Sooner than I expected." She looked at Lan'er. "Perfect, let you see how the people you serve die. Jiang Lingyun, take them with you."

Outside the courtyard, Murong Xuewei stood with her sword drawn. Looking at the building before her, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes: "Xiao Wanning, it's time for our feud to end..."

Xiao Wan Ning slowly walked out of the courtyard with a bronze mirror in her hand, followed by Jiang Ling Yun and several guards who were holding Lan'er.

"I knew you'd come." Xiao Wan Ning's lips curled into a cold smile. "What, you didn't bring Gu Ye with you this time?"

Murong Xuewei's gaze swept over Lan'er, then fell upon the bronze mirror in Xiao Wanning's hand: "A token from the Qifu Palace?"

“Indeed,” Xiao Wanning said, toying with the bronze mirror in her hand, “You should be quite familiar with the treasures left behind by the previous dynasty’s royal family, right?”

Murong Xuewei's eyes narrowed. She had indeed seen this bronze mirror in her previous life, but she never expected it to be in Xiao Wanning's hands.

"So your goal from the very beginning was the treasure of the previous dynasty?"

"Treasure?" Xiao Wan Ning chuckled lightly. "That's just a byproduct. What I want is the power to make the world submit." She held up the bronze mirror. "Like this..."

A strange light flashed, but Murong Xuewei remained motionless.

Xiao Wanning's expression changed: "How is that possible?"

"Did you think I would come to you unprepared?" Murong Xuewei slowly took out a jade pendant from her bosom. "This was given to me by Gu Ye; it can counteract the power of the bronze mirror."

“Gu Ye…” Xiao Wan Ning gritted her teeth, “He really knew everything.”

“He not only knows,” Murong Xuewei stepped forward, sword in hand, “he’s currently leading troops to surround this place. Xiao Wanning, do you think you still have a chance?”

Xiao Wan Ning suddenly burst into laughter: "You think I care about these things?" She abruptly turned and grabbed Lan'er by the neck. "Want to save her? Then give me the jade pendant!"

Murong Xuewei frowned slightly. At that moment, an arrow suddenly shot from the shadows, aiming straight for Xiao Wanning's wrist. Xiao Wanning was forced to release her grip, and Lan'er immediately seized the opportunity to break free.

"Master!" Jiang Lingyun was about to step forward when he saw this, but was stopped by Liuli who suddenly appeared.

“Your opponent is me,” Liuli said coldly.

Xiao Wan Ning looked at Gu Ye, who emerged from the shadows, a ruthless glint in her eyes: "Good timing! Perfect opportunity to show you my true power..."

She raised the bronze mirror and began chanting strange incantations...

Suddenly, a blinding light shone from the bronze mirror, accompanied by Xiao Wan Ning's incantation, and a strange power began to permeate the courtyard.

"Not good!" Gu Ye's expression changed. "Everyone, stand back!"

But it was too late. Cracks began to appear in the ground where the light shone, and wisps of black energy seeped out from the cracks. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Lingyun retreated to Xiao Wanning's side, a ferocious smile on his face.

"Do you think I'll surrender so easily?" Xiao Wan Ning's voice became ethereal and eerie. "The power of the Blessing Palace is far more than this!"

The black mist gradually condensed into human form, which turned out to be several soldiers dressed in ancient costumes. Murong Xuewei's pupils shrank as she recognized that these soldiers were dressed in the attire of the Imperial Guards of the previous dynasty.

"This is the secret of the Qifu Palace," Xiao Wanning said smugly, "to summon soldiers who died in battle in the previous dynasty to serve under our own rule."

Gu Ye's eyes sharpened: "So that's how it is. No wonder Father Emperor ordered the sealing of the Qifu Palace back then..."

"The previous emperor was far too benevolent," Xiao Wan Ning sneered. "Such power should be put to good use!"

Before he could finish speaking, the dark figures pounced on Murong Xuewei and the others. Gu Ye raised his sword to block, but found that these dark figures were completely impervious to damage, quickly reforming after being severed.

“Xue Wei,” Gu Ye said in a deep voice, “ordinary weapons are ineffective against them; only…”

“I understand.” Murong Xuewei gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand. This jade pendant was a national treasure of the previous dynasty, said to be able to suppress the power of evil spirits.

Just then, Xiao Wan Ning suddenly let out a scream. Everyone looked at her and saw that Lan Er had somehow gotten behind her, and a dagger was pressed against her back.

"You..." Xiao Wan Ning tried to struggle, but Lan'er held her tightly.

"My master has had me monitor you for so long, just to find a weakness!" Lan'er said coldly. "Now, put down the bronze mirror!"

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyun tried to rush to the rescue, but Liuli held him back tightly: "Your opponent is here!"

Xiao Wanning watched as Murong Xuewei approached step by step, then suddenly burst into wild laughter: "You think this is the end?"

She suddenly smashed the bronze mirror on the ground.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the ground in the courtyard collapsed instantly. Everyone was caught off guard and fell into the deep pit...
