Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

To further ensure Su Yang has more assistance in his future training and ability improvement journey, Die'er set her sights on Lin Anlan's demonic physique and asked Su Yang to rescue Lin Anlan. To this end, she asked Su Yang to activate the power of the mist element and use it to approach Lin Anlan. Su Yang acted according to Die'er's instructions. Yuwen Rongxuan and his sister had been paying attention to the battle, and the people in the middle of the battle naturally did not notice Su Yang's actions. So Su Yang quietly approached, knocked out the healer, and took Lin Anlan back to their previous hiding place.

With the help of Die'er and Linglong, and thanks to Lin Anlan's unstable mental state, Su Yang was able to complete the mental invasion. After entering the room, Su Yang saw this scene. He couldn't figure out why, but instinctively he reached out and grabbed Lin Anlan's last hand that was about to disappear into the darkness. He braced one foot against the door frame and pulled her out with all his might.

After pulling hard, Su Yang realized that he might have a chance and continued to exert force. Little did he know that this was consuming his mental energy. Fortunately, he had seen many new things along the way, which constantly honed Su Yang's mental energy, greatly improving its strength and breadth. This allowed him to easily drag Lin Anlan away from the darkness.

Li Anlan felt someone pulling her back, and involuntarily clenched that hand tightly, desperately trying to get out. Su Yang also sensed her thoughts and pulled back with all his might. Amidst the unwilling roar of "Mother," Lin Anlan was completely pulled out of the darkness, and the inertia caused both of them to fall to the ground.

Not far away, Xiao Anlan saw Lin Anlan emerge from the darkness and stopped crying, looking at her with a smile. In her daze, Lin Anlan saw her younger self waving at her, then turning and disappearing. Immediately afterward, she closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the real world, lying in the arms of a strange man. The man was rubbing her temples with one hand, as if he was very tired. Lin Anlan wanted to say something, but her injuries and broken bones prevented her from speaking. Her vision went black and she fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yang's head was throbbing with pain. If he had known it would take so much mental energy, he would never have risked saving this strange woman. Su Yang had no choice but to rest and recover his mental energy.

Yuwen Rongxuan observed the battle on the field, and occasionally glanced at Lin Anlan's position. He was startled and exclaimed to Yuwen Zuoqing, "Where did that woman go!"

Yuwen Zuoqing looked over and was also startled: "Yes, where is he? He was just here!"

As soon as the words were spoken, another explosion rang out, and the remaining three members of the Blood Squad were all thrown out. The long battle had taken its toll on the Rock Beast. Although it was a ferocious beast, it instinctively wanted to avoid death. At this moment, it had already felt the threat of death. After a desperate attack, it prepared to run away. However, it had only taken two steps back when two blue lights flashed at the same time. Two water element shockwaves shot out from two different openings in the cave and hit its feet, knocking it to the ground.

This situation shocked everyone present; how could such a dangerous place have such a powerful figure arrive?

Two groups of people emerged from the two cave entrances. One group, all clad in black robes, was the newly formed First Action Team, led by Zheng Jun, the deputy director of the Human Martial Arts Division, consisting of eight men. The other group, well-equipped and clad in heavy armor, carrying sharp spears and heavy shields, filed out of the cave entrance in single file, numbering about thirty or forty men. After this group of armored warriors had formed ranks, a man emerged from the formation, clad in jet-black iron armor and wielding a large halberd. He was undeniably imposing, yet this caused Yuwen Rongxuan, who was secretly observing, to frown deeply. The newcomer was none other than Yin Tianbao, the city lord of Bailu City.

"This is going to be fun, Su Yang, come and watch the show!" Die'er nudged Su Yang, urging him to get up and watch the spectacle.

"Let me see." Su Yang sat up and crouched behind the rock to observe.

Yin Tianbao was clearly taken aback by the situation before him. According to the intelligence, there was no Branding Rock Beast here, but another S-class ferocious beast that was much weaker than the Branding Rock Beast. Yin Tianbao's original plan was to use the false information about the Branding Rock Beast to lure the Blood Squad to show themselves. He knew how strong the attraction of the Branding Rock Beast was to the Blood Squad, so he hosted a banquet and had them drink fruit wine containing beast-attracting powder and a spirit-dissolving drug that could slowly divide their spiritual power. Then he would organize and summarize the false information and hand it over to them.

Although it was false intelligence, only the information about the Branding Beast was fake; the rest of the information was true. In Yin Tianbao's plan, he would use various ferocious beasts and medicinal effects to wear down the Blood Squad's combat strength along the way. Then, he would arrange for the Orange-level adventurers, the Yuwen siblings, to assassinate the Blood Squad after they killed the S-level ferocious beast. He would then intervene to save the Blood Squad, forcing the exhausted Blood Squad to sign slave contracts. He would then kill the Yuwen siblings and use this as a pretext to return to the country and force the Yuwen family to withdraw, thus clearing the way for his affiliated family, the Wu family, to advance.

He had not only won over the Blood Squad and made them absolutely obedient, thus strengthening the empire's combat power, but also enhanced his family's influence and status, and even dealt with the Yuwen family. It was a perfect situation with three goals at once, but now it has turned into this.

Yin Tianbao's heart was bleeding, but his surface remained perfectly calm. He glanced at the Blood Squad members lying on the ground; there were only four of them. Judging from the severed limbs, one must have already perished. Lin Anlan was nowhere to be seen. He then looked at the eight black-robed figures standing opposite him. Their origins were unknown, but they exuded an aura that was enough to rival his own—they were also a problem. He glanced at the Rock-Bladed Beasts in the distance, which were now crawling away. Finally, he glanced at the hiding place of the Yuwen siblings, and Yin Tianbao instantly decided on the priorities for dealing with the problems.

"Although it was a private mobilization, I brought thirty Tier 4 Imperial Elite Soldiers, eight Tier 5 Guards, and two Tier 6 Generals. Regardless of their strength, they are no match for me in terms of mere physical condition. I will spare the lives of the Yuwen siblings for now, and then kill them after I have investigated the situation. First, I will eliminate that useless squad, and then deal with the Rock-Bladed Beast and this group of black-robed men." After making his decision, Yin Tianbao immediately issued the kill order.

殷天豹安排了4名锐士解决鲜血小队众人，完成击杀后立刻两两一组分别协助其他两队，另有4名近卫协同11名锐士共同前去击杀烙岩兽，殷天豹本人及剩余2名6阶将军、4名5阶近卫、15名锐士则共同剿灭绝缘者的第一行动队。

After the order was given, the well-trained elite soldiers immediately took action. The four soldiers rushed towards the Blood Squad members and, with a swift stroke, beheaded them. The Blood Squad, which had a notorious reputation, disappeared from that moment on.

The battles at the other two locations also erupted instantly. The already weakened Rock Beasts had no more elemental power to resist the attacks and could only barely hold on with their stone hides. However, the Tier 5 Guards and Elite Warriors were at their peak, so the attacks never stopped. On Yin Tianbao's side, 24 people had successfully surrounded the 8 Insulators. The well-trained elite warriors coordinated perfectly, and the Guards were veterans who had been promoted to Guards through countless battles. On the Insulators' side, Zheng Jun already possessed equipment comparable to Tier 6, and the 7 captains he led were close to Tier 6 in strength. Therefore, it was impossible to say which side had the advantage; their strengths were merely evenly matched.

"Charge! Annihilate them!" With Yin Tianbao's order, the guards and elite soldiers formed ranks and charged forward.

"Activate the device!" Zheng Jun shouted, and the eight men simultaneously revealed the small devices at their waists. A surge of elemental power erupted, and a great battle between the two sides was about to break out.
