Lin Yu and the mysterious man froze, their steps halting instantly. They stood motionless, as if frozen in place. Both held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the direction from which the footsteps were coming.

The footsteps approached from afar, each step seeming to pound on one's heart, sounding exceptionally clear and heavy in the utter silence. Lin Yu subconsciously gripped the spirit sword in his hand; he could feel his palms beginning to sweat slightly. The mysterious figure beside him dared not relax in the slightest, holding his staff high with both hands, the tip gleaming faintly, clearly prepared to deal with any unexpected situation and face any unknown danger.

Finally, under the tense gazes of everyone, a figure slowly emerged from the swirling mist. Upon seeing who it was, everyone present gasped – it was an incredibly alluring woman! Her figure was graceful and slender, her waist as delicate as a willow swaying in the wind; a thin gauze dress lightly draped her exquisite body, revealing glimpses of her fair skin, as smooth and delicate as white jade. Her face was truly breathtaking; her arched eyebrows resembled the dark green of distant mountains, beautiful and captivating; her eyes held a deep, mesmerizing brilliance, their movement alluring and mesmerizing; her naturally cherry-red lips were slightly upturned, a half-smile that was enigmatic and unfathomable. Yet, deep within this woman of unparalleled beauty lay a mysterious and chillingly dangerous aura.

"Who goes there? How dare you play tricks here!" Lin Yu broke the silence first, channeling his inner strength as he shouted at the woman.

The mysterious man beside him lowered his voice and said to Lin Yu, "Be careful, brother! I sense that this woman's aura is very strange, she is definitely not a good person, we must not act rashly."

Facing Lin Yu's questioning, the woman seemed not to hear him, remaining quietly standing in place. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, forming a smile that was not quite a smile, and she stood there facing Lin Yu and the others, making the atmosphere increasingly tense.

Lin Yu couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to see the other person's true face clearly. Just then, the woman suddenly let out a delicate shout, her hands waving, and pink light instantly burst forth from her hands, forming dazzling peach blossoms that shot towards Lin Yu and the mysterious man. Each peach blossom contained immense power, tearing apart the air wherever it passed.

Lin Yu reacted swiftly, wielding his spirit sword to create a curtain of swords that knocked the peach blossoms down. The mysterious man was not to be outdone; with a wave of his staff, a blue ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the subsequent attacks.

Seeing this, the woman gave a coquettish snort: "You've got some skill." She flashed and appeared behind Lin Yu like a ghost, her jade hand forming a claw, aiming straight for Lin Yu's back.

Sensing the danger behind him, Lin Yu lunged forward, turning to thrust his sword. The woman nimbly dodged, lightly touching the ground with her jade-like feet, and launched another attack. Her speed was incredibly fast, dazzling to behold.

Taking advantage of the moment, the mysterious man cast a spell, and bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the woman. The woman let out a coquettish cry, and a bright pink light shone forth, forming a shield that blocked all the lightning.

The battle intensified, and the woman's attacks became increasingly fierce. Each of her attacks was accompanied by a delicate moan, a captivating sound that momentarily disoriented Lin Yu and the mysterious man.

"Hmph, prepare to die!" A woman's delicate shout rang out, her voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's song, yet the killing intent within it sent chills down one's spine. At the same time, light flashed in her hand, dazzling like stars in the night sky. This light rapidly converged, transforming in the blink of an eye into a long, pink whip, which lashed out fiercely at Lin Yu and the mysterious man like a serpent's tongue.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, Lin Yu and the mysterious man dared not be careless in the slightest. They quickly focused their attention and concentrated on dealing with the situation. Both of them went all out, exerting their full strength in an attempt to resist the incredibly powerful pink whip.

Lin Yu's eyes were sharp as he intently watched the woman's movements, searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Finally, he spotted a tiny opening in her attack and, without hesitation, swung his spirit sword, thrusting it towards her like lightning. The woman reacted swiftly, dodging Lin Yu's strike with a swift movement. However, despite her effort, the sharpness of the spirit sword still left a shallow wound on her delicate, fair arm.

"Ouch!" the woman couldn't help but exclaim, a flash of annoyance in her eyes. Clearly, she hadn't expected to be injured in front of her opponent. However, she quickly suppressed this annoyance, replacing it with an even more formidable aura.

At this moment, the mysterious figure who had been waiting for an opportunity saw this and decisively made his move. He chanted incantations, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, unleashing an extremely powerful spell. In an instant, an enormous ice pillar descended from the sky, carrying immense force, crashing straight down towards the woman.

Faced with this crushing blow, the woman snorted coldly, a disdainful expression on her face, and said coquettishly, "Is that all you've got? You dare to show off in front of me!" With that, she suddenly waved her hands, and pink light erupted like a volcanic eruption. This powerful force instantly shattered the huge ice pillar into countless ice crystals that scattered in all directions.

After a fierce battle with the mysterious man and the woman, Lin Yu and the mysterious man gradually began to feel their strength waning. After all, a prolonged and intense battle was taking a heavy toll on their physical and magical power. At this moment, their breathing became increasingly rapid, large beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their steps gradually became heavy.

However, just when they thought they were about to give up, the woman unexpectedly stopped attacking. She stood quietly in place, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yu and the mysterious man before her, and slowly said, "You have managed to fight me this far, so you do have some skill." Her voice was still soft and pleasant, but it subtly revealed a hint of coldness, as if it were an acknowledgment of the enemy's strength, or a warning.

Lin Yu gasped for breath, his chest heaving. He stared wide-eyed at the mysterious woman before him, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Who...who are you? Why did you attack us for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, the woman chuckled softly, her laughter clear and melodious, like the tinkling of silver bells. She parted her lips slightly and said slowly, "Hehe, I am the owner of this castle. You uninvited guests have so recklessly trespassed into my territory and even accidentally triggered the mechanisms here. How could I not teach such an offense a lesson?"

Having said that, her beautiful eyes flickered, lingering on Lin Yu for a moment before shifting to the mysterious person who had come with him. At that moment, Lin Yu and the mysterious person exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness in their eyes. They hadn't expected to encounter such a situation here, and faced with this woman who claimed to be the castle's owner, they were momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
