Peng Jun stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "Let's leave it at that for now. Whether Yao'er can return safely depends on his own luck."

At the same time, Xiao Zhixue had brought the unconscious Peng Yao to Tiger Leaping Cliff, a secret place deep in the mountains.

She waved her hand lightly, took Peng Yao out of the space ring, and threw him on the ground casually.

With a light touch of the finger, Peng Yao suddenly woke up from his coma.

As soon as he opened his eyes, before he could figure out where he was, he habitually called out, "Bihe, come and help the young master relieve himself."

When Xiao Zhixue heard this domineering order, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. She raised her leg and kicked Peng Yao several feet away.

Peng Yao was kicked so hard that he felt dizzy. His stomach churned and his dinner gushed out instantly.

"Who is so blind as to dare to kick me? Are you tired of living?"

"Who do you think is your boss?"

The clear female voice responded coldly.

This question made Peng Yao completely sober. He struggled to sit up and actually wanted to stand, but the severe pain in his abdomen made him unable to move at all.

He looked up at the night sky. Although the moonlight was dim, he could barely make out the silhouette of a person, but he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

Xiao Zhixue didn't like nonsense, so she took out a mantra pill and fed it to Peng Yao.

Soon, the effect of the drug took effect, and Peng Yao's eyes became dull, staring blankly at Xiao Zhixue.

"Did you capture His Royal Highness Prince An of the imperial court a few days ago?"

Peng Yao couldn't help but answer honestly: "Yes, they killed many of our Anshun Villa members."

Xiao Zhixue's face darkened: "So, where is Prince An now?"

Peng Yao told the truth: "He is in Xiaoyao Valley, ten miles away from the villa."

Xiao Zhixue had mixed feelings. Why did she send Prince An to Xiaoyao Valley?

What secrets are hidden here?

A storm surrounding power struggles and family honor seems to be about to begin.

Peng Yao's voice trembled slightly, as if he was still frightened when he mentioned this matter. "The depths of Xiaoyao Valley are shrouded in mist. Legend has it that there is a mysterious ghost doctor who behaves strangely and likes to use living people as medicinal materials for experiments in order to explore the secret of the elixir of immortality."

"Do you know the exact location?"

Xiao Zhixue asked, her eyes flickering with determination, as if she had made up her mind to find out the truth no matter what.

"To the southeast, more than ten miles away from here, along the winding mountain road, through a dense forest, you can see a deep valley. That is Xiaoyao Valley."

Peng Yao answered, his voice gradually becoming lower, as if he was recalling some unknown past.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhixue moved quickly and swung the long sword in her hand. Peng Yao fell to the ground silently, and was then gently sent back to the pre-prepared space to ensure his safety.

Xiao Zhixue stretched out her body and flew towards the southeast like an arrow, leaving only a faint sound of wind.

In just two hours, Xiao Zhixue was already standing in front of the entrance of Xiaoyao Valley.

I saw that the valley entrance was covered with complicated runes, which revealed a power that should not be underestimated. It was obvious that many formations had been set up here to resist intrusion from outsiders.

However, Xiao Zhixue had a confident smile on her face. During this period of time, she had been studying ancient books in the space and had gained some insights into the art of formations.

She took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes slightly, and the knowledge of the formation she had learned quickly flashed through her mind. Every detail was extremely clear.

A moment later, she stepped on the strange door and easily passed through the seemingly indestructible formation, as if all obstacles in front of her were nothing but empty talk.

Entering the valley, her target was the majestic and imposing main building.

At this time, Murong Fang was concentrating on observing a young master who was abducted from Anshun Villa, his eyes flashing with obsession and curiosity.

Over the past few days, Murong Fang has tried all kinds of exotic drugs in the boy's body in an attempt to find a breakthrough, but the key medicinal materials are too precious and rare, and several attempts have failed to achieve the desired effect. The boy is still sleeping and his life or death is unknown.

Just as Murong Fang was immersed in his own world, Xiao Zhixue pushed the door open and walked in. Her steps were steady and without any hesitation.

The slight sound of the door hinge turning made Murong Fang look up suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Xiaoyao Valley!"

Murong Fang asked cautiously, with a packet of medicine powder ready in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Xiao Zhixue pointed at the young man on the ground, her tone calm but firm, "I want to take him away, are you willing?"

Before she finished her words, Xiao Zhixue had already noticed Murong Fang's movements. She turned her wrist and a gust of wind blew away the oncoming powder. Then she slapped him with her palm. Murong Fang was hit by the sudden force and flew out like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily against the wall and fainted on the spot.

Xiao Zhixue took a few steps forward and pressed Murong Fang's acupoints with skill, ensuring that he could not move for the time being.

Then she carefully checked the boy's physical condition, frowning.

Although the medicine used by Murong Fang is not perfect yet, it is quite tricky and can make a person's life and death hang in the balance. It is indeed a risky move.

Although the boy seems to be in a deep coma, his vital signs are still stable. He will wake up one day with careful care.

Xiao Zhixue thought to herself that Murong Fang's medical skills were indeed unique. It would be a good thing if she could use them for her own benefit.

Xiao Zhixue took out a specially made "loyalty pill" from the space and gently stuffed it into Murong Fang's mouth.

This pill melts instantly once it comes into contact with saliva, and the effect is remarkable.

Then she fed Murong Fang a healing pill. Soon, Murong Fang woke up slowly. When he saw Xiao Zhixue, he knew the situation had changed, and he knelt down to pledge his allegiance.

Xiao Zhixue changed her mind and pointed at Peng Yao who was transferred here, and said to Murong Fang: "From now on, you will be responsible for testing the medicine for this person. You must be careful."

Murong Fang felt mixed emotions when he heard this, but he had no choice but to obey.

After dealing with all this, Xiao Zhixue left Xiaoyao Valley and returned to the space to confirm the boy's safety again. Then she decided to go straight to the source and solve the disaster in Anshun Villa.

Under the moonlight, she was like a ghost, silently capturing Peng Jun and Peng Song, father and son, and ending their sinful lives with thundering means.

After a long journey, when Xiao Zhixue arrived at Youzhou City, she unexpectedly found Ding Guide still waiting at the inn, which made her feel a little comforted.

She knew that her husband was fighting the rebels in Linzhou at the time, so she arranged for Ding Guide to deliver the letter the next day to ensure that the information could be conveyed in time.

Ding Guide took the silver note, his heart filled with gratitude and surprise, and he felt fortunate for his master's generosity.

After seeing Ding Guide off, Xiao Zhixue began to pack her bags, preparing to return to her long-absent home, missing her pair of lively and lovely sons.

Along the way, Xiao Zhixue carefully took care of the unconscious King An, using precious spiritual spring water to maintain his vitality every day, hoping that he would wake up soon.

After another long journey, the outline of the capital gradually came into view.

Xiao Zhixue first went to a secret manor nearby, used the cover of night to quietly settle Prince An, and then woke up the housekeeper and his wife.
