Although Hu Menglan's attack on Lu Xuan was invisible, Su Hexuan sensed that something was amiss. As a powerful alchemist, his Soul Force was naturally extraordinary.
He was originally worried that Lu Xuan would be injured, but when he saw that Lu Xuan did not seem to be affected, he calmed down and coldly snorted at Hu Menglan, "A dignified Yin Sha actually attacked a junior. You really don't know what shame is."
However, Hu Menglan smiled tenderly and said, "In my eyes, there are only allies and enemies. There is no distinction between seniors and juniors. Old Man Su, what do you think? If you don't comply, then my target will be you."
"Although you are strong, our Hundred Herb Hall is not a pushover. You, a Yin Sha, do not have the qualifications to subdue us without a fight." Su Hexuan was not afraid. After all, he was the hall master of the Hundred Herb Hall and had his own imposing manner.
Hu Menglan's eyes turned cold, "Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, I will start with you!"
With that, Hu Menglan's body instantly disappeared. A gust of wind swept out, heading straight for Su Hexuan. The attack of a Virtualized Stage expert was naturally extraordinary.
Su Hexuan waved his hand and a talisman shot out, instantly exploding in the air and breaking Hu Menglan's attack.
Hu Menglan could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Instant release of an eight star talisman, you've actually become an eight star Soul Talisman Master?"
As the hall master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Su Hexuan was not someone who did not have the strength to truss a chicken. Alchemists spent most of their time refining medicine and did not have the time to cultivate martial arts. However, refining medicine could greatly temper one's Soul Force, so most would choose to cultivate talismans. Su Hexuan was a seven star Soul Talisman Master in the past, but he did not expect to become an eight star Soul Talisman Master. An eight star talisman directly blocked Hu Menglan's attack.
Although he managed to block the attack, Su Hexuan did not dare to be careless. Even though he was an eight star Soul Symbol Master, there was still a huge gap between him and the Virtualized Stage. Only a nine star Soul Symbol Master would have the strength to fight him.
Su Hexuan yelled, "Brothers, come out and help us!"
A few whooshing sounds could be heard as two martial artists suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside Su Hexuan. The two of them were emitting a rather strong qi presence. Lu Xuan recalled what Su Ye had told him before. There were two late stage Origin Realm experts in the Hundred Herb Hall. It must be these two.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Hu Menglan wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, she smiled and said, "An eighth level Origin Realm, a ninth level Origin Realm, and an 8 star Spirit Talisman Master. The Hundred Herb Hall's strength is indeed not bad. If you are allowed to develop for a few more decades, you might really become the fourth fourth grade faction in the middle state."
Her words had the intention of sowing discord. The Hundred Herb Hall had always been on good terms with the Nine Dragons Dynasty. Presumably, the Nine Dragons Dynasty did not want to see the emergence of a fourth rank four force.
But when Xia Xi heard her words, he didn't have any other thoughts. Their current enemy was Hu Menglan. He wouldn't fall for such a simple sowing of discord. Instead, Xia Xi spoke to a guard beside him, "Go help Old Hall Master Su and the others."
This guard was Xia Xi's only late stage Origin Realm guard. His strength was already at the ninth level of the Origin Realm. Hearing Xia Xi's order, he hesitated and said, "Then your highness's safety …"
Xia Xi frowned, "The strongest is Yin Sha. If we can't deal with her, all of us will die."
"Yes, your highness's command." Finishing his sentence, the guard didn't dawdle and immediately leaped to Su Hexuan's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with the other three. These four were the strongest people here apart from Hu Menglan. Only by working together would they stand a chance against Hu Menglan.
Hu Menglan squinted her eyes and lightly opened her lips, "Do you think I'm afraid of four of you? Today, I will show you the strength of a Great Void Realm. "
Hu Menglan reached out her hands and a pair of swords suddenly appeared in her hands. She took the lead and rushed towards Xia Xi's guard. Even though she was fighting against four alone, she didn't have the slightest bit of fear. She was a Great Void Realm existence. What was there to be afraid of when facing against a few people who hadn't even reached the peak of the Origin Realm?
Without the need for a greeting, Su Hexuan and the others made their moves at the same time. They attacked Hu Menglan in unison. Every one of them attacked with all their might. Only by working together, would they be able to resist a true Great Void Realm existence like Hu Menglan.
In the battlefield, strong winds constantly blew and energy was shot in all directions. A perfectly fine birthday banquet hall was instantly blown into a mess. The surrounding crowd had no choice but to retreat in order to prevent themselves from being affected.
The Hundred Herb Hall's Branch Hall Masters, regardless of whether they were loyal to Su Hexuan or Beibo Ruo, were all reduced to spectators. Because the final result of this matter wasn't decided by them. Instead, it was decided by the five people in the battle.
But no matter how they looked at it, Hu Menglan's chances of winning were much higher. Not to mention that Su Hexuan only had four late stage Origin Realm experts on his side, even four peak stage Origin Realm experts might not be able to defeat a Great Void Realm expert.
"Young Master Lu, do you think Grandfather and the others can defeat the Yin Sha?" Su Ye said with fear. She was currently standing beside Lu Xuan. Among the people present, there were only two people she could trust. One was Su Hexuan, and the other was Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan knew that Su Ye wanted to hear some comforting words, but he didn't want to lie to Su Ye. He immediately said bluntly, "It's difficult. It's extremely difficult."
"Then what should we do?" Su Ye appeared to be extremely helpless.
"We can only wait and see if the Nine Dragons Empire's reinforcements will arrive." Lu Xuan also sighed. He had already rushed back with Su Ye as fast as he could. He originally wanted to inform Su Hexuan before the birthday banquet, but he didn't expect Su Hexuan to listen to Su Xuebo and bring forward the birthday banquet. It was only until the birthday banquet was about to start that Su Ye finally met Su Hexuan and told him the truth.
Originally, if Su Hexuan was prepared, he should have been able to control the situation. Unfortunately, the appearance of the Yin Sha, Hu Menglan, completely shattered their thoughts. A Great Void Realm expert, no matter in the Middle State or anywhere else in the Sky Sword Continent, was a true expert.
While Lu Xuan and Su Ye were talking, the battle had already reached its climax. Su Hexuan and the others had already brought out their greatest strength, but they were still firmly suppressed by Hu Menglan. The battle was simply one-sided.
If it wasn't for the fact that Hu Menglan didn't want to pay the price of being injured, and Su Hexuan and the others were all fighting with their lives on the line, the battle might have already ended. Even so, it seemed that Hundred Herb Hall's defeat was only a matter of time.
Lu Xuan looked at Xia Xi, who was not far away, and asked, "Fourth Highness, may I ask if the Nine Dragons Empire will send reinforcements?"
Xia Xi shook his head with a tense expression, "Beibo Ruo suddenly attacked my empire, and most of the experts are being held back. In order to show our respect for Hundred Herb Hall, we didn't assign any experts to guard Dongtai City. I've already spread the news, but I'm afraid that before reinforcements arrive, Hu Menglan will be able to control the situation. By then, even I will become a prisoner."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's heart sank. Was he going to die here for no reason? Unfortunately, he hadn't even recovered his memory. Even if he died, he would be a muddled ghost.
At this moment, Su Hexuan's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Xuan's ears, "Young hero Lu, we can't hold on much longer. I only have one request. Please take Su Ye and escape. If you can protect Hundred Herb Hall, I will represent the entire Hundred Herb Hall in gratitude to you."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was stunned and looked at Su Ye. Coincidentally, Su Ye also looked over. She must have received Su Hexuan's telepathic message.
Su Ye bit her lip and said, "I won't leave. I want to be with my grandfather. Young Master Lu, escape alone. I'm already very grateful that you can bring me back to Hundred Herb Hall. I'm just sorry that I've dragged you into this."
Lu Xuan shook his head, "You're my savior. I'll do my best to escape with you. If it really doesn't work, we'll just die together. I'm homeless anyway."
"The entrance is guarded by Bei Bo Ruo's men. If you want to escape, then let's charge together." Xia Xi suddenly said. He wasn't someone who would sit and wait for death. As long as there was a trace of hope, he would try.
Lu Xuan glanced at Xia Xi and smiled, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They were like brothers in hardship, appreciating each other. The friendship between men sometimes came out of nowhere.
"Later, I'll let the guards open the way. Brother Lu, bring Young Lady Su and follow me." Xia Xi took the initiative to suggest.
"Alright." Lu Xuan readily agreed. Xia Xi still had a few guards at the middle stage of the Origin Realm, which would be a huge help.
"Guards, listen up. Kill our way out!" With Xia Xi's command, other than one guard who was by his side, the rest instantly charged towards the entrance.
Lu Xuan pulled Su Ye over and threw her on his back. He then shouted, "Hold on tight!"
At this moment, even if Su Ye didn't want to escape, she had no choice. She could only lie on Lu Xuan's back and hugged tightly, trying not to cause any trouble for Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's movement was like a stone being thrown into a calm water surface, instantly creating thousands of ripples. When those loyal to Hundred Herb Hall saw Su Ye being carried by Lu Xuan, they immediately shouted, "Everyone, protect the Young Lady and charge out!"
The hall, which had been calm just a moment ago, instantly became noisy. Countless warriors were fighting each other. Those who had only come to offer their blessings, and weren't from Hundred Herb Hall or Bei Bo Ruo, could not help but complain incessantly. Previously, when Hu Menglan and the other four were fighting, they could still stand on the side and wait. But now, they could no longer stay out of the fight. Immediately, they steeled their hearts and rushed out. Who knew what Bei Bo Ruo would do to them after she succeeded? It was better to escape first.
"Guard the door, no one is allowed to leave!" Wang Hailin shouted angrily. Although their main target was Su Hexuan, they couldn't let go of the core members of Hundred Herb Hall. If they couldn't be used, then they couldn't be left alive. This was the real reason why they chose to activate their plan during the birthday banquet.
Xia Xi's guards were already blocked and couldn't break through. Many of Bei Bo Ruo's men rushed towards Lu Xuan and Xia Xi who were closest to the door.
Xia Xi's strength wasn't bad. He had reached the first level of the Origin Realm, which was the same level as Lu Xuan. But when facing the attacks of two Origin Realm martial artists and a few Spirit Refinement Realm martial artists, it was a little difficult.
At the crucial moment, Lu Xuan finally arrived. He executed the Dragon Transformation Seven Swords without restraint. A Soaring Dragon instantly killed a ninth level Spirit Refinement Realm martial artist. Then, he followed up with a Dragon Battles in the Wild, which forced away all the martial artists that surrounded Xia Xi, including the two Origin Realm martial artists.
Xia Xi's eyes flashed with a trace of gratitude, "Many thanks."
He also realized that although Lu Xuan's cultivation level was the same as his, Lu Xuan's strength seemed to be much stronger.
Time was of the essence. Lu Xuan didn't have the mood to say much. He simply spat out a word, "Charge!"
Lu Xuan took the lead and rushed forward, while Xia Xi followed closely behind to help Lu Xuan block some attacks from both sides. With Xia Xi's help, Lu Xuan instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
The two Origin Realm martial artists that were forced back by Lu Xuan rushed forward again. Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent. It was useless to force them back, the only way was to kill them!
