In the end, White Phoenix couldn't help but walk in. She stared at the scene before her in bewilderment.
After ending the communication, Fang Aolin and Yan Xiu communicated for a while before Yan Xiu put him back into his beast sack.
Seeing that Yan Xiu was done, White Phoenix exclaimed, "There's no mistaking it. That's definitely the Soul Summoning Banner. I've seen someone use it before. How can you control it?" She looked Yan Xiu up and down in disbelief. "Are you a Ghost Cultivator? That can't be right. You're clearly emanating Yang energy! "
Yan Xiu put away the Soul Summoning Banner, then said in a hoarse voice, "We can go now. Someone will arrange for us to enter."
"I'm not interested in throwing my life away. I'm not going!" White Phoenix scoffed. She crossed her arms and turned her back to him.
Yan Xiu didn't waste any time talking to her and turned to leave. Miao Yi had told him that White Phoenix would definitely be stubborn, but he wouldn't dare disobey!
Nether Hell Presidential Manor. On the observation deck, Miao Yi gazed into the distance with a hint of worry on his face. He stood there motionlessly for a long time.
Yun Zhiqiu had appeared on the stage out of nowhere. She stared at Miao Yi's back for a while, then gently approached him. She wrapped her arms around Miao Yi's waist and pressed her body against his back. She asked gently, "Are you worried?"
Miao Yi turned to look at her, then rubbed the soft skin on his abdomen and sighed. "I'm taking a risk this time. I'm sending them into the lion's den without any reinforcements. If anything happens, they won't have any hope of coming back alive. I'm not sure if Yan Xiu can handle it."
Yun Zhiqiu said, "You've done a lot of risky things like this. You should know how I felt back then, right?"
Miao Yi chuckled bitterly.
Yun Zhiqiu said, "If you're not confident, it's not too late to have them retreat now."
Miao Yi shook his head. "Some risks still need to be taken. If we want to continue receiving Xiahou Chengyu's full support, we need to give her an explanation. This is the first time she's given us a mission. If I were to do it myself, I'm confident I can handle it. I just don't know how well they can handle it. Yan Xiu isn't very adaptable! "
Yun Zhiqiu let go of him and walked to the side to look at his profile with a grave expression. "What if they fail and get caught? What if they can't get away? Wouldn't that expose you?"
Miao Yi said in a low voice, "If anything goes wrong, Yan Xiu will catch White Phoenix off guard and eliminate her. And Yan Xiu himself will …" He slowly closed his eyes and continued, "He promised me that he won't let his identity be exposed."
Yun Zhiqiu understood, and a trace of sadness flashed across her face. She moved closer to him and slowly snuggled into his embrace …
Although the threat of the Netherworld Army had retreated, Wang Zhuo did not let down his guard. He was really worried about Niu Youde. Not only did he not relax his defense, but he also gathered the elites of Domain Gengzi to defend.
Yan Su's troops were also among them, guarding the outer region of the Presidential Manor.
Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for him to inspect his subordinates regularly.
After patrolling all the way to the encampment outside the mountain, Yan Su flew to the outer space to check on the temporary defensive point. Then, she found an opening and left her troops, flying deep into space.
On an inconspicuous celestial body not too far away from the defensive point she was stationed at, Yan Su descended and scanned her surroundings. There was a thick layer of dust everywhere, and it was a desolate scene. In the end, she fixed her gaze on one side and watched as two figures emerged from between the rocks in the distance and landed in front of her.
They were none other than Yan Xiu and White Phoenix, who had changed their appearances. Even though Yan Xiu was cursing and swearing, he still came along in the end.
"Where do you come from?" Yan Su looked at the two warily.
Yan Xiu replied, "Don't ask where I came from."
Yan Su's expression was a little complicated. She never thought that Fang Aolin was actually a member of the Xiahou Clan. She never thought that he would ask her to do such a thing. The risk was too great, but Fang Aolin told her not to worry. He said that he had his own arrangements, that he wouldn't harm her, and that it wouldn't benefit him to harm her. He didn't need to harm himself.
Fang Aolin insisted that she do this, and she had no other choice. She was currently relying on Fang Aolin's network, and the Xiahou Clan's power wasn't something she could contend against. Once she angered the Xiahou Clan, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with her. She had no other choice now that she knew such a secret.
"Are you sure you won't cause any commotion?" Yan Su asked anxiously.
Yan Xiu: "You don't have to worry about this. I just want to know if we can enter without being questioned."
Yan Su: "The security here is very tight now. Entering and exiting requires a thorough body search. However, I can bring you into the defensive area under my command. As long as my identity is confirmed, my subordinates won't search me. This is all I can help you with. As for the situation in the Governor's Residence, it's not something I can control. "
Yan Xiu: "We will deal with the other matters. We won't expose you."
Yan Su nodded silently and took another look at White Phoenix. She realized that this person's nose was in the air and she seemed to be panting with anger. "If you want to go in, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the two of you to enter my beast sack. Otherwise, it's impossible to bring two strangers in. The security is very tight now."
Yan Xiu naturally didn't have any objections, but White Phoenix seemed to have a lot of objections. She said a lot of strange things, but in the end, she still went into Yan Su's beast sack with Yan Xiu. This was equivalent to handing her life over to Yan Su. Not to mention anything else, if Yan Su handed them over, they wouldn't even know they were hiding in the beast sack.
Yan Su, who had secretly brought the two people back, strolled around the area under her command, as if she was patrolling. In the end, she gathered a few subordinates to break through the air barrier and return. Some subordinates followed her through the defensive area without arousing any suspicion.
The subordinates followed her to her lodging and discussed some matters before leaving. Only then did Yan Su go up to the loft and let Yan Xiu and White Phoenix out.
Up in the loft, the two of them looked at the Governor's Residence and the surrounding terrain through the gap in the window. At the same time, Yan Xiu took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi, explaining the situation here.
"Under normal circumstances, no one would come up here. When do you plan to make your move?" Yan Su asked. She also wanted to be mentally prepared.
Yan Xiu moved away from the window and said, "There's no rush. Does anyone often go in and out of Concubine Zither's residence?"
Yan Su pondered for a moment, "I don't think Concubine Zither has ever come out. She always stays in the residence, and the people around her don't come out too often either. I'm not sure about the specifics, but Concubine Zither's handmaiden would personally go to the flower valley to pick some fresh flowers every few days. I'm guessing she's going to bring them back to prepare for Concubine Zither."
Yan Xiu: "Find out the general pattern of this handmaiden's appearance!"
Yan Su nodded, "That won't be a problem."
Yan Xiu: "Can you get a map of the residences in the Governor's Residence?"
Yan Su: "I've been in the Gengzi Domain for quite a few years. Before Wang Zhuo took over here, I would often go in and out. I'm a woman, so I've been to the residences where women usually live. That's why I can draw out the general location of the residences and the terrain. If it's too detailed, I'm afraid I'll have to think of another way."
Yan Xiu: "Will it be a problem to draw out all the people you know about in the Governor's Residence?"
Yan Su: "That's easy, but it will take some time."
"You only need to figure out these three points and hand them to me. There's no need for you to risk your life for the rest." Yan Xiu calmly instructed, unperturbed from start to finish.
After Yan Su left, White Phoenix also moved away from the window. She examined Yan Xiu from head to toe, and said in a strange tone, "I can't tell from a dead face. His mind is quite clear."
Yan Xiu: "Milord has already prepared a few plans. We just need to follow them."
White Phoenix: "Are you stupid? You don't even know he's sending you to your death?"
Thus, Yan Xiu ignored her again.
Half a month later, in the valley between the neighboring peaks of the Governor's Residence, in a place filled with colorful flowers, a beautiful woman in palace attire arrived with a flower basket. She wandered in the sea of flowers and slowly picked them. When the flower basket was full and she was about to turn around to leave, she suddenly heard a clatter behind her. She turned around and looked around, but she didn't see anything. With a slightly puzzled expression, she slowly turned around and suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation of mana. She abruptly turned around again.
Under the cover of the flowers, a ray of black light suddenly shot out from under her feet and hit her. Her whole body froze on the spot. Then, slowly, she started to move. Then, she slowly walked past the flowers and walked towards the mountain wall in front of her. At the foot of the mountain wall, a crack had appeared out of nowhere. It was just enough for a person to enter sideways.
In the cave, Yan Xiu held a spinning White Bone Soul Summoning Banner in one hand. The palace maid who came in stood in front of his face in a daze.
Soon, a standing stone flashed in from outside the cave. The stone wriggled and turned back into White Phoenix.
Yan Xiu gave her a questioning look. White Phoenix coldly snorted, "Don't worry. Even if you want to die, I still want to live for a few more years. Since I can send out a signal, it means that the surroundings are safe and no one noticed."
Yan Xiu finally relaxed. He stared at the palace maid and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's your name?"
"Nianxia!" The palace maid replied blankly.
"Is Imperial Concubine Qin in the Governor's Residence?" Yan Xiu asked again.
The two of them began to answer each other in detail. White Phoenix watched curiously from the side, and the way she looked at Yan Xiu became more and more horrified. She was horrified by Yan Xiu's methods. Even the person who controlled the Soul Summoning Banner back then didn't have this ability. She didn't expect Niu Youde to have such a terrifying person by his side. Once an enemy fell into Niu Youde's hands, would there still be any secrets left? At this moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Previously, when Yan Xiu and Fang Aolin were conversing, she didn't know what was going on. Now, in order to let her familiarize herself with the situation in the Governor's Residence, Yan Xiu showed it to her.
