I manage female characters in all the heavens.

too strong!

Her vigilance was raised to the limit; she dared not move at all, her inner strength rapidly circulating in her meridians and dantian, ready to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.

No matter how strong the opponent or how terrifying the enemy, she will never lose her belief in resistance.

So what if we can't win? So what if we die and our spirit dissipates?

I will splatter my blood all over you!

At the same time, she was also roaring in her heart, "Feng Qingyang, you ate my food and drank my wine, and now you're just going to stand by and watch?"

I am utterly disappointed in you!

She stood there, alert and tense, like a pine tree.

But even after Lu Xin and the others took their leave and descended the cliff, she still didn't witness the great battle she had anticipated.

"..."

But she didn't feel relieved; instead, she suddenly sighed.

"Dongfang Bubai truly understands human nature..."

“He didn’t want to kill me simply, but wanted to torture me constantly, to make me break down and make a fool of myself under immense pressure, so that he could get revenge on me for offending him before dealing with me.”

"That's so vicious..."

She found Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, who were still slowly copying down martial arts techniques, and wanted to tell them the reality of Dongfang Bubai's arrival.

However, she opened her mouth but ultimately didn't say anything.

Dongfang Bubai is only targeting her now; the others in Huashan might still have a chance to survive. Once exposed, they will be forced to silence him.

The idea of ​​dragging everyone down with her was just a joke. If the situation is truly beyond saving and she is destined to die, she still hopes that Yue Buqun and his wife, as well as her fellow disciples, can survive.

At least this way, maybe Linghu Chong or someone else can help her get revenge in the future.

You lot better remember my kindness and repay me handsomely in the future!

Otherwise, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!

Looking at her daughter's increasingly grief-stricken expression, Ning Zhongze was filled with questions.

"I can never repay your life-saving grace. From now on, you must serve me like slaves!" The young lady wiped away her tears and said resolutely.

Ning Zhongze, who was already puzzled, became even more confused.

Chapter 30 As expected of a spy, his mind is indeed meticulous!

From that day on, Lu Xin took the initiative to take on the task of delivering meals to Siguo Cliff every day.

This job was a tough one for the laborers, and it was also quite dangerous, since the road to the Cliff of Contemplation was really unsafe.

But Lu Xinyi was willing to do anything to see Yue Lingshan every day, even if it was just to catch a glimpse of her from afar.

Moreover, it would also allow him to familiarize himself with the route between Siguo Cliff and Huashan Villa, preparing him for killing Laodenuo later.

Every time he went to the Cliff of Contemplation, he would try to create various opportunities to showcase his masculine charm.

Each time, Yue Lingshan would stare at him intently, clearly captivated by his charm.

This made Lu Xin extremely happy. It not only meant that he could easily win a love, but also gain the huge benefits and convenience that came with the identity of the son-in-law of Mount Hua.

The Dimensional Lord's mission is not limited to killing. With Yue Lingshan's connection, missions like obtaining certain items will be a piece of cake!

His career and love life are about to flourish, and his life seems to be suddenly getting better!

He returned to his residence with a smile on his face and continued to busy himself in a corner of the courtyard.

Various carpentry tools and materials were scattered all over the floor, creating a chaotic scene that made it impossible to tell what he was making.

This single-person house with a small courtyard was rented by him a few days ago using the remaining merit points, and he can only use it for one month.

During this month, the courtyard was his sole possession, and no other servants were allowed to enter without permission.

This was already confidential enough; no one would actively pay attention to a mere menial disciple.

However, Lu Xin still took even deeper secrecy measures, displaying the various parts he made together with other miscellaneous items, so that even if someone came in, they wouldn't be able to tell what he was making.

He is currently working on a crossbow, a self-designed, simple structure that is sufficient to achieve basic functions and has enough lethality to make even a third-rate expert wary.

Before coming to the world of Swordsman Online, he often watched videos online about the ancient methods of making various cold weapons and studied them simply out of interest.

After two years of menial work, coupled with the rewards from the Dimensional Lord's mission, he became proficient in woodworking and forging, making his skills unparalleled in the Huashan Sect.

Crossbows and armor are both prohibited items that the imperial court strictly forbids from being privately possessed. The Huashan Sect did not have them readily available, and he could not buy them either, so he had to make them himself.

It has been six days since we started making it. All the parts for the crossbow have been completed. It will be ready to use after a little time to assemble them.

He estimated that it would take less than an hour to assemble and he could use it tonight.

"In that case, let's set the date for tonight's operation. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Hesitation only leads to more trouble. Since the crossbow is about to be completed, we should put it into use as soon as possible, and then destroy it as soon as we finish using it.

The longer you keep this thing in your hands, the greater the risk of it being exposed.

He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

To bring happiness to Shan'er, I absolutely cannot stand still.

Dry!

That night, Laudenau returned to his room and prepared to go to bed.

Suddenly, his gaze swept across the table and he saw a white object.

He looked closely and realized it was a note!

As a spy, he knew everything about his room. This note was definitely not his; someone must have entered his room and left it there!

This discovery immediately startled him, and he began to examine the various traces in the room.

Sure enough, he found some clues and confirmed that someone had indeed sneaked into his room while he was away.

Based on the traces, it can be inferred that the person who came was a man, about the same height as him. His movements were rudimentary, indicating that his martial arts skills were not high, but he had a very strong awareness of counter-tracking and did not leave any traces for him to follow.

"...Interesting. Is he a spy from another sect? Trying to contact me and recruit me as an inside man?" Laudenuo pondered.

This kind of thing is very common in all the major sects. Before he joined Huashan as a member and went into hiding, Lao Denuo had done similar work himself.

If that's the case, Laudenau can only lament the other party's bad luck.

I was originally a spy sent by Songshan to infiltrate Huashan and provide convenience for Leader Zuo.

Do you think I would betray Huashan and sell out my master for personal gain?

You have a really good eye for people!

He smiled disdainfully, but a murderous intent surged within him.

Huashan must not have someone with such keen insight. As an undercover agent, he must not be seen through by anyone.

This person must be silenced!

Moreover, I, Lao Denuo, am the biggest undercover agent in Huashan. What kind of traitor are you, coming to steal my job without even giving me a heads-up?

This is absolutely outrageous!

I'd like to see what you're up to!

Upon opening the note, Laudenau's pupils contracted, his body trembled violently, and he nearly threw the note away.

"Lao Denuo, the traitor from Songshan, if you don't want your identity to be exposed, come to the Skywalk for a chat."

This short sentence contains incredibly important information.

First, his identity as a spy for Songshan was directly exposed, and in order to resolve this crisis, he had no choice but to go.

Secondly, the other party did not intend to expose him directly, but instead wanted to talk to him, which clearly meant that they needed him to do something.

Third, the other party arranged to meet at the Skywalk, a dangerous place where only one person could pass at a time, making it impossible for him to go around. This was clearly to prevent him from launching a sneak attack.

Fourth, the Skywalk is not far from the Cliff of Contemplation. If he intends to kill him by force, the other party can simply escape to the Cliff of Contemplation and reveal his identity to Yue Buqun, who is currently living there, so that they can perish together.

This is a self-preservation strategy chosen by the opponent after knowing that their martial arts skills are inferior to their own.

"Good, good, good! Meticulous and insightful, no wonder you're a spy!" Laudenuo said, praising him, but in reality, he was gritting his teeth and full of hatred.

He glanced at the note again and lit it on the candle.

As he watched the paper strip gradually burn, he clenched his fists, his face becoming increasingly ferocious.

Okay, you've got guts. I admit defeat. I'll just listen to what you want me to do. I hope you won't go too far.

Otherwise, I'll just have to agree to whatever you say!

He grabbed his longsword, avoided everyone, and quietly made his way to the Skywalk under the cover of night.

Upon arriving at the Skywalk, Lao Denuo didn't think much of it, subconsciously assuming that the other party would be waiting for him near the Cliff of Contemplation, and went straight onto the Skywalk.

After all, the other side needs to use Yue Buqun's existence to protect themselves, so there's no reason not to seize the advantageous position first.

However, all his reasoning was based on the premise that the other party needed him and wanted his help.

He never considered that the other party didn't need his help; they simply wanted him dead.

Not long after he stepped onto the plank road, Lu Xin immediately sprang out from the pile of stones next to the entrance of the plank road and aimed the crossbow bolts that were already ready to be fired at Laudenuo, who turned around after hearing the noise.

"Senior Brother Lao, you didn't expect it to be me, did you?"

Lu Xin was extremely nervous, as it was his first time doing something like this.

But he quickly got into the zone, distracting Laudenau with words while using his crossbow to force Laudenau back, maintaining a distance of about seven meters.

"It was you!" Laudenuo was genuinely shocked and furious. He hadn't expected that the one who saw through his identity and forced him to come here to discuss business was actually one of his servant disciples who had flattered him a few days ago!

He had even thought about his junior brothers, but he never imagined that the one threatening him was just a mere menial disciple!

Anger made him try to draw his sword, but the gleaming arrowhead brought him back to his senses.

"What do you want?" At this point, the identity of the person threatening him was no longer important; resolving the matter was the most important thing.

Facing a crossbow bolt in such a place, while his martial arts skills wouldn't necessarily guarantee his death, it would be extremely dangerous. Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to test whether he could catch or dodge the arrow.

He thought the other party wanted to rely on Yue Buqun to force him to submit and prevent him from killing him, but he didn't expect the other party to be even more ruthless. Instead of relying on Yue Buqun, the other party threatened him with a crossbow.
