Chapter 1231: Chapter 1235: Rescue (Part 1)

From their aura, the two women in linen clothing are very strong.

One has the aura of a Peak Soldier King, the other is an Advanced Soldier King.

However, the twelve people besieging them include three Peak Soldier Kings, six Advanced Soldier Kings, and three Intermediate Soldier Kings.

With such a disparity in strength, it’s no wonder one of the women in linen clothes is already seriously injured.

About ten kilometers from the tea mountain, there is a peak over five hundred meters high.

This is the location of the Leqing Sect.

It’s also the highest peak within the Secret Realm.

A three-meter wide stone stairway gives the impression of stretching directly from the mountain’s base to its summit.

Approximately one hundred meters from the top, there are several structures.

The innermost and highest of these is very solemn and imposing, but upon closer inspection, appears quite exquisite.

This style is rare to find in the outside world.

Presumably, this is why the Leqing Sect consists entirely of women.

At this moment, a woman who appears very composed is seated at the head seat within one of these buildings.

This chief seat is significantly higher than the other two rows of seats.

It seems to signify different statuses.

In the row to the left, a woman with a very sharp chin is seated.

Both women are relatively young, not more than forty years old.

From appearances alone, they could pass for women in their twenties.

The aura they possess is at the Soldier King Realm.

Thus, their youthful appearance is quite normal.

Generally, martial artists of great strength appear much younger than their actual age.

This is why at thirty-something, they look twenty-something.

"Sect Leader, you don’t need to worry. No one knows about Red Eyes’ operation this time," the woman with the sharp chin said. "And with the strength of Red Eyes and her team, there won’t be any mishaps."

"Furthermore, Le Tian excels at assassination; killing Princess Consort Le shouldn’t be difficult."

"Also, Princess Consort Le has been away for several years; her skills must have regressed considerably."

"So, you have nothing to worry about."

The woman seated at the head seat is the new Sect Leader of the Leqing Sect, Yue Ying—the Princess Consort Le mentioned.

Upon hearing these words from her subordinate, her expression remained unchanged.

With her hand supporting her chin, she spoke after a while, "Even if something unexpected happens, so what?"

"It would just mean they live a little longer."

The woman with the sharp chin showed a trace of fear but quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, the Sect Leader is right."

"With the Sect Leader’s current control over the sect, not even the former Sect Leader could do anything."

"Moreover, those two lack brains and strength."

Yue Ying glanced at her subordinate with indifference, "You can leave now!"

"There are many matters in the sect that require your attention."

The woman immediately rose and took her leave from Yue Ying.

After the woman’s departure, Yue Ying’s expression wasn’t as calm as before.

A sinister smile appeared on her face. If anyone witnessed this, it would certainly send a chill down their spine.

For someone perceived as kind and always smiling, suddenly revealing such an expression would be more frightening than those who naturally look evil.

After all, such people often take actions that instill fear.

At the tea mountain, Princess Consort Le, Lin Xi, and Red Moon rushed towards the summit at top speed.

But the path on the tea mountain was not easy to traverse; it was winding and exhausting.

Otherwise, they would have arrived on horseback.

After approximately five minutes, the trio was close to the peak.

The sound of swords clashing could be faintly heard from the summit.

Princess Consort Le and Red Moon understood clearly that this was their sect’s sword array, which was very powerful.

The more people involved in deploying this sword array, the greater its power.

Previously, Red Moon used this array at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

"How can this be?" Princess Consort Le’s expression was very grim.

Once such an array is used, caution is often abandoned.

Because the greater the sword array’s power, the harder it is to precisely control.

The sect only uses such arrays to deal with formidable enemies.

Red Moon was also puzzled.

Although Yue Chan was not particularly involved in affairs, her popularity was higher than Yue Ying, who was in charge.

Why act against her?

Could there be matters unknown to Red Moon?

Or were there things most in the sect were unaware of?

The next moment, they accelerated with explosive speed.

In almost an instant, the three reached the summit.

However, the tea mountain peak was quite large, spanning several hundred square meters.

"Stop!" Princess Consort Le shouted as she saw what was happening in the distance, her eyes wide as if they were about to burst.

Beside her, Lin Xi saw Princess Consort Le’s rage for the first time.

Her killing intent was more intense than ever before.

Red Moon also stared wide-eyed, puzzled by the situation on the summit.

The group led by Red Eyes, in fierce battle with the two women in linen, paused in their fight.

Of course, Red Eyes’ group was completely overwhelming the two women in linen.

The women were constantly at risk of being killed.

Only the less injured woman managed to hold on.

Her moves were not only powerful, but highly skilled, complemented by agile body techniques, allowing her to avoid many lethal attacks.

However, the strength disparity was too great.

Her injuries continued to worsen.

She was in much more severe condition now compared to earlier.

The other woman’s injuries were even worse, as if she could perish at any moment.

Now, as both sides paused, the women took the opportunity to gasp for air.

Despair was evident on their faces.

Both sides turned their gaze towards Princess Consort Le and her companions.

"Red Moon?" Red Eyes’ expression changed slightly, "Why aren’t you guarding the entrance to the Secret Realm? What are you doing here?"

"Did the Sect Leader send you to assist me?"

"But what happened to your hand?"

The others noticed that one of Red Moon’s hands seemed broken.

But Red Eyes’ group wasn’t too concerned.

No matter why Red Moon came, it wouldn’t change Yue Chan’s destined fate today.

Besides, would Red Moon dare oppose the Sect Leader?

That would be suicidal.

Also, who were the man and woman by her side?

Several in Red Eyes’ group, including a few Peak Soldier Kings, showed traces of confusion.

They seemed familiar.

However, they couldn’t immediately remember.

This was in relation to the woman beside Red Moon.

Yet among the surrounded, the more formidable woman revealed a hint of surprise on her face, "Elder Princess Consort Le!"
