Ten years later, the Danqingfeng castle tower.

The woman in Xuanyi stood by the window, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, even if she was a tall and handsome man's outfit, she could not hide the elegance and softness of her daughter's house. It's just that her eyes are deep and cold, there is a faint arrogance between her eyebrows, and there is always a bit of indifference in her calm expression that rejects people thousands of miles away.

After a brief moment of silence, she reached out and pushed the window open.

Outside the window, it was green, and her vision stretched along the mountains into the distance, until it was a hazy white mist at the end of the day.

She rested one hand on the edge of the dark brown windowsill, the other pressed against the object at her waist, her slender fingertips swiping over it. It was a pocket dagger, and it was called a pocket because it was two times smaller than a regular dagger. Even though it is small, it still gives an accurate sense of its weight.

The dagger's scabbard is a pale brass color, and it is covered with a delicate and delicate ancient pattern, curled and hollowed outwork. Its delicate and strange form is not a thing of the Central Plains at a glance. The handle of the dagger is engraved with the same intricate pattern as the scabbard, and the color and texture are excellent. The only difference is that the end of the handle is set with a sparkling ruby, and even though the whole dagger looks quite old, this ruby is timeless and brilliant.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, a full decade. Her lips moved, and her gaze was cast into the distance where Rudai's scenery had disappeared.

Last night, Xiao Si, the elder of the Sixteen Elements Town Hall, who was over seventy years old, died of illness, and the situation of the Sixteen Elements being divided was finally put on the bright side from the dark, and some people in the line were panicked, and some were ready to move.

"Lord, Yang Xun and Deng Yuan's people have entered Feihe Gorge, and they are about to attack the East Fourth Element!" Before anyone arrived, the anxious voice had already entered her ears.

She slowly pulled out the dagger at her waist, and her gaze swept over the cold blade, the tip of the white flower blade seemed to have a few small notches, but a closer look revealed that these notches were actually two inscriptions: Shocking.

"Hmph." Yan Yun put the dagger back into the treasure sheath, his face was gloomy, "It's so fast, the fourth prince just died, and these people couldn't help but come to the door." ”

Over the years, she knows exactly what the people of the West Fourth Walk and the South Fourth Walk are planning, but what makes her feel chilled is that the fourth prince has just left, and the wolf ambitions of these people are clearly revealed, and she even wants her to hand over the position of the master. She has faced this treacherous sixteen elements for so many years, and now that Sigong is gone, no one can control the situation anymore, and all those who are unconvinced immediately tear off the false mask.

If you think about it, it's really sad that she can sit in the position of the lord of this line!

At this time, a thin person ran in at the door, it was Chang Yu, the closed disciple of the fourth prince who grew up with her.

"Lord, quick ...... Get out of here! Changyu gasped and turned pale.

Huo Yanyun asked in a deep voice, "How many people are there in the East Fourth Element?" ”

"Last night, Yang Xun, the master of the West Hall, transferred a large number of people from the East Fourth Element on the pretext of choosing a burial place for his master, and now there are only more than 100 people left, and they are no match for the masters of the Southwest Second Element." Changyu said.

"What about the people of the North Four Lines?" Yanyun asked.

"There seems to be no movement in the North Fourth Line." Changyu looked anxious, seeing that the master had no intention of leaving, his tone was even more worried: "The East Fourth Line is understaffed, so it can only outwit and be invincible, if the master doesn't leave at this time, there will be no more chances!" ”

"I can't go." Yanyun said in a deep voice: "I, Huo Yanyun, am the master of the Sixteen Elements, and now that the bones of the Four Princes are not cold, how can I leave behind the brothers of the East Four Elements to die in the world?!" ”

Changyu saw that the young master did not move, he was anxious, and was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Tell the master that Yang Xun and Deng Yuan have already led people to surround the castle tower!" ”

I saw her eyebrows tightened, and she patted the case: "Then let's finish it." ”

Outside the door, the wind was cold, the sky was dark, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring. Hundreds of black-clad assassins surrounded the castle tower, and it was difficult for the Huo family master to fly even if he wanted to make his wings.

Huo Yanyun didn't have the slightest fear, she looked at Yang Xun and Deng Yuan who were standing at the front without showing weakness, and said in a straight voice: "The two uncles have really taken a lot of effort to mobilize the people this time. ”

"We won't say much about this greeting, the castle tower is short of soldiers and food, I advise the little niece to say a word: those who know the times are handsome, and the position of the master is still virtuous." The pot-bellied man played with the jade bell on the sword, and looked at the thin woman standing on the steps with mockery, his eyes full of provocation and disdain: "As long as you can hand over the position of the owner and the sword, I promise that I will not hurt you in the slightest." ”

Huo Yanyun looked at the withered man beside Yang Xun, and laughed: "I don't know who the position of master of the line is given to?" ”

Yang Xun immediately lowered his face, and was about to speak when he heard Deng Yuan open his mouth.

"What a niece of Yanyun, she has really become sharp in the past ten years." Deng Yuan glanced at Yang Xun.

She saw that Deng Yuan avoided the important and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.

Some of the assassins had already thrown poisoned darts at the man on the iron horse, but the man only missed a point, and then avoided the deadly object, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, rushed into the crowd, and went straight to Huo Yanyun.

But in an instant, dozens of black-clothed men rode up.

Yang Xun saw the iron plates on the waists of those black-clothed people, and his heart was cold: "I didn't expect Xingfeng Wei to come so quickly!" ”

"Kill me! There is no one left behind who resists today! Deng Yuan yelled.

The man in black who took the lead also shouted: "Xingfeng Wei is here according to the rules of the Sixteen Elements, swearing to eradicate the rebellious party and protect the safety of the owner!" After that, he turned over and wanted to pull Yanyun onto the horse, but was distracted by Yang Xun's palm.

"Humph! Even if all of your Xingfeng guards are elite and capable of fighting dead soldiers, how can you compete with the six hundred men and horses of our two southwest divisions with only a hundred or so people? Today, I will take the life of this little girl, so that I can have more dreams at night! Yang Xun swung his sword to kill, and the man in black snorted coldly and immediately drew his sword to meet the enemy.

Just at the moment when Yang Xun and the man in black clashed, a bright long whip slashed between the two from a distance, the person who came was tall and strong, his body was like a ghost, his feet were extremely stable when he touched the ground, and as soon as his toes landed, he turned around sensitively, and the long whip was as spiritual as he was in his hand, and he immediately swept towards Yang Xun flexibly.

Yang Xun also showed a little nervousness when he saw the people who came: "Yunbianke, you are just a lackey of my sixteenth line, and you cannot interfere in the battle between the masters of this line!" ”

"Huo Yanyun is my proud disciple, I don't care what you fight for, but if you want to kill her, you have to die." Yunbianke's dark eyes glanced at Yang Xun with disdain, and then said to the leader of the Wind Guard on the side: "Tanlong, go and protect your master, I will deal with this guy." ”

"Yes!" The leader of the Wind Guard, Tan Long, said.
