The Princess And The Lord

"Spatial ring, Master gave you one?!" Fang Xia couldn't believe it and his face was beaming with joy.

"Did master give you a lot of weaponry in it?" Fang Yu asked expectantly.

Guan Men Niang nodded firmly, "A lot!"

Fang Yu and Fang Xia's faces shone brightly as if they would be able to complete this mission no matter what, and they became even more excited.

"Let's do it right away!" Fang Yu impatiently said.

<strong>"STOP!"</strong>

The three of them were startled suddenly dozens of people appeared and guards surrounded them while pointing their spears at them in a threatening manner.

"Duan Shu Shu..." Guan Men Niang inhaled a cold breath.

A beautiful woman wearing a luxurious bright yellow silk dress with eye-catching red chrysanthemums embroidery on the sleeves appears with dozens of underlings behind her, even though the woman looks extremely beautiful and dignified but her eyes were deadened and hollow which could make anyone who sees it quiver in fear.

Duan Shu Shu frowned seeing a familiar woman wearing a maid uniform, although the woman's skin was a bit dark, however, from her bone structure and judging by her delicate features she knew that woman should be very beautiful, it took a while before Duan Shu Shu realized who that woman was,  turned out that the woman was the quiet and timid Guan Men Niang.

Duan Shu Shu was slightly surprised by Guan Men Niang's presence but it was only a moment before she realize Guan Men Niang seem to cooperate with outsiders, it was unexpected for a weak woman like Guan Men Niang.

"You are Guan Men Niang, right, the maid dress suits you very well." Duan Shu Shu's lips arched into a cynical smile.

Guan Men Niang didn't flinch she looked at Duan Shu Shu defiantly "Ha, I can only wish of becoming a maid no matter what your status in this sect, nothing is worse than being your son's concubine" she replied with pure disgust.

"Hey Guan Men Niang, you ungrateful wench! how dare you collude with outsiders to attack your own husband's sect!" one of Duan Shu Shu's men cursed Guan Men Niang.

Hearing this Guan Men Niang laughed "Husband, what husband? you know my position in this sect is no better than a dog, heck even a dog is better than me...besides did you forget what Wei Zu Tian did to my family and myself?!" Guan Men Niang shouted, her voice trembling from suppressed anger, one can only imagine how much resentment she had for Wei Zu Tian and his disgusting sect if not Wei Zu Tian held her brother as a prisoner she will put her life on the line to killed Wei Zu Tian with her own hands since long time ago.

Guan Men Niang's blunt words shut everyone's mouths up, is not like they didn't know how Wei Zu Tian kidnapped and killed Guan Men Niang's family including Guan Men Niang's fiancee and his family, even today people still talking about it.

"So what do you want to do?" Duan Shu Shu's expression darkened knowing behind Guan Niang's army was the place of the array core. Luckily the defensive array around the stupa is still intact, meaning the core is still safe.

Guan Men Niang quietly summoned a talisman from her ring then a smile slowly appeared on her face "something I wish I could do for a long time!" Guan Men Niang suddenly threw three paper talismans into the air then in an instant the paper talismans turned into sharp energy like a sword and the sharp energy quickly spread out in all directions then attacked Duan Shu Shu and all her subordinates.

A frantic scream rang out from Duan Shu Shu's side, Fang Xia and Fang Yu also threw more offensive talismans then at the same time Fang Yu attacked Duan Shu Shu at high speed.

Meanwhile, Fang Xia said to Guan Men Niang, "We will face them, Please destroy the array core!" after that Fang Xia also jumped toward Duan Shu Shu's underlings while fiercely swinging her sword.

Wasting no time, Guan Men Niang charged toward the stupa.

Duan Shu Shu saw Guan Men Niang's suspicious movements immediately she had a bad feeling thus she shouted to all her men, <strong>"STOP HER!"</strong>

The guards heard Duan Shu Shu ordering them all to jump towards Guan Men Niang, they thought it should be easy to stop a weak woman like Guan Men Niang but they didn't know inside Guan Men Niang's spatial ring there was a ton of talisman, amulet, and weapon which was enough for such a small sect.

Guan Men Niang threw more offensive talismans in frantic manner every type of talisman activated at the same time and started attacking everything around him wildly, Guan Men Niang didn't realize her behavior she showcase her wealth like a noble woman to a peasant.

Perhaps only the Hei Shen sect treated talismans, talismans, and weapons like water because they had abundant resources and they were more generous than other sects, why? perhaps Zhao Li Xin just doesn't care.

Meanwhile, their attention was diverted, Guan Men Niang summoned dozens of explosives from her ring and then planted explosives in front of the rows of stupas one by one as much as she could, and finally, she attach a protective talisman to her body instantly a transparent shield was engulfed her, Guan Men Niang then lit a torch and threw it into the line of explosives.

Two seconds later <strong>'KABOOM!'</strong> a rumbling sound shook the ground following a strong gust of wind, luckily Guan Men Niang was protected by a protective shield otherwise she would have been sent flying by a strong impact like most of Duan Shu Shu's underlings.

Guan Men Niang felt her legs become jelly but she bit her lip until it slightly bled, she had no time to be afraid now, not after what she's been through, this time she must be strong cause once after a long time there were so many people depended on her, therefore, she wouldn't let them down! not anymore!

"You're all stupid!" Duan Shu Shu roared furiously seeing the defense array around the stupa have been broken.

Guan Men Niang glanced back she was then stunned by Duan Shu Shu's fiery eyes, Guan Men Niang quickly pulled her feet and ran towards the stupa as fast as she could once she saw the door she jump at the door with all her might then she successfully enters.

Duan Shu Shu was angry at the same time panicked, she couldn't let Guan Men Niang destroy the array core at any cost but Fang Xia and Fan Yu were much stronger than he thought he would never have expected the Hei Shen members to be this strong if a normal mebers could be this strong then how strong will Long Ming and the four king palaces will be.

Not far from the heaven gate massive complex Lory and Zhao Li Xin were watching from the hills, Lory didn't wear her disguise she let her bluish hair show under the sunlight while beside her Zhao Li Xin stood tall with his hands hidden behind his back appear lazy with a hint of boredom in his eyes but that didn't lessen his imposing aura.

Zhao Li Xin slowly turned his head over his shoulder and behind him Jiang Jin Wei, the Mong brothers, and thousands of well-build Golden Lion soldiers wearing glittering silver armor with golden lion crests on their chests stood tall, some of them carrying swords while the others carried long spears and axes.

Suddenly there was a long squawk from the sky, Lory raised her head to the sky not long after two shadows landed gracefully on the ground.

Ming Yue Yin's face lit up with excitement she then ran towards Lory "I didn't come late did I?" she gave Lory a warm hug while chuckling.

Lory returned Ming yue Yin hugged "No, you came at the right time" she laughs then Lory patted Ming Yue Yin's back and asked "Sorry I can't celebrate your wedding" Lory sincerely regretted.

Ming Yue Yin shrugged "It's okay, it's boring anyway"

Lory flicked her head lightly to rebuke her words for talking lightly about her own wedding but Lory forgot she also used her wedding as a trap.

Yuan Shao stepped steadfastly, he still looked charismatic and handsome like a young general. Yuan Shao walked towards Zhao Li Xin then cupped his hands courteously "greeting lord Long Ming, unfortunately, my army will be a little late" Yuan Shao then glanced at the Golden Lion army then laughed meaningfully "But I guess it's not a big deal..."

Zhao Li Xin gave Yuan Shao a nod of acknowledgment that he rarely gave to anyone not even emperors, only a few people in the world could earn his respect.

"We will need whatever help we can get in actual combat…" Zhao Li Xin did not underestimate Yuan Shao's strength because he knew it would not be easy for one person to conquer the Zhuang Dong continent in a very short time with just that alone Yuan Shao deserved all his respect.

Yuan Shao was undoubtedly flattered he knew Zhao Li Xin is not someone who easily gives praise.

"That's quite a powerful array" Yuan Shao cast his eyes at the transparent energy surrounding the Heaven's Gate sect compound.

"Can you or uncle destroy it?" Ming Yue Yin asked.

"Maybe, but arrays have reflexive abilities so it won't be easy beside if we do that we'll lose the chance to surprise the enemy, right?" Lory smirked mischievously.

Ming Yue Yin raised her brows before she burst to laughs "You right"

As they were talking Li Mo Zhen appeared also came with hundreds of Jiu Yun sect members behind him, he saluted Jiang Jin Wei and the Mong brothers first before saluting Zhao Li Xin then he bowed his head to Yuan Shao "Congratulations on your marriage Master Yuan, It's a shame we couldn't attend."

Yuan Shao gave a relaxed wave "It's okay, how is Miss Yang Xi Ying's condition?"

Li Mo Zhen smiled wryly "Upset, but she is very healthy she can give me a good punch at me least twice a day" even though he was complaining but one could see the joy in his eyes.

Ming Yue Yin heard Li Mo Zhen say and sighed, "She must be very upset we left her at home, right?"

"Well, she has no other choice." Lory's mouth twitched as she imagined Yang Xi Ying frowning face.

"That's for the best" Ming Yue Yin smiled in relief after all she didn't want Yang Xi Ying to get hurt, immediately her mood improved then she put her hand on Lory's shoulder "So what are you waiting for now?" her eyes glowed as she stares at the Heaven's Gate sect complex.

Lory stared for a moment then calmly said: "A sign..."
