“Where did the final battle take place?”

When Li Tianlan asked, Tribulation said briefly, “Go over the mountains ahead . ”
It was dangerous inside the rolling mountains .
East Island mobilized a lot of people to deal with the final battle . Countless patrols nearly scattered over the entire battlefield . Tribulation, who deliberately suppressed himself, snaked around the mountains with Li Tianlan . The road was more than 10 kilometers long . However, they spent two hours in approaching the mountain edge .
The storm swept across the battlefield without a sign . Water splashed down from above . Under the sky, the mountains were hazy . After coming into view, the mountain slopes ahead were hidden again in the rain, becoming vaguer and vaguer .
They accelerated in the storm and ultimately walked along a straight line .
Amidst the torrential rain, Changdao was full of fight and killing .
There was no pure land on the battlefield .
The fierce battle had spread inside the mountains before Li Tianlan climbed over the hill ahead .
It rained more heavily, but the sound of the rain disappeared .
In the splashing rain, rampant gunshots and explosions rang out everywhere . The loud noise completely muffled the sound of the rainstorm . Sometimes, there was an angry roar, but the explosions all over the battlefield quickly drowned it .
As lightning flashed in the air, the whole mountains were lit up . Several figures immediately ran up from the other side of the hill .
The rain was pelting down .
Suddenly, thick ice walls appeared less than 100 meters away from Li Tianlan .
The ice walls utterly enveloped these men . The sword intent was stirring in the cage made of ice walls . As a single gunshot rang out, the four immense walls of ice thoroughly broke to pieces under an invisible pressure .
Several corpses were thrown out with lots of broken ice . A quiet and comely figure stood in the storm, turning her eyes at the several bodies .
The figure should be feminine and well-behaved, but she looked somewhat indifferent in the rain .
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows .
The woman also looked at him . In the heavy rain, she slightly stiffened her body, with confusion in her eyes .
“Qingyan?”

Li Tianlan took a few steps forward and finally saw the woman in front of him . He asked in surprise, “Why are you here alone? Aren’t you with Qiancheng?”
“Brother Li…”
“As expected, you’re fine . We’re all concerned about you,” said Yu Qingyan, who reached a happy ending with Ning Qiancheng in a short time in the chaotic general trend .
Tribulation walked up to Li Tianlan without any sound . He remained silent all the time .
Yu Qingyan was startled because she did not notice Tribulation . She bowed and said respectfully, “Hello, teacher . ”
Tribulation nodded but said nothing . He just watched Yu Qingyan with an elusive look .
Li Tianlan took no notice of this . He frowned for a while and said calmly, “Is everyone OK?”
“No . ”
Yu Qingyan lowered her head and looked at the water falling before her as she murmured, “Many people died, but we’re fine . I worked together with Qiancheng and some elites from the Eastern Theater of Operations, but we just got separated . I’m going to find him . Brother Li, will you go with me?”
Li Tianlan paused for a second and glanced at Tribulation .
Tribulation still stared at Yu Qingyan . When he noticed Li Tianlan, he shook his head and said, “Nothing will happen for the time being . You’d better go back with me first . ”
Li Tianlan nodded because he was not in good condition . At least, he should treat his wounds .
“You go first . Please contact me if you have any problems . ”
Li Tianlan looked at Yu Qingyan and said .
Yu Qingyan was one member of East Emperor Palace, but it had no communication system of its own . The communication system they used belonged to Sigh City . His equipment was severely damaged, so Li Tianlan must reapply for one at once when he returned .
“OK, Brother Li . Take good care of yourself . ”
Yu Qingyan twitched her snub nose and seriously said .
After he nodded with a smile, Li Tianlan moved towards the hill ahead with Tribulation .
The loud gunshots constantly resounded in the rain and became more and more distinctly .

When he was about to climb over the hill, Li Tianlan suddenly looked back .
At a short distance, Yu Qingyan still stood there .
Like a pool of blue water without a ripple, her eyes were soft and limpid, with some confusion .
After noticing Li Tianlan, she greeted him with a sweet smile and waved to him .
Li Tianlan stayed calm and collected, as he saw Yu Qingyan turn back and disappear in the rain .
“The girl is marvelous . ”
Tribulation suddenly spoke out .
“She’s Yu Donglai’s granddaughter . Senior Yu was one of my grandpa’s guards, so his descendant is trustworthy . ”
Li Tianlan touched on the matter lightly .
In his visual field, Yu Qingyan seemed to be accelerating . Her figure got blurry and finally disappeared in the rain .
However, she was still moving forward .
She got wet in the heavy rain because she had not reached the Fire-flaming Realm . However, her eyes were clear and bright . She headed for the other side of the hill as fast as she could .
Going forward .
Turning .
Snaking around .
The rain was getting heavier and heavier . Yu Qingyan silently walked alone throughout the mountains . She was patient and unyielding .
In the rain, she passed through seven or eight kilometers at top speed . After confirming that no one was following her, she turned away and went to a road on the other side of the mountains .
Then, she returned .
The road was wet and straight, leading to the front .

On both sides of the road were mountains . A crossroad was less than one kilometer away .
After turning left at the crossroad and moving forward 500 meters, she should see a small but old guide-post .
Yu Qingyan silently calculated and advanced .
In the rain, she appeared to be lonely and helpless, like a lost elf .
Everything was in line with the information she had .
After turning left from the crossroad, she would go out of the battlefield . The guide-post she was looking for stood by the roadside . It was lone and unremarkable .
Yu Qingyan stood silently in front of the guide-post and stretched out her hands to touch the wet stone tablet . After hesitating for a long time, she tried to pull up the stone tablet with her slender hands .
“Ahem…”
A quiet cough sounded behind her and came through the rain .
Like a frightened rabbit, Yu Qingyan abruptly looked back .
A woman who looked about 30 years old appeared behind Yu Qingyan .
She wore red leggings, a red blouse, and red high heels .
The woman was supercilious, like a ball of flames in the storm .
Superciliousness .
It was her most distinctive feature .
Yu Qingyan looked panic, but she stared at the lady in red bravely . That was not supposed to happen . Now, she was at a loss .
“What are you hesitating?”
The lady in red mocked . Her beautiful look mixed with her haughty disposition, so she looked a bit more wild and gorgeous .
“This was our stuff . His Highness left it to your grandfather for temporary safekeeping to show respect for him . Now, what are you hesitating?”
The lady in red said dryly . She was as tall as Yu Qingyan, but she was distinctly condescending when they stood together .
“You chose us just because… because no one can do it better than my grandfather . That’s all . ”
Yu Qingyan looked at the lady in red with courage as she said .
“So what?”
The lady in red said coldly . She stretched out her hands to Yu Qingyan, saying, “Give it to me . ”
After hesitating for a while, Yu Qingyan finally reached into her pocket and took out a crystal bottle .
The bottle was tiny, but it was radiant, for it was entirely cast by the first-class crystal . The bottle contained two drops of bright, fiery-red liquid, which was gleaming . The night screen nearby was reflected as red as fire .
The lady in red took the bottle and carefully put it away .
She watched Yu Qingyan and said indifferently, “We weren’t supposed to meet today, but you’ve hesitated too long . Tell your grandfather to safeguard things that don’t belong to him . If he dares to play tricks…”
She did not continue but gave a meaningful sneer .
Yu Qingyan bit her lip and said nothing .
The woman looked at her intensely and walked into the rain again .
Their meeting was brief like a transaction, but it was also like inexplicable tacit understanding .
Both the lady in red and Yu Qingyan knew what was in the bottle .
It was the hottest poison in the Dark World, which was code-named Vermilion Bird Blood .
The lady in red also knew Yu Qingyan’s name, origin, and all background information .
However, Yu Qingyan did not know that the lady in red’s code name was Phoenix .
Phoenix’s status in some upcoming mysterious group would be no less important than that of Daybreak and Dawn .
