Fang Zilan traveled through the starry night and rushed back to the capital. Along the way, she sent a message to the Ghost Sect, asking to fight the King of Hell of the Tenth Palace. She used the rules of the Tao. If the Tenth Palace did not respond, her reputation would be ruined.
She could have waited for the opportunity to take action and eradicate the ten palaces of Hell one by one, but she was afraid that if the night was long and she had many dreams, things would change if she was too late. Therefore, what he said in front of Zhuge Yu was not a moment of anger, but a promise.
But even if the whereabouts of Chu Bin, the Wheel King, are unknown, and King Biancheng and Ping Ping are dead, the Ten Palaces of Hell still have seven palaces. With one against seven, the odds of victory are not great.
Fang Zilan reached out and touched the scar on her back, which was left when she killed the Seven Wolves of Beiyuan. It has not gone away after many years, and it seems to remind her that even if she is the best in the world, she is not omnipotent.
However, if we don't take action as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will die in the next round of bloodshed.
She didn't want to be like what King Pingping said before he died, no one could save her.
Therefore, even if she fell into Ji Ning's favor and fought to the death with the Tenth Palace of the Ghost Sect, both sides would be harmed, she would admit it.
However, if she really died, would anyone be sad?
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and look at Mo Han who was writing furiously in the study not far away, her eyes softened a lot.
The Xu Mansion is peaceful, and with Li Shengxuan taking care of him, Mo Han is still safe here, but...
She once promised Mo Han that she would come back alive, but this time she might break her promise. I wonder if he will be more sad or hate her more then?
She didn't dare to think about it, just like she didn't dare to face it now, she only dared to hide on the eaves of Xu's house and peek quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but Mo Han seemed to have finished writing. He put the pen back, picked up the paper and looked at it again and again, then put it on the desk and carefully dried the ink.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mo." The boy said politely, and then invited Mo Han out, saying that Xu Youtong was looking for him.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan didn't stop anymore and spun around and jumped off the roof. However, not long after she landed, she heard Xia Houzhang's voice saying: "Miss Fang, please stay."
Fang Zilan turned around and looked over and asked, "What advice do you have, Mr. Xiahou?"
"Advice is out of the question." Xia Houzhang said quietly: "I am here to see Miss Fang off on your Majesty's order."
After saying that, he respectfully took out a piece of plum branch and held it in front of Fang Zilan with both hands. However, she only glanced at it and chuckled, "I have already promised Zhuge Yu, why should your majesty waste this plum branch?"
Xia Houzhang still kept his posture motionless, "Your Majesty takes this plum branch as a letter and wants you to come back alive."
Fang Zilan was stunned for a while, and then she realized what she was doing. She reached out and took the piece of plum branch, held it tightly in her palm, and said word by word: "I accept this letter. I promise you that I will keep it forever."
"So, I hope your trip goes smoothly and you return safely." Xia Houzhang saluted, "I will go back and report back to Your Majesty."
Fang Zilan watched Xia Houzhang's figure disappear from sight, then left the capital without hesitation and went to the place agreed with the Tenth Palace of Hell.

Tiancheng Mountain in early October is always covered with a thin layer of fog, and it becomes even colder after frost.
Fang Zilan was walking alone in the forest. Under the cover of branches and leaves, her expression could not be seen clearly, but she could clearly feel the chilling aura on her body, which was so strong that even birds and animals did not dare to approach.
"Zixiu." A gloomy voice suddenly sounded, causing crows to sound.
"Since you're here, you might as well show up and see her." Fang Zilan stopped and threw a hidden weapon casually. While breaking a branch, someone fell behind her.
Then one person after another landed around Fang Zilan. She looked around, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, everyone is here."
"Zixiu, are you tired of living?" King Qin Guang, the head of the Ten Palaces of Hell, stared at Fang Zilan with sadness. She was not frightened at all, and straightened her sleeves carelessly, "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"
"You are provocative to kill my disciple. Why don't you get tired of living?" King Qin Guang said, his expression becoming more and more resentful.
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Apprentice? Isn't he an illegitimate child?"
"You..." King Qin Guang looked shocked, and Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "Speaking of which, you should thank me. If the young master knew that you had such an illegitimate child outside, how could he let it go so easily?"
She paused, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot, this is what the young master told me, otherwise where did I get the news? There is also the half-brother of King Chu Jiang." My younger brother, the widower Wang Na’s married cousin..."
"Shut up!" King Chu Jiang couldn't stand it and shouted: "Why did you kill them for no reason?"
"For no reason?" Fang Zilan repeated the word in a drawl, with a sharp expression, "How could the Hidden Sword Villa and Wanhua Villa be blamed? How could Wu Sheng, Yang Zhiqing and others be blamed? When did we kill people? Are you going to ask why? What’s more, the rules on the road are like this. If I don’t kill someone to sacrifice the flag, will you come here obediently to keep the appointment? "
"In that case, there is no need to talk nonsense." The Song Emperor drew his sword and said, "Today, either you die or we die."
"Just what I want." Before Fang Zilan could finish her words, she had already rushed towards the Taishan King who was closest to her like an arrow. She raised her sword and stabbed the opponent's shoulder in two moves.
The other six halls took action one after another, and for a while the sound of swords fighting in the forest was endless. Fang Zilan defended and attacked at the same time, barely able to avoid falling behind.
This can't continue like this. Fang Zilan gritted her teeth. There were seven of them and she was only one. Once time went on and her physical strength was too much, she would be at the mercy of others.
So she was heartbroken, found the right opportunity to get in front of King Qin Guang, raised her hand and sprinkled the powder in her sleeve.
Although King Qin Guang was on guard, he never expected that Fang Zilan would poison him. In a moment of confusion, she cut his throat and took his life.
Seeing that the leader, King Qin Guang, was killed, the Song Emperor couldn't help but panic. In an instant, Fang Zilan pierced his chest with a sword quickly and hard, and fell to the ground.
After killing two people in a row, Fang Zilan jumped out of the circle surrounded by the remaining five people. He was far away from them and had a moment to breathe.
However, the remaining five people shared the same hatred and quickly caught up with them, entangled with each other. The airtight sword covered Fang Zilan tightly, giving her no chance to poison her.
But no one thought that Fang Zilan had already smeared poison on the plum sword. King Taishan was the first to have an attack, and before he could even open his mouth to warn his companions, he rolled his eyes and fell over.
The Rogue King noticed something was wrong and said in disbelief: "Zixiu, you actually..."
"I am a killer, and my first priority is to take people's lives." Fang Zilan slashed his leg with a backhand sword, "Is it possible that I still want to fight you openly?" Just say that your weapons are on your sword. , how many of them are not quenched?
