Meanwhile, An Yue finally completely digested [Dragon Elephant Divine Pill] after practicing her External Cultivation Technique, [Ethereal Darkness Body Tempering Method], for several hours.
Not only did she manage to obtain a Platinum-Grade talent, [Dragon Strength], but her martial realm had also breakthrough to High-Rank Martial Commander!
------------------------------------------
[Dragon Strength (Platinum-Grade Talent)]
[Description: With thin true dragon blood running in your veins, your strength has transcendence even the flood dragon.]
[Effect 1: Added physical strength equal to one flood dragon plus one giant elephant.]
[Effect 2: The growth rate and upper limit of Physical Strength and Endurance increased by 500%.]
[Effect 3: Immune to any mid-grade poison or lower.]
------------------------------------------
With her [Dragon Strength] talent, An Yue was 100% sure that she could easily defeat even a Top Peak-Rank Martial General realm expert with her current strength!
As for the expert in the Martial Master realm, An Yue might be able to match or even surpass them in terms of physical strength alone, but Martial Master realm experts would definitely have much higher speed, much stronger internal force, and many other advantages over An Yue.
So, An Yue still did not have the confidence to win against a Martial Master realm expert yet, but at least she was quite confident that she could escape from them right now.
An Yue let out a turbid breath as a slight smile appeared on her cold and indifferent beautiful face. She felt very satisfied with the explosive growth of her physical strength.
"With my current strength, I can definitely protect Sister Yuyan even better from now on." An Yue muttered with unconcealable joy in her tone.
Despite having so much physical strength, An Yue's body was still slender and voluptuous as usual, and it did not change to burly or muscular like a King Kong Barbie.
No one could probably expect that within An Yue's slender yet voluptuous body actually contained the power that surpassed even the flood dragon!
"Sister Yuyan?" An Yue shouted as she tried to call Ling Yuyan.
After realizing that Ling Yuyan was no longer in the cave, An Yue instantly became nervous and panicked as she flashed out of the cave.
Fortunately, many of the [2nd Tier Shadow Guards] who were guarding the mouth's cave saw Ling Yuyan tinkering with her [Kirin Chariot] before, so they immediately reported it to An Yue when they saw her.
An Yue secretly sighed in relief after she heard the report from her [2nd Tier Shadow Guards].
An Yue easily found the invisible [Kirin Chariot] after several [2nd Tier Shadow Guards] took her to the exact spot where they saw Ling Yuyan last time.
An Yue blindly touched the invisible [Kirin Chariot]'s side metal wall, but when she reached the door at the back of [Kirin Chariot] and tried to open it...
An Yue's sharp sixth sense instantly warned her of an incoming danger!
BOOOOOOOOOOOM~!
A thick bolt of white lightning suddenly struck where An Yue stood just now!
But An Yue was no longer there as she executed her [Nine Phantom Steps] and split into nine identical figures!
NEEEIIIIGH~!
[Lightning Cloud Horse] neighed as it rushed fearlessly toward the nine An Yues and kicked them swiftly one after another!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
After [Lightning Cloud Horse] kicked the four An Yue's phantoms until they shattered back into shadow, the real An Yue immediately cast [Darkness Net] to trap the [Lightning Cloud Horse]!
Pitch black net flew from An Yue's shadow and caught the [Lightning Cloud Horse] inside it!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The [Lightning Cloud Horse]'s entire invisible body emitted frighteningly powerful white lightning and destroyed An Yue's [Darkness Net] in the blink of an eye!
Then the [Lightning Cloud Horse] threw a strong kick coated in white lightning at An Yue, while An Yue leisurely raised her hand to defend herself.
BOOOOOOMMM~!
The previous An Yue might have some difficulty fighting against [Lightning Cloud Horse], but the current An Yue already possessed the Platinum-Grade talent, [Dragon Strength], which enhanced her strength many times.
An Yue easily stopped [Lightning Cloud Horse]'s powerful lightning kick with one hand as she said coldly to the [Lightning Cloud Horse]: "All right, that is enough! I know you should be Sister Yuyan's subordinate like me, so we do not have to fight with each other."
An Yue still stood firmly on the spot, while [Lightning Cloud Horse] was forced to slide a few steps back.
If An Yue attacked [Lightning Cloud Horse] with all of her strength, [Lightning Cloud Horse] would surely be beaten to death in a few strikes, despite its martial realm being one rank higher than An Yue.
[Lightning Cloud Horse] calmed down a lot after it heard An Yue's explanation, but it did not completely lower its guards. It was still dutifully guarding the [Kirin Chariot] and Ling Yuyan who was sleeping tightly inside it.
An Yue no longer tried to approach the [Kirin Chariot]. She could only helplessly decide to wait until Ling Yuyan woke up from her sleep.
The heavy rain slowly subsided as the black cloud in the sky cleared out.
The sky brightened as the sun began to rise from the east.
Ling Yuyan's eyelashes fluttered slightly when the sunlight entered her bedroom through the glass windows.
Ling Yuyan rose from the soft bed while lazily yawning.
After raising both of her hands to stretch her stiff body, her consciousness finally awakened completely.
"Oh, no~! I accidentally fell asleep! An Yue must be really worried about me right now!" Ling Yuyan shouted as she jumped down from the soft bed and dashed out of the [Kirin Chariot].
Ling Yuyan immediately saw An Yue as soon as she got off the [Kirin Chariot].
"An Yue, I am so sorry for making you worry! I accidentally fell asleep in this [Kirin Chariot] last night!" Ling Yuyan apologized to An Yue with a tone filled with guilt.
But An Yue shook her head and replied: "It is okay, Sister Yuyan. As long as you are all right."
"Oh, right... Let me introduce you to our new friend, [Lightning Cloud Horse]~! I will also grant you full authority to enter and drive [Kirin Chariot] later." Ling Yuyan said while excitedly pulling An Yue's hand to [Lightning Cloud Horse].
The [Lightning Cloud Horse] obediently approached Ling Yuyan.
After Ling Yuyan introduced An Yue and [Lightning Cloud Horse] to each other, [Lightning Cloud Horse] also licked An Yue's face until it was full of saliva just like it did to Ling Yuyan before.
Ling Yuyan's lips twitched slightly as she thought: 'What a unique way to recognize people~!'
Then Ling Yuyan led An Yue to enter the [Kirin Chariot] and brought An Yue to take a look at the entire [Kirin Chariot]'s interior.
At first, only Ling Yuyan could use all of the [Kirin Chariot]'s facilities, activate the defensive measure, and use the weapon, but after Ling Yuyan gave full authority to An Yue, An Yue could also use all of them right now.
If An Yue was the one who used the [Explosive Energy Cannon], the accuracy would surely be many times higher than Ling Yuyan, so it would be better to let An Yue use it instead from now on.
An Yue put all of her shadow guards into her [Shadow Empress Ring] before they went back to Spring River Town with the invisible [Kirin Chariot].
But before the invisible [Kirin Chariot] could enter Spring River Town, the town gates were actually still tightly closed at this moment while there were already many people waiting outside and inside the town gates.
Many merchants, travelers, and so on shouted in anger for the town guards to immediately open the town gate, but the town guards insisted not to open them until the investigation about the Lin Family's extermination was complete.
The situation was extremely chaotic.
Ling Yuyan and An Yue did not have any choice but to let [Kirin Chariot] go to a nearby remote place first.
After Ling Yuyan and An Yue got off the [Kirin Chariot], Ling Yuyan stored the [Kirin Chariot] back into [Kirin Chariot Badge].
[Kirin Chariot] instantly turned into a flash of light and entered the [Kirin Chariot Badge].
Then An Yue carried Ling Yuyan on her back again as she swiftly dashed toward the Spring River Town.
Just like last night, An Yue jumped onto the high town wall and ran on the top of the town wall with ease.
An Yue moved extremely fast as she ran horizontally on the building's wall and jumped from one building's roof to another without any break.
So many people below did not even notice them since An Yue's speed was simply too fast for them to see.
Even Ling Yuyan could only see blurry scenery around her until An Yue carried her back into Wang Family's mansion.
Normally, An Yue might not be able to sneak into Wang Family's mansion so easily during the day because her [Shadow Master] talent could only fully work in a dark environment or at night time.
But thankfully, the attention of the entire Wang Family was entirely focused on the extermination of the Lin Family right now. They were too busy investigating it that the protection of the Wang Family's mansion was quite lax at this time.
It also made sense since most of the Wang Family's guards should be focused on protecting the Crown Prince's courtyard tightly right now.
The overall strength of the Wang Family might be stronger than Lin Family, but if something untoward happened to the Crown Prince, the entire Wang Family would definitely follow Lin Family's fate soon enough!
An Yue easily brought Ling Yuyan back into the maid's bedroom without anyone noticing it.
All of the maids and servants were currently busy at work, so the maid's bedroom was completely empty.
If it was a normal day, Ling Yuyan might be already very anxious and panicky since she would come late to serve Wang Qingling, and Wang Qingling would surely punish her harshly.
Fortunately, Wang Qingling previously had already given Ling Yuyan the task of accompanying the third prince, Jing Weiyuan, so Ling Yuyan would not need to serve Wang Qingling as long as Jing Weiyuan was still living in this Wang Family's mansion.
Ling Yuyan changed her clothes to the maid uniform while An Yue took out a set of makeup tools from her [Shadow Empress Ring] and began to help Ling Yuyan put the makeup on to cover her charming beautiful appearance.
After making sure her attire and appearance were acceptable, Ling Yuyan hastily headed straight to Jing Weiyuan's courtyard, while An Yue blended into Ling Yuyan's shadow and secretly guarded her from any harm as usual.
Who knew that Jing Weiyuan was actually waiting anxiously for Ling Yuyan at this time?!
He even almost sent his guards to look for Ling Yuan, but Ling Yuyan had come to Jing Weiyuan's courtyard innocently right before that happened.
