Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Chapter 135 Breaking through the Dilemma

Little Swallow brandished her sword, parrying enemy attacks while shouting, "Your Highness, these guys are so annoying, they keep bothering us!"

Hongli's swordsmanship was fierce, each strike carrying a powerful gust of wind. He replied, "My beloved consort, do not be distracted. Let's resolve the current predicament first!"

Hongzhou, not to be outdone, shouted as he fought, "Hmph! Today I'll show you guys what we're made of!"

Although Consort Fucha was not as skilled in martial arts as them, she assisted from the side, saying nervously, "Your Highness, there are too many of them. This can't go on!"

Hongli shouted, "Fujin, find a safe place to hide first, we'll hold them off!"

Fucha's primary consort stubbornly said, "Your Highness, how can I abandon you and hide away alone? I must do my part!"

Seeing this, Little Swallow felt a warmth in her heart and called out, "Sister, be careful!"

At this moment, the men in black surged in like a tide, and the crowd gradually found themselves unable to hold them off.

Little Swallow had a sudden inspiration and said to Hongli, "Your Highness, we can try to lure them to that side path and use the terrain to our advantage!"

Hongli's eyes lit up: "My dear consort, this plan is excellent!"

So they fought and retreated, deliberately moving towards a side road. The man in black, unaware of the trap, pursued them closely.

After they retreated to the side path, Hongzhou forcefully pushed over a huge stone drum next to him. The stone drum rolled towards the men in black with a rumble, instantly knocking down a group of them.

Hong Zhou laughed loudly, "Haha, let's see how arrogant you can be now!"

But the men in black quickly regrouped and continued their attack.

During the battle, Xiao Yanzi was accidentally slashed on the arm by a man in black, and she cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

Seeing this, Hongli was extremely anxious. He roared and charged at the man in black, instantly repelling him. He then asked Xiaoyanzi with concern, "My beloved concubine, how are you?"

Little Swallow gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"

Consort Fucha rushed over, tore off a piece of her skirt to bandage Xiao Yanzi's wound, and said, "Xiao Yanzi, you can't be hurt!"

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled this wave of enemies.

Little Swallow said breathlessly, "Your Highness, we must leave here quickly, or they might send reinforcements."

Hongli nodded: "Yes, let's find the exit first, according to the map."

They continued along the passage, proceeding cautiously, afraid of triggering any more traps or encountering enemies.

Hongzhou complained, "This Shadow Pavilion is dangerous everywhere. I really don't know how it was built back then."

Little Swallow rolled her eyes at him: "Prince He, stop nagging and save your energy for the journey."

Fucha's primary consort smiled and said, "You two, stop bickering. The most urgent thing now is to find the exit and Lingxu Valley."

As they walked, a bright light appeared ahead, seemingly pointing towards the exit.

Little Swallow exclaimed excitedly, “Your Highness, look! There’s light over there, isn’t that the exit?”

Hongli cautiously said, "Don't rush, be careful of a trap."

They slowly approached the light and found that it was indeed an exit, but outside the exit seemed to be a misty forest.

Hongzhou frowned and said, "This Misty Forest looks very eerie. Could there be some danger here?"

Little Swallow, however, said expectantly, "No matter what, this is our only clue right now. Let's go in and take a look; maybe the Spirit Pearl is inside!"

Looking at Xiao Yanzi's determined eyes, Hongli said, "Alright, let's go in together, but everyone must stay close together and not get separated."

As the group entered the Misty Forest, they were immediately enveloped in thick fog, with visibility extremely low.

The primary consort of the Fucha clan said somewhat fearfully, "Your Highness, the fog is so thick that I can't see the road at all."

Hongli held her hand and comforted her, "Princess Consort, don't be afraid, come with me."

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the forest, like the roar of a wild beast.

Hongzhou asked nervously, "What's that sound? Could it be some kind of ferocious beast?"

Little Swallow gripped her sword tightly: "No matter what it is, we'll fight one if one comes, and two if two come!"

Just then, a huge black monster burst out of the fog, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on them.

Little Swallow exclaimed, "What kind of monster is this?!"

Hongli quickly stepped in front of the crowd and shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't panic!"

The group engaged in a thrilling battle with the monster. Little Swallow nimbly leaped onto the monster's back, attempting to attack its vital points.

Little Swallow shouted, "Watch how I subdue you!"

Hongli and Hongzhou worked together below, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the monster.

Consort Fucha watched anxiously from the sidelines, cheering them on: "Your Highness, go for it! Little Swallow, be careful!"

After a fierce battle, they finally managed to defeat the monster.

Little Swallow jumped off the monster's back, panting, and said, "This monster is really tough to deal with!"

Hongzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, but we still defeated them. It seems that the Misty Forest is not invincible after all."

Looking at the surrounding mist, Hongli said, "We can't let our guard down. Let's continue searching for clues about the Spirit Pearl."

They continued their trek through the misty forest, unaware of the dangers that lay ahead. But their resolve remained unwavering: to uncover the secrets of the Shadow Pavilion and bring the Minister of Rites to justice. The political landscape of the court remained ever-changing, and their adventure continued.
