Chapter 352 Sneaking into the Yu Family
It was almost dusk before Ling Jiuan set out.
Lei Tingyi stood beside her, frowning, "Let me go with you! I'm still worried."
After all, our chances of winning are greater if we take him with us.
Ling Jiuan turned his head, looked at Lei Tingyi's worried eyes, and just smiled.
"Liu Zhu and Liu Ying will accompany me. They are agile and resourceful, and can handle any emergency. You stay in Lei Xiao Sect, and don't worry about me."
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi was silent for a long time.
He knew that Ling Jiuan had made his decision and would not change it.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Okay, I promise you. But you must be careful and ensure your own safety. I will wait for you to come back to Lei Xiao Sect."
Ling Jiuan nodded.
"Do not worry!"
So, Ling Jiuan took Liu Zhu and Liu Ying out of Lei Xiao Sect.
In order to return here as soon as possible to report important information, Ling Jiuan decided to use spiritual power to travel.
She was seen chanting a spell while quickly making complicated hand gestures with her hands. Then a light breeze blew across their faces, and the three figures instantly became light, as if they had merged with the surrounding air, transforming into three streams of light, shuttling through the mountains and forests.
After a day of hurried walking, the setting sun was already hanging low in the sky.
At this moment they stopped in front of a forest.
Ling Jiuan frowned. Occasionally, a low and long sound came from the depths of the woods. It seemed like the humming of some ancient creature, or some unknown language of nature, which made people feel chilly.
The air around seemed to flow slower without anyone noticing, as if even time had become sticky here, and every step forward required more effort than usual.
What is even more disturbing is that those seemingly ordinary trees have strange patterns on their trunks, like ancient runes, emitting a faint light.
She motioned Liu Zhu and Liu Ying to get closer, and the three of them stood back to back, looking around vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible changes. Liu Zhu followed Ling Jiuan, and there was some worry in her eyes.
she said softly.
"Master, why don't you take Master Lei with you? After all, he has extraordinary cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan turned to look at Liu Zhu, with a faint smile on his lips.
She was well aware of Liu Zhu's concerns and understood her good intentions, but she was more clear about her own decision.
"If he leaves, the Lei Xiao Sect will be leaderless, and I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Ling Jiuan's voice calmed down.
Liu Zhu was silent for a moment after hearing this. She understood Ling Jiuan's considerations and worries.
She knew that the Lei Xiao Sect was in a precarious situation and needed a strong man like Lei Tingyi to take charge.
So she said no more and just followed Ling Jiuan silently.
Fortunately, although the atmosphere in the forest was very strange along the way, as if every inch of space contained the unknown and mystery, it was gratifying that nothing actually attacked them.
The three people's feet stepped on the thick fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, which was intertwined with the occasional strange low hum coming from afar.
The light in the forest gradually dimmed as the sun set, but the eerie atmosphere seemed to become stronger.
The shadows between the trees seemed to come alive, quietly squirming, giving people a feeling of being watched by countless pairs of eyes.
However, apart from these invisible feelings of oppression, no substantial threats appeared. This made the three of them feel fortunate, but also filled them with doubts - why is such a place with abundant spiritual energy so strange and peaceful?
They passed through the dense forest and came directly to the Yu family's territory.
Ling Jiuan looked around vigilantly, feeling the surrounding breath and movement. She knew that there were countless dangers and unknowns hidden here.
Lei Tingyi, who was in the Leixiao Sect, was also very worried.
He knew that Ling Jiuan was taking a huge risk for Lei Xiao Sect and their promise.
The three of them took some effort and took advantage of the cover of night and the time when the Yu family's patrol team was changing shifts, and finally succeeded in sneaking into the Yu family.
However, the Yu family's strict security was far beyond their expectations.
As soon as they entered the Yu family, they felt the depressing and tense atmosphere.
The guards of the Yu family patrol frequently, and each of them has extraordinary cultivation and is extremely vigilant.
They knew that once they were discovered, they would be in endless trouble.
Therefore, the three of them could only carefully avoid the sight of the guards and try not to attract any attention.
They circled around the outskirts of the Yu family, looking for an opportunity to approach the inner courtyard.
However, the inner courtyard of the Yu family seemed like an airtight fortress, protected by numerous guards and mechanisms.
They tried many methods but were unable to break through the outer courtyard's defenses.
Ling Jiuan frowned and felt secretly anxious.
She knew that time was running out. If she couldn't find clues about Manwu as soon as possible, the Yu family would most likely launch an attack on the Lei Xiao Sect.
So she decided to change her strategy.
She asked Liuzhu and Liuying to continue gathering information from the outside, while she tried to find an opportunity to approach the inner courtyard through the internal channels of the Yu family.
She used her keen perception and judgment to gradually figure out some of the rules and habits within the Yu family.
She discovered that although the Yu family's guards were highly vigilant, they also had some fixed patrol routes and rotation times.
So she decided to take advantage of this rule and made a bold plan.
On a dark and windy night, she took advantage of the guards' shift change to cleverly avoid numerous mechanisms and traps, and finally successfully sneaked into the inner courtyard of the Yu family.
The inner courtyard was brightly lit and heavily guarded.
Ling Jiuan carefully avoided the sight of the guards and looked for clues about Manwu.
Liu Zhu followed closely behind Ling Jiuan and spoke in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance and uneasiness in her tone.
"Master, why is the atmosphere in this inner courtyard so strange? It seems like something ominous is lurking in it."
Ling Jiuan frowned when she heard this, and she also felt that indescribable strange aura.
So, she whispered.
"Don't move yet, we have to find a way to sneak into this inner courtyard. Liuzhu, Liuying, go find three lone maids and quietly tie them up, then we can disguise ourselves as them and sneak into the inner courtyard."
