Chapter Six of the Romantic Continent: The Winged Maiden Reappears

From the outside, the true nature of Liangping Manor is completely unknown. The surrounding walls are not high, only eighteen feet tall, two feet shorter than the walls of Xitong City, seemingly only for defense against petty thieves and wild animals.

However, they are constructed of specially made large blue bricks, which are extremely hard; even a sharp sword would likely only leave a slight mark on them.

The entire manor covers a vast area, with a small river originating from Liangping Mountain winding around it, forming a natural moat that surrounds over a hundred houses of various styles, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, like a large square formation containing smaller squares. On either side of the manor gate are two arrow towers, each twenty-four feet high, forming the simplest and most practical defense.

The most striking feature is undoubtedly the two silver-white towers in the center of the manor. All the houses are arranged around these two towers, with large squares containing smaller squares, and within those smaller squares, like a spiral maze, surrounding three-story towers with upturned eaves and pointed roofs, seemingly reaching into the clouds. What

if someone unfamiliar with the area entered?

If an unfamiliar person were to enter, they would find it difficult to figure out the route in a short time. However, those in the tower could see the intruders very clearly, and the tower could even serve as a command center when fighting back.

In the thin mist, the lanterns on the tower were like beacons in the night, guiding countless moths into their trap.

Ye Tianlong moved silently between the houses, even he found it somewhat unbelievable that he seemed to be very familiar with the layout, walking with such ease that he didn't disturb any sentries along the way, and soon approached the central area of the manor. There was

a large courtyard on each of the four sides, guarding the two towers in the middle. The surrounding houses were layered and overlapping, and once inside, it was dark and difficult to find one's way.

This was the central area of the manor, and no outsiders were allowed to enter except for a few people in the know; it was a restricted area within the manor.

A series of courtyards of varying sizes were built around it, inhabited by the prominent figures of the manor. Some of these were also housing trusted guards and henchmen responsible for protecting the area.

Two burly men dressed in gray stood at the entrance, their bodies pressed tightly against the screen wall, making them virtually invisible without close inspection.

Ye Tianlong stopped, looking around. On either side of him stretched a continuous row of houses, their walls smooth and thick, built of large blue bricks. From where he stood to the section between the two sentry posts, there was nothing to hide behind; stealthily infiltrating was impossible.

Just as he was about to get up and climb onto the roof, a sudden thought struck him. He retreated to his hiding place, silently circulating his inner energy around the corner, using his six senses to probe his surroundings.

In an instant, his consciousness transcended the walls of the houses before him, clearly seeing the situation ahead.

[That was close!] Ye

Tianlong was immediately chilled to the bone by the scene before him. The security inside was exceptionally tight; even behind the roof ridge, four burly men dressed entirely in black were lying in ambush. Each of them carried a powerful crossbow and had a knife on their back, positioned to monitor every movement in the surrounding area.

The security inside felt overcrowded. Dozens of burly men, positioned according to specific locations, completely controlled the area surrounding the two towers and the vast central building.

Each of them wore fine chainmail, with a leather bag containing six javelins slung across their back and one in their hand. The javelins were five feet long, thinner and shorter than the lightning javelins used by Cynthia and her companions. They were made of solid iron, gleaming black, and significantly heavier than military javelins.

What troubled Ye Tianlong most was that each of them had a whistle in their mouth, clearly indicating... Any conflict with any of them would immediately attract the attention of others, unless they could be killed before they could raise the alarm.

This seemingly ordinary mountain villa was surprisingly extraordinary. Ye Tianlong's curiosity intensified.

Armed with equipment superior to that of a regular army, well-trained sentries, and such tight security—what kind of treasure lay within that large central building?

As he pondered this, a sudden alarm bell rang in Ye Tianlong's mind; he sensed faint footsteps approaching.

Quickly regaining his composure, Ye Tianlong took a deep breath and pressed himself tightly against the corner of the wall, using the protruding edge of the corner to conceal his form, making him appear almost unrecognizable.

The footsteps grew closer; there were five people. Then, a sliver of light pierced through the thin mist.

"How could you allow outsiders to stay at the villa?"

a dignified voice rang out, the voice of a middle-aged man, with a strange vibration in his words, seemingly containing a certain rhythm.

"Master, you may not know, but these guests are of rather special status, so I had no choice but to let them stay."

The moment this voice reached Ye Tianlong's ears, he was secretly startled. Wasn't that the old doorman's voice? Hmm, it seemed his status wasn't low either!

"Oh, who are they? That you made such a decision?"

Clearly, the master had also become interested, and his tone no longer carried the stern rebuke.

"That man is Ye Tianlong, the Governor of Fast, the rumored rogue."

The old doorman explained, "I didn't want him to come in either, but judging from his tone, he insisted. I was afraid that if a conflict broke out, it would be very detrimental to the important matters of our manor." "

Hmm, your idea makes sense." "

It seems this master is a kind and understanding person, and quite astute, immediately grasping what the old doorman meant.

[A rogue like Ye Tianlong can't be reasoned with. He doesn't respect others' opinions; he only does what he wants. If we don't let him in, who knows what he'll do? Maybe he'll start a fight and break down the door. He's arrogant and capable of anything. We can't let him ruin our years of hard work over such a small matter."

He paused, then asked, "[Have you sent anyone to monitor their movements?]" "

[Yes! I've sent five men to the guest rooms.]"

the old doorman replied respectfully. Suddenly, he chuckled, then said, "[I never imagined Ye Tianlong's lust was even more intense than rumored.]" "

[Really?]" the master's interest grew. "

[Except for Ye Tianlong, the entire group consists of women!]" "

The old doorman's words were tinged with sighs, perhaps even more so with envy.

'I really wonder if Ye Tianlong is a madman? What's his mentality in bringing so many women with him when he goes out?'

The master also said with great interest, 'I'd like to see if that beautiful war goddess is by his side. How could she like such a lecherous man?' The light moved forward, the footsteps grew farther and farther away, and the sound gradually faded.

Only when they were far enough away did Ye Tianlong breathe a sigh of relief, and his body returned to normal.

'Damn it, he actually thought of me as that kind of person,'"

Ye Tianlong cursed under his breath in frustration. He hadn't expected his bad reputation to have such an effect; he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, judging from these people's tone, they seemed to know him very well, intimately familiar with everything about him, clearly having studied him extensively.

But why would such a mysterious manor pay so much attention to him?

While pondering this, Ye Tianlong discreetly observed the movements of the five people ahead.

A man carrying a lantern led the way, with two others in the middle, talking as they walked—presumably the master and the old gatekeeper. Behind them followed two large men, their steps steady and powerful, each stride perfectly synchronized.

The guards silently emerged to salute them before disappearing back into the darkness; every movement revealed their disciplined training.

The bright moon in the sky shone with an eerie light, emitting a pale pink halo, gradually blurring the green lanterns and coating them with a reddish glow.

A sharp cry rang out, followed by another, utterly irritating.

"[What's going on? Its cries seem a bit off today!]"

The master, walking towards the central house, couldn't help but ask, a question arising in his mind.

Before the two burly guards at the door could reply, the old gatekeeper beside the master suddenly changed his expression.

"[Oh no, it's a blood moon!]" "

[A blood moon!?]"

The master's face also changed, looking up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw that half of the bright moon was now shrouded in darkness, the other half a blood-red color, staining the surrounding clouds red, as if the moonlight were dripping blood. "

[Oh no! Quickly, go check on those treasures inside, don't let them escape...]" the master practically screamed. In an instant, all the burly guards around him appeared, rushing towards them.

A half-moon of blood is an irresistible temptation for demonic creatures raised using demonic methods. Moreover, at this moment, the yin energy is at its peak, greatly reducing the power of any magical artifacts that could restrain it.

This shift in power is something the man the old gatekeeper calls his master is acutely aware of the danger he faces.

This is already the most dangerous time for his demonic creatures, and with the added influence of this once-in-a-millennium half-moon of blood, if the creatures inside were to lose control, the consequences…

He dared not think further and immediately ordered his burly men to prepare. At the same time, he raised his head and let out a sharp whistle. Meanwhile, the old gatekeeper intently watched the door of the building with a tense expression.

Seven men dressed in green robes appeared like ghosts, stealthily approaching the building while the enemy was in disarray. Ye Tianlong saw this clearly; these green-robed men had leaped out of the tower with remarkably light and agile movements, clearly possessing considerable martial arts skills.

The baby's cries grew increasingly shrill, and soon, a series of violent impacts echoed from the windowless, doorless house.

"Don't panic!"

one of the seven green-robed men cried out, his voice shrill. He gestured to his companions, who immediately moved silently toward the house.

"You stay here and guard this place, don't let any outsiders..."

Before he could finish, a massive black shadow loomed over them, the whooshing sound and the ripples in the air startling everyone.

"You dare defy the heavens, creating monsters here!" The commotion in the air

and that beautiful voice were unforgettable for Ye Tianlong. He never expected to encounter the Winged Wind Clan again in this place. There

were six Winged Wind Clan members in the air, led by the same young girl.

The people of Liangping Manor paled upon seeing the Winged Wind Clan, clearly knowing who they were dealing with. The alarm bells on the two towers were finally rang by the sentries, who had snapped out of their shock, and the entire Liangping Manor was thrown into chaos.

Because the Winged Wind Clan members were traveling by air at a high altitude, the sentries on the towers hadn't anticipated an aerial intrusion into the manor. Their attention was focused on the commotion on the ground, allowing the Winged Wind Clan members to easily cross their perimeter and fly over the central area. "

[Oh no, we seem to have gone the wrong way. This is the place we passed when we came in.]" Yu Fengwu stopped, listening intently to the sounds inside, carefully trying to determine their location. Unlike Ye Tianlong, they weren't lucky. After entering the manor from the guest room area, they found themselves struggling through various alleyways.

Although they could sense Ye Tianlong's location, they couldn't reach him in one step. They could only circle the buildings, weaving left and right through the alleys, searching for a way forward.

They couldn't escape from the rooftops because some of the high-rises had lurking sentries, and alerting them could lead to an open conflict. They only wanted to quietly observe and find Ye Tianlong.

Because the architecture of Liangping Manor's buildings was completely unconventional, not arranged according to the known formation, and the buildings were all connected, blocking out the sky, Yu Fengwu and Liu Qin'er couldn't make the right judgment and thus became lost in the dark, adjacent buildings, not knowing where they were.

[Forget it, let's just fight our way in!] The dragon

girl was already seething with anger; this kind of probing was simply not to her liking. If it weren't for Yu Fengwu's persuasion, she would have already taken action. Now, hearing the alarm bells ringing inside the manor, she naturally couldn't hold back any longer.

"[That's right! If we had just grabbed someone to question earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.]"

Princess Qian chimed in, "[This damned manor should really be burned down!]" "

[You two!]" Liu Qin'er couldn't help but smile bitterly, just as she was about to say something, the manor's alarm bells rang urgently, one after another.

"[What happened inside?]" "

[Could it be that Tianlong was discovered by the people of the manor?]"

Yu Fengwu and the others immediately wondered.

In that instant, the manor was brightly lit, and chaotic footsteps came from all directions. Soon, several people appeared from around the corner, weapons in hand, their expressions tense. "

[Take care of them! Remember to leave one alive!]" "

The moment the two sides met, Yu Fengwu acted decisively, shouting in a sweet voice. The burly men from the manor rushed towards Yu Fengwu and her companions, brandishing their swords and knives. These few beautiful women were hardly a threat to them.

[Are you the thieves who invaded the manor?]

The leader, a burly man in blue, charged forward, not forgetting to use his verbal skills.

[Beautiful female thieves! Surrender obediently, and I'll give you a good beating!]

[Die!]

Long Ling'er, enraged, fearlessly met the man's steel blade with a claw. Five streams of energy transformed into a terrifying torrent, whistling away."

As if struck by a ten-thousand-pound hammer, the burly man at the front was sent flying by the force of the impact. His sternum caved in, leaving a gaping hole, and blood gushed from his mouth. His steel knife shattered into several pieces, flying far away.

Princess Qian, who was a step slower, acted even more decisively, quickly creating a blazing stream of air with a swift hand seal.

[Infernal Hell!]

Before the seven burly men behind could even react, a massive ball of blazing flame appeared above them, like a net woven from fire serpents, descending upon them.

After a short scream, they vanished into thin air, turning the place into a living hell, leaving no survivors.

[Where are the prisoners I wanted?]

Seeing the two girls kill their opponents in an instant, Yu Fengwu couldn't help but shake her head and ask.

[Uh, this…]

Long Ling'er and Princess Xin paused simultaneously, then pointed at each other and said in unison, [It's all her fault. She should have been responsible for the prisoners!]

[Never mind, we can catch another one later.]

Seeing the two girls about to argue again, Liu Qin'er quickly intervened to mediate. With that, she pointed upwards and leaped into the air using the "Soaring Crane" technique. The

alleyway was flanked by sturdy firewalls, and even the lowest rooftops were about 15 or 16 feet high, but for Feng Wu and the others, leaping up was effortless. Only Princess Qian needed a little space to gain momentum; the others could leap from the spot. "

[Be careful!]"

Yu Feng Wu exclaimed, quickly leaping into the air, a Wind Spear formed from condensed true energy already in her hand. With her martial arts skills deepening, she was now wielding the Wind Spear with increasing ease.

Not far away, several dark figures sprang up from the eaves, their hands flashing, unleashing a rain of hidden weapons. They had seen these women kill eight of their companions in an instant, knowing they were facing incredibly skilled masters, and thus resorted to a sneak attack.

Suspended in mid-air, with no foothold, facing a barrage of hidden weapons hurtling towards her, Liu Qin'er immediately regained her composure. She knew that her haste and recklessness had put her in a very difficult situation. Before the battle at Qingfeng Mountain, she would have been completely helpless against such a sneak attack.

With a sharp cry, Liu Qin'er's rapidly ascending figure suddenly paused briefly. The next moment, her delicate body plummeted downwards against all odds, like a stone falling rapidly.

These two movements were incredibly swift and agile.

Two small throwing forks, a shadowless needle, and five or six piercing darts whistled through the air, striking only the afterimages left behind by Liu Qin'er.

The mountain villa thugs who had been secretly attacking were all dumbfounded. Their sure-fire attack had been evaded by their opponent. They almost doubted whether their opponent was human or a ghost. A

sword light unfolded, like a dazzling ribbon, and Yu Fengwu was already before them.

Before they could even react, a fierce burst of energy, shooting out in a fan shape in front of Yu Fengwu, easily decapitated the thugs. Blood shot into the sky, and the two severed corpses fell onto the roof, tumbling before mingling with the blood rain on the ground.

A gentle breeze suddenly arrived, and Liu Qin'er, Long Ling'er, and Princess Qian leaped to Yu Fengwu's side. In front of them, more than thirty thugs from the manor swarmed forward, shouting and brandishing their swords, seemingly intent on cutting the four women into pieces.

But they were not facing ordinary experts, but rather formidable female killing machines. Their numerical advantage was utterly useless against them.

Princess Qian's magic alone was beyond their ability to withstand, not to mention the beautiful war goddess Yu Fengwu and the dragon clan expert Long Ling'er. Even outnumbered thirty, they were no match for them.

In a single misstep, this place became a bloodbath.

More than thirty thugs fell in all directions the instant they made contact, like beans being scattered. Limbs and remains littered the ground, the stench of blood making one want to vomit.

"Haha, even Big Sister forgot to leave one alive!"

The four of them sped across the rooftops, the two beautiful girls finding common ground in their conversation, their expressions relaxed, showing no awareness of the impending bloodshed.

Yu Fengwu ignored them, continuing on her way while asking Liu Qin'er, whose face was slightly pale, with concern: "Are you injured?"

"No, I just overexerted myself a little, I'll recover quickly."

Liu Qin'er shook her head. She had been caught off guard by the enemy's sneak attack and had used the "Flash Combo" technique, causing excessive depletion of her true energy.

Moreover, she felt a surge of excitement. Through this experience, she gained a new understanding of how to transform the sword technique "Flash Combo" into a movement technique. Her accumulated knowledge finally erupted at the critical moment of life and death, resulting in a breakthrough.

"By the way, what about the people we left in the guest rooms..." Liu Qin'er asked worriedly as she sped along.

"Don't worry, they'll handle it." Yu Fengwu smiled and said to Liu Qin'er, "They know how to deal with the current situation."

Just then, a rumbling sound began to emanate from the ground in the central area of the manor, followed by a burst of red light, mixed with wisps of green light, which intertwined in mid-air to form an enormous net.

At this moment, the two towering towers in the central area were shrouded in a blood-red mist, which merged with the net of light in mid-air, emitting an extremely eerie aura.

"This is troublesome," Liu Qin'er sighed, stamping her foot. "There's even the Nine Heavens Blood Light Array protecting this place."

"There's no other way but to fight our way through from below. " Yu Fengwu also sighed slightly. This Nine Heavens Blood Light Array, combined with the Ghost Eye and Yin Eye, was so powerful that even the power of a divine artifact could not force its way in. In addition, today was a rare blood moon half-moon, making its power even more astonishing.
