Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

Following Meng Wan's trail for a while, Yan Zhaoge eventually lost her tracks.

Although Yan Zhaoge felt a bit regretful, he did not dwell on it too much.

However, not long after, his subordinates reported back, having found Meng Wan's whereabouts again.

Without much thought, Yan Zhaoge and his group followed once more. But after chasing through mountains and valleys for a while, the woman's trail disappeared again.

"There's something wrong." After this repeated several times, Yan Zhaoge stopped, his gaze deep.

A black-robed master beside him nodded: "It seems she's leading us somewhere."

Yan Zhaoge looked at the towering mountains before him: "An ambush? It doesn't seem like it; we've passed many suitable places for an ambush along the way."

After a moment of thought, a faint smile appeared on Yan Zhaoge's lips: "Let's see what you're up to."

With a wave of his hand, he signaled for everyone to spread out. The black-robed warriors immediately dispersed silently into the dense forest.

Yan Zhaoge continued to move through the mountains and forests. A moment later, a black-robed warrior suddenly reported back.

"Master, about two li to the east of here, there are disciples of the Great Sun Holy Sect active in a valley."

Yan Zhaoge looked at him, and the black-robed warrior nodded: "They are all young disciples at the Body Tempering stage, who entered the Dragon Suppressing Abyss with Chao Yuanlong."

"Let's go take a look." Yan Zhaoge walked east.

The group concealed their presence and silently approached the valley, climbing a nearby hill to look down into the valley.

They saw that there were already two groups of people facing off in the valley.

One group consisted of three people, all dressed in white with red cuffs and sun patterns, clearly disciples of the Great Sun Holy Sect.

The three were spread out in a fan shape, forming a semi-circle, their gazes focused on one person.

The person facing them was a girl.

She wore a white robe and wielded a black saber, her black hair flowing like a waterfall.

Beside her, a small black dog crouched, its eyes alert and fixed on the three Great Sun Holy Sect disciples surrounding her master.

Yan Zhaoge's gaze fell on the long saber in the girl's hand.

The blade was as black as ink, not reflecting any light under the sun, as if it were made of charcoal rather than metal.

But even from a distance, Yan Zhaoge could feel the sharpness of the black saber, which made his entire body feel cold.

The girl's hand held the saber steadily, without the slightest waver.

Although her white robe was different from the usual attire of Great Sun Holy Sect disciples,

just by the way she held the saber, Yan Zhaoge's eyelids twitched: "Huh, the Westward Slanting Heaven-Burning Saber..."

The Westward Slanting Heaven-Burning Saber, along with the Central Heaven Divine Palm and the Sunset Residual Light Thousand Illusions Palm, is one of the seven great techniques of the Great Sun Holy Sect, a renowned saber technique recognized worldwide.

This white-robed girl was clearly also a disciple of the Great Sun Holy Sect.

"Someone is being pursued for secretly learning martial arts, or is it an internal conflict within the sect?"

Yan Zhaoge became interested and had his black-robed warriors spread out, continuing to search for Meng Wan while also keeping watch around the valley.

The three Great Sun Holy Sect disciples were all focused on the white-robed girl.

One of the slightly older young men spoke: "Junior Sister Feng, we are just helping Senior Brother Xiao. Don't take it personally."

The white-robed girl smiled: "Talking won't help; we'll have to settle this with our hands. It seems you won't let me pass."

Her words were like a string of pearls, spoken very quickly but clearly and decisively.

Despite the strong enemies surrounding her, she remained calm and composed, speaking with ease.

Another younger Great Sun Holy Sect disciple smiled: "We won't let you pass, but there's no need to fight, right?"

"Junior Sister Feng, you did reach the Master level before, but that was in the past."

"Now, your old injuries haven't healed, and you have new ones. You can't mobilize your Inner Qi, and your Inner Breath is weak. You don't even have half of your full strength left. Don't struggle in vain."

"Just follow us back to see Senior Brother Xiao. Otherwise, if we fight, you'll just get more hurt, and we'll feel bad about it."

Yan Zhaoge, watching from the side, smiled. Although the three Great Sun Holy Sect disciples seemed to have the upper hand, the Westward Slanting Heaven-Burning Saber was fierce and violent. If the girl fought to the death, they would also be worried about getting hurt.

It was best to break her fighting spirit with words.

At the very least, the signal had been sent. As time passed, more Great Sun Holy Sect members would arrive, making it easy to capture the girl.

From Yan Zhaoge's perspective, the girl was a rare beauty, not as dazzling as Meng Wan or as clear and beautiful as Sikong Qing, but at least on par with Lin Yushao.

She had an oval face with soft and bright features, though her ears were a bit large, which was a minor flaw.

But her eyes exuded a rare kind of heroism in a woman.

She wasn't as stunning at first glance as Meng Wan, Sikong Qing, or Lin Yushao, but the more you looked at her, the more appealing she became.

Upon closer inspection, she seemed no less beautiful than Meng Wan or Sikong Qing.

However, Yan Zhaoge could see that in her eyes, besides heroism, there was a killing intent far beyond the ordinary.

Her black saber had truly seen blood.

The girl laughed: "What are you waiting for? Come and catch me. Why be so cautious with three against one?"

She smiled at the Great Sun Holy Sect disciples: "Silver-tipped lances, good to look at but useless."

The Great Sun Holy Sect disciple's face changed slightly, and he snorted, staring at the girl with a gradually more malicious smile: "So, Junior Sister Feng, you've been lacking a man these days?"

"I wonder how you solve this problem? Could it be with the black dog at your feet? No wonder you always bring it."

"But it's too much for you to be with a dog. How about I, your junior brother, help you?"

The girl was not angry, and she said slowly: "Unfortunately, you're wrong. My dog, Rou Rou, is female."

The small black dog at her feet barked, its eyes fiercely staring at the Great Sun Holy Sect disciple.

But if you looked closely, it indeed had no male parts.

The girl continued calmly: "As for a junior brother like you, a toothpick, I'll pass. Even if you break it in half and put it together, it's still just two toothpicks thick. No woman could use it."

The Great Sun Holy Sect disciple's face turned white with anger.

Another person beside him snorted and stared at the girl with a malicious smile: "Junior Sister, you seem to know a lot about Junior Brother Cai's size. Looks like you've tried it."

"I'm guessing," the girl smiled indifferently. "If I'm right or wrong, why don't Junior Brother Cai take off his pants and let us all see?"

Not only was the Great Sun Holy Sect disciple enraged, but Yan Zhaoge, watching from the side, was also stunned.

Girl, while we in the martial world don't mind small details, your appearance and demeanor suggest you're likely still a virgin, or at least not very experienced in that area.

Is it appropriate to speak so boldly and compete with men in such a way?

The Great Sun Holy Sect disciple, Cai, was furious and walked toward the girl with a sinister smile: "We'll see if I'm a toothpick soon!"

The girl raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "Junior Brother, you just need to stay where you are."

"Because, I, your senior sister, will come to you!"

Before her words were even finished, the saber light had already risen!

Like the sun setting in the west, the sun falling!

The saber's edge seemed to burn the sky and destroy the earth!
