Tang Li Xue's perfect copy dashed toward the mayor's mansion with her full speed.

She even used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] continuously without caring about her current stamina.

'There it is!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy thought as she halted her step.

There was the thin transparent red barrier that covered the mayor's mansion like a giant dome. This was the reason why the mayor's mansion still intact until now even when the two powerful Core Formation Stage Experts were fighting near its entrance.

This red barrier might look thin and transparent compared with the giant bloody barrier which covered the entire Quanhai City, but the former certainly much stronger and resilient than the latter.

"Little Loki, I can only count on you right now! Can you…" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy tried to ask Little Loki in her embrace for help, but before she could finish her words, Little Loki already opened its tiny mouth.

The thin red barrier in front of them started to distort, and a part of the thin red barrier was sucked into Little Loki's mouth. 

The scene was really bizarre and hard to believe.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy already saw this once from the real Tang Li Xue's memories when Little Loki sucked the bloody barrier outside Quanhai City before, so she did not feel that surprised anymore now.

Little Loki stopped devouring the thin red barrier after it managed to create the large five-meter hole in diameter on the barrier.

The large five-meter hole started to slowly close again, so Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not waste any more time and jumped over the stone wall to enter the mayor's mansion without any hesitation.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy still could not use her [Ethereal Form], but her [Art of Concealment] helped a lot this time since all of the crimson-robed guards in the mayor's mansion could not even detect her presence.

BANG~!!! BANG~!!! BANG~!!!

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and flashed toward the crimson-robed guards who were currently guarding at the back door in an instant.

Her slender palm danced around and three jade-like swords instantly created from her [Energy Manipulation] divine ability.

The three jade-like swords moved so swiftly and slain all the crimson-robed guards in front of the door before they could even unsheathe their weapons.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy entered the mayor's mansion through this back door. It actually led her to the kitchen.

There was nothing worth her notice here, so Tang Li Xue's perfect copy sprinted deeper into the mansion.

After passed through the long corridor and stepped into the big hall at the center of the mansion, Tang Li Xue started to feel dizzy because there were so many doors and stairs here.

"Tsk! This mansion is surprisingly quite big! But I don't have any more time to play hide and seek here! The heck… I do not even know what I am searching for now?!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy murmured in frustration as her three jade-like swords moved swiftly and slain a few crimson-robed guards in the hall easily.

There were clearly no strong guards in this mansion and the number of crimson-robed guards here was also too little. It seems the leader of these mysterious groups had a lot of confidence in their thin red barrier outside.

When Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was still confused about what to do…

"Nyaaa~~!!!" Little Loki licked the smooth wrist of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy glanced at Little Loki in her embrace and comforted it: "Little Loki, I know you must be hungry now, but we have something important to do right now, so please be patient. I will surely buy you a lot of delicious foods after this, okay?"

"Nya~ Nya~!!!" Little Loki pointed its tiny paws toward the stair on the south area, and then it pointed its tiny paws again upward.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy frowned and looked at Little Loki skeptically before asking: "You mean we must climbing up that stairs and heading to the higher floor?"

"Nyaw~~!!!" Little Loki nodded its tiny furry head cutely.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy hesitated for a few moments before decided to follow Little Loki's instruction.

However, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not dare to let her guard's down at all, and she kept mobilizing her [Extrasensory Perception] at the maximum ever since she entered this mansion until now.

It was quite tiring, but she did not want to fall into any trap in the middle of the enemy's place.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy climbed the stair to the second floor, and she followed the direction where Little Loki pointed to her.

However, when Tang Li Xue's perfect copy turned to the right at the intersection in the long corridor…

'DANGER~!!!' 

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy reflexively used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and tilted her flexible slender body to the left side.

A silver spear thrust toward the perfect copy's head from behind!

The silver spear should have missed Tang Li Xue's perfect copy now, but the tip quickly changed its trajectory in an instant and chased after the perfect copy's neck right now!

The sensing ability of [Extrasensory Perception] was very sharp, so Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could already feel it a few milliseconds before it changed trajectory!

'Shit! This person is good!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy complained in her heart.

[Auto Correction]!

[0.53 degree to the right… Correction…]

With the power of this divine ability, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy subconsciously lowered her knees for a bit.

BBAAAAAANNGGG~!!!

The silver spear grazed Tang Li Xue's fox mask and embedded deeply onto the wall on her right side.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy turned around to see her attacker, while the three jade-like swords which kept hovering above her flashed toward her attacker!

The attacker pulled his silver spear and quickly jumped a few steps backward to keep his distance with Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but the three flying jade-like swords kept chasing after him.

The attacker stabbed his silver spear rapidly, and his quick martial arts created many silver glowing afterimages of his silver spears!

BAAANG~!!! BAAANG~!!! BAAANG~!!!

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not put much energy into creating these three swords before, and she did not even use elemental compression on creating it either, so the attacker's counterattack managed to shatter her three jade-like swords into countless pieces like glass.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

The fox mask on Tang Li Xue's face cracked and shattered too. 

The previous attack had actually left several tiny cracks on her fox mask, but it only crumbled now after the tiny cracks had spread now. 

Even her black hood flew backward a bit because of the shockwave before.

Thankfully, her pair of furry fox ears were still covered by her black hood.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was in a hurry, so she did not have any time to cover her peerlessly beautiful face like the shy human girl right now.

She wanted to kill this attacker as fast as possible, but she stiffened when she saw her attacker.

'This person is… the handsome man who saved that blood witch from the several rapers before!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy exclaimed in her mind.

Yes, this person's identity was actually Ye Zhen, the Immortal Sword Sect's Core Disciple.

Just like Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, Ye Zhen also secretly sneaked into this mansion, while the elder from his Immortal Sword Sect, Elder Yang, was fighting to distract the black-masked old man outside.

Unlike Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, Ye Zhen used a spatial-type treasure to bypass the thin red barrier outside the mansion.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy stared at the jade insignia on Ye Zhen's waist and read the 'Immortal Sword Sect's Core Disciple' written on its surface.

While Ye Zhen was completely stunned by Tang Li Xue's appearance after her fox mask was destroyed.

Clear and delicate smooth skin as white as snow…

Seductive pinkish lips like ripe cherry blossom...

Mesmerizing pair of topaz blue eyes filled with innocence charm without any impurities and long silver eyelashes… 

Her silky silver hair and eyebrows matched really perfectly with her milky snow skin enhanced her peerless beauty by many times.

The innocent-looking maiden in front of him clearly possessed the matchless beauty that could make any fairies, flowers, and stars lost their charms.

Since his birth until now, all in Ye Zhen's head was only about martial arts and cultivation.

The only person he ever admired was Elder Yang.

Even the almost naked blood witch from before was failed to move Ye Zhen's heart.

But right at this moment… he had finally found someone who could make him even more infatuated than martial arts and cultivation.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy already knew that the man in front of her must have been captivated by her beauty just like what happened to Mogui before.

She could even make a sneaky move to kill this man right now, and she has more than 80% chance of success, but she chose not to do it in the end.

'This person is the core disciple from Immortal Sword Sect. He should be in the same group as the Elder of Immortal Sword Sect outside. His goal should be the same as mine! To stop this blood barrier!' Tang Li Xue's eyes brightened after she realized it.

'The enemy of my enemy is my friend! Two people are clearly better than one! If I offer him to cooperate with me, he should be happy to accept it, right?! Our purpose is the same after all!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy thought.
