You have to go through a small path from the bathhouse to the main hall.
Yin Lian walked leisurely, hands at her side.
Su Yelin was in front, with a considerable distance between her and Yin Lian, so she deliberately walked slowly.
"Is sister not angry anymore?" Yin Lian tested.
"When did I get angry?" Su Yelin suddenly turned around and raised one hand.
Yin Lian ran excitedly towards Su Ye Lin, but as soon as she touched his hand, it was pushed away and she received a cold shower.
"Don't dawdle, my dad is waiting for you to come back and talk!" Su Yelin urged.
"Yes, sister."
Yin Lian ran over to Su Yeling with a smile, but she quickly noticed a few groups of dark figures emerging faintly from the corner ahead. Immediately, she stopped Su Yeling and quietly warned, "Sister, be careful. Your Su family's enemies have arrived."
Su Yelian was greatly shocked, and a sudden burst of sweat appeared in the palm of his hand.
Yin Lian grabbed Su Ye Lin's wrist and squeezed it tightly before solemnly saying:
"Rest assured, I'm here to protect you. You won't have any problems."
Su Yelin still did not dare to pin his hopes on Yin Lian and anxiously asked, "..."
"Will they start here?"
Yin Lian speculated, "Since they came, they must have come to capture you."
Su Yelin's heart raced as he thought that Chen Er had already been kidnapped, and now it was his turn. In this moment of danger, the previous annoyance towards Yin Lian instantly vanished, and his gaze was firmly locked on Yin Lian.
"Listen," Yin Lian explained her plan, "We'll first hide in a safe place and wait until the danger has passed before going back home."
"Safe place?" Although Su Yelin was skeptical, she still agreed to follow Yin Lian.
Ahead, a group of dark figures was discovered, and they leaped out, exposing themselves in the moonlight - it was a gang of people wearing blue fanged masks, steadily closing in.
Yin Lian immediately pulled Su Yelin and ran away. On the escape route, Yin Lian was surprised to catch a glimpse of another masked person in a black robe staring at her intently, yet not making a move.
Are there two groups of people? Yin Lian's doubt vanished in an instant. Soon, both of them were running out of breath and covered in sweat. Su Yao Lin couldn't run any further.
Next to it was a dilapidated Yue Lao temple. As soon as they entered, Yin Lian frantically propped up the fallen door, while Su Ye Lin helped out. He questioned in doubt, "..." [Please provide the rest of the paragraph for a complete translation]
"This door was already broken. Aren't you telling them that we are hiding here by doing this?"
Yin Lian also realized this. Suddenly, a hidden force surged towards her, kicking open the door she was holding onto. The door shattered into numerous pieces, flying everywhere. Yin Lian quickly pulled Su Yelin to one side.
Su Ye took a terrified glance at the ferocious-looking Qingmian Liaoya who walked in, sticking closely behind Yin Lian. He whispered in a reproachful tone, "Why did you come?"
"Is this what you call a safe place?"
Yin Lian scratched her head sheepishly, in fact, she only said that out of desperation.
Qing Mian Liao Ya, the leader with a grim face and fangs, spoke up first:
"Young man, are you the Second Lord Lian who was ordered to guard the tomb?"
Yin Lian, hearing his voice resonate like an ancient bell and his aura powerful like a flood, realized that his inner strength was far from ordinary. She quickly argued back:
"You say it is, then it is. You say it's not, then it's not. Ultimately, you can decide for yourself, so why bother asking others!"
"Brat, you're asking for death!" cursed one of his grim-faced accomplices with sharp fangs.
The leader of the fierce-looking gang grinned and said,
"We know who you are even without you speaking. As long as you obediently reveal the whereabouts of the 'General's Order,' we won't kill you tonight!"
"What general's order? I haven't heard of it. You probably need to ask someone else for information. However, I'm kind-hearted and can tell you that Baodating, a reliable source in Fengcheng, resides in the Lichun Inn. You can go there and ask him, but be aware that his services are quite expensive," said Yin Lian earnestly.
The fierce-faced leader spoke, "Little brat, you truly shed no tears until you see the coffin. The martial artists of the martial world already know that General Yin has hidden the most powerful martial arts manual in the world, which is the 'General's Command'!"
"I didn't even know about these things regarding my father, but you seem to know more than me. Why don't you just become my father's son instead, taking care of the general's tomb and showing filial piety? I assume both my father and mother wouldn't be pleased to have someone like you, with a fierce and unapproachable mask, as their child. But it's okay, I can accept you as my son..." Yin Lian said arrogantly, crossing her arms.
As Su Yelin listened, she became more and more worried for Yin Lian. It seemed that Yin Lian had angered the other party to the point of certain death.
The leader with a green face and protruding fangs let out a cold laugh. Then, he waved his right hand and four pairs of subordinates rushed out from behind him, moving so quickly that even Yin Lian could hardly distinguish them.
Yin Lian gritted her teeth, her mouth filled with a salty taste. In an instant, she was sent flying, crashing into the wall. As a result, a shower of sand and dust fell upon her head.
Su Yelin ran over anxiously, grabbing Yin Lian's hand and shaking it uncontrollably. Tears were already flowing down her face, choked with sobs, she said,
"Lian'er! You must never have any mishaps..."
Yin Lian sat in the corner and coughed twice, then woke up. She touched her head and smiled, saying,
"Sister, it's all my fault. Master has taught us that being careless in the face of the enemy is a grave mistake for a soldier, and I was in the wrong."
He stood up, pushed Su Yelin aside, took two steps forward, slightly adopted a firm posture, and extended his right palm outward.
"I don't have the 'General's Order', but I do have a set of 'General's Fist Technique' for you all to taste!"
The eight minions with ferocious faces exchanged glances, all of them believing that Yin Lian was just spouting nonsense. Only one of them made the first move, faking a punch and unexpectedly attacking with an uppercut towards the abdomen.
Yin Lian laughed disdainfully. She positioned her left hand as defense and used her right hand for offense. She moved her body and fists simultaneously, leveraging her protective Qi. With a powerful punch shaped like the character "sun," she created a formidable aura that shook the surrounding area. Her opponent was instantly struck through the heart and fell to the ground, lifeless with wide-open eyes.
The seven subordinates of the ferocious-faced man all exclaimed in their hearts, but remained silent on the surface. One person stepped forward, demonstrating their incomparable leg strength. With swift kicks and waist rotations, this person executed a powerful move called "General Galloping Horse". The force was unstoppable, as if facing a thousand-pound iron hoof. Failing to defend against it would result in shattered bones and broken tendons.
Seeing the second person being knocked down to the ground, the third person, fourth person, fifth person, sixth person, and seventh person all rushed forward to surround and attack.
The Green-faced Lurker charged forward like a fierce beast, its claws akin to tiger pincers, with a strange and mysterious gait. If all of them rushed together, they could tear the enemy into countless pieces.
Yin Lian, in order to break through the "Beast Formation" that surrounded them, employed the "General Breaker Formation" technique. With her body executing the "General Sword Dance", she gathered pure Qi at her fingertips, transforming it into an invisible sword. Her arms moved like thunder, every move commanding destruction and slaughter.
Yin Lian "slaughtered" all seven underlings of the Green-Faced Fiend, leaving them dead on the ground.
"Disciple Lian humbly presents the ‘Sword Slash' to defeat the group of beasts." Yin Lian spoke in a deep voice, and as he finished speaking, he regained his composure, closed his eyes, and calmed his breath.
The leader of the ferocious-looking gangsters had been observing from the side. When he saw his subordinates falling one by one without intervening to help, he instead laughed and said,
"You're finished by making an enemy out of our Qingya Sect. Tonight, I won't kill you, but someone else will. In my eyes, you're already a dead man. From now on, the martial world will know that there's someone to carry on the legacy of 'General Wei,' and the 'General's Order' will once again be prevalent in the world!"
Yin Lian did not understand the meaning behind the other party's words. She asked seriously, "What do you mean?"
What relationship does my father have with you, what relationship does 'General's Order' have with you, and what relationship do you have with me?
The head of the fierce gang, with a ferocious face and sharp teeth, glared with hatred and said:
"Yin Si, the biggest lackey of the imperial court, he is the enemy of the entire martial arts world! Boy, before we kill you, you will hate him for why he brought you into this world! Hahaha—" saying this, he was about to leave.
Yin Lian quickly blocked his way and grinned evilly, saying, "You won't kill me because you can't. So why don't you turn around and call for help to kill me? Or better yet, why not let me kill you and save yourself from future troubles?"
The leader of the fierce gang, with a scarred face and protruding teeth, was taken aback. Before he could utter a word, his throat was tightly seized by Yin Lian, the blood gushing as a cracking sound filled the air. In an instant, her finger tore apart his windpipe, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Suyelin, who had long been forgotten on the side, was now covering her mouth with a handkerchief in fear. From the beginning until now, her heart had been pounding incessantly. Although she had never witnessed a brutal scene of killing, she had seen people covered in blood and heard stories of the treacherous nature of the jianghu. She knew that people would go to any lengths for their personal desires, but she never expected that she would encounter what happened tonight with Yinlian.
Especially in this moment, Yin Lian seemed to transform into a commanding general, galloping across all directions with a gun in hand, captivating Su Ye with awe. It was as if the "General of Might" had been revived from the Western Conquest Map on the General's fan.
Yin Lian underwent a tremendous transformation in an instant, leaving her unable to believe her eyes. It wasn't until Yin Lian called out, "Sister," that Su Ye Lin snapped back from the heart-pounding scene just now. Suddenly, she tightly embraced Yin Lian, whose eyes were filled with tears, and her beautiful appearance became radiant in an instant.
