From their aura, the two women in linen clothing are very strong.
One has the aura of a Peak Soldier King, the other is an Advanced Soldier King.
However, the twelve people besieging them include three Peak Soldier Kings, six Advanced Soldier Kings, and three Intermediate Soldier Kings.
With such a disparity in strength, it’s no wonder one of the women in linen clothes is already seriously injured.
About ten kilometers from the tea mountain, there is a peak over five hundred meters high.
This is the location of the Leqing Sect.
It’s also the highest peak within the Secret Realm.
A three-meter wide stone stairway gives the impression of stretching directly from the mountain’s base to its summit.
Approximately one hundred meters from the top, there are several structures.
The innermost and highest of these is very solemn and imposing, but upon closer inspection, appears quite exquisite.
This style is rare to find in the outside world.
Presumably, this is why the Leqing Sect consists entirely of women.
At this moment, a woman who appears very composed is seated at the head seat within one of these buildings.
This chief seat is significantly higher than the other two rows of seats.
It seems to signify different statuses.
In the row to the left, a woman with a very sharp chin is seated.
Both women are relatively young, not more than forty years old.
From appearances alone, they could pass for women in their twenties.
The aura they possess is at the Soldier King Realm.
Thus, their youthful appearance is quite normal.
Generally, martial artists of great strength appear much younger than their actual age.
This is why at thirty-something, they look twenty-something.
"Sect Leader, you don’t need to worry. No one knows about Red Eyes’ operation this time," the woman with the sharp chin said. "And with the strength of Red Eyes and her team, there won’t be any mishaps."
"Furthermore, Le Tian excels at assassination; killing Princess Consort Le shouldn’t be difficult."
"Also, Princess Consort Le has been away for several years; her skills must have regressed considerably."
"So, you have nothing to worry about."
The woman seated at the head seat is the new Sect Leader of the Leqing Sect, Yue Ying—the Princess Consort Le mentioned.
Upon hearing these words from her subordinate, her expression remained unchanged.
With her hand supporting her chin, she spoke after a while, "Even if something unexpected happens, so what?"
"It would just mean they live a little longer."
The woman with the sharp chin showed a trace of fear but quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, the Sect Leader is right."
"With the Sect Leader’s current control over the sect, not even the former Sect Leader could do anything."
"Moreover, those two lack brains and strength."
Yue Ying glanced at her subordinate with indifference, "You can leave now!"
"There are many matters in the sect that require your attention."
The woman immediately rose and took her leave from Yue Ying.
After the woman’s departure, Yue Ying’s expression wasn’t as calm as before.
A sinister smile appeared on her face. If anyone witnessed this, it would certainly send a chill down their spine.
For someone perceived as kind and always smiling, suddenly revealing such an expression would be more frightening than those who naturally look evil.
After all, such people often take actions that instill fear.
At the tea mountain, Princess Consort Le, Lin Xi, and Red Moon rushed towards the summit at top speed.
But the path on the tea mountain was not easy to traverse; it was winding and exhausting.
Otherwise, they would have arrived on horseback.
After approximately five minutes, the trio was close to the peak.
The sound of swords clashing could be faintly heard from the summit.
Princess Consort Le and Red Moon understood clearly that this was their sect’s sword array, which was very powerful.
The more people involved in deploying this sword array, the greater its power.
Previously, Red Moon used this array at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
"How can this be?" Princess Consort Le’s expression was very grim.
Once such an array is used, caution is often abandoned.
