Ying Lan left a mark at Wonderful Immortal's residence that only Zhong Shan could recognize, then quickly led Tian Ling'er away. Time was limited; everything had to be set up before Wonderful Immortal returned injured.
After walking a short distance, Ying Lan chose a spot at the foot of a great mountain, surrounded by towering ancient trees. It suited her perfectly.
She quickly inspected what Zhong Shan had given her: the Eight Oxen Crossbow, Zhong Shan's specially crafted Eight Oxen Crossbow, long arrows as lengthy as spears, and an exceptionally sturdy folding crossbow bed.
"What is this?" Tian Ling'er asked.
"This is the long arrow that shot and killed the intruder at Zhong Manor that day," Ying Lan explained.
"This long arrow can deal with someone in the Innate Stage, but it might not work against someone in the Golden Core Stage, right? Their True Essence is immensely powerful, and when released, it forms Protective Qi. Though this arrow is strong, it might not be able to pierce the Protective Qi Cover." Tian Ling'er sounded worried.
"It's fine. Though the Protective Qi Cover is strong, Great-Granduncle will certainly be able to weaken it. Besides, don't you still have two jade talismans?" Ying Lan immediately thought of Tian Ling'er's jade talismans.
"Those talismans? At most, they could deal with the Copper Corpse from before. That villain's cultivation is not merely at the Copper Corpse level. Two talismans might not be enough." Tian Ling'er was anxious.
"No. When Wonderful Immortal returns, he will certainly be severely wounded. Once he is injured, we'll adapt to the situation." Ying Lan spoke.
"Mm." Tian Ling'er could only nod.
Then, with Tian Ling'er's help, Ying Lan began assembling the Eight Oxen Crossbow bed. After all, the crossbow string required tremendous force to draw.
