"Aren't they supposed to lose all rationality after transforming? Why haven't they attacked us when they see the two of us here?"

Gongsun Ruyan asked with a smile.

"It's the instinct of animals!"

Yang Yan glanced at the surrounding werewolves and said calmly:

"It's true that these fellows lack rationality, but like ordinary wolves, they never attack creatures stronger than themselves."

"Oh! So this is instinct too?"

Gongsun Ruyan nodded knowingly, acknowledging Yang Yan's explanation.

Just as the two were about to ignore the werewolves and head directly to the deep mountain across, the street lights ahead suddenly went out.

"Uh... Looks like we're not alone. I just don't know if it's werewolves or those people in black robes."

Staring at the faint silhouette in the darkness ahead, Yang Yan said coldly.

"Guests from afar, Wutou Town does not welcome you. Please return to where you came from."

A magnetic male voice came from the shadows.

"It can speak? Seems like not just an ordinary werewolf. But I wonder if it's a Silver Wolf."

Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan quickly exchanged glances, whispering to each other.

"I'll say it one last time. You're not welcome here. Leave, or face the consequences."

The voice in the shadows grew unusually deep when it noticed Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan not moving.

"Stop wasting words, act quickly! Those two are not ordinary people. If they disrupt the lord's plan, the werewolf clan might disappear forever."

A female voice with a chilling tone came from the Void.

"Oh! Looks like this person is the main target we're looking for."

Hearing the woman's voice, Yang Yan wasn't surprised but rather said excitedly.

"Do we need captives?"

Gongsun Ruyan, equally excited, raised the book in her hand slightly and asked Yang Yan.

Yang Yan shook his head gently and said indifferently:

"No, I think there must be someone of higher status inside."

"These kinds of guys can't provide me with the information I want."

"So there's no need to waste time; let's go in and find someone of higher status!"

"Awwooo..."

In the darkness, a wolf's howl rang out again.

With this howl, the surrounding werewolves began to look at Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan with bloodthirsty eyes.

Boom!

A palpable aura of killing intent suddenly spread, making the surrounding air seem to freeze instantaneously.

"Didn't you say these guys wouldn't attack us? Why do they look like they want to eat us?"

Facing the werewolves' killing intent, Gongsun Ruyan remained calm and joked with Yang Yan.

Yang Yan shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"It seems that guy is playing the role of a leader wolf!"

"But don't worry; with these guys, no matter how many come, they won't be enough."

With a clatter...

As something—a flowerpot perhaps—fell, the originally quiet town was suddenly filled with a murderous atmosphere.

The werewolves on the surrounding rooftops also began to move swiftly, stepping towards the two.

"Woo..."

A werewolf, unable to resist the bloodthirsty urge within, directly pounced down from above towards Yang Yan and Gongsun Ruyan.

With that werewolf's movement, the surrounding werewolves launched attacks in a chain reaction.

"Beasts are beasts! No wonder your werewolf clan can only live in such desolate places."

Seeing the werewolves charging, Gongsun Ruyan raised an eyebrow and snorted disdainfully.

"Let's finish this quickly! Looking at the time, things over there should be starting soon too."

Yang Yan glanced at the sky and said coldly.

Before Yang Yan's words fell, Gongsun Ruyan suddenly closed the book in her hand.

At the moment the pages closed, a wave of sharp Sword Qi spread out rapidly, centered on her.

"Ssssss..."

The sound, like scissors tearing through cloth, spread out, as the werewolves lunging towards the two were instantly shredded into pieces by the Sword Qi emanating from Gongsun Ruyan.

"Can't you be a bit gentler? Does it have to be so bloody?"

Yang Yan looked at the messy scene around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Gongsun Ruyan.

"Hmph! Thinking about you coming all this way just to save that woman makes me unhappy. So don't be picky."

Gongsun Ruyan pouted, dissatisfied.

Hearing her straightforward comment, Yang Yan was taken aback and chose to keep silent.

He knew well about Gongsun Ruyan's temper.

She always expressed her displeasure openly, taking action on it.

So, in the past, when she and Zhuge Wushuang had their disputes, Yang Yan always stayed as far away as possible.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm off to save her. Once you're done here, come find me."

Without giving Gongsun Ruyan a chance to respond, Yang Yan shot off into the distance and vanished into the darkness.

Seeing Yang Yan suddenly disappear, the person still in the darkness let out a wolf howl, intending to send the surrounding werewolves to stop him.

"Broken Bridge..."

With Gongsun Ruyan's sharp voice, the werewolves getting ready to chase Yang Yan wobbled as if they hit something, then all fell to the ground.

"Oh? You've blocked off space?"

A woman emerged slowly from the darkness.

Looking at the thread-bound book in Gongsun Ruyan's hand, her eyes were filled with surprise.

"Useless! Take your little pups and chase that man. If you can't kill him, then you might as well die!"

The woman turned to the person in the darkness and said coldly.

"Heh! Do you really think you can handle me all by yourself?"

Gongsun Ruyan looked at the woman in front of her and teased.

As her words fell, Gongsun Ruyan's clothing began to transform.

As her casual attire swiftly morphed into a flowing white gown with a red fur coat, the unknown woman's expression shifted dramatically to solemnity.

"White dress and red coat, you're one of the Moonlight Ten Swords, the Time Sword Gongsun Ruyan?"

The woman immediately recognized Gongsun Ruyan, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Haha! Not bad, recognizing me at a glance. It seems your people have been paying quite a lot of attention to us!"

Gongsun Ruyan was not surprised by the recognition.

On the contrary, it would be strange if the other side didn't recognize her.
