The three of them were seriously injured, and their Vital Energy was exhausted. It seed they no longer had the ability to fight back.
At this mont, they stood back to back, watching the black-clad figures with vigilance.
There were many black-clad figures. Although quite a few had already been killed, there were still more than a dozen remaining.
These dozen or so black-clad figures were all third-order and above Ancient martial artists, with five or six of fourth-order and higher.
The dozen black-clad figures had the three people surrounded, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The three refrained from fighting back because they had exhausted their Vital Energy.
The black-clad figures hadn’t attacked imdiately because they knew Ling Zhiyu was skilled with Poison, fearing she still had Poison hidden on her.
After all, Ling Zhiyu had already taken down several people using Poison just now.
In the standoff, the girl spoke apologetically, "Sister Zhiyu, I’m sorry for implicating you."
Originally, it was just an issue between her and her senior brother; now, it had even endangered Sister Zhiyu’s life.
The boy imdiately added, "I’m sorry, Sister Zhiyu."
Had they known, they should have left quickly with their junior sister after exiting the Trial Realm.
Now, it had dragged Sister Zhiyu into the situation as well.
Ling Zhiyu listened, her expression unchanged, only giving a cold glance at the black-clad figures.
If the black-clad figures showed any intention of attacking, she would act imdiately.
However, she would not act before the black-clad figures made a move.
With her Vital Energy exhausted and Poison almost depleted, she could only wait for reinforcents.
She had already sent a ssage to Big Senior Brother and her martial uncle, and with such commotion, the Law Enforcent Hall would surely be alerted.
So, she had to wait, wait for her martial uncle to arrive, and for the people from the Law Enforcent Hall to co.

The battle involving Ling Zhiyu and her group took place in an ancient-style tavern.
The fight was on the first floor, while upstairs, so people were hiding in fear, and others were sitting and watching the spectacle.
Among those seated was Lin Ruoxue.
Lin Ruoxue looked at the scene downstairs, then glanced at the person sitting across from her, "It seems like the ones being hunted are from your Immortal dical Alliance. Aren’t you going to see for yourself?"
The person sitting across from Lin Ruoxue, dressed in a yellow and white dress, simply smiled gently at Lin Ruoxue’s words, "I’m just a Fragrance Refiner who can’t even truss a chicken. Even if I see, how could I save them?"
Having said that, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a light sip.
Lin Ruoxue was slightly taken aback for a mont but then spoke up, "True enough."
After saying that, she paused for two seconds and added, "With such a commotion, the Law Enforcent Hall should be arriving soon. It’s not our concern."
The person across from Lin Ruoxue heard this, and her hand holding the teacup paused slightly.
Not noticing the movents of those on the ground floor, Lin Ruoxue continued, "However, these people are indeed bold, daring to hunt soone in broad daylight and choosing a place so close to the Trial Tower."
Hearing Lin Ruoxue’s words, the person finally spared a glance at the first floor.

On the first floor, Ling Zhiyu and the two others had been in a standoff with the black-clad figures for one or two minutes.
They initially thought the standoff would last much longer, but suddenly, the leading black-clad figure gave an order, "The Law Enforcent Hall and Immortal dical Alliance people are coming, finish this quickly."
While speaking, he directly grabbed a nearby black-clad figure and threw him towards Ling Zhiyu.
Seeing this, Ling Zhiyu raised her foot and kicked the black-clad figure hard.
The fight began again, and relying on her usual martial skills and the remaining Poison, Ling Zhiyu took down several more black-clad figures. For the mont, they were unable to handle her.
But the boy and girl had already fallen into the hands of the black-clad figures.
Seeing escape was hopeless, the boy tightly shielded the girl in his arms, "If you want to kill, kill , just spare her."
The black-clad figure sneered, "You both have to die."
With that said, he wasted no more words and raised the knife in his hand towards the boy.
