Li Ming was observing the disciples from Guixian Land, who were patrolling the perimeter of the protection barrier.

She smirked at their stupidity. These little fellows had no idea that the Fourth Prince of the Han Empire was already aware of their every single move.

If she had not taken care of him and his guards before coming here, then at midnight there would be a blood bath going on here.

She was lying down on a high branch of a tall tree waiting for the midnight. Who would have known a month ago that she would one day be lying on a tree branch, not feeling any discomfort and enjoying the feeling. But all the thanks goes to Ruoshan.

A few minutes later Alvina, Terra, Clank, Bobble and Fawn came flying towards her and settled around her in a circle.

"How's the situation?" Li Ming asked as she played with one of her rings.

"We successfully completed the task. None of them were prepared for something like that!" Terra said as she smiled proudly.

A satisfied smile appeared on Li Ming's face.

"You all did great tonight. Now, you can return to the mansion. I'll take care of the rest. Tonight, we'll finally get the moonstone!"

It was already the night of full moon. After Li Ming returned to the cave where the Fourth Prince was staying two days ago, she started preparing for the current night.

For the next entire day she locked herself inside the spell room and worked hard to prepare for tonight.

By the time she finished, she had a complete plan ready for her mission. She first needed to take care of the Fourth Prince and his guards, then there were always the disciples from Guixian Land. The only benefit she had was that the Supreme Immortal himself was not coming to take the 'White Pearl Lotus', otherwise even if she poured every single drop of her blood in her mission she would not be successful.

She still had no idea why these people called the Moonstone - "White Pearl Lotus". But she had no time to ask someone and fulfill her curiosity.

Before coming at the protection barrier tonight, she had already cleared up the problem of Zhang Yong and his guards. She mixed a very powerful sleeping potion in their food and just like that, after eating their dinner the whole cave was full of sleeping guards.

She had left the problem of keeping Zhang Yong away on Ruoshan and she didn't even give him an option of failing the task as her ultimate threat was to kick him out of the mansion.

Alvina, Terra, Clank and Bobble were sent out by her to mix the sleeping potion in the water of the guards who were on patrol. Since the pixies were under invisibility spell, the guards didn't suspect anything.

But the problem was that she could not use the same method on the disciples of Guixian Land, since all of them were from the Medical Sect. It won't take them too long to find out.

When she arrived at the protection barrier two days ago, she had learned the secrets of Thundering Peaks by retrieving the information from the earth.

It's when she realized that the protection barrier was actually for the protection of the disciples of Guixian Land who were camping there and not for the 'White Pearl Lotus'.

The information that she gathered gave her a clear understanding of the situation.

The location of the 'White Pearl Lotus' was actually unknown. For last 300 years the 'White Pearl Lotus' kept appearing in the Thundering Peaks.

Ten minutes before the midnight a very old and thick maple tree would appear on the highest peak of the Thundering Peaks. In the thick trunk of that maple tree was a portal which leads directly to another world where the 'White Pearl Lotus' would appear.

As to what that world looked like and what problems she would encounter there, she had no idea.

All that was left now was to take care of the disciples from Guixian Land and Li Ming had a perfect idea how.

An hour before midnight Li Ming jumped down from the branch swiftly and moved towards a large rock a few feet away that she had spotted a few minutes ago.

She sat down on the rock in lotus position and closed her eyes. Her hands were folded in her lap, her palm facing upwards.

Just in a few seconds, her entire body was surrounded by a very bright purple light. Small particles of purple dust formed a circle around her.

If anyone could see her they would be in awe with the mesmerizing beauty of the scene but unfortunately no one could see her due to the invisibility spell. The disciples of Guixian Land kept passing from the front of her, unknown to anything.

The pixies had already informed her about the location of different patrolling groups of Guixian Land disciples.

One by one Li Ming started to form illusion arrays for those groups. She couldn't poison them directly but making them sleep after getting stuck in her illusions was not too big of a deal for her.

She couldn't leave them conscious because then it would not take them too long to understand that someone was after the 'White Pearl Lotus' and of course they would send signals for help. Though it's not possible to send a signal after getting stuck in the arrays as they completed separate you from the outer world but she didn't want to take any risk.

There were total of seven groups who were patrolling the highest peak of the Thundering Mountains. Within just half an hour Li Ming already completed the most powerful arrays that she could design. The arrays were carrying sleeping spell inside them. As long as a person was trapped in the array he would fall asleep within two seconds.

Just in five minutes all the seven groups of Guixian Land disciples fell asleep under the sleeping spells.

Li Ming send the pixies to confirm that no more disciples were left and as she had predicted the pixies confirmed that her coast was clear.

There were still ten minutes left before the appearance of the Magical Maple Tree.

But before Li Ming could decide what to do next, a large power ball hit the rock on which she was sitting.....
