Yun Li looked out through the crack in the door. She had no idea how much confidence Hongyan Pavilion had in the lock on this block of dark iron, but they hadn't even left a single guard behind. Yun Li released her Spiritual Power to scan the surroundings; aside from the people locked in the rooms, there wasn't a single soul anywhere near this courtyard.
Yun Li took out the Fenghua Sword from her spatial storage, channeled her Spiritual Power into the blade, and slashed hard along the gap. The dark iron lock was instantly cut in half. Seeing this, Yuzhu hurriedly stood up from the pile of straw. Yun Li opened the door just a crack, checked outside, and then turned back to call Yuzhu over. The two of them slipped quietly out of the courtyard.
Hongyan Pavilion covered a vast area. Fortunately, the courtyard where Yun Li and the others were locked up was relatively close to the front courtyard, and right now, most of the people were gathered up front. Seizing this opportunity, Yun Li took Yuzhu and knocked out two maidservants first, changing into their clothes to make it easier to move around Hongyan Pavilion. Then, she went to locate the back door so they could escape easily later. When Yun Li reached the back door, more than a dozen guards were standing watch there. If they tried to force their way out, a fight would inevitably alert the other guards, so Yun Li led Yuzhu away from the back door.
