Yun Jianyue's expression was somewhat unnatural: "I only used it a few more times. At that time, I was first ambushed and then surrounded by several people. In that situation, if I hadn't fought desperately, I would probably have been killed on the spot by those people."

Zuan knew she was telling the truth; if he were in her shoes, he would most likely have made the same choice.

Hearing her panting and weak appearance as she spoke, a far cry from her usual imposing demeanor as the leader of the Demonic Sect, he felt a pang of pity and hugged her tightly: "I should have come sooner."

Yun Jianyue wanted to respond to him, but suddenly found that she had no strength to speak, and could only smile faintly.

Her beautiful face had lost its usual dignified and domineering air, and gained a touch of gentleness.

Zu An's expression changed drastically, because he sensed that the other party's aura had suddenly weakened, obviously his injuries had worsened, and his life was in danger at any moment: "Don't speak yet, I'll take you out first."

To enhance its concealment, this grand formation isolates the outside world, so the replenishment of spiritual energy from the outside world is naturally not as effective.

While channeling his vital energy into her body to protect her heart meridian, he carefully picked her up and floated away with a light touch of his toes.

"My lord!" Zhang Zitong hurriedly went to greet him when she saw him come out.

"Keep up."

"good."

Seeing the other person's solemn expression, Zhang Zitong had countless questions in her mind, but she didn't ask them.

Soon, Zuan led the two women back to where the screen wall had been. Perhaps because the formation had been broken, water-like ripples reappeared on the screen wall.

He leaped into it and quickly jumped out of the screen wall again.

"My lord, we're out!" Zhang Zitong said happily. Compared to the swirling blue mist inside the formation, the weather outside was much brighter.

"Go back first, I have things to do." After saying that, Zu An disappeared with Yun Jian Yue in his arms.

Yun Jianyue had already fallen into a deep sleep, and he dared not waste a single moment.

Seeing his disappearing figure, Zhang Zitong's smile froze on her face.

After a long silence, he sighed softly:

"You go back first? Where am I supposed to go back to? Back to the Yin-Yang Path, or leave Qiu Chi directly?"

"He acted as if he was afraid I would ruin his good time."

She muttered to herself, but ultimately decided not to leave Qiu Chi and instead returned to Yin Yang Dao first.

Meanwhile, Zu'an, with Yun Jianyue, flew through the mountains and fields. In the days that he had been searching for someone, he had already thoroughly explored the terrain of the entire Qiuchi area.

He quickly brought Yun Jianyue back to the sect leader's villa. This place was originally guarded by Lu Sanyuan's confidants, but news of what happened on the Yin-Yang Path had already reached them, so these people naturally scattered.

He went straight to the backyard, where there was an open-air spiritual spring with abundant spiritual energy, which only the sect leader was qualified to enjoy, making cultivation twice as effective.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue's injuries were too severe, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth alone was far from enough to replenish her. She needed to rely on these blessed lands and grotto-heavens for help.

He took out an array plate and, in the blink of an eye, set up several spirit-gathering arrays, which could quickly gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and the spiritual spring here into the arrays.

As streaks of spiritual light appeared in the void, Zu'an then jumped into the hot spring with Yun Jianyue in his arms.

He immediately activated the Primordial Chaos Scripture to begin healing her.

If it were someone else, he might have hesitated, but the two of them already had the closest relationship, so naturally there were no reservations.

The gentle warmth of the spiritual spring, combined with the reduction in clothing, gradually roused Yun Jianyue from her reverie. Looking at the open-air environment around her, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "No... not here."

This is Qiuchi after all. If the people of the Demonic Sect see this, where will she put her face?

Zuan was speechless: "Do you think I want this? You could die at any moment, and this is the only way I can save you."

"I don't know where you learned this unorthodox healing method," Yun Jianyue said, her eyes sparkling with a seductive charm despite her weakness. "But it's perfect timing. I've been suffering these past few days trying to control Fang Zhonghe's poison. Now that I've seen you... I don't have to hold back anymore."

He didn't know where the strength came from, but he kissed her directly.

Her usual dignified and domineering demeanor was merely a misunderstanding by the world; only at this moment did she reveal the charm of the first person in the history of the Demonic Sect to have mastered the art of seduction.

No man could resist such allure, but Zu An had to remain clear-headed. At this moment, she was like a porcelain doll covered in cracks, which could shatter at the slightest force. He could only use the gentlest touch to carefully nourish and repair her meridians.

Throughout the process, he couldn't even say whether he enjoyed it or suffered through it.

After an unknown amount of time, a graceful figure suddenly flew over from afar: "Hmm, I seem to sense someone casting the Heavenly Demon's Enchanting Melody..."

After Qiu Honglei finished dealing with the mess in the Yin-Yang Path, she still couldn't find Zu'an and didn't know her master's whereabouts, so she was extremely anxious.

As she was searching everywhere, she suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation. She was overjoyed, for in the entire Holy Sect, only her master possessed such attainments.

I rushed over excitedly, but when I saw the scene in the pool, I was completely stunned.
