Everyone was stunned. The officers and soldiers of the Prefect's Office knew how strong Lord Liao was, because his mighty sword energy was extremely powerful, and many bandits were no match for him. The encounter of those men in black just now proved all of this.
But what's going on now? Why was the city lord's powerful sword strike caught between just two fingers?
Could the other party be a grandmaster?
Even though the other party was masked, it was obvious that he was a young man. How could there be such a young grandmaster?
Captain Yang Sheng was also terrified. He was Liao Ling's colleague and knew his cultivation level best. He himself had to retreat when faced with Liao Ling's unleashed sword strike. How could someone have blocked it so easily?
Moreover, he noticed that Liao Ling's face was flushed red, clearly indicating that he had used every ounce of strength he had, yet the sword still could not advance an inch.
When did the Demonic Cult produce such a powerful young man?
The seventh-ranked gold medalist's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He had roughly sensed the other party's cultivation level before, which was around the sixth rank. He had always thought that the other party was the kind who used his brain and was worried about his safety. But it turned out that he was so fierce.
The key point is that he believes he couldn't withstand Liao Ling's sword strike either. Could it be that the other party's cultivation is higher than his? That's impossible!
Only Qiu Hong gazed tenderly at the man in front of her with teary eyes. At this moment, she could see no one else but that familiar back.
Even though the other person was masked, she recognized him at first glance because of his familiar aura and feeling.
She didn't really care about the other person's cultivation level; regardless of whether their cultivation was high or low, they were still the person she loved.
What touched her most was that every time she was in danger, the other person would risk their own life to save her, whether in the palace or this time.
Her alluring peach blossom eyes had become as gentle as water, and I felt my heart almost melt.
Zuan finally moved. He flicked his index finger, and the opponent's sword emitted a mournful cry and trembled violently.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed Qiu Honglei's soft waist and quickly leaped to a distance, disappearing into the mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.
Liao Ling held his sword in front of him, feeling utterly lost. He realized that his opponent had held back, otherwise that flick would have shattered his sword on the spot.
This is what he can't understand the most: why would the demonic sect let him go? He cultivates the Righteous Sword, and all his life's work is focused on the sword. Although a broken sword won't kill him, it will severely damage his foundation, and it will be difficult to recover for decades.
On the other side, Qiu Honglei nestled in Zu An's arms, reached out and removed his veil, looked up at the man beside her, and said in a soft and charming voice, "Brother Zu, you are amazing!"
Zuan almost fell from the sky. As expected of the demoness of the demonic sect, she could stir up a man's emotions with just a few simple words.
"How about a kiss as a reward?" Zuan joked.
"Okay!" To everyone's surprise, Qiu Honglei agreed immediately. Then, a pair of soft, warm lips touched hers, but it was like a dragonfly skimming the water, and they quickly left.
When she saw Zu'an trying to kiss her back, she giggled and dodged.
Zuan was very frustrated: "How come we've become estranged after not seeing each other for a while?"
Qiu Honglei chuckled and said, "You know that the 'Heavenly Demon's Enchanting Sound' I cultivate is special and requires me to remain chaste."
Zuan: "..."
"A kiss won't break my virginity."
“If you’re really that powerful, you’ll be invincible,” Qiu Honglei laughed, her body shaking with laughter. “Oh, actually, my master had a heart-to-heart talk with me later. She said that for men, what they can’t get is always more alluring, but once they get it, they won’t cherish it. I think she’s right.”
"Sister Yun has wronged me!" Zu An was a little itchy-toothed and really wanted to hold Yun Jianyue down and spank her, but considering the difference in strength between the two sides, he could only think about it.
"Pah!" Qiu Honglei spat. "You call me Master Sister, do you expect me to call you Uncle?"
You can call me Dad, that's fine too.
"You bad guy~"
Qiu Honglei's eyes were brimming with tears. As a woman of the Demonic Sect, how could she not understand the meaning behind these words?
After flirting for a while, the two arrived at a secluded and safe place. Zu An put her down and asked curiously, "Hong Lei, why were you captured by the Prince of Yan?"
This was what he couldn't understand the most. Qiu Honglei was always very clever and her cultivation was not weak. She could handle most tasks with ease. If it was something beyond her ability, Yun Jianyue would never let her take such a risk.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Qiu Honglei's face, but she still answered, "In recent years, Yunzhong County has been claiming that the Yuan Stones transported to various places have been robbed by our Holy Sect. Although we have indeed robbed some at times, it is obviously not as much as they claim. So we came here specifically to investigate which force is impersonating us to do this."
"Yi County is a transportation hub in the north. Yuan Stones sent from Yunzhong County to the south all pass through here. So I came here to investigate, but I soon fell into an ambush. Even the Prince of Yan personally took action. We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Even I couldn't escape."
"Could it be that the Prince of Yan's mansion robbed the Yuan Stones of Yunzhong County and then framed you?" Zu An said with a frown. If that were the case, it would be a huge case. Once it was reported, many people would lose their heads.
To everyone's surprise, Qiu Honglei shook her head: "Although I also really think it was him, according to my previous investigation, it seems that the Yuan Stones transported from Yunzhong County had problems before entering Yi County. Moreover, according to our inside intelligence, it seems that someone had notified the Prince of Yan in advance, which is why the Prince of Yan was able to ambush us so conveniently. Obviously, someone behind the scenes wanted to use the Prince of Yan to get rid of us."
