Seeing the signal arrow shot out, the women breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of signal arrow would immediately emit a piercing warning sound, and then the others in the sect would rush to their aid. No matter who was invading, they would have no choice but to retreat first in this situation, and they would naturally be out of danger.
However, their smiles quickly froze. Why didn't they hear the whistling arrow they had imagined?
They instinctively looked back, only to find that the air around them seemed to be distorted. The ball of fire shot out by the whistling arrow did not rush out, but stopped just a foot away from the barrel.
Even at this distance, a mournful sound should still be heard.
They could see with their naked eyes that there seemed to be ripples around the ball of fire, which should be the warning sound waves.
But the sound waves seemed to be held in place by an invisible hand, unable to spread out.
What incredible skill!
Those who could serve as guards in such a place were no ordinary disciples, and they immediately realized that they had encountered an enemy that was completely irresistible.
They instinctively wanted to run, but soon they saw a man's face. He had an ordinary face that they would never have given a second glance if they met him on the street, but at this moment they were terrified.
And then... that was it.
The girls' bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Zuan caused all the signal arrows, along with the sound waves they emitted, to collapse into a single black dot and then vanish into nothingness.
Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. He looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing by the window on the second floor, watching him warily.
Zuan was overjoyed and leaped to the second floor: "Red Tears."
To everyone's surprise, Qiu Honglei cautiously took a step back, the short knife slipping silently from her sleeve into her palm: "You're not Fang Biao, so who are you?"
She naturally knew Fang Biao of the Yin-Yang Dao, but he couldn't possibly have such cultivation.
Zuan then realized that he hadn't canceled his disguise, so he quickly reverted to his original appearance and his voice returned to normal: "Red Tears, it's me."
"Is it really you?" Qiu Honglei was still somewhat wary. After all, many people in the Demonic Sect had unique skills, and others could naturally disguise themselves as Azu. Of course, the person in front of her seemed to have no flaws at all.
Zuan was speechless. He flashed behind her and hugged her, giving her a quick pinch: "Are you sure now?"
Sensing that familiar presence and some of the little secrets between them, Qiu Honglei's tense body finally relaxed, and she hugged him with a mixture of surprise and joy: "Azu, am I dreaming?"
They were so strong, as if they were afraid he would suddenly run away.
Zuan stroked her hair with a hint of pity: "Red Tears, I'm late, I've made you worry..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Honglei, overwhelmed with emotion, stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
All the longing and yearning of lovers reunited after a long separation is contained in this kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted. Qiu Honglei's face was flushed. She bit her lip and said reproachfully, "Your kissing skills have improved a lot. I wonder which girl you practiced on."
Zuan: "..."
The goddess kiss between Chu Yan and Man Man had boosted his skill level, though he certainly wouldn't dare say that.
"How did you end up here?" Fortunately, Qiu Honglei wasn't really angry and quickly shifted her attention.
“I haven’t been able to contact you guys for a while, and I was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check on you,” Zuan explained.
The two sat on the edge of the bed, Qiu Honglei nestled in his arms like a kitten, and smiled sweetly at his words: "It seems we really are on the same wavelength. Now we are indeed in some trouble. By the way, why did you dress up as Fang Biao? That guy is the most annoying."
Having spent many years teaching, she was clearly very familiar with the character of those in the Yin-Yang School.
“We still don’t know where Qiu Chi is, so we can only try to sneak in…” Zu An recounted the events of the past few days to her.
Qiu Honglei said apologetically, "It's all my fault. I should have told you how to get to the main altar earlier, so as not to cause you so much trouble."
Zu An smiled slightly: "You can't blame yourself for this. I've also learned these past few days that when the disciples of your sect joined, they all swore a blood oath not to reveal the secrets of the main altar to others, otherwise they would surely be destroyed and suffer the torture of ten thousand insects devouring their hearts."
This is why the location of Qiuchi has remained unknown for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Qiu Honglei said with a smile, "I can't tell outsiders, but you're not an outsider. I was originally thinking of telling you after we've... cough cough."
Seeing her blushing and charming appearance, Zu'an couldn't help but hug and kiss her again.
...
Fortunately, she remembered her business after a while and reluctantly left Red Lips: "Red Tears, what happened to you? It seems like the guards outside were holding you under house arrest."
Hearing him mention this, Qiu Honglei regained some clarity: "Actually, I'm still in a daze. About half a month ago, after I came out of seclusion, I found that everything was a bit wrong. I couldn't see my master anymore."
“At first I thought she was going into seclusion and didn’t take it too seriously. But later I found that many people were secretly watching me. I originally planned to contact some of my master’s confidants, but I found that all the elders, hall masters and so on who were loyal to my master had been sent away to places far away from the main altar for various reasons. That’s when I realized that something big had happened.”
"So, ignoring the guards' explanations, we barged into Master's secluded retreat, only to find that she wasn't there."
