Qin Gengyun said in a deep voice: "I have already reported this matter to Senior Sister Wei. I was just suspicious at first, but now my guess has been confirmed."

Wei Wan looked at him and motioned for him to continue. Qin Gengyun continued:

"This cunning creature took advantage of the chaos to kill Senior Brother Feng and the other two. Perhaps it was a test to see how strong we are and how difficult it would be to assassinate them."

"In fact, his real target is not the outer disciples, but the core deacon disciples in our team!"

"After killing Senior Brother Feng and the other two, this cunning creature has gained an understanding of our strength and has become more familiar with its own assassination methods."

"So it attacked again tonight, and its target was Senior Brother Chen Yuanqi. Senior Brother Lin happened to live in the same room with Senior Brother Chen, so he was also brutally killed."

"Moreover, we can also see the cunning of the monster beasts from the process of Yunling Town being breached. They first sent out two fifth-grade monster beasts to let the town guards relax their vigilance, and then the sixth-grade monster suddenly launched a fierce attack today."

"Plus, this assassination method is something I have never seen in previous records of the beast tide."

"The demon beast...seems to have evolved."

Qin Gengyun's analysis made everyone even more horrified. Xu Caihe said in a trembling voice:

"Brother He, what you mean is... not only in Yunling Town, but also important figures in other places will be assassinated by monsters?"

Xu Caihe's father is the lord of Zhenlian City. At this moment Zhenlian City is also being attacked by a tide of beasts. Naturally, she is worried about her father's safety.

Zhou Linger's pretty face also turned pale. Her father was the patriarch of the largest family in Zhenlian City, and he might also face the assassination of a high-level monster.

The others also looked at each other in bewilderment. Beast tides were recorded in many classics. Even if some people had not experienced it, they had seen it in books.

It was indeed as Qin Gengyun said, in the past few hundred years, the beast tides were all high-level monsters leading many low-level monsters to attack human towns head-on, and they had never seen such a cunning monster as the one today.

Wei Wan frowned and spoke slowly:

"I will report this to Senior Sister immediately. The sect should send support. Junior Brother He's guess makes sense, but it could also be a coincidence. I will guard the backyard tonight. Don't panic, be alert, and wait until dawn."

Her voice was soft and had an invisible soothing power.

Everyone finally calmed down a bit and responded one after another. After collecting the bodies of Chen Yuanqi and the other man, they returned to their own rooms.

Wei Wanze sat alone on the rockery between the east and west sides.

Her figure was gentle and soft, emitting a faint glow in the night, like a soft light shining in the darkness.

Seeing that she was truly protecting everyone, the Zhenyang Sect disciples finally calmed down, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

"Senior Sister Wei is so gentle and makes me feel safe!"

"Senior Sister Wei is the person I admire the most!"

"I also want to practice hard, and I will protect Senior Sister Wei in the future!"

"Wei Wan is a true fairy of the time." In the room where Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan lived, Mo Xiaolan looked at the figure on the rockery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Qin Gengyun looked at Wei Wan who was sitting quietly, as if thinking about something.

Mo Xiaolan turned around and asked, "What was the result of your investigation on Junior Sister Ruo?"

Qin Gengyun told her what happened, and Mo Xiaolan opened her eyes wide in surprise:

"You actually ran into Junior Sister Ruo taking a bath, and you, you even went in?"

Qin Gengyun was a little embarrassed. "I don't mean anything else. I just think Ruomei looks too much like a lady, so I want to get closer to smell her to see if she has the body scent of a lady."

“…”

Mo Xiaolan was silent for a moment, as if she thought of the situation at that time, her cheeks slightly red:

"If Junior Sister Ruo wasn't Fellow Daoist Qiu, would you really want to marry her?"

Qin Gengyun waved his hands quickly: "Of course not! I was just testing her."

"But what if my junior sister takes it seriously? What will you do?" Mo Xiaolan asked again.

"This..." Qin Gengyun was stunned.

Noila Mo sighed: “When you have deep feelings for one person, it’s inevitable that you will hurt others. I don’t blame you.”

"Xiaolan..."

Qin Gengyun wanted to speak, but Mo Xiaolan had already sat cross-legged on the ground:

"I have to practice tonight, you can go to sleep."

Qin Gengyun shook his head: "I don't know if that cunning guy will come again, I will protect you."

After saying that, he sat down next to Mo Xiaolan. Mo Xiaolan turned her head to look at him, her eyes blurred for a moment, then regained clarity:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Qin."

Qin Gengyun laughed: "Why do we have to be so formal with each other?"

Noila Mo also laughed: "That's right."

West side of the backyard.

Ruomei stood in front of the window, her eyes seemed to see through the rockery, and saw the scene in Qin Gengyun's room.

The female disciple who lived with her said with emotion: "No wonder everyone says that Senior Sister Wei is so gentle and unparalleled. We are so lucky to be able to follow Senior Sister Wei out."

Ruomei looked out the window and said nothing.

The female disciple was probably a little scared, and she spoke again: "Actually, I think we should all live together, so that I can rest assured that Senior Brother He will protect me."

Ruomei turned her head and looked at her: "Why do you need Brother He to protect you?"

The female disciple's eyes sparkled: "Senior Brother He is so tough and strong, I feel safe when he protects me!"

Ruomei's eyes were cold, "He has to protect others tonight and has no time to care about us."

"Ah?" The female disciple was puzzled: "How do you know who he wants to protect?"

Ruomei looked at the rockery and said coldly: "Protect his confidant."

…

The terrifying night finally passed, the sun rose and dispelled the darkness.

During the day, it would not be so easy for the cunning creature to carry out the assassination.

The disciples did not sleep all night, but since they were all practitioners, it didn't have much impact and everyone walked out of the room.

Wei Wan slowly stood up from the rockery, and her figure flashed and appeared in front of everyone.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Wei!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister."

Everyone bowed to her, expressing their admiration and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

But there was still a gloom on everyone's face. It was only the first day. It was impossible for Wei Wan to protect so many people alone every night, right?

Wei Wan gently said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. I sent a message to the eldest sister last night. I believe the sect will send people to support us soon."

The disciples all breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Gengyun stared at Ruomei intently and saw that she, like the female disciple next to her, was patting her chest gently with a worried look on her face.

Seeing him looking at her, Ruomei's cheeks turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt very aggrieved.

Qin Gengyun couldn't see any flaws, so he had to look away.

Fang Xue stepped forward and said to Wei Wan, "Senior Sister Wei, I want to send my parents and children away from Qinhe Garden and go to Qingluo Lane."

If that cunning creature really targeted them, it would be very dangerous for Fang Xue's parents and children to stay in Qin He Garden.

Wei Wan nodded: "I'll take you there."

Qin Gengyun said, "Sister Wei, you've been on guard all night, why don't you take a rest? I'll take Fellow Daoist Fang and the others away."

Wei Wan looked at him and nodded: "Okay."
