One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

"Stop right there!" x2!

Zhang Lingyu's feet were rooted to the spot on the threshold.

He dared not disobey his senior brother Zhou's orders.

But that female voice—

And that faint, almost imperceptible fragrance, yet it pierces your bones like a needle...

Zhang Lingyu's hair stood on end!

The Yin Five Thunder within his body twitched uncontrollably, as if something had plucked a string from afar.

He turned around abruptly!

The woman was pinned to the table, her clothes disheveled, her alluring eyes fixed intently on him!

The facial features don't match at all.

But that scent that seeps from the very core, that irresistible sense of danger—

Zhang Lingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and he forced out two words through clenched teeth:

"Xia He!"

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two.

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly said 'unexpectedly':

"Yo!"

"Lingyu, do you know her?"

As he spoke, he loosened his grip on Xia He's hand.

'Chance!'

Xia He slipped off the table like an eel, flipped onto the ground, and her floral skirt billowed in the wind.

With a quick step, he shot out the door like an arrow!

"Lingyu, stop her!"

"snort!"

Xia He stared at Zhang Lingyu, who was standing at the door, with her beautiful eyes wide open.

If you've got the guts... then try stopping me!

"Xia He... do you think the Heavenly Master's Mansion is some kind of place where you can come and go as you please?"

Zhang Lingyu's forehead veins throbbed, and his fingernails almost dug into his flesh!

I will not allow her to commit evil deeds on Longhu Mountain...

Absolutely not!

With a wave of his hand, he unusually refrained from using golden light.

Instead, he directly activated the Thunder Magic!

Streaks of pitch-black, mud-like lightning spread out from beneath his feet, and his right palm aimed straight for Xia He's delicate neck!

【Yin Five Thunders - Northern Cangtan!】

buzz-

Thunder rumbled softly, and inside the humble room, the paper and curtains moved erratically despite the lack of wind!

Xia He gave a disdainful sneer.

The two were about to collide, but she didn't dodge—

He even proactively moved his neck forward a little!

Zhang Lingyu understood the meaning in those eyes.

Come on, Zhang Lingyu...

Come, kill me!

You think I wouldn't dare!

Zhang Lingyu was furious!

The next moment, his true qi surged wildly within him, and yin lightning poured in!

"puff--!"

The mud dispersed.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his entire arm trembled violently.

The hand that had already reached Xia He's neck was more like a "pinch"...

Rather, it was more like he touched that tender pink neck.

Xia He lightly patted his chest.

Zhang Lingyu staggered backward.

Before stepping across the threshold, Xia He turned back.

He slowly licked the palm that had just patted his chest.

Clang!

Zhang Lingyu plopped down on the ground.

Zhou Yan belatedly stepped forward and "panickedly" grabbed his shoulder:

"Lingyu! Are you alright?!"

With this delay, Xia He had already disappeared into the night.

Zhang Lingyu clutched her chest, her voice weak:

"I...Brother Zhou...I...she..."

"What's wrong, Lingyu! Do you want me to chase after you and get your WeChat for you?!"

"!!!"

Zhang Lingyu's body trembled, and she tried to stand up, supporting herself on the ground:

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou... It's my fault for not being skilled enough and letting the thief escape..."

Seeing that he had regained his footing, Zhou Yan suppressed a laugh and put his loose security guard uniform back on and buttoned it up.

"Master Lingyu".

"Um?"

"I see."

Zhou Yan pointed towards the door:

"Was it this boning knife that took your first blood?"

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Zhang Lingyu's mouth dropped open.

His entire face burned from his ears down to his hair roots.

The white-haired boy's toes dug into the ground, wishing he could bury himself in the dirt!

"Senior Brother Zhou... I...!"

He...he figured it out!

Oh no...

In desperation, he even called out "senior brother"...

"Alright."

Zhou Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't bother explaining, the more you explain, the worse it gets."

Zhang Lingyu felt like she was suffocating.

If he were just an ordinary extraordinary person who had a tragic past with the bone-scraping knife, that would be one thing.

But he happens to be a direct disciple of the contemporary Celestial Master!

He was being groomed by his master to be the next Celestial Master...

Not only did he fail to uphold his principles, but he also lost his vital essence.

The object of his affections is a wicked woman from the Quanxing sect who sneaks into Longhu Mountain at night with malicious intentions!

This incident was the greatest humiliation in his heart.

That thorn, which started that night, has been stuck there ever since.

Being caught red-handed by Zhou Yan tonight is worse than being stripped naked in front of thousands of people!

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging shame and internal injuries.

"Brother Zhou, what's the next step?"

Xia He wasn't her true form just now; I suspect she'll change her appearance again soon…”

"It's okay."

Zhou Yan turned and walked towards the door.

"Come with me."

He placed one hand on Zhang Lingyu's shoulder and the other hand in front of his lips:

"Quietly, don't make a sound."

[Absolute movement!]

Zhang Lingyu's vision blurred.

The wooden floor beneath my feet turned into dry tree branches, and someone pressed down on my shoulder—

He naturally squatted down.

Quack quack—quack—

The branches and buds on all sides were so dense that there was no air left, and the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs could be heard incessantly.

They were already crouching on the top of a giant tree deep in the mountains.

Below are two men and one woman.

The swaying shadows of the trees overhead completely obscured the two of them.

Zhou Yan made a hand seal with his left hand.

【The character "巽" (Xun) – Listening to the wind's whisper!】

Two faint breezes quietly reached their ears—

"It failed."

Xia He was panting heavily, glancing back every now and then.

"The security guard recognized me."

That brat was completely immune to my charm; his strength was ridiculously high... I almost got caught on the spot.

A chubby figure next to him grunted in agreement.

"Didn't leave any loose ends?"

"No." Xia He shook her head. "I injured someone in the chaos. The security guards were busy rescuing people and didn't have time to chase after me."

Zhou Yan sneered.

You haven't mentioned a single word about Zhang Lingyu.

"Don't provoke him for now."

A third voice rang out—

He was a short man wearing a black hood and a green windbreaker.

"Our opportunity to act will only come when the Celestial Master bestows his teachings."

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped Xia He's face.

In the blink of an eye—the alluring woman vanished.

Instead, a dark-skinned middle-aged man took his place.

"At that time, the four madmen will make a move at the same time and work together to control this security guard."

The fat man's tone was cold:

"That's right, if used properly, it can be a good knife."

Zhang Lingyu's pupils contracted sharply.

With a wave of his hand, he transforms... The Demon of the Quanxing Sect, the Poison of the Domain Painting!

How many Quanxing members have infiltrated Longhu Mountain right now?

He was about to leap down from the treetop and subdue the three men!

But Zhou Yan held his shoulder down firmly.

The short, stout man added as a final remark: "With the operation imminent, let's not create any unnecessary complications."

"Um……"

Xia He nodded reluctantly.

The three figures dispersed in three different directions.

The forest returned to deathly silence.

After a while.

It was confirmed that all three had gone far away.

"Brother Zhou! What do we do now?!"

Zhang Lingyu lowered her voice, her tone anxious.

Zhou Yan climbed down from the tree and stretched.

"After get off work, of course I go home to sleep."

Zhang Lingyu looked incredulous: "But—"

Zhou Yan yawned and glanced at him sideways:

"Of course, if you want to go sleep with Xia He, I'll pretend I didn't see anything... she's right here—"

"Brother Zhou!!!"

Zhang Lingyu's face turned a deep liver color, and she was about to crack her voice!

wrong--

Brother Zhou...he knows Xia He's location?!

Zhou Yan had already started walking up the mountain path on his own.

A sentence drifted back on the night breeze:

"I've memorized the faces of all three of these grandsons."

"Tomorrow, I will check each ticket and mark them secretly."

"Then follow the clues and catch them one by one—"

"Find them all!"

He waved his hand without turning his head:

"Don't alert the enemy, Master Lingyu."

Even after Zhou Yan's figure disappeared, Zhang Lingyu remained frozen in place.

Original origin...

It wasn't out of carelessness on Zhou Ge's part that Xia He escaped.

He did it on purpose!

Ticket check...

Everyone was laughing, laughing at the security guard for being so old-fashioned, only knowing how to check tickets!

Little did they know...

What I have in my hand isn't some tourist attraction ticket...

It's a death warrant!

The night breeze lifted the boy's white clothes.

Zhang Lingyu recalled his master's teachings from a few days ago.

"You're just not pure enough, not as pure as Xiao Zhou..."

Zhang Lingyu gave a bitter smile...

Yes.

Compared to Senior Brother Zhou.

I... am utterly useless...
