Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

"Someone."

Chi Yingluo immediately turned her head to look in the direction where Tong Yan was.

Upon seeing this, Tong Yan was immediately startled. He hadn't expected this woman to have such a keen sense of smell, which meant her internal strength must be extraordinary.

Upon seeing this, the two experts responsible for protecting her immediately took Tong Yan and retreated towards the main camp without saying a word.

Hearing the sounds of light-footed movements in the forest, the woman in black remained unchanged.

He simply said to Chi Yingluo, "The rest is up to you."

Holding the jade pendant, she smiled and nodded.

As the woman in black turned and left with the bone box, an increasingly eerie smile appeared on her face.

It seems they won't let them leave easily.

-

Tong Yan and her two guards were able to evacuate at a considerable speed.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was still a little too late.

Previously, Tong Yan had chosen this high hill not only because of its excellent location, but more importantly because it was closer to the Southern Kingdom's camp.

If needed, support can be called in very quickly.

However, unexpectedly, on their way down the mountain to escape, they discovered that there were a large number of demonic thieves who had infiltrated the area.

Clearly, Yingluo came prepared for this trip, managing to eliminate the guards near the hill without anyone noticing.

As the three of them came down the mountain, they saw that both the visible and hidden sentry posts were lying on the ground.

Clearly, these members of the Demonic Sect are secretly preparing for some kind of operation.

Tong Yan's trip was also a coincidence that he stumbled upon it.

But at this moment, Tong Yan didn't have many things on her mind.

The further you go, the more you realize you're surrounded.

Two skilled fighters protected her, and even with the combined efforts of the three, they were unable to break through the encirclement.

And the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the three had nowhere to escape, the two guards had no choice but to grit their teeth.

Then he said to Tong Yan, "Alliance Leader! The situation is critical. We two have no choice but to risk our lives and fight that treacherous demonic sect to the death to open a path for Alliance Leader Tong!"

Tong Yan was startled upon hearing this and said, "You two, why have you come to this!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Another person gritted his teeth and said, "Our Alliance Leader is of inestimable strength, and this attack on Yindu still relies on your command. We are willing to die if it helps our Alliance Leader escape this predicament!"

Having said that, the two charged forward fearlessly, risking their lives to fight their way through the demonic sect disciples.

However, just as Tong Yan was about to escape his predicament...

Then, a melodious flute tune came from not far away.

The flute music was extremely eerie, drifting and ethereal, making listeners feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Especially those with profound internal strength, stimulated by the flute music, immediately experience a surge of qi and blood, showing signs of qi deviation and demonic possession.

The sound of the flute was so powerful that even someone as skilled as the Ghost Dancer was caught off guard and suffered a great loss.

Not to mention Tong Yan and others who are even weaker than Gui Wu Ji.

At this moment, not only Tong Yan and his two companions, but also the surrounding members of the Demonic Sect looked troubled, their inner energy churning.

I couldn't help but feel hallucinations.

At that moment, Tong Yan saw that the world before him suddenly turned blood red.

The corpse not far away on the ground suddenly seemed incredibly familiar.

Upon closer inspection, she was astonished to discover that the face of the deceased was none other than her beloved daughter, Liuli!

"daughter!"

Tong Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart, and seeing the corpses strewn all over the place, he felt as if he had come to a familiar place.

It turned out to be inside the Sword Harmony Sect's mountain gate.

Before their eyes, all the members of the sect lay dead in pools of blood, their entire sect wiped out!

Tong Yan felt a surge of energy and blood, and his mind was shaken.

Upon seeing this scene, she could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

However, this provoked her to the point that her internal energy became uncontrollable, and in the blink of an eye, she showed signs of going into qi deviation.

But just as Tong Yan was struggling to control her internal energy, she suddenly felt a cool sensation coming from behind her.

This aura seemed extremely familiar with the meridians in her body, and quickly calmed the surging internal energy within her.

Tong Yan turned her head and saw that the person in front of her was the familiar face she had been longing for.

"Disciple..."

Tong Yan murmured something and couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of the person in front of her.

But as the youthful aura settled in, his mind gradually cleared.

She became increasingly aware that everything before her eyes was just an illusion because of the strange, demonic sound she had just heard.

Liuli is not dead, and the Sword Harmony Sect is also safe.

So, this Crimson Emperor before me is also a hallucination I've created.

But even if it's a hallucination, it doesn't matter.

Tong Yan sighed deeply, unable to resist immersing herself in Chi Junlin's embrace.

She understood that Red King was now her pillar of support.

With her around, I can get rid of my confusion and break free from my constraints.

At this moment, Chi Junlin looked at the somewhat delirious Tong Yan in his arms and couldn't help but frown.

Then he turned to look at the woods where the necklace was hidden.

She had just come from not far away and had already heard the sound of a flute being played here.

Moreover, the flute music was eerie; upon hearing even the slightest note, one felt their inner energy boiling and becoming uncontrollable.

Chi Junlin had just been reminded by the Twin Demons that the sound of the flute played by the jade pendant was strange.

Fortunately, as long as she blocked her ears and closed her acupoints, the flute music wouldn't affect her at all.

That's why Yingluo said earlier that this move can only catch people off guard.

If someone like Chi Junlin prepares early enough, then the flute music will be useless.

Seeing that Chi Junlin had already protected Tong Yan, Chi Yingluo stopped pursuing him and silently retreated.

Chi Junlin was worried about Tong Yan's safety and did not pursue him at this time.

This is her second encounter with Chi Yingluo.

Chi Junlin inexplicably felt that this seemingly insignificant elder of the Joyful Sect, who ranked ninth on the Hundred Ghosts List, was much more troublesome than he had imagined.

This woman's abilities are probably several levels higher than they appear on the surface.

Chapter 379 Absence Makes the Heart Blossom

His own appearance had temporarily forced Chi Yingluo to retreat, and Chi Junlin's expression calmed down slightly.

Then, the surrounding disciples of the demonic sects could no longer withstand the demonic sound and fainted one by one.

Clearly, the demonic flute music, once it was played, did not distinguish between friend and foe, and was a terrifying thing that killed indiscriminately.

The two martial arts masters who were protecting Tong Yan were already half-mad, showing signs of going mad.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin raised his hand and unleashed two sword energies, striking the two men's acupoints, causing them to immediately collapse and lose consciousness.

In the past few days, Chi Junlin has met many people affected by the demonic sound and knows that this method of handling them is the most efficient.

The two of them will naturally wake up in a while.

Then Chi Junlin looked down at the child in his arms.

After channeling his internal energy, Tong Yan's condition had improved considerably.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at Chi Junlin in a daze.

"Master, have you regained consciousness?"

Chi Junlin smiled and asked the child-faced man softly.

Tong Yan didn't react for a moment, seemingly wondering if she was still dreaming.

So he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently stroke Chi Junlin's cheek.

"Why am I still not awake? My disciple, aren't you..."

Seeing her like this, Chi Junlin suddenly revealed a wicked smile, grabbed her wrist, and whispered in her ear, "What disciple? You should clearly call me husband."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's frivolous tone, Tong Yan immediately sobered up.

She felt both ashamed and delighted, only then realizing that the Chi Junlin before her was not a hallucination.

She really came to save me!

Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly thankful that he had encountered Chi Junlin and escaped danger.

Then he turned to look at the two Southern Kingdom experts who had just protected him.

Knowing what Tong Yan was thinking, Chi Junlin explained, "They were also affected by the demonic sound just now, and they suffered a slight qi deviation. However, I have used my sword energy to stabilize their major acupoints, and they can be treated after we return."

Tong Yan nodded, then looked up at Chi Junlin and saw the burning gaze in his obedient disciple's eyes.

She blushed slightly and lowered her head, saying, "Didn't we say you were already in the Underworld, serving as the Grand Protector of the Holy Maiden Pavilion? How come you suddenly appear here again?"

Chi Junlin reached out and pinched Tong Yan's delicate cheek, and said with a smile, "Naturally, I came to save my Yan'er."

Tong Yan became increasingly embarrassed. Fortunately, no one around saw this scene, otherwise Tong Yan, the leader of the martial arts alliance, would have completely lost face.

Chi Junlin admired his beloved teacher's girlish demeanor for a while before letting her go. Then he said seriously, "This time, I am going out of the city with the three sects of the Demonic Sect because I have other matters to attend to."

I promised someone I would kill someone.

I was just about to call you over to discuss something else, and it was only by chance that I was able to rescue you.

Master, please be more careful next time. As the saying goes, a wise man avoids dangerous situations. If you need to travel in the future, please be sure to bring more people with you.

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan nodded solemnly and said, "I have remembered..."

After saying that, she felt a little strange.

I always felt that my master-disciple relationship with Chi Junlin was always reversed.

However, Tong Yan quickly calmed down and then asked, "Then why did you come to see your master, my disciple?"

Chi Junlin then adopted a serious expression, and after a moment of contemplation, replied to her, "During my few days in Yindu, I have roughly sorted out the internal relationships of the Demonic Sect."

Through my mediation, I have found some allies in the underworld who are worth forming alliances with.

The Xuan Yin Sect also has the Saintess Pavilion, which can currently be used as an aid in entering the city. As for the Corpse-Driving Sect, we are still in contact…

In short, the Demonic Sect is not a monolithic entity at present.

If we plan ahead, the siege might turn out to be easier than expected.

Tong Yan nodded slightly, somewhat agreeing with what Chi Junlin said.

To be honest, she had some reservations about Chi Junlin going to Yindu alone back then.

But now that we have seen Chi Junlin successfully rescue a group of children and righteous people from the Demonic Sect, and has also turned some of the Demonic Sect's internal forces against him.

In any case, this trip and action are justifiable.

After these days of experience, Tong Yan has become more perceptive of changes in the situation.

So he said, "So... my disciple wants to set a date with me to prepare for the siege?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin smiled and said, "It seems that Master has become quite wise since I last saw him."
