Duan Rong’s figure darted swiftly like a phantom, past the rockery and pavilion in the center of the backyard. His gaze was as cold as frost, fearing he might have arrived too late.

Faint screams echoed from the front yard, while government constables wielding crossbows were already infiltrating from the four corners of the surrounding walls, triggering the mechanisms.

In the dark night, several places resounded with the crisp sound of copper bells, one after another.

Duan Rong intentionally didn’t tell them about the numerous mechanisms within this backyard.

The sound of the mechanisms could possibly alert Wei Yutian, making him cease his cultivation in the secret chamber, thereby gaining time to rescue Xiao Yu.

The crisp bell sound in the backyard faintly reached the secret chamber, causing Bai Ai, who was guarding the entrance of the Mandala, to feel startled.

"I’ll go take a look! You guard here!"

Bai Ai infused her inner breath and leaped up the steps swiftly.

Pei Qing watched Bai Ai with a hint of nervousness in her gaze.

The moment Bai Ai darted out of the secret chamber entrance, she could not only hear the ringing bells from all directions, but also faintly hear the screams from the front yard.

Her expression turned cold, somewhat blaming Su Di, who was guarding at the guest room door, for being unresponsive to such drastic changes.

Bai Ai flashed to the guest room door, only to be met by the roaring night wind; where was Su Di’s figure? Only a fallen lantern lay on the ground, emitting a bleak yellow light... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Before Bai Ai could react, a Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Saber silently arrived, exploding a blood hole in her forehead!

Duan Rong arrived at a whistling speed; the two crossed paths at the guest room door, Bai Ai’s exploded flesh and blood even splattered Duan Rong’s shoulder and neck...

As Duan Rong darted into the secret chamber, a plum blossom afterimage bloomed beside him, and a Willow Leaf Saber silently shot out from the afterimage. Pei Qing had not yet achieved Inner Breath Realm First Level, how could she withstand Duan Rong’s Willow Leaf Saber infused with Great Success Realm inner breath?

The Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Saber came silently, exploding her head into bits!

Flesh and blood splattered on the Stone Gate of the Secret Chamber Mandala, while the residual force of the Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Saber bore through the stone gate!

Duan Rong’s divine sense suddenly expanded, revealing smoke and dust rolling within the Secret Chamber Mandala, Xiao Yu lying unconscious on the central platform, and Wei Yutian kneeling fervently before her, eyes blazing with lust.

Beside Duan Rong, plum blossom petals bloomed, each sending out Willow Leaf Sabers from the blooming afterimages, precisely piercing through the stone gate and shooting towards Wei Yutian, whose figure was engulfed in the rolling smoke on the high platform of the Secret Chamber Mandala.

After releasing numerous Flying Sabers, Duan Rong instantly retreated!

Just as Wei Yutian was about to move, a strange sound arose from the stone gate of the secret chamber, followed by several Flying Sabers piercing through the gate with a pfff sound, accurately targeting his chest, abdomen, and face!

Wei Yutian was shocked; his True Qi surged in an instant, propelling him forward, smashing through the door!

Under the attack of his True Qi, the sturdy stone gate crumbled like paper!

Lowering his head, Wei Yutian saw Pei Qing’s headless corpse at the secret chamber entrance, splattered with flesh...

Moreover, lacking the soundproof barrier of the stone gate, he also heard the chaotic sounds outside... Wei Yutian’s face showed hesitation; yet he turned his head towards the high platform surrounded by smoke, where Xiao Yu still lay unconscious... truly a lustful ghost!

Although Duan Rong had retreated to the guest room door, his divine sense continuously swept the area. Seeing Wei Yutian turn back, Duan Rong’s heart immediately tightened, and he released another plum blossom afterimage, accurately sending a Flying Saber diagonally from the guest room doorway into the secret chamber entrance, embedding itself into the ground at the foot of the stone steps with a thud!

Upon hearing this, Wei Yutian furrowed his brows, glancing towards the stone step entrance!

At this moment, Duan Rong suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Wei Yutian, my turtle son, your father is here!"

While shouting, Duan Rong swiftly retreated. Not only was he trying to provoke Wei Yutian, but he was also shouting for Shen Yanliu in the distance.

His divine sense had already detected Shen Yanliu.

Upon hearing this, a muscle on Wei Yutian’s right cheek twitched, and his figure flickered out of the chamber.

As Wei Yutian dashed out the guest room door, he saw Bai Ai, who had been knocked down, her face bearing a horrific blood hole. Wei Yutian gasped, recalling their past kindness, his heart aching involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Duan Rong continued shouting "turtle son" from several meters away...

Wei Yutian looked on angrily; Duan Rong, donned in the attire of an Escort Master from the Yuan Shun Escort Agency, triggered a whirlwind of thoughts in Wei Yutian’s mind.

Yet his figure lunged at Duan Rong; killing his beloved servant and disrupting his cultivation – each was a capital offense!

Just as Wei Yutian moved, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind Duan Rong. The newcomer was clad in official robes and sported a black silk-tufted cap.

It was Shen Yanliu, drawn by Duan Rong’s shout, running over.

Shen Yanluo stormed in, the fibers on his tufted cap vibrating incessantly; his Steel-Covered Iron Claw aimed at Wei Yutian’s face as his figure leapt forward.

"Shen Yanliu?"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Wei Yutian’s expression darkened instantly. His feet touched the ground, and he turned back swiftly, retreating.

When he first saw Duan Rong in the attire of the Yuan Shun Escort Agency, he was contemplating the identity of these attackers. Now, seeing Shen Yanliu, Wei Yutian realized his doom.

If it were anyone else, he might have had a sliver of hope, but against Shen Yanliu, escaping seemed impossible.

Wei Yutian dared not tarry any longer; in an instant, blood strands erupted all over his body!

Without invoking the Filthy Blood Divine Skill, he couldn’t survive three moves against Shen Yanliu; he had no other choice!

Already naked, with only a black cloth around his waist, countless strands burst forth from his sweat pores, akin to famished leeches protruding from the mud... writhing and floating...

Indescribably grotesque and disgusting...

The bursting blood strands grew crazily...

Within the deep night, Wei Yutian suddenly appeared as a monster covered in long red hair!

A multitude of blood strands swiftly merged at his face, colliding with Shen Yanliu’s Iron Claw that simultaneously descended, turning those strands to powder under the surge of True Qi!

Yet, Wei Yutian used this to retreat abruptly, gaining over a meter of distance from Shen Yanliu.

Seeing Wei Yutian’s blood-covered form, Shen Yanliu’s expression subtly gleamed with joy.

"Indeed, a filthy blood demon!"

Wei Yutian stood a meter away, looking decrepit and panting heavily; the sudden explosion of blood strands severely drained him. He cast a glance at Shen Yanliu then fled backwards.

Shen Yanliu sneered. "Thinking of leaving now? Too late!"

Using the chaos ensuing between Shen Yanliu and Wei Yutian, Duan Rong stealthily re-entered the secret chamber.

Duan Rong vaulted forward, his form darting swiftly like a phantom, diving into the smoke-laden Secret Chamber Mandala.

As Duan Rong leaped in, his divine sense abruptly expanded, revealing Xiao Yu still unconscious on the high platform under its coverage.

Duan Rong jumped onto the platform, first checking Xiao Yu’s breathing, finding it stable, then feeling her pulse.

Releasing Xiao Yu’s wrist, relief washed over Duan Rong as Xiao Yu was merely unconscious, suffering no major harm.
