The person who arrived was a middle-aged man.
Luo Qingyu narrowed her eyes. Looking at the middle-aged man standing in the center, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
So this is the City Lord of Yunshui City? He looks quite upright, but who would have thought he's actually colluding with the demons.
Ye Qiao, who was pretending to play along on the side, spoke up at the right moment, “I heard you captured a Personal Disciple of the Bishui Sect.”
Looking at the mercurial Ye Qiao, the City Lord of Yunshui City swallowed nervously. “Yes, Saintess. They seem to have noticed something and have already started to grow wary of us.”
“My recommendation is to capture them all before those Sect Masters and Elders arrive.”
Beside them, Ye Qinghan could barely restrain himself from drawing his sword. He said coldly, “Then your recommendation is indeed wonderful.”
Hearing this familiar voice, the City Lord suddenly turned around. His gaze landed on Ye Qinghan, and he said, “I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.”
The City Lord of Yunshui City racked his brain. Finally realizing who it was, he raised his voice in shock, “You're that Personal Disciple from the Wenjian Sect!”
Ye Qinghan reacted instantly. In a flash, his sword was out of its sheath, the tip pressing directly against the City Lord's neck.
Luo Qingyu slowly clapped her hands with a smile. “I didn't expect you to be quite clever.”
Trembling all over, the City Lord of Yunshui City pointed at the three of them in terror, his voice shaking. “You... You are also people from the Five Sects?”
Ye Qiao let out a cold, enigmatic sneer. “Do you really think the Five Sects knew absolutely nothing about your plans?”
Hearing this, the City Lord of Yunshui City's face turned pale instantly. His heart skipped a beat, and he panicked completely.
It was over. Everything was over. Weren't all of his actions completely laid bare before the eyes of the Five Sects?
Luo Qingyu and Luo Qingyuh stood to the side, quietly watching the show. They watched as Ye Qiao spoke eloquently to the City Lord, her rhetoric progressing step-by-step, forcefully hoodwinking the panicked City Lord into becoming a double agent.
The two of them couldn't help but exchange a silent glance, inwardly shouting that Ye Qiao was absolutely awesome.
Song Hansheng couldn't help but cross his arms. Watching Ye Qiao fool the City Lord of Yunshui City, he felt a shiver run down his spine. These people from the Changming Sect are way too terrifying.
...
After the City Lord of Yunshui City left, Luo Qingyu immediately gave Ye Qiao a big thumbs-up and praised, “Impressive, Junior Sister! You completely hoodwinked that City Lord. He was totally dazed.”
Ye Qiao smiled faintly. “I couldn't help it. Who told him to be so stupid?”
Ye Qinghan chimed in at the right moment, “When do we start taking action?”
Ye Qiao thought about it, and a sudden inspiration struck her. “Let's do it in the middle of the night. Midnight is the perfect time for playing tricks—ah, no... for a surprise attack.”
Beside them, Song Hansheng's eyelids twitched. He grumbled inwardly. Don't think that just because you cut yourself off halfway, I can't see how eager you are to cause trouble.
Luo Qingyuh also seemed quite excited and said loudly, “Great idea! Sister Ye Qiao is so awesome!”
Luo Qingyu stood up and slapped the table hard. “Then it's settled. I'll go inform those demons to prepare.”
Before Ye Qinghan could reach out to stop her, Luo Qingyu turned around and left the cabin.
...
Late at night, the wind was high and the sky was dark.
The Personal Disciples of the other sects were busy running back and forth, setting up arrays and quietly waiting for the demons to arrive.
Ming Xuan couldn't help but yawn and asked in confusion, “Why aren't they here yet?”
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Xingzhi immediately raised his hand and pointed at a flying boat flying in from the distance, saying in a deep voice, “They're here! Everyone, get ready!”
Ming Xuan's fingertips twitched as he quickly channeled his spiritual energy, shouting, “Activate the arrays now!”
Standing on the flying boat, Luo Qingyu looked down at the wide variety of array attacks below, as well as the scene of several Wenjian Sect disciples fighting fiercely against the demons. She reached out and gently poked Ye Qinghan in front of her, whispering, “Ice-Face, look, it's your junior brothers and sisters.”
Ye Qinghan's body stiffened abruptly. He nodded rigidly, only uttering a very soft, “Mm.”
Seeing his dazed expression, Luo Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle.
Luo Qingyuh, who was quietly observing from the side, finally understood. Aside from his sister being exceptionally special toward Ye Qiao, only this cold man in front of them showed a somewhat unusual attitude.
This made a trace of wariness rise in Luo Qingyuh's heart, and he secretly made up his mind: No way, I absolutely cannot let him get close to my sister in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
“I will defend Sister to the death!!”
...
Soon, the situation became completely one-sided. As the demon forces collapsed into disarray, the Personal Disciples held their breath, not daring to completely deplete their spiritual energy. Instead, they focused their attention on Ye Qiao's group of five.
Those were three Nascent Soul realm experts!
The remaining two were fine, being in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, which was relatively manageable.
At this moment, except for Zhou Xingyun, everyone believed that the final bosses were the Demon Saintess and the two Protector Elders beside her. As for the other two next to the Demon Saintess, they were just minor characters.
Luo Qingyu looked at the tense disciples below, the corners of her lips curving up slightly. She turned to look at the four people beside her and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, it's our turn to make an appearance.”
Watching Ye Qiao and the others slowly walk toward them, the hearts of the other Personal Disciples present leapt into their throats. Some set up arrays, some gripped talismans, and some drew their swords, preparing for a life-or-death battle. Seeing this, Luo Qingyu couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
Walking at the very front, Ye Qiao heard Luo Qingyu's laughter behind her, and her face almost flushed red from trying to hold it in.
“Ahhh, Fourth Senior Brother, can you be a bit more serious? If you keep laughing, I'm going to break character too.”
Even so, the corners of Ye Qiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch upward into a faint smile.
Ming Xuan and his group looked at the five “demons” opposite them, who all wore bizarre smiles, and immediately panicked.
“Ahhh, they're smiling!”
“How perverted.”
“...Is this the legendary villain's smile from novels?”
“So creepy! Everyone, be careful.”
Seeing their terrified expressions, Ye Qiao almost doubled over with laughter. Forcing down her amusement, she slowly took off her veil, revealing her mischievous face, and waved her hand with a grin.
“Hehehe, brothers, we're on the same side!”
With a snort, Luo Qingyu couldn't hold it in any longer. She ripped off the mask on her face and said with a smile, “Long time no see, everyone.”
“...”
Staring at the shocking scene before them, everyone fell into a dead silence.
