As night fell, thick darkness spread across the sky and earth like ink, tightly wrapping the stronghold of the underworld supernatural organization.

Yan Yue's figure blended into the night, as light as a falling leaf, silently moving deeper into the outskirts of the stronghold. The surroundings seemed peaceful, with only the occasional cry of a night owl, but Yan Yue knew that beneath this calm surface lay countless murderous intentions.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with some strange energy fluctuations, which made her nerves tense and she dared not relax at all.

She carefully observed her surroundings, her eyes sweeping over every inch of land, every tree, and every rock.

Seemingly ordinary scenery, in her eyes, is full of signs of traps. The seemingly flat stone slabs on the ground are actually hidden traps; the seemingly harmless vines on the branches are actually connected to deadly poisonous needles; even the fragrance of flowers in the air may contain toxins that can cause coma.

This is the style of underworld supernatural organizations, insidious, cunning, and unscrupulous.

But Yan Yue wasn't afraid. Reborn, she possessed the memories of her past life, and more importantly, a hidden golden finger. She could cultivate in secret, increasing her strength without anyone noticing.

At this moment, this golden finger played a crucial role. A strange energy flowed through her body, making her more sensitive to the danger around her.

She clearly "saw" that not far in front of her, under a seemingly ordinary stone slab, there were complex energy fluctuations hidden, which was the mechanism that triggered the trap.

With a light leap, she deftly avoided the stone slab. On the other side, a seemingly withered vine emanated a faint energy wave, a hidden weapon imbued with a deadly poison. Yan Yue held her breath, and with a flash of her figure, she passed beneath the vine without disturbing it in the slightest.

Just like that, she inched deeper into the outskirts of the stronghold, dancing on the edge of a knife, each dodge precise and graceful. Her seemingly fragile frame concealed immense strength and an indomitable heart.

She avoided the visible sentries, dodged the hidden stakes, and quietly approached the core area of ​​the stronghold.

The smell of blood in the air grew stronger, and the energy fluctuations became more intense, foreshadowing the approach of greater danger. Yan Yue took a deep breath, a glint in her eyes. She was ready to face the coming challenge.

Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around her waist from behind. A familiar breath touched her ear, and a deep and magnetic voice rang in her ear: "Yuer, you are always so smart."

Yan Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This sudden intimacy made her feel a little overwhelmed.

Under the cover of night, she didn't have to worry about her expression being seen by Nong Jin, but the heat spreading from her ears to her neck could not be deceived.

"Jin..." Yan Yue called softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, the ending tone trembling slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of shyness.

Nong Jin tightened his arms, pulling her deeper into his embrace. His chin rested on her shoulder, his warm breath caressing the side of her neck, bringing a tingling sensation.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of irrepressible emotion.

Yan Yue obediently nestled in his arms, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from him. At this moment, she forgot the dangers around her and the heavy responsibilities she shouldered, and only wanted to quietly enjoy this moment of tranquility and warmth.

"I know you're worried about me," Nong Jin's voice rang in her ears, "but you have to believe me, I have the ability to protect myself."

Yan Yue nodded gently, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. Nong Jin was always like this, silently supporting her, protecting her, and giving her strength.

"Let's proceed as planned," Nong Jin whispered in her ear, his tone filled with unquestionable determination. "You'll be responsible for in-depth exploration, and I'll be responsible for peripheral security. Remember, if you encounter any danger, send a signal immediately, and I'll rush to your side as soon as possible."

"Yeah." Yan Yue responded softly, her heart full of trust in Nong Jin.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and then Nong Jin slowly loosened his arms. He looked at Yan Yue with deep eyes, his eyes full of tenderness and love. "Be careful."

Yan Yue nodded, turned and blended into the night, continuing to sneak deeper into the stronghold. Nong Jin's eyes followed her figure until she completely disappeared into the darkness, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to guard the perimeter.

At the same time, outside the stronghold, Lin Yu and Su Yao were anxiously waiting for Yan Yue's signal.

"I've been in there for so long, why is there no movement at all?" Lin Yu paced back and forth, his tone full of worry.

Su Yao sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, sensing everything around her. "Don't worry, Miss Yan Yue is very powerful, and with Immortal Emperor Nong Jin protecting her in secret, she will be fine."

"But..." Lin Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Yao.

"Believe her." Su Yao opened her eyes, her eyes firm. "What we have to do now is to follow the original plan, wait for the signal, and be ready to support at any time."

Although Lin Yu was anxious, he knew that Su Yao was right. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner uneasiness. At this moment, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from the distance.

"Not good!" Lin Yu's face changed, "It's the direction of Lei Hu!" He could no longer hold back, drew out his sword and was about to rush out.

"Wait!" Su Yao grabbed him and said, "We haven't received the signal yet. Rushing out now will only alert the enemy!"

"But Lei Hu might be in danger!" Lin Yu shouted anxiously.

"We must trust Yan Yue's plan!" Su Yao said firmly, "If we rush out now, it will probably ruin the whole plan!"

The two argued endlessly, the atmosphere tense. Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from the distance, followed by a powerful wave of energy sweeping over...

After the loud noise, smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everyone's vision. Lin Yu was anxious and wanted to rush out to check the situation, but was held tightly by Su Yao. "Calm down! Rushing out now will only expose our position!" Su Yao's voice trembled slightly, but she remained calm.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of Lei Hu.

He was covered in blood and tattered clothes, but he still stood.

However, several shadow messengers appeared around him again. They were ghostly and swift, entwining Lei Hu like ghosts. Each attack was insidious and vicious, aiming directly at his vital points. Although Lei Hu was brave, he was outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

He swung the axe in his hand, each swing accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, but it was difficult to hit those elusive figures. The attacks of the Shadow Messenger became more and more frequent, and the wounds on Lei Hu's body became more and more numerous. Blood continued to flow, staining the ground red.

"Damn it!" Lin Yu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and worry. Su Yao's face also became solemn. She could feel that Lei Hu's spiritual power was rapidly depleting. If this continued, he would not be able to hold on sooner or later.

At this critical moment, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly came from afar and instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

This surge of spiritual energy was as vast as the ocean, carrying an overwhelming pressure that made everyone present feel suffocated. The shadow messengers' movements visibly faltered, their figures becoming somewhat unsteady, and their attacks losing their accuracy.

It’s Nong Jin!

This surge of spiritual energy came precisely from Nong Jin. Although he was on guard at the periphery, he was also keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield. Sensing the threat posed by Lei Hu, he unhesitatingly released his spiritual power, temporarily stunning the Shadow Messenger.

Lei Hu seized this opportunity, took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy circulated crazily. Although the wounds on his body were still bleeding, his momentum became even more fierce.

He roared, and swung the axe in his hand again. This time, his attack was even faster and more accurate. The axe cut through the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, and fiercely chopped down at the Shadowbringer.

The Shadow Messenger was shocked by Nong Jin's spiritual power and was unable to dodge for a moment, so he could only take Lei Hu's attack head-on.

The giant axe collided with the Shadowbringer's weapon, making a deafening metallic clang. The Shadowbringer was blown away by the powerful force, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Thunder Tiger took advantage of the situation and launched a pursuit, his attacks pouring down on the Shadow Messengers like a violent storm. Although the Shadow Messengers were numerous, they gradually became unable to withstand Thunder Tiger's fierce attack and began to retreat step by step.

Meanwhile, Yan Yue had already penetrated deep into the outskirts of the stronghold. Relying on her past life memories and her golden finger, she cleverly avoided most of the traps and sneaked in silently.

There were not many guards outside the stronghold, and most of them were concentrated in the front, so Yan Yue easily bypassed them.

She came to a secluded corner and carefully observed the surroundings.

This seemed to be a warehouse, filled with various supplies. Yan Yue had a thought: perhaps she could find some useful information here. She cautiously approached the warehouse, ready to go in and take a look.

The warehouse door was unlocked. Yan Yue pushed it gently and it opened. The light inside the warehouse was dim, and the air was filled with a musty smell. Yan Yue held his breath and slowly walked in...

"Did you find anything?" Nong Jin's voice was low and rapid.

"Not yet," Lin Yu's voice was a little anxious, "but the situation on Lei Hu's side is getting more and more critical!"

Su Yao closed her eyes tightly and carefully sensed the surrounding atmosphere. "Wait..." She suddenly opened her eyes, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "I feel a powerful energy fluctuation approaching us!"

Nong Jin's expression changed. "Oh no! It's a master from a mafia supernatural organization! Get ready for battle!"
