Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

After leaving the mysterious cave, Taiyue and Taiqing continued their journey of training. One day, they came to a seemingly peaceful and tranquil village.

As soon as they entered the village, they were acutely aware of a strange atmosphere. The villagers' faces were filled with deep sorrow and unconcealed fear, their weathered features shrouded in a haze. The entire village was immersed in a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

Taiyue and Taiqing asked a white-haired old man and learned that there have been frequent terrible incidents of children going missing in the village recently. Several children have been missing, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

"Old man, what's going on?" Taiyue asked solemnly, frowning. His eyes were filled with concern and confusion.

The old man sighed deeply, a sigh that seemed to carry endless pain and helplessness. "I don't know where this evil force came from, but it specifically targets children. Those are innocent children, so pitiful."

Tai Qing said angrily: "How despicable! These cruel guys are! We must get to the bottom of this matter and give the villagers justice!" Her eyes burned with righteous anger.

The brother and sister decided to conduct a thorough investigation. They began by roaming the village, leaving no stone unturned, patiently questioning every resident who might have information. Some, fearing repercussions, hesitated to speak, simply shaking their heads and retreating into their homes. However, some kindhearted individuals, at the brother and sister's earnest request, provided them with valuable clues.

Some people said that they had heard strange noises on quiet and deserted nights. The noises were eerie and terrifying, as if they came from hell, coming from the woods west of the village. Others said that they had seen some dark shadows wandering around the village, moving mysteriously, like ghosts.

Taiyue and Taiqing decided to wait in the woods west of the village when night fell to see if they could find any clues.

As night slowly fell, the woods fell into a deathly silence, with only the occasional faint chirping of insects adding a touch of eerie atmosphere. Taiyue and Taiqing hid in a dark corner, observing their surroundings intently, not daring to slack off even for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, a chilly wind suddenly blew, rustling the leaves as if whispering some secret. Suddenly, several dark figures emerged from the depths of the woods like ghosts, running at an extremely fast speed towards the village.

"Chase!" Tai Yue shouted in a low voice, his voice full of firmness and decisiveness.

Without hesitation, the brother and sister cast their spells, their bodies as fast as lightning, quickly catching up with the shadows. The shadows were as fast as the wind, so fast that it was astonishing, but Taiyue and Taiqing were not to be outdone. With their tenacious will and superb magic, they kept close behind, refusing to let up.

Finally, the shadows stopped in front of a hidden cave. Taiyue and Taiqing approached cautiously, not daring to make any noise for fear of alerting the enemy. They found two burly guards at the cave entrance, their eyes fierce and radiating a chilling aura.

Tai Qing cast the "Bewitching Spell" and a mysterious light flew out from her hand, instantly making the two guards fall into a coma. Their bodies swayed a few times before they fell heavily to the ground.

The brother and sister quietly sneaked into the cave, which was filled with a pungent smell that made them sick. Walking along the narrow and damp passage, they heard the faint cry of a child, which was like a sharp sword piercing their hearts.

Taiyue and Taiqing quickened their pace and came to a spacious cave, where they saw several children locked in cold cages, shivering with fear and helplessness in their eyes.

"Don't be afraid, children, we are here to save you." Tai Qing comforted them softly. Her voice was gentle but firm, like a ray of warm sunshine shining into the children's dark world.

At this moment, a sinister and terrifying voice was heard: "Hmph, how dare you ruin my good thing!" The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.

I saw a man in black robe slowly walking out from the shadows, with a hideous and twisted smile on his face, like a devil.

Tai Yue glared at the man in black robe and shouted, "You cruel and evil villain, today is the day you die!" His voice was full of anger and determination.

After that, the brother and sister started a thrilling and fierce battle with the black-robed man. The black-robed man cast a strange and evil spell, and for a moment, a dark aura filled the entire cave, as if to swallow everything.

Tai Yue unleashed a "Flame Shockwave" spell, sending a blazing ball of flame flying from his hand, attempting to break the black-robed figure's spell. Tai Qing seized the opportunity and used his agility to rescue the trapped child.

Seeing the situation was bad, the black-robed man turned and tried to escape. Tai Yue was quick-witted and used the "Star Destruction Slash". A dazzling starlight blade slashed towards the black-robed man, illuminating the entire cave.

The man in black robe was unable to dodge and was hit and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The black-robed man was struck by Taiyue's "Star Destruction Slash" and fell to the ground, gushing out large mouthfuls of blood. His breath was almost gone, like a candle in the wind. Taiyue's eyes were wide open, and his sword was raised high, shining with a cold light. He wanted to enforce justice and put an end to this evil man's life.

"Brother, wait a minute!" Tai Qing hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Taiyue frowned and looked at his sister in confusion: "This evil villain has committed so many evil things that it is unforgivable. He cannot be allowed to stay!"

Tai Qing stepped forward, held Tai Yue's arm, and said, "Brother, don't rush to kill him. We need to ask him what he plans to do with these children. In case there are other accomplices or conspirators, we can't act rashly."

After hearing what his sister said, Taiyue, although still furious, slowly put down the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Tai Qing walked up to the black-robed man and said sternly, "Tell me! What is your purpose in kidnapping these children?"

The black-robed man sneered and said weakly, "Humph, even if I tell you, you won't be able to stop it."

Tai Yue shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Speak quickly!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the cave slightly.

The man in black robe was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head to look towards the cave entrance. The brother and sister were also inexperienced and turned their heads subconsciously.

At this moment, the black-robed man took advantage of their inattention and suddenly pulled out a black pill from his pocket and swallowed it without hesitation. In an instant, his body began to convulse violently, foaming at the mouth, and he died a short while later.

"Damn it! He committed suicide!" Tai Yue said in frustration, punching the stone wall next to him hard.
