Taiyue and Taiqing, looking exhausted, stopped in a secluded and quiet corner to rest. Their hearts were still pounding from the intense battle, and they were filled with fear as they recalled the events of the battle.

Tai Yue frowned, his face filled with resentment and unwillingness. He said solemnly, "That battle just now was really frustrating. We didn't even have time to use the many powerful spells we carefully cultivated."

Tai Qing bit her lips until they turned slightly white. She nodded gently and replied, "Yes, brother. It seems that daily training in the mountains is different from actual combat after all. We cultivators really need to experience more actual combat. It seems that our actual combat capabilities are really lacking."

After a heart-to-heart talk, the brother and sister realized their own shortcomings. However, this did not make them feel frustrated, but instead strengthened their determination to improve their abilities.

They each carefully pulled out a number of extremely precious medicinal pills from their storage bags. These pills emanated a mysterious and captivating light, revealing at a glance the immensely powerful spiritual energy they contained. The brother and sister swallowed the pills without hesitation, then closed their eyes and meditated. A faint glow flickered through their meridians, and they concentrated their energy, absorbing as much of the potent spiritual energy from the pills as possible and restoring the immense spiritual energy they had expended in the previous battle. Soon, their auras gradually became steady and powerful, and the spiritual energy pulsing around them became increasingly turbulent, clearly returning to peak condition.

Taiyue slowly opened his eyes, a glint of determination flashing in them. The light was like lightning in the dark night, firm and sharp. He turned to look at Taiqing and said, "Sister, we can't just let this go. We must go investigate again."

Tai Qing responded without hesitation, "Okay, brother. Firstly, the guards will surely be exhausted in the middle of the night, and secondly, the enemy will never expect us to return so soon."

So, the brother and sister quietly approached the eerie house again. This time, they cautiously chose to enter from the relatively quiet backyard.

The backyard was remarkably quiet, save for a few guards lazily pacing back and forth near the entrance. Taiyue and Taiqing exchanged a tacit glance and simultaneously cast invisibility spells, perfectly concealing their presence and figures. Like ghosts in the dark night, they carefully avoided the guards' sight and successfully slipped into the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, the scene before them instantly widened their eyes in shock. Inside a large, spacious house, countless children were tightly packed together. The children huddled together tightly, their small bodies trembling constantly, their clear eyes filled with endless fear and helplessness. Their appearance was heartbreaking.

The anger in Taiyue and Taiqing's hearts instantly burned again like a volcano.

Seeing this, Tai Qing's heart tightened and he couldn't help but rush in to rescue the child, but Tai Yue was quick to pull him back in time.

Just then, a guard sauntered over, muttering, "What bad luck! It'll take forever to gather 500 children and send them to headquarters."

When Taiyue and Taiqing heard this, they looked at each other and were secretly surprised. They never expected that the conspiracy behind this was so huge.

They looked at each other, understood each other, and decided to hold off and wait patiently for a better opportunity, hoping to rescue all these poor children in one fell swoop and completely destroy this evil place.

Tai Yue lowered his voice and said to Tai Qing, "Sister, let's not act rashly. Let's wait until we have a thorough understanding of their specific deployment and shift patterns before we act."

Although Taiqing was extremely anxious and wanted to rush in to save people immediately, she also understood that acting impulsively might bring even worse consequences, so she suppressed her inner anxiety and nodded vigorously.

Hiding in a dark corner, the brother and sister kept a close eye on the guards' every move. Time ticked by, and after a long while, they finally figured out the guards' shift changes and patrol routes.

Tai Yue said softly, "Sister, are you ready? When there's a brief break after the guards change shifts, we'll rush in."

Tai Qing tightly grasped the magic weapon in her hand. The magic weapon seemed to come alive in her hand, flashing with a cold light. Her eyes were determined and she said, "Well, brother, I'm ready!"

When the guards changed shifts and a brief gap appeared, Taiyue and Taiqing rushed in like two lightning bolts.

The guards were horrified by this sudden change, and before they could react, they were knocked to the ground by the brother and sister at lightning speed.

"Children, don't be afraid, we are here to save you!" Tai Qing comforted the children in a gentle but firm voice.

When the children heard Taiqing's words, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in their eyes that were originally filled with fear.

However, at this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded without warning.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Taiyue's face suddenly changed.

A large number of enemies rushed in from all directions like a tide, and the brother and sister were surrounded in an instant.

"Hmph, you actually dare to come back!" One of the leaders said viciously with a murderous look in his eyes.

Tai Yue stepped forward fearlessly and shouted, "Even if it costs my life today, I will rescue these children!"

After that, the brother and sister cast their powerful spells again without hesitation and started a desperate fight with the enemy.

As soon as Tai Qing cast the "Ice Soul Cold Attack Curse", the surrounding temperature dropped sharply and the enemy's movements suddenly became slow.

Taiyue's "Flame Shock Wave" roared towards the enemy like a violent fire dragon, and the enemy screamed in agony.

But the number of enemies increased and continued to pour in, and the brother and sister gradually felt overwhelmed.

"Brother, this is not a solution!" Tai Qing shouted.

Taiyue quickly glanced around and said through gritted teeth: "Let's go, retreat first!"

The two fought hard for a while, fighting and retreating. Seeing that the enemies were getting more and more, they could only use their skills to escape from here at an extremely fast speed.

They ran all the way, not daring to stop for even a moment, until they were sure that there were no pursuers behind them, and then they stopped panting.

"What should we do? The children are still in their hands." Taiqing said anxiously, her beautiful face full of worry.

Taiyue was also breathing heavily. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go back and discuss it carefully. We must come up with a foolproof plan before we act."

At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Do you need help?"
