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

Taiyue made inquiries along the way, and after much difficulty, he finally found some valuable clues in a remote town. It was said that recently, a large number of children had mysteriously disappeared near a dilapidated temple outside the town. The temple seemed shrouded in a mysterious haze, which was terrifying.

He crept quietly around the ruined temple like a ghost, holding his breath and observing every move around him. Night fell as dark as ink, and the surroundings were eerily silent, as if the whole world had fallen asleep. Only the occasional shrill cry of a night owl broke the suffocating silence.

Suddenly, under the hazy moonlight, several furtive figures appeared at the temple's entrance. Taiyue took a closer look and, judging by their attire, could tell they were low-ranking thugs from the Purgatory Horns. They were whispering among themselves, their voices quiet, but Taiyue's keen hearing caught them. They seemed to be plotting how to relocate these pitiful children.

Taiyue was overjoyed and couldn't contain his excitement. He quietly approached, hoping to hear more clearly. However, at this critical moment, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch hidden in the grass. The crisp "crack" sounded particularly loud in the silent night, instantly alerting the minions.

"Who's there?" a minion shouted loudly, his voice full of panic and vigilance.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Taiyue stopped hiding and rushed out like a tiger.

"You bunch of cruel and cruel villains, hand over the children now!" Tai Yue glared at them, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and that angry look seemed to be able to burn the enemies in front of him to ashes in an instant.

The minions were startled at first, and were stunned for a moment by this sudden situation. Then, ferocious expressions appeared on their faces, as if they were wolves forced into a desperate situation.

"It turns out that he is a guy who doesn't know how to live or die. Brothers, go ahead!" The leading thug shouted loudly, waving the weapons in his hands, and rushed towards Taiyue first.

They surged forward like a tide, brandishing all kinds of weapons and launching a frenzied attack on Taiyue. Although Taiyue was extremely powerful and had mastered the art of martial arts, facing the siege of several people, it was difficult for him to quickly win, and the situation became stalemate.

At this moment, Tai Qing was anxiously following Tai Yue's trail. Her heart was in her throat, fearing that something bad had happened to her brother.

Suddenly, she felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation coming from not far away.

"Could it be my brother?" Tai Qing thought to himself, and without hesitation, he increased his speed and flew towards the direction of the fluctuation.

"Brother, let me help you!" Tai Qing shouted softly and joined the battle like a fairy.

With Taiqing's help, the situation was reversed in an instant. The brother and sister worked in perfect harmony and quickly subdued the minions.

"Tell me, where did you hide the children?" Tai Yue pointed his sword at one of the minions, his voice as cold as ice, making people shudder.

The thug was so frightened that he trembled with fear, his teeth chattering, and he quickly revealed the whereabouts of the children.

The brother and sister looked at each other with determination in their eyes, and hurried towards the place where the children were imprisoned.

The brother and sister quickly rushed to the place where the children were imprisoned. It was a dilapidated cave hidden deep in the mountains. A strange fog filled the entrance of the cave. The fog was so thick that it seemed like an invisible mouth that would ruthlessly devour any life that approached.

Taiyue walked cautiously ahead, his sword tightly gripped. A faint light flickered from its blade, illuminating a small area ahead. The light flickered in the darkness, as if threatened to be swallowed by it at any moment. Taiqing followed closely behind, his magical weapon tightly grasped. His expression was tense and focused, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, not missing a single movement.

Entering the cave, it was dark and damp, and the icy air hit us hard, making us shiver. The chill seemed to penetrate our bones and reach the depths of our souls. The occasional sound of falling water was particularly clear in the silence, like a countdown to death, each drop striking at everyone's heartstrings. The stone walls were covered with an unknown moss, exuding a nauseating smell of decay that filled the air.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the cave. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with endless anger and resentment, making people shudder. The roar echoed in the cave, as if countless wronged souls were crying out.

"Sister, be careful!" Taiyue warned in a low voice, leaning forward slightly in a defensive stance. His muscles tensed, like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey.

As they continued forward, the ground beneath their feet became muddy and slippery, forcing them to take every step with extreme caution, fearing a slip. Several large iron cages stood on one side of the cave, holding the missing children. The children huddled together in terror, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear. Their faces were dirty, their clothes tattered, a sight that was heartbreaking. Those innocent eyes were filled with a longing for freedom and safety.

"Don't be afraid, children, we are here to save you!" Tai Qing shouted loudly, her voice full of tenderness and determination, trying to bring a little comfort to the children. Her voice echoed in the cave, bringing the children a ray of hope.

At that moment, a group of dark figures darted out of the darkness, ghostlike. They were more minions from the Purgatory Hell, armed with a variety of weapons, their eyes revealing ferocity and greed. Their greedy gazes seemed to devour the siblings and the children.

"Humph, saving people isn't that easy!" the leading thug said viciously. He had a long scar on his face, which looked particularly hideous in the dim light. The scar was like an ugly centipede, distorting his features.

Taiyue and Taiqing didn't flinch, immediately engaging the minions in a fierce battle. Taiyue's sword swung with lightning speed, each strike carrying a sharp blade of energy that instantly pierced the darkness. The sword energy crisscrossed like dancing silver snakes, illuminating every corner of the cave. Taiqing's magical weapon radiated a dazzling light, and spells shot out from it, striking the enemies. The spells shone brightly, like fireworks, bringing a moment of splendor to the darkness.

For a moment, the cave erupted in sword energy, magic flashed, and shouts of killing and the clash of metal mingled in a thrilling melody of battle. Taiyue's clothes were ripped by enemy weapons, leaving wounds all over his body. Blood flowed out, staining his clothes red. But his eyes remained firm, as if the wounded were not himself, but the enemy. Taiqing's magic power was greatly depleted, and beads of sweat covered her forehead, trickling down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground. But she gritted her teeth and fought on, refusing to let up even a little.

After a bitter battle, the brother and sister finally defeated all the minions with their tenacious will and superb martial arts. Their bodies were stained with blood, both their own and their own. The blood bloomed on their bodies like red plum blossoms, bearing witness to their bravery and fearlessness.

"Children, it's okay. We'll take you home." Taiyue said, panting heavily, a relieved smile on his face. That smile was as warm as a spring breeze, melting the fear in the children's hearts.

However, just as they were about to leave the cave with the children, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from outside. The laugh echoed through the valley, making people's hair stand on end, as if it came from a demon from the abyss of the underworld.

"Do you think it's so easy to leave?"

A mysterious figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, shrouded in black mist. His face was invisible, but a pair of blood-red eyes flashed with an eerie light, blocking their path. Those eyes were like burning flames, filled with evil and danger.

Taiyue and Taiqing's hearts tightened, wondering who the newcomers were. A strong sense of crisis washed over them. They tightly guarded the children and prepared to face the new challenge.
