How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

The black-clad man from the Rakshasa Palace remained standing there motionless. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around and that there was almost no more space to hide, Ye Yueyue felt a sense of urgency.

She walked a few steps forward with the crowd and hid behind a man in white, while in front of her were cultivators entering the palace one after another.

Sensing movement behind him, the man turned around and found a petite young girl standing there.

Ye Yueyue sensed the scrutinizing gaze, raised her head, and their eyes met in mid-air.

Seeing those deep brown eyes and those handsome features, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

The girl's gaze was direct, and the man in white smiled and ascended into the air.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Ye Yueyue lost her footing, and her figure was suddenly exposed in the air, her red dress standing out prominently among the cultivators.

The black-clad man, who was waiting, glanced over inadvertently and narrowed his eyes. However, the female cultivator stepped forward the next second.

The fleeting glimpse of her profile looked familiar... as if I'd seen her somewhere before.

"stop!"

Just as Mu Yi was frowning in thought, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw his mortal enemy, Mu Er, the man in black.

Mu Er, his face contorted with rage, shouted at the female cultivator's retreating figure, "That Foundation Establishment female cultivator is the one the protector is after! What are you waiting for? Chase her!"

Mu Er looked displeased.

"You can't even hold a Foundation Establishment cultivator in your face. Your Golden Core is just a facade. You're a disgrace to our Rakshasa Palace."

He hadn't forgotten Mu Yi's mocking words to him before.

As soon as he said these words, the man in black, also known as Mu Er, felt a sense of relief.

Mu Yi was stunned by the barrage of words, and then he remembered that the female cultivator's familiar appearance was the wanted poster in the Rakshasa Palace.

He felt a pang of regret and was about to step forward to arrest him when he saw Lai Tiancheng land in front of him, his eyes flashing with impatience.

"waste."

He quickly bowed and said, "Protector of the Dharma."

Lai Tiancheng didn't even glance at him. He flew forward, his eyes narrowing as he swept over the female cultivator's back, a sinister glint in them.

Seeing Mu Yi's stunned and disappointed expression, Mu Er followed him with a cheerful mood.

As soon as Ye Yueyue turned around, she saw Lai Tiancheng's face. His gaze was piercing, and his aura was cold, exuding an invisible killing intent.

Her heart tightened instantly. She gritted her teeth, stuck on a speed-up talisman, and mustered all her strength to rush into the door.

There was no other choice but to take a gamble!

Seeing this, Lai Tiancheng curled up a disdainful sneer.

He's courting death.

He strode into the white jade gate, his pace neither hurried nor slow.

……

After feeling dizzy, Ye Yueyue opened her eyes and then froze.

It wasn't as bright as it appeared from the outside; instead, it was pitch black all around, truly pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

She raised her hand, and a light shone forth.

The flames illuminated her surroundings, but unfortunately, they only covered a meter. The intense darkness seemed to swallow the light, and no matter how much Ye Yueyue increased her spiritual power, the range of the light would not expand.

She tried everything that could provide light, including fire elemental power, luminous pearls, candles, and so on, but nothing worked, so she gave up.

Ye Yueyue looked at the path beneath her feet and walked carefully.

This appears to be a courtyard, with a bluestone path underfoot and some weeds and moss on the ground.

Is there a river nearby?

She suddenly looked up, but did not see the night sky she had imagined.

It was pitch black.

Unable to reach a conclusion, Ye Yueyue could only move forward. However, she suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, the lamp in her hand going out.

Something whistled past her ear, her pupils contracted, and flames rekindled in her hand.

The sound disappeared instantly. Ye Yueyue looked closely in the light and saw that the uneven, craggy bluestone path under her feet was what caused her to fall.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but the flame in her hand went out again the next second!

No matter how I tried, it wouldn't light up; no method could gather any light.

The darkness here seemed capable of swallowing everything, including her.

Ye Yueyue felt uneasy. She heard some strange noises and the sound of wind whistling past her from time to time.

She sensed her surroundings warily, and seemed to faintly hear the sound of a river.

Before taking a step, Ye Yueyue tentatively felt around to make sure it was solid ground before placing her foot on it.

She was terrified that she would fall headfirst into it and then die.

Is this a palace? Why make it so gloomy?

Divine gold.

Ye Yueyue forced herself not to think about anything else and focused on moving forward.

However, the strange sound grew even louder.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed before my eyes, which were completely dark!

A flash of dark green light, resembling an eerie will-o'-the-wisp, sent panic soaring to its peak in an instant. The sounds around them grew even louder, as if they could see something...

Hey, stop messing around!

Ye Yueyue bit her lip and resolutely closed her eyes.

Since I can't see it anyway, I might as well not look at it. Otherwise, I'll be even more scared if I see something bad.

Ye Yueyue dismissed the thoughts in her mind and the eeriness around her, silently chanting: Makka Pakka...

We just kept walking like that.

She didn't know how much time had passed when the sounds around her gradually faded away and peace returned. She tentatively opened one eye and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The darkness before me was no longer there, but a door.

Ye Yueyue pushed it away without hesitation.

A blinding light struck her, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes uncomfortably, squinting. After a moment, the scene that came into view made her gasp for breath.

Ye Yueyue tensed up, her palms sweating, and without thinking too much, she quickly cast a defensive magic artifact on herself!

"boom!"

The powerful force instantly shattered the protective shield around him.

Ye Yueyue put on her defensive magical artifact again, and her gaze inadvertently swept over the cold profile of the man beside her, her eyes lighting up.

"Senior brother, save me!"

His clear voice carried an unease.

Xu Bai turned around and saw the girl coming towards him. Her small mouth was tightly pursed, and her bright eyes were full of panic.

A warm and delicate touch comes over me.

The girl grabbed his arm and hid behind him.

The next second, a surge of spiritual energy burst through the air, but he didn't even lift his eyelashes as he raised his hand to deflect the force.

The powerful spiritual energy collided in the air, producing a loud sound. The surrounding cultivators immediately took a few steps back, looking at each other in dismay.

His eyes held a hint of schadenfreude.

"I advise the Xiaoyao Sect not to meddle in other people's business." Lai Tiancheng frowned deeply, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Why is it always him?

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Bai clearly felt the girl behind him flinch, and her warm hands tightened their grip.

Ye Yueyue, hiding behind him, peeked out when she heard this:

"What have I done to you? The Rakshasa Palace is trying to kill me for no reason. Is there no justice in this world?!"

With the man beside her, she relaxed a lot, but on her face she looked completely weak and pitiful.
