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

"It's the Great Elder! The Great Elder is back!" A bold clansman looked up, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted.

The others gradually got up and started talking, and it took Yi Jian a while to understand.

"Elder, you're finally back!!"

"Just now, a powerful figure broke into our clan and killed the priest! He's killed! Heaven has forsaken our clan!"

"Could this be divine punishment sent down by our ancestor?" a clansman asked, his face filled with despair.

Upon hearing this, the others were also filled with fear, and the atmosphere in the entire clan was filled with despair; no one looked happy.

It was as if their entire family had been murdered.

Ye Yueyue watched the show in the crowd. Even though there were several Nascent Soul cultivators watching her and her hands were tied, it didn't affect her mood at all.

What a stroke of good luck!

Ye Yueyue was incredibly grateful to that powerful person. Who was this helpful guy? He actually helped her solve a problem.

Her purpose in following the Hidden Clan back was to find an exit; if it wasn't on the outskirts, it must be inside the Hidden Clan.

Instead of searching aimlessly, it's better to feign surrender and then proceed gradually.

With this trump card in hand, death is not an option.

Ye Yueyue glanced at Qingzhao without making a sound, and found that the other party looked puzzled and surprised, with a complicated expression but no trace of sadness.

There was only curiosity.

Qingzhao also looked over, her lips pursed, her expression filled with guilt.

Ye Yueyue looked away, her eyes darting around discreetly as she pondered how to escape.

She had originally prepared for battle, but things fell apart as soon as she returned to the enemy's base camp, so they probably don't have the energy to deal with her now.

as predicted.

"Take her to the dungeon, and I'll deal with her after I've finished." Yi Jian glanced at the unfamiliar girl behind him, his expression quite unpleasant.

His intuition told him that this matter was related to the person who had suddenly appeared, and that she might be in cahoots with that powerful person, but he didn't have the energy to deal with her right now.

With the death of the priest, the entire tribe was thrown into chaos.

He needed to appease his people as soon as possible, make arrangements, and be wary of that powerful figure reappearing.

Yi Jianlian's expression grew increasingly grim as he thought about it.

The overall situation was already settled, so how could such a drastic change have occurred?

"Yes," the person behind him replied.

One group took the saintess away, while another group took Ye Yueyue to the dungeon.

Returning to the familiar dungeon, a dark and damp atmosphere enveloped them. The entire dungeon was built in a dark room within the clan, with the only exit above.

Ye Yueyue was silent for a moment, somewhat speechless. No wonder she couldn't find the way; she was truly an expert.

There seemed to be an underground river nearby, and the sound of flowing water could be faintly heard.

The Hidden Clan locked her in a cell and left. The door clicked shut, and silence returned.

Ye Yueyue raised her eyes and shook the meteorite iron chain on her hand. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seriously, he'll go to jail.

What goes around comes around. Yesterday she saved Brother Suffering, and today it's her turn to go to jail.

Ye Yueyue released her divine sense and discovered that there was still a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the outside, unlike before when the entire dungeon was deserted.

"If I really want to leave, can you stop me?" she pursed her lips.

Ye Yueyue simply resumed her spiritual energy. Teleportation was not unlimited; after experimentation, she could teleport about three times a day.

Her spiritual energy can only be used three times, which consumes a huge amount of energy.

There are no restrictions on teleportation, but it also consumes a significant amount of energy. However, this energy consumption can be recovered using Spirit Replenishing Pills.

While Ye Yueyue was recovering, another incident occurred within the Hidden Clan, and the Holy Maiden disappeared once again!

The two Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the room were both dead, and the room was empty.

Yi Jianlian nearly fainted upon receiving the news. He had originally planned to rely on the Holy Maiden to stabilize public sentiment, but now his plans were completely ruined.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to give a stern order, instructing the remaining five Nascent Soul cultivators to guard the area in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

The atmosphere within the clan quickly became tense, and everyone felt insecure.

They said this was divine punishment sent down by their ancestor, that their clan would be wiped out, and that they would die.

And it all started with the clan leader!

Yi Jianlian was speechless but felt an opportunity had come. Of course, he didn't believe in divine punishment, because that was something he and the clergy had done together.

What he fears now is the powerful figure lurking in the shadows.

So Yi Jian gathered his clansmen together. He stood on the high platform, his expression solemn, exuding the aura of a superior:

"Our ancestors have protected us for thousands of years. How could they allow the Hidden Clan to perish? The successor of the priests has received enlightenment and will lead us toward the light."

Yi Jianlian gave a wink to the young man next to him, who walked onto the stage in a daze.

“This is the disciple of a clergyman. Now that he has abdicated, he must be led by his successor.”

The Hidden Clan members seemed to have been persuaded and were no longer afraid. They looked at the Grand Elder and the young man on the platform, their eyes filled with hope.

It was as if he were some kind of savior.

"Great! We have hope!"

"May the Heavenly Blessings be upon the Hidden Clan!"

"May this tradition continue through generations!"

The shouts in the square gradually rose in volume, filled with fighting spirit.

The young man was initially a bit dazed, but everyone's gaze towards him was respectful and ardent. He slowly overcame his awkwardness, and a smug smile began to appear on his face.

The next second, a cold glint flashed.

A hidden weapon pierced the young man's chest. Before anyone could react, the newly appointed priest had already fallen off the stage.

"Ahhhh!"

The smiles of the Hidden Clan members froze on their faces, each one looking as if they had lost their souls.

“Another, another dead… This is divine punishment, there’s no hope…” a member of the Hidden Clan muttered to himself, his expression crazed.

"We're beyond saving..."

Jing Zhao, hidden in the shadows, flashed a hint of mockery in his pale blue eyes.

Yi Jian's smile vanished. He looked sharply toward the source of the hidden weapon, but couldn't see anyone there; there were too many of his clansmen.

He clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

Who is it?

The meeting ended there, but the order within the tribe became increasingly chaotic, and some incidents even occurred.

Fearing an accident, Yi Jianlian gathered the nascent soul around himself.

Seeing that he had no chance, Jing Zhao returned to the dungeon.

He currently lives here; what is called the most dangerous place is actually the safest place.

As soon as he entered, Qingzhao came to greet him, "Brother."

"Ah."

"Why did you only come back now? My father is gone..." She couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Jing Zhao's calm expression.

In just a few days, she went from being a saint to a sacrifice.

She was terrified by the sudden turn of events that led to her fall from grace and nearly death.

If, if it weren't for her...

“I know.” Jing Zhao lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat inscrutable.

The atmosphere in the dark and damp cell was extremely oppressive, filled with the girl's cries and the young man's silence.

Jing Zhao wasn't good at comforting people, and having spent years training outside, he wasn't familiar with this younger sister. Seeing that the crying had turned into soft sobs, he spoke calmly:

"I'll see you out once this is resolved."

"Where are you going?" Qingzhao looked at him with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling.

She only has her brother now, what will she do all by herself?
