"Hmph, only now you realize the need to be alert? Don't you think it's a bit late?" Ning Zhiyuan had no good feelings towards Sito Rongyan and naturally did not show her any favorable expression. In fact, from Sito Rongyan's position, she couldn't see his expression at all.
Yun Tianmo opened her eyes to look at Sito Rongyan. At that moment, Sito Rongyan was indeed in a sorry state; her clothes were in disarray, and even the hairpin on her head was askew, making it impossible to tell that she was of noble status.
"Is it you?"
Sito Rongyan still remembered Ning Zhiyuan's voice. Just based on how much he resembled the Third Prince, she would never forget him easily.
Against the moonlight, Sito Rongyan squinted hard to try to see the two people clearly. However, since she was restrained, she couldn't condense the Mysterious Energy in her eyes, so no matter how carefully she looked, she ultimately couldn't see clearly.
"You... what is your relationship with the Third Prince?" Sito Rongyan stammered as she asked, "What do you want to do to me?"
Ning Zhiyuan didn't take Sito Rongyan's words to heart; after all, someone who was used as bait wasn't worth paying attention to. On the other hand, Yun Tianmo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and looked at Ning Zhiyuan with an expression that clearly indicated he was enjoying the show.
"What are you looking at me for?" Feeling uncomfortable under Yun Tianmo's gaze, Ning Zhiyuan turned his face aside and muttered that it wasn't his fault if she was infatuated.
"Master, we have news."
Yun Tianmo nodded at this and waved his hand for the shadow guards to leave the cave. He turned to Ning Zhiyuan and said, "It's here."
Tonight's target was the High-Level Three-Eyed Purple-Pupiled Profound Beast. Since Yun Tianmo's people had come to report, it meant that the Ancient Mystic Beast was not far from here. Ning Zhiyuan didn't say anything more and turned to leave the cave.
"Wait, where are you going? What has arrived?" Sito Rongyan's voice was filled with panic. What were these two men planning to do with her? Why had they abandoned all her people in this cave?
The only response to Sito Rongyan was a dead silence; she was the only one left awake in the cave. Thinking about how this cave was the lair of a High-Level Mystic Beast made her tremble like a sieve, her teeth chattering together and producing a clattering sound.
In her panic, she hurriedly reached out to push the guard beside her, wanting to wake them up to protect herself. However, how could Sito Rongyan not know that even if she woke all five guards, it would be of no use? Together, they were barely enough to fill the gaps for a High-Level Mystic Beast.
But she had no way to face what was about to happen alone; only by pushing the guards awake could she find a semblance of safety.
"Thud, thud, thud—"
A series of footsteps echoed from outside the cave, causing Sito Rongyan to stop all her movements. She stared wide-eyed at the cave entrance, her lips trembling, her throat tightening, unable to make a sound.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast had returned from somewhere and caught the scent of humans in the cave from a distance. Initially cautious, it soon sensed that the humans inside were far too weak. It relaxed its guard slightly and walked in.
"Ugh—"
It was actually a woman and five men?!
When Sito Rongyan saw the High-Level Three-Eyed Purple-Pupiled Profound Beast, she was completely frozen in fear, rooted to the spot. The five guards remained oblivious, still fast asleep without any reaction.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast sniffed with its large nose and detected the scent of Little Purple on these humans. Earlier outside, one human had thrown a Purple-Eyed Beast at it, which also carried their scent.
It was instantly filled with rage. It seemed that the true culprits who had harmed Little Purple were these people before it.
Suddenly, a Black Wind swept through the cave, lifting all the furnishings into the air. The little moonlight that had managed to filter in was quickly obscured by this Black Wind, plunging the cave into darkness.
In the pitch-black cave, the howling of the Black Wind echoed endlessly. Sito Rongyan's face and hands were cut by the wind, blood flowing down her delicate skin, turning her into a bloodied figure.
"Help! Help me..."
Sito Rongyan seemed to recall something, and she began to scream for help. There were still people outside; surely someone could save her...
"Haha, who is she calling for help?" Ning Zhiyuan stood within the Mysterious Energy Barrier propped up by Yun Tianmo, listening to Sito Rongyan's cries and feeling nothing but amusement, without a trace of pity.
The Ancient Mystic Beast also found it amusing. It looked at the human woman whose hands were stained with Little Purple's blood, and a scene of Ouyang Zixin calling for help flashed through its mind. It chuckled to itself; both were seeking help, but the circumstances were vastly different.
With a snort, the Ancient Mystic Beast walked towards the frantically screaming Sito Rongyan, its three black hole-like eyes flashing with blue light. The Black Wind continued to tear through the air, wailing like a cat.
"You, don't come any closer." Sito Rongyan was filled with terror as she watched the Ancient Mystic Beast approach. Fear gripped her heart, and she became incoherent. "It was them, not me! I was framed! Don't come closer, I..."
One of the Purple-Eyed Beasts suddenly exerted its power, sending a black vortex straight at Sito Rongyan, temporarily robbing her of her ability to speak and causing her vision to blur.
"Hmph, so you really killed Little Purple." As it spoke, a Purple-Eyed Beast flew out from somewhere and resonated with another Purple-Eyed Beast hidden in Sito Rongyan's chest.
Indeed, these two Purple-Eyed Beasts were obtained after Sito Rongyan ordered the killing of the smaller Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast. One of them had been handed over to Zhao Feiyu by Yun Tianmo's shadow guard. Zhao Feiyu had risked his life to throw it in front of the Ancient Mystic Beast on its way back, leading to the current scene in the cave.
"What a clever way to use someone else's knife," Ning Zhiyuan finally understood Yun Tianmo's plan and sighed deeply. "Yun Jiu, you actually went through such trouble."
If Yun Tianmo's actions were not meant to avenge Ouyang Zixin, Ning Zhiyuan would never have believed it. What puzzled him even more was what motivated Yun Tianmo to arrange such things for Ouyang Zixin.
Could it be because of love? (To be continued.)
