Chapter 2004: Eliminated Zu An knew that what she said did make some sense. As of late, she had tried all kinds of methods, but still hadn't been able to find where exactly Yun Jianyue was. With Yun Jianyue’s cultivation, it shouldn’t have been too difficult to get away even if she was completely surrounded. And yet, in that case, she would have contacted him a long time ago. However, he had no information at all. It was probably as Qiu Honglei speculated - that she was trapped somewhere and both parties had entered a stalemate. The attackers couldn't continue, but Yun Jianyue couldn't escape either. But if he really pressured these rebels too far and they decided to just bring the whole place down as a final struggle, Yun Jianyue would never be able to escape. He couldn't afford to take that risk. “Besides, I couldn't find any trace of Lu Sanyuan and the others either, nor do I know just which people are colluding with him. That's why I needed something like a marriage, where almost all of the major members of the sect would attend. Then, it’d be easier to catch them all in one go,” Qiu Honglei said. “But even if it's just an act, there's no way I can really let you marry that Fang Long.,” Zu An said gravely. Qiu Honglei smiled sweetly before replying, “Isn’t that easy enough? Can’t we just have someone take my place?” Zu An thought of something and asked, “You’re talking about that person?” Qiu Honglei nodded. The two of them laughed in mutual understanding. However, she said, “Even so, there's another problem. Those female disciples saw you when you came in here. Even if we kill them, Lu Sanyuan and the others will have noticed that something is wrong.” Zu An smiled and said, “Don’t worry. That’s not a big problem at all.” After saying that, he took out some Worries Be Gone Rosemary and gave the female disciples a sniff. Qiu Honglei asked curiously, “What kind of drug is this?” Zu An told her about the Worries Be Gone Rosemary. Qiu Honglei immediately protested playfully, “You always have so many kinds of drugs on you. It’s really a shame that you didn’t join the Yin Yang Path.” Zu An’s face heated up and he said, “It’s just to research the medicinal properties. Isn’t this the perfect time to use such a drug?” As long as he controlled the dosage, it wouldn’t make their desires go out of control. At the same time, it could make them forget about what had just happened. Qiu Honglei harrumphed. “Either way, you’re not allowed to use this on other women.” Zu An couldn't help but chuckle, replying, “Then does that mean that I can use it on you?” A flirtatious look flickered across Qiu Honglei’s face and she said, “You don’t even need to use it on me.” Suddenly, her eyes flickered and she noticed Daji standing quietly next to her. She was incredibly moved, saying, “Even though this isn’t the first time I’ve met her, she really is beautiful... Also, for some reason, I feel a sense of familiarity from her.” She immediately added, “You’re not allowed to do anything weird to her.” Zu An impatiently retorted, “Am I that kind of person?” “Look at how pretty this woman is. I refuse to believe that you’ve never been tempted before.” Qiu Honglei harrumphed. Zu An sensibly chose not to continue talking about the subject with her. The two of them discussed their next plans again, and then he quickly left. Without Daji controlling them, the dazed guards all returned to normal. They all looked a bit confused, but when they saw that the saintess was still inside, they sighed in relief and didn’t think about anything else. ... Meanwhile, after Zu An left, he still felt a bit unsatisfied. He secretly looked around the Lake of hatred. Firstly, he wanted a good idea of the Devil Sect General Headquarters’ layout, and secondly, he wanted to find traces of Yun Jianyue. He expanded his vast divine sense and also used the jade badge’s little creatures to aid in his search. Unfortunately, even after searching the entire place three times, he still couldn't find Yun Jianyue. If it not for Qiu Honglei’s glowing red yellow talisman that showed that Yun Jianyue was indeed still at the Lake of Hatred, even he would have suspected that she had already left. Helpless to do anything else, he could only return to the Yin Yang Path for the time being. Of course, he changed back into Fang Biao’s appearance, and he shamefully found another unlucky soul to use the Kawaii Waifu Voice Changer on. “Motherf*cker... This appearance-changing skill really isn’t something meant for a human to do,” Zu An muttered, still cursing as he returned to Fang Biao’s courtyard. When she saw him return, Zhang Zitong welcomed him happily. “Si... Master!” Zu An said in annoyance, “There are no outsiders here, so just call me sir.” “No way! What if I get used to that and make a mistake in front of other people?” Zhang Zitong said with a firm expression. Zu An frowned, but he let her do what she wanted. He had to admit that being called 'master' by a beauty with such wonderful legs was a pretty good feeling. “What gains has master reaped from this trip?” Zhang Zitong asked. Zu An naturally couldn’t tell her everything; he only told her about what he needed her to do on the day of the wedding. Zhang Zitong listened extremely patiently and said, “Master, don’t worry. I'll definitely complete my mission.” “You have to be careful. The Devil Sect is full of powerful cultivators,” Zu An warned. Zhang Zitong felt warm when she heard his words of concern. When she looked at him, her expression also became gentler. Now that they had finished talking about important matters, the room immediately became quiet. Both of them felt a slightly awkward atmosphere settle in. “It’s already late, so you should go next door for some rest,” Zu An said. However, who could have thought that Zhang Zitong didn’t leave at all? She replied in a low voice, “Did master forget that with Fang Biao’s personality, there’s no way he would let an incredible beauty like me leave?” Zu An was a bit speechless. He said, “Everyone knows he's just finished using the Eighteen Spring Winds. How could he possibly still have those thoughts?” Zhang Zitong’s face turned a bit red. She replied, “Even if... Even if he was tired, he'd still want to have women in his arms when he’s sleeping. That’s a way of showing off in and of itself.” “You seem to understand these kinds of bastards quite well.” Zu An said, a bit surprised. “I used to chase down scoundrels all across the world of warriors and interacted quite a bit with these kinds of people, so that’s why I understand their personalities,” Zhang Zitong said with a sigh. Because of her beauty, she had frequently been sent out to lure snakes out of their holes. Since she had always been fully prepared and had her colleagues to coordinate with her, it had always led to uccess after success. And yet, who could have thought that she would end up being done in by Fang Biao? It was all because of that weird drug being too strong. Zu An said, “Then you can just stay here. You can sleep on the bed.” Zhang Zitong’s heart was pounding. What does Sir Eleven mean? Does he want me to sleep with him? Should I refuse, or... Before she even thought it through, she already reflexively replied, “Okay.” Suddenly, the door to the courtyard was shoved open and Fang Hu called out mockingly from far away, “Third brother, your second brother is here to see you!” He instantly appeared by the door, burning with anxiety. A strong smell of alcohol wafted over even from far away. Even though he said that he was here to see his third brother, his eyes never even landed on Zu An, and instead greedily sized up Zhang Zitong. Those legs really are incredible... I’m sure they could crush a person to death. “Old third, why don’t you go out for a stroll? I drank too much and need to stay at your place to catch my breath,” Fang Hu said as he released a gassy burp, waving his hand at Zu An as if he were ordering a servant. A hint of anger flickered across Zhang Zitong’s eyes. She naturally knew what he was really thinking. This man even publicly stole his younger brother’s women! He really was scum among scum. Zu An indifferently said, “I believe that the one who should leave is you.” “Oh my, our brat must be itching for a beating!” Fang Hu’s expression immediately changed as he said, “If you don’t want to be obedient, don’t blame this big brother for not giving you any face.” He pushed toward Zu An while saying that. An intimidating aura began to spread from his body. He knew that his third brother was a sheep in wolf’s clothing. If they really fought, it wouldn’t make a difference even if he only used one hand. Since this kid doesn’t want to respect his seniors, I’m going to screw his woman right in front of his face! He was getting excited just from the thought of it. Hm? He should already be starting to get scared around now. Why is he still so calm? Wait, when did this white-clad woman suddenly appear? And she’s so beautiful, almost like a goddess from the heavens... As he looked at her, his eyes became unfocused, and he stood still in a daze. Zhang Zitong was also amazed. Sir Eleven’s female subordinate is too amazing! She easily restrained this insufferably arrogant Fang Hu! More importantly, she's so beautiful, beautiful to the point of causing despair. I can’t even bring myself to feel an ounce of jealousy toward her. But even so, my legs should be longer than hers. It’s a pity that she’s wearing a dress and we can’t compare with each other. Zu An didn’t know she was making such comparisons. He asked Fang Hu, “Do you know where Sect Master Yun is?” “Shouldn’t Sect Master Yun be in the Demonic Voice Pavilion?” Fang Hu replied with a slightly bewildered tone. Zu An frowned slightly. It seemed Fang Hu didn’t know about the schemes that were going on. They were likely a plot conducted by Lu Sanyuan and a few higher-level figures. As such, he asked about some other questions to gain a deeper understanding of the Devil Sect. He suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, there were some mysterious people who came to talk in secret with your father for a while. Do you know who they were?” Fang Hu nodded and said, “They seemed to be from the Shadow Group.” Zu An was startled. He hadn’t expected even the Shadow Group to be involved too. He asked, “What did they talk about?” “I don’t know about the exact details, but they seem to want father to help find someone. But I don’t know who exactly that person is," Fang Hu answered. When he heard that, Zu An frowned slightly. Could it be that the Shadow Group is also looking for Yun Jianyue? Did the Yin Yang Path Master just not tell them the truth, or does he not know where Yun Jianyue is either? But then, how am I supposed to continue my search now? At first, he'd deduced that the Yin Yang Path Master and Lu Sanyuan were conspiring against each other, but now, he wasn’t so sure anymore. He asked a few more questions, but didn’t receive any further meaningful replies. As such, he just casually tapped the space between Fang Hu's brows, causing the other man's body to tremble. Fang Hu's expression slackened, and he fell to the ground. Zhang Zitong exclaimed in shock, “You’re going to just kill him?” “Leaving scum like this alive would only bring further harm to the world," Zu An said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the White Lotus Flame swept out and burned Fang Hu’s corpse away. “Won’t there be issues? He is still the Yin Yang Path’s second young master!” Zhang Zitong said worriedly. She had learned a bit about the Devil Sect on the way here. The direct disciples of the Yin Yang Path were all the Yin Yang Path Master’s own sons, so they had extraordinary statuses. “It doesn’t matter,” Zu An said calmly. Zhang Zitong wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, forget about a trifling second young master of the Yin Yang Path, even if it was the Yin Yang Path Master himself, Sir Eleven now led the entire Embroidered Envoy. Why would he need to feel scared? ... Meanwhile, in another courtyard, a young man was cultivating in his room. His aquiline nose was especially striking. Soon after, a subordinate entered to make a report. When the young man heard what his subordinate said, he slowly opened his eyes and remarked, “Second bro went to bully third bro again? Hmph, I want to see just how beautiful this silver token envoy is for myself, for second bro to be so impatient!”
