When his junior sister knelt down, the aloof fairy's Dao heart shattered!

This is a Sword Array! A deadly Sword Array formed by six supreme grade Flying Swords!

"Obediently surrender, and perhaps you can keep your body intact." Lin Yuan's voice drifted down from above, carrying a hint of a cat playing with a mouse's pleasure, "Otherwise..."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, revealing his killing intent.

Facing imminent death, a look of determination flashed in Sang Zhi's eyes. She slapped her Storage Pouch at her waist, and a Talisman glowing with a faint blue light appeared in her palm.

She slapped the Talisman onto herself without hesitation.

Buzz!

The Talisman instantly transformed into mysterious blue runes, integrating into her body. Sang Zhi's body became ethereal in an instant, like a wisp of blue smoke without substance.

With a gentle sway of her figure, she directly ignored the invisible Sword Array'sblockade, passing through it as if through water, appearing outside the Sword Array.

"Oh? Azure Void Escape Talisman?" Lin Yuan exclaimed, neither too loudly nor too softly, upon seeing this.

This Talisman can temporarily etherealize the Physical Body, making it immune to most physical attacks and Restrictions. It is a supreme grade item used for breaking through arrays, bypassing Restrictions, and escaping to preserve one's life.

Just as Sang Zhi escaped the Sword Array, a trace of relief at having survived a disaster arose in her heart, and she prepared to flee a thousand miles away immediately.

A shimmering golden net, however, descended from the sky without warning, covering her head.

The net grew with the wind, instantly covering a ten-zhang radius of the sky. Runes flowed upon it, emanating a terrifying aura that seemed to bind all things. It was precisely the Magic Treasure bestowed by Yue Qingyao—the immortal binding net!

Sang Zhi was greatly alarmed and was about to dodge, but she found that the golden net seemed to have locked onto her aura. No matter how she changed direction, she could not escape its enveloping range.

She looked back in despair, wanting to see who was ambushing her in the dark, but she saw a scene that made her heart pound with fear.

Not far away, her fellow Junior Sister, Zhou Waner, maintained a throwing posture, her pale and beautiful face devoid of any expression.

"Junior Sister... you... what are you doing...?" Sang Zhi's voice trembled, her eyes filled with deep shock and disbelief.

Zhou Waner did not respond to Sang Zhi's questioning, which was filled with shock and incomprehension.

She also couldn't answer.

She merely bowed slowly and respectfully to the young man in mid-air who wore a mischievous smile, her actions a mixture of countless humiliations, fears, and a sense of enslavement from the depths of her Soul.

A title, uttered with difficulty from her trembling lips, was faint but like a Nine Heavens divine thunder, it exploded in Sang Zhi's mind.

"Ma... Master..."

Master?

What did she hear?

Her Junior Sister, who was aloof and cold as ice, and absolutely loyal to her Master Yue Qingyao, actually called a Devil Head from the Yin Corpse Sect... Master?!

What exactly was going on?! Was she dreaming? Or had Zhou Waner been a Sect traitor from the beginning, a spy planted by Master?

Countless absurd thoughts surged wildly in her mind, almost completely shattering her Dao Heart.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He cast an approving look of "you're very good" at Zhou Waner below, who looked miserable and trembled slightly.

"Well done."

He chuckled softly, his gaze leisurely turning to Sang Zhi, who was tightly bound by the immortal binding net and unable to move.

"It saved me a lot of trouble. I originally wanted to spend more effort and have a good time with Fairy you."

Even if Zhou Waner hadn't used the immortal binding net, Lin Yuan had already prepared a backup plan. The Six Harmonies Sword Array, combined with his essence binding rope, would give him at least a ninety percent chance, if not a perfect ten, to slay this woman with his sword.

In a sense, Zhou Waner's action actually saved Sang Zhi's life.

Lin Yuan's gaze returned to Sang Zhi, who was tightly bound by the immortal binding net and unable to move. Her shapely figure appeared even more alluring under the restraint of the golden net. He swayed, appearing before her like a ghost.

Sang Zhi was greatly alarmed. Just as she was about to circulate her magical power for a desperate struggle, Lin Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, swiftly like lightning, and repeatedly tapped several vital acupoints on her body.

A strange sensation of numbness instantly spread throughout her limbs and bones, and the surging magical power within her body instantly froze like a river, becoming stagnant and impossible to mobilize in the slightest.

"This is not the place to talk." Lin Yuan grabbed Sang Zhi's warm and jade-like arm, feeling its smooth texture, and squeezed it incidentally, drawing a murderous glare from her.

"Fairy, don't look at me like that. Let's find a quiet place and have a good chat about life's ideals."

Before he finished speaking, he had already piloted the light feather boat, transforming into a gray streak of light, and sped towards the depths of the distant dense forest.

Zhou Waner remained silent, following closely behind, her eyes complex as she looked at her Senior Sister held in Lin Yuan's hand, a mix of emotions churning in her heart.

After another hundred li, Lin Yuan stopped before an inconspicuous barren mountain. His Divine Sense swept over it, he selected a mountain wall, flicked his fingers repeatedly, and several Sword Qi shot out.

Amidst flyinggravel, a simple Immortal Cave large enough for several people to reside in was formed.

He casually threw Sang Zhi onto the damp ground, then set up a few simple Restrictions, before calmly sitting down cross-legged, his gaze falling upon Zhou Waner, who stood with her head bowed to the side.

"Yue Qingyao sent you?" Lin Yuan asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Yes." Zhou Waner dared not conceal anything, answering respectfully.

Sang Zhi, who was beside her, trembled with anger upon hearing this straightforward answer, yet she couldn't speak, only glaring at her with furious and resentful eyes.

"What is your relationship with Yue Qingyao?"

"We are Master's Disciples." Zhou Waner's voice lowered a bit, "Senior Sister Sang Zhi is Master's Eldest Disciple, and I am the Second Disciple."

"So that's it, Personal Disciples." Lin Yuan nodded, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

"However... I am a bit curious." Lin Yuan stroked his chin, his eyes becoming playful, "Yue Qingyao should hate me to the bone, wishing she could eat my flesh and sleep on my skin. Why didn't she come personally, but instead only sent the two of you to your deaths?"

Upon hearing this question, Sang Zhi's face suddenly changed, and she sharply reprimanded, "Junior Sister! Stop talking! If you still remember even a shred of Master's kindness, then shut up! Otherwise..."

Zhou Waner's delicate body trembled, she pursed her lips, and finally, a deep struggle and hesitation appeared on her face.

She had been implanted with the God-Sealing Technique by Lin Yuan, her life and death were at his whim, and she could not resist. Saying some unimportant news was one thing. But this concerned the Sect's fundamental plan to attack Black Stone City. Once spoken, she would truly become a historical sinner who deceived her Master, annihilated her ancestors, and betrayed her Sect!

A cold light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He didn't even look at Zhou Waner, merely saying faintly, "It seems my little slave girl is a bit disobedient."

As soon as his voice fell, Zhou Waner suddenly let out a suppressed cry of pain, her delicate body trembling violently, as if her Soul was being pierced by thousands of steel needles. She clutched her head, slowly knelt to the ground, her pretty face as pale as paper, and cold sweat instantly soaked her clothes.

"Master... I can speak, but this time, can you spare Senior Sister's life? I... I am willing to bear any punishment on behalf of Senior Sister!" Zhou Waner looked at Sang Zhi, who was bound by the immortal binding net and filled with humiliation and anger, and ultimately could not bear it.
