The crowd continued to talk freely, and time flew by.

At some unknown point, a light and nimble footstep entered the cave, and the many cultists who were sitting lazily instantly widened their eyes and sat up one after another.

"Quick! Quick, quick, quick, everyone tidy up!"

"From the sound of the footsteps, it should be the person that the leader had arranged to meet us at the mountain top!"

"I heard that this person is not to be trifled with and is on the same level as our Holy Maiden!"

A skinny Full Moon Sect member reported cleverly at the entrance.

Yino raised his eyebrows slightly, said nothing, pulled his hood a little lower, and hid silently behind the team of cultists.

Through the shoulders of the crowd, Yino also secretly peeked at the entrance of the cave.

As the blazing, long-skirted foxgirl came into everyone's view, Yino couldn't help but feel a throbbing vein on his forehead. He cursed inwardly, thinking he should have guessed earlier. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

"My lady!"

As the girl made her entrance, the many cultists hurriedly knelt on one knee, neatly performing the knight's salute of the Western Regions.

Yino naturally did the same.

He didn't dare to raise his head at all, hiding behind the crowd, even breathing cautiously.

"Disgusting..."

"Don't you Full Moon Sect members ever feel that the smell of life on your bodies is foul?"

As soon as the foxgirl entered the room, she pinched her nose, her expression contemptuous. She snorted rudely and sarcastically. Read more tales on Lokepub-l-em,py-r

She cushioned her large, soft fox tail under her buttocks, her entire body floating and sitting in mid-air. Her flirtatious white-stockinged feet under her blood-red evening gown were just as enchanting as the girl's disdainful, bewitching eyes.

The many cultists kept their heads lowered, and no one dared to look more than once.

"The Wuji Sect disciples have already been lured by me to rest by the hot spring on the slope of the Snow Village. You guys can go up there and take action later..."

The foxgirl said nonchalantly.

Having finished the main business, she narrowed her bewitching eyes and looked around, asking in a serious tone:

"However, I do have a question."

"Please ask, my lady..."

"When you came here to gather, did you encounter a Wuji Sect disciple?"

"A Wuji Sect disciple? Haha, how is that possible! Apart from us Full Moon Sect members, who else could find this Altar of Life?"

"Think carefully, he's quite handsome with..." Jinyue tried to describe him further to everyone.

But this time, before she could finish, the leading cultist laughed with conviction:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"My lady, look, behind us is the Altar of Life. If there really was a Wuji Sect disciple who dared to come seeking his own death, we would have sacrificed him on the spot! How could we keep him alive until you came to interrogate him?"

"Haha, how could there be such a foolish person who would walk right into the trap?"

The more they listened, the funnier they found it.

Behind the crowd, the tall cultist also laughed while patting Yino's shoulder.

Yino broke out in a cold sweat from fright, but could only laugh awkwardly along with them.

"Hmph, that does make sense. Unless he had already left this place before you arrived..."

Hearing this, the foxgirl couldn't help but prop her chin with one hand, nodding thoughtfully.

After a moment of thought, the foxgirl waved her hand.

"Forget it, never mind."

"You guys go kill the people at the hot spring pool first. Remember not to leave a single one alive, especially that little fool who loves to show off the most. You can give him some extra attention... Although you probably won't be able to kill him anyway."

"Can't kill him? He's just a little guy in the Qi Refining stage. My lady, you really know how to joke!"

The many cultists glanced at each other, as if hearing some huge joke. They couldn't help but smile at each other, and got up to leave one after another.

Yino also lowered his head silently and blended into the team.

"Heh, foolish..."

Jinyue couldn't be bothered to waste words on this group of cultists who only had sacrifices on their minds and emitted a bloody, foul stench from their bodies.

However, as the many cultists left, when a black-robed youth with a hood, clean and odorless, brushed past Jinyue, the girl's originally indifferent and contemptuous bewitching eyes suddenly focused.

"——?!!"

Jinyue abruptly turned her head to look, but could no longer find the youth's figure.

By the time everyone had dispersed, only Jinyue was left standing dumbfounded in the cave, her face pale and cold sweat pouring down.

"An illusion?"

"How is that possible..."

"Could it be that I've gone crazy from missing him?"

...

Hot Spring Pool Base.

Chen Jianxin spread his arms, blocking the path of the anxious-looking white-haired girl, unable to help but speak with concern in his eyes.

"Senior Sister, I can't let you go down the mountain alone!"

"It's the middle of the night, the mountain path is steep, and there's a snowstorm. It's too dangerous!"

"Even if Senior Sister is really worried about that He guy, at least wait until tomorrow. I'll escort Senior Sister down the mountain together to look for him!"

At the same time, many young disciples also gathered around, all of them trying to dissuade her with worried eyes.

"But... but..."

In front of everyone, Yunjin's eyes were brimming with tears as she clutched the jade pendant in front of her chest.

She couldn't help wanting to get angry at Chen Jianxin and tell him not to meddle, but Yunjin's mind flashed back to Yino's instructions before he left—stay right here and don't move!

"..."

A drop of tear finally slid down the girl's cheek.

And just as the atmosphere was heavy, the disciple who had been standing guard on the high slope suddenly cried out—

"Not good! I see many black-robed people attacking from all directions!"

Splat——!

Before the disciple could finish speaking, a blood-colored flying sickle pierced through his chest.

Several Full Moon Sect members walked out from behind the young man, standing on the high slope. They casually threw the sentry disciple down like garbage.

"Brothers!"

"Do you still remember the sacrificial experience that senior brother shared earlier?"

"There's so much young flesh and blood tonight, it's enough for us to practice properly!"
