"I have a potion here that can help you better tame her."

"What is it?"

"A specialty of the Kingdom Chu, Hehuan Powder. Just have her take it."

"And to be safe, I suggest you crush her Golden Elixir... Relying solely on the Immortal Binding Rope to suppress her is not a long-term solution. Even if she really bears you a child, you can't think of letting her go."

The man in the black robe warned.

"Alright, I'll do as you say. Don't forget there are still two people left unresolved. You need to find a way to deal with them."

"Don't worry about it. I've already dealt with two, and the remaining one who's missing will eventually come to us."

He assumed that Lin Heng had already been taken care of by Jiang Caiyan.

Yun Yao overheard their conversation.

She never imagined these two could be so vile and malicious.

Crush her Golden Elixir and force her to bear a child?

She couldn't fathom how tragic it would be to fall into such a situation.

She regretted it!

If she had known, she would have stayed obediently by Lin Heng's side.

She knew something bad would happen, yet she insisted on wandering alone.

However, she wasn't too worried about it.

Lin Heng had mentioned many times that she would end up being saved by Ye Tian, which meant she would eventually be rescued.

Meanwhile.

After receiving Yun Yao's distress signal, Ye Tian and Lin Heng headed directly to the south of the city.

As soon as they met, Ye Tian immediately questioned, "Junior Brother, weren't you with Senior Sister?"

"No, you know how Senior Sister is, right? She likes to wander around, how could I find her?"

"I heard in the south of the city that Senior Sister seems to have been captured by the City Lord's Mansion."

"The City Lord's Mansion?" Ye Tian was a bit surprised. What power does the City Lord's Mansion have to capture Yun Yao?

"Why capture her?"

Lin Heng shrugged, "She killed the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, probably because of that."

"Hmph, he deserved it." Ye Tian gazed ahead and said slowly, "I've investigated the City Lord's Mansion these past few days. They are colluding with the Blood Moon Cult, monopolizing trade around Golden Horse City."

"Not only do ordinary people often go missing in Golden Horse City, but the surrounding areas are also affected."

"The Blood Moon Cult seems to have intentions of emerging. If I'm not mistaken, the Flower House you investigated is also related to them."

"Senior Brother, do you mean the Blood Moon Cult wants to make themselves known? Aren't they afraid of being hunted down again?"

"Not entirely sure. I searched the outskirts of Golden Horse City twice and found a mine with many hidden corpses and barrels of blood. Among them, I discovered an ornament belonging to a disciple of the Purple Void Sect."

"The Purple Void Sect must have sent disciples with the same mission as us to investigate Golden Horse City. It's clear their disciples died at the hands of the Blood Moon Cult, yet they didn't make any noise, not even a whisper to the outside world."

The so-called sect mission is a cooperative mechanism between the Dynasty and the Immortal Sect.

We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.

This means each sect receives different missions, and the Purple Void Sect once accepted this so-called Grade D Mission.

But they failed!

They didn't continue, instead passing the mission to other sects to complete.

To say there's nothing suspicious about this, who would believe it?

One has to admit, Ye Tian is very meticulous.

After Yun Yao was captured, he didn't act rashly by storming the gate but instead discussed a foolproof plan with Lin Heng.

[Ah! It's always my Senior Brother Ye, his plans are right in my face.]

[You act as bait, I'll infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion to rescue her. If we succeed, the credit is yours. If we fail, I'll surely die in there.]

[Clearly having the strength to take down the City Lord's Mansion directly, yet using it to get me killed.]

Lin Heng sneered internally.

Ye Tian's plan was just that.

Send Lin Heng to the City Lord's Mansion as cannon fodder, not expecting him to rescue Yun Yao directly.

"What? Junior Brother, do you have any objections to my plan? Or are you... afraid to take the risk and unwilling to save Junior Sister Xiao Yao?"

Ye Tian said coldly.

"Haha." Lin Heng forced a smile, shaking his head, "What are you saying! How could I not follow Senior Brother's plan? How could I stand by when Senior Sister is in trouble?"

In the original plot, he didn't think much and went directly.

Not only did he unexpectedly find Yun Yao's location in the dungeon, but he also managed to escape successfully.

Thinking back now, Ye Tian's move was a blatant strategy.

Going would likely result in his death, and if he died, the recommendation for the inheritance disciple of Qianyun Peak would have to be Ye Tian.

Not going would label him as ungrateful and unrighteous, causing Yun Yao to be greatly disappointed. After Ye Tian won her over, a little provocation would make Yun Yao's personality make his life miserable.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

After breaking free from her restraints, Jiang Caiyan immediately contacted the man in the black robe.

"Young Master, you don't look well. Have you dealt with that disciple from the Azure Pavilion Sect?" the man in the black robe asked.

"No."

"Stop the plan. Leave Golden Horse City immediately and lay low. I can't handle those three from the Azure Pavilion Sect."

The man in the black robe was stunned, and Jiang Caiyan continued, "I need more time for my cultivation cycle. I can't help you with the matters in Golden Horse City."

"But Young Master, we agreed to help the City Lord's Mansion with this wave of trouble..."

Jiang Caiyan shot him a glare, and the man in the black robe fell silent.

"We've already dealt with the Purple Void Sect for them. The Blood Moon Cult isn't here to clean up their mess. There are thirteen cities in the Western Continent, not just Golden Horse City."

The man in the black robe shuddered. Was the Young Master planning to abandon Golden Horse City?

"What about the Cult Leader?"

"I'll explain it myself."

Jiang Caiyan said bluntly.

Now wasn't the time to consider the fate of Golden Horse City.

With the incident involving Lin Heng, her cultivation cycle was incomplete, preventing her from returning to the Golden Elixir Realm. How could she compete with other disciples from the Azure Pavilion Sect?

Of course, she couldn't reveal that she had been marked with the beast seal.

Once she had recovered, she could seek revenge on Lin Heng.

The man in the black robe remained silent for a long time, ultimately nodding in agreement.

This meant that his previous promises to Sun Yinan were now void.

Luring the Azure Pavilion Sect disciples outside the city to kill them and crushing the Golden Elixir of the captured Yun Yao were all empty words.

He thought of informing Sun Yinan, but realizing the Blood Moon Cult was abandoning the interests of Golden Horse City, he knew it would be futile.

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with activity.

Unaware that they had been deemed expendable, danger was quietly approaching.

"Master, the potion has been administered to the woman. It won't be long before it takes effect."

The butler whispered to Sun Yinan.

"Hmm." Sun Yinan nodded, "Is the man in the black robe ready? Once he disables the woman, I can avenge my son."

"The man in the black robe went out not long ago. He should be back soon."

"Good, then prepare the banquet and bring more wine."

"Yes."
