Tan Xiu took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a few deep puffs before saying, "Everything is ready except for the final push. We'll leave this place after Awu buys the herbs I need to clean up that old geezer Dao Master Poison. However, I've called Light and Dark to come here for the sake of safety. "
"Light and Dark are coming here, Boss?" asked Jin Shi in surprise.
"That's what I'm about to tell you." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I told Awu to inform them. They're expected to arrive in Qinglin County this evening. You're to quietly go to Qinglin County in the afternoon and wait for them in the hotel suite we booked last time. Then bring them here. "
"Understood."
Jin Shi nodded without a word and then dashed toward the distance.
Not far away, Zhang Xinyue quickly came to Tan Xiu after consoling herself and asked, "Can I go with you to Qinglin County? I haven't taken a bath for several days and I feel uncomfortable all over. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I can feel at ease if Jin Shi goes alone. But if you go with him and his identity is exposed, you're bound to fall into Dao Master Poison's hands. Just bear with it. We'll leave this place in two days at most. "
A disappointed look flashed in Zhang Xinyue's eyes as she bitterly said, "This is the first time I haven't taken a bath for such a long time since I was a child. It's really uncomfortable. Also, your clothes. Your coat is fat and big, but your underwear … "
Tan Xiu could only force a wry smile inwardly. His interspatial ring was full of his own clothes, so he never thought of bringing a few sets of girls' underwear. In such a situation, he didn't want Zhang Xinyue to take risks.
Suddenly …
Tan Xiu's expression moved and he hesitantly said, "I can help you if you want to take a bath. But … "
"Can I really take a bath?" asked Zhang Xinyue with a pleasant surprise. "But what?"
Tan Xiu steeled his heart and said, "I'll set up an array. But I want to be nearby when you take a bath. I can't be more than 10 meters away from you."
"Huh?"
Zhang Xinyue's pretty face blushed. But then, she recalled that she and Tan Xiu already had intimate contact, so she simply said, "I'm willing as long as you don't stare at me while I'm bathing."
Tan Xiu secretly sighed and said, "Let's go back to the cave! It's not very safe outside, and there's a chance that we'll be exposed after we set up the formation. "
Finished.
He turned back to the cave and quickly arranged a "Auspicious Rain Array". Then, he arranged a "Diversion Array" on the periphery and said, "Take off your clothes and go inside. You have to bathe quickly, at least in 10 minutes, or there won't be any hot water left."
Undress?
Despite having a straightforward character, Zhang Xinyue was a bit bashful at the moment and hesitantly asked, "Can you turn around? I … "
Tan Xiu took out toiletries from his interspatial ring and handed them to her, saying, "Don't worry! As long as you stepped into the formation, the people outside would not be able to see what was happening inside. On the other hand, you'll be able to see what's happening outside from within the formation. "
"Really?"
Zhang Xinyue hesitated to confirm.
Tang Xiu didn't answer Zhang Xinyue but directly stepped into the array. To Zhang Xinyue's surprise, Tan Xiu took a few steps forward and his figure immediately disappeared from her sight as though he vanished into thin air.
After a while.
Tan Xiu came out of the formation and looked at Zhang Xinyue, saying, "Do you believe me now?"
Zhang Xinyue nodded with satisfaction. After she stepped into the formation, her clothes were drenched by the rainwater that kept falling inside. The cold rainwater made her shiver and she hurriedly retreated. With an angry look on her face, she asked, "Didn't you say there's hot water inside? How come the rainwater inside is so cold? "
"I told you to take off your clothes before you step inside," said Tan Xiu helplessly. "Do you see that line over there? You can take off your clothes as long as you step over that line. Then, you'll have to cross the second line to be drenched by the rainwater. After you cross the first line, you'll have to wait for more than 10 seconds before the rainwater turns hot. "
"What's the reason?"
Asked Zhang Xinyue curiously.
"I used my magic power to wrap the Auspicious Rain Array." Tan Xiu forced a smile and said, "The high temperature of the raging fire will cause the rainwater to heat up without destroying the formation. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Just hurry up if you want to take a bath. My magic power can't support it for too long. "
"Alright."
Zhang Xinyue stepped into the formation again. Although she was a bit hesitant when she took off her clothes, she chose to believe in Tan Xiu when she recalled that he had disappeared just now. When she stepped into the second line naked, she could clearly see Tan Xiu standing outside the formation, his hands forming seals as a layer of flame blazed outside the second line.
She was shy.
That was because when she was naked, Tan Xiu was standing seven or eight meters in front of her.
She was shocked.
It was because of the miraculous formation and the flame that suddenly shrouded the outside.
The water temperature was heating up, and the biting cold finally disappeared. She then quickly washed her body with a bit of shyness. It could be said that this was the fastest and shyest bath she had ever had in her life. After all, taking a bath while looking at Tan Xiu standing seven or eight meters away from her was a stimulating feeling that made her heart surge and ripple.
Several times.
She couldn't help but recall the feeling of ecstasy that night, as well as the scene of their passionate collision.
"Hurry up, I can still hold on for two more minutes."
Tan Xiu's voice came from outside.
Upon hearing his words, Zhang Xinyue quickened her washing speed. After more than a minute, she asked aloud, "I'm done with my bath, but will the water temperature suddenly turn cold when you're done?"
"Do you still remember the two lines I told you?" Tan Xiu said. "Step out after you're done."
"Alright!"
After Zhang Xinyue stepped out and spoke to Tan Xiu, she suddenly realized that Tan Xiu only gave her some toiletries before taking a bath, but he didn't give her any clean clothes to change into.
Tan Xiu's complexion was a bit pale. Using his magic power to light the fire consumed a lot of his energy. After he stopped casting the spell, he silently took out a set of clean clothes from his interspatial ring and put them on the bed in the cave. Then, he said, "I'll leave the clothes here. I'll go out first."
Outside the cave.
Xue Sha and Hei Xiong were hiding in the bushes, observing the distance with a mini telescope. Sensing that someone was approaching, the duo immediately gestured Tang Xiu to keep quiet after seeing him. Then, Xue Sha leaned toward Tang Xiu and whispered, "Boss, it's about 450 meters in the 4 o 'clock direction. It's the Qingcheng Monastery's people. We've observed him. He's alone and he's hiding in the bushes over there to rest. "
"Where did he come from?" asked Tan Xiu with a frown.
"From Qinglin County. It looks like he's heading to Qingcheng Monastery," said Xue Sha.
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then said, "You two stay here and protect Zhang Xinyue. I'll follow him later to see what he wants to do. "
"Will it be dangerous, Boss?" asked Xue Sha worriedly.
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I'll immediately flee if I encounter Dao Master Poison before Awu comes back. Don't worry! It won't be easy for Dao Master Poison to kill me as long as he doesn't use poison. "
Ten minutes later.
Tan Xiu secretly tailed the Qingcheng Monastery expert, who had already rested, and quietly rushed toward the direction of Qingcheng Monastery's residence. After several hours of hurrying, he finally appeared near the Daoist temple that had stopped burning. The Qingcheng Monastery man hid in the dark and observed for a while before he came out of the bushes. He knelt in front of the ruins of the Daoist temple and kowtowed a few times before rushing to the north.
His movements were very light and vigilant. From time to time, he observed the movements in the surroundings. After coming to the ruins of the collapsed tallest building, he dashed toward the northwest and appeared in another courtyard half a minute later.
After tailing him, Tan Xiu watched the Qingcheng Monastery man enter a side room. He released his spiritual sense and was surprised to see that the man was holding a one-meter-tall celadon vase with both hands and forcefully turning it. The originally tightly stitched wall slowly split open, revealing a spacious staircase leading downwards.
Tan Xiu closely followed him. As the man went further down the staircase and the wall was about to close, Tan Xiu instantly rushed inside.
"Wang Feng."
Several voices quickly came, followed by several figures appearing in front of the man.
Tears overflowed from the eyes of the man called Wang Feng. He looked at the several men in front of him and hugged each of them. Then, he bitterly said, "Our Qingcheng Monastery is done for. Of the sixty-four people who were left on the surface, only eight survived. For the sake of unnecessary sacrifices, the Monastery Master didn't let us open this dungeon or let you out. "
A middle-aged man hurriedly asked, "How is the Monastery Master?"
"The Monastery Master is fine, but the Deputy Monastery Master is dead," said Wang Feng. "I came back this time under the Monastery Master's order to quietly take you out and then escape as fast as possible."
The middle-aged men were silent for a while. One of them slowly took out a bunch of keys and said, "I'm going to open the dungeon's door. We can't let them die here even if they made mistakes before. "
"Understood!"
They nodded silently.
A few minutes later.
As the doors of the six cells were opened, six men and women of the Qingcheng Monastery who had committed mistakes and were imprisoned here quickly came out. Among them, the fastest one was a young man.
"Wang Rui?"
Tan Xiu hid in the corner of the staircase, but his spiritual sense could clearly see that the young man was Wang Rui.
Wang Rui quickly ran to the front of them and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation up there? Has the enemy retreated? "
"They haven't left yet, but they've been searching for our Qingcheng Monastery's people in the vicinity of Qingcheng Mountain," said Wang Feng bitterly. Including me, only eight of those who remained up there survived. The Monastery Master ordered all the Qingcheng Monastery's survivors to seize the time to escape. "
Wang Rui's pupils shrunk. He suddenly grabbed the man's arms and asked, "What about my father? Where is he? "
Wang Feng's expression turned dark as he said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Wang Rui. When the Deputy Monastery Master fled to Qinglin County, the enemy caught up with him. He … passed away. "
"What?"
Wang Rui's body trembled and he was petrified on the spot.
