Night Charm got out of the car and returned to her own. The two cars, one in front of the other, soon arrived at the entrance of Long Nian's villa at the foot of Xishan Mountain.
Long Xiao didn't get out of the car. He honked the horn, and the villa guard, seeing it was Long Xiao in the car, quickly opened the main gate.
The two drove directly into the villa and parked in the parking lot in front of the main building.
Long Xiao got out of the car and casually scattered the roasted soybeans he was holding in both hands onto the ground.
Night Charm saw Long Xiao's small gesture and felt very strange, but she didn't ask him why he did it.
Before the two had even left the parking lot, Long Xiao saw bursts of white mist rising from the surrounding bushes.
Although Donghai is located by the coast and by a large river, it is relatively humid. However, it shouldn't be foggy at this time of year, so it was clear that someone had tampered with it.
Long Xiao was a little worried about Night Charm following behind him, so he stopped.
"Why aren't you walking anymore?" Night Charm walked up to Long Xiao and asked.
Long Xiao reached out and grabbed Night Charm's hand. Night Charm struggled but couldn't break free. She said, "What are you doing? Let go quickly."
The gentle, large hand made Night Charm's heart beat faster. Although she was almost thirty, due to her special identity as an assassin and her years of studying poisons, she had never married and had little contact with boys.
"No, you'll easily get lost by yourself."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How could I get lost?"
"Look around," Long Xiao said.
Night Charm looked around and found that the surrounding scene had completely changed. The main building was gone, the bushes were gone, and there was a vast desert around them, with nothing but yellow sand.
"What do you see?" Long Xiao asked.
"A boundless desert, all yellow sand, with nothing else."
"We see different things. Don't let go of my hand, or you won't be able to find me."
Night Charm looked at Long Xiao. She felt like Long Xiao was a transparent person, and he was constantly shaking. It seemed that if she let go, Long Xiao would immediately disappear.
This was the first time Night Charm had seen such a situation. She held Long Xiao's hand tightly, afraid that if she let go, Long Xiao would disappear.
Long Xiao felt Night Charm's palms sweating and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, just follow me."
As the two walked a few steps forward, Long Xiao saw patches of red mist spreading towards them.
Long Xiao took out a pill and handed it to Night Charm, saying, "The mist is poisonous. Put the pill in your mouth."
Night Charm took the pill and looked at it. She hesitated for a moment and said, "You're not going to poison me, are you?"
"Use your brain. You're my helper, why would I poison you?"
After putting the pill in her mouth, Night Charm felt a coolness and her mind cleared up a lot. She also saw the red mist spreading towards them.
"Someone is using Gu," Night Charm said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, these Gu worms can't get close to us."
Soon, the red mist enveloped Long Xiao and Night Charm. Long Xiao dispersed his five elements aura, and a crackling sound came from the red mist as countless Gu worms were crushed by the five elements aura.
The 'Crimson Flame Worm' crawled out of Long Xiao's clothes, took a deep breath, and a patch of red mist entered its mouth.
Squeak, squeak, the 'Crimson Flame Worm' let out a happy cry, as if it was enjoying itself.
"What is this thing? It's eating Gu worms," Night Charm asked in surprise, seeing the 'Crimson Flame Worm' on Long Xiao's shoulder.
"This is my 'Crimson Flame Worm,' it likes Yin Sha energy."
Long Xiao and Night Charm kept walking forward and didn't get lost. The red mist had no effect on them.
Long Nian, standing in front of the main building, turned to look at Lan Yue and Miao Tian beside him and said, "The formation and the Gu worms seem to be ineffective."
Lan Yue took out a talisman from her pocket again, chanted something, and threw it out.
Heavy footsteps appeared, and with bursts of black mist, a dozen soldiers holding long swords appeared in the bushes and walked towards Long Xiao and Night Charm.
Seeing the dozen soldiers, Night Charm was so scared that she hid behind Long Xiao, grabbed his shoulder, and said, "What the heck is this?"
"Have you heard of scattering beans to create soldiers?"
Night Charm nodded and said, "Legend has it that scattering beans to create soldiers is a powerful sorcery."
"This is called the Paper Figure Technique. It's the same principle as scattering beans to create soldiers, and it's not difficult to break."
Night Charm's specialty was poison. These were paper figures, and they were not afraid of poison at all. She was worried that she couldn't win in a head-on fight.
Long Xiao took out a prepared talisman from his pocket and said, "Here, light one."
The 'Crimson Flame Worm' extended its wings and touched the talisman, which ignited with a 'poof.'
Long Xiao shook the talisman in his hand and threw it out. Then, he quickly took out more than a dozen soybeans from his pocket and threw them out.
The soybeans spun around the talisman. When the talisman had completely burned and turned into black ash on the ground, the soybeans shot towards the paper figures with a whistling sound.
Puff, puff, puff, ten soldiers were shot through by the soybeans. The soybeans entered the paper figures and exploded with a bang, shattering their chests and setting them on fire from the inside out.
Lan Yue felt a sharp pain in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Night Charm saw the desert around them begin to shake and gradually disappear, and the main building and bushes reappeared.
Miao Tian waved his hands towards Long Xiao, and countless black dots flew towards Long Xiao and Night Charm.
"Go."
Long Xiao pulled Night Charm and used the 'Chi Mei Xiao Yao Step' to dodge the incoming black dots and quickly approach the main building.
Seeing Long Xiao approaching, Long Nian stepped back and said, "Useless, can't even stop a Long Xiao." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Old Zhan, it's your turn, they're no match," Pei Yuquan said.
Zhan Tianhai nodded, walked down the steps, and walked towards Long Xiao.
Long Xiao took out the poison he had refined that afternoon, quietly stuffed it into Night Charm's hand, and whispered, "Use my medicine. It's colorless and tasteless, and very effective."
Night Charm took the pill and put it away. Then, she let go of Long Xiao's hand and slowly retreated, making way for Zhan Tianhai.
Zhan Tianhai slowly walked up to Long Xiao and stopped about three meters away from him. He said, "Long Xiao, choose how you want to die."
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Old man, you have a big mouth. Are all Pei family members this shameless?"
"Hmph, showing off your wit. I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."
Just as Long Xiao was about to make a move, he heard a bang from behind. The villa gate was smashed open by an off-road vehicle, and four Tank 600s drove into the villa, followed by several Hummers.
The car doors opened, and dozens of fully armed men in uniform jumped out of the cars and quickly surrounded everyone in the villa.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my villa?" Long Nian asked sternly.
A stretched business car slowly drove into the villa and stopped. Two young bodyguards got out, opened the car door, and an old man with white hair got out of the car.
"Elder Cui, why is he here?" Long Jiutian exclaimed in surprise when he saw the old man, and quickly retreated back into the main villa.
Long Xiao also looked at the old man in surprise, not knowing whether this old man and these men in uniform were friends or foes.
Elder Cui walked up to Long Xiao with a smile and said, "Long Xiao, you don't recognize me? Heh heh, I heard you were in trouble, so I came to see."
Just as Long Nian was about to speak, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Long Jiutian's call. He looked around and realized that Long Jiutian was gone.
"Dad, what's going on?" Long Nian asked.
"Don't speak, listen to me. Hurry and leave with our people. That old fellow is Elder Cui, the Long family's agent in Donghai. He has a very high status in the Long family, and even Long Xueying has to give him face."
