Under the cloak of the black night, the firmament was blanketed in silence.
In the courtyard, Long Yan debated how to meet Bai Ling. He considered numerous strategies, but none of them seemed prudent in their current location— the Demon God Emperor Palace.
"Is Sect Leader Long there?"
Suddenly, a soft and cautious voice echoed from outside the courtyard.
Long Yan followed the direction of the sound, spotting a girl clad in a red dress standing just beyond the courtyard. She was on high alert, her gaze vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
"I am Long Yan, who are you?"
Long Yan moved forward, scrutinizing the red-dressed maiden as he softly spoke.
He had an inkling about the purpose of her visit—it probably had something to do with Bai Ling.
"Are you really Sect Leader Long?"
The red-dressed maiden was called Hong Yun. She looked at Long Yan, her gaze becoming somewhat dazed, evidencing her astonishment.
