Beneath them, Sun Fenglin lay pinned under Blue Caire's oppressive aura, his struggle futile against her overwhelming strength. The golden corpse gu was mere inches from its target.
"I know," Yun Yantian said, his voice calm yet laced with steel.
His gaze sharpened as he watched the scene below. Despite his earlier composure, he couldn't deny that the situation had grown precarious.
Blue Caire's laughter rang out, sweet yet sinister.
"You're right to call for help," she said, her scarlet eyes gleaming with amusement as she glanced up at the ridge.
"Come on, little hiding rats. Show yourselves. Let me see what other treasures you've brought me to play with."
Her words, paired with her mocking smile, were calculated to provoke.
With a sigh, Yun Yantian stood, his movements deliberate.
"Stay here," he instructed Yun Yanshuang softly.
"Brother—!"
