This is a silhouette, like a Heavenly God fallen.

Dongfang Qing suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"Five-word chessboard formation."

As soon as the words fell.

A golden chessboard descended from the sky, shining with golden light, as the two attempted to flee.

However, Dongfang Qing’s strength far surpassed theirs, and the powerful suppression rendered them immobile.

In an instant, the golden chessboard surrounded them.

This chessboard seemed no different from a regular five-piece chess, except the lines were pale gold.

The golden lines emanated terrifying energy.

Both, trapped within the chessboard, revealed expressions of panic.

Originally, Dongfang Qing’s suppression only made them unable to move.

Yet now, even without Dongfang Qing’s suppression, they dared not take a single step.

"Miss Qin, stand here, do not move; once you touch these chess lines, you will pass out."

Wuyou Zi quickly warned.

His expression became alert, his deep eyes fixed on Dongfang Qing.

While Qin Qi felt quite agitated.

Unexpectedly, not only failing to uproot the dragon vein but also trapped within.

Time and again falling into Dongfang Qing’s hands.

This made her terribly embarrassed; after all, she was Qin Tianba’s daughter, proud from childhood.

"Dongfang Qing, now this princess is trapped by you, you may kill me or do as you please."

Qin Qi remained steadfast.

She glared angrily at Dongfang Qing.

However, this was just the anger she showed on the surface; it wasn’t her first time encountering such a predicament.

Each time, she had managed to escape by her cleverness.

After a brief panic, her expression returned to normal.

And she quietly took out the Li Huo Divine Mirror she held.

This was her final card, the Li Huo Divine Bird within it held power comparable to a Semi-Saint.

If Dongfang Qing dared to act recklessly, he would surely not walk away unscathed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Dongfang Qing’s cultivation technique had a time limit; if more than half an hour passed, it would lose its power.

Thus, he must deal with them within half an hour.

Dongfang Qing, like the master of this chessboard, could move freely within it, and his attack power and speed could be greatly enhanced.

Upon hearing their commotion, Dongfang Qing remained calm and turned to leave.

His expression was leisurely as he departed.

The two were left bewildered.

"We’re both trapped here, this is the best opportunity to kill us, why would Dongfang Qing give up this rare chance?"

Qin Qi was puzzled.

Could it be that Dongfang Qing had truly fallen in love with her?

Thus this time he just intended to teach her a lesson.

Thinking of this, her heart felt somewhat moved.

But she was blinded by power, how could she be moved by Dongfang Qing?

If she could escape, she would certainly not spare Dongfang Qing.

Wuyou Zi was equally baffled by Dongfang Qing’s intentions.

As a fortune teller, he had seen countless people, able to glimpse others’ thoughts.

Many fortune tellers actually lacked any ability, relying entirely on schemes and deception.

Initially, he was such a person, quite perceptive of human psychology.

Dongfang Qing’s departure gradually lowered their guard.

The next second.

Just as Dongfang Qing vanished, he suddenly appeared in the formation.

With a slap, he struck Qin Qi across her cheek.

Dongfang Qing’s strength was superior, this slap carried formidable energy.

A single slap could kill an ox.

Qin Qi was directly sent flying by this sudden slap, her delicate body crashing heavily against the death line.

Promptly, she fainted.

The Li Huo Divine Mirror she held dropped to the ground.

Hearing the mirror fall to the ground.

Dongfang Qing smiled slightly, this Qin Qi’s mind was indeed clever.

If he had acted impulsively and rashly entered the formation, he might have been hurt by the Li Huo Divine Mirror.

With a flick of his hand, the Li Huo Divine Mirror on the ground fell into his grasp.

Meanwhile, Wuyou Zi, stuck within the chessboard, was immobilized, and could only watch as Dongfang Qing took the Li Huo Divine Mirror away.

Qin Qi was now unconscious on the ground, her cheek quickly swelling, bearing finger marks of bright red.

Dongfang Qing turned his gaze towards Wuyou Zi.

Wuyou Zi looked ashen, having anticipated this outcome.

"You may kill me or do as you please."

Wuyou Zi likewise spoke fiercely.

"You’ve also had it hard, possessing profound wisdom, fortune telling like a god, mastering feng shui."

Dongfang Qing glanced at Wuyou Zi and sighed.

Why do people in this world so waste their lives?

He couldn’t understand why someone as intelligent as Wuyou Zi would do such foolish things.

Wuyou Zi’s body shook.

Originally, he thought Dongfang Qing would simply end his life; unexpectedly, he spoke such words.

This indeed surprised him.

He developed some admiration for Dongfang Qing in front of him.

Wuyou Zi also let out a long sigh.

"Who can remain rational in the Red Dust world?"

Indeed, Wuyou Zi used to be exceptionally wise.

But for Pei Junhong, he was willing to take risks.

Just then, a charming figure appeared above the formation.

It was Pei Junhong.

After suffering backlash from the Red Dust Book, she realized that Wuyou Zi and Qin Qi’s plan would inevitably fail.

Both were of great importance to her.

Thus she had to come and rescue them.

Pei Junhong descended like a goddess outside the formation.

Wuyou Zi, seeing Pei Junhong, let out a long breath.

After so many years, Pei Junhong remained as beautiful as ever.

To see her once before dying, he had no regrets.

"Pei Junhong, to see you before I die, is wonderful."

A hint of a smile appeared at Wuyou Zi’s lips.

The smile was so innocent.

Yet Pei Junhong ignored Wuyou Zi completely.

She had always looked down upon Wuyou Zi.

Not for anything else, but because Wuyou Zi was too short.

Wuyou Zi was only 1.7 meters tall, while Pei Junhong preferred tall men, at least 2.4 meters.

Moreover, Pei Junhong was quite tall herself, a head taller than Wuyou Zi.

Her gaze fell on the unconscious Qin Qi on the ground.

Then she turned, looking at Dongfang Qing, respectfully said.

"Dongfang Qing, I am willing to exchange my life for Qin Qi’s."

"You let Qin Qi go, I stay behind, you can do whatever you want with me."

Pei Junhong was extremely sincere.

Dongfang Qing, hearing this, showed a difficult expression; letting Qin Qi go would certainly become a future trouble.

She would surely come again to create disturbance.

"Pei Junhong, you are the master of Red Dust Residence, managing the world’s romances, how could you replace her?"

Dongfang Qing asked.

Pei Junhong heard him, a tranquil smile appeared.

"This matter doesn’t need you, Zuo Sect Leader, to worry about; I have found someone to replace me in Red Dust Residence."

Before coming here, Pei Junhong had already handed over Red Dust Residence’s duties to her disciple, Huang Yun.

She hadn’t planned to return after this visit.

Thousands of years in Red Dust Residence, she had had enough of such a life.

Dongfang Qing, upon hearing this, frowned slightly.

"I can let Qin Qi go, but I must erase her past memories."

In Dongfang Qing’s view, only by erasing her memory.

So that Qin Qi would no longer make things difficult for Tianyong Mountain in the future.
