ortunately, all ended in failure. Some Taoists even lost their lives. Despite these families repeatedly increasing the reward, now reaching ten thousand taels of silver, no one dares to show up."Lo Hu...Zhang was being flirted with, but he just shyly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, not daring to look at Honglian. He felt that her beauty was too aggressive, making him unable to meet her gaze.

"Cough, Happy birthday to Master Honglian!"

Zhang Zhan could only say in a somewhat embarrassed, low voice.

What about the gift

Hong Lian was not a polite person. She directly stretched out her hand in front of Zhang Chang's face.

"Master Honglian, I'm so sorry! I came in a hurry today and didn't know it was your birthday. Can I make up for the gift later"

Zhang Zhuang's face was a bit red, but he still replied seriously.

"This is what you said, don't forget it!"

Honglian was satisfied with Zhangzhang's answer, and this she withdrew her hand.

"Okay, stop teasing Officer Xia. Come over and help take a look. You can't just accept gifts for nothing."

Ripple spoke directly.

She had already taken the manila envelope from Wu Yong's hands and started looking through the thick stack of documents inside. When Hong Lian arrived, she directly separated a portion and handed it to her.

Only then did Zhang Zhàng relax and began to rack his brains about what gift to give Master Hong Lian. Meanwhile, Wu Yong glanced at Xiao Zhang and calmly took a sip of the plain water before him, waiting silently for the results of the two masters' examination.

An hour later, Ripples and Red Glaze simultaneously put down their documents and looked at each other.

Ripples' eyes were calm, while Honglian's were filled with surprise mixed with a hint of anger. She snorted coldly and said:

"This place is truly desolate, demons running rampant!"

"How about it Team up with me this time, there are quite a few places to go, and I can't cover them all by myself."

Ripples turned her head and asked Honglian.

Do you want to take action tonight

"Yes, the longer it drags on, the more trouble it becomes."

"Couldn't you ask a few more friends for help"

Hong Lian frowned and asked.

"The Mage Guild has people willing to help the Feng family, and the special punishment from a month ago couldn't be carried out."

"You didn't try to force it, did you!"

Hong Lian's phoenix eyes turned, looking at Lian Yi and asking.

"No, it was Liang Gang who spoke. He's my master's brother after all, I have to give him face. Besides, at the time there weren't any conditions for implementing punishment."

Ripple sneered, a mocking gleam in her eyes.

"Alright! Since you've opened your mouth, I'll begrudgingly help you."

"That's thanks to Master Honglian then. When the time comes, I'll have Xiao Zhang drive you and be responsible for your protection."

With a ripple of laughter, she teased.

Hóngliǎn nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

In a while, the party will end, and I'll take him away from the club. No one will suspect his identity.

"Alright, I'll do it your way."

With Wu Yong and Zhang Fei present, the two finalized their itinerary for the coming days. Lian Yi and Hong Lian each selected five locations from the ten given, carefully arranging their order of visits.

“I will first bury the Po-Jen Jade Talisman, and then the two of us will simultaneously activate the ten locations' formations. If we break them one by one, it will alert the people who set up the formation, and destroying only one sacrificial formation will cause the other interconnected formations to quickly replenish themselves. That way, what we do will be meaningless.”

Hong Lian analyzed very calmly.

"Well, you think the same way I do, that's why I asked you to help. After we've made our preparations, we'll meet at this plaza. That way we can strike simultaneously."

R ripples pointed to a spot on the map and said directly.

No problem.

After they had made their plans, they finally looked up at the two people who were quietly waiting.

"Are you guys alright!"

"No!"

That's great! Come with us for a walk first.

Hong Lian smiled and beckoned to Zhang Zhan with her finger. Zhang Zhan immediately turned his head to look at Wu Yong, receiving permission before he hesitantly stood up.

Honglian stood up, taking Zhangzhang's arm and winking at Lianyi before gracefully making her way to the ballroom.

"Let's also go for a walk, so we don't arouse anyone's suspicion."

Ripple smiled and said.

Without his sunglasses, Wu Yong's eyes were a bit too sharp. However, he knew the plan couldn't fail. He nodded and gathered all the files on the table before leaving the room shoulder to shoulder with Ripples.

At one o'clock in the morning, the birthday party finally came to an end. Everyone gradually left, and Honglian was completely supported by Zhang Zhang as she got into the car and drove away.

"The red fox snatched a little lamb today, I guess it's going back to savor it slowly."

Watching the red-stained person leave, he jokingly said.

"That young master looked so delicate and tender, I wonder if he could handle any roughhousing."

The people beside him also chimed in with laughter.

Then these people stumbled to their cars and drove away from the club.

Ripples walked with Wuyong's arm, slowly heading to the open-air parking lot.

When you came here, didn't you have tails

"Miss Ripple, please be assured, absolutely not."

"That's good."

The valiant gentleman opened the borrowed luxury car, a facade of ostentatiousness, to escort Ripples into it. After she was seated, he scurried in himself, and the car roared to life, disappearing into the darkness.

The ripples moved quickly, and upon reaching each location, it would release a wisp of evil with its dagger, which would linger on the sacrificial formation without triggering anything. Then, it would swiftly move to the next spot.

After everything was set up in the five locations, she told Wu Yong to drive to the agreed-upon plaza to meet Honglian. But halfway there, Lianyi suddenly told him to stop the car.

"Master Wu, is there something the matter"

Wu Yong asked in a low voice.

"Just a moment, please."

The ripples stopped the other party from continuing to ask, but instead grasped the evil weapon dagger in her hand and slowly sensed it. Someone was actually refining the evil energy she had released, coming from one of the five places.

Three minutes later, ripples spoke:

"Please turn back to that golf course we were at earlier."

Okay.

Wu Yong didn't ask any further questions, he simply turned the car around and headed back the way they came.

Ripples, using Wu Yong's special phone, called Zhang Zhuang. As soon as the call connected, she directly said:

"Let Honglian answer the phone."

“It’s me, what’s wrong”

A crimson-tinged voice echoed through the phone.

"I've already set everything up here, but someone is messing with my decorations. I'm going back to check it out. What about you"

"I'm heading to the last place now, everything else is set up."

"Then be careful, if anyone here finds out, they'll check on you too."

It seems I'll have to rely on luck. I wonder which sorcerer set up such a depraved and wicked sacrificial formation.

"Not necessarily a sorcerer, just be careful yourself."

Ripple reminded.

Hóng Liàn's pupils constricted upon hearing this, and she immediately realized what it meant. She then said:

"You too!"

Both of them hung up the phone at the same time.

"Won't that be tricky"

Wǔ Yǒng sank his voice and asked.

> I didn't know until I saw it.

Ripples toyed with the dagger in his hand, his face cold as he spoke.

With his exceptional driving skills, Wu Yong drove at a racing speed, reaching the golf course in just fifteen minutes.

"Wait for me here."

Ripple got out of the car and stopped Wu Yong from following.

"Okay, if you need military support, just call me."n hospital through mage means. After conducting a thorough investigation using mage techniques, they confirmed that Jade Biyao had indeed violated the regulations of the Mage Association, causing ordi...
