The next moment, the sound of ebbing tide came from beneath my feet.

Looking down, I saw that the flame lotus in the lake seemed to have lost its target and was slowly sinking into the lake. The strange power that had previously interfered with the escape of light disappeared, and the power of the flames that was originally a heat wave also dissipated.

In just a moment, the entire flame world returned to tranquility, no fighting, no restraint...

Only a few sparks were still scattered in the air, seeming to tell the two of them that what they had just experienced was not an illusion...

Liang Yan and the woman in black breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Although the process from the lake to the golden stairs was extremely short, only a few dozen breaths in total, in the eyes of the two of them, it seemed like thousands of years had passed.

In this short period of time, almost all their energy was exhausted.

It was only then that the danger receded, and the two of them realized that they had been sweating profusely without even realizing it. A feeling of weakness and exhaustion came to them, causing them to sit on the ground in unison.

"Did we...pass the assessment?"

Liang Yan glanced at the flaming lake below, and there was still a lingering feeling in his heart.

The woman in black didn't answer his question, her dark eyes flickering. Although she was sitting next to him, her eyes drifted to the other side, and there was still a faint blush on her face.

"Fellow Daoist Youyue, what's wrong with you?"

This was the first time Liang Yan called her name, because he felt that something was wrong with this woman's mood.

"No...it's nothing."

A trace of panic flashed in the woman's eyes.

She turned her head to one side, but her voice was very calm, and she asked softly: "You could have left just now...why did you save me?"

"Fellow Taoist Youyue is joking, you and I are already allies, how could I abandon you? Besides, I know nothing about this place, and I will need more guidance from fellow Taoist in the future." Liang Yan said sincerely.

After hearing this, the woman in black sat beside him and remained silent.

Liang Yan didn't know what to say, so he just meditated and exercised beside him to recover the spiritual power he had just consumed.

The two were speechless for a while.

After a while, the woman in black turned her head and her expression returned to normal.

She did not look at Liang Yan, her red lips parted slightly, and asked: "The magic weapon you used to save me just now seems familiar to me. Is it 'Red Dust'?"

After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.

The other party was right, this red silk magic weapon was indeed called "Red Dust", but why did she know the name?

Could it be that......

Liang Yan's heart stirred, and he suddenly remembered that after he killed Fox Thirteen, he got a music book from the opponent, called "Qingxin Triple Dance Fetus Immortal".

This skill is extremely mysterious and is a method that can lead to becoming a saint. Hu Shisan should not possess it due to his cultivation level. Could it be related to Yuzhu Mountain?

Thinking of this, Liang Yan felt wary in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

"It is indeed 'Red Dust'. How do fellow Taoists know the name of this magic weapon?"

After hearing this, the woman in black sighed softly and said: "The owner of 'Red Dust' was originally my apprentice. She was extremely talented, but it was a pity that she had a bad temperament and was not valued by me. In the end, she was jealous and resentful, and she committed a treasonous act."

He betrayed the sect."

After hearing this, Liang Yan probably guessed something in his mind.

I'm afraid that this "heavy and unethical thing" is to steal the sage's skill "Qingxin Triple Dance Fetus Immortal" from Yuzhu Mountain, right? Otherwise, how could Fox Thirteen have such a powerful skill with his cultivation level?

Now, Hu Shisan is dead, and the skill is in his storage ring. Liang Yan doesn't know whether he should tell him clearly or not.

While thinking about it, the woman in black spoke again: "Since 'Red Dust' is in your hands, that means she is dead, right?"

"Um."

Liang Yan did not deny it.

The woman in black nodded, her expression unchanged, and said leisurely: "The disciple betrayed the sect, and I, the master, cannot escape the blame. Originally, I wanted to clean up the sect myself, but now it's okay. I'm afraid that I will show my true face.

When I deal with her, I won’t be able to do anything..."

Having said this, he paused and then said: "But, can you give me this red damask? I want to keep it in my mind for the master-disciple meeting."

"Here you go."
