Master, you go first!

Guan Yuliangyu responded, and then turned into a ball of black smoke, trapping Gu Jiu and Gu Jiu. However, on the ground that no one noticed, there was still a small wisp of black smoke rushing towards the altar owner.

While the altar owner was still laughing and intoxicated in the dream of his achievements, the wisp of black smoke on the ground had already flown behind him.

The black smoke quietly formed a figure.

With a "Puch" sound, a black short blade penetrated the heart of the Demon Sect Altar Master.

His laughter stopped suddenly and he turned his head with difficulty.

"you……"

"No need to struggle, the last thing you should think about is touching what I care about." Guan Yuliang smiled evilly, and appeared behind the altar master with a solid figure.

The altar owner wanted to fight back, but found that he could not move at all. His life was passing rapidly, and his soul was also passing away. He was extremely surprised. Logically speaking, the Danjie monks did not have the ability to make him lose his resistance.

"Have you ever heard of the life weapon, the heart-locking soul blade?" Guan Yuliang said calmly.

The altar owner was so heartbroken that he wanted to turn into a baby and escape, but found that he couldn't.

"Don't say it's the Nascent Soul. Even if the Avatar is hit in the heart, it won't be able to escape. It's your soul that's being attacked." Guan Yuliang continued to educate him lightly.

At this time, the black smoke that surrounded Gu Jiu and Shen Nian dissipated, and the two of them saw the scene in front of them in disbelief. Gu Jiu was surprised that Guan Yuliang would backstab someone from the Demon Sect, so what was his position?

The life and soul of the Demon Sect Altar Master passed quickly. At this time, his face was pale and it was difficult to even speak, like a twilight old man. Within a moment, the whole person turned into flying ash, drifting away like a wisp of white smoke.

Guan Yuliang spoke to Shen Nian,

"Junior sister Shen, come with me. It's not safe for you to stay in the sect."

Shen Nian was confused. What was going on? She shook her head blankly, completely confused about the situation.

Guan Yuliang continued,

"I won't hurt you. Maybe everyone in the world says that demon cultivators are unforgivable sins, but I have never hurt a mortal, so naturally I won't hurt you. I'll take you to a safe place."

"Before I met you, I lived in a state of confusion, just being a chess piece at the mercy of others. It wasn't until you appeared that I knew I had something worth pursuing in my life."

"If you stay in the sect, the demon sect will not give up. You are their target. If nothing else, they will capture you and sacrifice you to achieve the sect master's goal. I don't know the specific purpose, but it is very dangerous."

Guan Yuliang spoke word by word, his expression was sincere and not artificial.

At this time, Ji Chuxue and Yuan Lao arrived, and met the dozen or so pill-forming demon cultivators on the way, and it took them a while to solve them.

Seeing that only Shen Nian, Gu Jiu and Guan Yuliang were left in the scene, and they seemed not to take action, they also fell down.

Seeing the change in Guan Yuliang's appearance, Ji Chuxue frowned slightly, but she did not act impulsively before clarifying the situation.

"Junior sister, come with me." Guan Yuliang spoke to Shen Nian again.

Shen Nian still shook her head at a loss. Her mind was blank now. What Guan Yuliang said just now gave her a big impact. How could she become the target of the Demon Sect for no reason.

Guan Yuliang sighed, turned around and saluted Ji Chuxue and Mr. Yuan.

"Please two of you, please protect Junior Sister Shen."

After saying that, he turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.

In fact, Guan Yuliang did not lie. Although he became a spy of the Demon Sect, his opportunities were different from other Demon Sect disciples.

He was in a place like the altar that Ji Chuxue had discovered before. The demon cultivator who was recognized by the altar got the opportunity directly from the altar to obtain the heart-locking soul blade and the magic power of absorbing souls.

His nature is not murderous, just a little indifferent. The souls he uses for practice are the remnant souls left behind after other demon cultivators massacred mortals and took away their blood.

He left in a hurry, first because he was afraid that the two Nascent Souls of the sect would take action. After all, in the righteous way, demon cultivators would be beaten and killed. The second is that he has just killed the altar master and needs to refine his soul in time, otherwise the Nascent Soul's soul is too strong and may escape over time.

"What's going on?" Ji Chuxue asked.

"Let's talk after we return to the sect." Gu Jiu composed himself. He had probably figured out the context of the matter, and it was not advisable to stay here for a long time.

"Then leave quickly."

Ji Chuxue and Mr. Yuan rushed to the sect with the two of them as quickly as possible. On the way, I met Lu Qian and the two of them, and they stopped and headed back together.

Back at the sect, Gu Jiu told several elders what had happened along the way, and everyone looked solemn.

First, Lu Qian didn't know that Guan Yuliang was a chess piece of the Demon Sect. He had a good impression of him before and thought he was a talent that could be made.

Secondly, I still have no clue as to why the people from the Demon Sect were targeting Shen Nian. But Gu Jiu thought it might be her physical condition or her spiritual fire. I really can't think of any other reasons.

For now, at least the sect is protected by a large formation, so it is relatively safe. I'm afraid that the Demon Sect even has experts who can refine the void. Of course, I haven't heard of any sect that has a practitioner who can refine the void.

In the end, everyone agreed that Shen Nian could not leave the sect for the time being. At the same time, it was also necessary to clean up the hidden demon sect spies in the sect.

These things were no longer Gu Jiu's business, so Gu Jiu returned to Danfeng with Shen Nian, who was still in a low mood.

Ji Chuxue and other elders summoned some trustworthy personnel from the Deacon Hall to hold an internal meeting to discuss how to find out about the Demon Sect's spies.

Gu Jiu returned to Danfeng, and Lao Xu was a little surprised. He didn't expect them to come back from the secret realm so quickly. Lao Xu was originally very happy to see the two treasures back, but after hearing Gu Jiu tell him what happened earlier, he felt heavy for a moment.

"Master, don't worry too much. Maybe there are no strong Void Practitioners nowadays. You can still be safe in the sect." Gu Jiu comforted.

"I hope so." Old Xu, who was like an old father, didn't want anything to happen to Shen Nian the last thing.

"Okay Master, I have obtained the Nine Ghost Fire. After refining it, I can help my ancestor overcome the calamity. By then, our sect will also have a god-transforming monk."

Gu Jiu grinned and took out the spiritual fire to show to Lao Xu.

The blue-purple firelight jumped and flickered, and Old Xu smiled slightly with relief when he saw it.

"That's very good. Then hurry up and refine it."

When I was looking for Lao Xu, I was in the alchemy room. At this time, I happened to be refining the spiritual fire in the alchemy room.

It took Gu Jiu a day to successfully refine the Nine Ghost Fire. To his surprise, the refining process went very smoothly. Perhaps it had something to do with the dark attributes he gained after forming the elixir. Now, he is also an alchemist with spiritual fire.

After refining the spiritual fire, Gu Jiu started preparing the lightning protection formation. At the same time, Lao Xu also began to try to refine the seventh-grade Juyuan Pill.
