As time went by, the major sects swept the cave inside and out, clearing out all the monsters in the stone chamber...

When he walked out of the underground devil's cave, Pei Yun not only saw that the disciples from various sects had been rescued and gathered at the assembly point, but he also saw Luo Rufeng and senior elders from various sects, who were sitting together discussing matters.

Luo Rufeng silently listened to the conversation between Ling Zongyang and the elder of Yuejian Sect beside him. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he turned his head and met the pair of sparkling eyes as if he had telepathy. Seeing that the person was safe and sound, his serious face softened instantly. He nodded to her, and a gentle smile unconsciously flashed across his eyes...

Seeing that Luo Rufeng was in the same condition as usual and did not look like he was injured, Pei Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

After a whole day of discussion, and confirming that there were no more traces of the demons in Yunhuang Mountain, each faction decided to set off and return to their own sect.

Pei Yun knew that after this incident, the ten major sects would definitely have to conduct a major purge. When she was chatting and inquiring with disciples from other sects in Yunhuang Mountain, she found that the number of spies planted by the demons in the sects was far beyond their imagination, and some even the elders had fallen into them.

Of course, she also didn't believe that their Yunshan Sect only had Li Ming and other demon spies. This incident was just a trigger. After unraveling the mystery, it might bring about many changes within the Yunshan Sect.

However, these had nothing to do with Pei Yun. After returning to the sect, she practiced while trying to find out the outcome of the treatment of Pei Ruoqi and Hengnan.

After returning from Yunhuang Mountain, for more than three months, the sect interrogated the disciples and elders of each peak in order to find out the spies of the demon clan.

Even Pei Yun was called to the Zhengfa Hall for questioning. However, as the greatest contributor in several battles with the demons, it was even because of Pei Yun's advance warning that the various factions in Yunhuang Mountain did not fall into the trap of the demons. So if we were to say who is the least likely to be a spy for the demons, it would undoubtedly be Pei Yun.

Elder Li simply asked a few questions and let her leave.

This major reorganization caused many disciples of the Yunshan Sect to panic and become cautious in their actions.

That day, Luo Rufeng sent her a message, saying that he had already decided on the treatment of Pei Ruoqi and Hengnan. If she wanted to see it with her own eyes, she could go to the Criminal Cliff with him.

Without saying anything, Pei Yun immediately put down his cultivation and came to Lingjian Peak eagerly...

On the way to Xingya, Pei Yun asked about their situation in dealing with the demons. Before that, Luo Rufeng had been busy assisting the Zhengfa Hall in identifying demon spies, so she was embarrassed to disturb him.

"...The demons have made a big move this time, sending thousands of demon soldiers to besiege us, and they are all very powerful..."

"With so many demon beasts and demon soldiers, there is no news of any movement in Yunhuang Mountain? If it weren't for the spy from Yanling Sect who exposed himself, no one in the Taoist sect would have noticed..."

Pei Yun felt incredible. Yunhuang Mountain was not a remote place. It was not far from several sects of the Yunshan School of the Yanling Sect, but he did not find anything unusual.

"Do you still remember that altar? It's the altar in the Fushan Demon Cave!"

"...Are you saying that these magic beasts and magic soldiers were teleported here directly by the altar?"

"I guess we found an abandoned altar deep in the demon cave..."

Luo Rufeng nodded, "But this time, thanks to you for discovering something was wrong in time, the demons were defeated by us. Not only were the demon beasts and demon soldiers, but also the leaders were all wiped out, and the two demon princes were seriously injured. If they were not rescued by a mysterious demon in the end, they would have died without a doubt..."

At the end of his speech, Luo Rufeng's tone turned cold.

Pei Yun felt it was a pity after hearing this. Several princes of the demon clan usually stir up trouble in the mortal world and kill many ordinary people. Their hands are stained with blood. The best ending for them is to let their souls turn into ashes.

"...How does the sect plan to deal with Pei Ruo and Qi Hengnan?" She suddenly thought of the purpose of coming to Xingya.

"Li Ming and these two, plus the spy who was exposed in the Demon Cave, the Sect Master said that we should search their souls directly. As for the others, since we haven't obtained definite evidence yet, we should first lock them up in the Prison Cliff for interrogation..."

Pei Yun was stunned. With the strength of the four people's souls, there was no possibility of survival after searching their souls. This was considered a deserved punishment.

Luo Rufeng said as he led her to a dungeon in the belly of a mountain. The dungeon was dark and gloomy, with no spiritual energy. Each small cell was covered with a magic circle to prevent anyone from escaping...

Luo Rufeng first went to Li Ming and the disciple who had exposed his identity in the stone chamber. Without waiting for the two to beg for mercy, he directly placed his hands on their heads and used his spiritual power to search their souls...

After a while, the soul search was completed, and both of them collapsed in the cell, without a single breath...

"Let's go to the next one."

The next cell was the one where Pei Ruo and Qi Hengnan were held. When they saw Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun, they couldn't stop shaking. They were already in a state of disgrace, their faces full of panic. They knelt in front of the two and kowtowed desperately for mercy. Qi Hengnan said incoherently:

"We were wrong! We were really wrong... It was Li Ming who forced us. We didn't do anything... We were coerced... Elder Luo, please talk to the sect master. We really had no choice. He was the one who threatened us..."

"... Pei Yun! Pei Yun! Please, for the sake of the Pei family and for my grandfather's sake... please plead for me... From now on, you can ask me to work like a slave for you, really... please..." Pei Ruo grabbed Pei Yun's skirt and burst into tears.

The reason why Luo Rufeng didn't take action at the beginning was that he thought Pei Yun would have something to say, but surprisingly, Pei Yun didn't say a word. He just lowered his eyes, took a step back, and distanced himself from Pei Ruo.

He understood Pei Yun's intention, and immediately controlled the two of them and searched their souls...

This time the soul search took a little longer. Originally, Luo Rufeng just wanted to find out the information about the demons, but when he saw the memories of the two and saw how they framed Pei Yun time and time again, a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

After the two men fell to the ground and died, Luo Rufeng subconsciously looked at Pei Yun, only to see that she was still standing there motionless, with her head lowered and her long hair covering her cheeks, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

"...Pei Yun." There was a hint of pity in Luo Rufeng's tone.

Pei Yun did not answer him, but just looked at the two dead faces in a trance, tears falling silently, she was mourning for her past life...

"Pei Yun!" Luo Rufeng called again. This time he moved closer and found that she was crying silently with sadness in her eyes.

Seeing her so fragile as never before, and her eyes that were always bright but now without their former luster, Luo Rufeng felt a pain in his heart. He stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and hugged her gently, patting her back with one hand and stroking her head with the other, gently comforting the person in his arms.

Although he didn't know why the deaths of these two people made Pei Yun so sad, he knew that the best way to help her at this moment was to stay by her side, without words or explanations.

Pei Yun felt herself being embraced in a warm embrace. She was stunned for a moment, recalling that she was almost always alone in her previous life, and humbly begging for Qi Hengnan's love, which ended in a tragic ending.

Now she truly has such a sincere emotion. After her mother passed away, her soul once again has a place to rely on...

Pei Yun raised her hands that were hanging by her side and slowly hugged the person in front of her. At this moment, all the grievances came out of her chest. She buried her head in Luo Rufeng's shoulder, and her tears soaked his clothes...
