After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

"It's not us who hurt him. He wanted to take the opportunity to escape. We just stopped him and didn't let him leave..."

Sect Master Hou stood up with a frown on his face. "In this great war between Taoists and demons in Ji Tian City, all the major sects contributed. In addition, many civilians were killed and injured in Ji Tian City. Ji Jian Sect needs to give an explanation to everyone. As one of the parties involved, how can we let this person leave so easily..."

"I have already explained this to you. It was caused by the Night Demon Lord who came to look for his daughter. The people of Jitian City were killed by the demons. What does it have to do with him?"

“What does it have to do with him?! If he and the witch hadn’t come to Jitian City, if you hadn’t protected them, how could the people of Jitian City have suffered this disaster…” Sect Master Hou was furious.

"Whether they come to Jitian City or not, Ye Ming will kidnap them and harm the people. It is obvious that the culprit is the demon clan, but you put the blame on an innocent victim. Did he let the demon clan attack Jitian City?"

"...Also, Jitian City is under the jurisdiction of our Jijian Sect, and it is near the sect. However, you, as high-ranking members of the Jijian Sect, have not discovered any traces of the demons hiding in the city. If I hadn't told you, you might not have noticed anything..."

These words made the Jijian Sect's high-level officials look grim. After Qin Gu discovered that Li Wan had contact with the demons, he immediately informed Sect Master Hou and strengthened the guards in the city. Otherwise, the loss of Jitian City this time would have been more than just this.

"Qin Gu, didn't you say before that you had severed your master-disciple relationship with Qin Yun? If that's the case, why bother to make enemies with all the major sects for him! With your strength and prestige, you will undoubtedly be the next master of the temple. Why are you so impulsive for a traitor at this time! Have you forgotten what your master Qin Meng said to you before he ascended..."

Sect Leader Hou softened his tone and gave advice.

"...I have indeed severed the master-disciple relationship with Qin Yun, and I will not let him go just because he is Qin Yun's reincarnation..."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Yun behind him turned pale instantly. He clenched his fists with his hands hanging at his sides, lowered his head to hide the lost emotions in his eyes, and the bitterness in his heart could not be suppressed...

"But this person is just an ordinary cultivator now. He has not betrayed the sect, nor has he harmed innocent people. Why should he be interrogated by the major sects and have his freedom restricted?"

Qin Yun's tone became more and more severe. "How is your treatment of an innocent person different from those demons who harm the common people? He is also a member of the common people. You keep saying that you want to protect the common people of the world. Is this how you protect them? If you just use this sentence as an excuse to deal with the demons, then the difference between you and the demons is just that of a hypocrite and a real villain!"

"Qin Gu!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sect Leader Hou and several elders were so angry at the sarcasm in his words that they immediately pointed at Qin Gu and started to refute him.

"Qin Gu, do you really want to protect him today and get him to leave my Jijian Sect?" Sect Master Hou confirmed again with half-closed eyes.

"If he wants to leave of his own free will, we have no right to interfere..." Qin Gu turned to Qin Yun and asked expressionlessly, "If you want to leave, no one will stop you. From now on, if you are worthy of the Dao Sect, the Dao Sect will not kill you. But if you surrender to the demon clan, I, Qin Gu, will take your life with my own hands..."

Qin Yun did not dare to look up at him, he just lowered his head and knelt down in front of him, kowtowed and said: "I, the unfilial disciple Qin Yun, apologize to the master..."

"...Don't call me Master. Many years ago, when he defected from the sect for the witch, I no longer had a disciple."

The cold words instantly pierced Qin Yun's chest like a sharp sword. With red eyes, he leaned his forehead against the ground, holding back tears and choking, "Venerable Qin Gu, I will come to you to apologize after I have finished everything..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, without looking at anyone, and strode towards the outside of the sect.

He knew clearly that his master would not forgive him, and he knew clearly that they had severed their master-disciple relationship long ago, but when Qin Gu once again reiterated in front of everyone that they had nothing to do with each other, he was still heartbroken.

Seeing this, Pei Yun and the others quickly followed him and sent him away...

"Qin Gu, are you really going to let him go? Even if we let him go, other sects won't let him go..." said Sect Master Hou.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say. Just spread the news that I let him go and put the blame on me. And by the way, inform all the major sects that no one is allowed to hurt him before he kills innocent people who have defected to the demon clan. Otherwise, I will personally come and kill him..."

After Qin Gu finished speaking, he did not even look at the gloomy faces of the Jijian Sect's top leaders, and immediately returned to Meng Daoshan.

"This Qin Gu is too arrogant. He thinks that if he is blamed for everything, the Jijian Sect won't be implicated?! He is also a member of the Jijian Sect. We all prosper together and suffer together!"

"That's right! With his behavior, outsiders will think we are protecting a Taoist traitor!"

"Master, I think we should secretly spread the news about Qin Yun..."

Several elders were very dissatisfied with Qin Gu's overbearing attitude, and some even came up with bad ideas.

Sect Master Hou stared at Meng Daoshan for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "...Forget it, just follow Qin Gu's wishes..."

"Master, you can't indulge Qin Gu like this again and again..."

"I don't want to indulge him. It's because the people below are not up to the task! In this Jijian Sect, including the Grand Elder, who can beat Qin Gu! In terms of strength, all of us combined cannot beat him. He is so angry that he doesn't care about anything. Who will Jijian Sect rely on to support the facade? The title of the number one sect in our continent does not rely on good relationships, but on the deterrence of strength..."

On the other side, Pei Yun and the other man accompanied Qin Yun down the mountain.

"No need to see me off, fifth sister. Although I have recovered my memories from my past life, I am still Pei Shi in this life, and I am your elder brother..." Qin Yun's mood had gradually calmed down, and he said with his usual gentle smile.

"Brother, are you going to find...Ye Li?" Pei Yun asked.

"Well, in this life, Wan'er, no, Li'er is completely innocent. I can't let her be controlled by the demons and do evil things. I have to save her and escape from the demon cave..."

Pei Yun looked at Qin Yun, who had reached the perfect stage of foundation building, and said tactfully: "Brother, you are only at the foundation building stage now. Even if you get the spiritual power in the soul bone, you will soon be able to break through to the golden elixir stage, but it will be difficult to save Ye Li with such strength alone..."

"...I know, but I still want to go. There are some things that you should do even though you know they are impossible. I can't just watch Li'er being manipulated by her father..."

As he spoke, Pei Yun looked at him speechlessly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. "Fifth sister, just say whatever you want to say..."

"Great... Venerable Qin Yun, do you really think that the witch Ye Li is completely innocent? Not to mention that in this life, she took the initiative to contact the demons and brought disaster to the people of Jitian City. In the previous life, she was the daughter of the demon lord and enjoyed the honor and favor brought to her by her father's cruelty to the people. As a vested interest, is she really so innocent?"

"... Pei Yun, do you and the people in the Dao sect think so? Was her birth a choice she could make? She couldn't choose her father, so what was her fault..."

Seeing Pei Yun, who always understood him, say this, Qin Yun suddenly became excited. Luo Rufeng couldn't help but frowned slightly and pulled Pei Yun back a step.

"I'm sorry, Venerable Qin Yun. This may not be a question of right or wrong, but a question of stance. I can't think from Ye Li's perspective on this matter. I only sympathize with those innocent mortals. They have parents, wives and children, and just want to live a peaceful life. But because a witch from the demon clan wants to improve her magic power or refine a small gadget, they may be drained of blood and skinned, and become wronged ghosts, never to be reincarnated..."

"Venerable Qin Yun, did you know that we have entered the Demon Prison? It is simply a hell on earth. The demons sucked the blood of mortals and even their souls were collected into magic crystals to be refined into magic world stones. Who will speak up for the torture these mortals have suffered?"

Luo Rufeng said solemnly, "...I'm just trying to advise you with good intentions. We've already learned from Venerable Qin Gu that he had sheltered the two of you in his villa, where you rarely went out and had a large formation to protect you. The demons couldn't find you at all. It was Li Wan who took the initiative to contact the demons in Jitian City, which led to the current situation. You should think clearly about what kind of person your wife is and whether she really shares the same ideals as you. Otherwise, you'll just be repeating the mistakes of your last life..."

Qin Yun, who just now knew the truth of the matter, looked at the two of them in disbelief.

However, thinking back to the night of the quarrel, Wan'er was indeed very abnormal. She suddenly asked to leave the villa. He thought Wan'er was dissatisfied with Venerable Qin Gu's ban on her going out. It turned out that Venerable Qin Gu discovered that Wan'er had contact with the demons, so he banned them from going out.

"Qin Yun thanks you two for telling me, I know you two mean well..." Qin Yun said as he bowed to them gratefully, "Fifth sister, the promise I made to you will not change, we will say goodbye here, I will go home when I have time, and then I will come to Yunshan Sect to visit you..."

Pei Yun and the other man returned the greeting and watched him walk away: "Brother, I still want to find Ye Li after all..."

Pei Yun had a worried look in his eyes. Although Qin Yun didn't say anything, the two of them knew he had made up his mind when they saw his resolute expression.

"Don't worry, Ye Li from the Demon Clan won't let anything happen to him... As for the Taoist sect, as long as he doesn't help the evildoers and doesn't surrender to the Demon Clan, Venerable Qin Gu will also protect him..."
