Half a month later, in the courtyard of Luo Mansion, Huang Lanshi was holding Luo Rufeng's hand tightly, muttering non-stop: "...Son! Have you really lost your memory? You don't even recognize your mother?"

"Yuntian City has gone too far. You saved his daughter, but they even poisoned you!" The head of the Luo family, who had gradually recovered and was able to walk around, said angrily.

Luo Rufeng looked calm. Just as he was about to say something, Pei Yun, who had been in seclusion for half a month, came over.

"Yun'er is here! Come and sit down!" Huang Lanshi warmly called Pei Yun over and pulled her to sit next to Luo Rufeng.

The head of the Luo family also smiled and invited her to sit down, and said kindly: "This time the Luo family is really thanks to Pei Yun. How is your recovery?"

"Uncle, you are too polite." Pei Yun waved his hand modestly, "It just consumed some spiritual energy, and it has been recovered now."

"Yun'er, can you help him check if there is any evil energy left in his body?" Huang Lanshi pointed at the head of the Luo family beside her.

Pei Yun nodded, placed two fingers on the wrist of the Luo family master, and performed the Breathing and Life Skill. After a moment, he put down his hand and said with a smile:

"Uncle Luo has recovered well, and the evil spirits in his body have been removed. However, his meridians were damaged, so he still needs to be recuperated. It is not advisable to take any more actions for the time being. This is the meridian-replenishing pill. Uncle can take it while practicing, and he will recover faster..."

As she spoke, she took out the pulse-replenishing pill that she had made from her storage ring.

The head of the Luo family and Huang Lanshi had long regarded Pei Yun as their daughter-in-law, so naturally they were not polite to her and just kept praising Pei Yun.

"Son! You haven't forgotten even your wife!" Huang Lanshi suddenly turned around and asked Luo Rufeng.

Hearing her teasing, Pei Yun's cheeks turned red instantly. She lowered her head embarrassedly, not daring to look at Luo Rufeng.

Luo Rufeng's calm expression also showed a hint of uneasiness. He coughed slightly, changed the awkward topic, and asked the head of the Luo family: "Father, what was in that mine you and my eldest brother went to? Why were your bodies corroded by demonic energy?"

Hearing this, Pei Yun and Huang Lanshi also raised their heads and their expressions became serious.

"When Cheng Feng, I and the other miners first entered the mine, we didn't notice anything unusual, and there were no demons hiding inside. Just as we reached the deepest part of the mine and were about to return, a wisp of black gas suddenly emerged, and then everyone felt their skin burning as if it was painful. We endured it and escaped, and then we passed out..."

Patriarch Luo seemed to be immersed in the memories of that time, his brows furrowed and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Uncle Luo, have you discovered any monsters like the Demonic Stone? Where did this black gas come from?" Pei Yun asked.

"No, Cheng Feng and I took a look around before this and found nothing unusual."

"Has father reported this matter?" Luo Rufeng asked.

"I have informed City Lord Cao, and City Lord Cao has also reported the matter to Yue Jian Sect, but there is still no news. I asked everyone in the mine to come back and temporarily seal off the mine." Yongning City is under the jurisdiction of Yue Jian Sect.

Pei Yun fell silent and asked Yue Jian Sect to handle the matter. It would probably take at least two or three months. It was not that Yue Jian Sect was delaying intentionally, but that was the sect's procedure, and the same was true for their Yunshan Sect.

All the cities, big and small, in Beiqizhou are controlled by the ten major sects. These cities provide resources at regular intervals in order for the ten major sects to protect them.

However, a sect has so many cities under its jurisdiction that it is impossible to manage all the issues. Usually, when a problem arises, the city lord will report it to the sect first, and then the sect's managing elders will make a judgment. If the problem is not serious, a task will be issued and the disciples will take up the task. For example, Pei Yun took up the task of reporting the missing woman reported by the city lord of Qianwen City.

These managers will only report more urgent matters to their superiors, who will then arrange for the handling of the matter by the sect's elders or the sect master.

What happened in the Luo family's mine would most likely be treated as a trivial matter by the Yuejian Sect, and the disciples would be asked to take on the task as a training exercise.

"I'll go to the mine to take a look. If it's really the demons causing trouble, we must report it to all the major sects immediately." Luo Rufeng said.

"I will go with the Venerable." Pei Yun followed closely behind.

"I can go alone." Luo Rufeng looked at Pei Yun calmly and rejected her suggestion.

"Let Pei Yun go together." At this time, Jian Ling and Zhen Hua also came over, "You, us, and Pei Yun will go together."

Luo Rufeng lost his memory and forgot that Pei Yun had a Space Spirit Palace, but they did not forget that with the Space Spirit Palace, no one would be in too much danger.

"Wait a minute, this mine is so dangerous, even your father has fallen into it. Why are you going there? Wait until Yuejian Sect sends someone!" Huang Lanshi interrupted and eagerly pulled Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun.

Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun looked at each other, saw the determination in her eyes, then turned to Jian Ling and the other two, finally nodded, and said: "Then it's better to go sooner rather than later, let's go now."

"Luo Rufeng!" Huang Lanshi became angry when she saw her son being so stubborn.

"Alright, alright!" Patriarch Luo put his arm around her shoulders. "You know my son always has his own ideas. Besides, Pei Yun is here..."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm just going to check it out. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the evil spirit will expand its scope, and then it won't just be a mine..." Luo Rufeng explained.

"Rufeng, you have to be careful and protect Pei Yun." The head of the Luo family patted his shoulder.

Luo Rufeng nodded and glanced at Pei Yun beside him.

"Let's go!" Pei Yun nodded slightly towards Luo Rufeng.

They were all decisive people, and they set off directly to Shilan Mountain...

Following the reminder from the head of the Luo family, Luo Rufeng and his three companions quickly found the location of the mine. In order to prevent anyone from accidentally entering, the head of the Luo family also ordered people to set up an isolation array.

However, this was only a low-level formation. Luo Rufeng waved his sleeves and the formation was broken. The four of them looked at each other and walked in one after another...

There was plenty of spiritual energy in the mine, and there were traces of excavation on the walls. Some of the tools used for digging were left in place, and the four people did not sense any demonic energy.

Pei Yun carefully practiced the newly-cultivated golden armor technique, and a thin layer of light containing the artistic conception of gold covered the surface of her entire body.

Luo Rufeng also created a sword formation to protect the four people. Even the head of the Luo family, who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was hit. The four people dared not take it lightly.

"No, I can't sense any demonic energy, and there are no demons causing trouble!" After walking for a while, the demon-slaying sword spirit shook his head.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the mine that Master Luo had mentioned, but still found nothing.

"Could it be that the timing is wrong? Why don't we wait here and see." Pei Yun suggested.

Everyone nodded and sat down cross-legged, not daring to relax their minds. They looked around carefully and sensed the changes around them.

Until late at night, the spiritual lamp illuminated the entire mine as if it were daytime. It was quiet all around, with the sound of the wind whistling...

"Here it comes!" The sword spirit suddenly opened his eyes and stood up abruptly.

The other three were only half a beat slower than him. They saw a wisp of black gas "whoosh" passing in front of everyone. Several people immediately attacked it, but all of them failed.

This wisp of black energy seemed to have self-awareness, it changed direction and rushed towards the four people...

However, Zhenhua was just a consciousness and the sword spirit was not a physical entity, so it could only rush towards Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng quickly.

"Be careful!" Luo Rufeng subconsciously stood in front of Pei Yun and used the Three Swords of Extermination, but the black energy could ignore all attacks, and Pei Yun's Golden Armor Technique did not work at all. It penetrated the bodies of the two in an instant...

The sword spirit and Zhenhua were both shocked. In just a few blinks of an eye, Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun were gradually shrouded in black air.

Pei Yun didn't care about the demonic energy running around in her body. She endured the pain and led the three of them directly into the space...

"what?"

Suddenly, a faint sound of doubt was heard in the mine, and then a golden light forcibly wrapped up the evil spirit and disappeared behind the cave wall in the corner...

In the space, Pei Yun spent several hours and finally removed the evil energy from her and Luo Rufeng's bodies. Because the treatment was timely, it did not cause too much harm to the two.

Luo Rufeng looked around the environment in the space. Although he was surprised, he did not ask any questions. Seeing this, Pei Yun took the initiative to introduce his own space to him.

Luo Rufeng looked at her with a meaningful look. He didn't expect Pei Yun to trust him so much that he even shared such a life-saving secret with him. Inexplicably, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart. This feeling of being trusted made him and Pei Yun closer.

"Senior Jian Ling, is that demonic energy still outside?" Since coming in, Jian Ling and Zhen Hua have been observing the situation outside the space.

Zhenhua saw that the two had recovered and said, "As soon as we came in, the evil spirit seemed to be swept away by a golden light and disappeared..."

"It's that cave wall! The place where they disappeared. Since you are all safe, let's go out and chisel open the cave wall. I think there is a monster in there!" suggested the sword spirit.

Everyone agreed, and Pei Yun led the three of them out. Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun held swords in their hands and blasted in the direction pointed by the sword spirit...

During this period, this trace of evil spirit never appeared again. After digging for a whole day, the sword spirit once again keenly sensed the presence of evil spirit.

"It's behind this cave wall! Be careful. If you are invaded by the evil spirit, return to the space!"

Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng nodded solemnly, and each displayed their own sword skills...

This time, a huge cave appeared behind the cave wall. When everyone looked, they saw a black spirit bead floating in the center of the cave. The spirit bead was filled with demonic energy, and it was very "pure" demonic energy.

The evil energy tried desperately to overflow, but was restrained by the golden light wrapped around the spirit bead. The golden light was surrounded by golden sealing runes, which were obviously sealing the spirit bead to prevent the evil energy from leaking out.

However, two of the sealing runes had become slightly dim, and the evil spirit seemed to be consciously rushing towards these two weak spots, trying to break through the confinement.

The four of them were shocked by the scene before them, but these were not what shocked Pei Yun the most. What shocked her the most was that a figure was outlined by the dazzling golden light before them!

"Nine-tailed white fox!"
