When Ye Ming saw the person in the painting, his originally careless expression suddenly froze. His heart trembled slightly, and he retracted his attack, but his face remained calm as he asked, "Where did you get this painting from?"

"Mother!" Ye Li, who was squatting beside Qin Yun, was also shocked. "How did you get my mother's portrait?"

She had only seen her mother's portrait deep in her father's palace, where her father hung it in his inner room.

"Bai Qingyan is my great master, and this portrait was given to me by an elder of the White Fox Clan."

Pei Yun said as he shook his head towards Ye Li, "You are not like your mother at all. Your mother had a firm heart for the Tao and even sacrificed her own soul to seal the evil spirit. You are so far behind..."

"Shut up!" Ye Li was instantly enraged.

"You don't think that I will forgive you just because of this portrait, do you? The two of you have ruined my good deeds time and time again. You will surely die today, and no one can save you!" Ye Ming snorted coldly and was about to raise his hand.

Luo Rufeng raised the magic sword in his hand to protect Pei Yun and was about to make a fatal attack, but Pei Yun stepped forward to stop him.

She was always on edge, but she smiled calmly: "Demon Lord Ye Ming, don't you want to know where Bai Qingyan is now? Don't you want to know whether Bai Qingyan's soul will also disappear after the demon spirit is destroyed?"

"Father!" Ye Li came to Ye Ming's side, glared at Pei Yun fiercely, and suggested, "Catch her and make her tell us the whereabouts of her mother..."

She knew that Ye Ming had been secretly searching for Bai Qingyan's whereabouts, but to no avail.

"Demon Lord Ye Ming, as long as you promise to release everyone present, including the people of Chi Ning City, I will tell you the whereabouts of Master Bai, how about it?" Pei Yun said.

"It's okay. No one can threaten me yet. Are you worthy enough?!" The Night Demon Lord teleported in front of Pei Yun and was about to snatch the portrait from her hand, but Pei Yun took the portrait back into the space first.

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes, revealing a threatening expression, and put one hand on her head: "Searching her soul can also tell her whereabouts..."

Pei Yun sneered: "Demon Lord Yeming, you can't even kill me, how can you search my soul?" As she spoke, she was about to dodge into space, and two sword lights attacked Demon Lord Yeming's back one after another.

One of the sword lights was so powerful that it arrived first, forcing Ye Ming to let go of Pei Yun and fight back.

"Qin Gu!" Ye Ming saw who was coming and sneered, "Sure enough, you are always meddling in other people's business!"

Pei Yun saw Qin Gu and the middle-aged woman following him and said in surprise: "Greetings to the Venerable Qin Gu, greetings to the Grand Elder." This middle-aged woman was Shen Lingxian, the Grand Elder of the Yunshan Sect.

Shen Lingxian came in front of Pei Yun and the other two, and saw that one of them was in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage, and the other was in the Perfect Nascent Soul Stage. A hint of shock flashed in her eyes, and then she showed joy: "Yes, you two went to the demon world, and your cultivation has improved so much. It's really a blessing for our sect!"

Qin Gu and Pei Yun nodded in response, glanced at the scene, and saw Qin Yun lying on the ground injured. His gaze paused for a few breaths, then he looked away as if nothing had happened and looked at Ye Ming:

"Ye Ming, this is the territory of the Dao Sect. How dare you be so reckless? Do the demons want to start a war with our Dao Sect in advance?!"

"Humph! If it weren't for my daughter wanting a useless disciple like you, I wouldn't bother coming here. But these two little guys have repeatedly ruined my plans and even stole hundreds of Demon Realm Stones. I must kill them!"

"As long as I'm here, you can't hurt anyone here!" Qin Gu said nothing and went forward to meet the enemy with sword in hand.

"You two stay at the side and don't make any moves. I'll go and help Venerable Qin Gu." Shen Lingxian instructed, then took out her own magic weapon - the Yin-Yang curved swords, and flew high into the sky...

Ye Ming and Qin Gu were very powerful, and their destructive power had already broken the magic circle set by Ye Li in an instant. People in the entire Chi Ning City saw that above Pei Mansion, the devil energy and sword energy collided with each other. Qin Gu's sword domain and Ye Ming's devil domain directly made the sky half filled with black air and half covered with golden light...

"What's going on? What happened in Pei Mansion?" City Lord Zhao and the elders in the City Lord's Mansion were all horrified.

"It's Venerable Qin Gu! That man is Venerable Qin Gu from the Jijian Sect!" An elder recognized Qin Gu's identity because they had seen Qin Gu at Pei Yun's Nascent Soul Ceremony.

"…The one fighting him is a demon! Are there demons invading Chi Ning City? Oh my God!"

"And he can fight back and forth with Venerable Qin Gu. He must be a high-ranking member of the demon clan..."

"Qingqing, Qingqing is still in Pei Mansion!" The City Lord's wife was so frightened and worried that she almost fainted when she thought of her daughter in Pei Mansion.

The five major families in Chi Ning City also saw the situation in front of them. The ancestors who had been in seclusion for many years appeared and looked at the sky above Pei Mansion with worried eyes.

"Ancestor, how come the Pei Mansion attracted the Venerable Qin Gu and the high-ranking demons? And that person seems to be the Grand Elder of the Yunshan Sect. These are all important figures that we don't usually see!"

"You forgot that the Pei Mansion has a master who is stronger than everyone in Chi Ning City—Pei Yun!" said the Qian Family Patriarch, "The rise of the Pei Family is inevitable..."

"The Pei family is in such a predicament now..."

"Stupid! Venerable Qin Gu is now fighting against the demons. If he can't defeat them, the people of Chi Ning City will be wiped out in an instant..."

Inside Pei's house——

Qin Gu and Ye Ming were evenly matched, and Shen Lingxian's assistance was not very effective. Most of the buildings in the Pei Mansion had collapsed and were in a mess.

Pei Yun thought of an idea when she saw this. She said to Luo Rufeng, "Venerable, please protect the people of the Pei family and Senior Qin Yun. I will go to assist Venerable Qin Gu."

"No." Luo Rufeng held her hand, not letting her leave. "Even the Supreme Elder cannot join their battle. If you go over there, you will die!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I'm not going to join their fight. I'll just stand in the distance and interfere with the Night Demon Lord..." Pei Yun smiled at him.

Luo Rufeng looked at her in confusion, and saw her suddenly use her spiritual power to speak loudly: "Demon Lord Ye Ming, Grandmaster Bai Qingyan finally retained a trace of her soul and returned to her origin. Do you want to know what last words she left before she died?"

She used her spiritual power to say this, and people within a few miles could hear her voice. Ye Ming naturally heard it too. He froze, and his mind, which was originally focused on fighting the enemy, was distracted by her words. The magic power he exerted was delayed for a moment, and the next moment, the sharp sword light cut his arm, leaving a blood mark...

"Master Bai said that she never wants to meet you again in the next life!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Gu's sword left a scar on Ye Ming's neck. Ye Ming's mood was difficult to conceal because of Pei Yun's words. For the first time, his cold face showed a flaw. Indescribable emotions surged in his heart. He didn't want to fight with Qin Gu anymore. He flew down directly to Pei Yun's front...

"What did you just say?" Ye Ming's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping from it, and his fierce eyes looked as if he was going to kill Pei Yun in the next moment.

"Bai Qingyan said that she doesn't want to meet you again in the next life..." Pei Yun said word by word.

Ye Ming was about to slap Pei Yun, but Qin Gu stood between them, raised his hand, and pierced Ye Ming's shoulder with a sword...

"Demon Lord Ye Ming, you don't believe what I say? It doesn't matter, I can prove it to you!" Pei Yun seemed to want to give Ye Ming a thorough blow, and the golden ball in her left eye began to appear slightly.

Everyone present looked at Pei Yun, waiting for her proof.

A moment later, the scene of that day reappeared before everyone's eyes——

Bai Qingyan walked out of the dark mine. Her eyes revealed an indifference that showed she had seen through everything in the world. Her soul turned into golden light and drifted towards the distant sky. Finally, she looked up at the sunny sky with a relieved smile on her face, and sighed faintly: "...I don't want to meet him again in the next life..."

Even if it was just a memory replay, everyone could feel the woman's sadness, sorrow, happiness, and nostalgia when she was about to be freed. In the end, everything turned into relief...

"Mother!" Ye Li wanted to hug Bai Qingyan with tears streaming down her face, but the memory illusion had disappeared.

Ye Ming stared blankly at the memory in front of him without saying a word. In his mind, he recalled the scene when he first met Bai Qingyan——

In his search for the Chaos Pearl, he was besieged by the Taoists. At that time, the great war between Taoism and Demons had just ended, and the Taoists were at their peak of power, while the Demons were seriously injured. He was seriously injured and came to a paradise.

When he woke up, he saw a beautiful woman. She smiled at him with her eyes curved and full of sly smiles, like a naughty little fox. Her tone was lively only for a young girl: "What's your name? How did you come to my Medicine King Valley?"

The fate that started thousands of years ago finally ended at this moment. Flowers bloomed and fell, fate came and went...

Ye Ming covered his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The devilish light in his eyes became stronger. Qin Gu felt the devilish energy around him becoming chaotic. Just as he was hesitating whether to attack again, Ye Ming suddenly stood in front of Ye Li with his hands behind his back and said, "Go back."

After saying that, he grabbed Ye Li's shoulder with one hand, and without waiting for her to struggle, he tore through space and left this place...

Qin Gu sighed secretly, and said to Pei Yun and the other two, "Since the Night Demon Lord has left, I will leave first. If you have anything, just go to the Taoist Temple directly."

"Thank you, Venerable Qin Gu." The three of them bowed to him and thanked him.

After Qin Gu left, Pei Yun realized that something was wrong. Luo Rufeng saw her staring at Qin Yun and thinking, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Pei Yun shook her head. She just felt that this time, Venerable Qin Gu's attitude towards Senior Qin Yun was very cold and distant. He didn't even look at Qin Yun who fell to the ground.

Of course, Venerable Qin Gu has always been a cold person, but judging from the time when he protected Qin Yun in Jijian Sect last time, he clearly cared about his disciple from his previous life. However, this time when they met, he treated him like a stranger and even ignored him. This made Pei Yun a little curious about what kind of conflict had arisen between the two...

But she didn't have time to gossip about these things now. Ye Ming was gone, Qin Gu was gone, the Supreme Elder was also gone, and she still had to stay in Pei Mansion to clean up the mess.

The two men first helped the injured Qin Yun to a room that had not been destroyed and let him rest.

After Pei Yun used the Xisheng Jue to heal his injuries, he also gave him some medicine to take.

"I'm sorry, fifth sister, I didn't fulfill my promise to you..." Qin Yun suddenly said.

Pei Yun was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Qin Yun, that is, Pei Shi, had promised her that if Li Wan joined the demon clan one day, he would kill her with his own hands.

It was obvious that Qin Yun did not use any ruthless force when the two were fighting just now.

Pei Yun sighed and said, "Senior Qin Yun, I actually partially agree with your views from your previous life. Whether a person is good or evil, right or wrong, is not determined by which sect she was born in or what she said, but by what she did. If a demon clan member has done everything in her life to save the people and punish evil and promote good, then even if she was born in the demon clan, she is still a kind and upright person. If a Taoist sect member always talks about saving the people, but does things that are against morality and harm innocent people, then he is also an evil person... But Senior Qin Yun, you have to wake up. Ye Li is not the person in your mind who still does good deeds even though she was born in the demon clan. She only has you in her mind. For this obsession, she can do good or evil. She has no normal concept of right and wrong, and all her actions come from you..."

"...I know, but at that moment just now, thinking about how she resolutely chose to die with me after my death in my previous life, I finally couldn't bring myself to do it..." Qin Yun closed his eyes and said softly, "Fifth sister, you are very disappointed in me... I guess... he is also very disappointed in me..."

Pei Yun knew that Qin Yun still hadn't thought it through, so she didn't want to say anything more. She said, "Brother, the Pei family is too weak. I'm afraid Ye Li will come to our door again. Why don't you wait for a few days until your injury is better and go back to Yunshan Sect with me? Yunshan Sect is becoming increasingly powerful now, and the Supreme Elder has established a relationship with the Taoist Temple. Even Ye Li doesn't dare to enter Yunshan Sect without permission... You can practice with peace of mind after entering Yunshan Sect..."

"...That's fine, thank you for your help."

"It's not a big deal. I'll leave first. You should take good care of your injuries. I'll take care of the Pei family's affairs."
