Seeing the figure of Venerable Lingxi appear in front of him, Pei Yun was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Mountain Master." Elder Gou's heart trembled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Father, why are you here?"

Chen Ruyue was also startled. Thinking of what was said just now, she couldn't help feeling guilty. She knew that her father always disliked children like them who used the name of Lingxi Mountain to bully others.

Most people present did not know Chen Lingxi. When they heard Pei Yun and Chen Ruyue address them, they were stunned for a moment. After they came to their senses, they all bowed to Chen Lingxi and said, "Greetings, Venerable Lingxi."

Chen Lingxi heard the conversation between the two just now clearly. He looked at Chen Ruyue, his smile slightly restrained, and said with an unclear expression: "Everyone who comes is a guest, why do you want to chase everyone from Yunshan Sect away?"

"Father, it was Pei Yun...she insulted me first..." Chen Ruyue no longer had the arrogance she had just now, she tried to maintain her composure and defend herself.

"When did I insult you? Although you are from Lingxi Mountain, you cannot force guests to test their bone age. What's my age got to do with you? Besides, am I wrong to say that you cannot represent Venerable Lingxi or Lingxi Mountain? You asked this elder from Lingxi Mountain to do something and asked other forces to target my Yunshan Sect. Am I wrong? Now you are the one who inexplicably stopped us and wanted to drive me out of Yunshan Sect..."

Pei Yun didn't intend to save face for Chen Ruyue anymore. The more you tolerate this kind of person, the more arrogant she will become. It was just right that the person who could deal with her came now.

Their Yunshan Sect is far inferior to Lingxi Mountain in terms of strength, but they are not ones that will be bullied by others.

After asking a series of questions, Pei Yun turned to Chen Lingxi and bowed, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I dare to ask, Venerable Lingxi, can Chen Ruyue represent you? Can she represent Lingxi Mountain? My Yunshan Sect was invited here. I don't know what I did wrong to be expelled from Lingxi Mountain?"

When the onlookers saw that Pei Yun dared to speak to Venerable Lingxi in such a "questioning" tone, many of them couldn't help but gasp. The other people from the Yunshan Sect were not afraid and stood behind Pei Yun to make their position clear.

"How dare you! Pei Yun, you actually dare to speak to my father in this manner, really..."

Chen Ruyue was halfway through her words when she was yelled at, "Shut up!" She didn't dare to say another word.

Chen Lingxi looked at Pei Yun in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly. He softened his tone with a hint of smile in his eyes and said, "This is because I, Lingxishan, did not entertain you well. I did not discipline my daughter well and neglected everyone in Yunshan Sect. I hope you can forgive me."

"I dare not." Seeing that Chen Lingxi was not angry at Pei Yun's words, but instead bowed and apologized to the people of Yunshan Sect with a gentle expression, the people of Yunshan Sect hurriedly returned the greeting.

"Elder Gou, take Ruyue with you and go down first. We don't need you to guard this place anymore. Go to the Punishment Hall and receive your punishment..."

“…Yes, Mountain Master.” Elder Gou didn’t dare to look at Chen Lingxi’s eyes again, his heart filled with fear and regret.

Chen Ruyue heard a hint of anger in Chen Lingxi's tone of command, and she didn't dare to refute.

Seeing people around her looking at her with strange eyes, she felt an unprecedented embarrassment. She lowered her head and glanced hatefully at Pei Yun beside her.

Just when everyone thought that Chen Lingxi would leave after resolving the matter, he unexpectedly looked at Pei Yun again and said, "Friend Pei, I am about to go to the Alchemy Pavilion to teach my disciples. I heard from Ziheng that you are very talented in alchemy. I wonder if you are interested in communicating with my disciples in Lingxi Mountain?"

"It is my honor to receive guidance from Venerable Lingxi."

Pei Yun didn't expect that Venerable Lingxi came here for this reason. She was pleasantly surprised and pulled Zhang Su forward again, "...This is Elder Zhang Su of my Yunshan Sect, and he is also an alchemist. I wonder if you can go with me?"

"Of course." Chen Lingxi couldn't help but smile.

Pei Yun gave a brief explanation to the other people from the Yunshan Sect, then followed Chen Lingxi to the Alchemy Pavilion with Zhang Su.

After Chen Lingxi left, the onlookers around dared to talk about it.

"Is this Venerable Lingxi?! I actually saw Venerable Lingxi, and he was so close to me..."

"I heard that Venerable Lingxi is handsome, suave, and unrestrained. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation..."

"No wonder Venerable Lingxi has so many female confidantes. Her appearance and temperament alone are enough to attract people..."

"...Reverend Lingxi did not protect Chen Ruyue at all today, which shows that the rumors and gossip are true. It seems that Chen Ruyue is going to fall out of favor..."

"But... do you think that Venerable Lingxi seems to know Pei Yun from Yunshan Sect? He even came here in person just for her..."

"Wait, did you hear that? The woman just now is not only extremely powerful, but she is also an alchemist?!"

"Do you think she is really under 100 years old?"

"That's even more impossible. If you have to practice and make pills at the same time, how can you reach the Divine Transformation stage before you're eighty?!"

Everyone was gossiping for a while before dispersing...

Songying Mountain, inside the guest house——

Luo Rufeng sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. He was sweating profusely, his face was red, his clothes were soaked, and there was a wave of heat coming out of his body. These days, his mind flashed with past memories from time to time. Gradually, the fragmented memories were connected bit by bit -

He recalled the night he and Pei Yun said goodbye before going to the Sword Saint Tower. The two of them hugged each other reluctantly...

He recalled the time when they witnessed Li Wan's transformation into a demon in Jitian City...

He recalled that the two of them had come to a different world called Blue Star, and under the blooming fireworks, he confessed his feelings to Pei Yun...

He remembered that Pei Yun had brought him into the personal space in order to save him in the air secret realm...

He recalled the time and again when the two of them had fought against the demons together, sharing life and death...

He remembered the two of them walking on the quiet street under the moonlight, enjoying a moment of warmth...

He recalled the time when he was seriously injured and lying in Pei Yun's arms in Yongning City, and vaguely saw her hugging him and crying...

He remembered that he had given her the jade token that he had always carried with him...

He recalled the beast tide coming to the Desolate Valley, and the first time he saw her...

But in the end, a scene appeared in his memory that he had never experienced before, but somehow it felt inexplicably familiar.

In the picture, he and several elders of Yunshan Sect broke into a stone chamber. At this moment, the chamber was full of corpses, including corpses of monsters and corpses of Yunshan Sect disciples. Before he could react, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from a corner of the chamber, and a huge force of time and space burst out!

The next moment, the space and time around him distorted instantly, and the people and objects around him became blurred, leaving only the source of the golden light. He saw Pei Yun, a strange yet familiar Pei Yun, covered in blood. The thing she held in her hand was the source of the golden light. Her eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness, and she slowly closed her eyes...

Luo Rufeng suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath when he saw the surrounding environment...
