Behind the mountain of Lingxi, under the peach tree——

"Are you leaving?" Chen Lingxi picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank a glass, then looked up at the person opposite him.

“Tomorrow morning I will lead the disciples of Jijian Sect back to the sect first. The two elders of Jijian Sect will stay and take over the small world together with other sects…” Qin Gu said.

"Why don't you stay a little longer? We haven't met for a long time. You're leaving after just a few days, and I haven't had the chance to learn from you yet!"

Qin Gu raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Lingxi. Seeing that he had a smile on his face and his usual carefree expression, he said, "These disciples first fell into a state of no return, and then were injured by the sword spirit's evil spirit. Their bodies and souls were damaged. The elders want them to return to the sect as soon as possible for treatment..."

The disciples who were able to follow Qin Gu to Lingxi Mountain are all elite disciples and the future pillars of Jijian Sect. After internal discussions within Jijian Sect, it was decided that it would be better to send these disciples back to the sect as soon as possible.

Chen Lingxi nodded and said, "Five days later, I will personally lead all the major forces into the small world to meet the Nanling people in the small world. When I am free after this trip, I will go to Jijian Sect to learn from you. You have improved too fast in recent years. When fighting against the sword spirit, if it weren't for the disciples holding you back, I am afraid you could kill him by yourself..."

Qin Gu shook his head and said, "Even if I can kill him, I will be seriously injured. Just as Pei Yun said, the sword spirit's strength is already enough to ascend to the immortal platform. What a pity..." He sighed softly.

Hearing the name "Pei Yun", Chen Lingxi slightly restrained his smile and did not speak again for a while.

Qin Gu said, "I came to see you this time, first, to say goodbye to you, and second, I hope you can let Pei Yun and Yunshan Sect go."

"Let Pei Yun and Yunshan Sect go?" Chen Lingxi was startled at first, then he laughed, but the laughter did not reach his eyes. "Do you think I will take action against Pei Yun and Yunshan Sect?"

Qin Gu said calmly: "I came to Lingxi Mountain this time because I wanted to meet the old friend who once fought side by side with me, but after this experience, I found that I don’t actually know you…"

Chen Lingxi's smile completely disappeared from her face, and she said expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm wrong? Pei Yun led Ruyue step by step into the trap she dug in front of all the major forces, and then used public opinion to force me to let Ruyue make a choice, and finally killed my daughter in front of me. I was merciful to let them leave Lingxi Mountain safely..."

Chen Lingxi had never suffered such a great loss at the hands of a woman before, not to mention that the other party was not an evenly matched opponent, but just a small figure who could be killed by him with one move.

He now has complicated feelings towards Pei Yun. He admires her a little in his anger, but Chen Lingxi cannot completely let go of the fact that his daughter was killed in front of him: "From the moment she entered Lingxi Palace, she was plotting against Ruyue, step by step to force Ruyue to death, but she didn't give me, Chen Lingxi, any face at all..."

"Did she do anything wrong in this matter? Chen Ruyue plotted against her, so is it wrong for her to go back and seek revenge?"

Qin Gu replied, "You reap what you sow. If Chen Ruyue hadn't been the first to attack, how could the incident at Lingxi Palace have happened? You said Pei Yun is very scheming, but have you ever thought about why she did this? Chen Ruyue's cultivation is much lower than hers. If she could retaliate directly, why would she need to 'guide' or 'use' her as you said? It's because she knew that Lingxi Mountain would protect Chen Ruyue and couldn't give her a fair result..."

Chen Lingxi remained silent. Qin Gu continued, "Master once lamented to me before he ascended to heaven that some people in high positions have been in power for too long, enjoying the taste of power and getting used to everyone obeying them. They may have long forgotten how they got to where they are now. When they point their swords at the weak who don't obey them, they forget that these people are the 'common people' they keep talking about..."

"...I will restrain the people below, and the feud between Chen Ruyue and Yunshan Sect will end here."

After a long silence, Chen Lingxi sighed, raised his glass and drank with Qin Gu.

……

Here, Pei Yun and the other person left the small world after burying Lin Yunqing and Lin Zhaoxian. As soon as they came out, they received a communication talisman from Elder Wang.

"Oh no! Senior Brother Liang and the others are in danger. Let's go quickly!"

Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng stared at each other. Pei Yun took out the Suzaku puppet and went to rescue the people of Yunshan Sect as quickly as possible...

……

Deep in the dense forest, at the critical moment, Fan He rescued Zhu Yuyan who was almost suffocated.

Hua Niang's face twisted instantly. She didn't bother to deal with other people. She came directly in front of Fan He and said angrily:

"Fan He, I knew you couldn't forget this bitch. For her, you even ignored the Fan family?! As long as she is alive, she will definitely spread the news that we killed so many powerful people. Do you want the Fan family to be besieged by all the major families?"

"Fan He, save me." Zhu Yuyan hid behind Fan He, put one hand on his back, and lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

Hearing the delicate cry for help from behind, and feeling a slight heat on his back after being touched by her, Fan He felt even more guilty. He stood in front of Zhu Yuyan and said, "...I owe her this. I failed her. Let her go."

"If she lives, you will die, I will die, and the Fan family will all die!"

Hua Niang could not hide the jealousy on her face. She glared at Zhu Yuyan hatefully. Vines grew under her feet and disappeared into the soil, spreading silently behind Zhu Yuyan.

"No, as long as we keep her life, we can let her take the Forget-Your-Worry Pill and forget what happened today. Naturally, it won't affect us..." Fan He said.

Just as he finished his words, vines sprouted out from the ground behind Zhu Yuyan. The swaying vines instantly turned into hard swords and stabbed straight into the back of the person in front of him.

At the same time, a faint white light lit up, and the man standing in front of Hua Niang took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it fiercely in Hua Niang's chest!

"Fan He! Hua Niang!"

"Yuyan!"

The people from the Yan family and the Fan family were stunned by the scene before them and could not help but stop fighting. Even the people from the Yunshan School were looking at the scene in front of them in shock!

"Shape-shifting Talisman!" Elder Wang blurted out.

No one present had expected that this woman with a round face, petite figure and always timid look would decisively use the Shapeshifting Talisman at the critical moment to switch her and Fan He's positions, so that Fan He was pierced directly into the heart by Hua Niang's vines and fell to the ground covered in blood.

After using the talisman, Zhu Yuyan did not hesitate at all and stabbed the dagger into Hua Niang's chest with a swift and accurate movement.

"Ah!" Hua Niang screamed in pain, and swung the vine in her hand, knocking Zhu Yuyan in front of her away.

"It's actually a demon!"

Fu Lingchen looked at the hole in Hua Niang's chest, but what flowed out was not blood, but green liquid. He had been in the demon world for many years and judged at a glance that Hua Niang was a demon, but he didn't know what method she used to cover up the demonic aura on her body.

Hua Niang used all her strength in this attack, not holding back at all, but she didn't expect that it would backfire on Fan He. She ignored her own injuries, staggered to Fan He, knelt on the ground, picked up Fan He, and called out with tears in her eyes: "Brother Fan! Brother Fan!"

Fan He was so injured that he couldn't speak, and blood was gushing out of his mouth. He looked at Zhu Yuyan in shock. He didn't expect Zhu Yuyan to plot against him just after he saved her.

Hua Niang followed his gaze, staring at Zhu Yuyan with hatred, and shouted, "Brother Fan risked exposing the Fan family to save you, and you actually killed him!"

"...Weren't you the one who killed him?" Zhu Yuyan said indifferently, her face looking extremely calm, without any emotion visible.

Hua Niang was choked by her words, and then became even more furious: "It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, how could I have hurt him!"

"Would I not hide if I saw you hurting me? If you hadn't attacked him, he wouldn't have died!"

"Shut up!"

"...Why...why?" The seriously injured Fan He finally murmured a few words. He looked at Zhu Yuyan with sadness and despair in his eyes.

"You actually asked me why?!"

Zhu Yuyan's round and innocent face showed an extremely discordant sneer, "Do you think I should be grateful to you for saving me? This battle was originally caused by your Fan family. If your Fan family had not attacked my Yan family, would I need your help? And... my people are all going to be killed by you. At this critical moment of life and death, you still want me to play love-hate games with you and this witch. Aren't you ridiculous?!"

"Fan He, the friendship we had when we were young was gone the moment you broke off the engagement. I have neither love nor hatred for you, but today your Fan family killed my clansmen. There is a deep hatred between you and me, and I wish I could kill you as soon as possible!"

Fan He was shocked by her words, then he looked up at the sky and laughed for no reason, coughing and spitting blood while laughing.

"Brother Fan! Don't die! Brother Fan!" Hua Niang cut her wrists and dripped the green liquid flowing out of her body into his mouth.

But the injury was too severe, and Fan He's eyesight gradually blurred. At the moment of death, a small figure emerged in his mind. A little girl with a round face came to him skipping, opened her big round eyes, and said in a baby voice: "Brother Fan He, can you play hide-and-seek with me?"

Fan He's painful expression calmed down, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

"Brother Fan!" Seeing Fan He die, Hua Niang completely collapsed. She revealed her true form and turned into a carnivorous plant and flew towards Zhu Yuyan.

"Yuyan, be careful!" Zhu Qiaoqiao quickly flew over to rescue her, but Zhu Yuyan was too far away from her.

"Come in!" At this time, Qu Yi, who was closest to her, pulled her into the Yunshan Sect's formation. Hua Niang's attack hit the formation hard, and the figures of everyone in the Yunshan Sect couldn't help but shake. Hua Niang was no worse than Fan He in strength.

Although Hua Niang was stabbed in the chest by Zhu Yuyan, her injury was not as serious as imagined. Moreover, she was a flower demon who practiced the way of wood and had strong vitality. Now her external injuries have healed.

"Today, you, the Yunshan Sect, will all die like the Yan family!"

As Hua Niang spoke, the petals completely blossomed, revealing densely packed sharp teeth in front of everyone, like a bloody mouth falling from the sky, wanting to swallow them directly.

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Who said that everyone in my Yunshan Sect will die?"
