Ever since the appearance of the Night Demon Lord, Pei Yun's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone. She was extremely worried. She really wanted to hide in the space regardless of anything.

But entering the space in public would be like saying that Pei Yun had a magical weapon that could defy the heavens. And what if the Night Demon Lord didn't get the soul bone and took it out on the surrounding cultivators?

As soon as Ye Chi said this, Pei Yun's heart choked instantly. Before she could react, and before she could pay attention to the eyes of the people around her, she felt a strong demonic energy carrying her towards Ye Ming...

Pei Yun's heart was filled with fear. In panic, she found that she couldn't enter the space even if she wanted to. Not only could her body move, but her consciousness was also imprisoned and she couldn't sense the spiritual palace in the space.

At this moment, a white figure used all his strength to sever the entanglement between her and the evil spirit with a sword and held her in his arms.

Pei Yun came back to her senses and was protected by Luo Rufeng and retreated to the dock. She felt a sudden warmth and wetness on her shoulder, and then she realized that Luo Rufeng was injured by evil spirit and vomited blood in order to save her.

"Your Excellency! Are you okay?" Pei Yun's eyes were slightly hot and she looked at Luo Rufeng with concern.

"It's okay." Luo Rufeng turned around and looked up at Ye Ming, protecting Pei Yun behind him.

"Your Excellency, let's give him the soul bone. This is the only way..." Pei Yun had already suffered several waves of attacks from the demons for this soul bone and was really tired.

“We can’t give it to him! Whether we give it to him or not, the demons will not let us go.” Luo Rufeng said firmly.

"I told you that I hate sword cultivators the most. Qin Gu is like this, Qin Yun is like this, and you little guy is like this too..." Ye Ming Demon Lord was displeased when he saw someone dare to intervene and stop him, and it was a sword cultivator at that. He raised his hand slightly, and a blood river formed by countless demonic energy attacked Luo Rufeng, and the surrounding low-level cultivators fled for their lives away from Pei Yun and the others.

Luo Rufeng held the sword in both hands, the strong wind blew up his hair that was scattered on his shoulders. He closed his eyes. At the critical moment of life and death, he suddenly recalled what his master said to him before his death: "... Rufeng, the world believes that spiritual root talent is the foundation of a cultivator. You have also suffered a lot from it, but I think that the heart of Tao is the most important thing for a cultivator. I hope that no matter what difficulties you face in the future, you will firmly maintain your heart of Tao..."

The body may be destroyed, but the heart of Tao is immortal!

Luo Rufeng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of firm belief. At this moment, a storm surged in his sea of ​​consciousness. His sword intent was constantly improving, and his soul was rapidly transforming! The sea of ​​consciousness gradually condensed into a sword soul in his mind, emitting a dazzling golden light...

Not only that, he had been comprehending the sword of death, and at the moment when the blood river was about to swallow him, he finally understood the entry point. The black sword light, with the meaning of endless despair and death, collided fiercely with the blood river, blocking the spread of the blood river.

City Lord Cao and masters from all the major families in Yongning City gathered here. Even the Grand Elder of Yuejian Sect and Sect Master Wu, who were nearby, came over. Everyone used their unique skills to fight against the blood river of Night Demon Lord...

If it is not stopped and allowed to develop, the blood river will engulf the entire Yongning City. Not only Luo Rufeng, but everyone in Yongning City will die.

However, the strength of the Night Demon Lord was too strong. Even though Luo Rufeng condensed the sword soul and comprehended the sword intent of death, he could only resist for a moment before the blood river broke through his defense. He was thrown out, vomited blood and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Sir!"

"Rufeng!"

Pei Yun and everyone from the Luo family flew to Luo Rufeng, and Huang Lanshi quickly took out the pill and fed it to him.

At the same time, the defenses of the various masters who were fighting against the enemy were breached by the blood river one after another. They fell to the ground from the air after being injured. The cultivators of Yongning City were filled with despair. None of them could resist the Demon Lord Ye Ming. This was a great calamity for Yongning City, and also their calamity!

Pei Yun lowered her head and shed tears silently. She lowered her eyes and took a deep look at Luo Rufeng, who was seriously injured and unconscious beside her, then suddenly stood up and flew towards the Yeming Demon Lord.

"Junior Sister Pei!" Luo Qi saw her approaching the Yeming Demon Lord alone and immediately shouted anxiously.

Pei Yun ignored him and mustered up her courage to come before the Night Demon Lord. Endless demonic energy was entangled around her, but she was determined at the moment and was not bothered by it at all: "As long as you let the people of Yongning City go, I will give you the soul bone."

"Ha!" Ye Ming stared at Pei Yun in front of him with interest, and laughed in a low voice, "Little girl, you are too confident. I, Ye Ming, have never been threatened by anyone. Whether you have a soul bone or not, it will be in my hands..."

"If you don't agree, you will never get the soul bone." Pei Yun raised her eyes and glanced at him. The soul bone was in her space, and no one else could get it except herself. Even if the Night Demon Lord got her space necklace, he couldn't open it, because this space soul palace could only be opened by the blood of the Murong family, so she was absolutely confident.

“Then…” Ye Ming paused, as if thinking for a moment, and then said with a mocking look in his eyes, “I don’t want it. Anyway, the magic bone is already in my hands, and I can use it to find my daughter’s reincarnation…”

Hearing this, Pei Yun's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists with his hanging hands, and the anger of being tricked was revealed in his eyes without any concealment.

"But... I hate people who threaten me the most, so..." Ye Ming said as his demonic energy turned into chains that wrapped around Pei Yun's neck, strangling her tighter and tighter.

Pei Yun felt that he was about to suffocate and was struggling to hide in the space spiritual palace. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the air behind him, and a man in purple clothes broke through the space and walked out.

The purple-clothed man raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and the evil chain that was strangling her neck broke automatically. After Pei Yun was rescued, she immediately retreated to the ground, coughing desperately, with a deep red mark on her neck.

“Ye Ming, you, a demon lord, actually bully a junior. Aren’t you afraid of humiliating your status?” The man in purple looked indifferent.

"Humph! Why didn't you feel like you were bullying the weak when you and those old guys from Dongcangzhou captured my daughter?"

"You have killed so many mortals, and your hands are stained with countless blood and sins. This is your karma. Your daughter was not killed by us, but by you..."

“Shut up!” Ye Ming was enraged, and the endless river of blood changed direction, immediately rushing towards the man in purple. “Qin Gu, how good are you? Your only disciple was willing to betray you and run away from the sect for my daughter. In terms of cause and effect and retribution, this is also your retribution…”

Qin Gu held his sword to meet the enemy. For a moment, the two fought fiercely. The powerful spiritual power and the powerful demonic energy collided and entangled. The aura was extremely chaotic. Half of the surrounding sky was blue and dazzling sword light, and the other half was red and rich demonic light. Even the space was occasionally broken by the two people...

The monks who were originally around had to retreat to a safe place. They all looked up at the fight between the two. Even though they could not see the two's moves clearly, they still had anticipation on their faces. Venerable Qin Gu was their only hope.

At this time, in a small town about ten miles away from Yongning City, after Pei Shi parted with his companions from the Loose Cultivators Alliance, he immediately returned to the small courtyard that he and Li Wan had temporarily rented.

"Husband, you are back so early today." Li Wan was not in the room, but standing in the yard, looking up at the dark sky in a daze. When she saw Pei Shi's figure, she came back to her senses.

"Wan'er, why did you come out?" Pei Shi saw her holding her chest and looking pale, and hurried forward to support her, "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I don't know why, but the sky suddenly got dark, so I wanted to come out and take a look. I feel a little stuffy in my chest..."

"Then let's leave quickly. I heard that demons appeared at the dock outside Yongning City and started fighting with the Taoists. Maybe the spread of demonic energy has made you uncomfortable. I have already made an agreement with the people from the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Let's go back to Qianwen City first..."

"Husband, I am the one who has dragged you down."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are husband and wife, how can we get involved?"

……

Qin Gu and Ye Ming fought for hundreds of moves, but the outcome was still unclear as before. They both snorted coldly at the same time and stopped fighting.

"Qin Gu, I will kill you one day."

"One day, you and I will have a life-and-death battle."

The two looked at each other, and the murderous intent in their eyes was unreserved.

Ye Ming lowered his head and looked down at Pei Yun again before tearing apart the space and leaving Yongning City with Ye Chi.

The moment Ye Ming looked at her, Pei Yun felt a chill instantly spread throughout her body, freezing her bones. She froze in place, not daring to move. After seeing the demons leave, she, like the other cultivators around her, breathed a sigh of relief, her legs feeling a little weak.

Qin Gu also glanced at Pei Yun indifferently, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Venerable Qin Gu!" Pei Yun hurriedly flew forward and called him. She took out the soul bone and presented it with both hands. "This is the soul bone of Venerable Qin Yun. The people of the demon clan wanted to get this soul bone, so they came to me..."

"...Give it to me?" Qin Gu glanced at the soul bone in astonishment, then raised his eyes to look at Pei Yun.

The powerful pressure made Pei Yun feel that the air around him froze for a moment. This Venerable Qin Gu had a colder temperament than Luo Rufeng, who was also a sword cultivator.

"Yes, after I got the soul bone from the Nameless Island, I wanted to give it to the Venerable if there was an opportunity..." At this moment, Pei Yun was so impatient to hand over this hot potato. Her ability could not protect this soul bone, but it was different for Venerable Qin Gu.

Qin Gu didn't know why he didn't take the soul bone right away. Instead, he stared at it for a moment, as if hesitating. In the end, he still picked up the soul bone that was emitting a bright blue light. The scenes of the past interactions between master and disciple emerged in his mind.

"Master...eat...eat...eat..."

"...Master, let's have dinner..."

"Master, this sword technique is amazing, please teach me!"

"Master, my brothers and sisters have all gone down the mountain to gain experience. When can I go down the mountain..."

"Master, look! This time I went down the mountain to the Yufeng Restaurant in Tianlan City. This is their most famous spiritual wine. I brought it back specially for you to taste..."

"Master, I deserve death. I have failed to live up to your teachings..."

……

Qin Gu came back to his senses, lowered his eyes uncomfortably, put away the soul bone, and then gave Pei Yun a bottle of pills, saying, "This is a healing pill, you can give it to your companions." Then he nodded to her, turned around, slashed through space with a sword and left.

Pei Yun didn't have time to express her gratitude before Qin Gu disappeared. She showed surprise on her face, took the pill bottle and walked to Luo Rufeng without stopping, poured out a pill and fed it to him.

In less than a moment, Luo Rufeng woke up from his coma. Pei Yun and the Luo family were happy to see this. The head of the Luo family ordered Luo Chengfeng to carry Luo Rufeng back home first.

At this point, the incident of the demons breaking into the giant ship of Baoling Pavilion came to an end, but because of the damage during the battle, Yongning City inside and outside was in a mess, many cultivators were injured to varying degrees, and even several low-level cultivators who were affected died.

Deputy Pavilion Master Wang of Baolin Pavilion promised on the spot that the injured monks could be given healing pills and the transaction would be suspended. City Lord Cao also ordered his subordinates to arrange related matters and take good care of the injured monks.

Half a month later, Yongning City finally returned to its former bustle. During this period, Deputy Pavilion Master Wang of Baolin Pavilion came to visit Luo Rufeng in person. Not only did he give him elixirs, he also compensated Pei Yun with 10,000 high-quality spirit stones.

"Miss Pei, this time it was my negligence in Baolin Pavilion that led to the infiltration of the demons and frightened you. I hope you will accept this small token of my gratitude..."

"This..." Deputy Pavilion Master Wang was a Divine Transformation cultivator, and his humble attitude really made Pei Yun a little at a loss.

"Accept it. This is also what Vice Pavilion Master Wang wanted." Huang Lanshi smiled and patted her on the back.

"Then it would be disrespectful for this junior to refuse." Pei Yun bowed.

"This is what Miss Pei deserves. It's also our Baolin Pavilion's fault..." Deputy Pavilion Master Wang smiled with his eyes narrowed.

After seeing off Deputy Pavilion Master Wang, Pei Yun returned to Luo Rufeng's yard. As usual, she went to see the injured Luo Rufeng first. After half a month of recuperation, Luo Rufeng was no longer in danger. Except for some broken meridians that still needed to be slowly nursed back to health, he looked basically the same as usual.

"Your Excellency!" Pei Yun found him in the training ground. Luo Rufeng was practicing sword skills. It was clearly just the most basic sword moves, and he did not use any spiritual power, but Luo Rufeng performed it smoothly, with each move containing a mysterious rhythm.

Luo Rufeng was also used to Pei Yun visiting him every day. He finished practicing a whole set of swordsmanship before walking towards her: "Hello, Vice Pavilion Master Wang."

"I have met him. Deputy Pavilion Master Wang has such a high level of cultivation, but he is still so polite to us low-level cultivators. He also compensated me with 10,000 high-quality spirit stones..." Thinking of making a fortune, Pei Yun smiled brightly and was very happy. She felt that she could also choose something at the auction.

Luo Rufeng's eyes lit up when she mentioned the ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "The trade fair at Baolin Pavilion is open again, you can go and have a look with Luo Qi again..."

Pei Yun thought about it and nodded, then asked with concern: "Venerable, are you feeling better?"

"... Don't worry, it's fine." Luo Rufeng glanced at her and saw that she looked guilty, so he said, "Pei Yun, my injury has nothing to do with you. Even if it wasn't for protecting you, I would fight the demons to the death. This is the oath I made on the first day I entered the sect - to protect the common people. All of us cultivators keep this in mind."

Pei Yun sincerely admired the person in front of him. Luo Rufeng was determined to follow the Tao, and his belief in protecting the people was even stronger. In this world, there were hypocritical people like Qi Hengnan and Pei Ruo who did whatever it took, and there were also people like Luo Rufeng who were determined to follow the Tao and had good intentions.

The resentment and hostility in her heart caused by the sorrows of her previous life finally dissipated completely at this moment. It is up to you to choose what kind of person you want to be. She lived like that in her previous life. Although she was framed by people like Qi Hengnan and Pei Ruo, she was not necessarily without fault.

After living a new life with an open mind and broadened horizons, she felt that there was no need to fall into endless hatred. She should find her own firm belief like Luo Rufeng...
