I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

"What do you mean?" He Lian'er asked with a puzzled look.

"Originally, killing a person doesn't necessarily mean death, but if you contract a bloodthirsty beast, it means that the person has demon blood, and will be hunted down by the cultivators of the entire spiritual world. Do you think Rong girl would do such a thing to cover up the truth?"

"Or do you think that the leaders and elders of the spirit world are all fools like you? Don't know how to distinguish them?"

Now He Lian'er was a little panicked.

She only wanted to put the blame on He Ronger, but she forgot that the bloodthirsty beast was a magical beast.

But now that she had said it, she couldn't take it back, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Maybe she thinks the same as you do, and thinks you won't believe what she said, so she does the opposite."

He Ronger looked at He Lianer with a strange look, which made her feel uneasy.

"He Lian'er, do you think you could have contracted the bloodthirsty beast yourself and let it bite my brother to death in order to frame me?"

"You're talking nonsense!" He Lian'er retorted immediately.

She was very excited and her eyes were a little wandering.

Hong Bo had lost his patience at this point, and he interrupted the sisters' quarrel directly: "Enough! Since there is not enough evidence for this matter at the moment, let's investigate it later. Lian'er, come back with your master!"

After Hongbai took He Lian'er away, Yuan Sheng looked at He Rong'er with a dark face: "Rong girl, tell me the truth now, is your eldest brother's death related to you?"

He protected He Ronger because he valued talent, but he was also unwilling to let any murderer go.

Even though he believed that this matter had nothing to do with He Ronger, he still felt uneasy without getting her own answer.

When He Ronger heard Sect Master Yuan ask this, she pursed her lips and hesitated a little.

She looked at Zou Mubai and Xu Chong standing beside her, as well as Yu Lu who had been defending her. Finally, she couldn't stand the uneasiness of her conscience and said, "Master Yuan, this matter is indeed related to me."

"What did you say?" Yuan Sheng stood up directly from his chair.

"Could it be that what He Lian'er said is true? You really made a contract with the bloodthirsty beast and drained your eldest brother's blood?" Yuan Sheng's voice was filled with disbelief.

"No, Master Yuan, listen to me. I have never seen any bloodthirsty beasts, and the person who bled was not me at all. I was just defending myself."

Yuan Sheng had a question in his eyes, "Tell me what's going on?"

"Master Yuan, do you still remember the two 'stealing the sky and changing the day' talismans you gave me?"

Yuan Sheng blinked a few times, and it took him a long time to remember this incident. He nodded: "Remember, that was the first time I asked you for advice on refining medicine in private, and I gave it to you before I left."

"Yes, it's those two talismans. My father and mother asked me to return to Yaofeng that day, but they actually wanted to use my blood to save He Lian'er. They ignored my wishes and wanted to use my life in exchange for He Lian'er's life, but I naturally refused. So I pretended to faint, and secretly used this talisman on my eldest brother when he carried me to bed."

"But I didn't expect that He Lian'er would use two large basins of blood to kill me, which led to my eldest brother's death from bleeding to death."

"As for why there are rumors that my eldest brother died from a bloodthirsty beast, I don't know either."

After hearing what He Ronger said, Yuan Sheng fell into deep thought.

After a while, he looked up at He Rong'er and the people around him, and said seriously: "I think the person who contracted the bloodthirsty beast must be in the spirit world. This matter concerns the safety of the spirit world. Don't tell anyone for the time being."

Several people nodded in agreement at the same time.

After He Ronger and the others left, Yuan Sheng immediately turned around and went back to his room to search.

If it weren't for what Rong Yatou told him today, he would have thought that those talismans were just a pile of useless waste paper.

He remembered that there seemed to be a few more of that kind of spell, and he must find them and study them carefully. If possible, he would also ask his junior brother to draw a few more, just in case they could be used at a critical moment.

After leaving the main hall, Master Hong went straight back to their temporary residence.

His face looked very ugly all the way. He Lian'er didn't dare to offend him and didn't say a word.

Only after Master Hong entered his room did He Lian'er heave a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards her own residence.

As soon as she walked outside her room, she saw her third brother He Xingwen standing outside the door waiting for her.

She was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it. She forced a smile and asked, "Third brother, why are you here? What do you want to talk to me about?"

He Xingwen looked at He Lian'er and said unhappily, "Where have you been? I heard that you came here early with the disciples of Mingjian Sect, but I waited for you at your door for more than an hour before I saw you."

"I...I just want to wander around Qingling Sect."

Third brother had never liked her, so He Lian'er didn't dare to tell the truth.

"My parents asked me to give this to you. They were worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to living in Qingling Sect these few days, so they sent it to you. Since you were away and they had something urgent to do, they left first."

He Xingwen expressionlessly took out a bunch of daily necessities from his storage bag and stuffed them into He Lian'er's arms.

"Thank you, Third Brother." He Lian'er put the things away and thanked him.

"It's okay, I'll go back first. The sect competition will be held in a few days, so please pay attention to your safety." After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for He Lian'er to speak.

He Lian'er looked at He Xingwen who had already walked away, with disgust and cruelty flashing in her eyes.

If He Lian'er hadn't been worried that her parents and second brother would suspect her, she really wanted to kill her third brother along with her eldest brother.

Three days later, the disciples and sect leaders of all the orthodox sects in the spiritual world gathered in the Qingling Sect.

That night, several clan leaders gathered together to discuss the content of the competition.

Ruan Xing'an, the leader of Qingyang Sect, was the first to speak: "Is there anything else we need to discuss about the written test? In previous years, we have conducted one test after another. This time, it will be the same. Each sect will select a few disciples to participate in the collective test. Those who stand out will have the opportunity to enter the Xuantian Secret Realm."

"Yes, we have done this in previous years and nothing has gone wrong." The leader of Lingyun Sect echoed.

“No, this year is different than previous years!”

At this time, the head of the Qixuan Sect, Gu, spoke up: "Everyone, don't forget that a bloodthirsty beast appeared in the spirit world a year ago. This means that the demons have infiltrated the spirit world. We must take precautions before it happens. I suggest that our disciples should be trained in advance to deal with the demons."

"Master Gu, what do you mean? How can we train in advance?"

"I remember there is a swamp at the foot of the mountain behind Qingling Sect. The environment there is very similar to the place where the demons live. We can set up the trial site there."

"No, the swamp is full of dangers. If anything happens to the disciples..." Several sect leaders immediately objected.

The ones who came with them this time were the sect’s elite disciples, so they were naturally reluctant to let them take risks.
