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

At the moment when the tranquility was quietly broken by a subtle breath, Zou Mubai, who was originally immersed in his own world in the house, seemed to be gently pulled by an invisible silk thread.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and his eyes penetrated the gauze of the paper window and looked at the vast and unknown world outside the house.

Without any hesitation, his figure flashed, like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, or like the brightest meteor in the night sky. In an instant, he left a faint afterimage on the spot, and the whole person disappeared in the house, leaving only a trace of emptiness and the gradually dissipating spiritual fluctuations.

A quarter of an hour might be just a short rest for ordinary people, but for a practitioner like Zou Mubai, it is enough to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and explore countless secrets.

Relying on his keen perception of the aura, he sped all the way and finally arrived at the edge of Lingyun Sect, in front of a valley that was hidden by dense forests and seemed particularly deep and mysterious.

The valley is shrouded in mist, as if nature has deliberately covered this land with a mysterious veil.

Zou Mubai stopped and stared at the vast, yet heart-poundingly quiet valley in front of him, his brows furrowed and his eyes flashing with complex light.

He tried to use his spiritual sense to capture the fleeting breath, but found that it was like morning mist, quietly dissipating when the sun first appeared, leaving no trace.

"Strange, I could clearly sense the existence of that power before, but why does it seem like it has never appeared and has completely disappeared?" Zou Mubai murmured to himself, his tone filled with both confusion and unwillingness.

After standing for a long time, Zou Mubai's figure looked particularly lonely in the morning light of the valley.

He closed his eyes and tried to capture that familiar yet distant breath again, but unfortunately, there was no other unusual movement except the morning breeze and the occasional bird song.

He sighed softly. Although he felt unwilling, he knew that it was meaningless to stay any longer. So he turned around and slowly left this mysterious valley with heavy steps.

The dawn of the second day came quietly, and a gentle pale light appeared in the sky.

He Lian'er slowly walked out of her mysterious jade pendant space. In front of her eyes was a dazzling sunlight, which formed a sharp contrast with the quietness in the space.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, adjusting to the sudden light, and a sense of relief welled up in her heart.

"Fortunately, I was more careful when I was practicing last night." He Lian'er thanked herself secretly.

Last night, when she noticed that the originally dense demonic energy around the cave began to inexplicably decrease, she immediately became alert.

She knew very well that if she continued to practice in an environment with thin demonic energy, the lack of demonic energy might cause the meridians in her body to reverse, which would be an extremely dangerous situation.

Therefore, she decisively chose to enter the jade pendant space, where there was stable and pure energy for her to practice, thus avoiding this potential crisis.

But what she didn't know was that it was because she hid in the jade pendant space in time that Zou Mubai returned empty-handed.

He Lian'er stood at the entrance of the cave. The morning breeze gently brushed across her face, bringing a fresh and slightly cool air. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if all the fatigue from the night had dissipated a lot with this breath.

Her mood also became relaxed and happy.

Just as she was about to leave the cave, a subtle but noticeable sound of footsteps suddenly came from the dense forest not far away, accompanied by a man's heavy breathing, breaking the surrounding silence.

He Lian'er's alertness was instantly aroused, and she immediately realized that someone might be approaching this side.

Without a moment's hesitation, she quickly turned around and retreated into the shadow of the cave. Using the short time, she changed out of her striking clothes and put on a tight black dress and black hat at an astonishing speed.

Just as she was about to quietly leave the cave and find a new hiding place, the man had apparently discovered her trail.

His rapid breathing came closer and closer, accompanied by a deep but powerful cry: "Who! Who's there?"

Immediately afterwards, a talisman flashing with strange light cut through the air, bringing with it the sound of breaking wind, and headed straight towards He Lian'er.

He Lian'er's heart trembled, and she quickly determined the flight trajectory of the talisman. She cleverly used the rocks at the entrance of the cave as a cover, rolled sideways, and easily avoided the talisman.

The talisman drew a dazzling light in the air, heading straight for He Lian'er, but she was agile and had already used the cover of the woods to easily avoid the attack.

The talisman missed its target and hit a thick tree trunk weakly, then dissipated in a wisp of smoke.

The talisman drew a dazzling arc in the air, and finally crashed weakly into a big tree next to the cave, bursting out with a dazzling light and a deafening roar.

He Lian'er took advantage of the cover of the talisman explosion and shuttled through the woods like a ghost, running quickly in the opposite direction of the man.

"Hmph, you think you can fool me with just a trick?" Xu Chong snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with not being able to hit the target in one shot.

His cultivation was not low, and he could vaguely sense that the other party had not really gone far away, but was moving skillfully through the woods, trying to get rid of the pursuit.

He Lian'er was secretly alert in her heart. She didn't want to have a conflict with this sudden man. After all, if her whereabouts were exposed, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

She quickened her pace and, using her familiarity with the terrain, constantly changed directions in an attempt to completely shake off the person behind her.

However, Xu Chong did not seem to give up easily. He chased after her relentlessly, throwing out a few talismans from time to time as a test, trying to force out He Lian'er's true location.

The forest was filled with the roar of exploding talismans and the rustling of branches as the two men chased and fled.

During this tense and exciting confrontation, He Lian'er suddenly came up with an idea.

She stopped and quickly set up a simple illusion array behind a hidden bush, creating an illusion that looked like an exit but was actually a trap.

After everything was arranged properly, she deliberately made a little noise to lure the man over.

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Chong followed the sound and approached with a vigilant look on his face.

When he saw that there seemed to be a shortcut leading to the outside world ahead, a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes, and he stepped into the trap set by He Lian'er without hesitation.

As he stepped into the illusion, the scenery around him began to distort and deform. He suddenly felt dizzy and lost his sense of direction.

He Lian'er took this opportunity to quietly leave the dense forest from the other side.

When Xu Chong finally broke free from the illusion, the man in black was nowhere to be seen.

He looked at the empty forest path with a gloomy face, feeling secretly annoyed. But when he thought that the spell was made by He Ronger, he secretly rejoiced for a while.

He turned around and seemed to step on something. When he looked down, he found it was a jade pendant of fine quality!
