Li Yifeng will never forget this face.

Whenever it is late at night, or when my thoughts are in a mess, that face always quietly emerges, with the amazement of the first sight and the subsequent complex emotions, interweaving into a web that is difficult to untie.

Recalling that afternoon half a month ago, when the sun was shining and the breeze was not dry, he went with Senior Sister Yan to look for Senior Brother He.

At that time, his heart was full of admiration for his senior brothers and sisters and the desire to follow them.

It was just that Senior Sister Yan admired Senior Brother He and didn't like him coming along and getting in the way, so she wanted to send him away, saying that she found him annoying.

He was also curious at the time, so he didn't go far, but just found a hidden place to stay for a while.

At that time, he saw Senior Brother He and Senior Sister Yan standing opposite each other and talking for a long time. Although he didn't hear what they were talking about, it seemed from their expressions that the conversation was not pleasant.

Just when he wanted to jump out and say a few words for Senior Sister Yan, a woman walked out of Senior Brother He's yard.

Her appearance was like the most gorgeous flower in spring. Her smile and frown not only attracted his attention but also deeply touched his heartstrings. At that moment, he seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat, strong and clear, which was the purest yearning and admiration for beautiful things.

Upon learning that He Lian'er was actually Senior Brother He's biological sister, and also the widely-known "lucky star" of the Seven Mysterious Sect in the spiritual world, Li Yifeng couldn't help but feel more emotion and respect in his heart.

Such an identity and such a face made her image in his heart more three-dimensional and more unattainable. However, this admiration, like a weed, quietly took root and sprouted in his heart, and it was difficult to stop it.

He understood that there were thousands of mountains and rivers between him and He Lian'er, not only the gap in cultivation, but also the gap in status. But he also believed that as long as there was a dream in his heart, there would be a way under his feet. He began to practice harder, hoping that one day he could stand by her side, fight side by side with her, and face the storms of this world together.

The world is like a new chess game, and Li Yifeng’s beautiful dream had not yet been fully woven when he encountered a sudden storm.

The sect leader's notice was like a bolt from the blue, pulling He Lian'er from the clouds into the abyss - she was accused of falling into the devil's way and became a wanted criminal in the entire spiritual world.

This news was like a cold wind blowing through, freezing Li Yifeng's heart instantly.

When he first heard this, he was unwilling to believe it.

In his memory, He Lian'er was the woman with a warm smile and extraordinary talents. Her existence seemed to be the embodiment of light and hope. How could she be involved with the dark and evil magic?

However, reality is always more cruel than imagination. When the bodies of Senior Sister Yan and other fellow disciples lay coldly in front of him, all those fantasies of beauty and innocence collapsed in an instant.

He realized that he could no longer judge a person by his outward appearance, as the complexity of the world was far beyond his imagination.

Just as Li Yifeng was immersed in shock and grief, He Lian'er seemed to notice something. Her eyes, which were once as clear as water, now revealed an indescribable sharpness and alertness.

She looked around gently, and every subtle movement revealed her extraordinary cultivation and sharp intuition. Li Yifeng's heart trembled, and he quickly retracted his head that was sticking out of the wall. With his agility and familiarity with the terrain, he barely avoided her sight and escaped the crisis of being discovered.

When He Lian'er's figure completely disappeared from sight, she was walking towards the city gate outside the town, and finally stepped into the dense and mysterious forest in the back mountain.

Li Yifeng looked at the direction she left, feeling mixed emotions. He felt sorry for He Lian'er's fate, but also angry and unwilling to accept the tragic death of his fellow disciple. He knew that he had to act as soon as possible.

So, he turned around and set out on the road back to Lingyun Sect. Every step seemed extremely heavy, but his eyes became more and more determined.

He knew that he had the responsibility to report what he saw and heard today to the elders of the sect. He not only had to seek justice for Sister Yan and the sacrificed fellow disciples, but also to uncover the truth of He Lian'er's fall into the devil's way, no matter what conspiracy and secrets were hidden behind it.

After returning to Lingyun Sect, Li Yifeng did not delay for a moment and immediately reported in detail to the sect's top leaders everything that had happened.

His earnest words and sincere emotions moved everyone present.

After hearing this, the elders of the sect said that they would do their best to investigate the matter and vowed to seek justice for the sacrificed disciples. At the same time, they will also intensify the tracking of He Lian'er's whereabouts in order to bring her to justice as soon as possible and restore peace to the spiritual world.

Just when everyone had made a decision, He Tianhong hurried over after hearing the news.

As soon as he arrived, he shouted to the sect leader, "Master, wait a minute! Is there some misunderstanding about this matter?"

Hearing this, Hong Yunhui looked at He Tianhong with an unhappy expression: "Misunderstanding? If it was a misunderstanding before, how could what your Junior Brother Li saw with his own eyes this time be false?"

He Tianhong was still skeptical. He turned around and looked at Li Yifeng who was kneeling in the middle of the hall and asked, "Junior Brother Li, did you see He Lian'er kill someone with your own eyes?"

Li Yifeng's eyes were red as he shook his head: "No. But I had a stomachache at the time and left for a while. When I came back, I found He Lian'er coming out of the alley. When I came to the alley, I saw the bodies of Senior Sister Yan and the others. Who else could it be if not her?"

He Tianhong frowned: "Junior Brother Li, since you didn't see Lian'er kill anyone with your own eyes, what if someone else killed him and left, and Lian'er was just passing by?"

"Impossible!" Li Yifeng shouted, "Although I didn't see He Lian'er take action with my own eyes, I have evidence."

After saying that, he reached for the storage bag on his waist, and with a thought, the several corpses he had collected appeared neatly in the center of the hall.

When they first saw these tragic corpses, even the sect leader and several elders who had seen many big scenes couldn't help but gasp.

"This... this is Yan Mei..." The third elder walked to one of the corpses, pointed at the ground and asked tremblingly.

Li Yifeng couldn't bear it, but he had to nod: "Yes, this is Senior Sister Yan. Master, Sect Master, several elders, you can take a closer look. The wounds on Senior Sister Yan and several brothers were all caused by the talismans of our Lingyun Sect. Moreover, this disciple also picked up this at the scene."

Li Yifeng took out a corner of a talisman from his arms and handed it over.

He Tianhong's originally calm heart suddenly started to panic for no reason when he saw his own mark on the corner of the talisman.

"How...how could this happen?"

Seeing Senior Brother He like this, Li Yifeng continued to ask in a deep voice: "I know Senior Brother He will not attack his fellow disciples, but I believe Senior Brother He must have given He Lian'er a lot of talismans that you drew by yourself, right?"
