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

Fei Xiuwen's face was filled with disbelief, his brows were furrowed, as if he wanted to chew every word the other person said carefully before swallowing it.

"You said that this is the trace of a monster? Are you sure you are not mistaken? Have you ever seen the monster with your own eyes?" His tone was mixed with doubt and curiosity. It was obvious that he was shocked and unbelievable about such a statement.

He looked around, and every breath in the yard was extremely familiar. It was a feeling that had been deeply imprinted in his heart during his years with Ying Qi.

From the moment he set foot on this land, his heart inexplicably calmed down, because he knew that Ying Qi must be here, and the feeling of blood connection and spiritual connection could not be mistaken.

Upon hearing this, Ying Guangyuan's expression became solemn and deep, and his eyes seemed to have traveled through the long river of time and returned to that heart-pounding night.

"Of course. How could I joke about such a thing?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

“Thirty years ago, I was still young, but already a leader in our Wanjing Sect, and was fortunate enough to witness that horrific scene with several elders.

Although the demon beast was not huge, it was covered with jet-black hair, which glowed ominously under the moonlight. Its eyes were like burning coals, red and crazy. As long as humans appeared within its sight, it would attack them indiscriminately. That night, our Wanjing Sect suffered heavy losses. Several of my brothers and sisters who were on good terms with me were cruelly killed by it. "

At this point, a trace of pain and anger flashed in Ying Guangyuan's eyes. It was a deep remembrance for his deceased fellow disciples, and a deep fear of that unknown power.

"Since then, the demon beast has become a shadow in the hearts of everyone in our Wanjing Sect. Whenever it's late at night, we can always hear people whispering about it, fearing that the terrible creature will come again."

"Later, an elder proposed to use forbidden techniques to seal him, and I was one of the people involved in the sealing operation."

After hearing this, Fei Xiuwen's doubts were gradually replaced by an indescribable sense of urgency.

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes as he looked at Ying Guangyuan.

Zou Mubai's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was tightly wrapped by an invisible rope, and every beat was accompanied by a heavy echo.

This sudden change made him frown, and he searched carefully in the empty courtyard, trying to find the source of that familiar yet unfamiliar breath.

He was secretly surprised. This courtyard was clearly empty, so why was there an aura exactly like Ying Qi's? Was it an illusion? Or... was there some unspeakable secret hidden in it?

Doubts and anxieties surged in like a tide, making his thoughts chaotic and urgent.

He knew very well that this feeling was not groundless, and that something important was about to happen. Therefore, he could no longer suppress his inner anxiety, and regardless of the anxious dissuasion of the headmaster beside him, he moved and rushed to the main hall of the courtyard like an arrow from a bow.

As he moved, the icy spiritual energy surrounding his body instantly boiled, as if the harshest wind in winter was condensed into a crystal clear icicle, carrying the biting cold and overwhelming power, and approached the tightly closed door of the main hall.

The cold air not only contained Zou Mubai's profound cultivation, but also his complex and unspeakable emotions at the moment - confusion, tension, and even a hint of barely perceptible anger.

However, just as this cold air that was enough to freeze everything was about to touch the door of the main hall, something strange happened.

The door suddenly opened without any warning, as if an invisible force was pushing it from behind.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from the door at an astonishing speed and appeared in Zou Mubai's sight like a ghost.

The figure was light and agile, and every movement revealed his extraordinary cultivation and keen perception of danger. It was obvious that he had no good intentions.

Two powerful auras suddenly collided in the courtyard, causing ripples visible to the naked eye, and the air seemed to solidify at this moment.

Zou Mubai and the uninvited guest looked at each other, with vigilance and caution flashing in each other's eyes. An unknown challenge and confrontation began.

Facing Zou Mubai's powerful attack, the shadow not only did not show any intention of retreating, but instead, in an almost provocative manner, resolutely used his body to greet the icy spiritual energy that was about to devour him.

This scene made everyone present feel incredible. Even Zou Mubai himself was slightly stunned, thinking in his heart, is the other party crazy?

However, in that split second, a miracle happened.

Suddenly, a faint glow appeared around the shadow, and then an invisible and intangible isolation space appeared out of thin air, like a transparent barrier, perfectly isolating him from Zou Mubai's attack.

The icy spiritual energy that was powerful enough to freeze everything, when it touched this barrier, was as if it had encountered an insurmountable chasm. It exploded abruptly in front of the shadow and turned into countless tiny ice chips that flew everywhere.

This scene caused everyone present to fall into a brief state of shock and silence.

Fei Xiuwen's eyes were full of disbelief. He thought he would witness a fierce battle between ice and shadow, but he did not expect such an unimaginable result.

Zou Mubai's expression became more solemn. He could feel that the other party's strength was far beyond what he had imagined.

At this moment, Sect Leader Ying’s voice came from behind Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen, with a hint of trembling and urgency: “That’s it. Quickly…quickly subdue it, or the consequences will be serious.”

His voice was filled with fear and uneasiness, and he was obviously extremely wary of the existence of this shadow.

Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen looked at each other, and they both understood the firmness and determination in each other's eyes.

So, the two of them took a step forward at the same time, ready to launch another attack, vowing to completely subdue this mysterious shadow. At the same time, they also wanted to find out what secrets were in this yard.

With the joining of Fei Xiuwen, an unprecedented battle has officially begun.

Suddenly, dust flew up in the courtyard and a strong wind blew. The wind and sand blinded Master Ying who was standing in the courtyard and couldn't open his eyes.

The attacks of the two men and the beast turned into beams of light of different colors, constantly changing in the sky above the courtyard.

Because the noise here was so loud, many elders and disciples stood outside the yard not far away and watched from afar.

Hearing the noise outside the courtyard, Sect Leader Ying hurriedly left the courtyard and ordered several elders to drive away the onlookers in time.

He didn't want these people to lose their lives just because of watching the show.
