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

Yu Lu, who was standing next to Hong Bai, the leader of Mingjian Sect, had a solemn expression on her face. She meticulously glanced at the suspicious demons in black clothes and robes around her. Her eyes revealed a vigilance and determination that should not be underestimated.

Suddenly, a faint and familiar voice seemed to penetrate the noise and clamor, sounding softly in her ears, calling her name.

Yu Lu was startled and turned around quickly, her eyes eagerly scanning the crowd, trying to catch the owner of the voice.

However, looking around, she did not find anyone familiar except those indifferent or cunning demons. She couldn't help but feel a little confused, thinking that she was hallucinating due to nervousness.

Just as she was about to give up this unrealistic hope and focus her attention back on the current situation, the calling voice rang out again.

This time it was clearer and more real, as if it struck the depths of her soul with an indescribable excitement and urgency.

This voice was like a warm current that made Yu Lu's heart tremble for no reason, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her chest.

The other people around, including Sect Master Hong Bai and other disciples of the Mingjian Sect, seemed to be attracted by this sudden call. They stopped what they were doing or paused their conversation and began to help Yu Lu find the source of the sound.

For a moment, the whole scene became somewhat subtle and tense, with everyone's eyes searching for the caller who might be hiding in the crowd.

Finally, a sharp-eyed disciple of the Mingjian Sect looked past the layers of people and landed his gaze on a corner of the courtyard below.

There, a woman in a light-colored dress was standing in the middle of the yard, with a warm and bright smile on her face. She raised her arms high and waved enthusiastically in the direction of Yu Lu and the others. She looked both friendly and expectant.

"Senior Sister Yu Lu, look! Someone is calling you from below!" The disciple pointed downwards excitedly, with a hint of surprise and relief in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lu immediately looked down and recognized He Ronger standing in the yard at a glance.

She was extremely excited, as if a warm current instantly surged through her body.

She almost instinctively wanted to spread her wings and fly down, wanting to reunite with her friends immediately and share this rare joy and reunion.

However, just as she was about to take that decisive step, a steady and serious voice sounded in her ears, like an invisible barrier, firmly blocking her from rushing out.

"Yulu, don't move rashly!" There was unquestionable majesty in the voice of Sect Leader Hongbai.

He glanced sharply at He Ronger and her surroundings, secretly alert in his heart.

Although Sect Leader Hongbai recognized He Ronger at first sight, his years of experience in the martial arts world told him that things are often not as simple as they seem.

He noticed that there were several strangers standing next to He Ronger. Their identities were unknown and their intentions were unpredictable, which forced him to be vigilant in case of any sudden changes.

Therefore, he decisively called out to Yu Lu, hoping that she could remain calm and not act rashly.

However, Yu Lu was filled with joy at the moment of reuniting with her good friend, so she had no time to listen to what Sect Leader Hong Bai said.

She had only one thought in her mind, which was to fly to He Ronger as soon as possible and hug her tightly.

So, she ignored the sect leader's attempt to stop her, and flew towards the barrier below at an astonishing speed.

Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Hongbai couldn't help but feel anxious.

He knew Yu Lu's personality very well. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. However, the situation was too complicated at the moment and he couldn't let her take risks. So, he quickly used his power to prepare to stop her at the critical moment, just in case.

At the first moment, He Ronger's heart was filled with excitement and joy. She almost couldn't help cheering and welcoming the arrival of her good friend.

However, when she saw Yu Lu flying down desperately, the thrilling scene of the previous two groups of people attacking the barrier suddenly flashed through her mind. The violence and danger seemed to come again, making her mood instantly fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

She suddenly realized that the barrier at this moment was no joke, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unpredictable consequences.

"No! Yu Lu, don't come over here!"

There was a hint of urgency and fear in He Ronger's voice. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, trying to stay awake and calm through the pain.

However, Yu Lu's actions were faster than her words. She seemed not to hear He Ronger's attempts to stop her. She just kept speeding up. Her figure was like a meteor cutting through the night sky. She arrived in front of the barrier in an instant.

When she finally saw He Rong'er clearly, the brightest smile bloomed on her face: "Miss Rong! It's really you!"

Yu Lu rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to hug He Ronger tightly, however, she was blocked by an invisible transparent barrier.

Her body seemed to hit an invisible wall, slamming heavily into the barrier, and then was bounced back by a powerful force, like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

"Yulu, are you okay?"

Seeing this, He Ronger's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She called Yu Lu's name anxiously, her eyes full of worry and self-blame.

She quickly turned around and looked at Senior Brother Zou who was standing beside her, with a gleam of help in her eyes: "Senior Brother Zou, can you let Yu Lu in? We can't let her take risks outside alone."

Although He Ronger has recovered her memories from a thousand years ago, she has not forgotten the memories of this life.

In those distant and vague memories, it was Yu Lu who accompanied her through the most difficult times.

In the years before she was eight years old, if it weren't for Yu Lu's careful care and selfless help, she would have died long ago. For He Ronger, Yu Lu is not only her good friend, but also her closest relative in this world.

Zou Mubai understood He Ronger's feelings, but seeing so many people outside staring at their courtyard covetously, he finally shook his head with a sullen face: "No!"

It’s not that Zou Mubai is cruel, it’s just that Si Yao hasn’t fully recovered yet. If he lets one person in, there will be a second person who wants to come in.

In this way, their small courtyard will become a shelter that will be fought over by those disciples from other sects with lower cultivation levels.

He Rong'er also thought of this. She knew that she couldn't make things difficult for Senior Brother Zou, so she could only send a message to Yu Lu's consciousness outside: "Yulu, find a safe place to hide first. Don't risk losing your life!"

Yu Lu got up from the ground and was about to try again when she suddenly heard He Ronger's words. She pursed her lips and nodded, then turned and walked a little further away.
