"What is that?"
"Among the monsters used for the assessment, this monster is not included!"
"Could this be the demon beast that came to Lingshan?!"
…
There were cries of surprise and doubt in the hall. Some wanted to enter the Monster Mountain to rescue people, while others were anxious to notify the major immortal sects to come and support. Everyone was in a panic.
"Calm down..." Xuan Qingzi used magic to amplify his voice, making everyone in the hall's ears hurt. He ordered one by one: "Lingfeng, you and Guanyue quickly go to Wulingyuan to confirm the extent of the seal damage. Du Ruo, notify all the disciples above the Jindan level in Lingshan to gather outside the Monster Mountain and wait for orders. Daoyi and Heqing, follow me into the Monster Mountain to capture the monsters. The rest of you, don't panic, and follow Chongying's instructions."
"yes!"...
Under Xuan Qingzi's clear arrangements, everyone felt much more at ease, but the atmosphere was still a little tense.
He Qing also originally wanted to go to the Monster Mountain. She was afraid that Lu Li would use magic in a hurry and expose his identity.
What He Qing didn't expect was that when she decided to follow Xuan Qingzi and Daoyi to the Monster Mountain, the strange signs in her heart became more and more obvious, and even began to affect her practice.
As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, not only was his breath blocked, but his cultivation was also slowly declining. He Qing had a vague suspicion that something was wrong.
She tentatively flew towards Wulingyuan. Sure enough, after only walking about a hundred or eighty meters, the abnormal situation improved significantly.
He Qing was stunned on the spot——
This feeling of being out of control of the magic was exactly the same feeling she had when she wanted to kill Gu Changnian.
Sensing He Qing's abnormality, Xuan Qingzi and Dao Yi turned back and frowned, "What are you waiting for? Did you find anything wrong?"
He Qing swallowed hard, the fear in her heart was like a huge wave, but she couldn't show it...
When she first came here, she had guessed that there were only two possibilities for why she could not kill Gu Changnian. One was that the male protagonist could not die, and the other was the original owner's determination to protect his beloved disciple.
Now it seems that the original owner had tampered with this body, binding all the power of this body to Gu Changnian's life and death!
In the book, there is no such plot at all...
How did the original owner do it? It's too outrageous...
He Qing thought that her cultivation was weakening at a very fast rate. If Gu Changnian died, it would be fine. But if she returned safely and her cultivation was reduced to nothing, wouldn't she be ready to be killed by Gu Changnian? She couldn't take this risk!
He Qing took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down, and nodded to Xuan Qingzi, "Master, I still need to go to Wulingyuan to take a look."
This is the only choice she can make at the moment, she must go to save Gu Changnian.
"What?" Daoyi asked in surprise, "If the seal of Wulingyuan has been broken, it will be useless for you to go there. If the monster in Monster Mountain is really the demon god's monster, we don't know if the three of us can defeat it. You…"
"Sorry," He Qing interrupted Daoyi directly and said with a wooden face: "I have my own difficulties, I hope you two can understand." After that, he no longer hesitated and went straight to Wulingyuan.
But as she turned around, she used one hand to make a gesture and sent a letter to Lu Li who was trapped in Monster Mountain -
"I'll be back soon."
Looking at He Qing's hurriedly leaving back, Xuan Qingzi shook his head in disappointment: "I thought she really changed her mind, but I didn't expect that she is still stubborn and stubborn."

Screams and wails were heard everywhere in the Monster Mountain.
At first, these young disciples thought that this giant beast, about three meters tall, with crimson-purple skin, was a monster used to test them. But when the monster severely injured several of them with one claw, everyone came to their senses.
This is not a test at all, this is a monster that accidentally entered the Monster Mountain!
At this moment when their lives were at stake, most people had already forgotten everything they had learned and were just trying to escape for their lives, leaving only the disciple of Tianshu Sect who used the compass, Yue Qingru, and Chen Yue to try their best to resist.
Even though they were unable to fight back, they managed to hold the monster back for a while, allowing the others to distance themselves from the wounded.
The monster roared angrily towards the sky, and its roar was deafening, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. All the people nearby were shocked to the point of spitting blood.
The disciple of Tianshu Sect was hit by a punch and fell to the side. He covered his chest and shouted with difficulty: "Hide quickly!"
Hearing the cry, Yue Qingru and Chen Yue immediately jumped away, one on the left and one on the right, and hid in the bushes nearby.
"Ding-ling... Ding-ling..."
What no one expected was that the monster, which had been going crazy before, suddenly calmed down, hunched its spine, and looked towards the highest point of the Monster Mountain. Its huge nostrils flared, as if it was sniffing something.
The next moment, the monster walked towards the top of the mountain, and its huge body shook the earth as it walked.
As the monster walked away, all the young disciples who had escaped death also emerged from behind the shelters of various stones and bushes.
I don't know who whimpered first, but then there were crying sounds one after another.
Yue Qingru let out a long sigh and wiped the blood off her face before she could focus on looking for Lu Li. However, after asking around, no one had seen him.
How could this guy run so fast? He even disappeared without a trace. Yue Qing thought.
When the disciples of Kaiyang Palace gathered the wounded together, they were about to send messages to their respective masters when they saw from afar two figures with aura of excitement coming flying in. They were Xuan Qingzi and Daoyi.
"Master!"
"Master!"
…
When they saw their elders, these young people burst into tears out of fear and rushed to tell what had happened.
Xuan Qingzi raised his hand to stop everyone and said solemnly: "You guys should leave first. Your brothers and sisters are waiting outside to meet you." Then he asked: "Are all the people here?"
Yue Qingru raised her hand and said, "Lu Li hasn't come back yet."
※
On the top of Monster Mountain, Lu Li stood tall with his hands behind his back, his hair flying, looking indifferently at the sea of clouds below. The wind whistled in his ears, blowing his robe and making the palace bell on his waist tinkle.
A moment later, there was a loud sound of footsteps behind Lu Li, accompanied by the roar of monsters, getting closer and closer.
But Lu Li never looked back.
It was not until the demon beast came within a few feet, bringing with it a fierce murderous aura, that Lu Li lightly uttered two words -
"Chi Xiao."
The voice was very soft, but it revealed a powerful aura.
Suddenly, the monster's sharp claws stopped behind Lu Li's head, but soon, it turned around and grabbed Lu Li in its hand, lifting him into the air.
"Chi Xiao." Lu Li called again, and whispered expressionlessly in the palm of the monster: "Do you want to die?"
