Yue Qingru's increasingly tall body formed a huge shadow, slowly covering the people nearby. Gu Changnian was dumbfounded in shock.
Until the moment before Yue Qingru transformed, he still refused to believe that his own disciple sister was actually a half-demon, but He Qing's calmness forced him to accept the fact: Yue Qingru was a half-demon, and the master had known about it for a long time.
He Qing sighed as he looked at Yue Qingru who was beginning to lose control, then he twisted his fingers with one hand and summoned a golden confinement spell like a fishing net, which he casually threw over her body to tie her up. He then turned around and looked at the Yuling Palace disciples who were ready to take advantage of the opportunity.
She said, "Aren't you trying to get rid of the demon?"
The familiar-looking disciple shouted, "I didn't expect that the Yaoguang Sect, which is known as one of the five great immortal sects, would actually associate with a half-demon. The other sect leaders are on the way. This wolf demon can't get away!"
He Qing smiled: "Who said she was going to run away?" Then he raised one hand.
"Master!" Gu Changnian grabbed her and reminded her, "Those magical instruments will suck away your cultivation if you come into contact with them."
He Qing glanced at him in confusion: "Do I need to touch those things?" As soon as he finished speaking, countless wind blades shot out from the front of He Qing, cutting down everything standing within a few hundred meters in front of him, and even the trees in the forest were broken into two.
The speed was so fast and the power was so great that in the blink of an eye, the disciples of Yuling Palace had no time to fight back. They could only duck down to avoid the attack, and all the magic weapons that they couldn't control were broken into two.
The magic weapon's cloak fell off, revealing the deathly gray faces under the moonlight. The pupils were cloudy, and the area below the nose was covered by a mask woven with copper coins. The spirits in the corpses flew out, and the stench of corpses spread everywhere.
Gu Changnian stared absentmindedly at the almost flattened forest in front of him, and silently let go of the hand that was holding He Qing——
With Master's level of cultivation, how could he be... worried?
He Qing held Yeying and swung it lightly, and the tail flew out like spider silk, entangled those disciples of Yuling Palace. The red light followed Yeying all the way, and when it was about to enter the bodies of those disciples, a sound of breaking wind was heard in the air, and the tail was cut off with a swish.
He Qing stared at the peach wood sword that was inserted into the soil and was shaking slightly. His eyes were slightly stern, and he immediately made a gesture and struck in the direction of the magic fluctuations.
"He Qing!"...
As Guanyue and others shouted, Xuan Qingzi opened two barriers on the left and right in the air and took the damage from Heqing and Chen Sanyi.
"He Qing," Guan Yue rushed to He Qing, turned his back to Chen Sanyi and whispered to her, "Don't be impulsive."
Chen Sanyi landed on the ground right after him. When he saw He Qing, he was surprised and said, "Huh? How come it's the head of He Qing?"
He Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Sanyi, then looked at Guanyue who kept winking at him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly forced a smile: "So it's Taoist Master Chen?"
Chen Sanyi bowed his hands with an apologetic look and said, "Oh, what a misunderstanding. My disciples said they sensed a demonic aura near the North Peak, so I thought the people fighting them were the demon's accomplices, so I took action in a moment of desperation."
"Monster?" He Qing imitated Lu Li and spread his hands innocently: "Where did the monster come from?"
Everyone looked towards the golden net behind He Qing, only to see a tiny wolf cub trapped in the huge confinement spell.
He Qing said "Oh" as if he had suddenly realized something, then he put away the spell, held the little wolf cub in his arms, and said with a smile as bright as spring breeze: "I came out to walk the puppy, but I didn't expect to alarm Taoist Chen."
Puppy Yue Qingru: Awooo! (I am a wolf!)
Everyone: ...
Xuan Qingzi had just taken two blows head-on, and now he saw He Qing pointing at the wolf and accusing the dog. He was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He recited "The Five Great Immortal Sects are of the same blood" five hundred times in his mind before he said to Chen Sanyi: "Master Chen, let's go back to the mountain first?"
Chen Sanyi bowed slightly and nodded, "Okay, okay." Then he ordered his disciples who were scared out of their wits, "Why don't you leave quickly? You are embarrassing yourself!"
Daoyi led Chen Sanyi to walk ahead. When they were far away, Xuan Qingzi covered his chest and started to cough violently. While coughing, he did not forget to point his index finger at He Qing and said, "Good, good, you have improved your cultivation so much, but you didn't let us know."
He Qing said nothing, just stroked Le Qingru again and again.
Guan Yue said, "Give it to me."
Guanyue thought that He Qing might not know the true identity of Yue Qingru, and he subconsciously protected his apprentice because the incident happened suddenly. But since Yue Qingru's identity as a half-demon had been exposed, it was impossible not to deal with it.
Not only Guanyue thought so, but several other leaders also thought so. However, Heqing directly refused and said, "Thank you, I can hold her."
Several leaders: ...
Xuan Qingzi was so angry that he coughed even harder: "This is, cough cough! Is this a question of whether or not you can hold her?! What do the people of Guanghan Sect and Yuling Palace think of you defending her so blatantly? Cough cough cough!"
He Qing was in a bad mood and didn't intend to say much. She originally wanted to destroy the cultivation of those disciples of Yuling Palace, but Chen Sanyi interrupted her and attacked first. If Xuan Qingzi and others hadn't stepped forward to stop her, she would have definitely competed with Chen Sanyi today.
That night, as Xuan Qingzi was injured and needed Chong Ying's help to recuperate, he was unable to take charge of the situation and resolve the "misunderstanding", so the matter was temporarily postponed.
Yue Qingru returned to Beifeng safely, and no one could persuade He Qing to hand her over.
He Qing grabbed Le Qingru by the scruff of the neck, brought her to his room, and threw her under the bed. Without saying anything, he just closed his eyes and meditated.
Yue Qingru had a sharp intuition and realized that his master was angry with him, so he did not dare to make a sound and curled up at He Qing's feet until dawn.
The full-moon night ended, and when the first ray of morning light penetrated the window paper, Yue Qingru had already regained her human form, naked, hugging herself and huddled under the bed.
He Qing opened her eyes, shook her head helplessly, and used magic to control the quilt on the bed to cover her.
Yue Qingru woke up with a start. After confirming that she was in human form, she sat up wrapped in a quilt and looked at He Qing's face cautiously.
He Qing asked coldly: "Did I tell you that you can't leave my side when you transform?"
Yue Qingru nodded pitifully.
"Then why did you run out alone?"
Yue Qingru murmured with his ears drooping, "I see that you and Brother are very wary of the people from the Yuling Palace, afraid of being discovered by them..."
He Qing got even angrier after hearing this: "Are you afraid of being discovered by them, so you run out of Beifeng alone?"
Yue Qingru was silent for a moment, then said, "I originally wanted to wait for you, but when I saw you enter Lu Li's room and set up a barrier, I thought you had something important to deal with, so... I didn't want to disturb you."
