Xuan Qingzi and his group all stood there in a daze, looking at the empty cave.
After a while, Ling Fengzi finally found his voice and said, "Master, how could this happen?"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into stagnant water, instantly causing a continuous echo among the other disciples.
"Oh my god, the monster here actually escaped?!"
"And we don't know when he escaped. Could it be that he has been committing crimes outside for many years?"
"No way...we never received any news."
"Could it be... Could it be that the devil has returned?!"
"Ah?! What should I do then?"
"What should I do..."
"Quiet!" Xuan Qingzi was sweating coldly, and he managed to stay calm and stabilize the situation: "Except Ling Fengzi, all other disciples should leave the cave."
"yes."...
After all the disciples left, Xuan Qingzi took out a book that had been passed down in Tianshu Sect for tens of thousands of years from his storage bag. He flipped through it and said, "According to the records of the first generation of the sect leader, although the monsters suppressed here do not have great killing power, they have the ability to resist the seal, so we invited the Qi family to help. But now it seems that the Qi family has robbed the sect."
Ling Fengzi nodded in agreement: "Yes, if it weren't for the Qi family's mischief, how could the bronze door be intact? But Master, what should we do next?"
Xuan Qingzi stared at the book and sighed, "Qi Guanxiao and I are old acquaintances. I know that he has always been firm in his Taoism and will not easily betray the Immortal Sect. Moreover, if the demon beast is released, Lingshan will not be completely unaware of it. There is no miasma left here. It looks more like it has been moved to another place."
Ling Fengzi thought it made sense, but he still couldn't help wondering: "If it was just a transfer, why did the Qi family do this?"
Xuan Qingzi thought for a moment and ordered: "Ling Feng, you immediately notify the other four peaks' masters and ask them to meet up in Liangzhou City as soon as possible. I will lead the others to the seal site of the Northern Demon God first."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
"Wait," Xuan Qingzi raised his hand and called him. After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't use the sound transmission technique on He Qing's side. She is staying at Qi Guan's house, and the sound transmission technique cannot avoid Qi Guanxiao, who has great cultivation. No, I will take two disciples to Liangzhou City, and you and the others will go to the seal of the Demon God in the North."
"Yes, I understand."

My people?
Qi Guanxiao was horrified: This Yaoguang Sect leader was actually a demon god's man? There had long been rumors in the immortal sect that He Qing fell in love with his own disciple and was very obsessed with him. Could it be that she turned from love to hatred and was therefore summoned by the demon god to fall into the path of evil? What
surprised Qi Guanxiao even more was that as the barrier outside the room was shattered, He Qing kicked the door open with one foot. He was covered in blood, his hair was loose, and his moon-white Taoist robe was covered in blood. He stood tall, like a messenger from hell.
She actually managed to break the barrier despite such severe backlash? !
Lu Li narrowed his eyes and stared at He Qing in a daze. Due to the backlight, he could not see her face at the moment, but for some reason, he was absolutely sure -
This woman must be dazzlingly beautiful at this moment.
He Qing took each breath slowly. The spiritual energy in her sea of consciousness was agitated and restless, and she felt as if she was about to break through her inner elixir. However, she did not want to show it. She just said calmly, "Thank you for treating my disciple. I can do the rest myself." Then she stretched out her hand to Lu Li, "Come over here."
This scene made Lu Li feel familiar. When they first met, she also reached out her hand to him with such confidence.
But what was different this time was that He Qing didn't seem very patient. Without waiting for Lu Li to make a move, he walked straight over and held his hand a little forcefully, while whispering in secret: "Are you okay?"
Lu Li looked at her seriously and did not respond.
He Qing also felt the surge of spiritual energy and cultivation in Lu Li's body through their clasped hands, and couldn't help but chuckle to Qi Guanxiao: "If those demon cultivators want to go to Santu River, they will have to pass through your Liangzhou City. No wonder there was only one insignificant demon cultivator left in the city when we arrived. The others withdrew so quickly. It seems that they heard the news spread by the seniors, right?"
Qi Guanxiao glanced at Lu Li's expression, thinking about the three words "my people" that Lu Li said, so he no longer concealed his position, smiled and said: "If I had known that Master He Qing and I were of the same kind, there would not have been so many misunderstandings."
This was obviously a gesture of goodwill. He Qing immediately understood what had just happened. He raised his chin slightly and said gently, "Let's not beat around the bush. I don't know what you want to do, nor do I want to know. As for Lu Li's identity, it is still a secret between you and me. For the rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to become your fellow traveler."
Hearing this, Qi Guanxiao couldn't help but look suspicious: Isn't He Qing a member of the Demon God? Why would he clearly draw a line between himself and him, who is also a supporter of the Demon God?
But looking at Lu Li's warning eyes, Qi Guanxiao didn't ask any more questions and laughed, "I understand what Sect Leader He Qing means."
"Thank you." He Qing nodded slightly: "In that case, I will take my leave first."
"Master He Qing, please do as you please."
He Qing straightened his back and led Lu Li out of Qi Guanxiao's room, then walked out of the yard. When they reached the waterside corridor leading to the west wing, he could no longer bear it and groaned in pain, then sat on the railing under the corridor, holding his dantian.
"This old bastard..." He Qing swallowed the blood that was gushing up, and muttered with a mouth full of rust: "What a powerful barrier." Although she looked very handsome the moment before, the soul-devouring formation under Qi Guanxiao's barrier almost injured her to the point of being left with only a trace of blood. It was already very difficult for her to stand.
He Qing thought, it was a good thing that she pretended to be serious, which might have had some deterrent effect on Qi Guanxiao, right?
Lu Li looked at her for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the blood from her chin, but then he stopped his finger at her lips and said lightly: "If you can show your determination to fight Gu Changnian, you will save yourself a lot of trouble."
Such an intimate action made He Qing stunned. He unconsciously tilted his head to avoid the action and said calmly, "I have the determination, but I can't help it."
Lu Li looked at his hand hanging in the air, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but let out a sarcastic smile: "You gave up the attack on your own initiative, but you said you had no choice?"
"Ah?" He Qing was stunned for a moment: How come in the eyes of others, she looked like she had given up?
No wonder Lu Li looked at her with such an unhappy look at that time. It was estimated that not only him, but others would also think that she was still in love with Gu Changnian...
