"There must be a way, little immortal, please think about it carefully." As he spoke, Chen Sanyi reached out and patted Gu Changnian's shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Gu Changnian frowned and thought for a moment, and a scene that happened at Qi Guan's house suddenly flashed through his mind -
That was when he was troubled by his inner demon and attacked He Qing. Lu Li threw out the palace bell to block it and bounced back half of the damage he inflicted from the Tian Xin Jue.
Almost at the same time when Gu Changnian thought of this, Chen Sanyi's eyes also showed a hint of surprise. He took back his hand on Gu Changnian's shoulder and said with joy: "It seems that the little immortal has already thought of it?"
Gu Changnian shook his head involuntarily: "No, I didn't expect that." Not to mention that He Qing planned to enter the formation alone, how could he force Lu Li to use the magic weapon? Just threatening He Qing's life, Gu Changnian couldn't do it.
Chen Sanyi flashed a stern look in his eyes, and advised bitterly: "Little Immortal, what we have to do is actually to help Heqing Sect Master remove the obstacle of Demon Dao Shaojun. If we can't reveal his true face, Heqing Sect Master will continue to be deceived and bewitched by him. Do you want this to happen, Little Immortal?"
Gu Changnian shuddered and took a step back. He first glanced at his shoulder, then glared at Chen Sanyi: "You're trying to probe my soul?!"
Chen Sanyi laughed strangely: "My Yuling Palace is based on Yuling, this is just a trivial trick." Then he gestured to Gu Changnian to look at the sky: "Now if you and I work together, we may be able to accomplish it. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have the chance again."
"…"
"It's getting late, Little Immortal, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Yue Qingru pouted and returned to the room. She looked around but didn't see He Qing. She asked suspiciously, "Has the master left?"
Qi Guanrui nodded and said, "Yes, she went there first. We just need to pick her up at Chou hour according to the plan."
"oh."
Lu Li was stroking the porcelain pattern on the kettle. He glanced at Yue Qingru who came back alone and asked in a gentle tone, "Where's Gu Changnian?"
Yue Qingru shrugged: "I didn't find him, maybe he will be back soon."
"..." Lu Li's movements froze and his eyes darkened.
Qi Guanrui walked to the door and looked out worriedly: "It's already dark, it's really not safe outside, I'll go look for him again."
"No, no," Yue Qingru waved her hand and said, "Senior brother has a very good cultivation. He just went to check out the situation and will be back soon, right Lu Li?" But when she turned around, the person who was sitting at the small round table just now was nowhere to be seen.
Qi Guanrui felt the remaining aura in the room and couldn't help but frowned: "Demonic energy?"
Yue Qingru was also startled by Lu Li's sudden use of high-level magic, and she quickly interrupted him: "Where, where is the devil energy? Even if there is devil energy, it must have come from outside." She forced Qi Guanrui's attention: "Look, those dead people outside are gone, did they go to find the master?"
Although Qi Guanrui still patiently explained the situation to Yue Qingru, he felt a little uneasy in his heart: This Lu Li... could he be a demon cultivator?

He Qing stood in front of the pavilion above the forbidden area, the evening breeze blew up her long hair and sleeves, and made her robe rustle. The remains of countless zombies were scattered on the ground, almost forming a small hill. Copper coins were scattered everywhere, and suppressed growls could be heard from all around. The zombies were transferred in from all over the place in an endless stream.
However, these things were no problem for He Qing. Without moving a muscle, the wind blades cut those bodies that should have been buried long ago into several pieces like cutting melons and vegetables.
As for those disciples of the Yuling Palace who were controlling the zombies in the dark, He Qing was too lazy to bother with them and focused on the Yuanqiong Peak in front of him.
There are a total of six barriers outside the Yuan Dome, which change every three hours. After observing for many days, He Qing determined that the upcoming barrier is the weakest and contains the least murderous intent.
"Ka-ka-ka-ka…"
A sound like mechanical rotation was heard, and the barrier outside the Yuan Dome began to change, and the color of the barrier also turned into water waves like sea water.
He Qing waved his whisk, clearing the limbs in front of him and disintegrating a few zombies. He then stepped onto the steps, quickly twisted his fingers with one hand, focused his attention, and struck out at the palace door: "Break!"
The palace door with the spell attached to it collapsed with a loud bang, and the barrier also shook a little. Seeing that He Qing was about to break into the forbidden area, the disciples whose magic weapons had been destroyed ran out with swords in hand, trembling and pale, shouting at He Qing to stop, but no one dared to step forward.
He Qing walked straight into the door, holding a whisk and drawing a groove several inches into the ground at the bottom of the steps, and said without looking back: "Anyone who crosses this line will die."
The disciples of Yuling Palace looked at each other in panic. Some of them did not believe in it and were sure that He Qing would not dare to kill anyone directly in Yuling Palace, so they crossed the line with swords and rushed towards He Qing shouting.
He Qing still did not look back, nor did he even stop. When the disciple saw that he was about to stab He Qing, he heard a sudden sound of wind blowing past, and everything in his eyes began to spin, and in each frame of the picture, he actually saw his own body.
…
From then on, no one dared to step forward to stop it.
He Qing entered the barrier, and along the way he could hear people talking——
"Master...Master, save me..."
"Master...save me..."
"Master, save me..."
"Master…"
It was Gu Changnian's voice.
As He Qing continued to move forward, the sounds gradually generated various images, including Gu Changnian being burned in the flames, and Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu hugging and kissing each other. It was as if they were set to automatic loop and played over and over again.
He Qing also saw it. No wonder the barrier looked the weakest at this hour. It turned out that it was specially designed to attack the mind. If a person with a weak will entered at this time, as long as his mind was shaken, his soul would definitely be controlled by Chen Sanyi.
As for He Qing, although she was not a person of strong will, Chen Sanyi's attempt to disturb her mind with Gu Changnian was really a step too far. She walked forward expressionlessly, not only was there no fluctuation in her heart, but she even felt like laughing.
Chen Sanyi, this demon, wouldn't think that she would value Gu Changnian as her disciple?
"Okay, we're even..."
Hearing the words he had said before, He Qing paused, his brows slightly furrowed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
And the fact was just as she thought. Gu Changnian's voice came again: "You want to distance yourself from me, but you also want to save me again and again. What on earth are you thinking and doing? How else do you want to torture me?!"
He Qing's eyes turned cold.
Gu Changnian, that idiot! Was he caught by Chen Sanyi...?
