She killed all the outer disciples of the Qiyun Sect when she was drawing their blood, and the inner disciples had been turned into blood slaves. The only ones who could be called were their daughter Fan Yingtan and Qin Fan.

Qin Fan had been missing for several days, so the only person they could call was Fan Yingtan.

When Li Fu found Fan Yingtan, she was preparing to absorb the life essence of the blood slave.

Li Fu quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Tan'er, you can't inhale this, it will lead you astray."

"What does it have to do with anything?" Fan Yingtan said, reaching for another inhale.

Li Fu grabbed her arm, tears glistening in her eyes, "Tan'er, I haven't seen anyone since I entered this path. Do you want to live in darkness like me?"

Fan Yingtan pursed her lips tightly, "But once you're truly powerful, who would dare say otherwise?"

“Mother is already at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, but she can only hide in the Qiyun Sect.” Li Fu released her and drove away the blood slave.

"Although Mother is now the strongest in the Ten Domains, she is still no match for the combined attack of the masses. She can only cultivate in secret and slowly. Only when she reaches the Immortal Rank can she step into the public eye."

"If you don't achieve that, you can only hide in the shadows and eke out a living."

"Tan'er, listen to your mother. Unless absolutely necessary, you must not touch any evil cultivation techniques."

"Your father is trapped. Only you can save him. Go and save your father quickly."

Fan Yingtan looked at her for a while, hesitated, and finally left.

After she left, Li Fu's eyes welled up with hatred, but she concealed it.

When Yan Xi saw the little boy standing next to Shu Jianyue, she couldn't help but pout, "Mom, who is he?"

Shu Jianyue subtly nudged Yu Chuan, signaling him to explain.

Yu Chuan glanced at his mother, sighed, and led Yan Xi aside to explain slowly.

Shu Jianyue looked at Chongjiu and asked, "How is it? What's the situation inside?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "That Fan Shunlai is not an evil cultivator, but that evil cultivator should already have reached the Nascent Soul stage."

"The Qiyun Sect was almost wiped out."

"So that means there are still surviving disciples?"

Shu Jianyue frowned and looked in the direction of Qiyun Sect. "I wonder if this evil cultivator is related to the evil cultivator that Elder Lei was investigating?"

Chong Jiu looked at her, "Shall I go take another look?"

"No need, I can just use my mental energy to probe." Shu Jianyue said, about to use her mental energy to probe.

Chong Jiu pulled her back and said, "There's no need to probe anymore. You used your spiritual power to look before when we came, but you couldn't see anything. This shows that spiritual power can't detect anything."

Shu Jianyue withdrew her mental energy and glared at him.

Chong Jiu smiled, wanting to pinch her cheek, but refrained, and looked at Wu Yan, asking, "Are you planning to adopt him?"

Shu Jianyue thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a disciple? Would you like to take him as your disciple?"

He should have more to teach, and she herself doesn't have many cultivation techniques in her collection, but she does have a bunch of spiritual artifacts and pills.

Chong Jiu's brow twitched. "You want me to take him as my apprentice?"

Shu Jianyue glared at him. "It's not that I want to, but I'm asking if you want to take him in. If you don't, then I will. However, there's not much I can teach him; I don't have much of a foundation."

Chongjiu looked at Wuyan and asked, "What do you think?"

Wu Yan looked at Shu Jianyue and said, "I want to become your disciple."

"But there's not much I can teach you." Shu Jianyue was afraid she wouldn't be able to teach him well, after all, both children were raised in a free-range manner.

They all rely on their own bloodline to cultivate, but this is different; once someone is accepted as a disciple, they have to be taught.

Wu Yan shook his head and looked at her expectantly, "It's okay, I can learn it myself."

Chong Jiu pursed his lips and said nothing more.

In the end, it was Shu Jianyue who accepted him as her personal disciple.

Yan Xi returned and looked at Wu Yan for a while. Seeing that there was a ribbon tied around his eyes, she asked, "What happened to his eyes?"

Wu Yan shook his head, "My eyes are fine."

Although Shu Jianyue didn't know why he had taken it off and then tied it back up, she didn't ask him. He would tell her when he wanted to.

"From now on, you'll be fellow disciples, so you must help each other, understand?"

The three nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Xi also gave some of the spiritual artifacts that Shu Jianyue had given her to Wu Yan.

Although he doesn't have any cultivation level yet, he can still use it for self-defense.

Shu Jianyue looked at Qi Yunzong and said, "Oh, so you're getting ready to run away."

Chong Jiu looked over and said, "Judging from that sinister aura, the one leading it is that evil cultivator."

"Judging from the blood aura emanating from her, the destruction of Baichuan City must have been her doing."

"We can't let them get away." If they didn't see it, so be it; but if they did, there's no reason for them to let it go.

“They’re here,” Chong Jiu said, watching the approaching group of people.

Shu Jianyue also looked over, wondering how their discussion about the Gu poison had gone, what agreement they had reached, and why they had arrived so late.

"Chaotian, you take them back first, we're going to catch that evil cultivator."

He nodded to the sky, and without even asking Wu Yan, he picked him up.

Wu Yan froze for a moment, his hands clenching into fists.

"Mother, can't we go and take a look?" Yu Chuan really didn't want to go back; he also wanted to go fight.

Shu Jianyue tapped him on the head. "Stop thinking about fighting all the time. Go back first today. We'll call you next time there's something fun."

Seeing that Chongjiu was also looking at him like that, Yuchuan had no choice but to go back.

After they left, Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu chased after the evil cultivator in the direction he had fled.

No sooner had Shu Jianyue and the others left than Xin Yue and his group arrived at Qiyun Sect.

When they saw the blood slaves blocking the way outside, what else could they not understand?

The destruction of Baichuan City was indeed related to the Qiyun Sect.
