Ye Qingcheng finally arrived in Meidu, now with two more people by her side.

They are her second disciple, Liu Ruyan, and her third disciple, Ai Youwei.

The reason he brought two disciples was...

It was because, during the search for Gu Jian, Ye Qingcheng suddenly received a message from Ai Youwei.

Ai Youwei said there was something very, very important that she insisted Ye Qingcheng return to the sect.

Ye Qingcheng was worried that something might have happened to her disciple, so she asked Feng Yantong to continue the search while she returned to the sect.

However, upon arrival, Ye Qingcheng discovered that Ai Youwei, as the third disciple, had only raised her cultivation to the Condensation Realm, and she wanted Ai Youwei to fulfill the reward she had previously promised.

Ye Qingcheng was utterly speechless.

However, after giving Ai Youwei a top-grade precious pill as a reward, she suddenly remembered that Gu Jian had always been very loving and caring towards his two junior sisters.

Since Ye Qingcheng wasn't confident she could bring Gu Jian back herself, she brought the two disciples along by promising them benefits.

She hoped they could help her persuade Gu Jian to go back.

With Ye Qingcheng, a powerful expert at the Supreme Realm, present, the three of them used a disguise spell to conceal their auras, and no demons discovered their flaws.

"Master, how has Jinling City become like this?"

"So many demons, and they even know how to do business! It's an eye-opener!"

Walking on the streets of Meidu, Ai Youwei, dressed in white, was full of curiosity and occasionally used the audio-visual jade slip to record these things.

Although Ye Qingcheng did not approve, she did not stop her, but only told her not to post it in the sect group.

Liu Ruyan also looked around curiously.

Although the Demon Kingdom was terrifying, they weren't afraid because their master was there.

Just a moment later, all three of them frowned.

It was simply because they had heard some rumors.

Regarding the rumors about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons recruiting a martial arts champion, I even heard about "Gu Jian".

Demons and monsters, or demon cultivators, are everywhere saying that Gu Jian, a retainer of the Minister of War, is a popular candidate for this year's martial arts champion examination!

Ye Qingcheng and the other two were immediately shocked.

Liu Ruyan possessed a stunningly beautiful face and a tall, slender figure. She frowned and asked, "Master, is the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom currently selecting a martial arts champion? However, they say that Senior Brother is a hot candidate for the champion. Could it be that Senior Brother has also participated in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom's martial arts champion competition?"

"Senior Brother, how did you become a retainer of the Minister of War's mansion? There must be some mistake."

Ai Youwei snorted, "How could there be a mistake? So many people are saying it, it must be true. I've known for a long time that Senior Brother isn't a good person."

"He's a hypocrite. All his kindness to us before was an act. I think he came to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons to seek refuge with the demons. It's a shame that Master sent us to such a dangerous place to find him. Humph!"

Ye Qingcheng's expression was not good. She said, "Youwei, don't make things up without evidence. This might be a misunderstanding."

Ai Youwei disagreed, saying, "So many people are discussing it, how could it be a misunderstanding? It's definitely not a misunderstanding."

At this moment, Liu Ruyan seemed to see something and said, "Master, look, that looks like... Senior Brother?"

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Ye Qingcheng was startled.

She looked in the direction Liu Ruyan pointed and saw a man in black walking out of a mansion not far away.

It was Gu Jian!

He was surrounded by a multitude of demons and monsters.

Under the incredulous gazes of the three women, the man in black led the demons past them and headed towards a restaurant.

After the man in black entered the restaurant, he smiled and chatted with the demons.

Ye Qingcheng felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had darkened instantly.

She couldn't stand and almost fell over.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Beside her, Liu Ruyan's expression also changed drastically. Seeing Ye Qingcheng's appearance, she quickly said, "Master, don't cry. If only our identities were exposed, it would be better. It seems that our eldest brother has sided with the demons. We must not let him find out. It would be terrible if he sent demons to capture us."

This city is teeming with powerful demons and monsters.

Although Ye Qingcheng possessed the strength of the peak Supreme Realm, she was suppressed by the blood-red barrier.

If they were exposed, Ye Qingcheng wouldn't be able to protect them.

Ye Qingcheng also realized the danger of this place and forcibly stopped her tears.

However, she was still in pain and heartbroken.

She couldn't believe that her most trusted disciple had done such a thing.

She came to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons specifically to find him, and even grieved for his "death".

But he had already sided with the demons.

Ye Qingcheng felt disappointed and pained.

However, in order to avoid exposing herself and her disciples, Ye Qingcheng led Ai Youwei and Liu Ruyan to retreat far away, only using her divine sense to scan the restaurant.

Seeing Gu Jian and the demons drinking and laughing together so happily, Ye Qingcheng felt even more heartbroken.

Ye Qingcheng felt a pain in her heart that felt like it was about to break, and she didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the identity token at Ye Qingcheng's waist vibrated slightly.

Ye Qingcheng glanced at the message and saw that it was from Feng Yantong.

Liu Ruyan also saw it and said to Ye Qingcheng, "Master, it's Senior Sister Feng. She seems to be urging us to go over. Why don't we go find Senior Sister Feng and meet up first?"

"We've found Senior Brother Feng and will discuss the matter further."

Ye Qingcheng was somewhat at a loss. Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, she forced back her tears and said, "Alright, let's go find Senior Sister first..."

Ye Qingcheng didn't know how she found the inn where Feng Yantong was.

She was very depressed.

Throughout the journey, Ai Youwei kept complaining and belittling Gu Jian, and Gu Jian was powerless to refute her.
