Although Miao Xiaodie's complexion wasn't good, she still said, "Don't worry! I'm fine. Now you just need to slowly withdraw your sword energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jiantang nodded, "When I sheathe my sword, there will be a surge of sword energy. You'll definitely have to watch it!"

Miao Xiaodie nodded, then focused even more intently on circulating her energy. But just as Liu Jiantang was about to sheathe his sword, Miao Xiaodie suddenly called out, "Wait...wait...I feel like something's not right..."

Liu Jiantang glared at her, forcibly suppressing the sword energy he was about to retract, "Don't cause any trouble at a time like this!"

Miao Xiaodie didn't answer, but her eyes suddenly became bloodshot and red, and blood began to flow from her mouth and nose. She seemed to realize something was wrong and glanced at Bai Yao not far away. But with lives at stake, she dared not relax and immediately shouted, "Liu Jiantang, sheath your sword!"

Upon hearing her shout, Liu Jiantang disregarded everything else and immediately sheathed his sword.

The next moment, Miao Xiaodie was injured by the sword energy and immediately collapsed, spitting out blood. Liu Jiantang's expression changed, and when he looked down, he saw that Xiao Yuhan, who was lying in front of him, was also bleeding from his seven orifices, and his face was getting paler and paler.

"Junior Sister! Come quickly and take a look!"

Nangong Ling'er noticed that things had changed and immediately ran to Xiao Yuhan to examine him.

At this moment, Miao Xiaodie collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and looking at Bai Yao in disbelief, "What...what did you do?"

Bai Yao, who was not far away, was stunned. "I...I didn't do anything?"

"Bullshit! The demonic power within you has been influencing my faith power from the very beginning. Isn't Xiao Yuhan your master? How dare you attack me now? Could it be that you're also from the Heavenly Demon Valley?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Liu Jiantang turned to look at Bai Yao, but his gaze quickly fell on Miao Xiaodie. "I might believe other things, but I don't believe that Junior Sister Bai Yao would harm Junior Brother Xiao. She has no reason to stop you from treating Junior Brother Xiao! Miao Xiaodie, what tricks are you playing?"

"I'm playing tricks? Liu Jiantang, you really don't appreciate kindness. I told Nangong Ling'er before that this little girl's power might be uncontrollable, but you didn't believe me."

Liu Jiantang frowned. He stepped forward to examine Miao Xiaodie's injuries and found that she had indeed suffered severe internal injuries. Even though he believed Bai Yao in his heart, he still turned to Bai Yao and asked, "Junior Nephew Bai Yao, did you really do this?"

Bai Yao panicked and shook her head, instinctively taking a step back. "Yao... Yao'er really didn't... Uncle Liu... please believe Yao'er..."

However, Bai Yao soon seemed to realize something and quickly came to the small boat. Seeing Xiao Yuhan bleeding from his seven orifices, her eyes immediately reddened, and she was completely flustered. "Junior...Junior Uncle, how is my master?"

Nangong Ling'er looked grave as she focused her energy on healing Xiao Yuhan. She said coldly, "Senior Brother Liu, no matter what, keep an eye on Miao Xiaodie, and... and Yao'er. None of them can leave. Senior Brother Xiao's life hangs by a thread. I need to concentrate on healing him. No one can disturb us during this time!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang understood his junior sister's meaning. He then grabbed Miao Xiaodie and Bai Yao, one in each hand, and flew to the shore. "Junior sister! Focus on healing them. I'll keep an eye on them. No matter who's behind this, no one will bother you from now on!"

On the shore, Bai Yao was filled with worry, but Miao Xiaodie stared at her with extreme vigilance. Liu Jiantang observed their reactions and found that they were both normal, and neither of them seemed to be pretending. He became increasingly suspicious.

But he still couldn't just ignore what had just happened. He thought about it carefully. If Miao Xiaodie really wanted to do something, why did she suddenly stop him when he was about to sheathe his sword?

Is it really that easy to kill Xiao Yuhan? All she had to do was stop at the crucial moment. But Miao Xiaodie was clearly injured by her own sword energy, so why did she say that Bai Yao influenced her?

Bai Yao's demonic power was clearly so restrained, and there was no sign of her attacking Miao Xiaodie, which made Liu Jiantang even more puzzled.
