However, the souls of the Demon-Slaying Valley were too strange. Logically speaking, given the efficiency of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, they should have already packaged these cultivators and reincarnated them.

How could they possibly still be here? The only possibility is that someone has used magic to trap them here.

Su Xun did not come to the Demon-Slaying Valley voluntarily; rather, he was bound by Ying Yuan and used as bait to lure Li Muge there.

"Phoenix King, you are really foolish, being completely deceived by a woman like Li Muge."

Ying Yuan's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he held a cane in his hand: "This Demon-Slaying Valley is the dead end I've set for Li Muge."

"You bastard, you're nothing but Yun Qi's dog. If you have a problem, come at me, don't lay a hand on Mu Ge."

Despite his blurred vision, Su Xun immediately recognized Ying Yuan's identity.

Ying Yuan was happy to see the enemy in a sorry state: "Humans all say that the gods save all mankind. I also had an older sister before."

"She is the hero in the mouths of you mortals, who personally quelled the war and brought peace to the realms of immortals and demons."

"Ironically, she protected the world, but she caused great suffering to her family. Because of her beliefs, her family suffered endless torment and died tragically one by one."

"Phoenix King, do you think this kind of person deserves to die?"

Su Xun was imprisoned in the formation: "Since the woman you mentioned is your sister, why don't you go and ask her yourself if there's any misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding." Ying Yuan's smile was terrifying. "I want her to be tormented by the world for all eternity."

"May you suffer a terrible death life after life."

As soon as Ying Yuan finished speaking, he cast a spell and broke Su Xun's legs.

"Just wait, wait for Li Muge to come and save you. If she doesn't come, you, the dignified Phoenix King, will die from being devoured by vengeful spirits."

"But do you think she'll come?" Ying Yuan's face was covered in burns.

"I hope she won't come." Even with his leg broken, Su Xun didn't utter a sound of pain, and his expression remained normal.

Ying Yuan smiled.

"Phoenix King, you're probably going to be disappointed. Li Muge has come after all."

After saying this, Ying Yuan disappeared from Su Xun's sight.

As soon as Li Muge stepped into the Demon-Slaying Valley, he sensed something strange about the resentful aura around him.

It's obvious that someone cast a spell to forcibly keep these vengeful spirits here.

However, Ying Yuan was destined to be disappointed.

Li Muge did not follow the vengeful spirit's lead to rescue Xiaohua.

Instead, he turned around and left the Demon-Slaying Valley without hesitation.

It was clearly a trap, yet she still jumped in; she must have something wrong with her brain.

Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed Li Muge's presence leaving the Demon-Slaying Valley. He would rather die than cause Muge any trouble.

Ying Yuan miscalculated. He did not expect that Li Muge would still be so selfish as to abandon his own family.

Li Muge left, but then he came back, carrying a bunch of dirt eggs in his hand.

There's also Ghost-Faced Bodhisattva and Zuo Xia. She's not stupid. She could have easily ganged up on them, so why did she choose to fight alone?

"Son, use your abilities to fill in the talismans around this Demon-Slaying Valley for me."

"Okay, Mother, watch me." Tu Dan suddenly flew up from Li Muge's arms.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon's horns emitted a golden light.

Zuo Xia looked doubtful and chatted with Xiao Shaoyao: "Do you think such a small dragon can destroy the formation that's trapping the vengeful spirits around here?"

Little Peony nodded: "Sure, Zuo Xia, let me tell you, Uncle Banyan Tree said that dragons are very powerful. It's just a little bit of a powerful soul-trapping formation. Tu Dan will have no problem with it."

"Go, Little Earth Egg! Auntie supports you!" Little Peony cheered loudly for Earth Egg.

"Don't worry, Auntie, leave it to me." Tu Dan's face turned red, but since his skin was naturally red, he wasn't so easy to cut.

Its dragon horn flashed with golden light, and instantly all the formations that Ying Yuan had designed in the Demon-Slaying Valley were buried by soil that appeared out of thin air.

The earthworm burrowed into the soil and thrived like a fish in water.

"Charge them all in!" Li Muge ordered.

Zuo Xia and Jiang Zishi led all the disciples of the Crimson Moon Sect into the Demon-Slaying Valley.

Slay the vengeful spirits.

Li Muge arrived at the edge of the formation and was somewhat surprised to find that the center of the formation contained not a small flower, but a man. Nevertheless, she had Tudan dig a tunnel from the ground, and then she crawled through the tunnel and brought Su Xun out.

Back at the Crimson Moon Sect, Li Muge had Mo Li heal Su Xun's eyes. He then sat opposite Su Xun with a complex expression.

“You are Xiaohua.” Li Muge asked tentatively, as this man bore the location mark she had left for Xiaohua.

Could it be that Xiao Hua has cultivated into a human form? No matter how Li Muge thought about it, this was the most likely possibility.

Su Xun had no choice.

Since she chose to approach Li Muge as a bird from the very beginning, she has no choice but to grit her teeth and keep making things up.

"Yes, Sect Master, you are really smart. I am the bird you raised, but I have a name. I am not called Little Flower, I am called Su Xun."

When Su Xun said his name, he was practically gritting his teeth. Heaven knows how much he endured people calling him "Little Flower."

How devastating.

"Su Xun, since you had a name from the beginning, why didn't you say it sooner?" Li Muge asked with a smile, her voice involuntarily revealing pressure.

"And Su Xun, you should have been able to transform into human form long ago, so why are you willing to disguise yourself as an ordinary bird by my side?"

Li Muge toyed with the wine glass in his hand: "I want to know the answers to all of these questions."

Su Xun bowed to Li Muge: "I'm sorry, Sect Master, I can't tell you these things. But you must believe me, no matter when or where, I am willing to risk my life for you."

Li Muge spat out a mouthful of tea: "Hmm, that Xiaohua... no, Su Xun, we don't think we knew each other before, right? Why are you being so open and honest with me?"

Su Xun couldn't give a clear answer, and Li Muge was also unceremoniously confused. Some things, it's better not to keep digging to the bottom of things.

The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect has been so anxious these past few days that he's developed blisters on his lips because he can't recall his most valued disciple.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in months.

Suddenly, a disciple came to report that Mo Yan had been sent back by the people of the Crimson Moon Sect.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but then feared that the female demon might harm his disciple.

Fortunately, after examination, Mo Yan was found to be unharmed.

However, once he regained consciousness, Mo Yan became even more taciturn.

He seemed to have forgotten what happened with the female demon in the Crimson Moon Sect.

But this was also what the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect wanted. He ordered everyone in the sect not to mention what happened between Mo Yan and the female demon.

Those who disobey will be expelled from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

Upon receiving the news, Gong Yujia immediately rushed to the Wanfo Sect.

Although Mo Yan rejected her last time.

But she still couldn't give up. She had already missed Yun Qi, and she really didn't want to miss Mo Yan as well.

She got up three hours early to cook a bowl of chicken soup for Mo Yan, just to avoid the gossip among the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

Gong Yujia also specially presented each disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect with spiritual fruits and delicacies.
