The reconstruction of the Ascension Ladder is nearing completion.

Murong Yan said that he would be able to stay by her side within three days and personally guide her cultivation.

But what no one expected was that before Murong Yan could return, Tianyuan Sect was attacked by the Demon Realm.

The demon realm arrived with overwhelming force, and the Demon Lord led several guardians to forcefully break through the protective barrier of the Tianyuan Sect.

The two sect elders who had been in seclusion were alarmed and had no choice but to appear above the Tianyuan Sect to confront the Demon Lord and others.

When Qin Wan arrived, the two patriarchs and Feng Yi were entangled in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord and others.

Upon seeing her appear, Qin's father's expression changed drastically. He immediately appeared beside her and grabbed her arm tightly.

"Who let you out?"

"Didn't I tell you to stay put on Wuwang Peak?"

“Father, the sect has suffered such a calamity. As the daughter of the sect leader and a member of the Tianyuan Sect, how can I be afraid of death and stay on Wuwang Peak?”

"I will stand with everyone through thick and thin!"

As she spoke, Qin Wan raised her sword and fiercely stabbed at the demon beside her.

Seeing the faint spiritual energy flickering on her sword, Qin's father's face darkened.

It wasn't that he was biased; it was mainly because Qin Wan had only just begun cultivating, although she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage due to her outstanding talent.

But in reality, she had only been practicing for a few months and had no practical combat experience whatsoever.

On the contrary, these demons have always lived in bloodshed and are ruthless and vicious. With Qin Wan's cultivation level, she can hardly help them, let alone protect herself!

Qin's father wanted to say something more, but the battle situation was critical, and Qin Wan was stubborn...

"Father, please don't try to persuade me anymore."

"Look around at the junior brothers and sisters. Many of them have the same cultivation level as me."

"If they can contribute their strength to the sect, why can't I?"

"Not to mention, I'm still your daughter, Father!!!"

Qin's father knew that Qin Wan's words made sense, but he was just selfish.

"No, you have to go back."

Even if the world condemns me, Father, and calls me selfish, I will never agree to your nonsense!

"Wan'er, your father can get hurt, but you absolutely cannot!"

The horrors of that great battle more than 20 years ago are still vivid in my mind.

His wife, Wan'er's birth mother, died in that great battle.

His wife sacrificed herself for the sect, and he could sacrifice himself for the sect too, but Qin Wan was the only one who couldn't!

Call him selfish if you want, he wouldn't agree!

Thinking of this, Qin's father disregarded Qin Wan's wishes and forcibly took her back to Wuwang Peak and locked her up.

Watching her father's departing figure, and then looking at the barrier that enveloped and trapped her, Qin Wan fell into a long silence.

She truly hadn't expected Qin's father to react so strongly.

If she cannot participate in the war, then her and Mo You's plans will likely not be able to proceed...

Thinking of this, Qin Wan frowned slightly.

"Senior brother..."

"I miss you……"

Qin Wan suddenly took out the white jade pendant from her neck and murmured softly.

Within the spatial rift, Murong Yan, who was repairing the Ascension Ladder, paused for a moment, then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Senior brother..."

"Senior brother..."

As Qin Wan kept muttering to herself, Murong Yan's pace in repairing the Ascension Ladder quickened, reducing the time originally required to two days to half.

Below Tianyuan Sect.

Mo You arrived at the agreed location, but did not see Qin Wan. She frowned slightly and subconsciously looked up at the six people fighting and confronting each other in mid-air.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Feng Yi silently appeared behind the two patriarchs of the Tianyuan Sect. His phoenix eyes narrowed, and Feng Yi unleashed a full-force attack on the two patriarchs...

"boom!"

Although the two elders reacted quickly, they were still hit and both coughed up blood.

"Feng Yi, how dare you?"

"Feng Yi, you traitor!"

Qin's father below also noticed the anomaly in mid-air, and his face turned extremely grim. He quickly flew to the side of the two patriarchs to protect them.

Feng Yi's face was cold and indifferent. "As long as you hand Qin Wan over to me, I can immediately make the people of the Demon Realm stop."

Upon hearing this, the two patriarchs and Qin's father's expressions changed drastically. "It was you who colluded with the Demon Realm!"

"I didn't want this to happen either, but you forced me to." Feng Yi's cold gaze fell on Qin's father.

"If you had agreed to marry Qin Wan to me earlier, this great battle would never have happened today."

"So, if you have something to blame, blame yourself!"

"Do you see those disciples who died down there?"

"You are the culprit behind all of this!"

"If you hadn't tried to stop me from being with Qin Wan, these disciples wouldn't have died, and those two old geezers behind you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."

"It's all your fault."

Looking at Feng Yi, who was almost driven mad, Qin's father's face was extremely ugly.

Looking at the dead and wounded Tianyuan Sect disciples below, Qin's father felt regretful, remorseful, and guilty, but he... could never hand Qin Wan over to Feng Yi.

"You're dreaming!"

"Even if I were to die and perish, I would never entrust Wan'er to a ruthless person like you!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously and stared at Qin's father with an icy expression.

"You're asking for it!"

A tremendous blow surged toward Qin's father...

Qin's father's pupils contracted sharply.

He could dodge it, but with the two patriarchs seriously injured behind him, if he avoided it, the two patriarchs would likely suffer even more serious injuries!

Thinking of this, Qin's father could only grit his teeth and take out his magic weapon to block Feng Yi's attack...

"boom!"

A violent explosion resounded throughout the entire Tianyuan Sect...

Qin's father... He had been gathering spiritual power at his fingertips for a long time but hadn't been able to use it yet. He looked ahead with a puzzled expression.

Qin's father was stunned when he saw the ropes wrapped around Feng Yi's body.

This is……

“It’s my junior sister’s spirit-binding rope,” Nie Xiao said.

When did his daughter get such a powerful magic weapon? How come he didn't know?

“It’s a token of love from Junior Brother Murong to Junior Sister,” Jiang Liufeng added.

Upon realizing that Murong Yan's parents were immortals left behind in the cultivation world, Qin's father immediately understood.

No wonder this Spirit-Binding Rope could bind Feng Yi, a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

No wonder... that girl Qin Wan was so bold as to run out and fight with the demons.

etc!

The spirit-binding rope appeared here.

That Qin Wan...

Thinking of this, Qin's father looked around with a grim expression and, sure enough, spotted a familiar figure behind Feng Yi.

"Rebellious daughter!!!"

Qin's father gritted his teeth in anger and glared fiercely at Qin Wan.

"Father, I really came to help, please don't be angry." Qin Wan explained as she approached Feng Yi.

Looking at Qin Wan, who was so close to him, Feng Yi suppressed the anger in his eyes and said softly, "Wan'er, everything I've done is for you. I just want to be with you."

"I will not hurt you, much less the sect leader."

"Wan'er, please release the spirit-binding ropes binding me, okay?"

"As long as Wan'er comes with me, I will immediately make the people of the Demon Realm stop and never harm anyone from the Tianyuan Sect again."

"Including the two patriarchs, I can provide them with a Grade Nine Great Rejuvenation Pill to heal their internal injuries, guaranteeing that no hidden dangers will remain." Feng Yi's burning gaze was fixed on Qin Wan.
