"Hey, didn't you tell us to keep an eye on that little white lotus? We followed her as soon as she left. When we got here, the Feng family was about to leave, but the little white lotus insisted that the Feng family had taken the three divine artifacts. She wouldn't let the Feng family leave until they handed them over. They started arguing and then started fighting!"

Shiraisha explained.

Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes. Since there were no divine artifacts here, let them fight until the end of time!

"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

"Jiu'er, your cheap master is over there too!"

Upon hearing Gong Mingyue's words, Ji Jiuying paused in her tracks: "A-Yue told him to return to the Ruins Palace, so let's go to the Ruins Palace first."

Gong Mingyue nodded, and the group left one after another.

Yuehua was also curious about who this girl's master was.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Bugui's eyes as he stood not far away, before he turned and quietly left.

When Yu Bugui returned to Guixu, Ji Jiuying and the others were already waiting there.

He glanced at the people in the main hall, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. When his gaze fell on Yuehua, he was taken aback for a moment, but quickly concealed it.

"Old Yu, it's been a long time!"

Ji Jiuying stepped forward and smiled.

"My good disciple, you've finally deigned to come back and look after this old man."

“Gui Xu, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect to see you here.” Yue Hua stepped forward, and judging from her tone, the two seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time.

"It has indeed been a long time..."

A hint of melancholy flashed in Yu Bugui's eyes.

"Girl, so Guixu is your master?"

Yuehua looked at Ji Jiuying and smiled.

"yes!"

"Gui Xu, I must say you're really lucky. No wonder that girl rejected me back then."

Upon hearing Yuehua's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Yu Bugui's eyes, along with a touch of emotion.

When ordinary people ascend to a higher plane, they usually seek out a new master to learn their skills. To gain the appreciation of a god or higher is something many people dream of, yet this girl actually refused.

That makes sense, this girl's style of doing things is always different from others.

"Old Yu, before the monsters appeared, did anything unusual happen at the academy?"

Yu Bugui pondered for a long time, "Since you left, I have been paying close attention to Qingling's every move. Later, she disappeared, and I guarded the forbidden area day and night, fearing that something might happen. Two days ago, I was cultivating in the forbidden area as usual when suddenly the academy's barrier seemed to be hit by something, and the entire academy was shaking violently."

"I was worried, so I went to check, but I didn't find anything unusual. I went back to the forbidden area to check again, and after confirming that everything was fine, I started cultivating in place. Who knew that the demons below would suddenly awaken that night."

"For some reason, the demon became enraged and repeatedly rammed against the seal. This continued for two days and two nights until Qingling suddenly appeared..."

At this point, Yu Bugui paused, then sighed softly: "The moment I saw her, I knew something terrible had happened!"

"It's as if she's being controlled, constantly playing the ancient demonic zither outside. The demons below seem to have some connection to her, as demonic energy keeps emanating from them. Jin Chenzi and I tried to seal them again, but we made things worse, and the demons still came out..."

"Once the monsters emerge, we won't have time to worry about the artifacts inside. We'll probably have already taken them with us while we're escaping!"

"You all know what happened next."

Ji Jiuying frowned, grabbed Yu Bugui's hand, and reached out.

After a while, it was indeed so!

When he reinforced the seal, he sacrificed one of his souls to join the seal. Now that the seal has been broken, he has suffered a fatal backlash. He appears to be no different from a normal person, but in reality, his body is already covered in wounds. In addition to damage to his internal organs, his soul has been shattered.

A hint of worry flashed across Ji Jiuying's eyes. Right now, he probably couldn't even defeat a Spirit Master...

Looking at the emotions in Ji Jiuying's eyes, Yu Bugui smiled self-deprecatingly. He knew he couldn't hide it from her.

"Eat it!"

Before anyone knew it, a pill appeared in Ji Jiuying's hand. Looking at the pill in her hand, Yu Bugui's eyes flashed with surprise. Was it a Saint-grade Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, or a pill with full purity? Thinking of his own situation, he sighed softly.

"Girl, don't waste such a good pill. I'm already..."

"Enough with the nonsense. If you don't eat, I'll tell Elder Fu Yan about your situation..."

What did Yu Bugui learn from that pause? In reality, Ji Jiuying knew nothing and was just guessing. Sure enough, she guessed correctly.

Yu Bugui had no choice but to obediently swallow the pill, and only then was Ji Jiuying relieved. However, given his current condition, the Bone-Growing Snow-Melting Pill could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. To completely cure him, it would be necessary to refine some other pills to treat his soul.

"The old man's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain suggests that someone tampered with the seal."

"But who could have such great ability to silently penetrate the divine-level formation and enter the forbidden area? And what method did they use to break the seal once inside?" Yu Bugui couldn't understand it at all. Even Ming You couldn't possibly break the seal in such a short time!

If that person released the demon for the sake of the divine artifact inside, wouldn't that be killing a thousand enemies while losing eight of their own? What good would that do them?

Yuehua was secretly alarmed. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to tell what she knew: "Five hundred years ago, Kamakura and I were training in an ancient secret realm. We accidentally discovered a compass that could penetrate various planes, barriers, and formations..."

Everyone became even more convinced that the person behind it all was Kamakura, and even Yuehua, who had been half-believing, showed a complicated expression.

Yu Bugui, on the other hand, looked at Ji Jiuying and the others with a puzzled expression.

"You mean Kamakura, who's been dead for over a decade?"

Ji Jiuying nodded and explained the gist of the matter. Yu Bugui was secretly shocked after listening! At the same time, he also understood why Yuehua was here.

"And what about the lightness and agility?"

“Qingling has a Demon-Gathering Stone inside her body, which is why she became demonized. As for why she swallowed the Demon-Gathering Stone, we probably have to find out from Kamakura himself,” Si Yu explained as she stepped forward.

"Now that we know the person behind it is Kamakura, our next step is to find his whereabouts," Si Yu added.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Jiu'er, are you planning to use Murong Zheng to find him?" Feng Che glanced at Murong Zheng in the crowd.

"Yes, and only he could find Kamakura."

Upon hearing Ji Jiuying's words, everyone turned their attention to Murong Zheng, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. He was actually a half-demon!
