"Sister Li, I accidentally overheard Uncle Jingchen's secret and was discovered by him. He wanted to kill me to silence me, but Master appeared and saved me. He held Uncle Jingchen back and told me to run as far away from the Taoist temple as I could. But I didn't know where else I could run to, so I thought of you..." Wenxuan said quickly.
"What?!" Li Shu's eyes narrowed. She hadn't expected such a sudden change to happen. However, it wasn't the right time to ask any more questions. Considering that Wenxuan usually only came down the mountain to buy incense, he probably wouldn't be familiar with other places. She immediately said, "Go to that ancient street first and wait for me there. I'll rush over to pick you up."
Wenxuan nodded, "Okay, I understand, Sister Li!"
"Wait." Li Shu suddenly thought of something and said, "It's better not to go there, in case Jingchen goes there directly to wait. Wenxuan, do you know any other places?"
"Sister Li, I remember your Taoist temple!" Wenxuan said immediately, "I memorized the route when I went there with Master!"
"Okay, then go there. There's no time to lose. Hurry over there. Remember, don't stop, keep running." Li Shu warned.
Wenxuan clenched the phone in his hand, "Okay, I understand, Sister Li."
Li Shu nodded and hung up the phone.
Wenxuan put away his phone and turned to look at Qinghe beside him, "Brother, let's hurry to Sister Li's Taoist temple now!"
"Okay." Qinghe nodded, but the expression on her face was very solemn.
Wenxuan noticed his expression, "What's wrong, brother?"
"I'm worried about Master. I don't know what the situation is over there..." Qinghe said.
Wenxuan pursed his lips and said, "Me too, but senior brother, we should listen to Master first and run as far as we can."
Qing He hummed, "Let's go."
…
"Brother, we're almost there. Qingfeng Temple is just ahead." Wenxuan raised his hand and pointed to a place not far away. "Let's hold on a little longer."
The two of them had used up their teleportation talismans halfway through the journey, and had to run all the way here on foot.
Qinghe nodded and was about to say something when she suddenly realized something. Her face changed slightly and she quickly pulled Wenxuan's arm and dodged to the side.
Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong, brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a large piece of the place where they had just stood collapsed with a loud bang.
"Here it comes." Qinghe said in a deep voice.
Wenxuan's pupils trembled, and a trace of fear and grief rose in his eyes, "Brother, you mean Jingchen is here... so Master has already..."
Qing He tightened and loosened her grip on his arm, "Run quickly, I'll hold you back here."
"Brother! Let's go together!" Wenxuan grabbed his hand again, his voice trembling, "Even Master is no match for him. You're simply courting death here!"
"Okay, I don't have time to watch you show off your deep brotherly love. It's just a matter of dying sooner or later." Jingchen's voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.
"Let's go!" Qing He pushed Wen Xuan away and said sternly, "I'll drag him out."
Tears blurred his vision at some point. Wenxuan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, bit his lip, turned around and ran towards Qingfeng Temple not far behind him.
"You are just like your master, with a spirit of sacrifice." Jingchen's figure walked out from the darkness.
"Master..." Qinghe stood in front of him, clenching his hands at his sides into fists.
"Of course he's dead, otherwise how could I have caught up with you now?" Jing Chen said slowly, "You should worry about yourself. After all, you didn't even have a chance to collect his body."
"Uncle Master, why?" Qinghe asked.
"Yeah, why? I want to ask why too... I don't want this to happen." Jingchen looked at him, "If you want to blame someone, blame Wenxuan. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have died."
"Hmm...I guess I won't die so soon."
After he finished speaking, Jingchen stopped talking nonsense and attacked Qinghe directly with deadly moves.
Even Xukong was no match for Jingchen, let alone Qinghe, who was defeated in just three moves.
Jingchen didn't even give him time to say his last words before taking his life.
He glanced at Qinghe's body and threw a piece of talisman on him.
The next second, the corpse spontaneously combusted without fire, and Jingchen's figure disappeared from the spot.
…
On the other side, Wenxuan ran towards Qingfeng Temple with his head down, and accidentally tripped and fell.
His face was covered with tears and he began to blame himself.
If he hadn't gone to Jingchen's yard tonight, he wouldn't have overheard those things and wouldn't have been discovered by him. In this way, both his master and senior brother wouldn't have been in trouble. It's all his fault!
Wenxuan knew in his heart that Qinghe was probably in danger.
He suddenly began to hesitate in his heart, wondering if he should not run to Qingfeng Temple. Wouldn't that bring danger to Sister Li?
If the same situation happens again, Sister Li will protect him and tell him to run away quickly. In that case, it would be better for him to bear the consequences himself.
Thinking of this, Wenxuan's eyes became more determined, and he immediately turned in another direction and ran away.
However, he had just run two steps when Jingchen's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Wenxuan, are you still running? Aren't you tired?"
Wenxuan was so frightened when he heard this that his heart skipped a beat and he got goosebumps all over his body.
Unexpectedly, Jingchen arrived faster than he imagined. If that were the case, wouldn't Senior Brother...
Wenxuan stopped, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
He didn't want to escape anymore. His master and senior brothers had died to protect him, so there was no point in him living. He might as well go with them.
Wenxuan turned around and looked behind him, his eyes fell on Jingchen, his chin raised, "Come on, kill me if you want, you are a beast who harms our sect!"
Jingchen snorted coldly, "You're getting tougher now."
Wenxuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
"That depends on whether you have the opportunity to be a ghost." Jingchen said and raised his hand to attack Wenxuan.
Seeing this, Wenxuan simply closed his eyes.
Master, senior brother, I'm here to accompany you.
However, he waited for a few seconds but did not feel the pain he had imagined.
Wenxuan was just about to open his eyes to see what was going on when a cold female voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Stand back and stand away."
This is Sister Li’s voice!
Wenxuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw Li Shu standing in front of him. "Sister Li!"
Li Shu hummed, "Wenxuan, go to Qingfeng Temple first, and leave this to me."
Wenxuan shook his head. "Sister Li, you can't beat him. Go away. If I die, I die. I can't let you get hurt."
Li Shu turned her head and glanced at him, "Don't worry, I can beat you, you leave first."
