"In fact, it is different from the betrayal of an ordinary spy."

"Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's talk about the betrayal of Lei Caiyan in the past. Not only did he steal many clues of the protective formation, he also killed Shi Wenshi, the fourth disciple of Tiangong Workshop, and he also led the Demon Cult to exploit the loopholes in the formation to capture Penglai and abduct countless precious resources."

"We all take all of this for granted. This is because the risk of ambushing spies is extremely high. Once their identities are exposed, not only will they be killed, but even their souls may not be able to be liberated and reincarnated."

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when we look at the matter of my husband betraying the sect, we subconsciously equate him with other traitors... But now Liuli is bold enough to ask the immortal."

"Apart from the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, has my husband ever stolen any other rare treasures for cultivation?"

"...No." The Immortal Wanxiang said slowly.

Not only did he not suck blood from the party, he also helped Penglai discover the Lianshan treasure house and find the long-lost Shennong Ding... If these were all tricks used by spies to gain trust, then the Wanxiang Immortal even hoped that there would be as many such tricks as possible.

"Also." Shi Liuli continued, "The Tiangong Treasure Bag left by my father, as the inheritance of the owner of Tiangong Workshop, has always belonged to my husband."

"But on the eve of his leaving the sect, he gave me this treasure bag... What do you think of this, Immortal?"

The Wanxiang Immortal laughed and asked:

"Liuli, are you trying to say that Jingyun didn't deliberately plan to betray us, but was just helpless? It was because he felt guilty that he refused to take a penny from the sect before he betrayed us, and even tried to return the Tiangong Baibao Bag that he had already obtained to Penglai?"

"That's not what I meant." Shi Liuli said frankly, "Based on these pieces of evidence, it can only be said that my husband has no ill will towards Penglai Yuqing Temple. It is even very likely that he feels guilty, so he wants to make compensation."

"As for why my husband betrayed the sect, whether it was voluntary, and whether there were other forces interfering behind the scenes. Liuli does not know, so she dare not speak rashly."

"You." Wanxiang Immortal sighed, "No matter how much you say, you still can't let it go, right?"

Shi Liuli remained silent.

Once upon a time, after she learned that her husband had both the identities of Qiu Changtian and Ling Yunpo, and even became a Taoist couple with Xu Yinglian, and loved An Zhisu, she was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep, and she even thought about abandoning this relationship completely.

Just think of it as not knowing how to judge people and falling in love with dogs!

When the sadness receded like the tide, the anger flared up again.

She swore to find the bastard, force him to admit his mistakes and repent and cry bitterly, and finally stab him in the root with a knife to make him pay the full price for his sins.

But all these illusions... disappeared without a trace after she found Chen Guanshui.

She found that Chen Guanshui not only refused to admit that he had cheated on other women, but also refused to admit his relationship with Shi Liuli. He completely abandoned all disguised identities and said goodbye to and cut off everything in the past with a paranoid, stubborn, and even cold-blooded attitude.

This made Shi Liuli feel an uncontrollable panic. She realized that the premise for being able to stand on the moral high ground and accuse the other party of cheating was that the two still had a Taoist relationship.

However, if either party wants to unilaterally sever this relationship and make it completely in name only, all efforts will no longer be meaningful.

In simple terms, if there is no love, what is the point of crying and hanging yourself?

Shi Liuli's sorrow and anger were all suppressed by this deep fear. She didn't dare to forcefully break up with Chen Guanshui, and could only vent her grievances and pain in vain, trying to influence the other party to repent and even change his ways.

From then on, she realized her true feelings deep in her heart.

Although he deliberately betrayed the sect, left without saying goodbye and abandoned me; although he played other roles at the same time and even had affairs with many fairies.

Although he now considers himself "Wangshan Taoist" and wants to cut off all his previous identities...

But I actually... I still...

"Yes." Facing the question from the Immortal Wanxiang, Shi Liuli finally lowered his eyelids and closed his eyes.

"I still can't let him go."

…

Among the many sects, the reaction of Penglai Yuqing Temple has recently been different from that of Kunlun and Shushan.

Kunlun Taiqing Sect and Shushan Shangqing Sect basically no longer mention Chang Geng Qing Heng to the outside world, and internally and privately, there are no unnecessary actions.

It was as if these two people had never existed in the sect from the beginning - it was obvious that they were going to be treated completely coldly.

However, for some unknown reason, Penglai recently suddenly launched some kind of "name rectification campaign".

The reason why Elder Jingyun left has not been mentioned yet, but Sect Leader Xuandu has said on more than one occasion in public that "Elder Dongyou definitely has no problem with this matter."

Such words were obviously aimed at the recent trend in the temple: since everyone knew that Elder Jingyun stole a treasure from the Wanxiang Immortal and then brazenly defected from the sect and disappeared, now no one dared to deal with Tiangong Workshop.

But the statement made by Master Xuandu seemed to imply a change in the wind direction: Could it be that the old Immortal Wanxiang is no longer angry?

Gradually, Tiangongfang seemed to have regained some of its liveliness.

Many monks in the temple who were familiar with each other in the past began to visit quietly - of course, they were very cautious when entering and leaving, for fear of being discovered by others.

"Will this really work?" Third Senior Sister Liang Ruohua asked in confusion.

"At least we have to send out a signal first." Shi Liuli replied calmly, "If Penglai still maintains hostility towards him, then there will be no way for the subsequent plans to proceed."

"I think Senior Sister Shi has already made up her mind." Shi Qing said obediently, "I think the Immortal and the headmaster are willing to cooperate, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"It's hard to say." Shi Liuli slowly stood up.

Liang Ruohua and Shi Qing looked at her at the same time, waiting for her to explain the subsequent arrangements, but Shi Liuli just walked slowly to the center of the yard, looked at the slightly curling clouds in the sky, sighed and said:

"Who knows what he is thinking..."

It is said that the witch Jiang came near the sky, and then used her tremendous magic power to forcibly break through the sky and rush into the universe.

Looking back, the sky barrier had already returned to its original state, without any damage or holes at all.

She continued to transform into black mist, rapidly passing through the chaotic sky river as if nothing, and finally arrived at the demon palace of He Da Zizai Tian.

This magic palace was built on a rocky planet. As soon as Witch Jiang stepped into it, countless black shadows rushed out from behind the pillars, corridors, doors and windows, and transformed around her into various beauties who were either cute, charming, pure or lovely, and said in unison:

"Sister Li An is back!"

"Did sister bring back anything fun?"

"Why don't I go to the lower world with my sister?"

"Sister, your skills have improved greatly. Can you teach me?"

Five hundred sisters were shouting at the same time, as if five hundred ducks were quarreling at the same time, so that Jiang Li could no longer endure it and suddenly released his magic power, forcing all the witches to the edge of the wall.

"Shut up!" she yelled. "No one is allowed to talk!"

The witches were pinned down and unable to move. They could only nod their heads, secretly shocked.

With such terrifying strength, even the demon king's father, who was once the leader of the group, might be no match for him.

"That's it." Seeing that everyone was silent, Witch Jiang said with satisfaction, "I need two experts who can break illusions. Pay attention, it's not about casting illusions, it's about breaking illusions, understand?"

The sisters nodded in unison again.

"What does nodding mean?" Jiang Li frowned and asked, "Do you understand, or do you recommend yourself?"

The sisters looked at each other.

"Speak!" Witch Jiang shouted, and everyone seemed to have their mouths zipped open, and raised their hands and shouted noisily again:

"I can, I can! Sister chose me, trust me!"

"I told you, it's about breaking the illusion!" Witch Jiang saw that every sister raised her hand, and suddenly she had a headache again, "Don't try to take advantage of me, I want to check them one by one!"

The witches were not at all cowardly, and they did not even retract their raised hands.

"Well," Witch Jiang sneered, "I will personally perform magic to create an illusion. All of you who volunteer will go in. Those who can walk out will pass. Those who can't... will be trapped in there for the rest of their lives!"

Suddenly, everyone withdrew their hands - to the immortal and indestructible Great Freedom Demon, he was not afraid of fighting and killing. What he feared most was being sealed away somewhere, being bored to death and unable to get out, which would be a living torture.

Witch Jiang was a little surprised when she saw the situation suddenly changed from everyone responding to no one signing up.

If she thought about it carefully, she was the strongest among all the witches, and this was an illusion she had set up with her own hands. How could her sister, who had studied how to break illusions, have the confidence to get through it?

The result is that no matter whether one has the ability or not, everyone will say that they are not capable of it, as this is the safest way.

"Sister." Suddenly a witch said timidly, "I have indeed learned how to break illusions, but I am not very confident in breaking the illusion designed by sister..."

"You've learned it?" Jiang Li was overjoyed. "It's you, come with me!"

She quickly turned into black mist, wrapped her sister in it, and then quickly rushed out of the Demon Palace.

The remaining sisters looked at each other for a moment, then followed out without hesitation. After all, who doesn’t want to have some fun?

But this time, Witch Jiang was even faster. Before she left the range of his Great Freedom Heaven, she had already completely shaken off most of her sisters.

"What's your name?" she suddenly asked her sister in her arms.

"Joy." The witch replied.

"Oh." Jiang Li'an was not embarrassed at all. After all, there were hundreds of sisters in the Demon Palace. How could he possibly remember every name?

"How did you learn how to break illusions?" she continued to ask tentatively.

"That's right." Huanyue replied, "I went down to the mortal world with my sisters before. After eating a monk, I found a book in his bag."

"I thought it was a secret method of illusion at first, so I took it back to study... and then when I learned it thoroughly, I found out that it was a secret method to break illusions."

Jiang Li'an: ...

A witch who can even get the secret spell wrong, can this girl really help me solve the maze there?

Never mind, let’s try it first!
