The tiger demon clearly didn't recognize Qi Changfeng, only knowing that he had lied to it. Its eyes widened in anger, and spiritual power had gathered in its palm, as if it wanted to kill Qi Changfeng.
However, Qi Changfeng walked forward unhurriedly, step by step, surrounded by a translucent white light, like an immortal descending to earth.
For some reason, the tiger demon was frozen in place, unable to move an inch no matter how hard it tried. Its eyes were fixed on Qi Changfeng. If looks could kill, a whole bunch of them would probably be dead.
Qi Changfeng strolled over to the unconscious man, said only "It's up to you now," and squatted down to observe the man on his own.
No sooner had they finished speaking than Qing and Li Jiang arrived in the cave in the blink of an eye. The tiger demon also broke free of its restraints and instantly engaged in battle with them.
Originally just a demon with low cultivation, the power it unleashed clearly exceeded the expected limits. After a fight, Qinghe felt somewhat exhausted.
She glanced at Qi Changfeng, but he didn't seem to be making a move at all. This made her wonder if she had picked up the wrong script. Why wasn't her cheap master making a move?
Despite her thoughts, she couldn't actually ask. She could only change her strategy with Li Jiang and find another way to deal with the tiger demon.
Qinghe withdrew his hand, stepped aside, formed hand seals, and quickly set up a killing array around Li Jiang while she was entangled in the fight with the tiger demon.
The tiger demon was merely powerful, but clearly knew nothing about formations. It had no idea what Qinghe was doing and only thought she was provoking it. It shamelessly said, "Beauty, you are truly beautiful. Today I was tricked by your master. Why don't you make amends to me on his behalf? Hahahaha!"
Qinghe remained calm, and while forming the array, he politely replied, "Alright, but I'm afraid you'll live to boast, but not to enjoy it."
Before she finished speaking, she shouted, "Formation complete! Killing formation activated!"
In the next instant, golden threads began to move and swirl around the tiger demon, gradually forming an incredibly hard sphere that trapped it inside. No matter how much the tiger demon swung its power, the golden sphere remained completely still.
Gradually, the area of the golden sphere slowly shrank, shrinking by more than half in the blink of an eye. The tiger demon began to feel fear. At this rate, it would be strangled to death by the golden threads in the formation in no time.
In its death throes, the tiger demon gritted its teeth and roared, a flash of white light burst forth, unleashing an incredibly powerful force that broke through the killing formation. The white light forced the two men to cover their eyes, and even Qi Changfeng was forced back two steps.
Taking advantage of the opening, the tiger demon flashed and grabbed the man on the ground, throwing him towards Qinghe.
Qinghe snapped out of her daze and saw a humanoid weapon flying towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this face and physique belonged to none other than the male lead, Mo Junqian!
Good heavens! She dared not accept the male lead's invitation. She then flashed behind the tiger demon and summoned the Great Light Spell, which instantly shone with golden light.
The next moment, the tiger demon roared in pain, slowly lowered its head to look at its heart, where a long sword was stuck. The golden light backfired, and scarlet blood gushed out.
At that moment, it seemed to hear the sound of its heart breaking, and then its flesh and blood exploded, golden light gathered and gradually converged into a point, a three-inch bead floating in the air.
Qinghe held the sword behind his back, his gaze cold.
It's incredibly cool, stylish, and awesome—perfect.
Mo Junqian, who had been caught by Li Jiang, was awakened by the commotion around him. He opened his eyes in pain and saw this scene—
Within the lingering golden light, Qinghe's figure slowly emerged, standing tall with lowered eyes, her demeanor as cold and aloof as frost.

Qingyun Sect
Inside the Dan Pavilion, several people sat around a table, each with a serious expression.
In the very center of the table was a fine, smooth bead, the very one found in the Tiger Demon Cave.
Mu Dong picked it up and placed it in his palm: "Could it be some kind of special pill that will cause one's cultivation level to skyrocket?"
Qinghe took it and said, "Aren't pills supposed to melt in your mouth? This is clearly a bead."
He handed it to Li Jiang, who examined it closely: "This should be a divine pearl. I once saw a record of it in the Ke family's scroll. It looks just like this, but I don't know which one it is."
Lu Chang, standing beside him, nodded in agreement: "This is indeed a divine pearl, and it is the Wind-Fixing Pearl, one of the five great divine pearls, right, Boda?"
Boda is the owner of this Pill Pavilion. At the young age of thirty, she has already become a famous alchemist in the Chaos Continent.
She and Lu Chang were childhood sweethearts. One cultivated Taoism and the other refined alchemy, making them a perfect couple. However, Bo Da had extremely high standards for herself. In pursuit of the ultimate alchemy skills, she ventured out alone to seek out renowned masters, but never heard from them again. Later, Lu Chang also joined the Qingyun Sect, and the two lost contact after that.
They didn't meet again until a few years ago. By then, Boda had already made a name for herself among the alchemists. Lu Changcheng invited her to join the Qingyun Sect, and the Pill Pavilion was built for her.
Boda nodded and said, "That's right. The Ke family's scroll once recorded that there are five divine pearls: wind, water, fire, and mountain. This one is indeed the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl. However, the five divine pearls disappeared many years ago. I didn't expect it to appear here."
Li Jiang: "This tiger demon obtained the divine pearl from somewhere. Its power is so great. Could it be a demon?"
Lu Chang: "It's possible. In recent years, the demon race has been restless and has been trying to launch a war to occupy the continent. This tiger demon is very likely sent by the demon race to spy on our Qingyun Sect."
The group discussed the secret activities of the demon race, while Qing quietly sipped her tea, saying nothing.
Lu Chang: "No matter what, the appearance of the Divine Pearl will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed. Remember not to speak of it to outsiders at this time, lest you bring disaster upon yourselves."
Everyone nodded.
Suddenly a soft groan came from inside, followed by rustling sounds; perhaps the male protagonist had woken up.
Bertha came to the bedside and said softly, "You're awake? Are you feeling better?"
Mo Junqian struggled to get up. Suddenly seeing so many people, he shrank warily into the corner of the bed, gripping the blanket tightly with both hands, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Boda's heart softened immediately. Just as she was about to comfort him, she heard Mu Dong say heartlessly, "Kid, it's really lucky that you didn't die from such serious injuries. But you've survived, but your spiritual veins are destroyed. What a pity."
Li Jiang then added, "It's not a pity if you can't cultivate. There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person."
Lu Chang added insult to injury: "Yeah, with your looks, you could do very well even without cultivation. There's nothing to be sad about."
Each of them was making outrageous statements, so Boda glared at them and waved them away.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. Your injuries are all minor. I've already given you some medicine, so don't worry. It's just your spiritual veins..."
