Lu Changfu stood on the treetop with his hands behind his back. When he saw Yan Luo, he waved his wide sleeves, and a vast power surged toward her. Yan Luo waved her fan to deflect the power, and her body instantly retreated.
"I have long admired the name of Lu Chang, the leader of the Qingyun Sect. I pay my respects." Yan Luo stood up steadily and gave Lu Chang a proper bow.
Lu Changfei landed in front of Li Jiang, laughed loudly twice, "You woman, you know the rules and are beautiful, why did you have to learn such a despicable magic to harm people? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Yan Luo laughed, "The value of a move doesn't lie in its price, but in its effectiveness. As long as it can kill the enemy, that's enough. Just now, if you hadn't arrived so timely, your sect's disciple would have fallen into my hands." She turned her head to look at Li Jiang, her eyes still full of mockery.
Li Jiang turned his head away uncomfortably. Only then did he realize what had just happened, and a chill ran down his spine.
Lu Chang's kind face carried an undeniable air of authority: "This matter is due to our sect's poor training, which led us to fall into your trap. How about letting this old man have a match with the young lady?"
Yan Luo glanced around discreetly, noticing other hidden experts. She caught a glimpse of the unconscious Ling Yin out of the corner of her eye and declined, saying, "Senior's strength is remarkable. How could I dare to disrespect you? Let's call it a day and spar with you another time."
As soon as the words were spoken, the wind suddenly stirred, and when it stopped, Yan Luo and Ling Yin had vanished without a trace.
Li Jiang looked in the direction she left, her eyes filled with worry.
Lu Chang followed his gaze and teased, "You're still looking even though she's nowhere to be seen? You're not really bewitched by her, are you? Let me tell you, the wives of our Qingyun Sect must be pure and innocent. We can't have a vixen like her!"
Li Jiang was both amused and exasperated: "What are you talking about? I was thinking that once they go back, they will definitely tell the Demon Lord where we are hiding. At that time, the Demon Clan will definitely come to snatch the Divine Pearl, and that will be troublesome."
Lu Chang: "This matter is not troublesome." He smiled mysteriously and whispered something in Li Jiang's ear.
Li Jiang was overjoyed, "Really?"
Lu Chang nodded.
Li Jiangxi exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! Fusheng Pavilion is saved this time!"
...
Inside the wine cellar, everyone was looking in the same direction, and no one uttered a word.
Mu Dong and Mo Junqian stood not far away, looking at the bed board with worried expressions.
Suddenly, Mu Dong felt someone tug at his clothes and looked down.
"Big brother, what are they doing?"
Mu Dong shushed him, squatted down, and whispered, "Good boy, don't talk. That uncle is healing someone. Let's not disturb him, okay?"
The child nodded seriously, covered his mouth with his hand, and winked at Mu Dong.
Mu Dong patted his head, "Good boy."
Suddenly, the wine cellar shone brightly, and Lu Chang and Li Jiang had returned.
Upon seeing Lu Chang, Mu Dong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."
Lu Chang patted him on the shoulder, "Little Dongzi, how's your travels going?"
Mu Dong scratched his head: "It's alright, except for not having enough to eat, everything is fine."
Lu Chang smiled helplessly: "You kid, you talk as if you can eat your fill at home."
Mu Dong pouted. "So you knew about this too."
Li Jiang looked at her master, who was healing the Grand Tutor on the bed, and suddenly felt much more at ease. For the past few days, they had been in a tense state, like arrows drawn taut on a bow, their hearts burning with anxiety. Now, seeing her master, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell away.
The process of channeling spiritual energy and clearing the meridians was not slow. After two incense sticks had burned, Qi Changfeng withdrew his arms, calmed his spiritual energy, and slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Chang walked over and asked, "How is it?"
Qi Changfeng gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry about me taking care of it."
Lu Chang verbally complained that he was always being indecent, but deep down he had no doubt about what he said.
However, after a short while, the Grand Tutor, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up.
Qi Changfeng helped her up. "Zhaolan, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
Grand Tutor, feeling dizzy and disoriented, suddenly saw Qi Changfeng's face and instinctively thought he was at the Qingyun Sect. Seeing the wine jars scattered on the ground, he frowned and complained, "Qi Changfeng! Didn't I tell you not to drink? Why are you doing it again?! You won't listen to me, will you?!"
Qi Changfeng coughed awkwardly a few times, "That Zhaolan, this isn't Qingyun Sect, it's... uh, where is this?"
Li Jiang quickly replied, "It's in a hidden wine cellar in Qingshan Town."
Qi Changfeng: "Yes, in the wine cellar, these are not my wines." He wouldn't even look at such low-quality wines, but he didn't say the second half of that sentence aloud.
When the Grand Tutor saw Ji Yue and the other disciples of Fusheng Pavilion, as well as the townspeople standing in front of the bed, he suddenly remembered that Fusheng Pavilion had been attacked by the demons and fell silent.
No one spoke, and everyone wore expressions of sadness and sorrow.
After a long silence, the Grand Tutor spoke, "How many people are left?"
Ji Yue choked up and said, "Of the more than 300 disciples in the pavilion, only a little over 100 remain. Apart from the disciples here, the rest have all escaped and we don't know where they are now. Fortunately, their heart jades were not broken, so the disciples can know the exact number."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor sighed deeply, “My Floating Life Pavilion, secluded in the mountains, has devoted itself to cultivation and protecting the townspeople. Yet now it has suffered such a calamity. It is my fault as the Pavilion Master!”
Qi Changfeng comforted her, "Zhaolan, there's no need to blame yourself. This time, it was the demons who first disturbed the human realm, and their wolfish ambitions are obvious. It's not your fault."
The Grand Tutor looked at him and asked, "When did you arrive? What are you going to do here at the Qingyun Sect?"
Qi Changfeng smiled gently, "Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements for the Qingyun Sect, everything will be fine."
The Grand Tutor nodded in relief.
Lu Changdao said, "We only arrived at Qingshan at noon today. We originally wanted to come and find you as soon as possible, but we encountered demon soldiers burning, killing and looting on the way. We took care of the demon soldiers and that's why we arrived a little late."
Li Jiang said, "The demon soldiers have been collecting corpses these past few days. I don't know what their purpose is. I guess..." He looked around and communicated with Qi Changfeng telepathically.
Qi Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not much different from what you said. This battle looks like it will be very difficult to fight."
"By the way," Qi Changfeng looked around the wine cellar, "where's Xiao Er? Why isn't she here?"
Li Jiang told Qi Changfeng everything about Qing He.
"Sigh, this child." Qi Changfeng sighed and said, "Well, that's just her personality, no one can control her. I just hope she hasn't caused any big trouble. The God Realm is not a simple place."
Li Jiang: "Master, don't worry. Junior Sister is always a sensible person. She'll be fine."
"I hope so."
"Gurgle~" An untimely sound rang out. Mu Dong smiled sheepishly, rubbing his stomach and saying, "Hehe, I'm hungry again."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the silent atmosphere instantly became relaxed.
