Wei Shengliu wore a smile, but her eyes held an unreadable emotion. Xu Yuehuai watched from the side, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only watch helplessly.
After exchanging glances, the group of people in front of her gave Xu Yuehuai something. She picked it up and looked at it, but couldn't find anything special about it. After receiving the item, Wei Shengliu waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept her away.
The man in the golden mask spoke up, "Sect Master Weisheng, now that we've given you everything you wanted, shouldn't we talk about what's between us?"
Wei Shengliu said, "The key is mine."
Four people were present, causing the ten people opposite to look at each other. One of them asked, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean by 'the key is you'?"
Xu Yuehuai didn't go far. She was led to the side. Wei Shengliu and the others were far apart, so they spoke very loudly. She didn't need to listen carefully to hear everything. When she heard Wei Shengliu say this, she already understood what was going on.
The night breeze was cool, ruffling Xu Yuehuai's hair. Her eyes were pitch black, and the thing in her hand felt like it was burning hot.
She didn't understand why. Why would Wei Shengliu do this?
No one answered her questions. She stood quietly to the side. Sometimes, not disturbing her was the greatest help she could give Wei Shengliu.
“I, Wei Shengliu, am the key to activating this key. Only when I die can this key be activated.” Wei Shengliu made no attempt to hide anything.
When he first received the key, the other party told him it was very dangerous, but when he heard that it would save the future of the sect, he resolutely chose to believe it.
Now, let's just consider it an eye for an eye.
That person saved the sect back then. So many people from the first level attacked Qingtao Valley together, which was a sure thing. But someone suddenly appeared from the sky and turned the tide, successfully allowing everyone to survive.
The masked man said, "Sect Master Weisheng, do you have any last words?"
They were bandits, but they seemed to have more of the chivalrous manners and politeness of bandits. Everyone admired capable people, and Wei Shengliu's name had already spread far and wide.
People hold a certain degree of awe in their hearts for such a righteous person.
Wei Shengliu took to the air again. "I haven't had a proper fight with you all yet, have I? In that case, why don't you all fulfill my wish today? Let's have a battle right here, shall we?"
The masked men exchanged glances. In this round, Wei Shengliu was doomed.
Xu Yuehuai really couldn't understand what had happened. She tried hard to think, but a sharp pain shot through her head, which she could hardly bear. She squatted on the ground, as if enduring immense pain.
"Why is that?" Before fainting, Xu Yuehuai summoned Yuanshui and put everything in her hand into her spatial storage.
Yuan Shui's face scrunched up as he looked at Xu Yuehuai lying on the ground. A torrent of emotions surged through his mind. The next second, he set up a barrier around them, isolating them from the outside world.
...
On the other side, Fu Ziyi left in a huff. Baili Xiuwen, who was following behind him, noticed this and whispered in his ear, "Are you really going to leave like this? Aren't you worried about Junior Sister Xu being in danger?"
Fu Ziyi paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her normal pace, saying in a fierce tone, "What danger could she possibly be in? She's incredibly capable. Didn't she tell me to leave? What's wrong with me obeying?"
Baili Xiuwen stared at the man in front of him who was saying one thing but meaning another, sighed, and said, "That's not how you pursue a girl. She wants you to leave just because she doesn't want to hold you back. You like her..."
"Who likes her!" Fu Ziyi interrupted Baili Xiuwen, getting angry.
Fu Ziyi's volatile emotions startled Baili Xiuwen for a moment, then he chuckled, "You can still say one thing and mean another now, but what if something happens to Junior Sister Xu?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ziyi stopped and walked back without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Baili Xiuwen knew that his words had worked.
As an observer, he could see clearly what Fu Ziyi's feelings for Xu Yuehuai were.
"Let me tell you, I'm only going back because I'm worried about losing a junior sister, not because I like her. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll feed you to my ghost! I'll make you my ghost's nourishment!" Fu Ziyi didn't forget to threaten.
When they returned, they saw a sky full of colorful lights, a fierce battle raging, various combat techniques mixed together and colliding, and huge fluctuations in spiritual energy around them. Fu Ziyi steadied himself and kept searching for Xu Yuehuai's direction with his eyes.
But after looking around and not seeing anyone, she turned to Baili Xiuwen and asked, "Could she have already left?"
Baili Xiuwen frowned and shook his head, saying, "That shouldn't be the case. Judging from Junior Sister Xu's appearance just now, she shouldn't have left so easily. Let's search the surrounding area."
Fu Zi was also unconvinced, but he still did as he was told, releasing a bunch of ghosts to search the surroundings. When he saw Xu Yuehua lying on the ground, barely alive, his heart clenched, and he rushed over. Before Baili Xiuwen could even react, the person in front of him had already disappeared.
Yuan Shui sat to the side. He noticed someone approaching. Xu Yuehuai was not affected by these spiritual energy fluctuations. Although Yuan Shui's current strength was not as good as his peak, he was still more than capable of resisting a little bit of spiritual energy fluctuations.
Fu Ziyi only noticed Yuan Shui's presence when he ran up to him. He looked at him warily and asked, "Who are you?"
Yuan Shui didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, completely ignoring Fu Ziyi.
When Fu Ziyi saw that the child in front of him did not intend to harm Xu Yuehuai and was even protecting Xu Yuehuai, he did not continue to ask about his identity.
Pu Erge brought the unconscious Ji Yuanchi back to the sect. They were blocked by miasma at the foot of the sect. He wanted to bring Ji Yuanchi back to the sect before going out again, as it was always unsafe to be outside.
Just as he was about to go up, he happened to meet Zisangyi coming down from the mountain. Zisangyi was disheveled and dirty. "Elder Zisang, may we go back?"
"Where is the sect leader?!" Zisangyi stepped forward and grabbed Pu Erge's shoulder, her eyes bloodshot.
"He...he's in Tianqi City. He's the one who saved us." Brother Pu was puzzled, but he still spoke up. Although he didn't know what had happened, he felt that Qingtao Valley was about to be turned upside down.
After receiving the answer, Zisangyi tossed him a ball of light, showing no intention of taking him back to the sect, and hurriedly left.
Zisangyi woke up an hour ago. When she woke up, she felt something was wrong. She felt dizzy and disoriented. When she asked, she found out that she had slept for a day and a night.
