A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Meng's sinister eyes as he once again gathered his demonic power.
The broken vines rose from the ground and instantly transformed into sharp knives that flew towards Wei Qinghe.
Just as a row of knives was about to stab Wei Qinghe, a wave of fire suddenly appeared.
The row of small knives that had come with such force vanished instantly into a wave of fire in front of Wei Qinghe.
It was the fire elemental power that erupted from the tempering fire.
Gu Meng was momentarily surprised; Wei Qinghe's actions were so unexpected!
"You, aren't you a sword cultivator? How can a sword cultivator possess such a powerful tempering fire?"
Even with a top-grade fire spirit root, it cannot unleash the power of the tempering fire.
One must be a weapon refiner or alchemist, and only after reaching a certain level can one unleash the tempering fire.
"It seems you, the Great Elder of the Demon Clan, are nothing special after all. You are truly ignorant!"
Wei Qinghe once again condensed the tempering fire, and a bright yellow talisman suddenly appeared, with the fire wave forming a white tiger phantom that enveloped Gu Meng.
Gu Meng took a few steps back and once again flung a large number of green leaves at Wei Qinghe.
The green leaves whistled through the air, instantly transforming into many more small knives than before.
With the momentum of braving the wind and waves, it directly confronts the scorching heat.
"I want to see just how strong your tempering fire really is, and how long it can last!"
A tiger roared behind Wei Qinghe, and several spirit talismans appeared.
【All Swords Return to Their Origin!】
The forces from both sides increased, and they collided again, causing the entire cave to tremble.
The sword energy shattered many small knives, then, as if by inertia, pierced into the cave wall.
In the chaos, the dagger that was knocked away embedded itself in the wall.
Suddenly, a bronze mirror was revealed on the mountainside. The mirror emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless mysterious power.
The light instantly enveloped the two of them, their bodies seemingly frozen in place, and everything before them became blurry.
Wei Qinghe couldn't move her body, but she still activated the talisman and summoned Xiaobai.
Little White was on her shoulder, and they had arrived at an unfamiliar place.
"Master, be careful!" Little White cried out in alarm and lunged forward.
Not far ahead was a bewildered Gu Meng. Faced with Xiao Bai's attack, Gu Meng immediately struck with a palm.
"I thought we had really made a contract with a white tiger, but it turns out it's just a little cat that looks a bit like a white tiger, bluffing!"
Xiaobai hates being called a kitten, so it intensifies its attack on Gumeng.
Upon seeing this, Wei Qinghe immediately threw out a talisman, but Xiaobai missed. Gu Meng's palm wind dissipated, and Wei Qinghe's talisman floated to the ground.
All three pairs of eyes were filled with astonishment and shock. They tried again, but their attacks missed once more.
Wei Qinghe abruptly stopped, but Xiaobai and Gumeng were unwilling to give up and continued to fight each other on the side, but the damage would disappear immediately.
Wei Qinghe looked around and said in a flat tone, "Don't bother."
"Where is this place?" Gu Meng looked at Wei Qinghe warily. He had previously thought that Wei Qinghe was young and had low cultivation, so he could easily manipulate him, but he did not expect that she had some ability.
"Isn't this your territory? You're asking me where this is?"
Wei Qinghe held a talisman in one hand and a pill in the other.
Although it's useless in combat, it's still good for defense.
Just in case something goes wrong, she still has the space she can enter if all else fails.
Gu Meng was unwilling to give up and quickly looked around for clues. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he thought, "Could this be inside the bronze mirror?"
"Otherwise what?"
Wei Qinghe strolled forward, searching for a way out, with Xiaobai following closely behind, always on guard against Gu Meng.
Gu Meng gave Wei Qinghe a deep look. This little girl was far too calm, wasn't she?
Having just accepted the fact that he was inside the bronze mirror, the surroundings suddenly became dim and the scene before him changed abruptly, revealing him to be at the entrance of Yongquan Village.
"Kill her, kill her..." came a cacophony of shouts from within the village.
Wei Qinghe walked forward curiously, while Gu Meng stood there dumbfounded.
The sky over the village was overcast, not much better than when Wei Qinghe and the Lingzong disciples arrived at Yongquan Village.
At this time, the village seemed less desolate, and more vibrant and lively.
A disheveled woman was trapped on a wooden stake, with a blazing fire in front of her.
Many villagers gathered together, each with a torch in hand.
"This demon woman actually seduced our Changsheng! We Changsheng are inner disciples of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect. We must kill her; we cannot let her ruin Changsheng's path of cultivation."
"Burn her! Burn her!"
The villagers held their torches high, eager to throw them at the demon woman immediately.
Upon hearing the name 'demon woman,' Wei Qinghe became even more interested. She stepped forward to see what was going on, but accidentally passed through the villagers' bodies.
She couldn't sense any demonic energy from the demon woman. All she saw was that the demon woman was thin and pale, and most noticeably, she had a high, protruding belly.
The demon woman is pregnant.
"I did not seduce Changsheng, nor did I try to ruin his cultivation path..." Suddenly, the demon woman raised her head. Although she was disheveled and looked miserable, she was extremely beautiful.
Even Wei Qinghe, who had seen many beauties, had to admit that this demon woman was very beautiful.
"If you didn't seduce him, whose child are you carrying? I bet it was conceived by some promiscuous demon."
"That's right, she doesn't even know who she is, daring to claim immortality and still comfortably staying in the village. Burn her to death..."
At the village chief's command, the villagers threw their torches at the demon woman.
"No, no! I have no demonic power now. I am carrying Changsheng's child. Changsheng will never forgive you for treating me like this."
The demon woman's face was covered in tears, and she struggled desperately but couldn't break free.
Wei Qinghe's divine sense stirred. These demons who could all transform into human form must have extraordinary cultivation. Even if they were bound and unable to use their demonic power, they would not be completely devoid of it.
Only then did he realize that the demon woman in front of him had lost her demon core, and her body was even more fragile than that of an ordinary person.
The torch fell, instantly igniting the firewood beneath the demon woman's feet.
"No, don't..."
The heart-wrenching roar nearly shattered Wei Qinghe's eardrums.
Gu Meng rushed forward like a madman, unafraid of the raging flames. He passed through the flames without suffering any harm to his body.
She tried to use her magic to cut the ropes binding the demon woman, but after several attempts, it had no effect.
He had no choice but to try to untie the rope with his bare hands, but his hands passed through the demon woman, the wooden stake, and the rope.
"No, no, no..."
Gu Meng actually cried, crying like a child without regard for his image. He was unwilling to give up and continued to try to rescue the demon woman from the fire.
