After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 634 Master, Li'er is afraid

Human emotions are truly tormenting; just as he thought, these emotions always hinder one's progress. But, but isn't the very reason why human cultivators are favored by the Heavenly Dao precisely because they possess these seven emotions and six desires that even the Heavenly Dao itself doesn't have?

Does the heavens also feel jealous of people?

Qingzhi has now figured it out.

He had already made his decision.

"Li'er, save yourself."

Before she finished speaking, the dazzling white starlight was pinched between Qingzhi's fingertips. The next second, several icy chains, radiating extreme cold, appeared from the white light, firmly covering Jiang Liqian's hands and feet, and continued to extend until they were embedded in the bottom of the Xuanlei Pool.

Jiang Li's eyes trembled slightly; the runes and markings on them were exactly the same as the chains binding the blood mist in her dantian.

"No, no, you can't tie me up! I need to get out! I need to find a way to save Ayou! I need to bring him back! You can't keep me trapped here!"

Jiang Liqian struggled desperately, frantically tearing at the chains binding her hands and feet, but as soon as she made a move, the icy cold air from the chains rushed into her limbs and bones, making her shiver all over and unable to muster any strength.

The spiritual energy within his body, mixed with chaotic demonic energy, churned violently, resisting the icy chill. It screamed, trying to break free of his restraints, but as soon as the chains showed a crack, the spiritual energy belonging to a tribulation-crossing expert poured into the chains again.

It's been going on and on, with no way out.

Seeing Qingzhi about to leave, Jiang Liqian finally cried out. She pleaded with him, "Master, don't go, don't go! Li'er is in pain, Li'er can't bear it! Please save Li'er, don't lock Li'er up here!"

"Master, Li'er is scared. Li'er will never disobey you again. Please, let Li'er out, let Li'er out. Li'er will be obedient..."

"Master, Master!"

The hem of the robe that had been floating came to a stop.

A strange smile appeared on Jiang Liqian's face.

“She would never feign pitifulness so emotionlessly. You can’t even imitate her in this respect. As a demon, you’re a complete failure.”

Qingzhi didn't even turn his head, and waved his hand to set up a barrier.

Jiang Liqian's expression immediately changed, and she shouted angrily, "Why are you treating me like this? Why are you so cruel to me? What did I do wrong?!"

"Qingzhi, you owe me! You owe me!"

The white-clad figure outside the barrier paused slightly, then instantly transformed into countless sword lights and vanished into the air.

A thunderous roar crashed down, and piercing screams filled the entire valley.

"what--!"

"Ah——! Ah——!"

Si Chuan stood outside the valley, his eyes welling up with tears. Several times he couldn't help but want to rush in and take the person away.

So what if she's fallen into demonic possession? So what if she broke the sect rules? Zhenfeng can afford to support her; at worst, Zhenfeng will just keep supporting her indefinitely!

How could he just stand by and watch her like this? It was more cruel than torture! Her immortal bones and foundation were shattered together. What cultivator could endure such torment?

My junior sister is usually the strongest person in the world. If she wasn't really in so much pain, why would she scream like that?!

"Don't be foolish. This is for her own good. I know you spoil her and indulge her, but you also need to think about her future, don't you?" Ji Huaiche pulled Si Chuan back from her impulsive outburst, his expression extremely serious. "Besides, the war between immortals and demons is about to break out. If people outside the sect find out that the direct disciple of the Array Peak has fallen into demonic possession, they might come to condemn her and take her to the Thunder Execution Platform to be executed as a sacrifice to the flag!"

"If it weren't for the demons using some insidious and despicable means, how could my junior sister have been so ambushed and killed? And my second junior brother and third junior sister too! I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!" Si Chuan angrily swore a great oath to his inner demons, unable to bear standing there any longer, and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't be impulsive!" Ji Huaiche hurriedly advised him, but had to return to arrange for the disciples of the Discipline Hall to guard the entrances and exits of Xuanlei Valley, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering before Jiang Liqian came out.

"Any suspicious person who approaches, no matter who they are, is to be thrown into the dungeon for investigation, understand?"

"Yes, senior brother."

......................................................

"What did you say? Qianqian, she... Qianqian has been imprisoned in Xuanlei Valley? I need to see her!"

"Wait, don't go there. It's been cordoned off. No one is allowed to enter." Xin Sui stopped Yun Ruyi, who was rushing towards Xuanlei Valley. "Junior Sister Yun, I'm telling you this so you can calm down and not do anything foolish or break the sect rules in a moment of impulse..."

"What rules? Tell me what rules? She is the most important person in my life. Now she is locked up in such a dangerous place, her life hanging in the balance. Should I pretend I know nothing and continue playing music here?" Yun Ruyi was so anxious that she was almost crying.

She didn't understand why, regardless of her past or present life, her Qianqian had so many hardships, as if misfortune was relentlessly pursuing her and determined to torment her to death.

"Junior Sister Yun!" Xin Sui grasped her shoulders, trying to calm her down. "I don't mean for you to stand idly by and do nothing. It's just that some things have to wait for an opportunity and for the whole story to unfold. If you force your way in to see her like this, you'll only get yourself trapped and won't be able to do anything. Don't you want to find out why the sect leader ordered her to be locked up there first?"

After listening to his long lecture, Yun Ruyi felt a splitting headache and was extremely irritated. However, his intervention did calm her down considerably.

She closed her eyes and stepped back, trying to take deep breaths to calm herself: "Okay, okay, I won't see her, I won't see her..."

When Xin Sui saw her like this, his eyes showed a fluctuating mix of emotions, which he quickly suppressed.

"Give me some time, and I'll help you find out about her. It's not necessarily impossible to enter Xuanlei Valley. If you have a token from the sect leader or an elder, the senior brothers and sisters in the Discipline Hall will definitely let you through."

Yun Ruyi nodded without any questioning or rebuttal.

Xin Sui felt a little relieved and immediately began to inquire about Jiang Liqian.

Once his figure disappeared from Yun Ruyi's sight, she didn't linger for a moment and immediately flew to the formation peak on her sword.

The gates of Linglong Pavilion were tightly shut. Without a second thought, she bowed her head and knelt outside the hall.

"Sect Leader, your disciple Yun Ruyi requests an audience."

"Sect Leader, your disciple Yun Ruyi requests an audience!"

"Sect Leader, your disciple Yun Ruyi requests an audience!"

……

After who knows how many times the call was made, the crystal-clear palace, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, finally opened its doors slowly.

Yun Ruyi got up, but because she was too hasty, her knees couldn't bear the weight, and she lurched forward.

Fortunately, she managed to steady herself and didn't fall to the ground.

However, she didn't care at all that she almost fell, and her figure swept into the hall like a gust of wind.

The solemn palace doors slammed shut behind her.
