Fang Yiqin was actually not very willing to admit that the girl lying in front of him was his sister.

He squatted down, patted Fang Jingqiu, and shouted, "Er Pang, Er Pang, don't sleep anymore, wake up."

Fang Jingqiu held his head and sat up, and asked, "Brother, are you done?"

Fang Yiqin helped his sister stand up and said, "Yes, but why did you fall asleep here? Are you tired from practicing today?"

She shook her head, feeling that the dizziness had not completely dissipated, but she was still able to think and reply. She glanced at the sun that was about to set and said, "Brother, I want to go to the foot of the mountain to take a look, is that okay?"

"Why do you suddenly want to go there? The sect leader has just sent Brother Yu and his disciples there. You should stay on Tianqing Peak and practice during this time. Leave these matters to the sect." Fang Yiqin said disapprovingly.

Fang Jingqiu could only nod and said, "Then I will go back to Tianqing Peak first. Brother, we will see each other another day."

Looking at his sister's receding back, Fang Yiqin was a little worried about her situation. Yu Qing happened to send him a message at this time, urging him to go over. He could only wait until today's matter was over before sending a message to Fang Jingqiu.

When Fang Jingqiu reached the suspension bridge, he met An Wensheng and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do now?"

An Wensheng pretended to be mysterious and whispered in her ear: "I just pissed off your senior sister. Now I'm going down the mountain to buy her something to cheer her up. Don't tell Jiang Mumu. I want to give her a surprise."

Thinking of the dead body at the foot of the mountain, Fang Jingqiu advised: "If you don't want to be discovered by Senior Sister, it's better not to go down the mountain now."

"Why? Do you know something?" An Wensheng said suspiciously.

"How would I know anything? I just saw Senior Brother Yu leading a group of disciples to the foot of the mountain, and I felt like something had happened."

Fang Jingqiu concealed the matter of the dead body from An Wensheng.

An Wensheng didn't take it seriously and said, "It doesn't matter. It's just that Yu Qing is at the foot of the mountain. With my relationship with him, is it possible that he would say anything to Jiang Mumu when he sees me coming down the mountain?"

As soon as the words fell, the two heard Yu Qing's voice coming from the disciple jade token: "All disciples are strictly prohibited from stepping out of the sect from now on. The Wugu Peak Management Hall will temporarily stop issuing tasks. The time limit for disciples who have already accepted tasks to complete the tasks will be extended indefinitely until the ban is lifted."

An Wensheng's face fell when he heard this. He couldn't believe what he heard. He had never encountered such a situation since he entered the sect. He couldn't help but ask, "Qiuqiu, do you think our sect is going to be besieged?"

Fang Jingqiu shook his head and gave An Wensheng a bad idea: "Brother, you have such a good relationship with Brother Yu, I'm sure you can find out what happened from Brother Yu, right?"

He thought about it. Although he didn't have absolute confidence that Yu Qing would tell him, what if Yu Qing suddenly lost his mind and told him?

He immediately made hand gestures and sent a message to Yu Qing: Old Yu, what happened? I want to go down the mountain.

Just after he finished sending the message, An Wensheng received a reply from Yu Qing: Don't worry, don't ask, just stay still.

These eight short words cut off all of An Wensheng's hopes. He walked back with a sad face. Fang Jingqiu caught up with him and said, "I still have some snacks that my brother brought me from the mountain this morning. How about you take them to appease Senior Sister first?"

An Wensheng was in a bad mood and said, "You've probably eaten most of it, so keep it for yourself."

"I just tasted a piece of peanut candy, the others are untouched." As he spoke, he took out the oil paper bag from his arms and opened it to show An Wensheng. He took a look and found that only the peanut candy had been touched, while the others were intact. After thinking for a while, he said, "After all, this was bought for you by your brother. It's not right for you to claim it as your own achievement. So, come with me to find your sister."

Fang Jingqiu happily agreed, and then heard An Wensheng say, "Your brother, a sword cultivator, is willing to spend money on you. This bag of snacks is a limited edition new product from the most expensive snack shop at the foot of the mountain. It costs three mid-grade spirit stones to buy it."

Fang Jingqiu was stunned when she heard that. She only received seven mid-grade spirit stones from the sect every month. Although she didn't know how much her brother could receive, the amount of money a sword cultivator spent on his sword every month was much more than what she spent on talisman paper and array plates. Therefore, three mid-grade spirit stones were indeed a huge sum of money for her brother.

In an instant, Fang Jingqiu imagined a scene in her mind where her brother, although poor, still made up his mind to take out the private money he had saved for a long time to buy snacks for her.

Woo woo woo, her brother is so miserable——

Fang Jingqiu took a look at the twenty medium-grade spirit stones she had saved up over the years in her small treasury and decided to go to the Qiushi Peak Auction House tomorrow to try to sell some talismans, array plates and the like. If the auction house didn't work out, she would have to set up a stall at Wugu Peak.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the manager of the auction house has started doing business with several other peaks, but she has never sold talismans there, so she doesn't know what price she can get. When she gets the spirit stones, she will give half of the small treasury to her brother.

Fang Yiqin, who was far away at the foot of the mountain, naturally didn't know that he had now become a poor guy with cleaner pockets than his face in his sister's eyes. Looking at the demons in front of him whose dantian had been dug out, he was shocked and confused. More than a dozen corpses had their dantian directly dug out. It seemed that the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes should not be underestimated.

Yu Qing looked at the miserable situation and could no longer maintain the smile that he usually tried so hard to maintain in front of his disciples. He angrily asked, "Why did you wait until today to report such a big thing to the sect?"

Fang Yiqin clasped his fists and said, "I just saw this when I came back from the foot of the mountain today. I have already held accountable the disciples who were responsible for patrolling the foot of the mountain. This is also due to my poor discipline on weekdays. When the matter is clear, I will bring those disciples to the headmaster to ask for punishment."

"There's no need to wait until this is over. Have someone take those disciples back and keep them under strict supervision. Make sure they explain everything that happened in the past few days." Having said that, Yu Qing looked at Fang Yiqin fiercely and said, "As for Junior Brother Fang, just like you said, you can apologize to Master after this is over."

"Thank you, senior brother, for showing some leniency." Fang Yiqin saluted Yu Qing and then ordered his disciples to take those people to the prison behind Rihua Peak and interrogate them strictly.

Yu Qing said, "I heard that all the dead bodies from the past few days have been buried somewhere. Do you know where they are buried?"

Fang Yiqin nodded and called out, "Li Si, take us to where the bodies are buried."

"Yes!" Li Si led a few people to the west and saw an open space with obvious signs of burial. Yu Qing signaled his disciples to go forward and dig out the bodies.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Qing asked Li Si: "Do you know the specific situation?"

Li Si glanced at Fang Yiqin, and after getting his permission, he took out the record from his waist and said, "According to what Senior Brother Fang asked several people today, the first dead bodies appeared two days ago. At that time, the disciples found the bodies and went forward to investigate and found that they were demons. One of the disciples asked whether to report to the sect. The leading disciple thought that it was just a demon being killed, which was a good thing and did not need to be reported to the sect. The next day, the original leader fell ill and recuperated at Danlu Peak, so he asked the first day's leader to help patrol. When he saw the demon corpse again, he did not take it seriously and handled it the same as the first day."
