There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Gu Xia was taken aback.

She suddenly realized what had happened to the merfolk. Even though they tried their best to save them, those merfolk who had died were already sleeping in the sea.

The demons have harmed many mermaids and cut off their mermaid pearls. It seems that they failed to succeed by targeting the fourth senior brother, so Qu Yimian had no choice but to settle for second best and combine the energy of all the mermaid pearls in her possession.

It was used to replace Jiang Chaoxu's existence.

Unexpectedly, the formation was overturned by the aftershocks of Gu Xia's self-destruction. The items of fortune that were originally intended as sacrifices were scattered all over the ground. Jiang Chaoxu, as the crown prince of the Merfolk, took advantage of the chaos to pick up the items after sensing the familiar aura.

However, no one expected that a restriction had been placed on it beforehand.

When Qu Yimian found out, her anger was predictable. These two senior and junior siblings had taken turns ruining her plans, so naturally she would not let Jiang Chaoxu off the hook.

This led to the scene where the Ye family was surrounded and killed by the elite demons.

Whether for public or private reasons, Jiang Chaoxu would never hand over the items.

He had already made up his mind that if Gu Xia hadn't appeared in time, he would have had no choice but to destroy the thing himself if he had no other option.

"The final destination of merfolk is the sea."

The boy's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Junior Sister, after this is all over, would you like to come with me to take them home?"

He knew that Gu Xiatian liked to join in the fun, and that she had gotten a lot of good stuff before leaving last time, and was reluctant to leave.

Since that's the case, why don't we go back one more time?

As for whether other merfolk will welcome it...

who cares.

Jiang Chaoxu thought irresponsibly, "Anyway, it's not like I don't know the way."

Fourth Senior Brother's words stirred something within Gu Xia, followed by a pang of bitterness.

The sea is the home of the mermaids.

In the lifetime she remembered, Jiang Chaoxu died alone and carefree in the cultivation world.

Once you join a sect, the Taiyi Sect becomes the home of all its disciples.

She and Jiang Chaoxu were able to send these unjustly killed merfolk back to the seabed.

In that lifetime, the Taiyi Sect was destroyed, the senior brothers died one after another, and the entire sect was almost wiped out.

No one else could take Jiang Chaoxu home.

Neither the Merfolk nor the Taiyi Sect could find the boy's origin anywhere.

Gu Xia's emotions suddenly became subdued.

Jiang Chaoxu was always perceptive and quickly noticed her unusual behavior. He blinked slightly and asked, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"

Gu Xia suddenly came to her senses, "I'm fine."

Jiang Chaoxu naturally didn't believe it.

She doesn't look like she's alright.

But before he could ask...

At this moment, Xu Xingmu forcefully caught up on his sword. He was with Ye Suian, and the two of them had heard Jiang Chaoxu's words earlier. They immediately leaned over with great interest.

"Returning to the Merfolk? Count me in."

"And senior brother, we can revisit this place. Those merfolk will definitely be happy to see us."

Shen Weixun: "..."

No, you shouldn't decide yet.

His intuition told him.

The merfolk probably wouldn't be happy to see them again.

The atmosphere instantly became cheerful as the two senior brothers started joking around. Gu Xia relaxed her brows slightly, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Alright, fourth senior brother, then it's settled then."

Even without Xu Xingmu's interruption, she really didn't intend to tell them those things.

The past cannot be retrieved.

Leave the task of killing Qu Yimian to her; there's no need to remind your senior brothers of their tragic ends.

The disciples of the other sects were utterly impressed by the Taiyi Sect's spirit; such a positive mindset was something none of them could achieve.

Everyone had something on their mind, and they traveled at breakneck speed, arriving at their destination with almost no effort.

Gu Lanyi vaguely sensed the sword energy belonging to Yue Ming.

He breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.

However, before the disciples could even step onto the stage, Qu Yimian confidently declared that even if Gu Lanyi were here right now, there was nothing she could do.

Their expressions became slightly subtle, and then they all tilted their heads to look over.

Oh open?

It seems there's some personal grudge involved.

Yue Ming had just been stabbed in the heart by Qu Yimian's sword. Blood kept gushing from his chest, soaking his robes. His face was pale, and his movements were slightly slower.

Several more sword lights came from various tricky angles.

Just then, the two of them simultaneously sensed several auras approaching and frowned in unison.

Qu Yimian frowned because she was unhappy that her actions had been interrupted.

Yue Ming assumed that other cultivators had mistakenly entered this place.

Before the two could even see who was so bold, a nonchalant voice suddenly rang out.

"Gu Lanyi, did you hear that?" The voice was laced with laughter. "It seems someone is looking down on you."

"Now that you're here, don't you want to do anything?"

It was like a thunderclap appearing out of nowhere.

The next second, countless streaks of light streaked across the sky and gently landed on the ground.

The leading youth twirled the spirit sword in his hand, his expression cold. "Just take her out."

"Big, big brother?"

The moment she saw that indifferent face, Qu Yimian subconsciously called out the name she knew best.

What's going on? How did Gu Lanyi suddenly appear here?

She bit her lower lip, then immediately dismissed the thought.

No, that's not right.

That's not the point; the point is the sound she just heard.

She knew it so well that she could call out the name that was deeply imprinted in her memory even with her eyes closed.

Every word he spoke, he gnashed his teeth.

"Gu Xia!"

The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it came from the deepest, most terrifying part of hell.

"How could it be you?!"
