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

amount.

This confident and assertive question caused all the trusted disciples present to fall silent for a moment.

The word '也' is quite subtle.

Gu Lanyi crossed her arms and scoffed, "Don't you recognize me?"

Sang Wan rested her chin on her hand and said, "Oh, you've even called him Brother Qingzhou, and you're telling us you're not familiar with him?"

For the first time, the group of trusted disciples were so in sync, all drawing out their voices.

"Cut~"

Are you kidding me?

Mu Qingzhou: "..."

He felt a lump in his throat, and for the first time, he felt utterly speechless.

Wait, what's with all these disciples' eyes?

Even though she hadn't spent much time with this group, Mu Qingzhou experienced for the first time what it felt like to have her reputation damaged.

But at that moment, Qu Yimian still wouldn't stop. After not getting a reply from him, she looked hurt and opened her mouth, "Why?"

Already severely injured, Mu Qingzhou felt an urge to vomit blood again.

The physical pain was bearable, but the mental nausea was unbearable for him.

Seeing that she still had the audacity to ask her why, Mu Qingzhou suddenly turned her head, determined to make her understand why she died. "Why can't I be with them?"

The young man's face was expressionless, his tone as cold as ice, "What have you done to the Spirit Race? Do I need to remind you?"

"The entire Spirit Race perished at your hands." He spoke each word with bone-chilling hatred. "So what if I want to kill you?"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone was astonished.

Jiang Chaoxu had always wondered why Mu Qingzhou harbored such deep hatred for Qu Yimian, but even so, his first reaction upon hearing her words was one of shock.

If he's like this, then you can imagine how others are.

The disciples exchanged glances, their eyes darting back and forth, trying to convey the shock they felt.

'Something happened to the Eldar? I haven't heard anything about it.'

"Are you kidding?"

'Who would joke about something like this? Would they curse their entire clan?'

Yue Ming, who was adjusting his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and looked over. "When did she get involved with your Spirit Clan?"

Mu Qingzhou glanced at him, a forced smile on her face, "Sect Master Yue, wasn't she your disciple before? You should know this best."

Since he wasn't a disciple of any of the Five Sects, he naturally wasn't as polite in his speech.

In his view, Yue Ming, Qu Yimian's master, was also partly to blame for the huge mess that Qu Yimian had caused.

Yue Ming: "..."

He knows nothing about it!

Even though she already knew that her former disciple's methods were unpredictable and that she had a presence among the demon race, the monster race, and the ghost cultivators.

But this is the Spirit Clan, who have never walked in the cultivation world, yet they have some entanglement with her?

The clearer it becomes, the more alarmed I feel.

What else is there about her that they don't know?

To everyone's surprise, Qu Yimian, who had been looking hurt, froze upon hearing this. Then, she reacted, her expression shifting before finally showing a look of realization.

"I see."

Qu Yimian changed her tone and finally understood why Mu Qingzhou was here.

Heaven!

It's that damned Heavenly Dao playing tricks again.

She had always thought that she was the only one who had returned to the past, so she found it particularly unbelievable when she saw Mu Qingzhou. After all, when her memories were only halfway integrated, she had tried to find traces of the Spirit Clan.

However, unlike before, Qu Yimian did not encounter any members of the Spirit Clan this time.

Although she found it strange, she didn't think much of it. After all, there were countless changes that could happen if she had to start over, and her condition was not stable enough at that time, so she didn't have time to investigate carefully.

Now it seems that if Mu Qingzhou's situation is the same as hers, then all of this can be explained.

Having experienced that devastating tragedy, Mu Qingzhou would naturally prioritize the safety of the entire Spirit Clan, so it's perfectly normal for her to act this way when facing me.

Qu Yimian was filled with hatred and nearly ground her back teeth to dust.

If she were facing Mu Qingzhou, who knew nothing about the situation, she would still be confident that she could deceive him.

But facing a Holy Son of the Spirit Clan who knows all her past lives, it's already a miracle that he hasn't devoured her alive; there's no point in even thinking about anything else.

Realizing that any hope of exploitation had vanished, Qu Yimian's expression instantly turned cold, and she pointed her long sword at Mu Qingzhou.

"So you're going to stand with them now?"

*

Gu Xia let out a light click of his tongue.

She sensed Mu Qingzhou's actions but didn't intervene because both of them shared a firm desire to eliminate Qu Yimian, so she understood the other's feelings at that moment.

If it were her, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold back and would have taken action on the spot.

Regardless of the final outcome, just kill them.

Moreover, given Mu Qingzhou's current situation, this pent-up anger has probably been lingering in his heart for a long time, so it's good to give him a chance to vent it.

In the end, she's always the unlucky one who has to clean up the mess.

Xie Baiyi, who was constantly watching the surroundings, hesitated for a moment after hearing the slightest movement she made, but still asked, "What are you looking at?"

I feel like she's been a little too quiet lately.

Knowing Gu Xia's character well, he immediately became alert, looking around as if there was some hidden danger.

Gu Xia had no idea what he was thinking. She simply stroked her chin and replied with interest, "I'm watching a very rare piece of performance art."

Xie Baiyi: "?"

"What?" After the other person had said some strange things so often, he habitually asked again.

Gu Xia smiled and said, "Change your expression."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Heng slapped his thigh, clearly agreeing, "Right? I knew that pitiful look she gave me earlier was all an act. Who knows what she's up to right now?"

Seeing this, Gu Xia looked at him with relief.

Silly child, your intelligence has finally prevailed this time.

Yu Heng looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What kind of look is that?"

"It's nothing," Gu Xia replied perfunctorily, "I was just praising your sharp eyes."

Yu Heng was immediately satisfied.

It was as if an invisible tail suddenly appeared behind him, looking smug.

"I'm naturally smart, it's just that some people are blind and haven't seen it."

The group of close associates who were indiscriminately targeted by this 'certain person': "..."

Got it, you're so smart.

Once Mu Qingzhou was certain once again that he couldn't kill Qu Yimian, he couldn't be bothered to talk to her anymore. Talking to this person was a bit of a mental drain; she had already wiped out his entire clan and yet she still asked him why he was standing with people from the cultivation world.

Should we stand with her instead of them?

Did she think that everyone hadn't died tragically enough in that life, and was planning to have him send his entire clan to her slaughter again?

He's not out of his mind; of course he wouldn't do something so stupid.

In fact, if he could, he would love to kill his enemy right now.

However, Qu Yimian felt greatly humiliated by his attitude. She frowned, her icy demonic energy pressed down, and the last trace of hesitation in her heart completely disappeared.

She originally felt somewhat guilty towards Mu Qingzhou, after all, he had sacrificed the entire Spirit Clan because of her, and later, when Gu Xia rescued him, she thought he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qingzhou not only survived, but also brought up these old stories that she had kept deep in her mind.

Most importantly, he sided with his protégé.

In Qu Yimian's view, this meant choosing to stand on the opposite side of herself alongside Gu Xia.

She simply couldn't tolerate this fact.

If that's the case, then it's no wonder she's ruthless.

Qu Yimian's eyes turned cold, and her sword energy flowed like blades, instantly aiming at Mu Qingzhou.

"No matter how you got here, I'll show you what regret is today." The girl's voice was icy. "Brother Qingzhou, you shouldn't have gone against me."

Yue Ming frowned, instinctively reaching out to stop him.

After all, he was the only elder left. Even if he wasn't a direct disciple of the Five Sects, there was no reason for him to watch these children get hurt right under his nose.

If word gets out, it will only make the world think that he, as the sect leader, is incompetent.

However, someone else was faster than him.

"I said……"

Gu Xia's slightly lazy voice rang out. He gripped his sword and stood in front of Mu Qingzhou, effortlessly blocking the cold attack in front of him.

"I brought this person here. If you want to kill him, shouldn't you ask for my permission first?"
