The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan still maintained a vigilant defensive posture. They were like two guardian gods, standing firmly in front of Mu Yao to ensure that she would not be hurt.

As Yun Li left, the invisible protective shield and the mysterious formation gradually dissipated, revealing everything that was originally shrouded in them.

At this moment, Xiao Tao, who had been waiting anxiously outside the protective shield, rushed in like a wild horse. Her eyes were full of panic and worry. She ran straight to Mu Jingxuan and hugged her tightly. Her childish voice could not hide her panic. "That monster, where did she take my sister Wanqing?"

Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan remained on guard, like two standing stone tablets, guarding Mu Yao unwaveringly to prevent any potential threats from approaching her. As Yun Li left, the protective shield and formations that originally enveloped the surroundings slowly dissipated, revealing the originally hidden space.

At this moment, Xiao Tao, who had been waiting anxiously outside the protective shield, rushed into the space like an arrow. Her eyes were full of anxiety and worry. She hugged Mu Jingxuan and asked with a trembling voice, "Where did that monster take my sister Wanqing?"

This sudden question was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility around. The air seemed to freeze, Song Hanyi and Ye Youming looked at Xiao Tao in astonishment, while Mu Jingxuan also stared at Xiao Tao in his arms in a daze, and no one spoke for a while.

In this silent atmosphere, Mu Yao's face turned pale in an instant, and her body trembled slightly, as if she had suffered a great shock. When she looked up, she was no longer greeted by the two concerned faces before, but two faces full of deep doubt.

Song Hanyi and Ye Youming's minds were filled with a storm, and they began to recall Wanqing's various performances in the Secret Realm of Space and Time and the Secret Realm of Bai Ze. Those seemingly ordinary details became extremely glaring at this moment, making their doubts even stronger.

Xiao Tao seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere. She explained embarrassedly, "Sister Wanqing came to see us before, on the day when this fake Sister Wanqing came. I saw Sister's back and it looked so familiar, so I went straight up to hug her. But I saw that Sister's face was different after she turned around, and I thought I had made a mistake. But Sister Wanqing habitually pulls my little finger to massage me, and this is a little secret between us. Later, Sister Wanqing told me that she was my Sister Wanqing. Oh, right! Sister Wanqing didn't let me tell you." After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand, with a flash of annoyance in her eyes.

Mu Yao's face became paler and paler, like an autumn leaf hit by frost. She knew that she had nowhere to escape at this moment. Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan's eyes were as sharp as swords, piercing her heart, as if they wanted to analyze her inner secrets one by one. She understood that her lies and disguises were like fragile bubbles, which would burst at any touch. What awaited her would be the inescapable truth and severe punishment.

Song Hanyi and Gu Yuan's expressions changed several times in a short moment. The shock and confusion in their hearts were like surging waves, and they couldn't calm down for a while. They never thought that Lu Qingxi, who they always thought was stupid, troublesome and spoiled, was actually the "Li Wanqing" they had been looking for. This sudden truth made them unable to accept it for a while.

In contrast, Mu Jingxuan's reaction was the fastest. She had already felt the strong sense of security that her senior sister brought her in the Bai Ze Secret Realm, and she always unconsciously approached her in the Bai Ze Secret Realm. At this moment, she looked at the different states of the three people in front of her, and she had already made a decision in her heart. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound steady: "Brothers, I think the most important thing for us now is to bring this girl pretending to be a senior sister back to Jianxin Sect, and then slowly find out her purpose for doing so."

Gu Yuan heard this, and his mind was full of thoughts. However, when he saw Mu Yao trembling all over, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He did not speak, but directly reached out and took out a rope to restrain cultivation from the storage bag. The rope looked ordinary, but it contained powerful magic power. Once tied, no matter how high the cultivation was, it would be impossible to break free. He mercilessly put the rope around Mu Yao and tied her up tightly. Then, he raised his head and said to Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan, "Let's go back to Jianxin Sect."

In this way, the three of them, with the tied up Mu Yao, set out on the journey back to Jianxin Sect. Their hearts were full of doubts and vigilance, not knowing what challenges and truths they would face next. But they knew that no matter what, they had to persevere until they found out all the truth.

The demon king moved as fast as the wind, holding Lu Qingxi in his arms and returning to the demon world in a hurry. His speed was as fast as a flash of lightning that streaked across the sky. His cave was located deep in the demon world, secretive and solemn. At this moment, the door was open, and the demon king stepped directly in, isolating himself from the outside world.

At the same time, Yun Li, who followed closely, stood outside the Demon King's cave, his eyes full of worry and helplessness. The demonic energy of the demon world was like an invisible chain, binding the magic power of the cultivators, making him helpless here. He knew very well that he had been consuming spiritual power recently and had not recovered yet. With his current strength alone, he could not force his way into the Demon King's cave.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. Yun Li looked back and saw Xuan Yi walking slowly towards him. He had been riding his sword all the way and had consumed a lot of energy. His face was a little pale at this moment, but his eyes were shining with determination.

"You're here." Yun Li said softly, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Xuan Yi nodded, then hurried forward and tried to use his spiritual power to open the stone door in front of him, but his body had reached its limit and he fell to the ground soon.

Yun Li walked behind Xuan Yi. He stretched out his palm and gently pressed it on Xuan Yi's back, and began to transfer spiritual power to him. Xuan Yi felt a warm power flowing into his body, and he immediately felt refreshed.

"Thank you." Xuan Yi said in a low voice, his heart full of gratitude.

Yun Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it. He looked up in the direction of the cave, frowning: "This evil spirit is too strong, our magic power will be greatly limited here."

Xuan Yi nodded. She also knew the power of demonic energy. Demonic energy can not only erode the spiritual energy and magic power of cultivators, making it difficult for them to perform their cultivation normally, but also cause damage to the cultivators' body and mind. Being surrounded by demonic energy for a long time may erode the soul of the cultivator, causing symptoms such as restlessness and hallucinations. In severe cases, it may even cause the cultivation to regress or even lead to obsession.

The two stood outside the cave, their hearts filled with worry. They knew that even if they worked together, they would not be able to force their way into the demon king's cave. Moreover, they both came in a hurry and did not bring any measures to protect themselves from demonic energy.

"Let's go back to the sect first." Yun Li finally made a decision, "We need to discuss a strategy before we come to look for Lu Qingxi."

Xuan Yi nodded in agreement. They knew that this was not the time to act impulsively, and they needed to think calmly and formulate the most appropriate plan.

So, the two turned and left, leaving the Demon King's cave in silence. But the worry and determination in their hearts were like a blazing flame, illuminating their way forward.
