The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Mu Yao was escorted back to Jianxin Sect by Song Hanyi and the other two, and was finally brought to Ling Xiao's courtyard. At this time, Ling Xiao, under the nourishment of Yun Li's continuous spiritual power, had a slight improvement in his health, but his cultivation had fallen to the Nascent Soul stage. If he did not practice well, he would not be able to return to his former peak state.

Seeing Mu Yao tied up in such a mess, Ling Xiao's heart tightened and his body shook involuntarily. His blood boiled and he shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you doing this to her?"

Song Hanyi's face was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, she is not who you think she is. She pretended to be Li Wanqing, and maybe even pretended to be a junior sister!"

Ling Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He tried to calm down and immediately used magic to check Mu Yao's aura. As expected, he found that Mu Yao had no trace of using magic. Before, he vaguely felt that Mu Yao seemed to have some unusual aura. But now because of his own cultivation, he couldn't be sure if this was the reason. But he looked carefully at the person in front of him, and the temperament she exuded was indeed not like Wanqing!

However, he thought of the second half of Song Hanyi's sentence, and that the woman in front of him might have pretended to be Lu Qingxi, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably flustered. He asked, "What do you mean by that? Explain it to me clearly!"

Gu Yuan took over the conversation and began to tell the whole story from beginning to end. He described in detail how Mu Yao pretended to be Li Wanqing to approach them, and how they later discovered Mu Yao's true identity. After finishing, he muttered to himself: "No wonder Li Wanqing disappeared when Junior Sister left the Cliff of Repentance. How could one person appear in two places at the same time?"

Mu Jingxuan couldn't help but speak up: "That's why I couldn't help but get close to Senior Sister...but she didn't want to tell us."

As soon as she finished speaking, the hearts of the three men present began to sink. They realized that Lu Qingxi refused to tell them the truth, and even though she knew that they were deeply in love with "Li Wanqing", she chose to leave without saying a word. This resolute attitude made them feel extremely lost and desperate.

Before the few of them could have any more words to say, Mu Yao on the ground suddenly seemed to be touched by something and started laughing hysterically: "Hahahahahahahaha, you all, one by one, are just like me, just poor creatures who can't get the love you want. No, no, you are worse off than me! Lu Qingxi doesn't want to have anything to do with you at all. Don't worry, she will get what she wants! You will probably never see her again!"

When Song Hanyi, Gu Yuan and Mu Jingxuan heard this, their anger was instantly replaced by worry, and they all showed anxious expressions on their faces. They knew that although Mu Yao's words were harsh, they might hide some truth. They were worried about Lu Qingxi's safety, and even more worried that they would never see her again.

Ling Xiao was still immersed in the shock, and did not immediately understand the deep meaning of Mu Yao's words. But when he saw the three people's nervous expressions, he also had an ominous premonition in his heart. He instantly flashed in front of Mu Yao, grabbed the other's collar, and asked in a trembling voice: "What were you talking about just now?"

Mu Yao looked back at Ling Xiao fearlessly, with a mocking arc on her lips. She said slowly: "I said, the Lu Qingxi you have been thinking about has been captured by the demon king. You will never see her again!"

When Ling Xiao heard Mu Yao's words, he suddenly felt a strong fear and uneasiness in his heart. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately flew out on his sword, heading straight for the demon king's cave. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to find Lu Qingxi as soon as possible and ensure her safety.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Ling Xiao took a deep breath, gathered all his spiritual power, and began to use it to transmit sound to the demon king. His voice was extremely penetrating and instantly spread throughout the cave.

The demon king in the cave was sitting leisurely on a stone chair, looking at Lu Qingxi who was pinned by him. He originally captured Lu Qingxi just to save his life, but he didn't expect that her appearance would attract so many people's attention. He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, it seems that he really caught the right person this time.

Hearing Ling Xiao's spiritual power transmission, the demon king's eyes flashed with interest. He stood up and slowly walked to the cave entrance, wanting to see what was going on outside. When he saw Ling Xiao, whose cultivation had dropped sharply, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

“Hey, isn’t this Lingxiao Immortal from the Jianxin Sect? How come you have lost so much of your cultivation and yet you still dare to come to me?” The Demon King taunted.

Ling Xiao ignored the Demon King's ridicule, and he only had the firm thought of rescuing Lu Qingxi in his heart. He gritted his teeth and tried to break through the defense line set up by the Demon King, but the reality of his cultivation level dropping drastically made him feel powerless.

The demon king looked at Ling Xiao's persistent eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips. He waved his sleeves lightly, and a powerful demon power attacked Ling Xiao like a strong wind. Ling Xiao tried his best to resist, but the demon power surged like a huge wave and submerged him in an instant.

His body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground. In the dust, Ling Xiao felt as if all his bones were shattered, and the pain made him almost faint. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining his cheeks and collar red.

However, Ling Xiao did not give up. He struggled to stand up, groping on the ground with his hands, trying to find a support point. Seeing this, the demon king smiled coldly and swung out another wave of demonic power, hitting Ling Xiao's chest directly.

Ling Xiao groaned, and his body was hit hard again. He felt as if his internal organs were shattered, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe. But even so, he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to give in.

At this moment, Song Hanyi and the other two arrived in time. When they saw their Master Ling Xiao being beaten so miserably, a trace of anger flashed in their eyes.

Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan stood side by side, the Blazing Dragon Sword and the Dark Phoenix Sword in their hands complemented each other, emitting a dazzling light. Since the last encounter with the Flame Owl, they knew that the Flame Owl was not easy to deal with, so they began to cooperate with each other to practice this high-level swordsmanship called "Demon Slaying Technique" together.

At this moment, facing the powerful demonic power of the demon king, although they knew that their cultivation was far behind the other party, they could only bite the bullet. They took a deep breath, and a trace of determination and resoluteness flashed in their eyes.

Song Hanyi waved his sword, and the Blazing Dragon Sword immediately turned into a fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards Yan Xiao. Mu Jingxuan was not to be outdone, and the Ghost Phoenix Sword turned into a green phoenix, fighting side by side with the fire dragon. The fire dragon and the green phoenix intertwined in the air, forming a spectacular picture that was dazzling.

However, Yan Xiao was the demon king after all, and he was in his territory at the moment. His black energy covered the entire sky like a dark cloud, dispelling the attacks of Fire Dragon and Green Phoenix one by one. Although Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan cooperated well, they still couldn't overwhelm Yan Xiao.

At this time, Gu Yuan saw that the time was right, so he secretly took out the "Shadow Magic Box". The box exuded a faint magical aura, seemingly ordinary, but it contained powerful magic. Gu Yuan silently chanted a spell, and the moment he opened it, a strong magic light was stimulated, piercing Yan Xiao's eyes.

Yan Xiao was disturbed by the sudden magic light and could not see the surrounding situation clearly for a while. Song Hanyi and Mu Jingxuan took the opportunity to lift Ling Xiao up together. The four knew that they were no match for Yan Xiao, so they quickly evacuated the battlefield.

They rode their swords all the way, not daring to stop for even a second. After a while of running around, the four of them finally returned to Jianxin Sect in a mess.
