Half a day ago, Qin Gu received a message from Pei Yun asking for help. Without hesitation, he tore through space and came to Bixia Island...

Although the leader of Xianxia Sect secretly colluded with the tree demon to reach a deal, on the surface, Xianxia Sect called this an event to share the Immortal Soul Fruit with the monks on the island, and also earned a good reputation for itself.

When Qin Gu arrived at Xianxia Sect, Sect Master Han was inviting those monks who had walked out of the Soul Refining Tower alive to share a dinner.

A Xianxia Sect guard disciple hurried into the main hall, panting and about to report.

"What are you so flustered about?!" An elder beside Sect Master Han scolded in a low voice. Sect Master Han also put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the disciple with a frown.

"Someone...someone has trespassed into our sect and is heading towards...the Soul Refining Tower!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy environment gradually quieted down, and the monks attending the dinner looked at the leaders of Xianxia Sect in confusion.

Sect Master Han's eyes flashed with brilliance. Without bothering to appease the people present, he immediately stood up and flew towards the Soul Refining Tower.

The top leaders of Xianxia Sect also knew the secret of the Soul Refining Tower. They looked at each other and had a bad premonition.

"Let's go and take a look!" The Great Elder took the lead and walked out of the hall.

The cultivators who came out of the Soul Refining Tower were even more curious. The Soul Refining Tower had been closed, yet someone dared to trespass in. The Xianxia Sect was the most powerful sect outside the island. Although it had declined a bit in recent years, its foundation was still there.

Trespassing into the Soul Refining Tower is equivalent to trespassing into the Xianxia Sect. Who is so bold!

When this group of people came to the outside of the Soul Refining Tower with the mentality of watching the fun, they saw a man in purple clothes holding a sword, standing in the air, and split the entire Soul Refining Tower with one sword!

Everyone was stunned by this stunning sword strike! It was as if a god had created the world. Such immense power made them tremble with fear!

There has always been an unspoken rule in the world of cultivation, that is, the strength of sword cultivators is stronger than ordinary cultivators with the same level of cultivation.

And at this moment, they truly felt the legendary "one sword breaks all laws"!

"Who is this powerful senior? His strength is so formidable, and his aura seems to far surpass that of Sect Master Han..."

"Too powerful! Although the sword force didn't come towards me, the soaring sword intent affected my consciousness..."

"Does this powerful person have any grudge against the Xianxia Sect? Why did he destroy the Soul Refining Tower?"

"Look! What kind of tree is that?!"

"Such a strong demonic aura! It turns out the tree in the Soul Refining Tower isn't a fairy tree, but a demonic tree..."

"There are actually demons occupying the Xianxia Sect!"

There was actually a formation in the Soul Refining Tower to protect the tree monster's evil spirit. At this time, the Soul Refining Tower was split in half, and the tree monster was completely exposed in front of everyone. The faces of these onlookers changed drastically, and they realized something belatedly. They looked at the top leaders of Xianxia Sect with unfriendly eyes.

Sect Master Han and the elders looked dejected. They certainly wanted to stop the sword cultivator's actions, but he was too powerful and they couldn't even get close to him. They could only watch him "do evil" in Xianxia Sect.

"Senior!" The moment the door of the Soul Refining Tower opened, Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng knew that Qin Gu had come to rescue them. They breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Qin Gu respectfully.

Qin Gu nodded at them, his eyes swept across the mortals behind the two of them, his expression became serious, and his eyes shot coldly at the tree demon.

The tree demon was frightened and stunned. He could feel that the strength of the sword cultivator in front of him was far beyond his. His pressure was pressing on him, and the tree demon was forced to lie on the ground. The sword that Qin Gu had just used not only split the Soul Refining Tower, but also injured his body by the sharp sword energy.

Unlike Luo Rufeng's previous injury to his skin, Qin Gu's sword directly caused his demon pill to be covered with cracks, and it was now showing signs of collapse.

Except for Pei Yun and the other two, everyone else present was intimidated by Qin Gu's aura. The scene was silent and no one dared to breathe. They only secretly watched the powerful swordsman flying down from mid-air.

"Senior, the Xianxia Sect is secretly colluding with this tree demon. Not only are they deliberately luring cultivators into the tower to become the tree demon's prey, they're also gathering these mortals under the guise of recruiting slaves, forcing them into the Soul Refining Tower to be consumed by the tree demon..."

Pei Yun and the other two came to Qin Gu's side, looked coldly at the Xianxia Sect's high-ranking officials, and exposed the Soul Refining Tower's conspiracy. "...The cultivators entered the Soul Refining Tower for the tree demon's fruit, which can be said to be a willing fight. But the Xianxia Sect deceived these mortals into serving as food for the tree demon. This is a violation of the Taoist Temple's law that 'cultivators shall not kill mortals'!"

"Senior, there were over 50,000 mortals who came in with us, but now less than 20% are gone. Over 40,000 people have already lost their lives..."

Luo Rufeng also said, "And according to the information we have found out, this is not the first time that the Xianxia Sect has done this. The Soul Refining Tower's 'grand event' has been held for several sessions. You can imagine how many innocent mortals have died here..."

The reports of the two made everyone present more and more frightened. The cultivators who entered the Soul Refining Tower were naturally shocked that all this was a conspiracy of the Xianxia Sect!

For a moment, some were relieved, while others were terrified. Of course, these cultivators looked at the Xianxia Sect leaders with anger on their faces...

However, the Xianxia Sect's leader and elders had no time to bother with these small-time figures. The secrets exposed by Pei Yun and the others had completely sunk their hearts. Hearing the words "Taoist Temple" filled them with even greater fear! This meant that the three people before them were quite important!

Sect Master Han gritted his teeth, stepped forward and saluted Qin Gu. "Great Senior, our Xianxia Sect knows nothing about what these two juniors are talking about. Someone must be using the Xianxia Sect's name to do such a cruel thing..."

At this point, they can only deny it stubbornly. Although they are outside the island, they also know that the Taoist Temple is in charge of Taoist practitioners in the world, and the crime of "killing mortals" will definitely be severely punished!

"Hmph! Sect Master Han, you'd better think carefully before you speak. This tree demon is not dead yet! Senior, as long as you search the soul of this demon, you will know the truth of the matter..." Pei Yun snorted.

Sect Leader Han raised his head and looked at Pei Yun with a sinister expression. Only then did he realize that Pei Yun looked familiar and remembered that she was the woman in the secret realm that day.

However, this was not the time to bring up this matter. Sect Master Han secretly glanced at the tree demon lying on the ground not far away and unable to move, his fists clenched tightly.

"I will send you, this tree demon and these mortals back to the Divine Realm City. You will explain to the elders of the Taoist Temple then..." Qin Gu said as he waved his sleeves. Two chains flew out and tied up Sect Master Han and the tree demon respectively.

"Senior, the body of this tree demon is too huge to move. It is better to set up an isolation formation to prevent the people from Xianxia Sect from taking action. The tree demon has devoured the souls of many people. If these souls are damaged, they will not be able to reincarnate..." Pei Yun reminded.

Qin Gu nodded slightly, looking at the miserable mortals behind the two of them, and said, "I will also send these mortals to God's Domain City for resettlement..."

Upon hearing this, these mortals couldn't help but cry with joy. Meng Yi looked at his sister and asked, "Sister, where are we going?"

Meng Xia laughed and burst into tears. She wiped the tears that wouldn't stop flowing with the back of her hand, and limped over, pulling her brother towards Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng. She said with a trembling voice, "Thank you so much, my benefactors! Thank you so much, my benefactors!"

As soon as she spoke, the mortals behind her knelt down in the direction of Pei Yun and the others, kowtowed to them with immense gratitude, and said, "Thank you, my two benefactors..."

In the past few days, they have experienced the darkest and closest moments of their lives to death. If it weren't for the two people in front of them who repeatedly protected them, they would definitely not have survived!

The scene before them made the Xianxia Sect's sect leader and elders feel very embarrassed, and they hated Pei Yun and the others in their hearts. If it weren't for these two, the secret of the Soul Refining Tower would not have been exposed, and it would not have attracted the attention of the powerful!

However, Sect Leader Han is the leader of their Xianxia Sect and can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the entire Bixia Island. How can he be taken away just like that!

"Senior, although you are a powerful person with great strength, this is the territory of my Xianxia Sect. You came here without saying anything, and you destroyed the Soul Refining Tower as soon as you arrived. Now you want to take my Sect Master away. This is probably not appropriate!"

The Great Elder of Xianxia Sect suppressed his fear and blocked Qin Gu's way. "...Even if they are from Dao Temple, they have no right to take our Sect Master away before finding out the truth..."

Qin Gu raised his eyes, and there was a hint of sharpness in his indifferent gaze, which made the Great Elder's heart tremble, and he felt more and more guilty as he spoke those righteous words.

Pei Yun looked around and saw that the senior members of the Xianxia Sect were all lowering their heads, looking angry but unable to speak. She turned to the elder who had spoken and asked, "Do you know who is standing before you?"

Everyone looked over and heard her say, "This is Venerable Qin Gu, an elder of the Jijian Sect, the world's number one sect, and also an inner hall elder of the Dao Temple. The Dao Temple governs the Dao cultivators of the world. As an elder of the temple, Venerable Qin Gu naturally has the authority to punish cultivators who harm mortals..."

Qin Gu's reputation had long spread throughout the Haoyu Continent, and his strength was one of the best among the cultivators today. Who in the world of cultivation didn't know Qin Gu? No one present had expected to see this legendary figure here!
