The Chongyun Sect is already a big sect, but even the Sect Leader may not be able to defeat Jealousy, let alone the man in front of him.

Situ Xiayan felt that if the immortal cultivators went to war with the demon world, they would only be slaughtered. What price did they pay for the peace agreement between the two worlds that was signed back then, or what was the hidden story behind it? She vaguely realized that the history in the books was just a cover-up.

Situ Xiayan was very frustrated. She had no chance of winning with her own abilities. She was lucky enough to be alive because of Qin Shuxue, who spared her life.

Qin Shuxue didn't know whether she should play dead or run away, but since the man looked reasonable, she tried to reason with him: "Please... don't kill them..."

Situ Xiayan's face looked even uglier, as if her life was saved by Qin Shuxue.

The man chuckled, as if laughing at Qin Shuxue's childishness: "It was me who let Jealousy kill them all. And you're begging me not to kill them?"

Although she said this with a smile, Qin Shuxue felt a sense of cold majesty. She was going to die anyway, so she gritted her trembling teeth and said, "They...can't beat you. You...let them go."

"Okay. I'll listen to you." For some reason, the man started to act affectionate and tapped Qin Shuxue on the forehead, making Qin Shuxue so disgusted that she got goosebumps all over her body and wanted to hit her head against the wall. No matter how red the blood was, it couldn't be wiped clean. His touch...

"Then let's go, everyone?" The man threw Qin Shuxue in front of a few people. "If the poison in your body is not cured, you will die in three days."

The elders were very tactful and spoke carefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. We will leave now."

The man seemed to look down on them. He pointed at the stumps on the ground and asked, "These disciples are still here. Aren't the elders going to take them away?"

These words made everyone present break out in cold sweats, except for Situ Xiayan, whose arms were injured and who was plagued by poisonous miasma. She was busy saving people and had a clear conscience.

For a moment, the elders didn't know what the man meant. Whether they wanted to let them go or not, someone had to stay here. Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want your lives. The little girl has begged you for so long, I have to keep my promise, right? And you have to go back alive, otherwise how will the younger generations deal with it?"

Seeing that the elders seemed to be grateful, the man showed impatience and waved his hand to tell everyone to get out. The group of defeated soldiers helped each other and quickly left this place of trouble.

"Why do we feel like the bad guys?" Yin Xuanqing dragged his legs in confusion and walked slowly at the end of the team.

If Qin Shuxue's horse had been tied up, Yin Xuanqing might still have a horse to ride. Unfortunately, the battlefield was too chaotic, and the so-called Ferghana horse had long since disappeared, and it might have been eaten by a monster.

This was the first time that Situ Xia Yan participated in this kind of activity, and also the first time that she saw these people with such faces. She couldn't help but become cynical: "Don't care who is a good person, some people really don't have any manners at all." She has always respected her elders, especially the teachers who taught them knowledge. Today, she realized that their usual elegance was just an act. When they really encounter problems, everyone just wants to protect themselves.

"Okay... Xia Yan, as long as you understand, don't be so stupid next time. I told you not to do it, but you kept fighting..." Qin Shuxue agreed weakly, completely forgetting that the elder they looked down upon was right beside them.

Situ Xiayan just cursed a few times to vent her anger. Seeing Qin Shuxue coming to curse with her, she quickly pulled Qin Shuxue's clothes and made peace: "I think this depends on the person. I believe the master will definitely not do this."

It would be better not to fight to smooth things over. I really don't know whether she wants to ease the atmosphere or make it worse. She is a genius who has been praised for her outstanding performance throughout her life. It is too difficult for her to do this kind of job. If she is asked to hold a whip and kill other people's prestige, I'm afraid she can only do it well.

The most innocent person was Yin Xuanqing. He was just casually chatting about family matters, and was inexplicably involved in this dispute over taking sides, while the protagonist himself was completely unaware of it.

Yin Xuanqing didn't know whether he should give them some advice on the fine tradition of keeping to oneself in class relations...

Forget it, this tradition is not a good thing. Didn’t you see how tragically those disciples died?

Yin Xuanqing couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with the elders. Thinking that his master was also a respected senior who was very close to these people, he quietly approached Situ Xiayan, thinking about seeking another famous teacher.

The group walked back to the post station. The post station seemed to be in good condition. I wonder if it paid protection money to someone.

When the shop assistant saw Qin Shuxue, he immediately recognized her as the one who borrowed the horse on credit. Then he looked at Situ Xiayan and confirmed that she was from Chongyun Sect. After all, Situ Xiayan looked like this, and it was hard to forget her after just one look.

The clerk entertained them warmly and picked out a few good horses to send them on their way. When the elders paid the bill, they found that Qin Shuxue still owed money. Their faces turned blue with anger, which showed that they really disliked this disciple. However, Situ Xiayan could not guess the reason anyway, as she was not the kind of person who knew how to beat around the bush. Qin Shuxue just thought that the horse he borrowed was too expensive, and looked away guiltily.

There was no conversation along the way. After arriving at Chongyun Sect, the elders just abandoned the matter and threw Qin Shuxue to the ground. The leader turned around and said to Situ Xiayan: "Take her to find Yan Yuze. After this matter is over, I will personally ask the head of the sect to come forward and deal with the traitor!"

Situ Xiayan caught Qin Shuxue with her body and looked at the elder in disbelief: "What did she do? What did she do wrong? What are you going to do to her?" She even forgot to say the honorifics.

"Colluding with demons and rebelling against the sect, isn't that enough?"

"Qin Shuxue didn't do that, she came to save us!" Situ Xiayan's little head really couldn't think of so much, she just thought that these elders were angry and biting people randomly. Of course, her opinion was correct to a certain extent.

"Then tell me, why did that man kill us all but spare her life? He even let us go because of her words?"

Seeing him say that, Situ Xiayan opened her mouth to refute, but she really had no idea where to start. Yes, how could Qin Shuxue know such a demon who obviously manipulated the whole thing? She glanced at Qin Shuxue's face, which was still slightly blue due to lack of oxygen, and she didn't seem to have recovered yet. She believed Qin Shuxue, but others would never think so.

Yin Xuanqing knew that it was useless to say anything, so he pulled Situ Xiayan away: "Let's go first and heal her injuries."
