Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Shi Yu pursed his lips and said, "Do you know that if you go out this time, you will become the target of public criticism?"

Shen Zhaozhao was somewhat helpless: "Didn't you force me to show up?"

Shi Yu scratched his head in annoyance: "That's because I didn't know it was you."

Shen Zhaozhao looked at him suspiciously: "Why, are you going to protect me?"

Shi Yu's eyes widened, and his voice became much louder: "Who wants to protect you? I just... I still say the same thing, I don't want us to be on opposite sides of the enemy. It's not too late for you to turn back now."

Seeing that Shi Yu hadn't returned from catching the evildoer's accomplice for a long time, Xie Qingyao urged loudly, "Shi Yu, did you catch him?"

Shi Yu hinted at her with his eyes, asking her to make a decision quickly.

Shen Zhaozhao didn't even look at him, but cast a spell to continue obstructing Xie Yanshu, rejecting him with her actions.

Shi Yu was almost mad. Shen Zhaozhao was determined to help that devil. If he stopped her, the movement of the two of them might attract more attention from other people. But if he didn't stop her, he couldn't just keep wasting time like this.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to go back and report, saying that he had not caught anyone.

"Don't interfere. I will pretend I don't know anything about this matter. Don't come out." Shi Yu turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Zhaozhao shook his head, thinking that he was very naive. How could the leader and elders of Qingwei Sect be deceived so easily?

Just as she thought, in front of the dense forest, the golden flames made of the burning talisman paper spread out in all directions.

"Traitor! How dare you help the demons?" Elder Ziyuan said with a cold expression.

Shi Yu stood in front of her and hurriedly explained, "Elder Ziyuan, that's not the case. That person has already escaped. Shen Zhaozhao rushed here after hearing the news that we were going to attack the demon clan."

Shen Zhaozhao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Shi Yu, who always felt bad for her, would help her now.

Elder Ziyuan's face showed a hint of anger. "Shiyu, don't try to cover up for her. Who else could it be if not her, the Thousand Silk Spring Fu technique that has repeatedly interfered with Yanshu's life?"

The Thousand Silk Spring of Talismans was more complicated than other spells, and few people could master it to perfection. Moreover, none of her other disciples had yet come into contact with this spell, and Shen Zhaozhao had just demonstrated it during morning exercises.

Elder Ziyuan looked at the wound on her fingertip that hadn't healed yet and sneered, "Drawing talismans with blood, you're quite good."

Shen Zhaozhao gently pushed Shi Yu away and looked at Elder Ziyuan: "Master, it was indeed me who did it."

Seeing her admit it, Elder Ziyuan was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Shen Zhaozhao: "Traitor, today I will discipline you on behalf of your father."

Shen Zhaozhao turned his head away and sneered, "Master, when have you ever truly disciplined me? This slap is my repayment for the small amount of guidance you've given me over the years."

Shi Yu stared at the girl's blushing cheeks, feeling a little sorry for her. Although she spoke decisively, her eyes were slightly red.

"You." Elder Ziyuan was so angry that his hands were shaking. He pinched his fingertips to gather his spirit and threw the talisman directly at her, which exploded with brilliant golden light.

Shen Zhaozhao quickly formed seals and turned them into a barrier to block the surging spiritual energy. The rebounding spiritual energy actually cut off a piece of Elder Ziyuan's sleeve.

Elder Ziyuan's eyes darkened slightly and his expression became quite stiff.

She actually underestimated Shen Zhaozhao.

After more than a year of training in the mountains, Shen Zhaozhao's magic skills had indeed improved significantly, and his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage. At the same time, he had also become even bolder, daring to betray his master and associate with demons.

She must clean up the house today.

Elder Ziyuan once again mobilized even more powerful spiritual power, using his intimidating power to force Shen Zhaozhao to the center of the battlefield.

When the Qingwei Sect disciples saw that Shen Zhaozhao and Elder Ziyuan were fighting, although they did not understand the situation, they all attacked Shen Zhaozhao.

However, before they reached Shen Zhaozhao, several disciples were bitten on the back of the neck by the monsters and dragged several meters away.

The other disciples were knocked to the ground by the sudden black energy, and even Elder Ziyuan was shaken away. He couldn't bear the pressure and spit out blood.

Chu Yu was also stabbed in the shoulder by Xie Yanshu.

Shen Zhaozhao saw blood on the corners of Chu Yu's lips and collar.

With Zhu Yunzhu around, he was too passive, and yet he was still distracted by her.

Shen Zhaozhao shouted, "Chu Yu, focus on the fight. Don't worry about me. I can handle it."

She was telling the truth. Xie Qingyao was seriously injured and was recuperating. Except for Xie Yanshu and Shi Yu, the other disciples on the battlefield were all inferior to her in cultivation. Moreover, there were also magical beasts and demon cultivators fighting against them.

Shi Yu seemed to have no intention of intervening and just stared blankly.

She only needs to deal with Elder Ziyuan. Although she cannot defeat him head-on, she can use roundabout tactics.

"Swish--" A sharp sound tore through the clouds, and the spirit sword swooped down, leaving a long trail with a cold glow.

Accompanied by a high-pitched and anxious voice.

"Disciple, I am here to help you!"

Hearing the voice, Xie Qingyao, who was closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, opened his eyes and squinted his eyes unhappily and said, "Yuanming, what do you mean?"

Elder Yuan Ming stepped down from his sword, stroked his beard, and said cheerfully, "I've been searching for it for a long time, and I finally found it!"

Xie Qingyao was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandered over him, finally landing on his hand, staring at it intently.

His face was somewhat ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What is that in your hand?"

Elder Yuan Ming glanced at him and took out the item, showing it off. "Don't you recognize what this is? You're quite thoughtful. You left the fake one at the sect and sent the real one to Penglai Island. Who are you guarding against?"

It was a bow, no more than five feet long, smooth all over, with a faint iridescence in the sunlight. At either end of the bow were two bluebirds facing each other, their beaks pointed towards each other, their wings spread out, and when the wind blew, a clear, vibrato like the sound of a bell was emitted.

Elder Ziyuan exclaimed, "Golden Feather Rainbow Bow!"

"Yuan Ming." Xie Qingyao's eyes twitched with rage, "Have you known the identity of that evil creature for a long time?"

Elder Yuan Ming was displeased: "What evil creature? He is also your own son!"

Xie Qingyao glanced around the field and glared at Elder Yuan Ming: "Shut up."

Elder Yuan Ming was unconcerned with his threats and smiled amiably: "You can ask me to shut up, but then I will give the Golden Feathered Rainbow Bow to Chu Yu."

Xie Qingyao's brows were filled with anger, and he spat out another mouthful of blood in anger.

How could that be possible? If he gave the Golden Feathered Rainbow Bow to that evil boy, once the Zhu Yun curse was lifted, he would no longer be able to suppress him.

The evil son hates him and will definitely seek revenge on him.

Killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he solemnly instructed Elder Ziyuan, "The Golden Feathered Rainbow Bow is the sect's most precious treasure. How can it fall into the hands of this evil lord? Yuanming has betrayed us. Ziyuan, stop Yuanming at all costs."

Elder Ziyuan was still somewhat doubtful. She was confused by what the two said, but it was true that Yuanming, like her evil disciple, wanted to help the demons.

She attacked Yuan Ming, trying to take the Golden Feathered Rainbow Bow back from his hand.

During the fight, Elder Yuan Ming found an opportunity and used magic to hand the Golden Feathered Rainbow Bow to Shen Zhaozhao.

Chu Yu glanced at Elder Yuan Ming who was in a fierce battle, and felt a strange and awkward emotion in his heart.

This old man helped him even though he knew his identity.

"Zhao Zhao." Chu Yu took out the white jade arrow and handed it to Shen Zhaozhao, smiling at her with his eyes curved. "I only trust you."
