Deep in the cave, Li Jin'er looked at her brother who was sitting on the side meditating and practicing, sighed, lowered her head and continued to embroider the shoe upper.

The deep purple is densely embroidered with light-colored auspicious clouds, which requires great care and labor.

The pair of shoes on Li Fuyi's feet had the same pattern on them, but with a black base and gray auspicious clouds. The pair in her hand was made according to Mo Zheng's shoe size.

In this dim cave, there were only flickering candlelight and dancing torches, and not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate.

She had to squint to see the needle and thread in her hand clearly.

Imprisoned here, day by day, she gradually came to accept herself.

Although the ugly scars all over the body are ugly, in a place like this where there is no sunlight, if I don’t look in the mirror, I won’t see them and won’t be bothered by them.

When she wasn't having an attack, she would quietly find something to do.

He begged Li Fuyi to get some cloth and needles and thread so that he could make various clothes for his brother and his master Mo Zheng.

When she had an attack, she would still become extremely crazy, pointing at the sky and cursing the earth, digging her sharp claws frantically on the stone walls of the cave, and the cave was expanded several times by her.

Although she always felt that this might be how her life would be, it was a pity that her brother had to stay here with her.

Deep down in his heart, he even had a desperate thought - to end his own life so that his younger brother Li Fuyi could pursue his own future without any worries.

However, when Li Fuyi first noticed his sister's idea, he made a harsh statement:

"Sister, if you were killed by someone else, that would be fine."

"I will do whatever it takes, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, to avenge you."

"But if you choose to end your life, do you want me to end my life to accompany you in your burial?"

"Or... wait for me to destroy this world with my own hands, and bury you both with me?"

Li Jin'er was so shocked by his words that the knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Through his deep eyes, she saw a completely unfamiliar and tyrannical brother.

He wasn't joking, nor was he bluffing; he was serious.

The madness revealed in his words made Li Jiner feel an unprecedented fear.

She immediately thought of her master Mo Zheng and quickly grabbed Li Fuyi's arm and asked:

"What about Master? What about Senior Sister and Junior Brother? Are you going to destroy them too?"

Li Fuyi looked at Li Jin'er's panic-stricken expression, and the smile in his eyes quietly disappeared, and his face remained lifeless.

"Sister is right. Then I will kill everyone except them, so they will be safe."

Li Jin'er was speechless and stared at Li Fuyi for a long time before she regained her voice tremblingly:

"Fuyi, how could you do this..." She could hardly believe her ears.

Such arrogant and terrifying words actually came from the mouth of his usually gentle brother.

Li Fuyi smiled, "Sister, you don't understand."

"To me, besides you, there are only them in this world."

"If you leave and they are well, I won't have anything to worry about."

His gaze turned to the distance, as if he was gazing at a world that only he could see:

"I would pay any price if it meant they were safe."

"But if anyone dares to hurt you, I will take revenge, no matter the cost!"

Li Jiner felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.

Looking at Li Fuyi, with those few words, the aura around him became stronger and stronger, as if an invisible force was surging in his body.

A scary guess:

"Fuyi! Your Dao Heart..." His voice trembled as he tried his best to resist saying the word that terrified all the immortal cultivators, "Inner Demon?"

Li Fuyi smiled more calmly and shook his head, "My heart is at peace, so where does the inner demon come from?"

"Sister, if you think what I just said is a demon in your heart?" His chuckle was very comfortable and relaxed. "Then... maybe I am the demon itself."

"When we first entered the Dao, our master asked us to examine our hearts. My heart is the same and has never changed."

"Sister, don't worry, I don't have any inner demons." His eyes were extremely clear and his mind was steady.

Li Jin'er first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again.

She always thought she was too obsessed, but it seemed her brother was far superior to her.

"Fuyi, sister believes in you." Li Jiner's voice softened.

Trying to comfort him, "There are so many beautiful things in the world, but you... are easily blinded by one thing, which is not good."

Li Fuyi looked at Li Jiner, her eyes as gentle as ever.

"Sister, I know you are worried about me. But you have to believe me, I will not let anyone hurt you, nor will I let anyone hurt them." The calm and powerful voice was full of firm and indestructible belief.

"As long as you are all well, I will naturally remain the same me."

This is a promise and a requirement.

"Since I have been able to reach my current level, there may be a way for me among the thousands of paths. There is no need to worry." As he spoke, a faint sense of recognition from the heavens descended upon him.

"But Sister, please promise me that you will never commit suicide again. That would make my heart unbalanced and I would lose control of myself."

Li Jin'er looked at the colorful light emanating from Li Fuyi in astonishment, and finally believed what he said.

Heaven approves!

She nodded gently and promised: "Fuyi, I promise you that I will never have such thoughts again."

"Sister, please stay here until you heal me. Let's go back together and kowtow to Master and apologize."

Just like that, the siblings reached an agreement.

The two of them settled down deep in the cave tacitly.

When Li Fuyi went out, Li Jin'er asked him to tie himself up to prevent him from going crazy.

He quietly left the succubus to watch over her while he went out alone to investigate the situation, only showing up to lend a hand when necessary.

Even though the power of the ghost realm was expanding, they still couldn't wait for the passage between the ghost realm and the ethereal world to open.

On this day, Li Fuyi flew on his sword as usual to Tianze to visit his master. In order to pass through the mountain protection formation smoothly without alerting others, he had to bring the succubus along as well.

But he came up empty-handed. The entire Tianze Peak was pitch black, without a trace of life.

After waiting at the top of Tianze Peak for half a night but no one showed up, I had no choice but to go to the main peak and try my luck.

Then, he heard a heart-shaking news from the disciple on patrol duty:

Master received his token yesterday and was invited to go to Jiuhe Peak alone for an appointment. Senior Sister Lin Moran and Junior Brother Hua Jiantang followed him.

Everyone in the sect thought that this was a signal that he intended to return to the sect.

After all, over the years, even though Li Fuyi had been living outside, he had always regarded himself as a disciple of the Zichen Sword Sect.

Now he asked someone to send a token for help, claiming that his elder sister Li Jin'er had died, he was injured, and he missed his master.

However, due to shame, he did not dare to return to the sect directly, and only hoped to reunite with his master at Jiuhe Peak.

Everyone was happy about this and was looking forward to Mo Zheng taking him back.

After all, the culprit of what happened that day was the ghost vine from the ghost realm. Even if Li Jiner did something wrong, he is now dead.

As a younger brother, what Li Fuyi did out of family affection is understandable.

Li Fuyi followed the patrolling disciples and listened all the way, feeling a chill in his heart.

How could Master go to Jiuhe Peak alone?!

My fellow uncles and aunts, isn’t there anyone in the sect who can stop him?

Let the succubus come out of invisibility and appear in front of you.

He grabbed the patrolling disciple and said urgently, "My master went alone! How could he go alone?"

When the patrolling brothers saw that it was Li Fuyi, they were first surprised and delighted, and then felt panic.

Seeing Li Fuyi's face clearly, they all exclaimed in surprise: "Big Brother!!! Big Brother, you are really back?"

Later I realized that Li Fuyi was alone, and the headmaster and others who went to pick him up were not there.

"The headmaster was worried that it would be inconvenient to talk with so many people around, so he deliberately left everyone else and went alone..."

"Brother, your badge is our proof! The peak masters..." They were halfway through their words when their eyes suddenly turned to look at Li Fuyi's waist.

“I let you go with confidence…”

Li Fuyi's waist was empty, and the badge that was supposed to be hanging on it was missing. His face suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Brother...your badge?"

Li Fuyi kicked her foot and said, "The waist badge was shattered in a fierce battle and has long been lost. How could it still be a token of trust?"

He hurriedly summoned the Taiwei Sword and leaped forward, ready to rush to Jiuhe Peak. "Hurry up and tell my uncle and uncle-in-law to come to our aid! Jiuhe Peak is acting rashly, and I haven't sent anyone to tell them!"
