Xiao Yirao shook his head gently, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. That smile actually carried a bit of relief and doting: "There is no need to cancel the contract. The master it is looking for is you."

Before he finished speaking, the nine-tailed spirit cat seemed to have received some kind of call. It jumped up from beside Xiao Yi's legs and landed lightly on Yun Yue's shoulder. Its nine tails gently wrapped around her neck and rubbed it affectionately.

Xiao Yirao gently stroked the smooth fur of the nine-tailed civet cat, and a hint of inexplicable tenderness flashed in his eyes.

“Perhaps, we have known it for a long time.”

The nine-tailed spirit cat seemed to understand what he said, and wisdom gleamed in its eyes.

Nine tails wrapped around Xiao Yirao's legs, as if telling the story of their past fate.

There is a faint sense of nostalgia in the air, as if time has gone back at this moment.

Yun Yue frowned slightly, her eyes moving between the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat and Xiao Yirao.

"Is this your old pet? What if it has already formed a contract with me? Look, the light of the contract hasn't even faded yet, but it has already recognized me as its master."

As she spoke, she gently raised her palm, which was still emitting a faint glow. The power of the contract flowed faintly, and there seemed to be an invisible thread connecting her and the nine-tailed spirit cat.

"But it is said that the Xuantian Sect's guardian beasts have never contracted a master. Or do you think this nine-tailed spirit cat has a connection with you and want to make a contract with it?"

"Then I'll find a way to terminate the contract with it. But you have to promise me to go to the Jingyuan Sect and rescue those two old men."

Xiao Yirao shook his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"There's no need to cancel the contract. The master it's looking for is you."

Before he finished speaking, the nine-tailed spirit cat seemed to have received some kind of call.

It leaped up from Xiaoyi's legs and landed lightly on Yunyue's shoulder. Its nine tails gently wrapped around her neck, rubbing against her affectionately.

"I promised you before that if you bring back the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, I will rescue the two leaders."

"Now that you've done what you promised me, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

Yun Yueqing blinked her big eyes, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Yun Yueqing flashed and jumped to Xiao Yirao's side, grabbed Xiao Yirao's arm, and rushed away.

As they walked through the forest paths, the leaves were moved by their speed, creating waves of green.

The gate of the Jingyuan Sect is faintly visible in the night, and the ancient stone steps are covered with a layer of silver gauze by the moonlight.

The ancient trees on both sides are towering, and their branches and leaves sway gently in the wind, as if whispering.

Yun Yueqing and Xiao Yizuo rushed up the stone steps as fast as lightning, their clothes fluttering in the wind, like two streaks of light cutting through the night sky.

At the mountain gate, the disciple guarding the gate looked up in astonishment, only to see two figures passing by and heading straight for the main hall.

In front of the main hall, the lights were bright, and the disciples gathered around with solemn expressions.

Seeing Yun Yueqing and the other two return, they all showed joy on their faces and made way for them.

The two men rushed into the hall without stopping, only to see two old men slumped on the beds, their faces pale and dying.

Yun Yueqing pointed with her delicate jade hand, "Save the leader of the Yuling Sect first, and then save that old man later."

Xiao Yirao slowly took out a green-blood spirit bud from his arms. Its leaves were crystal clear and emitted a faint fluorescence.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, gently pinching his hands together, and the green blood spirit bud seemed to sense his will.

Suddenly, a bright light shone and transformed into two streams of warm spiritual energy, which flowed into the bodies of the leaders of the Yuling Sect and the Jiying Sect respectively.

He first turned to the leader of the Yuling Sect and lightly touched his forehead with his fingertips. The spiritual energy instantly flowed into his body.

As if the warm spring sun melted the ice and snow, the leader's originally pale face gradually regained its color.

His breathing also calmed down, and his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he felt the return of life.

The leader of the Yuling Sect slowly opened his eyes, and those eyes seemed to have experienced a long sleep and finally welcomed the dawn.

His eyes were a little confused at first, but gradually, they focused and he looked at Xiao Yirao and Yun Yueqing in front of him.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by deep gratitude.

He tried to sit up, but found that his body was still weak. Xiao Yirao gently supported him and made him lean more comfortably.

His lips moved: "Thank you, Master Xiao."

Xiao Yirao glanced at Yun Yueqing beside him, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It was as if there was a tacit understanding between the two that did not require words.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Yuling Sect understood what he meant, and his eyes, which had just regained their spirit, were filled with gratitude.

The voice was weak but full of sincerity: "Thank you, Sect Leader Yun. The Yuling Sect will always remember your kindness."

Yun Yue nodded slightly and turned her gaze to the dying leader of the Jiying Sect on the other side.

"Let's save that old fella." Her words were crisp and clear.

Xiao Yirao smiled slightly, and the Green Blood Spirit Bud in his hand flashed again, turning into another warm spiritual energy, gently floating towards the leader of the Jiying Sect.

The spiritual energy wrapped around his wrist like a thin thread and slowly seeped into his body.

The eyes of the leader of the Jiying Sect, which were originally closed, suddenly trembled, and his eyelids slowly opened, revealing a pair of eyes full of surprise and gratitude.

The leader of the Shadowless Sect suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes. He locked onto Yun Yueqing at first sight.

His face was twisted with anger, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, full of hatred and unwillingness.

"Yun Yueqing, how dare you appear before me! What evil ways did you use to hurt me like this, Dark Moon Lake?"

He struggled to sit up, but due to his weakness he could only lie half-lying, his voice hoarse but full of power.

His gaze was like a knife, piercing Yun Yueqing fiercely, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"This monster, why don't you take it down quickly?"

As he spoke, he tried to gather his inner strength, but due to his severe injuries, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red. The scene was desolate and tragic.

Yun Yueqing frowned slightly, her face full of disgust, and she took a step back involuntarily, as if avoiding something unclean.

"Is he crazy? Or suffering from some kind of hysteria? I was standing there in Darkmoon Lake, completely obedient, without moving at all."

The Shadowless Sect leader roared, "You're talking nonsense!"

Yun Yueqing waved away the saliva of the Shadowless Sect leader in the air with disdain.

"It was you who suddenly went berserk and started fighting, but I was the one who brought you back to the Jingyuan Sect. Now, you're selling drugs and confusing right and wrong. My Jingyuan Sect will definitely not be able to keep the Wuying Sect's leader, this great Buddha."

Seeing this, the leader of the Yuling Sect coughed lightly.

His voice was gentle but firm: "Master Yun, Master Wuying may be upset for the time being, but there must be a misunderstanding."

"We all witnessed the incident at Dark Moon Lake that day. Sect Leader Yun did nothing wrong. Now, my Yuling Sect is willing to bear witness and clarify the facts."

"I hope Sect Leader Wuying can rest and recuperate. Once you've recovered, we can discuss this in detail."

The leader of the Wuying Sect widened his eyes and looked at the leader of the Yuling Sect in disbelief.

The corners of his mouth trembled. "You... why are you speaking in favor of that female devil? Our Wuying Sect and your Yuling Sect have always been on good terms, but now you're helping her to frame me?"

His fingers trembled as he pointed at Yun Yueqing, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, as if he had been betrayed by his most trusted friend.

His chest heaved violently, and every breath was accompanied by a violent cough.

The coughed-up blood stained his clothes and his eyes red, which were filled with hatred and despair.
