All the major sects suffered more or less losses in this "hunt", which was unexpected by everyone.

Who could have imagined that casualties could occur at a "social gathering"? This shocked and angered everyone.

Therefore, after the disciples from the major sects came out, they couldn't wait to return to their sects as soon as possible.

Among them are Jiang Lingzhou and his fellow apprentices.

The young master was injured, and everyone was worried about how the sect leader would punish them when they returned.

In comparison, Gu Yi seemed much calmer.

Because he didn't get his life lamp, he was not in a hurry to return.

Moreover, he speculated that He Yan must have follow-up measures and would not let them go easily.

So, after discussing with Xie Wenyun, he decided to wait and see how the situation developed.

Lin Yuan and the other two did not show up. However, he knew that the Qingling Sword Sect was well-known, and he believed that He Yan would be polite to them in public and would not dare to act rashly.

As for what their plans were, Gu Yi had no idea.

Just when the disciples were about to leave, He Yan appeared.

He was wearing a luxurious robe that danced in the wind, his expression was stern, and behind him was a towering mountain that was faintly visible in the clouds.

"The Good and Evil Friendship Meeting has not yet ended, you cannot leave."

He Yan's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in the valley and startling a flock of flying birds.

"We, the disciples of our sect, have suffered heavy casualties, why are you still not letting us leave?" An impatient disciple couldn't help but ask loudly, his brows furrowed and his face full of dissatisfaction.

He Yan's eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Aren't the casualties among my demon sect disciples heavy?"

"But you didn't tell me in advance that there would be casualties in this friendship meeting between good and evil." Another disciple also stood up, his face full of resentment.

The other disciples who wanted to leave also looked at each other, feeling dissatisfied.

Some were thinking: "This He Yan is really overbearing. When can we go back?"

Some secretly regretted: "I should have known I wouldn't have come to this Illusionary Demon Sect. I almost lost my life."

Others were worried about the situation of their own sect and were extremely anxious.

A more composed disciple stepped forward and said, "Chief He, what is your intention in insisting on keeping us here?"

He Yan remained unmoved. He just waved his hand slightly, and powerful spiritual power instantly enveloped everyone:

"I suspect that the deaths and injuries were not caused by monsters, but rather someone has infiltrated your ranks to deliberately sow discord between our righteous and evil factions. Therefore, until this is fully investigated, none of you are allowed to leave!"

Gu Yi's eyes turned cold as he looked at He Yan's hypocritical appearance through the crowd of disciples.

After all these years, he is still so good at confusing right and wrong.

It was clearly he who sent people to attack the disciples in the secret realm, but he said that it was someone from the major sects who deliberately instigated them.

"You have no choice but to stay." He Yan glanced at his disciples and his words left no room for rebuttal.

Although these disciples were unwilling, they had no way to refute and could only be forced to stay helplessly.

Fortunately, He Yan didn't dare to do anything to these disciples openly, and could only do bad things in secret, so everyone continued to live in the Phantom Demon Sect in peace.

However, the major sects already had grudges against each other, and after hearing He Yan's words, some of them actually believed it to be true and thought that someone had infiltrated their sect.

Gu Yi knew that the more times like this happened, the more he couldn't lose his composure.

He must get his life lamp as soon as possible without any delay.

While Xie Wenyun was asleep, Gu Yi came out alone again.

The place where his life lamp is hidden is Jing Yuan’s current residence. Although it is not heavily guarded, it is protected by a formation.

Once triggered, it is likely to be discovered.

Just when Gu Yi was trying to find a way to break the formation and sneak in, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Miss Ye? What are you doing?"

The sound coming from the darkness made Gu Yi's heart jump suddenly. Could it be that he was discovered?

Just as he was about to strike, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and tightly grasped his wrist. The hand was warm and strong, easily removing his strength.

"Miss Ye, are you going to do it without even taking a look?"

With these words, Gu Yi was pulled back a step, and his body involuntarily leaned into a warm embrace.

Only then did he realize that this man was Lin Yuan.

"Why are you here? Let me go!" Gu Yi struggled angrily and shouted, "Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He thought to himself, it seems that Gu Yi also came to find his life lamp.

Before this, they had searched everywhere but had never found it. Presumably, only Gu Yi himself knew the whereabouts of the life lamp.

These past few days, Lin Yuan has been secretly observing Gu Yi, waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, when Gu Yi couldn't help but go out alone to look for the life lamp, he found an opportunity.

"I didn't know before, but now I know." Lin Yuan leaned close to Gu Yi's ear and whispered.

Gu Yi felt his ears itchy, and he shrank his neck: "Now that you know, why don't you let go?"

"What are you doing at Jingyuan's place? Are you looking for another man to throw himself into your arms?"

Lin Yuan not only did not let go of Gu Yi, but instead pulled him to a deserted place and said in a playful tone:

"Ah... I remember now. I heard that Jing Yuan and the Demon Lord were a couple. Miss Ye looks a lot like the Demon Lord. Maybe she can charm Jing Yuan..."

"You're talking nonsense! Who is he a couple with?"

Gu Yi was so angry that he raised his foot and stomped hard on the instep of Lin Yuan's foot, and at the same time, he pushed his elbow back hard on Lin Yuan's lower abdomen.

"hiss……"

Lin Yuan let go of Gu Yi in pain, holding his stomach with both hands. His brows knitted together in pain, and he groaned in agony: "Ugh... It hurts..."

Gu Yi heard the sound behind him and quickly turned around to see Lin Yuan sweating profusely in pain, his face as pale as paper.

Gu Yi couldn't help but feel a little guilty and worried: "Are you okay... Did I accidentally touch the wound on your body?"

Only then did he remember that Lin Yuan was still injured. He was so angry just now that he forgot that he was still injured.

"It hurts……"

Lin Yuan covered his stomach, bent over, his body trembling slightly, and his voice was shaking a little.

The next moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Yi's wrist, with a sly look in his eyes: "Why don't you rub it for me, Miss Ye?"

Gu Yi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he immediately noticed the fleeting smile in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"You!" Gu Yi angrily tried to break free from Lin Yuan's hand and shouted, "Liar!"

Lin Yuan straightened up and held Gu Yi in his arms again: "Compared to you, I am nothing... Miss Ye, instead of looking for Jing Yuan, why not come to me? Like him, I like the Demon Lord and your face."

"What do you mean by that!" Gu Yi's body stiffened, and then he glared at Lin Yuan!

Damn, you want me to be your substitute?

You scumbag! Don't push your face!
