Taiyue and Taiqing gazed at Shi Xiu's body with sorrowful eyes, tears welling in their eyes, but they fought to hold them back. Their throats felt as if they were choked by a boulder, and they remained silent for a long time. The immense weight of grief was like a towering mountain, weighing them down, making it nearly impossible to breathe. The rage within them was like surging magma, roiling wildly within, as if threatening to incinerate all the evil in the world.

After a long time, Taiyue took a deep breath, tried to suppress the trembling in his voice and said, "Sister, let's send the children back to the village first and let them reunite with their families. Then we will go back to Xianju Cave and tell Master about these things and see what she decides." His voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but his fatigue revealed his unswerving determination.

Tai Qing nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Okay, brother. But the journey will definitely not be peaceful, we need to be extremely careful." Her voice was soft but full of power.

The brother and sister decided to bury the stone properly first. They found a beautiful, peaceful spot and, without using any magic, dug the ground little by little with their hands. The children gathered around, using their tender little hands to help pick up the stones.

As Taiyue dug, his hands were rubbed raw from the effort, and blood stained the soil red, but he seemed to feel no pain and continued to dig. Taiqing's tears could not stop falling, dripping into the newly dug grave.

Finally, the grave was dug. They gently placed Shi Xiu's body inside and slowly filled it with soil. Each handful of dirt was a weight of grief, and each filling movement was filled with reluctance and respect.

The children spontaneously picked flowers and placed them in front of the tomb. Taiyue and Taiqing led the children to stand in rows in front of the tomb and bow deeply.

Tai Yue's voice choked with sobs: "Senior Shi Xiu, rest in peace. We will definitely fulfill your last wish and fight for justice."

Tai Qing burst into tears: "Senior, we will always remember your kindness in our hearts."

The children also said: "Grandpa Shi Xiu, we will always remember you."

After the worship, the brother and sister simply packed up their belongings and set off on their journey home with their children. Along the way, the children remained silent. Their tender faces, which should have been filled with innocence and laughter, were now shrouded in a haze of fear. Deep fear and helplessness still lingered in their eyes, clearly not yet fully recovered from the horrific experience.

As they walked, Taiyue and Taiqing gently and patiently soothed the children, whispering words of comfort. Their voices were like the warm spring sun, warming the children's wounded hearts. At the same time, their eyes were constantly alert to any movement around them, not daring to slack off. Even the slightest disturbance would instantly set their nerves on edge.

Finally, they arrived at the village. Seeing the children safely returned, the villagers were overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down their faces like a broken dam. They tightly grasped the brother and sister's hands, their hands trembling with excitement, and expressed their gratitude profusely. Words of gratitude poured out like a tide, filling the entire village with joy and emotion.

Without further delay, the brother and sister bid a hasty farewell to the villagers before re-mounting their flying swords and rushing non-stop towards Xianju Cave. The mountain path was rugged and uneven, and the flying swords under their feet sped like the wind, with branches on either side occasionally scraping against the corners of their clothes, making a rustling sound.

Tai Yue was flying his sword while panting and said, "Sister, I don't know what arrangements Master will make when we go back this time, but no matter what, we must be prepared." His forehead was covered with sweat, which slid down his cheeks.

Taiqing responded, "Well, brother, as long as we work together, we can eradicate the evil of Purgatory." Her eyes were full of hope and courage.

After days of traveling, Xianju Cave finally appeared before their eyes. Gazing at the familiar cave entrance, the brother and sister felt as if they had seen a glimmer of hope. They took a deep breath, calming their excitement and nervousness. They sheathed their flying swords and walked resolutely into the cave, ready to report everything to their master.

Taiyue and Taiqing looked at their master Liu Yitao with great anticipation, and told him in detail all his experiences and discoveries.

Tai Qing said anxiously, "Master, Purgatory is so evil, we must take action!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her cheeks flushed.

However, Master Liu Yitao listened quietly to their story, a pensive expression on her face. As she grew older, Liu Yitao grew more composed. She gently shook her head and said, "Children, the behemoth of the Purgatory Horn Prison is not something we can easily shake right now. Let's put this matter aside for now. What matters most right now is cultivation and improving our own strength." Her tone was calm and firm.

Tai Yue clenched his fists unwillingly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he wanted to condense all his anger into these fists: "Master, are we just going to let them continue to do evil?" His eyes were bloodshot with anger, like burning flames.

Liu Yitao looked at them firmly and said earnestly, "It's not about letting them go, but about waiting for the opportunity. We are currently not strong enough, and rash actions will only put ourselves in a desperate situation. Only if we practice successfully can we have enough power to fight against evil." Her eyes were full of love and expectations for her disciples.

Tai Qing bit her lip. Although she still felt unwilling, she also understood that her master's considerations were thoughtful and reasonable.

"Okay, Master, then we will listen to you and concentrate on practicing first."

Liu Yitao nodded slightly: "This is the wise thing to do. Remember, the path of cultivation cannot be impatient, you need to be down-to-earth."

After hearing the decision of his master Liu Yitao, Taiyue became more angry and argued relentlessly: "Master, how can we retreat? How can we turn a blind eye to justice?" His voice was almost a roar, full of unwillingness and anger.

Liu Yitao's face darkened and she shouted angrily, "Taiyue, how can you disobey your master's decision!" After that, she locked Taiyue in the confinement room.

Taiqing was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything more and could only worry silently.

But how could the hot-blooded Taiyue give up? In his confinement cell, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his sense of justice constantly challenging his rationality. Finally, under cover of night, he quietly cast a spell, evaded the guards, and sneaked out.

He knew very well that his strength was limited and he could not go directly to Renjiaoyu to seek revenge, but he was determined to destroy Renjiaoyu's conspiracy.

The next day, Tai Qing discovered her brother was missing and immediately guessed he'd gone off to cause trouble with Lianjiaoyu. Furious, she packed her bags without hesitation, and set out on her flying sword to chase him.

Along the way, Tai Qing was nervous: "Brother, please don't get into trouble." The flying sword under her feet was getting faster and faster, as if it was going to travel through time and space.

Taiyue, relying on his previous experience, inquired about where there were reports of missing children. He knew that wherever children were missing, there might be traces of the Purgatory Prison.

At this moment, he was full of determination to fight for justice, and had no idea how great the danger he was about to face was.
