The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Mount Meng is not high. When they were climbing the mountain, they wanted to mobilize all their spiritual power to rush forward. But now, looking back and going down the mountain, they felt as if they were in another world.

They just hope that this road can be longer and longer...

Qiu Zhida led this group of people down the mountain. When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yingxue found a group of familiar faces gathered there.

Chu Ying, Yizhi, Master, the Fifth Peak Master Lin Hai, and several of his disciples were gathered at the foot of the mountain.

They seemed to be constantly mobilizing their magical powers to attack towards Mengshan, but those powers seemed to be swallowed up silently by the void before them, as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss, without any echo.

Jiang Yingxue was delighted when she saw them. How did they manage to rush here from Xianyun Sect so quickly?!

But when she thought about it carefully, she became puzzled again.

Something is wrong. Logically, Master and Lin Hai have both reached the fourth level of Lanxu Kung Fu and should be able to resist the poisonous fog of Mount Meng. Why are they still wandering around at the foot of the mountain?

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, cheered herself up, and decided to walk faster.

But just as the two began to speed up, Qiu Zhida suddenly pulled the silver wire and stopped Yan Chuan.

Jiang Yingxue was slightly stunned, then stopped.

"I say, don't run so fast." Qiu Zhida sneered, "This barrier was set up by Lord Luo Wei himself. From the moment you came up the mountain, the entire Mengshan Mountain has been encircled by Lord Luo Wei. Once you're out, you can't get back in. You two were dawdling just now, weren't you just trying to stay a little longer?"

Jiang Yingxue gritted her teeth: "So there's a barrier... No wonder they didn't get in... It turns out they can't get in..."

"Yes, I have no control over whether you, Jiang Yingxue, can leave this barrier or not. But Yan Chuan cannot leave this barrier. So, you have to think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue stopped talking and held Yan Chuan's hand tightly.

At the same time, Chu Ying, who happened to look up, noticed a figure gradually approaching in the distance, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Master, look! Look!"

Wan Jinan looked in the direction she pointed, and his originally tense expression relaxed a little.

On the mountain road in the distance, Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue were walking side by side, and the children who had been trapped in the barrier were following behind them safely.

Although the children's faces showed fear and anxiety, most of them seemed to have regained their composure.

Chu Ying pointed at Mengshan: "It's Yingxue and the others! They're coming down! And those kids too, they rescued them!"

Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then rolled his eyes at Wan Jinan. "Is this the emergency you mentioned? The one that forced me to bring several inner disciples from my peak out to rescue them? Aren't they fine? Do you know that for you, I even used the transfer talisman that I wouldn't even use myself?"

Wan Jinan felt a little relieved when he saw that Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue were safe and sound.

As soon as he received Chu Ying's voice transmission talisman and learned that Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue had met with misfortune on Mount Meng, he felt a sense of trepidation. For some reason, he suddenly felt a surge of fear, fearing that his disciple might actually be in danger.

However, it would take some time to travel from Xianyun Sect to Mengshan even by flying crane.

In order to get to Mengshan as soon as possible, he had to go to Lin Hai to ask for the transfer talisman.

But Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue are both in the Nascent Soul stage. If two Nascent Soul stage people went in, they would encounter danger. So if he, a Nascent Soul stage person, went in, he might just die.

In order to have a little more protection, he shamelessly begged Lin Hai to bring a few more experts to go with him to rescue people.

Fortunately, both of them are fine now.

Wan Jinan patted Lin Hai on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. I'll pay you back later."

"It's not a matter of money or not!"

Lin Hai's tone was a little excited, with a hint of resentment on his face: "Do you know how precious that transfer talisman is? It's not comparable to any other talisman! It can take you anywhere you've been, it can teleport instantly! Fortunately, I have been to this town before, otherwise, how could you have arrived at the foot of Mount Meng so quickly? And do you know that I only have two transfer talismans?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Just as he was about to make a few more jokes, suddenly, his eyes froze.

Something is wrong!

He patted Lin Hai fiercely: "Hey, look at that person behind Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue. Does he look like Qiu Zhida? Am I dazzled?"

"How is that possible? Wasn't he kicked out of Lingxi Sect? What is he doing in Mengshan?"

Lin Hai crossed his arms, raised his eyes, took a closer look, and was stunned: "It's really him! Why is he here?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and Lin Hai immediately said, "Tell me, is this Mengshan incident the work of Qiu Zhida?"

"But why did he capture so many children?" Wan Jinan couldn't understand. "Besides, his inner core has been crushed by the ice dragon. Logically, he doesn't have the ability to set up a formation to capture so many children. Also, he should not be a match for Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue."

Lin Hai frowned: "Just because he can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Maybe there are accomplices."

As he spoke, Lin Hai raised his sword and swung it through the air, sending a stream of sword energy slashing towards Mengshan. The sword energy pierced the sky like thunder, but upon contact with the invisible barrier, it was instantly swallowed up, as if thrown into a bottomless abyss.

"Look, not only did he kidnap so many children, he was also able to cast a barrier around the entire mountain. Even if his inner core hadn't been crushed, he couldn't have done that. Someone must be helping him."

Wan Jinan looked at the two people who were slowly approaching him, and his confusion deepened: "Well, even if someone helped him, why is he willing to let them go now?"

"How should I know?" Lin Hai shrugged. "Just ask him later."

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay," Qiu Zhida's voice rang out in the empty valley, with a hint of provocation and ease: "It's time for me to fulfill my promise."

He looked down at Jiang Yingxue and the group of terrified children in front of him. There was no warmth in his eyes, only indifference and sneer. "You can go now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children seemed to be suddenly freed from heavy shackles, and eager light appeared in their eyes.

When they heard the order to "go", almost all the children lost their minds. Tears still hung on their cheeks, but they no longer had the energy to care about these things.

They ran desperately, their steps were fast and hurried, almost using up all their strength, for fear that they would be caught back into the dark dungeon.

The cries came one after another, breaking the silence in the valley.

Soon, all the children ran out of the barrier.

Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue were only a few steps away from them, but they still stood there and did not leave.

"What are you standing there for? Get out now!" Chu Ying shouted anxiously. If it weren't for the impenetrable barrier between them, she would have rushed in and dragged them out immediately.

Wan Jinan didn't waste time talking to them and pointed the finger at Qiu Zhida: "Those children are missing, are you behind this?"

After hearing this, Qiu Zhida just showed a cold smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes deep and a bit provocative: "So what?"

Wan Jinan's face instantly darkened: "Why did you do this? Those are children——"

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Zhida immediately interrupted him with a sneer, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm: "I am no longer a member of the Lingxi Sect. Don't use the style of a famous and upright sect to threaten me."

When Wan Jinan heard this, he opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart instantly surged in his heart. However, he had nothing to say.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and locked his gaze on Qiu Zhida again: "Okay, I won't talk about those children. Return my two apprentices to me!"

Qiu Zhida slowly raised his eyes, a hint of teasing flashing in them. He looked at Jiang Yingxue calmly, a meaningful smile on his lips: "I can return Jiang Yingxue to you, but she is still lingering here and refusing to leave. As for Yan Chuan..."

Qiu Zhida curled the corners of his lips and glanced at Yan Chuan: "I'm afraid that you righteous people can't tolerate him."

Wan Jinan's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes instantly becoming so cold that they seemed to freeze into ice: "What do you mean by that?"

Qiu Zhida laughed heartily for a few times, his eyes fixed as he brushed aside his hair and asked, "Look carefully, what is this?"

There was a black totem mark the size of a soybean on Qiu Zhida's forehead.

"That is!"

Wan Jinan and Lin Hai's pupils suddenly shrank, and their eyes became solemn in an instant.

The moment they saw the totem mark, their heartbeats suddenly stopped, as if they were suppressed by some huge fear.

As peak masters, they had personally read the prophecy book of Qingxing Palace. And in that prophecy about the coming of the Demon King, this totem was mentioned...

Chu Ying and the others were confused as they listened: "Master, what is that?"

Wan Jinan gritted his teeth and said, "That's the Demon King's totem. This guy must be possessed by a demon!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha" Qiu Zhida laughed even more wildly when he heard this: "Yeah, how about it, Wan Jinan, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Wan Jinan was so angry that his blood boiled. "You became possessed by the devil after being kicked out of the Lingxi Sect. You're absolutely crazy! Where's your Dao heart?!"

"Dao Xin? You're asking about my Dao Xin?" Qiu Zhida gave a bitter laugh, then a glint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "How dare you ask about my Dao Xin? My Dao Xin was already crushed by you on the day of the sect competition!"

As he spoke, Qiu Zhida pulled the silver thread in his hand, and Yan Chuan stumbled and was pulled to his side.

At this moment, Qiu Zhida was extremely proud. He looked at Wan Jinan and said provocatively, "Instead of caring about my Dao heart, you should care about the Dao heart of your good disciple."

Wan Jinan was immediately terrified: "Yan Chuan! Don't tell me that you are going to be possessed by a demon!"

Yan Chuan slowly knelt down in front of Wan Jinan: "Master..."

He endured the pain in his heart, his eyes red as he looked at Wan Jinan: "I am an unfilial disciple, but this is the only way I can save Yingxue and those children."

As he said this, he kowtowed heavily to Wan Jinan several times.

Wan Jinan's legs went limp and he slid to his knees in front of Yan Chuan.

They were very close, but there was always a barrier between them.

"Don't scare me, Master. Come out first, come out first. I don't believe you will be possessed by a demon. I don't believe you will be possessed by a demon!" He looked at Jiang Yingxue and said, "Yingxue, you are always obedient. You said that Yan Chuan will not be possessed by a demon, right?"

Jiang Yingxue gritted her teeth and shook her head...

Seeing this, Wan Jinan instantly understood what was going on.

"Qiu Zhida! You're the one causing trouble again, aren't you!?" Wan Jinan glared at Qiu Zhida angrily. "If you hate me, come after me! Why are you trying to get my apprentice to become a demon?!"

Qiu Zhida shrugged. "Hate you? There's nothing to hate about you. If you mean my inner core was shattered and I was expelled from the Lingxi Sect, then you can rest assured. It's all thanks to you that I caught that person's eye. Now, not only has my inner core been repaired, but my cultivation has also improved."

"If that's the case, you can just become a demon yourself, but why are you dragging my apprentice into this? He's an honest man! He's not some—"

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Zhida interrupted him: "A gentleman? Are you kidding? If he had no distractions, how could he have almost become a demon during the sect competition? And how could he have been favored by that person? Let me tell you the truth, the child from Mengshan is a trap, a trap we tailored for Yan Chuan. He is our best seedling in the magic world, and we put a lot of thought into luring him into the trap."

Qiu Zhida looked at Jiang Yingxue and before she could react, he pushed her out of the barrier. "Alright, our promise has been fulfilled. I'll take Yan Chuan with me. See you in five years."

Jiang Yingxue, who was pushed out of the barrier, wanted to immediately pull out the ice mirror to summon the ice dragon.

But Qiu Zhida had already opened the barrier leading to Luo Wei's palace before him. He and Yan Chuan disappeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingxue collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

He Qingfeng, who was standing not far away, sneered when he heard this: "Oh, I knew he was not a good person."

Chu Ying was so angry that she trembled immediately after hearing this: "You bastard! Say that again!"

She wanted to go up and beat He Qingfeng up, but was stopped by Cen Yizi, who hugged her and said, "Chu Ying, calm down..."

"How can I stay calm! Not only has my senior brother been captured, but this bastard is also adding insult to injury. I'm going to rip his mouth apart!"

Seeing this, He Qingfeng crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "You guys better wake up. Didn't Qiu Zhida just say that? He was chosen because he's a good candidate for demonic possession and that's his nature!"

"Bullshit! He Qingfeng! Senior Brother clearly had to become a demon in order to free those children and save Yingxue! How come you're saying it's Senior Brother's fault?"

A hint of mockery flashed in He Qingfeng's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Chu Ying's anger. He smiled coldly and asked, "Then explain it to me! Why did your senior brother almost become possessed? Why didn't anyone else do it, but your aloof senior brother did?"
