It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

All those present were core disciples from various factions. They were of similar age and had youthful spirit.

After hearing Tian Yiyi's introduction, they immediately started discussing and surrounded Cheng Shuyan to ask about the beast tide.

Li Zhiyi was sitting opposite Cheng Shuyan, but she kept her head down and said nothing.

Cheng Shuyan was surrounded by the crowd. When he saw Tian Yiyi patting her chest with a relieved expression on her face, he realized that he was being pulled in by Tian Yiyi to block the knife.

She was unable to get away for the moment, so she could only share with everyone the lessons she had learned from the beast tide.

They discussed for a whole day until the servants from the City Lord's Mansion came to invite everyone to have dinner, and then the group finally dispersed.

"Let's go and eat. Today is the Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet. You can't eat here on weekdays!"

Everyone left one after another. Seeing that Cheng Shuyan didn't move, Tian Yiyi walked over to her, grabbed her and was about to leave.

She gently pushed Tian Yiyi away, glanced at Li Zhiyi beside her, and said to Tian Yiyi:

"Senior Sister Tian and the other Daoists, please go first. I haven't seen Daoist Fellow Li Zhiyi for a long time, and I want to catch up with her."

Tian Yiyi's eyes moved between the two of them. Seeing that the atmosphere between them seemed to be wrong, she didn't say much. She just left after saying that she had something to ask her.

Cheng Shuyan deliberately stayed until the end. After Tian Yiyi asked everyone else to leave one by one, she walked towards Li Zhiyi who also stayed.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we are old acquaintances. Why is it that you are unwilling to even speak to me today?"

Li Zhiyi's eyes turned red when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at Cheng Shuyan, her eyes filled with tears. She blinked slightly and tears dripped from her eyes.

The courtyard was terribly quiet; the crisp sound of tears hitting the ground could be clearly heard.

Seeing Li Zhiyi like this, Cheng Shuyan could only sigh helplessly and handed her a handkerchief.

Li Zhiyi took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, then she choked and asked:

"Ayan, you... recognized me, didn't you?"

How could she not recognize him? She had noticed it when Li Zhiyi had sent her a message in the black market, telling her to find a chance to escape through the space crack.

Until today, when she saw Li Zhiyi's performance, she was sure that the person who sent her the message in the black market was Li Zhiyi.

"I would rather not have recognized him, Li Zhiyi, do you know how serious this matter is?

Dozens of locations across the entire Cang Xuan Continent were invaded by demons at the same time, and tens of thousands of cultivators died overnight!

That's the demon clan! Why would a cultivator like you get involved in such a thing?!"

Cheng Shuyan was really angry. Li Zhiyi was the first friend she met after entering the world of immortal cultivation.

In her heart, she had always regarded Li Zhiyi as her good friend, but suddenly, she found out that her good friend had defected to the demon clan. How could she not be angry?

"And Li Zhixing? Both his parents died because of the demons. If he knew that his only sister, whom he cared about, had joined the demons, how would you let him cope?"

Cheng Shuyan was grateful to Li Zhiyi for risking his life to remind her to escape. But if she hadn't reminded her, she would probably have been one of the tens of thousands of wronged souls.

But it was precisely because of this that she couldn't bear to see her good friend putting herself in danger like this.

This incident has caused too much impact in the world of immortal cultivation, and all forces will not let it go.

If they investigate and find out that Li Zhiyi is involved, how can she survive?

After she asked this question, Li Zhiyi finally couldn't help but break down and speak out.

She stood up and hugged Cheng Shuyan who was standing in front of her, buried her head in her shoulder and cried loudly. After a while, her shoulder was wet.

Cheng Shuyan had no choice but to hug her back and wait for her to vent.

Li Zhiyi cried for a long time before finally calming down.

Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot from crying so hard.

"Ah Yan, I didn't want to do this either, but they captured my brother. If I didn't comply, Li Ziqian would kill him. I had no choice but to agree to their request!"

Li Zhiyi's words were full of tears and hatred, and Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he heard them.

Cheng Shuyan remembered her brother, the gentle, polite and modest gentleman who had risked offending the Jindan senior Wuwei Zhenren to protect Li Zhiyi.

This shows how good the relationship between these brother and sister is.

If Li Zhiyi was doing this because of her brother, Cheng Shuyan could understand it.

After all, she asked herself if her brother were still alive, she would be willing to do everything for him.

"What happened to your brother? Why was he captured? And how does this relate to your involvement with the demon clan?"

Hearing her anxious question, Li Zhiyi raised his head and asked, "Ayan, do you still remember what Zhixing's mother didn't finish saying before she died?"

"Remember, something to do with this?"

"Of course it's related! Zhixing's mother was tricked into the demon clan by Li Zigan! His father was also killed by Li Zigan because he discovered the secret of Li Zigan's collusion with the demon clan!

A few days ago, my brother accidentally discovered this secret. He didn't want to stay in the rotten Li family anymore, so he told me and my parents about it.

Our family had originally planned to leave the Li family overnight, but we didn't know that my brother had already been discovered by the treacherous Li Zigan!

He waited until our family left the Li family's territory, and when we thought we had escaped from the clutches of the enemy, he killed my parents and also captured my brother!

He was willing to be a lackey of the demon clan, so he wanted to drag us into it! When we refused, he imprisoned my brother and forced me to submit.

Ah Yan, I have no other choice. I have watched my parents die tragically in front of me, and I cannot let anything happen to my brother again."

Li Zhiyi's face was covered with tears, and the helplessness in her tone made Cheng Shuyan tremble violently.

"Li! Zi! Qian!"

Cheng Shuyan spat out the name with gritted teeth.

How similar is Li Zhiyi today to her then? It's just that Li Zhiyi still had a chance to save his brother, but she never had one.

"Zhiyi, don't panic for now. After the beast tide passes, I will work with you to find a way to rescue your brother."

Now that the beast tide has arrived, and Li Zhiyi has been sent here to provide support, neither of them will be able to leave before the beast tide ends.

Li Zhiyi's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily:

"Well! Ah Yan, thank you for trusting me. Don't worry, after rescuing my brother, I will announce all this to the world of immortal cultivation and apologize!"

"Zhiyi, the demons have caused quite a stir this time, and I'm afraid they have big plans. Do you know what their purpose is?"

"I don't know." Li Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Li Ziqian is just a lackey planted by the demons in the world of immortal cultivation. He is not a core member of the demons. The demons do not trust us.

Regarding what happened that day, I only knew what they were planning to do when the time came, and I have no idea what happened elsewhere in the Cang Xuan Continent."
