Under the cover of night, the creaking sound of wheels rolling seemed a little hurried. Four carriages were lined up in a column and moving quickly on the rugged mountain road.

Two bright yellow lanterns hung on both sides of the carriage, illuminating the darkness ahead.

"Master, the second young lady has given birth to a daughter."

Accompanied by a baby's cry, the convoy that was rushing on the road stopped one after another, but no one had joy on their face, whether inside or outside the carriage.

Instead, he looked around suspiciously, as if there were something extremely terrifying hidden in the dark forests on both sides of the road.

Pfft!

The next moment, the man driving the car in front dropped his whip and fell down. He opened his mouth wide and pointed forward with a trembling hand, "Evil spirits... They are evil spirits that are taking my life. They are catching up with us!"

"Is God going to destroy my Du family?"

The master of the Du family was holding a newborn baby girl, his face full of despair. He didn't need the driver to remind him, because with the dim light of two lanterns, he had already seen four black shadows that appeared in front of him at some point.

The evil ghosts that came to demand lives were none other than the four evil ghosts from the underworld that had previously blocked the entrance to the Du family’s house.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

A cold and chilly wind howled, and the dead leaves scattered on the ground were blown up, swirling around the four carriages. In the meantime, one could faintly hear shrill roars, as if an evil spirit was whispering in one's ears.

Just when the people of the Du family were terrified to the point of collapse, a faint blue light shot over from a distance.

She landed on the ground and transformed into a pretty woman in a black and red uniform. She raised her hand and waved it lightly, and the strong wind swirling around the convoy stopped, and all the dead branches and rotten leaves fell down.

"You guys leave quickly."

Zhao Zixuan's eyes shone with intelligence as she stared intently at a dark figure standing in the woods not far away.

"Thank you, Master Immortal, for saving us. My Du family is eternally grateful!"

The master of the Du family was overjoyed. He knelt down and kowtowed while holding the baby, and then told the convoy to leave quickly.

At this moment, time is life, and saying one more word would be irresponsible to the entire Du family, so the master of the Du family did not even have time to ask the name of the immortal master who was helping.

Crunch....

The wheels rolled over dead branches and rotten leaves and quickly disappeared into the winding mountain forest path.

"have a finger in the pie!"

"Are you looking for death?!"

The female cultivator in a red dress shrouded in black fog flew out. She turned her head to look at the Du family convoy leaving, and then questioned Zhao Zixuan who was blocking her in a low voice.

Before he could finish his words, a crescent-shaped magic weapon he controlled slashed forward.

Whoosh!

The crescent blade flashed with cold light in the night, but it stopped abruptly in front of Zhao Zixuan's face, hovering in the air and never moving forward again, as if the ferocity and brutality just now was a disguise.

"Xuefei!"

"Why would you do this? Don't you hate bullying the weak the most, especially when it comes to attacking mortals?"

Zhao Zixuan stood there motionless, not even casting her protective shield, and not even looking at the whistling crescent blade. This was because she knew who the figure in the red dress shrouded in the black fog was.

"How did you recognize me?"

Qian Xuefei raised her hand and retracted the low-grade magical weapon Crescent Blade that was floating in front of Zhao Zixuan's face. As she spoke, the black mist that enveloped her body dissipated, and even the veil on her face was taken off.

The stunning face revealed itself, making the bright moonlight in the sky pale in comparison at that moment.

Qian Xuefei asked the question that was in her mind, because even Du Ming, who was at the seventh level of the Soul Yun Realm, could not see through her disguise, so how did Zhao Zixuan, who was at the fifth level of the Soul Yun Realm, know about it.

"Xu Yang told me that his spirit pet has a talent for identifying people." Zhao Zixuan looked at Qian Xuefei's haggard and pale face, her heart trembling, and she walked over quickly.

"Don't come over here, or I might do something I wouldn't even want to do."

Qian Xuefei raised her head and sternly stopped him, "The Du family and I have an irreconcilable feud. If you continue to stop me, then our sisterhood will be severed!"

"Xuefei!"

Zhao Zixuan's eyes flushed red. "You're so kind, doing this will only increase your pain. Please stop being so stubborn, okay?"

"Enough people have died today. Come back to the sect with me. Let's go on the immortal journey hand in hand. There will be so many beautiful scenery and good times ahead!"

Having said this, Zhao Zixuan stopped and took another step forward.

However, in the blink of an eye, the crescent blade that had just disappeared reappeared in front of Zhao Zixuan's snow-white neck. The faint blade released an icy aura, forcing Zhao Zixuan to stop.

Qian Xuefei controlled the Crescent Blade with an indifferent expression, "How much can you possibly understand about me? Kindness, justice, and sisterly love are just me acting according to circumstances. I am such a selfish and vicious woman."

"What's more, if you can't even understand your thoughts, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"

"Don't follow me again, or I will really kill you!"

Qian Xuefei turned and left, but stopped after only two steps because Xu Yang was not far behind him.

"Cough cough."

Xu Yang, who was standing with his arms folded and leaning against a tree trunk, felt Qian Xuefei's gaze and couldn't help but purse his lips and cough lightly twice to make some noise and break the silence.

Qian Xuefei was silent for a long time, then bit her lips twice, as if trying to suppress some emotion, and then said coldly: "Xu Yang, are you going to stop me from taking revenge too?"

"Uh...don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant at all."

Xu Yang quickly waved his hands, glancing at Zhao Zixuan, who was tearful and sad not far away, and whispered, "Don't act too much, or you might really lose her. I'll help you persuade her first, and you can do what you want."

"Hmm? Hmm!"

Qian Xuefei was stunned at first, then nodded in an inaudible voice, and her heavy heart was inexplicably relieved.

Qian Xuefei turned over and stepped on the Moon Shadow Sword. She lowered her head and gave Zhao Zixuan a complicated look. Then her eyes became firm again and she mobilized her magic power to control the Moon Shadow Sword to fly away quickly.

With the speed of a mortal riding in a carriage, even if Qian Xuefei delayed for a while, the other party would not be able to escape from her grasp.

The dim mountain forest path fell silent, with only Xu Yang and Zhao Zixuan left.

"Xu Yang, I suddenly feel you are so strange and scary."

The tears on Zhao Zixuan's face were wiped away at some point, and she looked straight at Xu Yang's face, with confusion, disappointment, sadness, and deep grievance in her eyes.

"Killing mortals wantonly is no different from being a demon."

"Not only did you not stop Qian Xuefei, but you also helped her stop me."

"We have different ideals and cannot work together. There is no need for us to interact with each other in the future... I will repay you for saving my life in other ways!"

Zhao Zixuan missed Xu Yang and walked towards the direction where Qian Xuefei left in the distance. She didn't know what she had done wrong, but her heart was very painful.

"Don't..." Xu Yang felt a little overwhelmed and called out to Zhao Zixuan.

"What? Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Zixuan stopped and asked with her back turned.

"Don't go over there. Qian Xuefei has a ninth-level Netherworld Ghost General in the Soul Condensation Realm. You can't defeat her even if you go over there." Xu Yang thought Zhao Zixuan still wanted to stop Qian Xuefei, so he explained helplessly.

"Ah!"

Zhao Zixuan sneered with trembling lips, then strode away. She hated herself, hated herself for having expectations just now.
