This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Within the Ancient Fiend Sect, several people who had sworn oaths gathered. The elder summoned people and confiscated a portion of each person's money as punishment.

Since these people do not belong to their sect, they have no right to deal with them, but fining them is still feasible, after all, one must bear the consequences of making a mistake.

Perhaps in the future, these people will still be able to fight hard for human survival, or even sacrifice themselves.

Therefore, the Ancient Fiend Sect will not punish them severely.

After everyone had left, the Grand Elder spoke up, "It seems there are some bad apples in our sect. Notify the Criminal Law Department to thoroughly investigate the opening of the Ancient Heavenly Yi Formation and who instigated it."

The Fifth Elder stood up and looked at his senior brother with a puzzled expression. "Senior brother, what do you think? It could be someone from within the sect?"

The Grand Elder looked at the entrance to the main hall and asked, "Do you think the Ancient Heavenly Yi Formation is something that just anyone can enter?"

If no one had started it, how could two newcomers have gotten caught up in it? The Grand Elder didn't say this explicitly, lest he alert the enemy.

After speaking, the Grand Elder turned and left without waiting for anyone's reply.

The other elders looked at each other, remained silent, and left one after another.

Inside the Heavenly Yi Formation, Bai Lang roared loudly, causing a ripple around him, and Lian Xue instantly regained consciousness.

When Lianxue regained consciousness, her mind was still a blur, until Bai Lang stuck out his tongue and licked her hand.

It was the cool, refreshing sensation that revived her.

Lianxue saw that it was Bai Lang who licked her, so she squatted down, stroked Bai Lang's head, and asked, "Is your injury healed?"

Bai Lang's voice also entered Lian Xue's mind, "Master, you were trapped in the illusion. It's my fault for not waking up sooner, which is why you were only able to escape the illusion now. Punish me."

After saying that, Bai Lang lowered his head, looking as if he would be at the mercy of others.

Lian Xue was amused. "Pfft! What are you thinking? Being trapped in the formation means my mind is unstable. How can I blame you? You're the one who woke me up. I should be thanking you."

Bai Lang raised his head and looked at the young girl in front of him. His eyes were filled with determination and self-confidence. At this moment, he felt that his choice was right. "But how do you know? It's a matter of mindset."

Lian Xue rubbed her face against Bai Lang's cheek, not paying attention to Bai Lang's reaction, and said, "Actually, I'm not that smart, nor am I as insightful as others think. It's because Leng Yaoye is an array master. He once said that only those with weak minds can be trapped in illusions."

The reason Leng Yaoye brought this up was when she was a child. As soon as Leng Yaoye learned the illusion array, he couldn't wait to test it on himself. As you can imagine, he eventually released her and then mocked her for her poor mental state. She remembered that she was so angry that she cried for a whole day.

When her master found out, he neither comforted her nor punished Leng Yaoye. At that time, she thought Leng Yaoye was a bad guy, but now that she thinks about it, it seems that there were some things involved, which could be considered as hints.

Lianxue was lost in thought about what had happened before, unaware that Bai Lang was stiff and his cheeks were flushed because of the hair.

Fortunately, Kuroba spoke up at that moment, "Ugly woman, let me out."

Lianxue didn't care about the way Heiyu was called and released it.

Before Hei Yu could even stand properly after emerging, she began to berate him, "You ugly girl, you were so easily controlled by the illusion array! I was shouting for you with all my might, and you were enjoying yourself in the illusion! You heartless bastard!"

Lianxue was at a loss for words after being scolded. Heiyu was standing on her shoulder, his mouth almost touching her face. There was nothing she could do but keep backing away.

However, the results were worrying, and Hei Yu had no intention of letting her go. "Look at you, if you can't get out and are trapped inside, will your promise to us be invalid? Ah, you ugly girl."

Lianxue was completely bewildered. She hadn't expected that being trapped would cause the two little ones such distress. One was desperately trying to punish the other, while the other was cursing like crazy. Although their cursing wasn't cute, she knew they were just worried about her. After thinking for a moment, she soothed Heiyu's fur, then squatted down and hugged Bailang's neck to comfort him.

Hei Yu was soothed and finally quieted down, which made Lian Xue smile happily. Bai Lang also responded to Lian Xue, rubbing against her.

But Lianxue felt a dampness on her cheek. When she looked up, she saw that Heiyu's eyes were glistening. Seeing that she had been discovered, Heiyu blinked and stubbornly said, "Sigh! Why is there still wind in this formation? It's getting in my eyes."

After saying that, it rubbed its eyes with its paw. Lianxue felt a pang of heartache. Heiyu was worried about her, which was why it was doing that.

She didn't expose Black Feather; she simply hugged it even tighter.

Hei Yu changed the subject, saying, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and find an exit so we can get out. I just sensed fluctuations from a teleportation array; head in that direction."

After finishing speaking, Hei Yu didn't care where Lian Xue went. Only now did its heart calm down. When Lian Xue was trapped in the illusion array, that person named Zhuge Mu looked kind, but he wasn't a good person.

They took her to a brothel, washed her up, and changed her clothes, but she was then sold, and almost became...

Kuroba felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it. If she really went down that path, even though it was an illusion, it would still leave an indelible shadow on her mind.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late. It cried tears of joy, although it still didn't accept this owner. It was because it was kind-hearted and didn't want to see her get hurt. Yes, that's it.

Following the direction indicated by the black feather, Lian Xue ran off. She didn't know how long she had been inside, or whether the enrollment process had ended. She had to hurry.

Bai Lang returned to the pet space. Its injuries had not fully recovered. Bai Lang offered to carry Lian Xue, but Lian Xue refused, as she did not want Bai Lang's injuries to worsen.

Black Feather remained on Lian Xue's shoulder, clinging tightly to her clothes like a pendant, swaying in the wind.

They encountered wild beasts along the way, but Lianxue escaped easily and headed towards hope.

After tireless efforts by the elders and disciples, the Ancient Fiend Sect finally found the person who activated the formation.

At this moment, a man was kneeling in the main hall of the sect, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

They initially surrounded and intercepted her in the back mountain, but somehow they ended up being surrounded. By the time they realized what was happening, Xiaoru had already disappeared. Wang Xiao was furious. He was clearly implicated by her, but she had escaped without a word.

Wang Xiao grew angrier the more he thought about it, and secretly vowed, "Don't let me catch you, or I'll teach you a lesson!" He kowtowed and begged for mercy without making a sound.

"Elder, I really don't know. It's all because of that Xiaoru. I was bewitched by her. Really, I swear."

Wang Xiao swore without hesitation. Of course he dared to swear, because he was indeed bewitched by her beauty, and there was no doubt about it. It was not unfair to put all the blame on her.

Left with no other option, the elders could only give Wang Xiao a simple punishment and close the case.

As for Xiaoru, she's someone without any cultivation; what trouble could she possibly cause? Let's just let this matter rest.

At this moment, the gate at the back of the sect has quietly disappeared, and no one has been seen. Those who came to observe believe that the people there are dead.

In the dilapidated hut of the imperial city, deserted and uninhabited, a dark figure suddenly appeared.
