Madam Cao was hard to shake off; she was either following Yun Zhao or drooling over Qi Yan, never letting her eyes leave her for a moment.

It was Yunyi who stepped forward. He took Madam Cao away and let Yunzhao take the children and leave first.

Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang also woke up, and each of them took a child and made a quick getaway!

Yunyi took Madam Cao to the town mayor's mansion, knocked her unconscious when she wasn't paying attention, and left her at the entrance of the mansion before leaving.

Cao Xiangxuan has been feeling unlucky lately. She wanted to kill Yun Zhao and the other two, but she failed and they escaped.

She instructed someone to take good care of the poisoned Madam Cao, but Madam Cao's whereabouts were unknown.

She finally made up her mind to drug Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang, forcing them into a fait accompli, but unexpectedly, they disappeared too!

Cao Xiangxuan was so angry that she smashed a room full of porcelain before she could barely suppress her anger.

As for Yun Zhao and his group of five, it's fine that they escaped. They have no evidence to prove that Anning Town imprisoned them, so the forces behind them have no way to seek revenge.

But Madam Cao can't be lost. My uncle will be here soon, and if he finds out that my aunt is missing, he will definitely kill her!

Just as she was about to send someone to look for Madam Cao again, her subordinate came to report: "Miss, we've found Madam Cao!"

Cao Xiangxuan was overjoyed, "Where is Auntie!"

When Cao Xiangxuan saw Madam Cao and found her safe and sound, her anxiety finally subsided.

When Madam Cao woke up, Cao Xiangxuan wanted to ask her where she had gone, but Madam Cao was absent-minded and wouldn't answer any questions. When pressed, Madam Cao became very resistant.

Helpless, Cao Xiangxuan had no choice but to stop asking her.

She sent people to investigate where Madam Cao had been these past few days, but they found nothing.

I should have kept that Lord Hu with me.

On the other side, Yun Zhao and the others had already left the area of ​​Anning Town. Apart from her, the other four were each carrying a child.

As they walked, Gu Dinghan told them what he and Meng Wenchang had experienced these past few days.

As he finished speaking, Gu Dinghan burst into tears, "If I had known, I wouldn't have saved him. Not only was I repaid with ingratitude, but Old Meng almost lost his innocence..."

Meng Wenchang, unable to bear it any longer, punched him, saying, "Cao Xiangxuan clearly has her eye on you!"

“How could that be?” Gu Dinghan said in disbelief, “You are her target.”

The two argued endlessly about this issue, and Yun Zhao raised his hand, "Hmm, is it possible that she wants both?"

Gu Dinghan paused for a moment, then realized that it was indeed possible.

He shuddered. "Old Meng, we're so lucky we were saved, otherwise we'd be ruined, sob sob sob!"

Meng Wenchang ignored him and walked over to Bai Lingxiao, asking her what to do next.

Bai Lingxiao gave a bitter smile. "I can no longer return to the Heavenly Sword Sect. You will all return to your respective sects as well. Perhaps we should part ways here and meet again someday."

Meng Wenchang disagreed, saying, "Hu Guichen has been searching for you. If he finds you, with your cultivation level, you won't be able to escape from him at all."

“Old Meng is right,” Gu Dinghan agreed. “Senior Sister Bai, why don’t you come back to the sect with me? You can conceal your aura and just pretend you’re the junior sister I brought back from outside.”

Before Bai Lingxiao could speak, Meng Wenchang said first, "No, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is very close to the Heavenly Sword Sect. I remember that Uncle Luo and Hu Guichen have a good relationship. If it is accidentally revealed, Senior Sister will have a hard time escaping."

"Why don't we go to the Spirit Talisman Sect? The Spirit Talisman Sect is far from the Myriad Swords Sect, so if anything happens, Senior Sister can leave sooner."

how to say?

Gu Dinghan already knew why Meng Wenchang had disliked him before: it was because Meng Wenchang liked Bai Lingxiao, and he was lively and often stayed by Bai Lingxiao's side, attracting Bai Lingxiao's attention.

Meng Wenchang was introverted and not good with words, unlike Gu Dinghan who was very talkative. So he unconsciously wanted to tease Gu Dinghan and push him away from Bai Lingxiao.

Of course, it was just some minor squabbles. After all, they were good brothers. Meng Wenchang knew that Gu Dinghan was clueless and only regarded Bai Lingxiao as his senior sister.

But he was wrong. Gu Dinghan also had a slight liking for Bai Lingxiao.

At first, Gu Dinghan only attributed that feeling of affection to siblings, but later, he realized it.

So he sidled up to Bai Lingxiao to get her attention and win her favor, whether intentionally or not, it's unclear.

If the two men were unaware of each other's feelings for Bai Lingxiao before, they now understand.

So, they each listed the benefits of going to their respective sects, trying to persuade Bai Lingxiao to return to their sects with them.

“Actually,” Yun Zhao suddenly interjected, “if we’re talking about the sect furthest from the Heavenly Sword Sect, it’s actually my Azure Cloud Sect, so perhaps…”

Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang said in unison, "No way!"

If Hu Guichen discovers Bai Lingxiao's whereabouts, they are certain that they can fight to the death to give Bai Lingxiao a chance to escape.

But if it were someone else, they wouldn't be so sure.

After all, they had only known Yun Zhao for less than a year. How could a short-lived friendship compare to decades of affection?

Yun Zhao shrugged. "Your opinion doesn't count. Senior Sister Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Lingxiao didn't want to go anywhere; wherever she went, she would only cause trouble.

But with three pairs of eyes staring at her at the same time, trying to make her make a decision, she... was caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Qi Yan suddenly said, "I do have a good place to go, but it's a little dangerous."

Bai Lingxiao hurriedly asked, "Where is it?"

As long as it doesn't implicate others, no danger can compare to the danger posed by Hu Guichen.

"The Demon Realm".

Upon hearing these two words, Bai Lingxiao was stunned, and so were everyone else.

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Ayan, the Demon Realm is indeed a good place. No matter how hard Hu Guichen searches, he won't be able to find it. But Senior Sister is not a demon. She will be discovered as soon as she enters the Demon Realm."

"Zhaozhao, don't worry," Qi Yan said confidently. "Since I brought it up, I've already thought of a solution."

"I usually like to study some strange and unusual martial arts techniques. I once read a book in the library of Qingyun Peak."

"It contains a cultivation technique that can convert a cultivator's spiritual power into demonic power."

Gu Dinghan disagreed, "No, if we do that, wouldn't Senior Sister become a heretical cultivator?"

Qi Yan shook his head. "No, it's only temporary. If you use the technique in reverse, it will turn back."

"Of course, this technique also has certain drawbacks. After conversion, the user's cultivation level will drop by three to five realms, and in severe cases, it may even drop by a whole realm."

"I'm just offering advice. Whether you go to the demon realm or not, and whether you use your cultivation techniques or not, is up to you."

Qi Yan simply didn't want Yun Zhao to bring Bai Lingxiao back to Qingyun Sect. Firstly, they were still too young and didn't want to provoke Tianjian Sect. Secondly, Xiao Tong had finally managed to leave, and he didn't want his time alone with Yun Zhao to be ruined.

As for Bai Lingxiao's life or death, what does it have to do with him?

In his eyes, people in the world are divided into two categories: those he cares about and strangers.
