The way out is right in front of you.

But Li Tingyun hesitated visibly.

Although it is not clear what is going on, the thing behind it has put so much effort into it, could it be that it is just to separate itself and Gu Xia.

Or is it just fun to play a trick on them?

No matter how you think about it, it seems unrealistic.

He carefully checked all the surroundings, but did not find any ambush or any things or restrictions targeting them.

The boy was confused.

What to do now?

And what about Gu Xia?

Where is that guy now?

Questions popped up one after another.

Li Tingyun covered his forehead with his hands, his mind was in a mess.

His head hurts and he needs some quiet time.

There was no one around except Li Tingyun. It was eerily quiet. Before he could figure out what to do next, the door not far away was suddenly opened from the outside.

A bright halo of light suddenly fell in, and Li Tingyun subconsciously stepped back to create some distance. He squinted his eyes and looked forward.

“… Elder?”

No matter how calm Li Tingyun was, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide at this moment, revealing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"How will you be here?"

It was no wonder that he was so shocked, because the person coming in from outside was the grand elder of Xuanming Sect.

If it had been before, it would have been fine. He wouldn't have felt so guilty even if he met the elder, but when he thought about what he and Gu Xia had done before, Li Tingyun's heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

There's nothing he can do, he feels guilty.

What’s the difference between this and being suddenly called home after getting into trouble outside?

Unfortunately, Gu Xia, the one who came up with the idea, was not here, leaving him alone to deal with it.

I didn't even dare to run and could only say hello dryly.

The Great Elder saw him and said with a fake smile, "Guess why I'm here?"

Li Tingyun: "..."

Quiet as a chickenjpg.

Dare not make a sound.

Just when he thought he was about to be scolded and had subconsciously closed his eyes, the Great Elder suddenly changed the subject.

"Okay, now is not the time to worry about these things. I came in to talk to you about something important."

"Oh, oh." Li Tingyun asked reflexively, "What is it?"

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Elder's expression became serious. "Something happened in the sect. Now everything is in chaos. We need you to go out and help."

"What's the matter?" Li Tingyun asked upon seeing this.

"Some demons have sneaked in and killed several disciples."

what? !

Li Tingyun just felt incredible, "There is a formation outside the mountain gate, how did the demons get in?"

They also saw it before they came in. There were more than a dozen layers of defensive formations. There was no reason why the demons would be able to find loopholes.

The Great Elder obviously didn't intend to say more, and asked him to follow him with an anxious look on his face.

When Li Tingyun heard the news suddenly, his mind was a little confused. Without thinking much, he subconsciously followed and walked a few steps toward the door.

Suddenly he stopped.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he didn't catch up, the Great Elder asked, with an obvious urging tone in his voice.

Li Tingyun hesitated, "Are we going out like this?"

And what about Gu Xia?

He hasn't found her yet.

"How else do you want to get out?" The Great Elder said, "Time is running out. We have to resolve the unrest in the sect as soon as possible."

Also.

When this matter was mentioned, Li Tingyun's heart was also brought up.

Right now, things in the sect are more troublesome. Perhaps it’s because Gu Xia is from Taiyi Sect, so the elders don’t plan to let her interfere?

It is not impossible.

There was no time to think too much. Under the hurried and slightly nervous figure of the Great Elder, Li Tingyun no longer cared about whether to take care of Gu Xia or not.

He raised his legs and followed.

*

Gu Xia sneezed while being talked about by Li Tingyun.

"What's going on? Who is scolding me?"

She touched her nose, wondering if that thing was scolding her behind her back again.

Holding the banned book in her arms, Gu Xia thought that since she had been thrown out, she should quickly find Li Tingyun and get out.

After all, there are still a lot of troubles waiting for her at Taiyi Sect.

As soon as she thought of Taiyi Sect, Gu Xia heard someone calling her name.

She originally thought it was Li Tingyun, but after taking a few hurried steps, she found two figures walking towards her from a distance.

Judging from his clothes, it was the elder of Xuanming Sect who came to see him.

Gu Xia paused, and quietly hid the banned book more secretly.

I had never intended to keep this secret forever. Sooner or later, the elders would find out about this.

But it doesn't matter, she will return the things as long as the problem is solved.

So just know it if you know it.

Anyway, she had already come in, and the elders would just scold her a few words and then let it go.

Thinking of this, Gu Xia felt relieved and even had the mood to greet them with a smile.

"Elder, why are you here?"

When she got closer, she saw that they were indeed the two elders of Xuanming Sect. She had a vague impression of them, as if she had seen them from afar several times when she came here before.

"Of course we're here to see you."

The elder's tone was not very good and he looked at her coldly.

find her?

Gu Xia suddenly remembered something and subconsciously took a step back.

I almost forgot that it was she who dragged the other person's chief into this conspiracy.

And more importantly -

Damn, Li Tingyun hasn’t been found yet! !

well.

Gu Xia thought calmly.

The owner of the lost item has come to visit.

Gu Xia was already prepared for the coming storm, but was caught off guard by the elder's words.

The Taiyi Sect's protective formation was broken?

"This is impossible." She said subconsciously, "That can withstand a demon king in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. How could it be broken so easily?"

They were not too clear about the specific situation, but at this point in time they had to inform Gu Xia of the news, so they came in specifically to look for someone.

There was no time to care about so many things at the moment. Since the things were already in his hands, Gu Xia immediately decided to go back and check the situation.

The two elders from Xuanming Sect also went with her to see if they could be of help.

The three of them left in a hurry and headed towards Taiyi Sect.

Gu Xia drove at full speed all the way, and the cool breeze blowing across her hair gradually calmed her down.

When they arrived at the place, Gu Xia put the banned book in his arms, jumped off the sword in a hurry, dived in the air, and landed lightly on the ground.

The tense confrontation between the two sides before leaving has disappeared.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Gu Xia walked through the foot of the mountain step by step, and walked forward silently on the stone steps.

As she continued to walk upwards, she saw more and more corpses on both sides, whether they were monsters, demons, or monks, the corpses were everywhere.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, making people feel nauseous.
