Lingxi Mountain, in a palace——

"Madam." A maid walked into the hall from outside in a hurry.

Inside the palace, a young woman was dressing up. She was wearing a gorgeous red dress that made her look stunningly beautiful. She combed her long black hair that fell on her shoulders and asked lazily, "How's it going?"

The maid stepped forward, came behind her, and reported in a voice transmission: "Madam, the fifth lady and her lover have already met outside the bamboo forest, but the man was very alert, and our people did not eavesdrop on their conversation..."

"Is there any intimate scene recorded by the shadow charm?"

Upon hearing this, the maid took out a high-level shadow talisman from her storage ring and handed it to the woman. However, she paused and advised, "Madam, if we directly announce this shadow talisman to the public, it may not be appropriate. Now that all the forces have gathered in Lingxi Mountain, if the affair between the Fifth Madam and her lover is exposed at this time, it will not only embarrass the Fifth Madam, but the head of the family may even vent his anger on you..."

"Of course I know." The lady held the shadow talisman in front of her, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, "Exposing the adulterous couple in front of everyone in the world will embarrass my husband, but he will not be able to protect that bitch under the watchful eyes of the public, hum! However, I am not that stupid. We cannot expose this matter proactively, we must use the hands of others..."

The two were discussing their next plan when a young man ran in with eyes full of excitement, shouting, "Mother, Mother!"

The eldest lady's gloomy expression changed and immediately became kind. She turned around and touched the head of the young man in front of her, smiling gently: "Why are you so happy, Yu'er?"

"Mother, the people from the Extreme Sword Sect are here. I just met Venerable Qin Gu at my father's place. Didn't my father promise my tenth sister and me that he would introduce us to Venerable Qin Gu this time? Venerable Qin Gu is the most powerful swordsman in the entire continent. If I can become his apprentice, my swordsmanship will definitely improve faster..."

"Silly child, since your father is entertaining the Venerable Qin Gu, why don't you stay with him?"

"Father only kept my tenth sister by his side. The rest of my brothers and sisters all withdrew like me..."

The young man scratched his head with an innocent look in his eyes, and then he smiled innocently, "But my father said that on the day of the birthday banquet, he will recommend me to the Venerable Qin Gu, and he asked me to perform well then!"

The eldest lady almost couldn't hold back her smile when she heard the first half of the sentence: "Then Yu'er, take advantage of these few days to practice hard. Since you want to be a sword cultivator, it would be great if you could become a disciple of Qin Gu Zun. In terms of absolute strength, your father is indeed inferior to Qin Gu Zun. You should be more powerful than your father in the future!"

"Yeah!" The young man puffed out his chest and followed the servants behind him confidently.

The eldest lady slammed the dressing table hard with a "bang" and gritted her teeth and said, "Wait until that bitch's affairs are exposed, and see if Chen Lingxi will spoil her daughter again!"

At the same time, in another palace——

"Madam, are we really going to run away?" Fifth Madam Shi Meixue's personal maid said in panic, "Madam, please think about Miss. How will Miss Ruyue cope after you and Master Ji run away? The master of the family usually dotes on Miss because of you..."

To be honest, Chen Lingxi was really good to her. He gave her resources when she asked for them. Seeing how favored she was, the people in Lingxi Mountain did not dare to neglect her. She was allowed to choose any magical instruments and treasures. Her status in Lingxi Mountain was second only to the eldest lady. After she gave birth to Chen Lingxi's daughter, Chen Ruyue, Chen Ruyue became the most favored of his children.

but--

"... Cui'er, you have been with me since you were a child. You know that my cousin Ji Feng and I are in love with each other. If it weren't for him and my father, Ji Feng and I would have been together a long time ago..."

Shi Meixue was also struggling in her heart. The one thing that made her reluctant to leave Lingxi Mountain the most was her daughter Chen Ruyue. But in the end, her beloved had the upper hand. "Ji Feng has waited for me for a whole hundred years. He finally seized this opportunity to sneak into Lingxi Mountain to take me away. I can't let him down. If I can't leave this time, I will have to wait another hundred years..."

……

In the bamboo forest——

Pei Yun followed the woman through the bamboo forest and headed deeper into it. The two of them walked around in circles for a long time but still couldn't get out of the bamboo forest.

Pei Yun became alert and looked around, trying to find out whether this woman had deliberately led her into the formation in order to trap her.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the sound of a bamboo flute came from somewhere. Pei Yun was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the bamboo monster woman in front of him, but the bamboo monster was not affected at all, as if she was still leading the way.

Pei Yun was not affected at first. Her soul was strong. Although the sound of the flute had some kind of sound attack that was intended to disturb people's minds, she did not even use the Void Pavilion. She just calmly followed the person in front of her...

The flute player may have noticed Pei Yun's ease, and the originally melodious flute sound suddenly became urgent and more aggressive. The bamboo leaves that were floating in the wind seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. They froze in mid-air for a moment, and suddenly attacked in the direction of Pei Yun...

Pei Yun's spiritual power was restrained, and he could not escape. He could only move forward to catch the woman in front of him. Then he found that the bamboo monster was just an illusion. The real bamboo monster had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, she was surrounded by bamboo forests, and the original path was gone. However, the sound of the flute continued, and spiritual attacks came at her from all directions...

Pei Yun thought about it, took off the witch bell hanging on his waist, held it in his hand, and used his spiritual sense to control the witch bell to shake it...

The witch bell is a token of the witch priest. The power of this treasure is naturally extraordinary. When she shook it, the crisp sound of the bell instantly blocked the sonic attack of the flute.

The owner of the flute sound did not seem to expect that Pei Yun had such a treasure. The sound of the bamboo flute disappeared for a moment and then continued to sound. Pei Yun closed her eyes, put one hand behind her, and held the witch bell in the other hand, shaking it continuously. Her spiritual consciousness was not blocked, so she just needed to control the witch bell to operate her spiritual consciousness.

As the sounds of the witch bell and the flute confronted each other invisibly, the bamboos around them fell to the ground. The sound of the flute finally stopped, and the illusions around them disappeared. Pei Yun was still standing on the path. The bamboo demon woman in front of her did not disappear either. She just looked at her strangely, with a more cautious look: "Except for the clan leader, no other clan demon can resist the sound of the great elder's bamboo flute. You do have some strength..."

"Excuse me, young lady, what did you mean just now?" Pei Yun asked solemnly.

"Humph! You can't just enter our clan's territory whenever you want, and you can't just meet the clan leader and elders whenever you want. This is just a test for you..." The bamboo demon girl didn't care, "Let's go!"

Pei Yun's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything else and followed the woman closely...

After an unknown amount of time, the bamboo demon woman brought her to the lake deep in the bamboo forest. There was a stone staircase by the lake, and six people were sitting on the stone staircase. They were all human forms transformed by the bamboo demon...

"Chief, elders, the people have been brought here."

"You go down."

"Yes."

Pei Yun quickly scanned the six monsters with her spiritual sense. Among them, one monster had the same cultivation level as her, one monster was lower than hers, and she couldn't tell the cultivation levels of the other four monsters. She saluted the six monsters and said, "Junior Pei Yun greets the senior bamboo monsters."

"How did you get in here?" asked the bamboo demon chief sitting in the middle.

"I don't know much about this either..." Pei Yun explained his situation in detail without hiding anything. "...I just broke into this place unintentionally. I have no intention of offending you seniors. Could you please tell me how to leave? I will leave immediately..."

"Hmph! You're dreaming! Chen Lingxi took a fancy to the abundant spiritual energy in this area of ​​mountains, so he drove away the nearby monsters and suppressed those that could not be driven away. This was originally the clan land of our bamboo monsters, but Chen Lingxi not only occupied it tyrannically, but also suppressed us here. We are irreconcilable with the human race, and you, a human, want to escape after falling into our hands!" said a bamboo monster elder angrily.

"Chief, I think we should just kill her! If she escapes and reveals the method to enter the clan territory, we won't even be able to protect this piece of pure land..." another elder suggested.

"Little girl, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being unlucky. If you want to blame someone, blame Chen Lingxi!"

The bamboo demon chief stared straight at Pei Yun, listening to the advice of the elders around him. His eyes gradually became colder and murderous intent was revealed.

Pei Yun was stunned for a moment after hearing their words. She took out her token from the space slowly and showed it in front of the monsters.

The bamboo monsters who were originally discussing how to deal with Pei Yun immediately fell silent after seeing the token in front of them clearly.

After a while, the six demons looked at Pei Yun and the token in her hand in disbelief. The bamboo demon leader widened his eyes and said in shock: "The token of the Demon Temple?! You, you..."
