The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

Meng Qishan was silent for a moment. She looked up at the sky, as if recalling something.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Zhu'er, this world is far more complicated than you think. Our fates have long been intertwined. It is precisely because I can see the secrets of heaven that I have kept you in the lower world. You can only live a safe life by staying in Tianyuan Continent."

"Hmph! Hypocrisy." Zhu'er wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Meng Qishan.

A barely perceptible pain flashed across Meng Qishan's eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "Zhu'er, you misunderstood. Everything I did was to protect you."

Ji Xiuzhu sneered, the distrust in his eyes becoming more and more obvious: "Protection? What you call protection is to let me live in your shadow like a puppet? I don't need such protection!"

Meng Qishan took a deep breath. She knew that any more explanations would seem pale and powerless at this moment.

She slowly raised her hand, and a soft light condensed in her palm: "Since you don't believe it, then I will show you how naive your idea is."

Meng Qishan said this, and with a light wave of his hand, the light turned into a beam and rushed straight towards Ji Xiuzhu.

Ji Xiuzhu did not retreat but advanced, and when he swung the Zhuxian Sword, a sword energy broke through the air and collided with the beam of light, making a deafening roar.

The two forces collided in the air, bursting out with dazzling light, and the entire space trembled.

Ji Xiuzhu's figure was looming in the beam of light. Her swordsmanship became more and more fierce. Every sword strike made a sound of breaking through the air, aiming directly at Meng Qishan's vital points.

The light faded, and Ji Xiuzhu stood there with a sword in his hand, looking at Meng Qishan with a firm gaze.

"See? This is my true strength." Ji Xiuzhu said, "I don't need your protection, nor do I need you to arrange my life. I only have one thought now, that is, please put away your arrogance. If you attack my disciples again, I will never forgive you."

Meng Qishan looked at Ji Xiuzhu and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

She knew that Ji Xiuzhu had grown up and had his own ideas and pursuits. But she still couldn't help but say, "Zhu'er, why are you doing this?"

"I'm not miserable." Ji Xiuzhu replied, "This is my choice and my destiny."

After saying that, Ji Xiuzhu turned and left, leaving Meng Qishan standing there alone, watching her back gradually disappear.

"Alas..." Meng Qishan sighed, "Perhaps, this is the price of growing up."

Meng Qishan looked at Ji Xiuzhu's receding back and couldn't help but sigh.

It’s not that she was willing to let Ji Xiuzhu leave, but her hands were still numb from the shock of Ji Xiuzhu’s Zhuxian sword energy.

If you look carefully, you will find that Meng Qishan's hands hidden in his sleeves are shaking wildly.

On this side, Ji Xiuzhu saw that he was out of Meng Qishan's sight, and he could no longer hold back the depression in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Ji Xiuzhu covered her chest, her face pale as paper. She endured the pain, staggered to a big tree, and sat down leaning against the trunk.

"Damn! It turns out that brute force really doesn't work. After all... it's too difficult." She muttered to herself, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

In the battle with Meng Qishan just now, she had actually been seriously injured, but in order to maintain her dignity and beliefs, she had been gritting her teeth and persevering.

After all, she has not yet ascended, and even if she has reached the upper level, she is still restricted by the laws of the world.

If she didn't act as if nothing had happened, how could she scare Meng Qishan? If she couldn't be fooled, that guy would probably massacre Tianyuan again.

Thinking of this, she tried to support herself and move forward.

After all, the true dragon blood in her body was becoming restless at this moment.

So, she had to go find Huyin.

Moreover, we have to do it before the secret realm is closed.

However, at this moment, the fatigue and pain all over her body hit her like a tide, and she felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

Ji Xiuzhu leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to try to calm the turmoil in his body.

Her hand gently stroked the blade of the Zhu Xian Sword. The sword seemed to be able to sense her tiredness and emitted a faint resonance.

"Zhu Xian, ah Zhu Xian, it seems that both of us are a little overwhelmed today." Ji Xiuzhu smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

She knew that she couldn't fall down here, as there were still too many things waiting for her to do.

She needed to find someone to protect her. In the past, she had only treated them as monsters and avoided them, but now, her disciples were like family members and she had to protect them.

As he was thinking, Ji Xiuzhu stood up with difficulty. Every step felt like he was stepping on cotton, light and yet extremely heavy.

Her vision began to blur, but her will remained extremely firm.

She gritted her teeth and moved forward step by step.

"Smelly boy, where are you? You'd better stay alive, otherwise I will kill several of your good fellow apprentices!" Ji Xiuzhu muttered in her heart. Although her voice was weak, it was full of power.

Just when she was about to collapse, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.

The figure ran towards her quickly, his face full of anxiety.

"Master! What happened to you? How did you get so badly injured?!" The person who came was Hu Yin, his eyes full of worry.

When Ji Xiuzhu saw Hu Yin, she felt relieved, knowing that she could finally sleep peacefully.

Then, her body could no longer support her and she fell softly into Hu Yin's arms.

"Fortunately, I... I found you. I'm glad you're not dead." Ji Xiuzhu's voice became weaker and weaker. Her eyes slowly closed and she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, it was half a month later.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Hu Yin sleeping soundly with his eyes closed beside her bed.

So, she just stretched out her hand to touch Hu Yin's head, and Hu Yin woke up at this moment.

At the same time, when their eyes met, Ji Xiuzhu's hand actually froze in place.

"Master, are you awake?"
