I don’t know how long I walked, but when Ji Xiuzhu came out of the forbidden area, it was already sunset.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at the sunset in the sky, feeling filled with emotion.

She looked back at the forbidden area behind her, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

"It's out. Thank you." Ji Xiuzhu glanced at Gu Xingyun on his back, then said to the man.

The man was stunned when he heard this, then smiled at Ji Xiuzhu: "No problem, you are my master, no need to thank me."

Ji Xiuzhu did not answer, but carried Gu Xingyun on her back and walked towards the gate of Shenyin Sect with firm steps. Along the way, she remained silent, but her mind was full of thoughts.

When night fell, Ji Xiuzhu put the unconscious Gu Xingyun back to his own yard.

Ji Xiuzhu gently placed Gu Xingyun on the bed, his movements so gentle as if he was a precious porcelain doll.

She stared at Gu Xingyun's face quietly, and there was a hint of heartache for Gu Xingyun in her eyes.

She first passed her soul to Gu Xingyun to ensure his breath, and then took out several bottles of pills and stuffed them into Gu Xingyun's mouth one by one.

Only after finishing this series of tasks did Ji Xiuzhu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brat, although I don't know what happened between you and Hu Yin, judging from the situation, it seems like you have been framed." Ji Xiuzhu said, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Gu Xingyun waking up slowly, and then grabbed Ji Xiuzhu's sleeve tightly.

He said weakly: "Master... Senior Brother..."

After Gu Xingyun finished speaking, Ji Xiuzhu could not help but sigh: "It's not your senior brother. I have been following you. That person has a very high level of cultivation, and I didn't see any clues. But I think the reason why he did this is to make you two enemies."

Ji Xiuzhu patted Gu Xingyun's hand and said softly, "Master knows that you have a deep friendship with Senior Brother, but don't fall into his trap. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. You should take good care of yourself first, and don't worry about anything else."

Gu Xingyun nodded slightly, his eyes full of worry. Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu's heart sank.

She secretly decided that she must find out the truth behind this matter and not let her disciples get hurt.

After Gu Xingyun fell asleep, Ji Xiuzhu came outside the house, called out a paper crane, and sent a message to the elders, informing them of what had happened in the mountains and asking them to be on high alert.

As the night deepened, Ji Xiuzhu stood with his hands behind his back, looking firmly into the distance.

She knew that what awaited her ahead would be a difficult challenge.

But for the sake of the Shenyin Sect and her disciples, she would never back down.

Since this person was able to hide from her eyes and ears, break into the Shenyin Sect without permission, and cause trouble right under her nose, it proves that this person hates her and also hates the Shenyin Sect.

Moreover, compared to destroying the reputation of the Shenyin Sect, that person wanted to torture her more.

Otherwise, she would have just destroyed the sect instead of going to so much trouble to plot against her disciples to kill each other.

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes were cold, and she was determined to find out who was behind this.

Suddenly, she sensed a strange aura, and immediately used the teleportation technique and disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, Ji Xiuzhu appeared in a dense forest.

There was a mysterious man standing in front of him, covered in a black robe and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to harm my disciple?" Ji Xiuzhu shouted sternly.

The mysterious man sneered and slowly took off his hood, revealing a hideous face.

"Ji Xiuzhu, do you still remember me?" the mysterious man said gritting his teeth.

Ji Xiuzhu took a closer look and immediately recognized the person in front of him. It turned out that he was a traitor who had been expelled from the Shenyin Sect, named Qi Wuming.

"Qi Wuming?! Didn't you die? How come you are still alive!" Ji Xiuzhu frowned.

"That's right, you never thought that such a meticulous person like you could help me escape death. I have been enduring until now just for today! I will make you and your Shenyin Sect pay the price!" Qi Wuming roared angrily, with a strong murderous aura emanating from his body.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything more. Instead, his eyes focused, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. Then, a powerful wave of spiritual power attacked Qi Wuming.

Seeing this, Qi Wuming was not in a hurry. His body suddenly became illusory. Ji Xiuzhu's attack actually penetrated his body directly and hit the tree behind him, making a deafening explosion.

"Do you think I am still the Qi Wuming who was at your mercy? Now that I have inherited the Saint Lord's legacy, I have reached the realm of True Immortal. What can you do to me?!" Qi Wuming's voice was full of sarcasm. His figure became clear again, but this time his eyes revealed a strange red light.

Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. She realized that Qi Wuming's strength was far beyond what it was in the past. The aura on him was full of death and corruption. It was obvious that he had practiced some forbidden evil technique.

"What a joke. Do you think you can compete with me just by practicing evil magic? You are so evil and yet you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me." Ji Xiuzhu snorted coldly, and powerful spiritual energy began to gather around her body. She knew that this battle would take some of her energy, but she would never back down.

Seeing this, Qi Wuming couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then, his body suddenly became blurred, as if blending into the surrounding darkness. In Ji Xiuzhu's perception, his breath became erratic and elusive.

"Ji Xiuzhu, you are too confident. You may have been very strong before, but now I am extremely terrifying!" Qi Wuming's voice came from all directions.

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She knew that this was some kind of illusion of Qi Wuming and she had to remain calm and not be fooled.

Suddenly, a black shadow attacked from Ji Xiuzhu's left side. She turned around quickly, and the magic sword in her hand drew a bright sword light, colliding with the black shadow, making a sound of metal clashing.

Ji Xiuzhu felt the force coming from the sword and became more alert. Qi Wuming's strength should not be underestimated.

"I underestimated you. It seems you do have some abilities." Qi Wuming's voice sounded again, and this time his figure appeared right in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

I saw that he was holding a long black sword in his hand, with black mist wrapped around the sword. It was obviously also an evil object.

Ji Xiuzhu did not answer. Her body suddenly burst out with dazzling blue light, and then the spiritual energy seemed to condense into substance, forming a series of light blades that attacked Qi Wuming.

This is her unique skill - San Ya Sword Style.

Every moment a lightsaber is fired, it contains powerful destructive power.

Seeing this, Qi Wuming's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Ji Xiuzhu's strength to be so powerful.

So, subconsciously, he had to quickly swing his sword to resist.

In an instant, the black mist collided with the lightsaber, causing a series of explosions.

However, there were too many lightsabers. Although Qi Wuming blocked most of them, a few lightsabers still penetrated his defense and left scars on his body.

"Ji Xiuzhu, do you really think you won?" There was a hint of madness in Qi Wuming's voice.

In an instant, as soon as he finished speaking, a stronger black aura suddenly burst out from his body, and his aura became more violent and unstable.

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed, realizing that Qi Wuming was going to use all his strength. She took a deep breath, concentrated her energy, and prepared to meet Qi Wuming's final blow.

Suddenly, Qi Wuming shouted loudly, and slashed at Ji Xiuzhu with the long sword in his hand. This sword carried endless power, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.

Ji Xiuzhu dodged sideways and swung her sword to counterattack. But Qi Wuming was so fast that he was behind her in the blink of an eye and slashed at her again.

Ji Xiuzhu narrowly avoided the attack, but her arm was cut by the knife and blood was flowing.

She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and continued to fight fiercely with Qi Wuming.

The two of them were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Until a bell rang, Qi Wuming seemed to have suffered great harm and began to howl in pain.

Ji Xiuzhu took the opportunity to swing her sword at Qi Wuming, but stopped just before she hit him. She noticed something was wrong with Qi Wuming, as if the bell had a great impact on him.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Xiuzhu asked with a frown.

Qi Wuming covered his ears, his expression twisted in pain, and he kept muttering to himself: "It hurts so much... My head hurts so much..."

Ji Xiuzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to put aside her prejudice. She reached out and held Qi Wuming's wrist, trying to check his condition.

However, at this moment, a strange power surged out from Qi Wuming's body and was transmitted to Ji Xiuzhu through his hands.

Ji Xiuzhu was shocked. She felt that this power was blending with her own spiritual power, creating a wonderful resonance.

She stared at Qi Wuming, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

At this time, Qi Wuming's eyes gradually regained clarity. He looked at Ji Xiuzhu with a look of surprise on his face.

"Ji Xiuzhu, you are the man of destiny!"
