Girl, You're Playing With Fire!!

Outside Luoshui Town.

"They've vanished!"

"It looks like Lord Sikong is ready to awaken."

The Heavenly Fiend Hall disciples guarding the perimeter clearly felt the changes in Luoshui Town.

"Speaking of which, this took less time than the Hall Master predicted."

"Does that mean we can move around freely for a few days?"

"Hahaha, you rascal, you want to go picking flowers again?"

"I'm telling you, don't mess around. Let's wait until we see Lord Sikong first."

They chatted amongst themselves.

Completely unaware that a figure was rapidly approaching them.

Li Xuanxiao landed, but he didn't unleash any sharp sword energy. Not even a slight breeze was stirred around him.

Yet, before anyone could react, his sword moved through the crowd at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Each time the blade swept past, it precisely took an enemy's life.

The blood splattered only after Li Xuanxiao sheathed his sword.

Li Xuanxiao quickly retreated, ensuring that none of the Evil Cultivators had any poisons hidden within their bodies that would detonate upon death.

Then, he incinerated everything with a burst of flame.

Li Xuanxiao released his Spiritual Sense, confirming that no one was around, and let out a small sigh of relief.

Has it really been two days?

Li Xuanxiao examined himself internally.

Well, even though he was trapped in the Blessed Land.

The spiritual energy contained within had indeed benefited him greatly.

Even if it was only for a short two days.

As the restriction disappeared, all the rules naturally vanished with it.

Those trapped there did not flee. Instead, they stood numbly in the town, looking at each other.

They seemed to have grown accustomed to life here.

As for those who had already lost their five senses, they remained huddled in corners, completely unaware of anything.

The rules were gone, but their five senses were still sealed.

Zhang Tianxin put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily, "A mere Body Integration Stage cultivator? My brother Li and I are invincible when we team up!!"

Then, she muttered to herself:

"We two are so fated, to meet twice in this vast world, and both times in perilous situations. Could this be destiny? I should just become sworn siblings with Brother Li."

Quickly abandon that dangerous idea!!

Li Xuanxiao, watching from the shadows, thought to himself.

Li Mengyun had already prepared her will. Now, having survived, she felt weak all over, with a sense of unreality.

Is it over??

These past few days had felt like an eternity.

Li Mengyun remembered Li Xuanxiao, who had saved her twice, and looked around.

Where was he? He was nowhere to be seen.

Li Mengyun couldn't help but recall the recent scene.

The figure that appeared when she was about to be violated.

His blood-stained face was so majestic...

Li Mengyun's cheeks flushed slightly.

She felt like she had found the male protagonist from a storybook novel~

Just as she was lost in her daydreams, Zhang Tianxin accidentally discovered a letter Li Xuanxiao had left for her beforehand.

"He's already left!"

"What?" Li Mengyun asked tentatively.

"He said he had a sect mission to attend to, and he was also injured and needed to go back and recuperate."

Li Mengyun looked disappointed, then quietly added, "He's a Shushan disciple, isn't he? Such a great favor, I should go and thank him properly..."

Li Xuanxiao, hidden in the shadows: (O_o)??

Girl, you're playing with fire!!

Zhang Tianxin unfolded the slip of paper, revealing six large characters.

"We shall meet again in the Jianghu, if fate allows."

Li Mengyun's small lips pouted slightly.

In the letter, Li Xuanxiao had also asked Zhang Tianxin to help those in the small town whose five senses had been sealed, if it was convenient for her.

Zhang Tianxin didn't refuse and took these people towards her sect.

As for Li Xuanxiao, after everyone had left, he set up a simple, large-scale magic array around Luoshui Town and began chanting the Rebirth Mantra.

Allowing those who died here to return to dust.

Afterward, he also found many letters among the corpses.

Some were from wanderers who had received letters from home.

They hadn't returned home in ten years, and their families missed them dearly.

But they had inadvertently stumbled into this place on their way home.

Others were carrying betrothal gifts, presumably a beloved was waiting for them somewhere.

There were also letters written by those who knew they had no hope of escaping, written to be carried on their person.

Hoping their younger brother would take good care of their parents, and as for his wife, she should remarry.

Some were written to their unborn children, wishing them all the best...

At the end of the letters were their home addresses and the names of their family members.

If anyone found these letters and happened to pass by their homes, they were implored to deliver the letters to their families, so their families wouldn't worry day and night.

Li Xuanxiao sat on the grass, opening the letters one by one.

Li Xuanxiao carefully collected the letters and quickly fled.

Several months later.

The morning sun shone on the village. A couple, who had woken up early to prepare for farm work, discovered a letter and five taels of silver by their door.

The couple and their youngest son were illiterate, so they took it to their eldest daughter-in-law.

The eldest daughter-in-law had studied a little and after reading for a long while, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Tears and snot streamed down her face. The baby in her arms didn't understand, only patting his mother's cheek with his hand.

Watching this scene from afar, Li Xuanxiao let out a barely audible sigh.

Indeed, Zhang Haoran's mayfly girl lived for a day and died in the evening.

He was willing to trade his life for the mayfly girl who had given him hope.

But behind this, how many families were shattered, and how innocent were the common people?

After delivering the last letter, Li Xuanxiao rushed back to Shushan without delay.

The Path of Ruthlessness was never truly without feeling; rather, it was the Path of All Beings, a selfless, great love.

Since he had embarked on the path of cultivation, why cling to worldly affairs?

Lost, one suffers the cycle of reincarnation; enlightened, the world opens wide.

The fleeting lives of all beings, karma cycles endlessly.

If the world is filled with unsatisfactory things, the more one clings, the greater the suffering.

Zhang Haoran is the best example of this.

"You're saying that in the short time I was gone, the seal was broken? Elder Sikong is dead? And the outer disciples are missing?"

Inside the Asura Hall.

Liu Qiushui slightly raised her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows.

The disciple who came to report the news dared not move.

Liu Qiushui suddenly smiled.

The disciple turned even paler, trembling like a sieve.

Even the Hall Master was amused to the point of laughter.

"I underestimated him. You may go."

Liu Qiushui waved her hand dismissively.

The disciple felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and quickly left.

Liu Qiushui's slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of her chair.

"To be able to form a perfect Golden Core and break the seal of the Body Integration Stage, he is indeed no ordinary person."

"What a pity. If he's not dead, why didn't he come to Asura Hall to find me?"

Liu Qiushui murmured softly to herself.

With a casual wave of her hand, a circular mirror appeared before her.

With a gentle tap, a face materialized in the mirror.

"Your subordinate greets the Hall Master."

"How are you working as a spy in Shushan? Didn't you tell me Murong Mo was already dead? How is he alive and well now?"

"What? Murong Mo is still alive? But he really is dead."

"Idiot!"

Liu Qiushui clenched her fist in the air.

The spy clutched his chest, groaning in pain.
