The old man in black robe nodded, feeling a little relieved. He knew that with Taoist Master Xuanzhen here, there was hope for the Taoist temple. He looked up at the dark night sky and swore in his heart that he must catch the leader himself and eliminate the hidden dangers for the Taoist temple!

At the same time, in a corner of the Taoist temple, the leader was hiding in a remote place, carefully observing the movements around him under the cover of night. He knew that the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen must be searching for his whereabouts at this moment, so he had to be careful and not expose himself.

The leader was filled with resentment and anger. He had planned to take the opportunity to sneak attack the Taoist temple and destroy the force that had been against him. However, he did not expect that the old man in black robes would see through his disguise and join forces with Taoist Xuanzhen to besiege him. Although he finally escaped by luck, his injuries were not light.

He looked down at the wound on his chest, blood had soaked through his clothes. He knew that he had to find a safe place to heal as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he was discovered by the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen, he would be dead.

The leader endured the severe pain and stood up carefully. He looked around and made sure that no one noticed him, then he sneaked towards the back mountain of the Taoist temple. He knew that there was a hidden cave in the back mountain that could be used as his hiding place temporarily.

However, just as he was about to leave the temple, three women suddenly came towards him. The leader was shocked and thought to himself that it was not good. He was seriously injured at the moment and could not cast magic to escape. If he was discovered by these three women, the consequences would be disastrous.

His mind raced, and suddenly an idea struck him. He took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining magic power in his body, and transformed himself into a clever and cute little rabbit. Then he jumped up and jumped into the grass by the roadside.

The three women walked past the leader, talking and laughing, without noticing anything unusual in the bushes. The leader was secretly glad that he had escaped a disaster for the time being. He did not dare to stay for long, and when the three women walked away, he immediately came out of the bushes.

The leader stuck his head out and looked around. After confirming that it was safe, he was about to leave. Suddenly, he felt a gentle touch. He looked up and saw a young woman squatting in front of him, smiling at him.

"What a cute little rabbit!" the woman said softly, reaching out to pick up the leader.

The leader was startled, but then he thought that this might be a rare opportunity. He could use the woman's identity to lurk in the Taoist temple and look for opportunities to take revenge. So he did not resist, but lay obediently in the woman's arms.

The woman's name is Li Wenjing, and she is a disciple in the Taoist temple. She is kind-hearted and loves small animals. When she saw the cute little rabbit, she felt pity for it and decided to take it back to her room to take care of it.

After the leader was brought back to the room by Li Wenjing, he was secretly delighted. He successfully lurked beside Li Wenjing, and now he only needed to wait for the right time to implement his revenge plan.

As the night deepened, the Taoist temple was in a state of tranquility. Li Wenjing took the cute little rabbit back to her room, carefully placed it on a corner of the bed, and gently stroked its fur. The little rabbit lay there quietly, eyes closed, and seemed to enjoy the tenderness very much. However, under the soft fur of the rabbit, the leader's heart was full of resentment and anger.

The leader lay on Li Wenjing's bed, feeling mixed emotions. He had originally planned to use this opportunity to lurk in the Taoist temple and look for opportunities to take revenge on the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen. However, during the days he spent with Li Wenjing, he was moved by her kindness and innocence, and the resentment and hatred in his heart gradually dissipated.

However, every time night fell and the leader lay alone in the darkness, he would think of his injuries and the pursuit of the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen. He knew that he could not forget his purpose and must find an opportunity to take revenge.

However, he also began to hesitate whether he should really take action against this kind woman.

In this contradiction and struggle, the leader spent one long night after another.

During the day, he wandered around the Taoist temple in the identity of a rabbit, secretly observing the movements of the black-robed old man and Taoist Master Xuanzhen.

At night, he hid in Li Wenjing's room, using her cover to conceal his whereabouts.

One night, the leader quietly jumped out of bed while Li Wenjing was sleeping. He wandered to a remote corner of the Taoist temple and began to cast spells, intending to sneak attack the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen.

But just as he was about to take action, a sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor and knocked him back several steps.

The leader looked up and saw Taoist Xuanzhen holding a sword, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Master, we finally found your hiding place!" Taoist Xuanzhen snorted coldly.

The leader was shocked, but then he thought of Li Wenjing who was still sleeping in the room. He must not let her be involved in this dispute.

"Master Xuanzhen, the grudge between us can be resolved slowly, but please don't hurt innocent people." The leader pleaded, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Innocent people? You mean that woman? How dare she take in a demon like you!" Taoist Xuanzhen shouted angrily, swinging his sword at the leader. The sword flashed like lightning, unstoppable.

The leader dodged the attack of Taoist Xuan Zhen with a flash. He knew that he was no match for Taoist Xuan Zhen, but he could not just sit there and wait for death. So, he tried his best and started a fierce battle with Taoist Xuan Zhen.

At this time, the old man in black robe also heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing that the leader and Taoist Xuanzhen were fighting to a standstill, he was secretly delighted and took the opportunity to attack the leader from behind, hitting him on the back with a palm.

The leader groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around and glared at the old man in black robe, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"You two old bastards, you actually teamed up to deal with me!" The leader roared, his voice echoing in the night sky, full of resentment. He knew that he had to do his best to break through the siege, otherwise he would be in a desperate situation. So, he turned into a black light and rushed towards the black-robed old man, trying to break through.

However, the black-robed old man and Taoist Xuanzhen cooperated well, preventing the leader from breaking out. The disciples in the Taoist temple were also awakened and rushed to watch this thrilling fight, but no one dared to intervene.

Just then, a clear flute sound suddenly rang out.

When the leader heard the sound of the flute, his heart trembled. He turned around and saw Li Wenjing standing not far away, holding the flute and playing it.

Her eyes were filled with worry and concern, as if calling on him to stop fighting.

When the leader saw Li Wenjing's eyes, his heart warmed. He knew that he could not fight any longer and could not let her be involved in this dispute.

He flashed out of the battle range and came to Li Wenjing.

"Why are you here? It's dangerous here, go back!" The leader said anxiously, his voice full of concern for Li Wenjing. However, Li Wenjing did not answer him, but just hugged him tightly, tears sliding down his cheeks.

"Stop hitting me! Please stop hitting me!" she shouted loudly, her voice full of pleading.

The leader gently stroked Li Wenjing's hair and said softly, "Okay, we won't fight anymore."

He knew deeply that he had fallen in love with this innocent and kind woman. His heart was no longer filled with hatred, but was moved by Li Wenjing's love.

However, at this warm and peaceful moment, Taoist Xuanzhen's cold voice sounded again: "Master, do you think you can escape your crime like this? Do you think your love can offset the harm you have done to the Taoist temple and us?"

He held a long sword in his hand and pressed forward step by step, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the leader's throat.

The leader held Li Wenjing's hand tightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes. He turned to face Taoist Xuanzhen and said in a deep voice: "Master Xuanzhen, I know I have done many wrong things in the past, which have caused great harm to the Taoist temple and you. But I am willing to spend the rest of my life to make up for these mistakes. I am not running away, but facing and taking responsibility."

"Face it and bear it?" Taoist Xuan Zhen sneered, "Do you think this can wash away your sins? Do you think your love can make us forget your betrayal and hurt?"

"I'm not asking you to forget." The leader said, "I just hope you can give me a chance to prove that I have changed. I am willing to do anything for the Taoist temple and you, even sacrifice my life."

"Your life?" Taoist Xuanzhen said sternly, "Your life should have ended long ago! You, a devil, do not deserve love and happiness at all!" As he said that, he swung his sword at the leader, the sword light was like a rainbow, and went straight for the leader's throat.

The leader dodged the attack of Taoist Xuan Zhen again. He knew that he was no match for Taoist Xuan Zhen, but he couldn't just surrender.

He held Li Wenjing's hand tightly and said, "Jing'er, believe me, I will definitely protect you."

Li Wenjing looked into the leader's eyes, which were full of trust and determination.

She nodded and said, "I believe you, no matter what happens, I will be with you."

The leader felt warm in his heart, knowing that he was no longer alone. He used all his strength to fight with Taoist Xuanzhen again.

The old man in black robe also joined the battle, and the fight between the three became more and more intense.

All the disciples in the Taoist temple were awakened and rushed to watch this thrilling fight.

The moonlight sprinkled on the battlefield, and the silver sword light and black shadows intertwined together, forming a thrilling picture.

The battle between the leader, Taoist Xuanzhen and the old man in black robe became more and more intense. Various special skills were frequently displayed, and the air around them seemed to be shaking.

The leader had a firm belief and a hint of sadness in his heart. He knew that this battle might be the end of him. But he had no regrets and only hoped to protect Li Wenjing at the last moment. Every time he swung his sword and dodged, he fought for Li Wenjing and for their love.

The old man in black robe had a gloomy look in his eyes, and every move was fatal. Taoist Xuanzhen was extremely angry, and his long sword carried the force of thunder, and every attack almost killed the leader.

The leader was struggling and gradually became exhausted. Suddenly, Taoist Xuanzhen let out a long roar, and the sword light surged, slashing towards the leader. The leader tried his best to resist, but he only felt a huge force coming, and his body was blown away.

"Master!" Li Wenjing screamed and tried to rush forward, but was stopped by an invisible force. She burst into tears and helplessly watched the Master fall in a pool of blood.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of the leader's mouth. He raised his head and looked at Li Wenjing. His eyes were full of reluctance and regret, but also a sense of relief. He whispered, "Jing'er, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."

After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes, and his soul drifted away with the wind.

Li Wenjing was stunned. She couldn't accept what she saw. Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads falling off a string. Her eyes were empty, as if she wanted to pour out all the sadness in her heart. She couldn't believe that the leader who had treated her tenderly and made a vow to her had left her like this.

"No! This is impossible!" She screamed, trying her best to break through the invisible air wall and run to the leader's side. However, no matter how she struggled, the air wall was as solid as a rock, blocking her out firmly.

Taoist Priest Xuanzhen and the old man in black robes did not expect the leader to be so fragile. They looked at each other, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes. But soon, this complexity was replaced by the joy of victory.

"Finally dead! We finally killed this demon!" Taoist Xuanzhen raised his sword high and shouted excitedly. His voice resounded in the night sky and echoed throughout the Taoist temple.

The old man in black robe also breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in his heart finally lifted. He glanced at Li Wenjing, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by indifference. "Woman, you should wake up now. This demon is not worthy of your true love."

However, Li Wenjing seemed to be deaf to all this and continued to stare blankly at the leader's body. Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If she had not taken the leader in and fallen in love with him, would all this have never happened?
But she knew that there were no ifs in this world. She could only face the cruel reality before her, that the leader who had accompanied and protected her had left forever.

At this moment, thunder roared in the sky, and a flash of lightning broke through the night sky, illuminating the entire Taoist temple. Then, a strong airflow surged from all directions, sweeping everyone in.

"What's going on?" The old man in black robe shouted in fear, but it was too late to react. The airflow instantly enveloped them and took them into the air.

Li Wenjing only felt her body rising rapidly, with the wind whistling in her ears. She subconsciously hugged herself and closed her eyes. After an unknown amount of time, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

This was a desolate ruin, with broken walls and charred wood. The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled, as if a torrential rain was about to pour. Li Wenjing looked around and found that besides her, there were other people who were also teleported here. She saw Taoist Xuanzhen and the old man in black robes both unconscious not far away.

A sense of uneasiness surged in her heart. This place gave her an extremely dangerous feeling, as if something horrible was lurking in the dark and watching them. (End of this chapter)
