After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 203 Everyone's dead, now it's your turn!
The reason she didn't act directly was because she was trying to get information out of him!

He was none other than Ling Yun's fifth disciple, Wei Zhizhou.

Lin Yan simply couldn't believe that the other party would attack her for no reason during such a large and chaotic competition.

No one else knew that he had killed Tao Zhizhi. What could possibly have driven Wei Zhizhou to attack her at this critical juncture?
Is someone behind this, or is there another reason?
The worst possible scenario flashed through Lin Yan's mind: Could it be that Tao Zhizhi or Ling Yun were not dead at all, but secretly left the secret realm and hired Wei Zhizhou to assassinate her?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Having witnessed the master and disciple die with my own eyes, I'm certain they're completely dead. Even with the protagonist's halo, there's no way they could be resurrected!

Wei Zhizhou, believing his identity had not yet been exposed, continued to drive away the demonic beasts while simultaneously unleashing his magical artifacts to attack her.

His uncooperative attitude annoyed Lin Yan, so she decided to beat him until he broke his arms and legs before questioning him properly.

Having made up my mind, I will no longer play cat and mouse with him.

Within her own array, she summoned her contracted beast directly through a contract.

Upon entering the illusionary array, Wei Zhizhou was immediately overwhelmed by the attacks from both sides by the Crimson Enchantress and the Snow Frost Eagle.

She seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal blow, instantly crippling her opponent.

His magical artifacts were all destroyed, and his limbs were severed, just like the way he had dealt with the dummies before.

Seeing that Wei Zhizhou was unable to resist, she used a spell to expose his disguise and reveal his true colors.

At this moment, Wei Zhizhou was in a sorry state, his disguise exposed, and could only shout and curse in a helpless rage.

It must be said that this person still has some backbone; even though life and death are in her hands, she will never beg for mercy.

However, he was truly vicious. Apart from those few on Wenxin Peak, anyone who offended him in the slightest would be tortured beyond recognition.

She wouldn't tolerate it; every time he cursed, she would slash him hard with her sword! Although it wouldn't kill him, it caused him excruciating pain.

When he was too exhausted to shout and curse, he slowly asked again, "Who sent you to kill me?"

"You treacherous, ungrateful wretch who betrayed your master and murdered your fellow disciples, you deserve to die! Did you really need someone to send me here?"

He was somewhat "satisfied" with this assessment of him. However, the man's uncooperative attitude was truly displeasing, so he immediately sent him to his death.

Even after tormenting him to this extent, he still refuses to utter a single word, so there's really no point in asking any further.

Another possibility is that no one sent him at all.

After he emerged from seclusion, he heard some rumors and harbored prejudice against Lin Yan. He wanted to avenge his sect, which is why he came here rashly.

Such people are quite loyal and affectionate towards those they consider "good people".

If you can't get any valuable information out of him, there's no point in keeping him around!

Lin Yan looked down at him coldly and said, "Your master, senior brother, and junior sister are all dead. Now it's your turn!" After saying that, she ended his life without hesitation.

To ensure his complete demise, they even kindly chose the same method of death for him as that of old man Ling Yun—burning him with spiritual fire, leaving nothing but ashes. After exiting the array plate, the Crimson Enchantress and the Snow Frost Eagle reverted to their juvenile forms.

She put away the array plate, removed the shielding barrier, hugged the two little ones tightly in her arms, and walked back.

After all this commotion, it's very late at night.

There weren't many light-emitting devices in this area, so it was pitch black the whole way. Fortunately, as a Golden Core cultivator, my eyesight wasn't affected at night.

As she walked, Lin Yan vaguely heard what sounded like a cultivator going berserk.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If only she hadn't impulsively decided to take a nighttime walk and had just flown back on her sword.

I hate stumbling upon other people's secrets. Even if I didn't hear them clearly, it will definitely cause trouble once I do.

He intended to leave immediately, but the person blocked his way. Upon closer inspection, the person looked somewhat familiar.

"I won't meddle in other people's business, and you shouldn't cause me any trouble, okay?" she suggested, looking at Lu Ji, whose eyes were red.

Rumors were circulating that Lu Ji was unwell and had withdrawn from the secret realm trial to return to his sect. Encountering him on Xuan Tian Sect territory was... somewhat unexpected.

However, Lu Ji acted as if he hadn't heard her. His eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a strange aura, as if he would rush over and suck her blood at any moment.

What's going on? Has he fallen to demonic possession?
No, his condition is different from that old man Ling Yun.

The fallen demons couldn't control their murderous desires, but Lu Ji clearly had no killing intent. The way he looked at me was more like he was looking at food!

Holy crap! Does he want to eat people?
The two little ones in Lin Yan's arms immediately bristled and let out low growls at him.

"Lu Ji, are you awake now?" she asked, already prepared to throw out the talisman the moment he made a move.

He seemed not to hear her at all, his eyes glowing red, and he was about to pounce on her and suck her blood!

At this moment, Lu Ji could no longer distinguish who was in front of him; he only knew that he was starving and desperately craved blood.

In his eyes, Lin Yan was not a person, but food to fill his stomach!
"Blood...your blood smells so good..."

She felt a chill run down her spine and instantly realized that the other party was treating her like a walking blood bank, only wanting to suck her blood and completely losing their rationality.

Judging from his condition, he doesn't seem to be able to use magic anymore; he looks more like a wild beast hunting prey on instinct.

Lin Yan acted decisively, using her spiritual sense to quickly retrieve the Binding Rope from her storage bag, and in the blink of an eye, she tightly bound his legs and hands.

Lu Ji lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud. He struggled desperately, making incoherent roars, unable to speak properly.

Seeing that he could only struggle and wriggle without any resistance, she added another binding rope, binding him tightly.

When they cast spells to bind people, the two little ones wisely jump to the ground and find a good defensive position. If their owner is in danger, they can immediately launch an attack on the enemy.

She tied him up and prepared to call for help. Suddenly, Lu Ji's eyes cleared, and he weakly said, "No...don't call for help! Save me..."

Tsk? Does he think he's some kind of saint?
She thought to herself, Lu Ji is in a dangerous state right now, and she doesn't know why he's become like this. How can she save him?
What if he's carrying a lot of trouble? Saving him might just bring endless trouble upon herself, wouldn't that be a losing proposition? Besides, what benefit would she gain from saving him?
Lin Yan quickly considered the situation in her mind. Rescuing someone did indeed involve many risks, but since the other party was offering reasonable compensation, she was willing to lend a helping hand...
