Slaying demons and eliminating evil, a martial saint among mortals.

Xu Qinghe turned to look at him and said matter-of-factly, "Yes!"

"I just opened the door; I didn't say I wanted you to come in."

That makes so much sense!

Qin Lie was speechless after hearing this.

However, there was no time to argue with Xu Qinghe at this point.

After the main hall doors were opened, the chilling atmosphere grew stronger.

Qin Lie flipped his wrist and placed the broken snow directly in front of him.

The blade pointed diagonally at the ground, and the person assumed a defensive stance.

Xu Qinghe stood to the side, looking at his tense expression, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's nothing, why are you so scared?"

Qin Lie did not put down his knife, his gaze remaining fixed on the main hall.

"This matter is of utmost importance."

"Above the first rank".

"We might both die here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe's smile vanished.

The next moment, her eyes reddened slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry again.

Are you accusing me?

Qin Lie felt a wave of embarrassment.

He really isn't in the mood to act in these things with Xu Qinghe right now.

"At this point, let's stop doing all this."

Seeing his tense expression, Xu Qinghe suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe."

After she finished speaking, she looked into the main hall.

There was a hint of amusement in her red eyes.

"You stay outside."

"I'll go ahead and scout the way."

Qin Lie's expression changed.

"etc……"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qinghe had already stepped across the threshold of the main hall and entered the hall.

then.

Boom!

A muffled thud.

Qin Lie only saw a dark shadow fly out in front of him.

Extremely fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the dark figure slammed heavily against the wall behind him.

boom!

The wall vibrated.

Gravel rolled down.

Qin Lie froze on the spot.

Take a closer look.

Who else could it be but Xu Qinghe, who just stepped into the main hall?

Qin Lie's heart tightened, and he rushed over.

"Qinghe!"

He came to Xu Qinghe's side and first checked her breathing.

Ok.

There's still air.

Qin Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then quickly reached out and helped Xu Qinghe up from the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Xu Qinghe leaned against the wall and coughed twice.

His complexion was noticeably paler than before.

She raised her hand to wipe her mouth, a hint of annoyance flashing in her red eyes.

Damn it.

"This frail body is severely limiting my strength."

Qin Lie was speechless for a moment.

So, all that talk about your strength being above the first rank was just bragging, right?

He might even be a realm higher than Pei Jinghan, but he was sent flying as soon as he entered the door.

Qin Lie helped Xu Qinghe up and turned his gaze back to the main hall.

Just then, heavy footsteps echoed from inside the hall.

Qin Lie supported Xu Qinghe with one hand and gripped Sui Xue tightly with the other.

Soon, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the main hall.

His tall body was covered in tattered black armor!

Although the figure before us has lost some of its vibrancy compared to a hundred years ago, it still carries that oppressive feeling that makes it hard to breathe.

It was none other than Pei Jinghan.

The moment Qin Lie saw him, his eyes widened in shock.

"General Pei! Don't make a move, they're all on our side."

Qin Lie was actually pleasantly surprised by Pei Jinghan's awakening.

After all, he had personally witnessed how Pei Jinghan became the core of the formation along the way.

I also witnessed firsthand how the three thousand men of the Broken Wind Camp died.

If Pei Jinghan truly regains his senses, that would naturally be the best outcome.

More importantly, Pei Jinghan in front of him did not have that feeling of being surrounded by demonic energy.

At least on the surface, it doesn't seem to be completely out of control.

But Pei Jinghan didn't respond to him, and didn't even glance at him.

He simply stepped out of the main hall, one step at a time.

The sunlight fell on him.

Pei Jinghan raised his hand to block out the glaring light.

The next moment, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"A century has passed, and I have finally seen the light of day again."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Lie's heart sank to the bottom.

This seat.

This self-proclaimed title is completely unfamiliar.

He had never heard Pei Jinghan address him like that before.

A hundred years ago, when Pei Jinghan stood atop the city wall of Duanfeng Pass, facing the demon army, he had never used such a condescending tone.

In other words, the "Pei Jinghan" standing in front of him was not the Pei Jinghan he knew a hundred years ago.

If he weren't Pei Jinghan.

So who is controlling this body now?

Just then, Pei Jinghan's gaze finally fell on Qin Lie.

"Human brat, I remember you."

"It was you who drove the ninth nail into Pei Jinghan's body back then."

"You ruined my grand plan."

"I never imagined that a hundred years later, the first person I would see after I awoke would be you."

Qin Lie's pupils contracted slightly.

Upon hearing this, he immediately knew who the person in front of him was.

He can refer to himself as "this seat".

A hundred years ago, he ruined his grand plan again.

Who else could it be but Uguro?

But he couldn't understand it.

How did Pei Jinghan get possessed by Wugu Luo?

A hundred years ago, although Pei Jinghan was corrupted by demon blood, he eventually merged with the Broken Wind Formation and became the core of the formation.

Logically speaking, with the Wind-Severing Array suppressing it and the Nine Wind-Severing Nails holding it back, Wugu Luo shouldn't have been able to take over this body so easily.

Moreover, the difference in strength between the two is not so great that one side could completely overwhelm the other.

There must be other reasons behind this.

Before Qin Lie could speak, Xu Qinghe beside him had already struggled to her feet.

She leaned against the wall, her face still a little pale.

But the anger in those red eyes hadn't diminished at all.

She looked at Pei Jinghan and sneered.

"Old monster."

"Don't talk about this anymore."

"You hit me just now, how are we going to settle this score?"

Qin Lie stood to the side and couldn't help but silently give her a thumbs up in his heart.

You're really brave.

He just got slapped and sent flying, yet he still dares to provoke others.

Wugu Luo shifted his gaze from Qin Lie to Xu Qinghe.

He looked Xu Qinghe up and down a few times, then grinned.

"Little girl."

You smell so good.

Qin Lie's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

Is this old ghost quite lecherous?

Upon seeing a woman, he immediately compliments her fragrance?

Wugu Luo stared at Xu Qinghe, a hint of greed in his voice.

"I'll eat you first in a moment."

Qin Lie paused for a moment, realizing that he had made a mistake.

Xu Qinghe looked at Wugu Luo, her red eyes filled with coldness.

"You think you can eat me?"

"If it weren't for this body limiting my abilities, you would have been the one flying out just now."

Uguro chuckled softly.

"You said it yourself, it's this body that's limiting your performance."

"That's because you're not good enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged.

"Prepare to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wugu Luo vanished from his spot.

The next moment, he had already rushed towards Xu Qinghe.

The speed was so fast that Qin Lie could barely see it.

Xu Qinghe's smile also faded.

She raised her hand and waved it, and the Soul Sealing Book instantly opened, with each page moving on its own without any wind.

Red light surged from the pages of the book, transforming into chains that coiled around Wugu Luo.

Wugu Luo snorted coldly and raised his hand to grab.

The black energy condensed into a giant claw, tearing open the red chains.

boom!

The two forces collided.

The ground in front of the main hall shook violently.

Qin Lie was so shocked that he staggered back several steps.

He immediately realized that this level of confrontation was beyond his ability to intervene at present.

A peak seventh-grade expert might not seem weak to ordinary people, but compared to Wu Gu Luo and the red-eyed Xu Qing He, they are simply no match.

If he insists on staying nearby, he will not only be unable to help, but will also become a burden to Xu Qinghe.

She'll have to worry about protecting herself then.

Thinking of this, Qin Lie did not hesitate and immediately retreated a bit further away.

Xu Qinghe and Wugu Luo have completely fallen into a battle.

Red chains kept flying out of the Soul Sealing Book.

It coiled around Wugu Luo's limbs and between his eyebrows.

But Wugu Luo is currently occupying Pei Jinghan's body, and his physical body is terrifyingly strong.

With each step he took, a crack would appear in the ground.

Every move he made carried an oppressive force that left people breathless.

In front of the main hall, rubble flew everywhere.

The entire Broken Wind Pass seemed to tremble during the battle between the two.

Qin Lie stood at a distance, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Because he soon realized that Xu Qinghe was at a disadvantage.

Her methods were bizarre, and the Soul Sealing Book could indeed restrain Wugu Luo.

But Wugu Luo occupied Pei Jinghan's body.

Pei Jinghan is also connected to the Broken Wind Formation.

Even after a century, the power within this body has not been completely extinguished.

It is even more terrifying than it was a hundred years ago, thanks to the blessing of the Wind-Breaking Array over the past century.

Every time Wugu Luo was pinned down by the red chains, he managed to break free using Pei Jinghan's physical body.

Every time Xu Qinghe tried to suppress him, it was like punching cotton; it had no effect whatsoever.

Qin Lie watched anxiously from the side.

Lu Chen and Li Hu don't know if they've made it out of Duanfeng Pass yet.

They need to hurry and spread the message so the city lord can come over.

If Xu Qinghe couldn't hold on before the city lord arrived, then he and Xu Qinghe would probably both perish here today.
