After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

"What should we do?"

"Does Liu Ruoci already know about our plan to replace the valley leader?"

"It shouldn't be. If he really knew, he should be coming after us now, instead of stubbornly guarding the young lady's cave."

The three secretly communicated, their expressions growing increasingly anxious.

Just before they reached the corner of a corridor leading to Liu Rumei's cave, Old Qian suddenly blocked his two friends' path.

He whispered, "Concern leads to confusion. Don't rush out, or we'll expose our presence and ruin Miss's grand plan."

Old Sun nodded and replied, "Alright, then the three of us will hide here for a while and observe the situation."

After the discussion, the three of them immediately concealed themselves, hiding in a corner and peering towards the entrance of Liu Rumei's cave.

With just one glance, the three of them sensed the intense killing intent in Liu Ruoci's expression.

"What to do, what to do..."

"Given your current level of cultivation, Miss has no way of contending with him."

"Or should we lure him away?"

Just do it.

Old Sun revealed himself, his expression changed, and he hurriedly walked towards Liu Ruoci in a flustered manner.

"Great! Valley Master, so you're here! I've finally found you. Some of our disciples are fighting outside, you must go and take a look..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoci frowned slightly: "Take a few elders and handle this. Don't bother me with such trivial matters!"

He cannot leave.

If no one is watching, Liu Rumei could easily escape.

During the time Liu Ruoci waited there, he thought a lot. Based on the situation in his dream, he had already guessed who was supporting Liu Rumei.

—Without a doubt, Luo Huanzhen.

Sure enough, everyone who got involved with Luo Zhenhuan gave him a huge headache.

The thought of Liu Rumei hiding in the Spirit Stack Cave like a turtle and refusing to open the door made Liu Ruoci extremely irritable. Therefore, seeing that Elder Sun couldn't even handle such a small matter and had to come and bother him, she was already extremely annoyed, and now her mood worsened.

Upon seeing this, Elder Sun paused for a moment, then immediately said, "This subordinate will go and resolve this immediately."

After saying that, he turned and ran away in a hurry.

He concealed himself again, returned to the corner, and said in a heavy tone, "No, we can't lure him away."

Old Zhou was getting anxious: "What should we do then?"

Old Qian gritted his teeth: "If all else fails, we'll just rebel on the spot and fight him to the death. Some of the disciples we brought this time are our people. Although the time isn't ripe yet, if Miss is gone, waiting for the right opportunity will be pointless!"

That makes sense.

"Old Qian, I'll listen to you."

Just as the three were about to rush out, an extremely terrifying feeling suddenly rose from all directions, as if they had been pulled into a terrifying realm.

The three of them shuddered immediately!

He turned his head and looked slowly.

Suddenly, at the end of the corridor ahead, a tall cultivator in a crimson robe appeared.

He was holding a chain in his hand.

Chains jingled, connecting to the neck of a pure white demon beast.

He walked slowly down the corridor, encountering some monks along the way.

He merely glanced at the cultivator, and the cultivator he was looking at instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, his heart pounding violently in mid-air, as if he hadn't even realized that his body had already perished.

The demonic beast he was holding opened its large mouth, curled its long tongue, and the heart fell into its belly.

The other monks in the corridor looked horrified.

They wanted to escape.

But he found that his hands and feet were completely out of his control.

The strange cultivator, leading his demonic beast, slowly walked towards Liu Ruoci and their young lady's cave amidst the clanging of chains—

I want to escape, I want to run away.

However, the elders were completely unable to move for the time being.

Liu Ruoci trembled all over as she watched the cultivator approach her.

Who is he?

Why does it feel so terrifying?

If he could still muster the will to survive when facing Qiao Shouxuan before, then the feeling he got from this red-robed cultivator now was despair.

The red-robed monks are an unfathomable ocean.

Liu Ruoci, on the other hand, was an ant.

He thought he would be like the other cultivators in the corridor, turning into a bloody mist with just one glance from him, and then having his heart devoured by the demonic beast he was holding.

but no.

The red-robed monk stopped in front of him, looked at him, and calmly asked, "The causal thread broke at this point, so you've seen this child before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Huanzhen's phantom appeared in front of Liu Ruoci.

The phantom lingered in the air for a few breaths before quickly dissipating.

Liu Ruoci knew that this cultivator was probably looking for Luo Huanzhen.

But for some reason, he couldn't directly see Luo Huanzhen's location, so he used a secret technique to track him down here.

It seems that the person he is tracking is Liu Rumei, who lives in this cave.

He misunderstood simply because he was standing at the entrance of Liu Rumei's cave.

But this was her only chance to survive, and this male cultivator clearly had ill intentions, so Liu Ruoci said without hesitation, "I've seen her before. Her name is Luo Huanzhen, and she's the sect leader of the Xuantian Sect. Senior, are you looking for her?"

Zhao Gangyue calmly asked, "Very well, tell me, where is she now?"

Liu Ruoci immediately said, "Senior, my sister is in the room. She has a close relationship with Luo Huanzhen. If you search her soul, you'll find out where Luo Huanzhen is!"

Zhao Gangyue glanced down at Liu Ruoci from his high vantage point, then turned to face the cave dwelling.

He slightly raised his hand, and the cave entrance instantly vanished.

Liu Ruoci was speechless with astonishment.

Such power is terrifying... It's as silent as gently brushing away dust.

Luo really did provoke such a monster; she's in for a world of hurt!

The cultivator slowly stepped into the cave, while Liu Ruoci remained frozen at the entrance, drenched in sweat and trembling uncontrollably.

Inside the cave, Yu Tianrong and Liu Ruoci supported each other.

The two watched helplessly as the strange monk approached them, their faces drained of all color.

Zhao Gangyue's gaze fell on the two of them. The next moment, Liu Rumei was captured by an invisible force and slowly flew into the sky.

"You're his sister? You two look alike, which saves me a lot of trouble. Where is that little girl? Just tell me, and I won't search your soul, and I'll spare your life."

"Don't even think about it..."

Liu Rumei was a little out of breath. Her gaze fell on Liu Ruoci's face at the door, filled with hatred.
