The improved female villains regained their memories.

It was as cold as the year the old werewolf left.

She remembered something she had said a long, long time ago.

"People always have to leave."

Last time, it was because of her.

This time is no different.

Is winter here?

If not, why is it so cold?

-------------

Xiao Qitian walked step by step towards the top of the mountain.

Behind him, a trail of corpses and bloodstains was left.

Halfway there, he seemed to sense something, and his body instinctively paused.

"Master, he's dead..."

It seems that Li Chumo ultimately could not escape the constraints of fate.

Xiao Qitian sighed. Yang Pingsheng's death left him unmoved; he had his own things to do.

He walked to the Fulong Tree once again and looked at the towering tree.

"Dragon Tree, oh Dragon Tree, tell me, what is fate?"

Few people know the true origin and function of the Fiery Cross Tree.

But Xiao Qitian knew.

The Hidden Dragon Tree is the foundation of the Void Spirit Sect. The core of the sect's grand formation is not so much in the forbidden area, but rather in the Hidden Dragon Tree.

It is a natural energy transfer station, gathering and enveloping the Kongling Sect with spiritual energy.

The Dragon Tree is the lifeblood of the Void Spirit Sect.

The first patriarch of the Kongling Sect rose to prominence and became the number one person in the world because he obtained the Fulong Tree, thus establishing the number one sect in the world.

Xiao Qitian turned his head to look at the ancestral stone statue extending from the cave.

"Is it 'referred to as teacher' or 'ancestor'? Is it 'Taoism' or '

As he read, he suddenly chuckled softly:

"It's just pure luck."

He waved his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy flew out, shattering the stone statue.

The ancestral stone statue is broken, but the Fulong Tree still stands here. It is neither born for anything nor destroyed for anything.

"If the Ancestor can obtain it, then I, Xiao Qitian, can naturally obtain it as well."

He reached out and channeled his spiritual energy into the Fulong Tree.

Life?

Xiao Qitian remained unmoved, and the spiritual energy he infused in grew even stronger.

He, Xiao Qitian, is the lifeblood of the Kongling Sect.

Chapter 448 Good and Evil

My master hasn't replied for several days.

Ever since she boldly asked that question that day, the girl has been waiting.

She had expected her master to reply that same day, as he always had, but he didn't.

Not only that, but for several days in a row, no new letters arrived from my master.

One storybook after another was delivered, and the girl didn't find it boring at all.

But what about Master?

Is he angry?

The girl's anxious heart was thus hidden in the passage of time. She wondered, had she really been presumptuous?

After all, he was an elder of the Kongling Sect. His question did indeed contain some hidden motives, but it shouldn't have warranted such anger.

She was thinking about it until a few days later, when she received a letter from Lan Xiu.

The letter said nothing, only leaving her with one sentence:

Don't come back.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't that her master wasn't replying; something had happened.

Without thinking twice, she rushed back home without even having time to pack her things.

When she rushed back to Yunxi City, it had become a living hell.

Lanxi City, once a beautiful city, has been destroyed in the flames of war. Thick smoke rises into the sky, and the cries of the people echo in the air. The battle between good and evil has been going on for a long time, and it continues to this day.

Some of the people in the cultivation palace surrendered, while others resisted step by step. The celestial immortals fought in the sky, the earth immortals fought in the suburbs, and the street battles in the city were left to the cultivators.

Some have just nurtured their spiritual roots, some have completed the tempering and purification of their bodies, and some have even stepped into the level of a half-step Earth Immortal.

boom!

A demonic cultivator roared and charged into the crowd, causing two cultivators from the cultivation academy to retreat in defeat, no match for him.

The girl drew her sword, and a demonic aura surged into the sky.

Before the demonic cultivator could react, he was beheaded with a single sword strike.

The girl helped the two up: "Where is Lan Xiu?"

The two cultivators looked at each other. One of them recognized the girl and, enduring his pain, said, "Lord Lan is at the City Lord's Mansion, organizing men with Lord Zhi Xinghan to cover the retreat."

The girl thanked him and hurried off in that direction.

She didn't know what had happened here, nor did she know what had happened to her master. At this moment, she couldn't rush to the Kongling Sect. Her top priority was to rescue Lan Xiu and find out what had happened.

High in the azure sky, a celestial being manipulated a flock of crows to attack.

He was full of bloodlust, with thick eyebrows and a scar on his face, making him look extremely fierce.

"Yunxi City, Yunxi City, hahahahaha, I never thought I would be able to return here one day. Good, good, good, you hypocritical righteous people, it's really satisfying to see you end up like this." He laughed loudly and pointed at Yunxi City.

Xiao Qitian brought few men with him to this surprise attack on the righteous path, but they were all undoubtedly elites. This person who controls the crows is also at the Celestial Immortal realm and is a figure revered by thousands in the Demonic Sect. He is one of the three great protectors and is known as the Lord of the Crows.

Others might support Xiao Qitian because he has the demeanor of a ruthless hero, but this guy supports Xiao Qitian because he doesn't care who the leader of the Demonic Sect is. He'll support whoever can lead him to destroy the righteous path.

A celestial being's attack on a city would be like a nuclear bomb. None of the celestial beings in the Demonic Sect would lay a hand on mortals, but this person would.

Because this city had humiliated him endlessly back then, and now he wanted to get revenge.

Black crows cawed and flew in like locusts; when people looked up, they could only see a dark cloud descending from the sky.

"what is that?"

"They're crows! So many crows!"

"That's not a crow, it's a deadly move from the Immortal Path! Defend quickly!"

"How could a celestial being have come to attack? Has the Void Spirit Sect already fallen?"

The righteous cultivators were shaken to their core, and even their fighting spirit wavered.

"Protect mortals!"

Someone shouted, but his body was immediately pierced through by a crow.

Someone even shouted to the sky: "There was a rule in the battle between good and evil many years ago that mortals should not be harmed. Senior, are you trying to break the rule by using such a large-scale killing move?!"

Before he could finish shouting, he was enveloped by a flock of crows and corrupted into a skeleton.

"Hmph, rules? I've already joined the demonic path, why should I care about rules?" The Lord of the Crows sneered, mercilessly increasing the intensity of his killing move.

A flock of crows descended like rain, filling the sky.

Explosions, screams, flames, blood—with the arrival of the Lord of the Crows, the battle became one-sided.

The people of the Cultivation Palace suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat to the City Lord's Mansion.

Around the city lord's mansion, some members of the demonic cult had already reached there, but they were held back by the people from the cultivation academy there. The enemy was not the problem; the difficulty was the large influx of wounded.

"Boss!"

Zhi Xinghan killed a member of the demonic cult, wiped the blood from his face, turned around and heard that familiar voice. He turned to see Lan Xiu running towards him and asked, "How is it?"

"The wounded have all been taken care of," Lan Xiu said. "But the enemy's attack is very fast. The outer cultivation palaces have already collapsed. Only the cultivators from the city lord's mansion still have fighting power."

"That......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of wings flapping and saw a flock of crows approaching.

At that moment, he had a premonition.

The righteous path has declined.

The evil forces are rising; Heaven has no eyes.

It wasn't just the city lord's mansion that was attacked, but also the young girl who was on her way there.

She was also attacked by a flock of crows.

These crows are essentially manifestations of fire spirit energy, each one resembling a small bomb, and even possessing the ability to corrode spirit energy. Fortunately, the girl uses demonic energy, so the crows' corrosive abilities have little effect on her.

She had already transformed into a half-beast, and with a sweep of her tail, a large flock of crows fell.

She arrived at the city lord's mansion and saw that familiar figure from afar. She immediately shouted, "Sister Lan Xiu!"

Lan Xiuzheng and Zhi Xinghan stood back to back, fending off the crows, when suddenly they heard someone call her name. The familiar voice stirred her memories, and she immediately responded, "Grey, is that you?"

"It's me, Sister Lanxiu, I'm back!"

"Who let you come back!"
