Qing Ling also laughed. "When we return to the Six Realms, I will bring you back to the sect. When that time comes, we will have a good talk with our fellow sect members."

I smiled as I agreed. However, I felt a little regretful in my heart. I wonder if my old friends would still be here when I return? Some had already ascended to become immortals, some had already gone out to travel, and some had even reincarnated.

However, now was not the time to lament over such matters. Qing Ling had already kept her sword and headed towards the Tower of Holy Light. I hastily lifted my skirt to keep up with her.

However, at this time, Qing Ling let out a soft "eh?" and muttered: "Eh? Why is there no one guarding the Holy Tower today?"

The Tower of Saint was an important place in the Evergreen Sect, holding countless demons within. Although this place was an illusion, from Qing Ling's expression, it should be similar to the real world. In other words, everything in this place followed the rules of the real world. Then, the Tower of Holy Light should be strictly guarded.

However, at this time, we actually saw some disciples of the Evergreen Sect at the entrance of the Tower. However, at this time, we actually saw some disciples of the Evergreen Sect at the entrance of the Tower.

Separated by a tranquil river, Qing Ling and I simultaneously discovered that the vicinity of the Saint Pagoda was a little strange. In our memories, the Sacred Tower is always heavily guarded. The disciples of the various halls of the Evergreen Sect guard this important place on a daily basis, but at this moment, we can't see anyone within our line of sight.

"Something doesn't seem right." I grabbed onto Qing Ling's sleeve and whispered, "Why is it so quiet here?"

Although the Evergreen Sect is filled with cultivators and cultivators are usually quiet, there are a lot of young disciples in the sect, so in my opinion, the Evergreen Sect is still quite lively.

Could it be that after hundreds of years, the disciples of the Evergreen Sect had aged and did not like to play around?

I thought back to the days when I fought with Senior Ruan and the rest over monsters. At that time, Xiao Yu and I would follow them around everyday and cause trouble.

Qing Ling noticed this as well, so she settled me by the river. "Wait here for me, I'll go check the vicinity of the pagoda."

I hastily asked, "Do you not want me to go with you?"

He said, "Things seem to be a bit strange, so I'm afraid there might be danger. Don't come over yet."

I immediately puffed out my chest and thought, now that I am married to him, how can I let him take the risk alone? Thus, I tugged on his sleeve and said sonorously, "If there are difficulties, then we shall share them. How can I abandon you?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by that detestable Wu Xie. He coldly snorted in my mind, "You're a burden if you stay by his side. If something happens, he'll have to split his concentration to take care of you. You should know your own name …"

I gave a little wince and let go of my hand.

That's right, my mana is so weak right now, it's probably even weaker than when I was cultivating in the Evergreen Sect. Being by Qing Ling's side is indeed a burden.

Qing Ling patted the back of my hand in consolation. "Ah Cai, stay by the river and watch the wind for me. I'm here to sneak back to my sect. I don't want to alarm the rest of the people in my sect. Because I was taking it out without asking, I will inevitably have some conflicts with the disciples of the Sect later on. Help me keep watch here and make it easier for me to take action. "

So he had this plan. I obediently nodded my head and crouched down in the bushes beside me.

Of course, I also know that Qing Ling only said that to comfort me, but it didn't matter anymore.

Qing Ling stopped controlling his sword and crossed the river using wind. His posture was very light and his body was pressed down extremely fast. He was like a bird flying across the river. As I watched on, I couldn't help but secretly cheer.

Qing Ling quickly approached the Tower of Saints. He hesitated in front of the tower, and then continued forward. I looked around cautiously. It was so quiet that no one showed up to stop him. However, just as Qing Ling was about to approach the door to the first floor of the Tower of Saint's, a loud and terrifying sound suddenly came from behind me: "Wu …"

It was like the howl of some low-level beast, shrill and cruel, which startled me.

Tsui Ling's footsteps halted as she cast a doubtful glance at me.

I immediately jumped up and quickly climbed to the nearest tree to check on the situation in the forest.

I was a little puzzled, this was the heart of the Evergreen Sect, how could there be wild beasts that roamed about at such a close distance? One must know that many cultivators of the Evergreen Sect loved to tame demon beasts, and this mountain was filled with things like zombies. Therefore, normal wild beasts didn't dare to approach this place, not to mention the fact that it was broad daylight.

I'm a beast myself, so I know a bit of the language of beasts. It sounds to me like a hyena that has found food and is happily calling its family to lunch, and they seem to be having a good lunch today.

The hyenas were a nuisance. Not only did they eat living creatures, but they also ate rotting meat. They were a type of insatiable animal. However, there shouldn't be a large amount of fresh game in the territory of the Evergreen Sect for them to hunt. In that case, were they looking for rotten meat?

As a fox, agility was a must. I reached the top of the tree with a few clicks and peered down into the forest. The scene before me almost scared me to the point that I almost fell off the tree. In the middle of the forest, less than a hundred meters ahead of me, there was actually a dead person lying on the ground! The man was wearing the clothes of the Evergreen sect, and from the looks of it, he was already dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the hyenas to bite his body.

A dozen or so hyenas crowded around the dead man, and the lead one was already tearing at his clothes, and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. At least he was one of my own kind, perhaps a few hundred years younger than me, but now that his body was being ravaged, I was still furious!

I slid off the tree trunk, picked up a rock, and ran at the dead man. At the same time, I shouted, "Bastard, get out of my way!"

"Awoo …"

The stone hit the lead hyena in the middle. It let out a few screams of pain, then it judged its opponent's strength and fled with its people.

I rushed over to the dead man, and the stench of rotting flesh assaulted my nostrils. With a strong heart, I squatted down to examine him and found that it was a disciple of the Intense Flaming Hall. He was dressed in the attire of the Intense Flaming Hall, and his entire body was covered in blood. His eyes were wide open, and his face was contorted, as if he had seen something terrible before he died, and he had died with his eyes still open.

The smell of the body made my stomach hurt, and the fear on the dead man's face was even more frightening. This was obviously an important place to the headquarters of the Evergreen Sect, so why would a disciple fall by the side of the road? Besides, it looked like he had been dead for a few days.

I summoned up my courage and tried to pull the weapon tightly held in the dead man's hand. It was an ordinary longsword, and I wanted to confirm the identity of this disciple. The weapons of the Evergreen Sect disciples usually had their respective identification marks engraved on them.
