Watching her daughter’s back, Yao Yufei silently thought: This Chu Xuan is indeed a problem. It seems Qingqing truly values him somewhat; I must suppress him in advance to prevent future trouble.

Therefore, just as Qingqing was about to step out of the main hall, Yao Yufei said lightly, "You said Li Chengfeng is a weakling, I think this Chu Xuan is no better."

"You resent Li Chengfeng simply because he refused to save you, right? How can Chu Xuan be any better? They’re the same kind, perhaps even worse."

"Shut up!" Qingqing suddenly turned around, furious.

"Chu Xuan has no idea about this situation. If he knew, he would definitely come to rescue me."

"Oh?" Yao Yufei sneered. "Shall I send someone to inform him, see if he’d storm the Li’an Demon Sect for you?"

"Mind your own business." Qingqing ignored her, quickly and angrily threw that sentence before flying away using Sword Control.

...

Once back in her little room in the Scripture Pavilion, Qingqing threw herself onto the soft bed, hugged the pillow, and curled up.

Originally, she had reluctantly accepted separating from Chu Xuan, but that woman brought it up again, leaving her troubled and anxious.

Chu Xuan, if he knew her situation, he would come to save her, wouldn’t he?

Qingqing wholeheartedly believed this, but Yao Yufei’s words seemed to tear open a rift in her heart.

With the unclear relationship between them, at most only friends, would Chu Xuan really confront the entire Li’an Demon Sect for her?

Moreover, after emerging from the secret realm, Qingqing had noticed that Chu Xuan and Gu Haitang’s relationship had grown much closer, holding hands and chatting happily.

Would he truly remember her...

Thinking of this, Qingqing’s heart ached deeply, more painful than when swallowed by the demon fetus.

...

Chu Xuan hurried through day and night without rest, finally reaching the gate of Li’an Demon Sect by midnight.

The sect was located within one of the thirty-six Grotto Heavens, "You God’s Void Heaven," spanning three thousand miles, abundant with Spiritual Qi, surrounded by towering mountains.

Looking over in the night, Chu Xuan saw palaces gathered on the main peak, guarded tightly, clearly difficult to infiltrate.

Apart from other things, the outermost layer had a Mountain Protection Array; breaking in would immediately alert the sect.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was cloaked by the old ghost’s spell, concealing his form. In recent days, he kept thinking and realized he must inform the old ghost.

After all, solely relying on himself to infiltrate the Demon Sect to rescue Qingqing was akin to ascending to heaven.

After some communication between them, the Master of the Ghost Market’s tone turned peculiar, "Why are you so determined to do this? Is that person very important to you?"

"Stop questioning, just tell me what to do."

The old ghost thought for a moment, "You’re lucky to have met me. I had cooperated with the previous Sect Leader of Li’an Demon Sect, was a regular visitor here, quite familiar with the arrays and layout."

"Of course, to slip in unnoticed, you still need this banner; otherwise, even if your cultivation matches mine, it’s impossible."

"By the way, what do you call this banner?"

"Soul Banner," Chu Xuan casually named it, actually quite close to the truth, but the old ghost didn’t believe it.

"Alright, today I’ll fully assist you; just remember your promise to me."

"First, release the Divine Sense suppression on me. I’ll observe the array’s operation, and you follow my instructions."

Chu Xuan agreed, releasing his Divine Sense without any risk, even if it reached the seventh level.

Next, like a wandering spirit, Chu Xuan followed the old ghost’s guidance, silently flying around the mountain, searching for minute loopholes in the array’s operation.

Elsewhere, despite his completely hidden form, his image was still clear on the water mirror in the Wuyou Valley Grotto Heaven.

Ji Mingyu saw Chu Xuan truly planning to infiltrate Li’an Demon Sect alone, her gaze growing colder, hinting at anger.

The little snow ferret understood the extreme danger of Chu Xuan’s mission, feeling uneasy.

Eventually, it couldn’t resist asking timidly, "Master, are you going to save him?"

Ji Mingyu responded indifferently, "If he truly dies in the Demon Sect, it’s his own misfortune, overestimating himself; if not dying here today, he will die somewhere else tomorrow. Shall I save him every day?"

"If I were to do so, I wouldn’t have driven him down the mountain from the start."

The little snow ferret fell silent, yet faintly speculated something from her last words.

...

Chu Xuan flew for half an hour this way, his head almost spinning, when the old ghost finally guided him, "Stop, ten breaths later, three feet above to the right, the sky’s clouds will part slightly, allowing moonlight through."

"At the same moment, wrap yourself with the Soul Banner and enter from this point, remember, don’t use any Magical Power."

Chu Xuan memorized it, and sure enough, ten breaths later, a beam of moonlight shone through the night sky. He first transformed himself into a green snake, then wrapped the snake’s body with the Six Souls Banner.

Thinking back, when the banner broke the Langhuan Grotto Heaven’s array, it took only a few breaths; now, without using Magical Power, the Six Souls Banner used gravity alone to pierce the moonlit array.

Easily entering without triggering the array’s reaction.

A soul banner fell silently onto a tree, barely noticeable.

Chu Xuan paused deliberately, ensuring no one noticed, before re-transforming into human form, retracting the Six Souls Banner, and under the old ghost’s spell, drifted towards the mountain like a specter.

Chu Xuan didn’t know where Qingqing resided and had never asked before, so he needed to capture someone alive for interrogation.

According to the old ghost, rescuing someone required discretion and cooperation from the other party; alarming them meant a deadly situation.
