    This life of you and me ends here

    Seeing Wan Qiongju anxious and angry, Bai Chengying laughed unconsciously. He was so excited at this moment. He grabbed Qiu Yin’an’s hair, lowered his head and bit down hard on Qiu Yin’an’s Adam’s apple. In front of Wan Qiongju, with provocative eyes, he tasted the warmth on Qiu Yin’an’s neck.

    A muffled groan escaped Qiu Yin’an’s throat. Wan Qiongju’s voice made his originally scattered consciousness clear up a little. He could feel how disgusting Bai Chengying’s teeth marks on his neck were. He used all his strength to punch Bai Chengying’s lifeline.

    Bai Chengying screamed in pain and suddenly pushed Qiu Yin’an to the side.

    Before Qiu Yin’an fell to the cold ground again, Wan Qiongju rushed over and held him firmly.

    The moment Qiu Yin’an fell into Wan Qiongju’s arms, the tense muscles all over his body became loose. He gasped and asked, “Why haven’t you elders come back yet?”

    “It’s coming, it’s coming.” Wan Qiongju’s arm holding Qiu Yin’an was trembling, “I’m afraid that Linghu knew that Bai Chengying was leading the attack, and deliberately delayed the time. He also called Changchuan to ask for help, and waited.”

    Qiu Yin’an leaned in Wan Qiongju’s warm arms and looked up at Wan Qiongju’s face, which was flickering in and out. He reached out with difficulty to summon the soul-protecting lamp, “I can’t protect you anymore. You have to live on your own, even if you seek refuge with a witch cultivator.”

    Bai Chengying’s two swords were so powerful that Qiu Yin’an felt that his body was powerless. There was no big deal before life and death. It seemed that it didn’t matter whether it was sealing the demon clan, eradicating the witch cultivators, or continuing the glory of Qingxuan Peak for hundreds of years. As long as Wan Qiongju could have a way to survive, it was better than anything else.

    “You can, you can, I won’t surrender.” Wan Qiongju pulled a few strips of cloth from his inner robe and tried to wrap it around Qiu Yin’an’s wounds, but when he tied the knot, his hands refused to obey him and trembled, but he couldn’t tie it.

    Wan Qiongju’s tears kept pouring out, and his lips trembled, “You will definitely be fine. You have deep cultivation, so you will be fine.”

    I don’t know if these words are comforting Qiu Yin’an or coaxing himself.

    “Don’t shake, don’t shake your hands.” Wan Qiongju told him.

    Wan Qiongju has never seen Qiu Yin’an like this. In his mind, Qiu Yin’an always has a straight back and two swords in his hands. His majesty can intimidate everyone. Even if he is at a disadvantage, he will never show any embarrassment.

    But it was such a person, now covered in blood, leaning on his arms, and even his breathing was so fragile, Wan Qiongju’s heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces.

    Jian Fan summoned the witch flag and stood in front of the two of them, “You go first, I will stop behind. There are too many of them. It will take some time for Changchuan to bring people over.”

    Someone behind Bai Chengying said: “Hey, I see why the relationship between this witch cultivator and Qingxuan Peak is unusual.”

    “Yes, this witch cultivator actually has the posture to protect them.”

    “I knew how Chenliang could die so easily.” The crowd started talking, “It turns out Lord Qiu is also colluding with the shaman cultivator.”

    Qiu Yin was lying in Wan Qiongju’s arms, unable to explain. She didn’t expect that she would have such a reputation.

    Bai Chengying had recovered from the pain. He straightened up and raised his voice to incite: “Everyone, Wan Qiongju, a disciple of Qiu Yin’an’s sect, has long been colluding with the witch cultivators. If they are allowed to leave alive today, they will definitely regroup and avenge today. How can you live in peace by then?”

    “Master is definitely not clear about this apprentice’s collusion with witch cultivators. Today, by removing them, we are eliminating harm to the world of cultivators.”

    “Yes, anyone involved with witch cultivators is betraying the world of cultivation and should be killed.”

    When this group of people saw that one of the witch cultivators was alone, their morale increased greatly. If a group of witch cultivators couldn’t defeat them, they couldn’t get rid of this one.

    Qiu Yin’an lay in Wan Qiongju’s arms and blinked slowly, feeling ridiculous. Why did these people conclude that he was colluding with the witch cultivator in just a few words?

    But after thinking about it, he seemed to understand again. Even if he had the strength to stand up and explain now, it might not be useful. They would make themselves known for colluding with the witch cultivators, in order to seize the martial arts books, in order to carve up the spiritual artifacts of Jiuling Mountain, in order to make everything they do just and awe-inspiring.

    Qiu Yin’an recalled that when she was joking with Yao Ye, she had said that if Yao Ye didn’t practice well, he would not be able to keep such a large family fortune. When his sister gets married, everyone will want to rob her, and he will be the first one to go up the mountain to rob her.

    But who could have imagined that Yao Ye’s family fortune would now be lost in his own hands.

    I can’t keep it.

    Suddenly, Qiu Yin’an and the others were surrounded by people. He was bleeding so much that he could no longer see the faces of those people clearly, but he could feel the killing intent emanating from them.

    Bai Chengying pointed his sword at Wan Qiongju, “You run away, take Qiu Yin’an and run away. Let me see where you can run away to?”

    His face became like a ghost under the candlelight, and the resentment in his eyes was like a python coming out of its hole to devour people. He told his unwillingness, “Wan Qiongju, if it weren’t for you, how could Qiu Yin’an and I be together?”Sooner or later, I will accompany him to regain the position of Lord, accompany him to seal the demon clan, accompany him to be promoted to the Holy Lord, and wait for his ascension to become an immortal. We should have a glorious future, but your appearance ruined both of us.”

    Bai Chengying became more and more excited as he spoke, “My master once said that Qiu Yin’an is destined to be a calamity. If I can pass this level, my path of cultivation will no longer be difficult. Obviously, he and I have always been good, he has always respected me, and I love him. It’s you. Your appearance has changed everything. I will make you cut into pieces, and I will make Qiu Yin’an mine. Even if he turns into a corpse, it must be mine.”

    Wan Qiongju wiped away her tears and looked at Bai Chengying with a chilling cold gaze, “Bai Chengying, as long as I am here, he will not belong to you, never.”

    Surrounded by so many masters, it would be difficult for Wan Qiongju to break out with him, or to put it cruelly, it would be impossible.

    Qiu Yin’an had to make a choice, whether he should die or Wan Qiongju should die with him.

    Originally, Qiu Yin’an still thought that when Yao Ye was found and life became more stable, he and Wan Qiongju would wear bright red wedding clothes, go to the church to get married, and tell everyone in the cultivation world that he and Wan Qiongju were married.

    Just tonight, before he and Wan Qiongju went down the mountain to enjoy the lanterns, they had just gotten rid of the rule that the master could not practice dual cultivation with his disciples. All the good things had just begun, but they had already become a fantasy. He could no longer see Wan Qiongju in her wedding clothes.

    Qiu Yin’an raised his hand and gently hooked Wan Qiongju’s front, “Xiao Wan, let Jian Fan take you away.”

    As soon as he said this, Qiu Yin’an’s eyes were filled with tears. He knew how cruel the words he said next were, but he didn’t have much strength anymore. Even though his heart hurt like being cut out by a knife, he still had to persuade Wan Qiongju to give up on him as soon as possible.

    “Don’t be reluctant to leave me. Our fate ends here in this life. You will meet someone you like in the future.”

    “Without you, there will be no future.” Wan Qiongju hugged Qiu Yin’an, stroked his messy hair, and coaxed softly in his ear, “Don’t talk, have a good rest. Wait for me for a while. After I finish dealing with them, we will go heal.”

    Qiu Yin’an’s breath was weak, “Don’t be stubborn, please let me feel more at ease on the road to Huangquan.”

    “You won’t go to that kind of place.” Wan Qiongju’s eyes were red and tears had flowed out. His eyes were no longer just useless sadness, but determination to win a way out for Qiu Yin’an.

    “Jian Fan, give me my flag.” Wan Qiongju raised his hand and stretched out to Jian Fan.

    Jian Fan was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment and said: “But you haven’t fully recovered your magic power yet, and you have rashly consumed too much spiritual power. I’m afraid-”

    Wan Qiongju said firmly, “Stop talking nonsense, you just need to help me take care of him.”

    Qiu Yin’an didn’t know what riddle the two were playing. He was like a newborn kitten, without any ability to resist. He was sent into Jian Fan’s arms by Wan Qiongju. His vision was slightly blurred. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wan Qiongju holding a witch flag in his hand.

    This flag is different from the others. There is a white ring on the top of the flagpole and a black ring on the bottom. The two rings, black and white, are called the Qiankun Ring.

    As soon as this flag came out, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, because the owner of this flag was the great witch master who was once powerful in the world.

    The last image in Qiu Yin’an’s eyes was Wan Qiongju holding the flag. He closed his eyes before he could feel any emotions.
