Three days before the end of rebirth

Taking off the bamboo hat, Li Ruping stood up suddenly.

"Han Dang? Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Han Dang smiled lightly.

Li Ruping calmed down and looked Han Dang up and down.

He was dusty, his face was pale, and he looked like he was seriously injured. In addition, he was wearing a bamboo hat and dared not show his true face. Does this mean that Han Dang was guilty?

"Are you not important? Now that you see me doing well, are you disappointed?" Li Ruping sneered, "I have someone to surround him. I can't let him escape."

Li Ruping gave an order, and a group of outer disciples surrounded Han Dang with cheers.

Han Dang did not run away, but looked at Li Ruping with interest.

"I really didn't expect you to break the seal so quickly, but do you think you can stop me with just these people?"

Li Ruping sneered, "They may only be able to stop you once, but this time is enough for me to capture you. If you just surrender, I might consider sparing your life."

"What if I don't?"

"I don't believe you can regain your strength in a few days, so you will know if you are lying or not."

"Really? Then I'll be waiting for you."

"Suffer death." Li Ruping didn't want to talk nonsense with Han anymore, and raised her hand to take out her magic weapon. But the next moment, her body's true energy was suddenly drained, and a gloating voice came from behind.

"Li Ruping, you dare to attack the master? This is a capital crime for you."

"You...are you a fire demon?"

Li Ruping couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Standing not far behind Li Ruping, the outer disciple guarding the door raised his hand and took off his human skin mask, revealing the face of the fire demon.

"Isn't it a surprise?"

The fire demon walked towards Li Ruping step by step.

All the outer disciples panicked. They didn't know Han Dang and dared to attack Han Dang under Li Ruping's order.

But the Fire Refining Demon and the others knew the leader of the first peak, a master of the fifth level of Qi Refining. Even if they were together, they would not be a match for the Fire Refining Demon.

At this moment, a group of outer sect disciples dropped their weapons one after another and began to flee in all directions without the threat of the fire demon. In the blink of an eye, only three people were left in the training ground.

"Master, Tianyin Water Gate Seal, the property returns to its original owner."

The fire-refining demon took the Tianyin Water Gate Seal from Li Ruping's hand and handed it to Han Dang respectfully.

"That's mine, give it back to me."

Li Ruping was shocked. This magic weapon was now her own. If it was damaged or taken away, her strength would be greatly reduced. She would not use it unless she had to.

"Bah, yours? It's shameless. When the master gave it to you, you showed it off everywhere. Now it's just returned to the original owner." The fire-refining demon turned around and spat at Li Ruping.

Li Ruping was furious and looked at Han Dang bitterly.

"Han Dang, don't be too proud. With so many disciples, someone must report it. The ancestor will be here soon. If you let me go now and return the magic weapon to me, I can consider putting in a good word for you."

"I won't believe your words anymore, Fire Demon, just tie him up."

The fire-refining demon tied up Li Ruping. There were disciples over there who had gone to report. They heard that the fire-refining demon had brought people back to cause trouble and had tied up Li Ruping. Li Qichun immediately understood what was going on.

"Deacon Wu, there is something going on within the sect. Please wait a moment, I will be back soon."

"We may be one family from now on. Your family's affairs are also Five Elements Valley's affairs. Why don't we take a look at them together." Deacon Wu also stood up.

Li Qichun wanted to say a few more words, but that would inevitably make people more suspicious, so he simply agreed and the two of them quickly ran to the martial arts field.

When the two arrived at the martial arts arena, Li Ruping seemed to see the savior and started shouting for help.

"Master, save me."

Li Qichun glared at Li Ruping fiercely and winked at the other party.

Li Ruping naturally knew that Li Qichun was warning her not to talk too much, so she could only swallow her grievances.

Seeing Li Ruping calm down, Li Qichun glared at the Fire Demon.

"Fire Refining Demon, as the leader of the small sect's peak, you dare to openly tie up a fellow sect member. Do you know what kind of crime this is in the sect?"

The fire demon gave Li Qichun a roll of his eyes.

"I am not from a small sect now, so you can keep your set of rules and carry them into the coffin yourself."

"Hmph, you are openly betraying, and you dare to speak arrogant words. When I catch you, I will tear you apart and throw you into the sect's death row, where you will not be able to survive or die."

Li Qichun spoke harshly, and Deacon Wu frowned as he listened. At the same time, he thought to himself, does Li Qichun have the ability? How come he just talks but doesn't practice?

After Li Qichun scolded the fire demon, his expression softened a lot, and he looked at Han Dang and said, "Fellow Taoist, we have no grudges before, and my small sect has always convinced people with virtue. If you are willing to join my sect, you will be treated well."

Everything is favorable, what do you think?"

Han Dang was not a fool. Watching Li Qichun act in front of the deacon of Five Elements Valley, he naturally knew what the other party was planning, but it just so happened that he didn't want to be exposed either.

However, regarding Li Qichun's hypocritical benevolence, his approach was more direct, directly letting go of the suppression of the soul chain, and his aura was also rising rapidly.

Soon, the temperament of the ostensibly refining period changed to the early stage of foundation building, and then to the middle stage of foundation building. The momentum continued to rise and stopped at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

Deacon Wu himself is an outside deacon. It's okay to talk and talk, but not when it comes to action. He is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Under Han Dang's momentum, his mouth feels dry and his heart beats faster.

I don't want to stay here for even a minute.

Looking at Li Qichun's face, he didn't look good either. He felt even more unsafe here, so he turned around and left.

"Mr. Li, please take care of your family affairs first, and we will see you later."

The battles of the previous two days were still vivid in his mind. Now seeing Han Dang's momentum rising to a higher level, Li Qichun panicked, but he soon calmed down.

A few days ago, Han Dang wanted to seal his and Li Ruping's cultivation, but he fainted in the middle of the process. If the fire refining demon hadn't rescued him, Han Dang would be a dead man now.

Thinking of this, Li Qichun returned to normal.

"Han Dang, I, Li Qichun, am not scared. Your situation won't last long. If you know what's going on, you should admit defeat immediately, otherwise I won't show mercy when I take action."

"Then let's try it."

Han Dang sneered and took a step forward.

Li Qichun subconsciously took a step back and took out his protective magic weapon. Suddenly a stream of light flashed across his body, and a piece of looming clothing appeared outside Li Qichun's coat.

After doing all this, Li Qichun showed a triumphant smile.

"Tian Shui Robe, my protective magical weapon. With this magical weapon here, no matter how strong you are, Han Dang, as long as you hold on until your strength drops, you will die."
