"Teacher, teacher, something’s wrong, Ye Fentian has returned."

One of Master Meng Dan’s disciples came rushing in, bringing the news of Ye Qiu’s return.

Upon hearing this, both Master Meng Dan and Master Yuan Dan were taken aback. They truly didn’t expect Ye Qiu to dare show up in public under these circumstances.

"Why panic? So what if he has returned?" Master Meng Dan didn’t seem to care much. Although Jin Zhimo was taken away by the major sects because of his involvement, it wouldn’t be easy for Ye Qiu to settle accounts with him.

"Where is he now?" Master Meng Dan asked.

"He just appeared at Elder Yan’s place, stayed for a moment, and then left."

"Left?" A smile appeared on Master Meng Dan’s face. "It seems he’s also pursuing the major sects."

If that’s the case, it was great news for Master Meng Dan and Master Yuan Dan. Once Ye Qiu appeared before the major sects, it would be like walking into a trap, and the major sects wouldn’t spare him.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tried to use Jin Zhimo as a bargaining chip to lure Ye Qiu out when they couldn’t find him.

"Alright, I understand. You can leave now." Master Meng Dan felt relieved. If Ye Qiu had come directly for him, it would have been troublesome, but since he’s pursuing the major sects, there was no need for much concern, as the major sects would deal with Ye Qiu next.

Master Yuan Dan, however, was a bit uneasy. "Master Meng Dan, Ye Fentian is on par with us as an Alchemist, and it’s said that his martial prowess is equally terrifying. If the major sects fail to kill him, and he escapes to seek revenge on us, we would be in danger."

"Master Yuan Dan’s concerns are valid. In that case, we should gather more people to ensure our safety. This guy he’s desperate and might do something crazy," Master Meng Dan also had some apprehensions in his heart.

"That’s a wise move," Master Yuan Dan said.

If the two of them could invite some powerful allies to protect them for a few days until they confirmed whether Ye Qiu was dead or alive, that would be ideal.

"Let’s hope he never returns, that the major sects keep him," Master Meng Dan said.

......

A groggy mind, light gradually appearing before her eyes.

Jin Zhimo opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she couldn’t move, she was restrained.

Where was this place?

"Oh, you’re awake now."

A voice came from above as Jin Zhimo woke up.

Jin Zhimo strained her eyes to look upward.

In her vision, several figures appeared, all staring at her.

"Young girl, don’t struggle. In our hands, you cannot escape," a voice came.

Looking at these people wearing clothes with various symbols, Jin Zhimo could already guess their identities.

Apparently, she had fallen into the hands of the major sects.

However, one thing puzzled Jin Zhimo: she was clearly in the Pill Tower before, how could the major sects have captured her?

After recalling, she remembered being in a room and unknowingly passing out.

Looking at the current situation, Jin Zhimo vaguely guessed she was betrayed by someone within the Pill Tower who handed her over to the major sects.

Otherwise, the major sects wouldn’t have dared to brazenly enter the Pill Tower to capture people. There was only one possibility: someone inside the Pill Tower wanted to hand her over to the major sects.

The answer became apparent: within the Pill Tower, who else but Master Meng Dan and Master Yuan Dan held animosity towards her?

To think that two esteemed elders of the Pill Tower would act so ruthlessly, so shamelessly, was astounding.

Despite everything, they were disciples of the same sect.

In the end, she had been handed over to the enemy by her own people.

"Haha, you’re quite composed, not making a fuss, a proper captive’s demeanor. No wonder your teacher refused to hand you over."

"Do you know why we sought you out? You hold great value for us."

"Such a pretty girl, it would be a pity to kill her."

The strongmen from the major sects discussed openly as if Jin Zhimo was of no consequence.

Falling into their hands, escape was impossible for Jin Zhimo. Once they reached their destination, they could broadcast her capture and force Ye Qiu to appear.

Opening her eyes and discovering herself in the hands of the major sects, Jin Zhimo’s heart sank. She knew her fate was grim. The major sects, seeking her, had visited multiple times not because of her unique identity, but due to a shared adversary they wanted to eliminate.

Because of their relationship, at least on the surface, they were siblings.

"Teacher, where are you? I hope you don’t save me because of our ties, for it would endanger you," prayed Jin Zhimo. In her heart, besides Elder Yan being her teacher, she regarded Ye Qiu as a teacher as well, even more important than Elder Yan.

The major sects had captured her to force Ye Qiu to come forward, a fact Jin Zhimo understood clearly.

She couldn’t escape; surrounded by the major sects’ strongmen, even without restraint, she couldn’t leave—any of them could capture her.

Jin Zhimo closed her eyes, hoping Ye Qiu would never learn of her capture.

At that moment, a sudden voice echoed around her.

Jin Zhimo’s eyes snapped open.

"Teacher!"

The voice was too familiar—it was Elder Yan’s.

"Return my disciple!"

Elder Yan’s voice resonated between heaven and earth. Ahead, a figure blocked the major sects’ path; it was Elder Yan from the Pill Tower.

Elder Yan stood firm in the void, hair flowing, eyes sharp, fixated on the flying artifact of the major sects.

He had finally caught up before the major sects could return to their base.

Especially seeing Jin Zhimo not far below the major sects’ strongmen, bound by ropes, Elder Yan’s eyes were icy, exuding intense killing intent towards the major sects.

The major sects had gone too far. His disciple had done nothing to warrant this, targeted solely for her association. They ignored who Jin Zhimo’s teacher was, and Elder Yan was rightly furious.

"Oh, it’s you, Master Yan Dan. I advise you to step aside. We mean no harm to you," said one of the powerful figures among them.

"Nonsense! You took my disciple and expect me to step aside? Do you think I’m easy to bully? If you don’t free my disciple today, I will not leave!" declared Elder Yan resolutely.

"Teacher..." Jin Zhimo’s eyes moistened seeing this. Her teacher risked offending the major sects just to save her.

"Courting death!"

An expert suddenly exuded an astonishing aura, unwilling to negotiate further, and attacked Elder Yan directly.
