Qiu Yihan tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, the scene of her father's training room would appear in front of her. Bright red blood and white bones covered the ground. These young men who had lost their lives in vain were captured by her inhumanely and brought to the White Bone Cult. A heavy sense of guilt pressed down on her and she could not breathe. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the crescent moon shining through the bamboo window. She silently prayed for the dead souls, hoping that they would have a good journey. At the same time, she was also repenting to the moon, hoping that God would forgive her for what she had no choice but to do. After a long while, she let out a sigh of relief and let the bright moonlight shine on her beautiful face, illuminating her cold heart. The moonlight was as warm as a mother's embrace, making her feel comfortable and carefree.

As the night grew darker, Qiu Yihan's eyes started to dry up. However, she did not dare to close her eyes. Her father's words tonight were like a ghost that haunted her. She did not want to practice any strange martial arts. She did not want to help the wicked do evil. She did not want to let the demonic sect in the eyes of the world continue to flourish. She only wanted a warm family and a normal life. However, this small wish was so difficult to realize in this small space. For the past fifteen years, she had no childhood and no dreams. Everything was controlled by her father, who had a frosty expression. Murder and arson were the only ways for her father to test her growth. When she saw corpses everywhere, her father would happily reward her with a sword or a martial arts manual. However, this was not the life she wanted at all. A flowery dress and a box of cosmetic powder were what she wanted most. In this hellish family, she didn't have the gentleness of a young girl. Her smile was also restricted by her father. Every day, she could only practice all kinds of peerless poison techniques in a wooden state. She had long hated this kind of life, but unfortunately, she was still young and didn't have the ability to escape from her father's evil clutches. Now that she was an adult, she had the ability to plan for her future. In order to live a normal life one day, she began to plan how to escape from the White Bone Cult...

Someone knocked on the door and Qiu Yihan opened her eyes reluctantly. She stretched and said lazily,""Who is it?"

"Eldest Young Miss, Cult Master wants you and Second Young Miss to go down the mountain to purchase some things!”A sinister voice rang out from outside the room. One could tell that it was Chou Wudi.

Qiu Yihan was very puzzled. In the past, the things needed by the sect would be purchased by the left and right guardians, but why did the sect master want them to go today? Could it be that there was some conspiracy?

"Right Protector, do you know what the Cult Master wants us to purchase?”

"Young miss, the once every three years Demon Realm New Heroes Assembly will be held at the top of Taibai Mountain in a few days. Cult Master wants you to go down the mountain to buy some good food and wine to entertain his old friends!”

"Got it!" Qiu Yihan replied and slowly got up from the bed. Due to the recent self-blame and panic, she had actually forgotten the date of the Demon Cult Meeting.

The New Hero Assembly of the Demon World was held once every three years, and the venue was decided by the leaders of the five major demonic sects. Speaking of the five major demonic sects in Jianghu, they were the Evil Dragon Hall of the East Sea, the Sassoon Sect of the West, the Ice Palace of the North, the Blood Wind Hall of the South, and the White Bone Cult of Guanzhong. The purpose of the Demon World New Heroes Assembly was to select new people from the Demon World. It was also an opportunity for everyone to compare notes on martial arts and an excellent opportunity to show off the various factions. The last grand meeting was held on a small island in the South China Sea. This time, it was held on Mount Tai because of Leng Feihu's invitation. He wanted to use this grand meeting to fulfill one of his life wishes, which was to see what the Thousand Face Changing Yang Xiaoyu looked like in his lifetime. Everyone in the martial arts world knew about this man, but no one knew whether he was a man or a woman, old or young. Some said that he was a beautiful woman, some said that he was a handsome youth, and some even said that he was a 70-year-old man. It could be said that there were different opinions. Regarding this secret, all the capable people in Jianghu were very curious, and Leng Feihu was no exception. He planned to see the true face of Qian Bianlian at this event.

After Qiu Yihan finished washing up, she picked up her Jade Spirit Divine Sword and walked out of the house. She saw Leng Qingxiang in the distance and when she saw her sister coming over, she shouted angrily,""Why are you so slow!" After saying that, he strode out of the courtyard. Qiu Yihan did not make any noise as she followed behind them with her sword in hand. There were already disciples waiting outside the sect. They had brought Qiu Yihan and her sister two fat and strong horses. Leng Qingxiang jumped onto a red horse and raised the whip in her hand as she galloped down the steep path. Qiu Yihan also mounted his horse and pressed his legs against the horse's belly. He urged his big white horse to gallop down the mountain.

Leng Qing Xiang was sprinting ahead. Even though the path was rugged and steep, she was so bold that she did not have the slightest bit of fear. Qiu Yihan was so scared that she did not dare to open her eyes. This was the first time she was riding a horse on such a steep path. As they were very fast, they arrived at the nearest town before breakfast time. It was still early, so there weren't many people in the town. Qiu Yihan came to a relatively decent wine shop and asked the shopkeeper for five jars of good Nu 'er Hong. After negotiating the price, he asked the shopkeeper to send the wine to the top of Taibai Mountain. When the shopkeeper heard that they were going to the top of Taibai Mountain, his face turned green. He had heard rumors that the White Bone Cult's leader was a man-eating demon. He couldn't go to his death no matter what. However, he had no choice. The cold and fragrant dagger was already at his waist."Are you going?"

"Go, go!" The shopkeeper's entire body trembled as he replied with a trembling voice. He hurriedly ordered people to prepare a carriage, loaded it with wine, and followed behind Leng Qingxiang and the others to Mount Taibai.

Because the shopkeeper was afraid, he drove the carriage very slowly. They only arrived at the foot of the mountain when it was almost noon. Leng Qingxiang scolded the shopkeeper unhappily and asked him to hurry up. Because of the large size of the carriage, they could not take the road down the mountain. They could only take the main road. Although the main road was easy to walk, the distance was much longer. In order to hurry back, Qiu Yihan and her sister whipped their horses and sprinted. The shopkeeper who followed behind quickly waved the whip in his hand and galloped forward. He was afraid that he would provoke Leng Qingxiang again and be beaten up. Halfway up the mountain, they heard the sound of water flowing. Leng Qingxiang suddenly turned around and forced out a smile. She turned around and looked at Qiu Yihan,""Sister, why don't we take a bath in the hot spring before going back? Perhaps my mood will be better after taking a bath!”

Qiu Yihan looked at her younger sister in surprise. She had not paid any attention to her for almost half a month, and now that she had called her sister, Yihan was overjoyed. Seeing that it was still early, she smiled and agreed to her younger sister's suggestion. Perhaps this was a good opportunity for them to ease the tension between them.

Leng Qingxiang asked the shopkeeper to leave first, saying that they would catch up in a while. The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything and drove the carriage slowly up the mountain. Qiu Yihan and Leng Qingxiang jumped off their horses and happily came to the cypress forest by the roadside. They passed through the forest and saw the hot spring that was still steaming. The water from the hot spring flowed into the small ditch in the cypress forest and watered the lush trees.

Leng Qingxiang giggled as she took off her outer clothes. Then, she slowly took off her purple bra. Her white and translucent body was charming under the sun.

"Sister, come quickly!" Leng Qingxiang jumped into the hot spring, and the water on her shoulder was extremely warm. She closed her eyes comfortably.

Qiu Yihan looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she shyly took off her coat, revealing her pink embroidered bra. She lifted her legs and prepared to enter the water. Leng Qingxiang suddenly shouted," Sister, what are you doing? Why didn't you take off your clothes when you were showering? Are you afraid that your sister will peek?!"”

Qiu Yihan smiled awkwardly. She used to bathe here with her sister, so why would she be afraid of her sister peeking at them? It was just that it was broad daylight now, so she was afraid that there would be hunters passing by. Since her younger sister wanted her to take it off, she would take it off. She did not want to make her younger sister unhappy again.

Qiu Yihan slowly took off her bra and covered her chest with her hands before diving into the water. Her smooth shoulders glistened under the sunlight, and her black hair cascaded like a waterfall on the water. The two sisters were playing in the water as usual. Suddenly, Leng Qingxiang said that she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the forest to relieve herself. Qiu Yihan smiled and agreed. Leng Qingxiang came ashore and quickly put on her clothes. While Qiu Yihan closed her eyes to rest, she secretly grabbed her clothes and quickly disappeared into the forest. Leng Qingxiang ran out of the forest and led the good horse that was tied to a cypress tree. She jumped onto the horse's back and sneered,"My good sister, enjoy yourself here!”After saying that, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and sped away.

Qiu Yihan waited for a long time, but Qing Xiang still did not return. She was so anxious that she thought that something had happened to Qing Xiang and was about to go ashore to look for her. However, when she looked up and saw that her clothes were gone, she realized that Qing Xiang was scheming against her. Now that she was naked, she could not go out of the water no matter what. This way, Qing Xiang could take the things she had bought to her father and claim credit for it. At the same time, she could report her to her father. Wouldn't she be finished? Qiu Yihan hit her head in frustration. How could she be so stupid to believe that her sister would forgive her so easily?

The sun was so bright that Qiu Yihan couldn't open her eyes. She could only close her eyes and calm her heart. Only when it was dark would she be able to come out of the water. Then, she could use some leaves to cover her face and sneak back.

Just as Qiu Yihan had expected, Leng Qingxiang had returned to the White Bone Cult. She had received a reward from her father and had even complained to her sister, saying that Qiu Yihan was too playful and had forgotten about the important matters. She had returned early after purchasing the items that she had not been able to find her.

Leng Feihu was very angry after hearing Leng Qingxiang's words. This was the first time he had asked Qiu Yihan to go down the mountain to do something. He did not expect her to go out and play.

"Left and right guardians, lock the young miss in the dungeon after she comes back. Don't let her out without my orders!”Leng Feihu shouted coldly.

The left and right guardians looked at each other and said,"Yes, sir!" However, they were muttering in their hearts. Eldest Miss had always been serious in her work and would not be like what Second Miss said. Could it be that Second Miss was deliberately speaking ill of Eldest Miss? Then where was Eldest Miss now? Would there be any danger? Thinking of this, the two of them became restless. They wanted to go down the mountain to find Qiu Yihan, but the Sect Master wanted them to accompany him to the top of the mountain to see if the stage for the grand gathering was ready. The Left and Right Guardians had no reason to reject the Sect Leader's orders, so they could only leave Qiu Yihan's safety aside and follow the Sect Leader to the top of the mountain.

Qiu Yihan stayed in the hot spring and waited until it was dark. She slowly went ashore and came to the cypress forest. She picked a lot of leaves and branches and some weeds on the ground. She put these things together and weaved them into a tree branch vest and a short skirt. Qiu Yihan was very satisfied with the finished 'cloth'. She slowly put on the strange outfit and walked out of the forest. Fortunately, Leng Qingxiang did not lead her horse away. She got on the horse and rode up the mountain with her whip. When she was about to reach the top of the mountain, she saw the carriage that had delivered the wine in the afternoon. She reined in the reins and got off the horse. She saw the shopkeeper lying on the shaft of the carriage. He was already dead. There was a deep strangulation mark on his neck. This strangulation mark was very special. One look and one could tell that it was made by the fragrant whip of the Fire Phoenix. Qiu Yihan felt a wave of sadness in her heart. Her cute little sister had become so ruthless. She was not even willing to let go of such an innocent peddler. She was becoming more and more like her father. Qiu Yihan was about to mount her horse when she suddenly saw the blue robe on the shopkeeper. She thought that since he was already dead, clothes were useless. Moreover, she needed a set of clothes now. Why not take it off and put it on herself? It was much better than this tree branch robe. After thinking it through, Qiu Yihan stepped forward and took off the shopkeeper's clothes, putting them over the tree branch clothes. She tidied up her loose robe, mounted her horse, and rode towards the top of the mountain.
