Just when the girl was about to despair, the boy suddenly appeared out of the crowd, dragged the girl, and ran away without saying a word!

At this moment, everyone was shocked. In the past, no one would doubt the boy’s loyalty to the righteous path, because he had also killed people from the devil dao many times. But this time, why would he save a devil dao girl?

They didn’t understand why, but in fact, even the young man himself didn’t understand why he did this.

He only knew that he didn’t want to watch the girl die tragically, and he didn’t want to watch the girl who had been entangled with him in the secret realm die by the sword.

So in desperation, he can only risk the world’s displeasure and save her!

But in this way, the youth is equivalent to betraying the righteous path and the master who raised him.

Was it worth it?

—————————

The two fled for five days.

Under the righteous path’s encirclement and interception, the two were forced to give up fleeing in the direction of the devil dao sect. Instead, they fled into the deep mountains and dense forests that were convenient for hiding.

They gave up all means of flying and switched to walking to save energy.

But even so, they were tracked down again and again by the pursuers, and there was almost no time to rest.

Even though both of them are cultivators, running away for five consecutive days made them exhausted and sleepy. This morning, the two took a nap for a while, and were awakened by the sound of footsteps approaching suddenly, and then the two had no choice but to continue their journey of escape.

Along the way, the girl had told the boy many times, to leave her alone and let her be caught by the righteous path. Anyway, there shouldn’t be any connection between them, and this will just bring everything back to the original track.

The girl said so, but who knew what was going on in her heart?

But to the girl’s surprise, the boy was surprisingly stubborn.

He repeatedly rejected the proposal of handing over the girl.

Instead, he continued to comfort the girl along the way, telling her that as long as she persisted for a few more days, her father would bring someone to rescue her.

The girl wanted to ask, “Why?”

But looking at the boy’s stubborn gaze, the girl swallowed the question abruptly.

He once said that he would never betray his own sect. He saved her, but it had nothing to do with his position.

He just didn’t want to watch her die.

That’s all.

—————————

Two days later, the two of them seemed to have finally run out of luck. They were surrounded by dozens of righteous cultivators, with no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, and no way to escape.

A disciple of the righteous path pointed at the young man and cursed: “Liu Shou, the sect raised you, taught you, and cultivated you to be worthy of your talent. Is this how you repay the sect? You even colluded with the devil dao? How would your master face the righteous path? How could I call you a fellow disciple?”

The boy shook his head with a pale face, “No, I didn’t betray the sect, I was just saving people…”

“Save people?” another righteous disciple sneered, “Do you know how many people’s blood was stained on the hands of this devil dao disciple you saved? You actually want to save her? Do you know that saving her is indirectly killing countless righteous disciples?! Killing a person like her is not committing crimes against heaven, but doing good deeds to accumulate virtue!”

The girl couldn’t help but scold back, “You disciples of the righteous path keep saying that I am a devil and that I kill innocent people, but have any of you seen it with your own eyes? Have you never killed anyone? Have your hands never been contaminated by the blood of others? How can you say that killing me is doing good deeds?”

Another disciple of the righteous way snorted coldly, “Devil dao devil girl, don’t try to deceive the crowd! No matter how clever your words are, you will not escape death today!”

The girl drew out a blue scimitar without showing any weakness, and said sharply, “It’s just a group of hypocrites! We kill people to do evil, and you kill people to do good. What’s the reason for that? I, Lian Yingying, stand here today. Just do it if you can!”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at the young man next to her again, gritted her teeth and said, “This guy is just a fool who was bewitched by me, and my business has nothing to do with him! If you want to eliminate devils and defend the righteous path, then come at me alone!”

The leading disciple of the righteous way sneered and said, “What a loving and righteous devil dao girl, she didn’t forget to excuse her lover when she was about to die! But I’m sorry, you are going to die today, and we also have to take this kid back for trial!”

The girl was furious and was about to speak, but the boy said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Yingying, stop talking.”

He looked directly at the leading disciple of the righteous path and said solemnly, “I have no regrets in my words and deeds. If senior brother wants to take me back for trial, I have nothing to say. I have never killed anyone indiscriminately. It’s just that I ask senior brother to let her go. I, Liu Shou, will always remember this kindness in my heart!”

The righteous disciple glanced at Liu Shou, sighed suddenly, and said, “Junior brother Liu, why do you say this? You have ruined your reputation because of a devil dao girl! Do you know that your words and deeds already made you intolerable to the righteous world? If you think of the sect’s kindness to you, then kill this demon girl quickly. With this credit, I can also speak a few words for you in front of the sect master. Even if the guilt cannot be eliminated, at least it can be exchanged for a way out!”

The young man shook his head slowly, “Senior brother’s kindness, junior brother appreciates it. It’s just that junior brother will never trade someone else’s life for my own life!”

Hearing this, the other party drew out his long sword and sighed, “If that’s the case, let’s do it!”
