In the underground cave, the basket slid down the rope.

Without waiting for the basket to stabilize, Wujiao jumped out and hurriedly looked up, calling out, "There is a forbidden area within the Jade Well. If we hide there, we might avoid the disturbance, which is better than being coerced into talking about life and death!"

Two figures in white descended gracefully from the well, quickly taking in their surroundings. Ziyun looked puzzled and cautious, while Yezi seemed regretful. As soon as she landed, she stomped her foot and shouted, "What can you do besides hiding in holes?"

These were two proud women who wouldn't easily trust others, but after a brief consideration, they both followed him!

Wujiao was both surprised and delighted, and even Yezi's ridicule sounded pleasant to his ears. He chuckled, took the lead, and waved, saying, "I've been here for over two months and am still safe and sound!"

Yezi, looking at the rapidly retreating back and the confident words, hesitated and said, "Amidst the chaos, Senior Xuanyu must be too busy to spare a moment. We might be able to escape. We should listen to the boy one more time..."

Ziyun remained silent but nodded slightly. Yezi quickly reached out to support her, and the two moved forward together.

In the end, they were women, and the situation was urgent with no other choice. Perhaps, as he said, there was another way out in the Jade Well. If they could escape, they could temporarily leave Ling Mountain and avoid trouble.

Soon, the cave where he had hidden for two months appeared at the end of the tunnel.

Wujiao jumped directly into the cave, looking at the puddles on the ground, the thick stone pillars, and the familiar stone bed, he smiled as if he had returned home. With Xuanyu's backing, Muxin would surely come to cause trouble. But with the protection of the crystal's spiritual power, what could he do to me! Oh, I almost forgot...

"Please wait a moment—"

Wujiao ran into the Jade Well, wanting to avoid Muxin's harassment, but he couldn't bear to see the sisters being coerced, or perhaps he couldn't bear to leave Ziyun behind. His desire to save the beauty surged again. In his haste, he forgot that the stone pillar in the center of the cave might not recognize a fairy. If something went wrong, it would be a disaster!

He quickly waved his hands, trying to dissuade them, "Please listen to me..."

The two women appeared one after another, not having time to look around before stepping into the cave. Suddenly, they saw the person leading them stop and raise his hand. Yezi, without thinking, shouted, "Don't pretend to be a god or ghost. Someone is chasing us!"

Wujiao, hearing that someone was chasing them, panicked and said, "There is a Qiankun Crystal inside the central stone pillar, with astonishing spiritual power. The area within five zhang is a forbidden zone. We must take a detour. Follow me." He rushed to the side of the cave wall, waved, and reminded, "Be careful..."

Ziyun and Yezi, perhaps aware of the power of the Qiankun Crystal, no longer questioned and carefully followed the cave wall. In a moment, they reached the end of the cave, looking around in confusion. All they saw were stone walls. Clearly, this path was a dead end.

Yezi immediately became angry, "Where is the exit?"

Wujiao was also anxious, waving his hands and saying, "Yes, yes, where is the exit..." He was in a difficult situation, feeling extremely anxious. This place was suitable for him to hide, but it might not be useful for others. If he caused harm to Ziyun, what would he do...

Seeing Wujiao's helpless appearance, Yezi stomped her foot in anger, "I must be blind to trust you, a pedantic scholar. I'm so angry..." It was no wonder she was so angry. If they couldn't escape, they would be in mortal danger. She couldn't bear it any longer, waved her sleeve, and held her flying sword, her face filled with a murderous look.

Wujiao sensed the danger, stumbled backward, and widened his eyes. Is she going to kill me out of anger?

"Yezi, wait!"

Ziyun spoke at the right moment, then said, "Mr. Wu, why are you not afraid of the spiritual power, and why do you want to harm my sister? Please tell the truth, or we will both perish..." Her voice was calm but left no room for doubt. Her jade-like face was covered with a light frost, and her calm eyes added a distant chill.

Wujiao wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. Looking at the beautiful Ziyun, he was momentarily stunned.

Ziyun frowned, her face becoming even colder.

Yezi couldn't stand such pretense, turned around, and started hacking at the stone wall with her sword, "Look at his lecherous face, it's disgusting..." As she shouted, "Bang," a stone slab was shattered. She covered her nose and retreated, "Oh, it stinks!"

Wujiao was both embarrassed and anxious, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Why is she attacking my latrine!

At this moment, five figures appeared in the cave. One of them was Muxin, and the others were Ge Qi, Zhong Kai, and four other managers of Jade Well Peak.

Wujiao was startled, quickly recovering from his embarrassment, and drew his sword, pointing it and saying, "Where the water flows, there must be an exit. Work together to dig, and we might find a way out..."

Ziyun and Yezi, already aware that someone was chasing them, felt discouraged and hopeless. They looked at the half-person-high cave at the end of the cave, which was only a few feet deep. They hadn't noticed it before, but now, upon closer inspection, they saw water slowly seeping through the cracks. Could there really be another path behind the cave?

Muxin led the charge, shouting, "Wujiao, you have committed a grave sin by first causing trouble and then inciting the disciples to rebel. You deserve to be executed according to the law!" He was excited and turned to order, "Brothers, help me capture him!"

The four managers of Jade Well Peak, familiar with the dangers of the place, hesitated.

Muxin urged, "My master ordered you to assist. How can you delay..."

Ge Qi seemed dissatisfied, grunted, and replied, "The place is narrow, we must be extra careful!" He curiously looked at Wujiao and the two women at the end of the cave, waved his hand, and waited for the three managers to slowly move forward before following.

Muxin's arrogance grew, and he sneered, "Wujiao, where do you think you can run!" He moved quickly, circling most of the cave, and added, "The two of you have taken a wrong path. It's not too late to repent. Why not help me capture that boy and make up for your mistakes!"

Wujiao saw that Ziyun and Yezi were still standing there, and couldn't help but urge, "Why are you standing there? Do you really want to capture me for credit..." He wasn't afraid that the two women would turn against him, but he was afraid of being trapped. If he was cornered, he would have no chance. He bit his lip, stomped his foot, and, holding his sword with both hands, charged at Muxin, splashing water as he went, showing a determined spirit.

Muxin, seeing Wujiao charge, was momentarily stunned, then sneered and prepared to use his magic. However, Wujiao crossed the center of the cave, which was under the protection of the spiritual power.

Ziyun and Yezi were still looking around, hesitant.

They didn't know if there was an exit behind the half-person-high cave. Facing the attack of five fellow cultivators, they had no chance of winning. Should they accept their fate or try their best? What could a mere mortal do, challenge cultivators?

At the same time, Wujiao, taking a shortcut, intercepted Muxin. Without hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed.

Muxin, seeing the aggressive Wujiao, was caught between advancing and retreating.

Should he punish the boy?

The place was narrow, and any misstep could trigger the spiritual power, with dire consequences.

Should he retreat?

The managers were already blocking his path.

Just as he was at a loss, a sword light suddenly appeared.

"Bang—"

Muxin had no choice but to defend. In his eyes, a mere mortal, even with a magical weapon, was no match. He activated his protective magic, and the sword light struck him. The light flashed, and he was unharmed, but the force was strong, and he couldn't stop himself, stepping back with a thud.

The managers followed, especially Xiang Rong, who was closest. He was caught off guard and, fearing for his own safety, pushed out a palm.

"Bang—"

Muxin, still retreating, was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling. His protective magic shattered with a "crack." He turned angrily, "Manager Xiang, why did you attack me without distinguishing friend from foe..."

This time, it was a blow from a cultivator, containing magic, and it was a serious hit. Fortunately, Xiang Rong didn't use his full strength, or he would have been seriously injured or even killed!

Xiang Rong hurriedly stopped, hid his flying sword behind his back, and waved his empty left hand, apologizing, "In a hurry, it was inevitable..."

Behind him, Gou Jun and Zhong Kai chimed in, "The place is narrow and dangerous. Manager Mu, please don't take it to heart..."

The three managers were in sync, apologizing and retreating. Ge Qi was far behind, with a strange look on his face.

Muxin knew he had been tricked and glared at Xiang Rong. Before he could react, a sword light swept over, and a voice shouted, "I will guard the two fairies. Who dares to come near..."

Blowing his own horn! A mere mortal without magical cultivation, challenging five cultivators, what nonsense! And all this talk is just to win the women's favor!

Muxin despised the man's words and actions but had to retreat. Although the man was weak, his strength was astonishing. If he was hit by his sword, his protective magic might be broken, leading to unexpected consequences. Moreover, with the protection of the spiritual power, being passively attacked without being able to counter was not a pleasant experience.

Wujiao blocked Muxin but didn't pursue. He stayed within the five zhang range of the stone pillar's spiritual power, then casually twirled his sword and turned to call out, "Sister Ye, use your magic to open the way!"

Though he said this, his eyes were on Ziyun, and he smiled slightly. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
