Lou Qiongshang glanced at Yuan Qi, knowing he wouldn't let them go, so from the moment Yu Chuan sent the signal, she started thinking about how to leave.

Given their cultivation levels, it would be impossible for them to leave right under Yuanqi's nose. Therefore, one of them had to hold him off while the other escaped.

So he sent a telepathic message to Yuchuan: "I'll stall him for a bit. You find a way to get out of here."

【How could this be...】

Lou Qiongshang knew what he wanted to say, so she immediately interrupted him and said, "I've already been poisoned, and even if I escape, I can't get very far. But it's different for you. You should escape as soon as possible and find someone to save me immediately. There might still be a glimmer of hope."

After Lou Qiongshang finished speaking, she swallowed several pills in a row and attacked Yuanqi. Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and went to meet her.

Seeing this, Yu Chuan had no choice but to run away.

Seeing Yu Chuan run in another direction, Yuan Qi couldn't help but laugh, "You really think you can escape?"

“Even if I don’t chase after him, he won’t be able to leave this Monster Valley.”

Lou Qiongshang was already struggling, but she still tried her best to drag herself along, saying, "Whether we can get out or not, we'll only know after we try."

Yuanqi responded casually, glancing in the direction Yuchuan had left, which was exactly the direction Zhong Wangtian was heading.

They were incredibly lucky; he led them around and around, making them completely disoriented.

As it turned out, the direction this kid randomly chose turned out to be the right one, so he hesitated.

Don't let him get away, so he swung his sword and sent Lou Qiongshang flying, then immediately went after Yuchuan.

Lou Qiongshang was corroded by the black mist, and with the power of this sword, even moving her on the ground felt like it took all her strength.

The pills he had just taken had no effect whatsoever; the black mist had already begun to erode his meridians.

Once his meridians are eroded, he will be completely ruined.

After Yuanqi left, the monsters, no longer restrained, all walked towards Lou Qiongshang.

Lou Qiongshang lay there motionless, only able to watch helplessly as the monsters approached.

Countless images of Yan Xi flashed through his mind, and he feared that he was truly destined to be apart from her.

Even if someone comes to save him now, he's already no different from a cripple, so what right does he have?

As the monsters drew closer, Lou Qiongshang suddenly calmed down. Just when he thought he was about to be devoured by the monsters, the monsters that approached him collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Lou Qiongshang turned her head and saw Lou Yiliu running quickly towards her.

"Master?"

Lou Yiliu walked over and squatted down next to him, looking at him with the same gaze she would give a stranger. They had gotten along quite well before, but now they seemed like strangers again.

Even so, Lou Qiongshang still said anxiously, "Master, leave here quickly."

Lou Qiongshang could only barely raise his hand, pointing in the opposite direction from where Yuanqi had left.

"Go that way, hurry up."

Lou Yiliu glanced at him, then grabbed him and lifted him up. Instead of heading in the direction Lou Qiongshang had indicated, he rushed off in the direction Yuanqi and the others had left.

Upon seeing this, Lou Qiongshang immediately said, "Master, we can't go this way..."

Lou Yiliu glanced at him, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it directly into his mouth, then continued flying in that direction.

After flying for a distance, Lou Qiongshang saw Yuanqi and Yuchuan.

Lou Yiliu dragged him to Yuan Qi's side and stopped him there, then threw Lou Qiongshang directly to the ground.

With that, what else could Lou Qiongshang not understand? His master was probably being controlled by Yuanqi.

Upon seeing this, Yu Chuan immediately stepped forward to help Lou Qiongshang up. Seeing that there was something stuffed in his mouth, he immediately took it out.

Seeing that his lips had turned black, she frowned. "How are you? I wonder if my parents saw the distress signal."

Lou Qiongshang coughed, clutching his chest. Seeing Yuan Qi's murderous intent, his heart tightened.

"Ahem, Yuchuan, is there still a signal?"

"That's all. Xixi and I each have one." Yu Chuan had barely finished speaking when Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu arrived.

Upon seeing this, Yuanqi immediately raised his sword and stabbed at Yuchuan.

If you can't control it, then kill it; it's already been exposed anyway.

"How dare you!" Chong Jiu swung a palm at him from a distance, while Shu Jianyue threw the Qiankun Bowl at Yu Chuan and Lou Qiongshang.

At the same time, the sword that originated was also getting close to Yu Chuan.

Yu Chuan reacted quickly and dodged to the side, but forgot that the one he avoided was Lou Qiongshang, so he immediately pounced back.

Lou Qiongshang tried to push him away but had no strength. Seeing that the sword was already close at hand, she could only try to block it with her hands.

Chongjiu's cultivation level was higher than Yuanqi's, so just as the sword pierced Lou Qiongshang, the palm wind had already struck him.

As Yuanqi flew backward, he forcefully pushed the sword into Lou Qiongshang's arm, and the sword pierced through the arm and into Yuchuan's back.

He was sent flying backwards, but Lou Yiliu was unharmed. He stepped forward to follow Yuanqi's movements, but was kicked away by Chongjiu.

Lou Qiongshang immediately raised his voice and said, "Venerable Chong, please show mercy. Master only did this because he allowed him to control her."

Chongjiu looked at Yuanqi, who had just stood up, and walked over to him. "You're very brave."

Shu Jianyue landed beside them and nervously helped Yu Chuan up, checking his injuries. She was relieved to see that the wounds were not deep.

"Mother, I'm fine. Quickly check on Lou Qiongshang; he's badly injured." Yu Chuan immediately stepped aside.

Shu Jianyue looked at Lou Qiongshang, who was lying motionless on the ground, and quickly asked, "How are you? Where are you hurt?"

She said she wanted to help him up.

Lou Qiongshang shook his head and said, "I've been poisoned. The toxins are now eroding my meridians, and I'm afraid there's no cure."
