When Shangguan Xi saw his senior sister being entangled by a white demon, a surge of anger rose in his heart. He wanted to pull the person away. Only Nangong Yu felt that the aura emanating from the white demon was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it before.

After having this thought, Nangong Yu kept thinking about it. Finally, when Bai Sha exuded a slight chill, he suddenly realized, "So it was you! The one who was giving me those chilly breaths the other day was you! I was wondering why I was so cold!"

A nameless rage suddenly surged within Nangong Yu, and when he looked at the woman in front of him, it was as if some other emotion was about to burst forth.

The woman didn't care at all. She glanced at him sideways and smiled mischievously. "Oh dear, I didn't expect you to guess it. Looks like you're not so stupid after all! You can figure these things out."

The woman's eyes held a hint of mockery and ridicule, which made Nangong Yu feel as if he had punched cotton. He felt powerless, a deep sense of powerlessness!

He clearly wanted to rise up and sing his praises, but unexpectedly, the opponent defeated him with a single basic attack. Nangong Yu was extremely dissatisfied with and unwilling to accept this outcome.

"So now can you tell me why we can't go up this mountain?" Xu Yuehuai asked again.

Bai Sha shook his head and said, "There are too many things involved, and I can't explain them all at once. Just remember this: the dangers here are beyond your imagination. Don't try to challenge this."

Bai Sha's tone became unusually serious, forcing Xu Yuehuai and the others to confront the mountain directly. Even as they descended the mountain, Xu Yuehuai was still pondering and considering why things had turned out this way.

Are the things on this mountain really that scary? Why have they been here for so long, and everyone they've been told not to go up the mountain?

One problem after another came at her in an instant, and her mind was in complete chaos, with no clue what to do.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Xu Yuehuai looked up, her eyes serious and earnest. "You all wait for me here. I'll go up and take a look by myself."

This time, everyone said in unison, "No way!"

Bai Sha was surprised that these humans would share her opinion, but that wasn't the point. She turned to look at Xu Yuehuai and said seriously, "I'm not joking or playing with you. You can't climb this mountain."

Hei Sha's expression wasn't good either. He had already said not to go up the mountain, but some incompetent teammates insisted on going. No wonder he looked so unhappy.

Xu Yuehuai didn't care about any of that. With some persistence and determination, she said, "The things on this mountain are of utmost importance. I think they are related to our current predicament. This is the only direction we can take. If you don't tell us, then we have no choice but to risk our lives to find out what's on this mountain."

Xu Yuehuai's words contained no threat, only utmost seriousness. From beginning to end, she had chosen herself as the sole person to handle such a risky matter; it was best to do it alone.

She hadn't expected Bai Sha to change her mind because of her words. Bai Sha's eyes were filled with conflict and some emotions that shouldn't have been there. The next second, she said, "If you insist on going up, then go ahead. But I must remind you, the things on this mountain are not for you to touch. If you find anything wrong, leave immediately. Don't stay in one place. Conceal your aura."

Seeing that Bai Sha had actually agreed, Nangong Yu's face immediately darkened. "You've already joined our team, so why are you saying such things? You won't even help Senior Sister when she's in danger? If you just told us what was inside, Senior Sister wouldn't have to risk her life. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

Nangong Yu roared. They were there to do a mission, and it was dangerous, so they had to go. Otherwise, they would never get anything, which was something no one wanted to see. At such a critical moment, going up the mountain alone was the most helpless choice. If it wasn't out of necessity, no one would want to choose this method.

Black Fiend's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone, "I advise you to understand this clearly, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

These words were a warning to Xu Yuehuai. She did not flinch from Hei Sha's gaze. She knew in her heart that she had initially agreed to let them in in order to find out what was in the mountains, but now that she had not found out, she had no choice but to investigate the matter on the mountain herself.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Xu Yuehuai stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Alright, no need to say more. I've made up my mind about this. Listen to me, let's do it this way."

Fu Ziyi hadn't said much from beginning to end, but at this moment, he interjected, "I'll go with you."

Nangong Yu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Fu Ziyi, wondering to himself why this person was causing trouble at this time. His eyes showed some impatience, but thinking that Fu Ziyi didn't have any bad intentions and just wanted to help, he immediately calmed down his rising anger.

Bai Sha didn't stop Hei Sha from speaking. How could she not know Xu Yuehuai's thoughts? But she was very curious about Xu Yuehuai and was willing to be fooled. After being fooled, she controlled what she said.

Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi stood together. She looked at the remaining people, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say at this point. "We will bring back news. Just wait in the inn. If you still have the strength, you might as well go out and inquire about the surrounding area to see if there is anything we can use. We can't just sit and wait to die."

Shangguan Xi nodded. As the team leader, she should take the lead at this time and guide everyone onto the right path.

So the matter was settled, and Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi went up the mountain together. As they watched their figures disappear on the mountain, Nangong Yu and the others' expressions suddenly changed, and none of them gave Bai Sha and the others a good look.

At this point, Ying Ziping was quite sensible and stayed quietly to the side without saying a word.

Bai Sha came for Xu Yuehuai, but now that Xu Yuehuai has left, she naturally has no interest in staying any longer. She will return when Xu Yuehuai comes back.

So she left with Hei Sha. Ying Ziping, seeing this, said with some disdain, "Look at them, they don't take you seriously at all. They just left like that, without any manners. Why don't you kick her out and let me join the team? Don't worry, if I join the team, I will definitely behave well!"
