"Do you think there's anything else in the depths of this cave besides zinc-iron ore and those two kinds of crystals?" The cultivator stared at Ji Fengyao's back and whispered to another cultivator beside him dressed in earth-colored linen clothes.

"How would we know? This place is so eerie, it's not surprising that there are such things," the monk in the earth-colored linen robe replied casually.

The cultivator turned his head and glanced into the depths of the mine, then looked a few more times at Ji Fengyao's almost disappeared figure, lost in thought.

At that moment, the monk dressed in earth-colored linen robes glanced at him and noticed that a black crystal in his hand was rapidly disappearing.

"Xiao Jiu, you..." Before the cultivator in the earth-colored linen robe could finish speaking, his hand was grasped by another cultivator.

A dense surge of demonic energy flowed from the cultivator's palm into the meridians of the cultivator in the earth-colored linen robe.

The monk in the earth-colored linen robe felt his soul being completely imprisoned, and any remaining doubts were abruptly silenced and sealed back into his mouth.

The cultivator's eyes, which were originally ordinary, now shone as brightly as the autumn moon.

He stared intently into the eyes of the monk in the earth-colored linen robes, and asked in a low, sinister voice, "What's wrong with me?"

The cultivator in the earth-colored linen robe felt as if he were being stared at by an unparalleled ferocious demon. Before he could figure out how to react, the demonic energy raging like a torrent within his meridians rushed into his dantian and sea of ​​consciousness, simultaneously destroying them!

"Fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist! What's wrong?" The cultivator tightly grasped the hand of the cultivator in the earth-colored linen robe, feigning concern and anxiety as he shouted.

The surrounding cultivators quickly gathered around to help check the situation, and everyone was talking at once:

"Sigh, another one has died!"

"Does anyone sense anything? Is there some kind of monster or spirit insect in this cave that we haven't discovered yet?"

"No!"

"I didn't feel anything either. This mine is really weird!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, the cultivator released the man's hand and silently retreated back into the crowd, quickly blending into the crowd and becoming inconspicuous.

Ji Fengyao was eager to run out of the mine and get rid of the hallucination, so she didn't pay much attention to the little farce behind her.

With such dense demonic energy in the mine, and the miners all being spiritual practitioners, it would be abnormal if nothing went wrong.

They ran out of the cave.

When the other servants of the He family saw her rushing out of the mine, they surrounded her and asked, "Hey, why were you in there for so long?"

"Another one died inside," Ji Fengyao said, pretending to be out of breath, pointing to the mine behind her.

Upon hearing this, the men quickly called for people to go inside and carry the body, and then stopped paying attention to Ji Fengyao.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Fengyao found Bai Yusheng, Hao Yan, and Zhuang Shaoze, and the group once again made a hasty escape by urinating.

Bai Yusheng, Hao Yan, and Zhuang Shaoze put the clothes they had changed back on the real He Xiaotou and his companions.

Ji Fengyao lured several third- to fourth-tier demonic beasts deeper into the demonic beast forest, threw He Xiaotou and the others to the beasts, creating the illusion that they had been ambushed and killed by the beasts, and then used extreme fire to erase the remaining spiritual energy fluctuations of the four of them.

The group made a perfect escape, leaving no trace whatsoever.

When the group returned to the courtyard, the moon was already high in the sky, but everyone was waiting for them to come back and no one went to meditate and rest.

Seeing them return safely, everyone who remained breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Youying rushed forward anxiously, saying, "Miss, are you alright? What were you doing at the mines of the Dongdan and He families? It's very dangerous there!"

"With Miss here, any danger can be averted," Bai Yusheng said, glancing at Qian Youying with a hint of vying for favor.
