Xu Shan compromised, and the moment he finished speaking, the pressure on him slowly disappeared.
Obviously, Shen Jinggu didn't say anything, but Xu Shan felt the invisible oppression.
After standing up from the ground, Xu Shan staggered towards the cave, looking desperate and resigned to his fate.
His hands groped along the walls, and after a while he stopped again, standing aside as if he had lost his soul.
The originally ordinary cave suddenly had an open stone door. Xu Shan did not look into the secret cave, even just a quick glance.
His gaze lingered on Shen Jinggu for a moment before settling on his toes, but he was secretly wondering if the chain inside could also handcuff this immortal master.
He really didn't want to take the gamble. If the fox was gone, he would most likely have to go back to living a life where he had no food to eat and his next meal depended on fate.
What's more, he had promised Qingniang that he would let her live a good life.
Thinking of this, Xu Shan's hand began to grope along the cliff. Seeing that Chen Jinggu didn't move, he forced a wry smile, "Master, the Master and the monster are in the cave..."
Xu Shan paused for a moment before speaking again, "I hope you can consider what I told you earlier, Master."
He watched Shen Jinggu approaching, took a deep breath, and grabbed a stone in his right hand behind his back, ready to smash it on Shen Jinggu's head.
Xu Shan did not intend to take the lives of these two immortal masters. He knew in his heart that if he really did so, he and Qing Niang would be in an irretrievable situation.
Therefore, his plan did not include killing to silence the witness. He just wanted to skin the fox after knocking Shen Jinggu unconscious.
After it was done, even if they wanted to say or do something, it was too late.
Xu Shan was so nervous that his palms were sweating as he looked at Chen Jinggu who walked in front of him without any defense. He moved his feet twice very unnaturally, trying to adjust to an excellent angle for the attack.
He didn't know the levels of cultivation, so he just assumed that Shen Jinggu's strength was the same as He Song in the cave, only slightly stronger. Furthermore, there were things in the cave that could suppress him. As long as he acted quickly and ruthlessly, he would naturally have a chance of succeeding.
Xu Shan thought so, and looked at Shen Jinggu who had already stepped half a step into the cave, and raised the stone.
He looked at the back of Shen Jinggu's head, gritted his teeth, and bit his lips slightly to avoid making any sound.
Xu Shan raised his hands above his head, and taking advantage of the fact that he was standing behind Shen Jinggu and the other party could not see clearly, he prepared to smash down with force.
The moment the stone was raised, Xu Shan seemed to have seen Shen Jinggu falling down, but he had no time to rejoice.
The stone that was supposed to fall on Shen Jinggu's head now seemed to hit the extremely hard rock next to him directly, causing the stone and hand in Xu Shan's hand to start shaking uncontrollably.
In just a few seconds, Xu Shan lost control of his right hand and watched the stone fall on his feet.
It still hurts when a stone hits someone, but this time Shen Jinggu did not give Xu Shan a chance to regret.
Shen Jinggu's body was filled with waves of spiritual power, and his calm attitude formed a sharp contrast with Xu Shan's panicked expression.
Xu Shan wanted to beg for mercy again, but Shen Jinggu had no intention of listening.
The cave was extremely clean. There was neither He Song, whom he was looking for, nor the fox that Xu Shan mentioned. However, there was an extremely strong smell of blood lingering on the ground.
After realizing something was wrong, Shen Jinggu frowned even more, walked in front of Xu Shan again, and waved his hand gently, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Only after Xu Shan regained his freedom did he truly realize how naive his previous thoughts were.
Looking at Chen Jinggu who walked out of the cave unharmed, Xu Shan was a little puzzled, but when he saw that no one followed him out, he felt something was wrong.
"No, besides me, only the immortal master inside knows about this place." Xu Shan knew that now was not the time to shirk responsibility, so he hurried to the front of the cave and explored inside.
Xu Shan kept this secret extremely strictly, even keeping it from Qing Niang.
But when he looked inside, there was no four-tailed fox, not even a single fox hair.
An idea suddenly came to Xu Shan’s mind.
Could it be that the immortal master he locked up in the cave was pretending? He was not defeated, but did it on purpose, and his target was the fox demon in the cave.
The more Xu Shan thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. However, looking at Shen Jinggu who had a cold face and didn't say a word, he didn't have the courage to express this guess. After all, these two people were in the same group.
And the bloodstains on the ground, could it be that the fox has already...
Xu Shan suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he had known this would be the result, he should have taken the initiative.
"Master, this matter has nothing to do with me anymore, so I'll leave first." Xu Shan raised his head again and glanced at Chen Jinggu hurriedly, obviously not wanting to say more.
"Wait, you carry this talisman with you."
Seeing Xu Shan's expression, Chen Jinggu knew that he couldn't get any information out of him, so he took out a talisman that was slightly different from the previous one from his storage ring and handed it to him.
Xu Shan took a look and was about to wave his hand to refuse, but he found that the talisman seemed to have grown legs and ran into the piece of fabric on his chest.
"...Thank you, Master."
Xu Shan didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Seeing that Chen Jinggu insisted on doing so, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
