148.
After hearing Qin Yu's words, Lu Cai felt relieved.
She squatted down, gathered her energy into her fist, held onto the boulder at her feet, and punched it hard.
The entire cave trembled slightly, and the stone remained intact, but Lu Cai saw that the red thread had seeped into the stone. This meant that the stone was not completely flawless!
Lu Cai continued to strike hard, throwing several punches until a slight cracking sound rang in his ears.
She quickly jumped out of the pit, supported herself on the soil on one side and turned over to the flat ground. Then there was a loud rumbling sound, and a cloud of dust rose from the deep pit.
Bending down to look into the pit, I saw Qin Yu, dressed in a pink dress, stepping on the gravel.
"Lu Cai!" Qin Yu was extremely surprised, with a smile on his face.
Lu Cai also laughed: "Can you get up there?"
"No problem." Qin Yu stretched his arms and legs, jumped lightly, climbed up the edge of the cave easily.
"Did Gu Xici lock you up here?" Lu Cai reached out and pulled her up.
"Yeah." Qin Yu stood firm and brushed off the dust on a pair of glasses. "This secret room can block signals and suppress my superpowers. It's like I'm training my telekinesis every day. I can finally resist a little and let my thoughts leak out."
That's why I was able to communicate with Lu Cai across the huge rock.
Cai Lu opened the group chat and sent a message.
[Lu Cai: I found Qin Yu. Be careful of Gu Xici.]
She glanced at Qin Yu in the list and found that he was back online.
"I have broken the restriction here. Gu Xici must be able to feel it. Let's leave here first." Lu Cai led Qin Yu out.
The two walked a few steps and suddenly stopped.
Lu Cai frowned, noticing that there were many people gathered outside, including several elders in charge of the Zhengqing Sect.
"Did you know that this is a copy of the Immortal Cultivation Clan?" Lu Cai asked her.
Qin Yu nodded: "I know."
"We are now in Zhengqing Sect. Gu Xici is the Sect Master, and I am the Sect Master's disciple. The people gathered outside are several elders in charge. This might be an arrangement made by Gu Xici." Lu Cai quickly explained the current situation.
If she returns to Zhengqing Sect and is under the surveillance of the elders, will 666 be in danger?
Thinking of this, Lu Cai frowned and met Qin Yu's eyes. "666 is here too. I asked him to stay at the foot of the mountain. If the Zhengqing Sect is wary of me, I'm worried that something might happen to him."
Qin Yu comforted her: "After all, he is a scavenger by birth. No psychic player can be his match. Even if he can't beat him, escaping should be no problem."
But Lu Cai was worried that 666 was stubborn and didn't want to leave her behind and run away.
"Let's see what's going on outside first." Lu Cai's eyes were sharp, and when he looked outside the cave, his face was cold.
The two of them stepped out of the cave one after another. Sure enough, the outside was surrounded by disciples of the Zhengqing Sect, led by the four senior brothers and sisters of the sect leader.
"Grand Elder, are you mobilizing such a large force just to capture a useless disciple like me?" Lu Cai smiled, but his expression remained calm.
The Great Elder was a fierce-looking young man. He frowned and scolded in a deep voice, "Your master was willing to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to be so disappointing!" He was filled with grief and indignation. "When our junior brother, the headmaster, wrote to me, saying that you had strayed into the devil's way due to your dull talent, I didn't believe it. I never thought you would actually get involved with the devil's leader!"
She actually used the Demon Sect as an excuse? Did Gu Xici already know that she would suspect him?
Lu Cai was a little shocked. The other party's calculations were so accurate! And he started to lie to her when they met at the inn!
"Elder, the punishment should always make the person die with a clear conscience. I really don't understand what you are saying." Lu Cai's face was calm and he was unmoved.
The gentle-looking woman on the side was the second elder. She started to persuade him: "Lu Cai, your temper is well known to the senior brothers. Today, you brought this demon leader of the Demon Sect out of the cave, but were you bewitched?" The woman pointed at Qin Yu beside Lu Cai.
The woman with gorgeous features on the other side was the Fourth Elder, her expression somewhat furious. "What do you mean by 'bewitched'?! Master Junior Brother made it clear that the spies of the Demon Sect who were in contact with him were very cunning and had already bewitched this traitor. Master Junior Brother wanted to give this traitor a chance to live, but she was so ungrateful that she actually did as Master Junior Brother predicted and released the demon sealed away in the retreat!"
Lu Cai realized it belatedly and looked at Qin Yu hesitantly: "Are you from the Demon Sect?"
Qin Yu was a little embarrassed: "I am indeed a demon cultivator, but my cultivation level is low and I am not considered a big shot."
It turns out they weren't talking about 666...
It seems that Gu Xici had planned it all out and prepared this set of excuses.
If Lu Cai had not found and rescued Qin Yu, she would have "repented and returned to the right path". Zheng Qingzong was willing to give her a chance to repent and would not have exposed Gu Xici and just pretended to know nothing.
If she rescued Qin Yu, she would say that Lu Cai was colluding with the Demon Sect and intended to rescue the demon and bring disaster to the world.
Tsk tsk, this is quite a calculation.
"You really don't know she's the Demon Sect's leader?" The Great Elder frowned, but his gaze softened. "In that case, we can let you off the hook. Send this demon back to the barrier, and the matter will be over."
Lu Cai sighed, raised her hand to take off her long, wide-sleeved robe, and threw it away. The sleeves of her clothes under the robe were tightly tied, and her trouser legs were tucked neatly into her boots.
He inserted the bandage into his sleeve and wrapped the entire left arm, while his right hand grasped a dagger out of thin air.
"What are you doing!" the Great Elder shouted angrily.
The fourth elder sneered, "What else can we do? This behavior is not like that of a reputable sect. It is really a betrayal of the master and ancestors, and they have joined another sect——"
"It's standard for the younger generation to respect the elders, but today I have to take her away, so I have no choice but to offend her." Lu Cai looked at her coldly, and he looked a bit evil.
"Traitor! Today I will clean up the mess for my junior brother, the master!" The fourth elder rushed forward first, and with a flick of his hand, a long sword appeared out of thin air, stabbing straight at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai was not afraid. He used his left arm as a shield and his right arm as a spear, blocking and slashing, making the long sword buzz.
As expected of a weapon from the world of immortal cultivation, the blade hadn't shattered in her previous strike. Lu Cai knew he couldn't underestimate his foe, so he quickly changed direction, approached the Fourth Elder, and then, gripping the dagger in reverse, raised his arm and slashed.
The opponent leaned back quickly, and the sharp sword blade passed by her nose, and the movement was so fast that it frightened her.
Seeing that she was distracted, Lu Cai spun around and kicked. The Fourth Elder quickly blocked with her arms. But as she did so, she realized how strong Lu Cai was. Even though she used her cultivation to block the kick, the barrier was shattered by him.
When everyone saw the four elders flying out, they were surprised and angry for a moment.
"You traitor!" The Great Elder no longer believed she was innocent. "How dare you attack our respected master!"
Lu Cai tutted, "Great Elder, you outnumbered me and bullied me. I had no choice but to fight back. You, the elders of a sect, can't defeat a loser like me. Instead of blaming your own lack of cultivation, you start scolding me."
The other party was ridiculed by her and even called several "traitors" and "rebels". Then she gave an order and everyone rushed forward together.
The Great Elder naturally went straight for Lu Cai. He had just observed Lu Cai's skills and found that she was good at close combat, so he deliberately did not move forward, but used his cultivation from a distance and at the same time activated the spell, intending to cripple Lu Cai.
Lu Cai's lips curled up. In her eyes, she could see many different energies. Some were turbulent currents caused by the fight nearby, and some were the forces attacking her.
Among these energies, the Great Elder's is particularly domineering and obvious.
Lu Cai dodged several energies that were heading towards her and rushed towards the attack of the Great Elder.
The sharp blade of the dagger hit the powerful energy, but instead of breaking or retreating, it cut towards that force.
The thin figure was caught in the strong wind, and the swift wind seemed to be blowing her off the ground.
But the figure stood firmly in place, and the dagger in his hand cut through the incoming gust of wind from top to bottom. In an instant, the air flowed in all directions, and the people around began to shake.
At this moment, the group of disciples who were besieging Qin Yu screamed, and the crowd began to move and become chaotic.
The group of people in the front widened their eyes and began to turn their backs to Qin Yu, protecting her in the center.
I'd seen Qin Yu use this move before in the "Amber Legend" dungeon, but the range back then wasn't as large. Furthermore, the scorpion monsters' minds should be much simpler than humans', meaning they'd be much easier to control.
Qin Yu's superpowers have indeed become stronger. She was trapped in various closed environments by Gu Xici, who deliberately suppressed her superpowers. Every residence can seal her telekinesis.
But how could Qin Yu obey so easily? She expanded her mental power again and again, but was restrained and hurt again and again. Although she failed more and more times, her mental power gradually became stronger.
However, mental energy consumes physical energy, and her body was still affected and became much worse than before.
"It's indeed the devil from the Demon Sect!" The crowd shouted and cursed, but the people being cursed didn't care at all.
Lu Cai looked at the elder who looked a little embarrassed, exerted force on his feet, and rushed forward.
Everyone present was wary of the Great Elder. Who could have imagined that Lu Cai would dare to go straight towards him? Before he could react, he was already in front of the Great Elder.
"Grand Elder, stand firm—" Lu Cai reminded softly.
The Great Elder's whole body was tense and his eyes were full of vigilance. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and was kicked and fell out.
Seeing the young man fall onto the gravel behind him, Lu Cai felt a little guilty. Although she didn't like this group of people, based on the current information, she wasn't sure who the traitor was.
Unless everyone is a traitor, there are still some serious people among them who care about the world. How could Lu Cai not feel guilty about beating up a group of veterans like this?
But who told them to just shout and fight without investigating? They were stupid and deceived by Gu Xici, so they should suffer for their stupid behavior.
Moreover, Lu Cai's attack was already considered lenient. She did not use her special abilities, otherwise she would have destroyed the opponent's data in minutes and made the opponent tremble with fear on the spot.
Qin Yu controlled more and more people. She used these people to clear the way in the middle, and Lu Cai cleaned up the minor troubles on the periphery. Although the result was that all the opponents were injured, at least no one died.
After the two men left the mountain where they had been in seclusion, they abandoned a large number of controlled disciples, then mobilized their special powers and rushed towards the town at the foot of the mountain.
Qin Yu was exhausted on the way, so Lu Cai carried her without hesitation. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young man in gray standing at the entrance to the foot of the mountain.
666 also saw Lu Cai and was very curious to see her carrying a young girl like a sack.
Qin Yu, who was shaken all the way, resisted the urge to vomit and said intermittently: "If you...if you don't put me down...this trip...this rescue will be...in vain..."
