When the crowd approached, Qi Zong couldn't help but rush out with his sword when he saw the familiar masked man with cold and ruthless eyes in the rainy night.
Bai Yihan followed closely behind, and Ning Biqiao stomped her feet in anger.
"Who knows whether these two are good or bad? Why save them? Besides, it's raining so hard, it's not worth getting wet. Humph!"
Xia Feng didn't say anything, but he didn't move forward either. With Bai Yihan and Qi Zong joining in, the situation suddenly reversed. It was not difficult for the four of them to deal with the thirteen men in black.
During this period, not only Xia Feng has made progress, but Qi Zong as well, and Bai Yihan's swordsmanship has become more powerful.
Soon, thirteen bodies of men in black appeared on the ground, turning the rain water on the ground into a slightly reddish color.
Qi Zong and Bai Yihan came in holding weapons, followed by a brother and sister who supported each other, but they couldn't hide their embarrassment and paleness.
The two of them were wearing one pink and one blue. Although they were soaked by the rain, they looked like they were made of fine silk.
The two of them clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you for your help, my brother and I are from the Qushui Chamber of Commerce. We were transporting goods when we were intercepted by the Demon Cult. All of our men were killed or injured, and only my brother and I are left.
Thanks to you all, otherwise my brother and I would be in great danger.
If the hero has any orders, my brother and I will fight to the death."
Bai Yihan still had that stern expression on his face, so Qi Zong could only salute in return.
"You two are too polite. If you see injustice and help others, others will also help if they encounter the same situation."
"No one else is as chivalrous as you heroes, so I haven't asked for your names yet." Bian Dongling asked with a smile.
Qi Zong introduced them to them first, but just as he was about to say something, Ning Biqiao interrupted him.
"Brother Qi, you and Brother Bai are both soaked. Let's warm ourselves by the fire first to avoid getting too hot."
He said this without even looking at the brother and sister.
Qi Zong could only say, "Brother Bian, why don't you warm yourself by the fire together? You're all soaked."
Bian Feichen glanced at Ning Biqiao and said, "Thank you, Brother Qi."
With that, the two siblings started to roast themselves by the fire, and Long Yuanling didn't even mention treating their injuries.
There was no conversation that night. The brother and sister were tactful enough not to say much, just whispering occasionally.
By the morning, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy.
Xia Feng and his group had a lot of food with them, but the Bian brothers and sisters were being chased and had nothing on them.
It was Qi Zong who invited them to have breakfast together.
After eating, the Bian brothers and sisters were very considerate and took the initiative to clean up.
The Bian brothers and sisters also winked at each other, and finally Bian Feichen stood up and spoke.
"My dear heroes, to be honest, the dart my Chamber of Commerce was transporting this time was actually a treasure map. It was precisely because of this treasure map that the Demon Cult intercepted it.
If you don't mind, we can search for the treasure together, and after we find it, we can split it fifty-fifty."
Hearing the word treasure, everyone couldn't help but look at them.
Bian Feichen hurriedly explained.
"This treasure is about the burial place of the Shadowless Swordsman fifteen years ago. It also contains his life's collection."
"Legend has it that there's also the Shadowless Sword, which ranks among the top five in the martial arts world today."
The five people understood immediately, and Ning Biqiao looked at them suspiciously.
"You're telling us this kind of secret. Aren't you afraid we'll kill people and steal their treasures? Why don't you contact someone from your Chamber of Commerce?"
"Besides, you two brothers can handle this, why do you need to bring five of us?"
Bian Feichen began to explain, "Given the bravery of these young heroes, my brother and I naturally trust them. If it weren't for Hero Qi and Hero Bai, we would have died at the hands of the Demon Cult."
He said this with another bitter smile.
“To be honest, my father is seriously ill, and the Chamber of Commerce is in chaos right now. Otherwise, such important news would not have been known to the Demon Cult.
So, this is also a request from my brother and I."
In the end, Qi Zong and Bai Yihan agreed.
A group of seven people set out on a treasure hunt. Fortunately, the map was not far from here. After two days of walking, they abandoned their horses and walked to a remote cliff.
The surroundings were desolate and overgrown with weeds, but there was nothing special about them.
Bian Feichen and his sister checked the map again, "Yes, it's right here, below the cliff."
Ning Biqiao frowned. "No one knows how deep the cliff is, or what's happening down there. What if something unexpected happens?"
Bian Feichen smiled and said, "Why don't I go down and check the situation first. If I find anything, I'll come back and inform you heroes."
Ning Biqiao frowned even more tightly. No one knew the truth of what the brother and sister said, and the timing of their appearance was so coincidental. Ning Biqiao did not agree from the beginning, and now she was even more suspicious when she heard them say this.
Xia Feng spoke up, "I'll go down with Hero Bian. My Qinggong skills are pretty good."
Ning Biqiao felt a little relieved after hearing what Xia Feng said. Compared with this brother and sister, Xia Feng was more reliable.
After the agreement was reached, Xia Feng and Bian Feichen took out the prepared rope and went down the cliff together.
As they went down, the slope became steeper and more mossy. It was easy to slip and fall if they were not careful. The two of them relied on their inner strength to support themselves, passed through the vast white fog, and finally saw a tall cliff cypress.
Xia Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a protrusion next to it, but the rope was obviously not long enough. Xia Feng swung to the front side first, then suddenly untied the rope and used the momentum to rush to the cliff cypress.
She jumped to the protrusion again, and now she could see clearly that there was a small mountain gate inside. It was already covered with dust and cobwebs, and the words on it could not be seen clearly.
Bian Feichen had also come over, with sweat on his face. When he saw the gate clearly, a smile appeared on his face.
Bian Feichen turned around and went back to inform others. Xia Feng blew a loud whistle and stood quietly by.
Xia Feng only came to his senses when everyone arrived.
Ning Biqiao looked at the cave entrance with great interest. After everyone worked together to break the entrance open, bursts of cold arrows came from inside.
If it weren't for everyone's quick reaction, they would have been shot into pieces. They dodged in a hurry, but the entrance to the cave was so small that Long Yuanling was about to fall if she lost her balance.
Xia Feng drifted, grabbed her waist and flew to the left side of the cave entrance, using a small protruding stone to support the two of them.
Long Yuanling came back to her senses with lingering fear at this moment, and looked at Xia Feng with eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Junior Sister Zhu, for saving my life."
"I've been through this journey thanks to Sister Long's elixir, so I'm the one who should be thanking her."
Without waiting for Long Yuanling to say anything, there were no hidden arrows at the cave entrance, and Xia Feng took Long Yuanling directly to the front of the cave entrance.
At this moment, everyone came over and Long Yuanling stopped talking.
Ning Biqiao looked at the dark cave entrance and threw out a few stones. After seeing no response for a while, everyone dared to go in.
Qi Zong and Bian Feichen walked side by side in front holding torches, Ning Biqiao and Bian Dongling followed behind them, Xia Feng and Long Yuanling followed closely behind, and Bai Yihan brought up the rear.
All seven of them were extremely cautious and nervous.
