Liu Jingyun believed he owed Gu Tiezhu a great debt of gratitude. If it weren't for him, Gu Tiezhu, an honest country boy, would still be struggling in poverty. In Liu Jingyun's eyes, he saved Gu Tiezhu's life, and no matter what he did to him, Gu Tiezhu should be grateful to him forever.
Seeing that Gutiezhu's body was in an abnormal condition, Liu Jingyun was a little afraid to attack Ren Zhongyuan.
Are you just going to let go of the jade pendant that's about to be yours? Liu Jingyun felt unwilling to give up and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ren Zhongyuan, who was thrown to the ground by him.
The ground...is empty?
Liu Jingyun turned around and found that there was indeed no sign of Ren Zhongyuan in the empty stone chamber.
How could a mere mortal escape right under his nose? Liu Jingyun was shocked and angry.
"Hehehe..." A silver bell-like chuckle rang out in the stone chamber, the laughter full of ridicule.
"Who? Get out here!" Liu Jingyun shouted, and his men were not idle either. They quickly released a "Fire Technique" in the direction of the voice.
A ball of fire swept towards the place where the sound came from, showing that Liu Jingyun was furious. After the fire hit nothing, it left a black mark on the stone wall and gradually went out.
How dare you call yourself "Laozi" in front of me? I'll show you why the flowers are so red! Zhou Yuanyuan's face was full of frost. As she flashed out of the Chaos Pearl's trial space, her spiritual power condensed into a giant palm in mid-air and slapped it down on Liu Jingyun's head.
Liu Jingyun felt that he was locked in by a powerful pressure. Before he could see Zhou Yuanyuan clearly, he was knocked unconscious by a giant spiritual palm falling from the sky.
"Master, master, here are the spoils for you." The Chaos Pearl moved quickly. As soon as Liu Jingyun fainted, the ring on his hand was taken off by the Chaos Pearl.
"Be good, Zhuzhu." Zhou Yuanyuan picked up the ring on Chaos Pearl's tiny claws and patted it on the head.
The black ring gave her a cool feeling when she touched it. Before Zhou Yuanyuan could take a closer look, a black mist suddenly burst out from the ring, enveloping her.
"Master!" Chaos Pearl shouted and rushed into the black fog, its thin claws just grabbing the corner of Zhou Yuanyuan's clothes.
A few seconds later, the mist dissipated, and Zhou Yuanyuan and Chaos Pearl were no longer there.
In the valley, Wen Ziqing stood in front of a smooth stone wall. After pondering for half a minute, he stretched out his hands, made a few gestures, and hit the stone wall.
The stone wall produced ripples, and after the ripples subsided, a hole as tall as a person appeared on the stone wall.
"Yes, yes, that's the cave!" Zhou Miaomiao exclaimed, pointing at the dark entrance. If there hadn't been so many people around, Zhou Miaomiao would have thought there was something wrong with her eyes. How could she see a perfectly clear cave entrance as a smooth stone wall? Or was it that the entrance wasn't originally a cave entrance, and Wen Ziqing fiddled with it for a while before it reappeared?
What is this? Is it a magical technique? Zhou Miaomiao stared at Wen Ziqing with sparkling eyes.
Wen Ziqing ignored Zhou Miaomiao, who was chattering nearby, and said to a young soldier behind him, "Xiao Zhang, go notify Captain Meng and Captain Chen and have them bring their men here."
Now that the cave has been found, there is no point in Meng Xiaohu and his team searching.
"Yes." Xiao Zhang saluted Wen Ziqing and ran away quickly.
Five minutes later, Meng Xiaohu and Chen Zhiyong arrived at the cave entrance with their respective search teams. Wen Ziqing made some arrangements and then went in first. This time, except for Meng Xiaohu and a dozen soldiers who stayed outside to support them, everyone else followed Wen Ziqing into the cave.
The cave was dark and the ground was uneven. Fearing some sort of poison trap or other device, Wen Ziqing rushed ahead. His spiritual awareness could cover an area of more than twenty meters, giving him early warning if anything were to happen.
With the faint light of the flashlight in his hand, Wen Ziqing walked inside on the uneven ground.
Zhou Miaomiao did not enter the cave, but stayed outside with Meng Xiaohu and his team of soldiers.
The cave is very deep and there are no signs of human excavation.
Wen Ziqing released his spiritual sense as he walked. After walking for more than ten minutes, he "saw" the hall where people were imprisoned that Zhou Miaomiao had mentioned.
The hall was about 200 square meters, divided into two halves. It had lighting and ventilation. Most of the prisoners were women, with only one or two children.
In the hall on the left, more than twenty women were imprisoned. Some of them were sitting on the ground, their hands clasped around their knees, silently weeping. Others had despair written all over their faces.
In the hall on the right, over fifty people were imprisoned. Each of them had their heads drooped, their shoulders hunched and trembling, or they were mumbling to themselves, looking as if they were daydreaming.
"I can't stand it anymore! I want to go home! Let me out! Let me out!" In the hall on the left, a girl in red who was originally crying stood up, rushed to the fence, and shouted loudly.
Why is it her? Wen Ziqing was stunned.
The girl in red who was shouting was Liu Meiling.
After recognizing Liu Meiling, Wen Ziqing's consciousness could not help but circle around the twenty or so hostages. In addition to Liu Meiling, Wen Ziqing also saw another familiar person: Zhu Xiaojuan.
Wen Ziqing's face was filled with black lines. What was going on? How could these two little girls be so troublesome? Just a few days after summer vacation, they ran away from Kyoto City to Eastern Province, and were even imprisoned in such a place? If they hadn't happened to meet today, these two girls might...
“Wuwuwu…”
"I want to go home, too! I want to go home, too!"
"Let me go home, let me go home..."
After seeing Liu Meiling stand up to fight, Zhu Xiaojuan and two other braver women also ran to the fence and started crying.
The dozen or so other people who were imprisoned in the hall on the left with Liu Meiling and the others also began to cry out. For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of weeping.
The strange thing was that the fifty or so people in the hall on the right seemed not to have heard the cries of these people. They sat there without moving, and the expressions on their faces did not change. They were all in a daze, some in a daze, some in a fool.
"You're looking for death!" A dark and thin man walked out from the passage next to him and shouted at several crying women.
"Brother, brother, please, let me go! My family is rich, I'll ask my parents to give you money!" Liu Meiling cried and yelled. Liu Meiling regretted it so much. She shouldn't have come to such a poor and remote place just to relax. I wonder if her parents at home have discovered that she is missing at this time?
