"I, a humble Taoist, have been traveling here and sensed a soaring resentment, so I have come to offer prayers for its salvation," said the young Taoist, Xuanbing Zhenren, calmly. "It seems that it is you evil heretics who are causing this trouble."
He looked at Qiqi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Young fellow Daoist, step back a bit, leave this to me."
Qi Qi was stunned, looking at this Xuanbing Zhenren who had suddenly appeared.
She could sense that this Xuanbing Zhenren was very powerful.
Moreover, although he looks very young, only in his early twenties, his actual age is definitely older.
Most importantly, she couldn't even see through his facial features.
There are only two possibilities in this situation: either Xuanbing Zhenren's strength far surpasses hers.
The second possibility is that his current appearance is not his true appearance.
Qiqi felt that there might be both possibilities in the situation before her.
Fortunately, the other person seemed to be on their side and was a good person.
Qiqi obediently moved to Huo Yuwei's side, grabbed his hand and shook it.
Huo Yuwei understood and gave Bai Xuan and Hu Ying a wink. The three of them stepped aside so as not to hinder Xuanbing Zhenren.
With a flick of his whisk, Xuanbing Zhenren conjured countless ice crystals from thin air, which transformed into ice blades that shot toward the three envoys!
The three envoys dared not be negligent and responded with all their might.
The aftershocks of their fight shook the entire warehouse area, threatening to collapse it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two were trembling and no one was paying attention to them, Bai Xuan whispered to Qi Qi and the others, "Let's retreat first!"
The three men and one tiger quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Huo Yuwei immediately checked Hu Ying's injuries.
The silver needle was poisoned, and Tiger Eagle fell into a coma as soon as he returned. Now he lies on the bed with a weak breath.
"Big Meow..."
With red eyes, Qiqi took out the best antidote pill and fed it to Hu Ying.
If it weren't for saving her, Da Miao wouldn't have been so badly injured.
After the antidote was administered, Tiger Eagle's complexion improved somewhat.
Qiqi then fed him a handful of various pills to help him recover, as if she wanted to make up for the tiger eagle's health in one go.
Bai Xuan stood by the window, cautiously observing the outside.
"Who is this Xuanbing Zhenren? Have you heard of him?"
Qiqi shook her head; she knew very little about the mystical arts of this world.
I got to know a few people by chance, but none of them were very strong. The most powerful ones were the elders and the president of the Xuanmen sect in Beijing.
However, none of them are as powerful as that Xuanbing Zhenren.
“I’ve heard of him.” Surprisingly, Huo Yuwei actually knew him. “It’s said that he’s a top expert among the younger generation of Xuanmen in the capital, who travels around all year round, punishing evil and eliminating wickedness, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. But why would he be here?”
“No matter what, he helped us, so he must be a good person,” Qiqi said, tilting her little face up.
Qiqi said the other person was a good person, and Huo Yuwei believed her.
He nodded, his expression grave. "But now that our identities have been exposed, we must leave immediately. Otherwise, once the Netherworld Sect has time to spare, we might not be able to leave even if we wanted to."
"No, we haven't rescued those children yet." Qiqi shook her head vigorously.
She has only unlocked part of the lock; there are still many children she cannot rescue.
If they leave, those children will definitely be in danger.
"But……"
"Big brother, listen!" Qiqi suddenly perked up her ears.
The sounds of fierce fighting and alarms came from afar, and the entire Black Mist Valley was in turmoil.
Bai Xuan sensed it for a moment, then his expression changed.
"It's True Person Xuanbing. He seems to be fighting with an extremely powerful expert. Judging from his aura, he should be the Netherworld Cult Master."
"Besides him, there are others, and they all seem to be from the Xuanmen!" Qiqi also released her divine sense, and her eyes lit up after sensing them. "They all seem to be from the Xuanmen. Has reinforcements from the Xuanmen arrived?"
Her spiritual power was insufficient, and her perception was not very clear in such a chaotic scene, so she looked to Bai Xuan for help.
Bai Xuan nodded. "Yes, it should be."
Huo Yuwei made a quick decision: "This is a great opportunity. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos and go to the dungeon to rescue them?"
"Okay!" Qiqi clapped her hands. "Big brother, Xiaobai, let's go quickly."
Bai Xuan looked worriedly at Hu Ying, who was still unconscious on the bed. "What should we do with Hu Ying?"
"Don't worry, I have a way!" Qiqi said, taking out a modified version of the Qiankun Talisman from her bag.
"This is a new version I just improved. It can not only store items, but also live animals. I haven't tested it yet, so I'll try it out with Big Meow."
After saying that, he slapped the Qiankun Talisman on Tiger Eagle's forehead.
The huge man instantly turned into a white light and was absorbed into the talisman.
Qiqi put the Qiankun Talisman containing the tiger eagle into her bag, patted it, and said, "Let's get moving."
"Okay, let's go!"
***
The night sky over Black Mist Valley was illuminated by various magical lights, with thunder, ice howls, seas of fire, and all sorts of ghostly wails intertwined together.
The battle between Xuanbing Zhenren and Youming Jiaozhu also reached a fever pitch. The two fought from the ground into the air, and the collision of ice and fire made the entire valley tremble.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Yuwei and his two companions quickly made their way towards the dungeon.
Bai Xuan led the way, Huo Yuwei carried Qi Qi on his back, and the three of them walked in the shade to avoid direct confrontation with the battlefield as much as possible.
“Most of the guards in the valley have been drawn to the main battlefield.” Bai Xuan sensed the surrounding atmosphere. “But there must still be some forces left behind in the dungeon. We need to act quickly.”
Qiqi lay on Huo Yuwei's back, her little hands tightly wrapped around his neck.
"Don't worry, Qiqi has almost figured out the connections between their locking formations! You guys hold off those guards and give Qiqi twenty minutes. Qiqi will definitely be able to unlock all the locking formations!"
This time, we must rescue all the children!
They avoided the main roads and proceeded along the paths that Huo Yuwei had scouted out in the past few days.
They encountered several groups of believers rushing to the battlefield along the way, but they cleverly evaded them all.
Ten minutes later, the dungeon entrance appeared before them.
Sure enough, there were twice as many guards as usual. Eight men in black robes stood guard outside the stone gate, vigilantly observing the battle in the distance.
"Should we force our way in or outsmart them?" Huo Yuwei asked in a low voice.
Bai Xuan thought for a moment, "Let's use strategy first. I'll disguise myself as the Three-Eyed Envoy and give the order to move the offerings, while you sneak in. If we're discovered, we'll force our way in."
It's best to avoid alerting the enemy if possible.
"Okay, we'll do it your way!"
Bai Xuan put his mask back on, straightened his robes, and strode toward the dungeon entrance.
"Greetings, Seven Venerable Envoys!" The guards hurriedly bowed, but their eyes were full of suspicion as they looked at Bai Xuan.
A large number of Xuanmen cultivators suddenly stormed into Black Mist Valley, and the sect leader even got into a fight with their leader.
It is said that the other Venerable Envoys are also over there. How come the seven Venerable Envoys have time to come to the dungeon?
Bai Xuan mimicked the anxious tone of the three-eyed masked man, "Quick! The Xuanmen is launching a major attack! The sect leader has ordered that all offerings be moved to the backup secret passage immediately! Where are the Six Venerables?"
