Gradually, some sand seeped through the wall and leaked out. After a round hole appeared in the wall, a human face and nose appeared first, and then a foot stepped out from inside. The person pushed out, and a large hole was broken in the entire wall.
Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow, looking at the person who came out. The young man was dressed in black, with outstanding looks and unparalleled elegance. He saw Xu Yuehuai and Yueying not far away, walked up and greeted them, "Hey, hello there, are you together? Do you mind if I come along?"
Xu Yuehuai looked at the boy's bright eyes, his face and back covered in dust. She was very curious about how this boy had managed to carve a hole in such a hard wall.
"Are you all alone?" Yueying was the first to notice something was wrong.
The boy smiled and said nonchalantly, "No, that person is dead."
“But I didn’t kill her.” Xu Yuehuai was originally prepared to be wary of the boy in front of him, but the next second he clarified, “When I went in, her spiritual power was not enough, and then she stayed inside for so long without being able to breathe, and then she died.”
Xu Yuehuai didn't show any particular expression after hearing this.
She raised her hand in a gesture of respect to the two of them, then said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Xu Yuehuai continued walking in that direction, and fortunately, she heard Ji Yue's voice not far away.
However, there was a dispute among the people inside, including Ji Yue.
"Didn't we agree that we would take turns? I've already attacked that door once, shouldn't it be your turn now?" Ji Yue's voice was cold and her tone was unpleasant. Her breathing was rapid, clearly indicating that there wasn't enough air in the room.
The reason why the air in the room where Xu Yuehuai and the others were was so quickly dissipated was because Xu Yuehuai had lit a large fire.
"Hmph, when did I make any agreement with you? You'd better get back to work now, or don't blame me for being ruthless later. In the end, all that will be left is your corpse." The man's tone was very arrogant, and from their conversation, it was clear that Ji Yue was not in good condition.
Xu Yuehuai's face darkened. She and Ji Yue weren't exactly best friends, but they had a decent relationship.
Ji Yue swallowed her anger. She had no choice but to obey the man. She stood up from the ground, walked to the iron gate, and continued to attack the gate with her spiritual power.
Based on the volume and movement of the sound, Xu Yuehuai deduced that Ji Yue was some distance away from the wall.
The man was right next to the wall.
She smiled, thinking, "This is heaven's help!"
The next second, Xu Yuehuai took out two talismans and hit them against the wall. The talismans exploded, and the wall was blown open.
The man behind the wall was thrown a considerable distance by the explosion, his back covered in blood.
Ji Yue was startled, but when she turned around and saw that it was Xu Yuehuai, the weight that had been hanging over her heart was lifted.
She thanked Xu Yuehuai, then looked at the man who was blown to pieces, and said, "You deserve to die."
The man struggled, finally coming to his senses. He tried to stand up, threatening Ji Yue menacingly, "I advise you to behave yourself and not lay a hand on me, or you'd better watch out whether your family can afford the consequences of killing me!"
The man seemed to come from some prominent family, but Xu Yuehuai didn't recognize him and didn't care. She said to Ji Yue, "There aren't many people out now, so no one can hear your conversation. If you kill him now, no one will know except me."
At the same time, Xu Yuehuai glanced at the positions of Yueying and the others to confirm that they were not there before looking at Ji Yue again.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yue summoned her spirit sword and slashed at the man. With a flash of light, the man's head was severed, and the blood that fell to the ground was absorbed by something unknown on the ground in a short while.
"It's a pity you still died."
Ji Yue's tone was icy, and her eyes held a murderous intent that Xu Yuehuai had never seen before.
The man's eyes were wide open before he died.
After Xu Yuehuai found Ji Yue, he took Ji Yue back to the starting position. When Cixi saw them coming, she hurriedly came over from the other side.
He jogged over to them, first looking Ji Yue up and down to see if she was injured, and then asked, "Are you alright? I've searched all over here. I was worried something had happened to you since you hadn't come over for so long."
The corridor was very long, and as the distance increased, it became impossible to see what the rooms in the distance were like.
"It's nothing, I just took care of some things and was a little delayed. But I was wondering why you came out so early. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem that smart." Ji Yue reverted to her usual carefree demeanor when talking to Cixi.
Cixi looked up proudly and said, "This is all thanks to our Sister Xu! If it weren't for her, I would have suffocated in that space."
Suddenly, Cixi noticed bloodstains on Ji Yue's skirt and asked, "Where did you get this blood? Were you bullied just now?"
Xu Yuehuai couldn't understand what kind of emotions were between the two of them.
Her hands hung down naturally, and as her skirt swayed, she accidentally touched the jade pendant at her waist, which was now frighteningly hot.
Xu Yuehuai picked up the jade pendant and examined it closely; it had countless cracks on it.
Xu Yuehuai recalled that she had used blood to restore the jade pendant to its original state last time.
Realizing this, she immediately used a dagger to cut her palm, and blood flowed uncontrollably from her hand, dripping onto the jade pendant.
The jade pendant couldn't absorb all the blood in a short time, and a lot of it spilled onto the ground.
Those who cultivate spirituality are very sensitive to the smell of blood. After smelling it, the two turned their heads and saw Xu Yuehuai self-harming. They both panicked and cried out, "Sister Xu! What are you doing! Quickly, quickly bandage yourself!"
Cixi now treats Xu Yuehuai as a good friend, without any airs, and panicked when she saw Xu Yuehuai's hand bleeding.
He quickly took out some hemostatic powder from his storage space and wanted to sprinkle it on her wound.
Xu Yuehuai dodged away, saying, "Wait, I have something to do."
When Cixi heard her speak, her eyes calmed down a bit, and she carefully observed Xu Yuehuai's actions. Seeing her dripping blood onto the jade pendant, she didn't quite understand what she was doing.
Could it be that she was using her own blood to nurture a jade pendant spirit? But Cixi didn't understand what use such a jade pendant spirit would have.
Seeing that the cracks on the surface were gradually healing, Xu Yuehuai finally felt relieved.
