Anyone who can kidnap Xu Chi must have a good level of cultivation, and Yan Yu's Wuwang method is extremely powerful. If it weren't for Jin Nanfeng's help, Tu Nian would never be sure of success.
Jin Nanfeng nodded in agreement, then said to Yu Wenyi, "Third Princess, you go back first."
"No." Yuwen Yiyi frowned, "I want to go with you."
"Yi Yi," Tu Nian pulled her hand and said in a deep voice, "Listen to me and go back first."
Yuwen Yiyi wanted to say something, but seeing Tu Nian's slightly heavy expression, he finally swallowed his words back.
"I understand. I'll go back to the snow and wait for you."
Tu Nian squeezed her palm with satisfaction, then turned to look at Jin Nanfeng, "Big Brother."
Jin Nanfeng circulated his spiritual power, a cold breath swept over, and a spiritual sword that was completely transparent and azure blue appeared under his feet.
That was his sword, Ice Rain.
"Tianzhu Mountain?"
"Um."
After confirming the destination, Jin Nanfeng took Tu Nian's sword and left.
…
Halfway up Tianzhu Mountain, in a cave beneath a pile of rubble, a woman's suppressed cry of pain suddenly rang out.
Xie Chi's spiritual power was sealed, and the meridians in his body could not be repaired. His blood rushed up and he spit out blood with a "wow" sound. Only then did he barely recover a bit.
Inside the cave, a woman with her hair in a bun and dressed in apricot-colored clothes slowly approached the dying Xie Chi who was leaning against the rock wall.
"Sister, you are worthy of being the Sect Master's personal disciple. You have mastered the art of concealment to such an amazing degree. For seven whole days, if it weren't for this jade pendant, I really wouldn't have been able to find you."
Seeing the other party jokingly fiddling with the jade locket that symbolized their sisterly love, Chi Chi's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"Sister Wu Shuang, are you really going to kill me?"
"I don't mean to kill you."
Suddenly stepping forward and pinching her chin, Wu Shuang said in an icy tone, "You are the one who wants to take everything from me. The favor from the Sect Master himself was passed down in the past, and the spot for the Grand Competition was also given."
Rudely twisting her chin to the side, Wu Shuang snorted softly, "You're too popular now, and you've been given tasks you shouldn't have. I'm just using someone else to teach you one last lesson."
Xu Chi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I expected that the Gong family would take action against me sooner or later, and I was also wary of the news in the pavilion...but this person happened to be you."
Wu Shuang sneered, "Do you think I will show mercy if you say this?"
"No, things have come to this point, it's all my fault for not taking your feelings into consideration."
He sighed weakly and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate. "Since you and I have entered the misty rain, this day will come sooner or later. It's not bad to die in your hands. Go ahead."
"Stop pretending here. I'm telling you, you brought this upon yourself."
Wu Shuang said impatiently, then a short dagger slipped out of his sleeve and stabbed straight into her neck.
"boom--"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the cave, and the huge rocks outside were split into two neatly as if someone was cutting tofu.
Huge rocks fell and hit the ground outside the cave. The whole cave shook violently for a moment, causing Wu Shuang's knife to deflect and only injure half of Xu Chi's face.
Who is that?
The moment the boulder shattered, a powerful spiritual energy poured into the cave. Wu Shuang looked up in panic and saw two vague figures standing at the entrance of the cave, as if they were about to go in. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she immediately activated her Wuwang Fa to its maximum. She wiped the blood off the dagger with her backhand and wanted to escape with Xie Chi in the chaos.
However, she obviously underestimated the cultivation level of the person who came.
Just as she stretched out her hand towards Xie Chi, a gust of wind came from the cave entrance in an instant. It was invisible and colorless, without even a sound, but it was so strong that it directly knocked her hand away, and even carried her and her away half a foot. However, Xie Chi, who was only a few inches away from her, was safe and sound.
Hiding among the rubble while holding his almost shattered arm, Wu Shuang gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the pain and remain silent, while a sense of fear arose in his heart.
Such strong control! She had almost never seen anyone who could control spiritual power so precisely. At the moment, she could only think of their leader who would appear here.
Could it be that the leader intends to protect her?
Before Wu Shuang could think about it, a clear female voice echoed in the cave, "I advise you not to touch Chen Chi. Otherwise, if she gets hurt in the slightest, I will make sure you pay with your life."
Xu Chi was dazed by the earth-shaking noise just now. He only came to his senses when he heard her voice. He replied in a weak voice: "Tu Nian?"
"The person is here!"
Hearing the voice of Xu Chi, Tu Nian was overjoyed. He followed the sound with the light of the fire talisman and soon found Xu Chi who was lying beside the stone wall.
Xu Chi hid from Wu Shuang for seven days, that is, he did not eat a single grain of rice for seven whole days. He only relied on the water seeping from the rock wall to maintain his life. He was so thin that Tu Nian felt distressed for a while.
"Tu Nian..."
Xu Chi struggled to get up, but was supported by Tu Nian.
"Don't talk yet. Put this in your mouth and don't swallow it."
Xu Chi only felt that a cold bead was stuffed into her mouth, and then a cold air flowed into her body from the bottom of her tongue, nourishing her disrupted meridians. In just a few breaths, her injuries were almost healed.
Tu Nian didn't waste any time. He fed the snow pill to Xu Chi and sent out more than ten talismans in succession, completely sealing the entire cave.
After settling Xu Chi down, Tu Nian stood up and said to the cave: "Miss, do you want to come out now, or wait for me to pull you out? Let me tell you, if I don't see you today, I will blow this place up. Miss, you can give it a try. If you can step out of this place, I will be considered incompetent."
In fact, Tu Nian didn't need to say anything. As soon as she put down those talismans, Wu Shuang had already tried to get out. However, Tu Nian had invested a lot of money this time. She threw more than a dozen Tushan talismans around like they were free. It was impossible for her, a mere middle-stage Jindan cultivator, to get out.
Besides, even if she could really run away, would Jin Nanfeng let her go?
Claiming that he didn't have such good luck, Wu Shuang put away the Wuwang Fa and slowly walked out from behind a pile of rocks.
"I, Yanyu, always keep my business in mind. This is money earned for the public, so why should you kill me?"
Tu Nian raised an eyebrow and said, "Young lady, you are holding that jade ring and saying this. Are you looking at me as if I am a fool?"
Wu Shuang didn't expect that a single sentence would cause her to lose the conversation. She simply stopped pretending and sneered at Xu Chi, "You are really good at playing both sides."
"What are you embarrassed about?"
Tu Nian moved half a body length to the side to stand between her and Xu Chi, and said, "If she was skilled enough, she wouldn't have run into you."
Wu Shuang pursed her lips, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Tu Nian said, "I only have one question. Answer it and I'll let you go."
