“You…” Yang Wei’s face flushed red. He glanced at Rong Yu again, seemingly hesitant, and forced himself to calm down before saying, “In Gefeng Town, it was my father who took my soul.”
"..."
"..."
Geng Qi recalled the "corpse" he had seen at the time. He stared in shock. It was clear that the soul being taken was not voluntary. Although the person had come back to life, the fear he had felt at the time must still be there.
Is it because he's afraid that he wants to stop the sect's plan?
Dude, are you kidding me?
Although it is indeed a good thing for them.
Rong Yu asked, "Do you know what's inside?"
Yang Wei shook his head: "I don't know. They never let me get close to this place, but my father and the sect leader often come here."
With a crisp crack, a melon seed broke between Geng's teeth. He pointed ahead and said, "Why don't we go in and see for ourselves?"
Yang Wei was taken aback: "Which way?"
They were just hesitating about which way to go when they suddenly heard a noise, so they just randomly found a place to hide.
Geng Qi cracked open a melon seed shell, tossed it aside, and it transformed into a cluster of flames that landed on the ground. He selected the middle path, lifted his foot, and said, "Let's go."
Rong Yu followed closely behind.
Su Mo'er rubbed her cold arms and followed behind her grandmaster without hesitation.
The passage was not narrow. Geng Qi walked in front, and the sound of him cracking melon seeds was even more crisp and loud in the open space, even a little jarring. The two behind him did not feel dissatisfied, because the melon seed shells that were "randomly" thrown in front would spontaneously combust before landing and would not go out for a long time. This could drive away the chill brought by the Soul Locking Stone and would not accidentally hurt anyone.
Rong Yu lagged half a step behind, and seeing that his hands were still moving, he couldn't help but say after holding back for a long time, "Eating too much of this will cause internal heat."
Geng Qi originally wanted to say that he would fall asleep if he didn't eat, but suddenly a thought popped into his head. He turned his head, flicked his finger, and lit a cluster of purple flames at his fingertip. He leaned closer and teased, "How can this thing be used?"
The flame flickered on his fingers, as if in agreement.
Rong Yu was taken aback, suddenly realizing the meaning behind his words, and even stopped in his tracks.
Geng Qi didn't expect him to react so strongly. He was about to make a joke when he suddenly raised his hand and looked closer, as if he had discovered something amazing.
"So I wasn't mistaken last time?"
He widened his eyes slightly, and under the purple light, a blush spread from Rong Yu's handsome face to his ears, and even seemed to be moving down to his neck.
The two people behind them didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing Geng Qi's expression, they couldn't help but be aroused.
Su Mo'er peeked out, wanting to see what was on her grandmaster's face.
Rong Yu suddenly frowned, raised his hand and grabbed his fingers, extinguishing the flame in his hand. Instantly, everything went dark, but then someone's very pleasant chuckle rang out.
Although Geng Qi knew that most people with high cultivation levels were detached from worldly desires, he never expected Rong Yu to be so pure-hearted.
What would such a person be like if they fell in love?
He laughed wildly, and was about to light up the cave again, but his right index finger was still being held and he couldn't pull it out.
"Let's go." His voice was calm, a stark contrast to his flushed face.
Geng Qi: "..."
With one finger being held by him, he decisively begged for mercy, "No... Brother Rong Yu, I'm not laughing anymore, please let go of me, okay?"
The people in front remained unmoved.
The people behind looked around blankly.
Fortunately, the cave was flat, and with someone leading the way, lighting was not needed.
Geng Qi was still thinking about how to escape when the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
After a moment of silence, Rong Yu said, "Lighting."
"Then let go of me."
"..."
With his fingers finally freed, Geng Qi conjured a large ball of fire that instantly illuminated the entire space. However, this illumination was worse than no illumination at all, as it was met with countless pairs of eyes, their pupils blood red, their hearts and breaths ceaseless, their faces pale, staring straight at them from different directions.
Even Geng Qi, who had been to haunted houses without fear, was startled when he saw these creatures.
"Just how many of these monstrous things has your Yandan Sect made?"
Yang Wei was even more frightened than him, and stammered, unable to speak.
The worst part was that those things seemed to be awakened by the light and had already pounced on them.
"What are you standing there for! Run! Lure these things out!"
Geng Qi shoved the two men behind him, shouting as he ran, "You surnamed Yang, did you deliberately lure us in here?"
Yang Wei angrily retorted, "I won't drag myself into this!"
He didn't want to die!
Geng Qi clicked his tongue, and hearing the approaching footsteps behind him, he grabbed Yang Wei and said to Rong Yu, "Come on, you."
Su Mo'er, who had fallen, was quickly led out of the cave by Rong Yu. The four of them stood at the cave entrance. The commotion here had already revealed their whereabouts, and the people from Yan Dan Sect also surrounded them from not far away.
Having just stirred up a hornet's nest, Geng Qi was immediately surrounded and besieged. He cursed inwardly when suddenly a beam of light came from afar, carrying the force of thunder, and went straight into the Yan Dan Sect's camp, exploding with a loud bang.
The Yan Dan Sect disciples who were hanging above the group were shaken and fell down like rain. Before Geng Qi's surprise had faded, a white-robed youth descended from the sky in front of him.
"Young master."
Looking at his youthful and innocent face, and then at the Yan Dan Sect disciple who had been knocked down by him in one move, Geng Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "Qing Han? What brings you here?"
