"But... Brother Yunhao chose to come out and save me with his Copper Skin Realm cultivation, didn't he also succeed!"
The girl pursed her lips, her bright green eyes filled with hope: "If it's Brother Yunhao, I believe there's nothing he can't do!"
"..."
Even with Shen Yunhao's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush upon hearing this, feeling a sense of guilt for deceiving a little girl.
He was quite hesitant when he jumped out to fight the spider demon; he wasn't as brave and fearless as Qing Teng had described!
If it weren't for the life-saving treasure given to me by Zhuli, I'm not sure if I would have dared to jump out...
"Really! Brother Yunhao! Qing Teng has always believed that your appearance was to save our Lingyou Valley!"
The girl's tone was clearly sincere, as if she truly believed that Shen Yunhao, a novice cultivator, could lead Lingyou Valley out of its current predicament.
Looking at the girl's pretty face so close to his own, Shen Yunhao couldn't bring himself to refuse!
She genuinely wanted to save her master!
But all he wanted was to see Zhuli one last time before he died...
A feeling of inferiority arose spontaneously.
Having lived two lives, his fighting spirit and mentality are still inferior to those of a young girl.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yunhao seemed to have his fighting spirit ignited as well, nodding emphatically and saying, "Alright! Since you believe we can do it, then we definitely can! Let's give it a shot, and maybe we'll turn a bicycle into a motorcycle! Let's go!"
At this point, Shen Yunhao waved his hand and, with a determined look on his face, turned and walked towards the other end of the giant vine.
Qing Teng stood behind him, watching Shen Yunhao's back.
A moment later, a slight smile curved the corners of the girl's lips.
"Yes...of course you can do it..."
"Because you are my... Brother Yunhao..."
A hint of something obscure seemed to flash in the girl's usually clear and bright green eyes.
"That's right! Green Vine!"
At this moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly turned his head.
The girl instantly reverted to her usual obedient demeanor: "What's wrong, Brother Yunhao?"
"Which way should Qingmai go?"
"..."
...
Shen Yunhao was unaware that not long after he and Qing Teng went down, a group of people from Lingyou Valley followed the vines and arrived at the spot where they had just stood.
Standing at the very front was a capable young woman with a ponytail, named Green Bamboo.
Green Bamboo pointed to the cave in front of them: "After leaving Green Bamboo Fortress, this is the only passage in and out of Ten Thousand Vine Cave. Dive into the small pool and swim straight to Huai Valley Stream!"
The disciples behind him had complicated expressions: "Are we really going to abandon the Valley Master? If we weren't such a burden, how could the Valley Master have been forced into this situation!"
Green Bamboo's eyes were also red, but she tried her best to maintain a solemn expression and gritted her teeth, saying, "We... cannot let down Master's painstaking efforts! As long as you are still here, the inheritance of Lingyou Valley will not be broken!"
"Alright, go ahead. Once Master gives the instructions, quickly swim through here to Huaigu Ravine. Bai Yang won't have time to deal with you then, so escape the valley as soon as possible!"
"knew!"
"Take care, Senior Sister Green Bamboo!"
"We will find Senior Sister Qing Teng! We will have our day of revenge!"
Only after everyone had entered the cave did the last woman in white gracefully arrive.
"Sister Zhuli..."
Upon seeing this person, Green Bamboo could no longer maintain her composure and burst into tears: "Are we really unable to save Master?!"
“If the Azure Vein can be unsealed, there might still be a chance…” Zhu Li looked down into the cave and sighed, “Unfortunately, apart from the Valley Master, no one can touch the seal, so how can we break it… And the Valley Master is currently unable to free up his hands.”
"Alas, even my master has not been able to solve it after all these years, how could it be accomplished in a short time..."
"Alright, you go in too. Make sure you escape the valley safely!"
At this moment, Green Bamboo suddenly paused, looked up and asked, "Sister Zhuli, aren't you coming with me?"
Zhu Li smiled and shook her head: "I'm leaving, but I can't go with you! The people from the Demonic Sect will definitely keep a close watch on me, and being with me would be the most dangerous thing!"
"..."
"By the way, Green Bamboo, you have to promise your sister something!"
"Yes! Please speak, Sister Zhuli!"
“If…” Zhu Li’s eyes darkened, “If I fail to escape in the end, go to Lin Yuan City of the Tian Yu Dynasty and find a little boy named… Shen Yunhao.”
Green Bamboo listened attentively, sensing the deep reluctance in Zhuli's words.
This little boy must be very important to her!
Zhu Li sighed and pursed her lips, saying, "When you see him, tell him that I... I have family matters to attend to and have already returned to Beihai... I'll come to find him again later!"
Having known each other for so long, this was the first time Green Bamboo had ever seen a single, crystal-clear tear fall from Zhuli's flawless face...
...
Perhaps because they took a shortcut, Shen Yunhao and his companion arrived at the deepest part of the valley in the Wan Teng Cave in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Shen Yunhao then realized that the bottom of the abyss was not as dark and deep as it appeared from above. Instead, it was filled with colorful fluorescent light, like a hidden paradise.
The so-called "shortcut" was nothing more than a spell cast by Qing Teng, which made the vines hanging on the cliff face act like an elevator, steadily sending them down.
"Is this the place of the Ten Thousand Vine Caves? The location of the Azure Vein?"
Shen Yunhao observed his surroundings. The two sides were still covered by vines, which were very close together, forming a narrow valley.
