Apart from Tian Ning, Jiang Xi, Long Aotian, and their master, everyone else, including the Wang family and the fake city lord, were with Fu Hongming. Long Aotian, worried about them, didn't want to leave.
"Fourth Senior Brother, don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister still have coffins," Tian Ning said.
If something really happens, just hide in a coffin.
Recalling the solid quality of the coffin when Xuanyuan was destroyed, Long Aotian felt much more at ease; he had indeed panicked just now.
Tianning knew that although his fourth senior brother seemed carefree on the surface, he cared deeply about the people around him.
Just like the second time they met, even though his cultivation was constantly regressing and he was no match for his senior brother, he still insisted on taking beatings every night to protect his master. And back in the Long family, the senior brothers and sisters at Sword Protection Mountain were actually very kind people…
As Shi Qinxin had instructed, they split into two groups and proceeded in opposite directions down the cliff.
Most of the spirit beasts were lured away by Fu Hongming's group, and only a small number from Tianning's side followed.
Before coming down, Fu Hongming gave Jiang Xi the pendant he had taken from the fake city lord, and it was unclear whether it was the pendant's effect.
On the way forward, Chiu Chiu kept poking Tian Ning's head every now and then.
This has been the case ever since I went down the cliff.
Chirp seemed to sense a real avian spirit beast, indicating that this direction was approaching it.
Long Aotian: "..."
Keep thinking like this, junior sister, doesn't your head start buzzing?
Long Aotian muttered to Jiang Xi in a low voice, "That's a phoenix's beak. Won't our junior sister get gory?"
Jiang Xi: "..."
Tianning said seriously, "Chirp chirps very lightly."
In response, the little sparrow fluttered its wings and flew to the top of Long Aotian's head, tapping three times.
Long Aotian: "!!!"
Long Aotian clutched his head in pain; this was by no means light.
Jiang Xi: "Pfft..."
Perhaps this lightness only applies to the junior sister with maxed-out defense.
The three men pulled the coffin forward for a long time.
The surrounding walls narrowed, the ice crystals in front of them decreased, and the green liquid increased, giving people a very bad feeling.
Jiang Xi couldn't see, and Long Aotian worriedly wanted to persuade his junior sister not to go any further, as the place looked very unsafe.
But Qiuqiu went against him, and Zhuo Tianning pondered even more.
Long Aotian: "..."
"Second senior brother, fourth senior brother, someone is crying."
Tian Ning spoke softly, gesturing for the two to listen carefully.
“It’s a man,” Jiang Xi pointed ahead.
Worried that the sound of the coffin being dragged on the ground would disturb the other party, Long Aotian carried the entire coffin on his back.
The three continued forward and entered a small cave, where the man's cries and pleas for mercy grew clearer:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It was my fault, please stop torturing me, let me die! Let me die..."
The owner of the voice seemed to be suffering inhuman torment, in unbearable pain.
As Tianning and Long Aotian approached, they also saw the man's face, which was exactly the same as the fake city lord's!
