Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 69: The Road to Return

Wuzhan found that the water in the pool in the cave was clear, and thought that there must be a spring under the pool, so he went to the pool to look for it. Sure enough, he found the water inlet and outlet. He came up with a plan and went into the house to take out Xun Qingrou's bag. When Jiang Yuan chopped down the sword, the door shook violently. He took the opportunity to block the water outlet. The water surface quickly overflowed the pool and gradually covered the ground. When the water rose above the knees, Wuzhan covered the black jade coffin in the water, moved it to the pool to cover the water outlet, and took advantage of the water not yet covering the coffin to move the coffin to the door with the help of buoyancy. The coffin was very heavy, but its volume was relatively large. Although the weight was reduced a lot, it was very difficult for Wuzhan to push it, and he almost fainted. When he pushed the second sarcophagus, Qin Moyao stood up, said nothing, and pushed the sarcophagus with him. They piled all the twelve sarcophagi at the door. After a long time, the water level slowly rose. The two of them grabbed the stalactite wall and floated on the water. As the water level gradually rose, in the end, the two of them could touch the glowing stalagmites on the top of the cave with their hands. The entire space was filled with water. Wuzhan felt that the time had come, so he dived underwater, turned on the counter switch of the stone door, swam to the back wall of the stone house, and waited for the door to be opened from outside.

Wuzhan didn't know if this would allow them to escape, but it was necessary to teach the people outside a lesson.

There are many forks in the cave, the light is dim, it is shady and chilly, there are many stalagmites and hideous rocks, it is like walking in the belly of a monster, there are poisonous insects occasionally, and they will avoid it if they see it.

When Wuzhan walked onto the bare rock, he slipped again and nearly fell into the stream a foot below. He hugged the rock tightly, his clothes were torn. After a long while, he gasped and said, "Don't follow me. Hurry up. Xiao Yuzhen will catch up with us soon."

Qin Moyao said coldly: "Why should I be afraid of being chased? I won't die as long as you are here!"

Wuzhan smiled bitterly and said, "I am such a useless person that I can't even walk properly. How can you be angry with me? You should leave quickly and return to Emei. They must be very worried that you haven't been back for so long."

Qin Moyao snorted and said sarcastically, "Don't say you are a useless person anymore. If you are a useless person, then what am I? I am a person who even useless people look down upon. You are a noble person. You are not tempted by temptation and do not take advantage of it. Your reputation will soon spread and will be passed down through the ages as a good story. I will also benefit from your fame and become a woman that no one would want to touch even if they were poisoned. You have preserved my chastity and given me a wonderful life. I should thank you!"

Wuzhan gritted his teeth and got up, sighing: "This problem is easy to solve. You can say whatever you want, even say that I'm not a normal person. I don't care." He continued to walk forward.

Qin Moyao stared at Wuzhe for a moment, then giggled and said, "You are indeed not a normal person!" and continued to follow behind.

……

Wuzhan stumbled and slipped in the cave, walking very slowly, but after walking for nearly half an hour, he found a dazzling light coming in from the top of the cave. There was still a cave in front of him with no end in sight. Wuzhan squinted his eyes to check the terrain. The exposed cave roof was only an arm's width, and there was a rugged rock wall more than ten feet high below. He could climb out of the cave from the top along the rock wall.

Wuzhan walked to the foot of the stone wall without hesitation and began to climb up. His movements were very slow, but it was indeed easier for him to climb than to walk on the road, because he had been climbing for eight years. He thought of Master Zitan, and even more so of the cooked pheasant.

Qin Moyao still followed behind him until he climbed out of the cave. As soon as Wuzhan came out of the cave, he lay down beside the exit, gasping for breath, looking up at the dazzling blue sky and white clouds. Qin Moyao stood with her hands behind her back, looking around, as if in another world. The breeze blew, her clothes fluttered, and her black hair became soft.

The surrounding mountains were rugged, ravines were crisscrossed, birds were flying, and trees were lush and green. Not far away was a towering cliff, the Cliff of Love, and below the cliff was a deep rift, like a wound in the earth. Chi Lin had seen many changes in the world, and they unexpectedly appeared at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Mountains again.

Qin Moyao murmured softly: "The Cliff of Love Suicide, the Valley of Broken Souls!" It was unclear whether she was sighing or feeling sad.

Wuzhan fell on his back on the ground and did not get up for a long time. He said, "They will find us soon. The reason I crawled out was to get some fresh air. They will come to pick me up soon. I really can't walk anymore. You go!" The implication of his words was self-evident.

Qin Moyao looked at Wuzhan and said with a smile: "How about I take you to fly down this Soul-breaking Valley?"

Wuzhan sat up and said, "It's a good idea, but it's too dangerous. I'm afraid that if I don't die from the fall, it would be bad if I lose some limbs."

Qin Moyao lowered her head and asked, "You beg me to take you away from here?"

Wuzhan stood up and slowly walked towards the Cliff of Suicide, saying calmly: "I never ask for help from anyone. Hurry up and leave, they are already here!"

I heard someone shouting from the bottom of the mountain: "Where are they!"

Several figures quickly chased after him. They were people from Songshan and Lushan. Longquan was the fastest, and he caught up with Wuzhan after a while. He stretched out his hand, tightly grasped Wuzhan's arm, and laughed, "Little Taoist friend, please stay. I have something to ask you."

Wuzhe was unable to move, and said calmly: "The master has already asked, and I have already answered, what else is unclear?"

Longquan smiled and said, "I understand that the situation forces me to speak insincerely. You can rest assured that I can guarantee your safety."

……

At this time, Yu Guizhou, Chang Bu Yu and others also caught up and came to Qin Moyao. They asked anxiously at the same time: "Miss Qin, are you okay?" After that, the two of them glanced at each other, quite embarrassed and quite hostile. They looked at Qin Moyao carefully, wishing they could pull up her sleeves to look at the toad blood on her arm.

Qin Moyao said calmly: "I'm fine!" Her demeanor returned to normal, and she looked very charming.

After hearing Qin Moyao's answer, the two felt relieved, but they still didn't understand how they got rid of the spring poison, and what "it's okay" meant. It was not convenient to ask directly about such things, so they could only bear it. Chang Buyu looked at Wuzhan, wishing he could kill Wuzhan to vent his anger.

Yu Guizhou clasped his fists towards Qin Moyao and said, "It is not advisable to stay here for long. I will escort Miss Qin away!"

Chang Buyu said: "With Songshan here, why bother you?"

... "I'd like to see how you can ensure his safety?" As he spoke, Xiao Yuzhen, Ping Qingjue, Jiang Yuan and others had already appeared in front of him.

Yu Guizhou and others drew their swords, protected Qin Moyao, and looked at Xiao Yuzhen coldly.

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Longquan, if you know what's best for you, just hand that kid over to me. You can't take him away!"

Longquan looked around and saw that they were surrounded, with the stone cliff behind them. He sneered, "He is in my hands now. Naturally, I will hand him over to you after I have asked him all the questions. Don't get too close!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "That kid doesn't have what you want, so don't dream about it. If you lose your life, it will be more trouble than gain."

Longquan smiled and said, "He has what you want, but doesn't he have what we have lost?"

Jiang Yuan said: "This is easy. As long as you hand the boy over to me, our Taoist friend Ghost Eye will know the answer after a quick investigation. You can rest assured that when he performs the spell, he will narrate everything he sees and will not hide anything."

Longquan saw the current situation and it would be difficult for him to take Wuzhan away if Jiang Yuan and Xiao Yuzhen joined forces. If Wuzhan really didn't know any secret method, it would be a loss for him. It would be better to go with the flow and do him a favor. Besides, Wuzhan was tight-lipped and he might not be able to get the truth out of him. If he let the 'ghost eye' check, maybe he could get the truth. Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time!" He pushed Wuzhan over with his arm.

Jiang Yuan flew up and caught Wuzhan, then slowly landed on the ground. He shook his head and smiled, “If we can’t find out, we’ll just bury it in the ground!”

Ping Qingjue said solemnly: "You must remember what you said!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Sword God, please rest assured, I will do what I say!" He pressed the Wuzhan acupoint and pressed him to the ground.

At this time, most of the people who had come before had rushed over again. In addition, the six elders of the Baiyue Gang came over with more than a hundred people in strange costumes. These more than a hundred people were urgently summoned after receiving Xiao Yuzhen's order.

They came to Xiao Yuzhen, knelt down, and said in unison: "We are late in protecting you, please forgive us, Holy Mother!"

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "It's just in time. Stand up!" After the Baiyue gang members stood up, they stood behind the Virgin Mary and surrounded all the factions.

The Taoist with the "ghost eyes" had a black mole on his chin, with a tuft of black hair growing on the mole. He pulled the black hair and walked in front of Wuzhan with a smile. He stood and sat with Wuzhan, so that their eyes could look at each other at eye level.

Things have come to this point, Wuzhan is powerless. All eyes are on him, and no one cares about his safety. At this moment, his heart is much calmer and he doesn't think about anything. He simply lets the red-eyed Taoist in front of him investigate.

The Taoist with Ghost Eyes made seals with his hands and chanted some incantation, just like a group of flies buzzing. After a moment, his eyes turned blood red, as if he had been possessed by a demon, and were terrifying.

With a "puff" sound, a ray of red light shot into Wuzhan's beautiful eyes, and his four eyes closed at the same time. After that, Wuzhan knew nothing and was as peaceful as if he was in a dream.

Suddenly a girl shouted from the crowd: "No barriers!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a pretty young girl in light yellow clothes, with tears in her eyes, and as beautiful as a flower. She was about to rush over with five people, but was stopped by the Baiyue gang and could not get close. Next to her was a tall and strong man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a fierce light in his eyes.

They are the Huashan disciples, Xia Kexin, Bai Haotian and others.

……

Ever since Wuzhan was taken away by Qingyang, Bai Haotian also left Huashan. After Xia Kexin buried her father, she took four Huashan disciples to search for the two men. She accidentally heard that a person with no cultivation had unlocked the seal of Xingtian and fell into Xiao Yuzhen's hands. The person described by him looked very much like Wuzhan, so she rushed there. Unexpectedly, she met him on the way and heard the news that the eldest brother who wanted to save Wuzhan was here.

How could Bai Haotian not have his junior sister in his heart, and how could he forget the grace of his master in raising him? It was just that he could not accept his own life experience for a while. With the persuasion of his junior brother, their relationship gradually eased along the way.

……

But with so many people and so many masters in front of them, the Huashan disciples had no way of getting close to Wuzhan, let alone saving him. They could only watch Wuzhan being cast a spell by the dwarf.

……

Xia Kexin's cries could no longer be heard by Wu Zhan!
……

Qin Moyao looked at Xia Kexin intently. From her anxious eyes, she could see the woman's thoughts and her resentment was growing deeper and deeper.
