Chapter 357: Met Me

Finally, Yue Liu added, "You can take some time to consider it."

"I want to know who you are," Yuan Yao said, not understanding him.

Yue Liu seemed lost in ancient memories, "I am a person from over five hundred years ago, named Yue Liu. I am the young master of the Yue family on the First Continent, the top of that generation's Tian Jiaocheng ranking. My enemies come from the opposite side of Tian Jiaocheng. My entire Yue clan was exterminated by them."

Yuan Yao, after hearing his words, asked, "Do you want me to enter Tian Jiaocheng to avenge you?"

"If possible, please avenge my Yue family."

"More than five hundred years have passed; your enemies may already be dead."

Yue Liu fell into a long silence.

In reality, Yuan Yao, together with her Third Senior Brother and Youngest Senior Brother, had passed through a long passage and reached the deep underground.

Eight secret chamber doors came into view.

Everyone who saw this froze, unsure which secret chamber the doors led to.

Yuan Yao scanned the area and found that Lu Xiangxiang was missing.

Nie Bai was also missing.

Presumably the two had chosen one of the secret doors.

Yuan Yao felt a weight in her heart.

Relying on the many pieces of information from her past life, Lu Xiangxiang would surely locate the treasure quickly and accurately.

Cang Li turned his head toward Ying Wuji and Yuan Yao, "Which secret door shall we choose?"

"This one," Ying Wuji suddenly said.

He pointed at the fourth secret door.

"Alright, let's go quickly!" Cang Li said without any hesitation.

The others, seeing the three head toward the fourth door, each harbored different thoughts.

"We will go too," the Second Elder of the Tianyi Sect narrowed his eyes.

Hua Chengyan thought Ying Wuji seemed confident, so he also planned to lead the members of the Hua Sect to follow behind Ying Wuji's three.

Just as Cang Li opened the fourth door, he sensed something; looking back, he saw everyone behind them and exclaimed, "I'm going!"

He asked, "Are you sure you want to follow us?"

"Just along the way," the Second Elder of the Tianyi Sect's voice was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze a person.

Hua Chengyan gave a faint smile, his grin blooming like spring flowers, "I, Hua, indeed wish to walk forward together with the three fellow cultivators."

Ying Wuji said to Cang Li, "Go."

Cang Li nodded.

The two positioned themselves on either side, shielding Yuan Yao in the middle.

At that moment, Yuan Yao heard her Youngest Senior Brother's telepathic voice, "We need to shake them off."

"Then—" Yuan Yao's heart stirred, and she replied telepathically, "Run!"

Having said that, she reached out, seized the two's wrists, and pulled them forward in a rush.

The others trailing behind sensed their intent, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly caught up.

But the three moved at incredible speed!

Within the underground labyrinth, the passages were countless; they chased Yuan Yao's trio through left and right turns, their eyes nearly spinning from the dizzying twists.

During this, some disciples simply couldn't keep up.

One reason was their footwork wasn't fast enough; another was that they had previously fought snow beasts and were still badly wounded.

Yuan Yao pulled the two as they ran, while Ying Wuji guided her.

Cang Li ran panting, feeling his throat about to catch fire.

"Can't go on… can't go on…"

"Third Senior Brother, hold on!" Yuan Yao encouraged, "Don't you want the treasure? Don't you want spiritual stones? Do you have spiritual stones to buy alchemy materials?!"

"Yuan Yao, you're truly ruthless!" Each sentence pierced his heart!

Cang Li clenched his teeth.

Immediately after, he said, "Wuji, I suspect you're pointing us in random directions!"

"Youngest Senior Brother, have you been here before?"

"No," Ying Wuji replied succinctly to the two.

Ying Wuji looked ahead, continuing to urge, "We must speed up even more."

"Alright!"

Yuan Yao answered in one breath, gritted her teeth, and with brute strength dragged the two forward, sprinting like a gale, startling Cang Li into a pallor.

"Yuan Yao, you're insane!" Cang Li muttered.

"Third Senior Brother, don't be afraid!"

Cang Li felt his arm being ripped apart by Yuan Yao, "Don't be scared, you ghost! Yuan Yao, my hand is about to break… break!"

Ying Wuji frowned slightly, "Third Senior Brother, stop talking."

"Ying Wuji, you take fifth!"

Ying Wuji: "…"

He inhaled deeply, "Let's speak quietly, so those people don't know our whereabouts."

Cang Li, after hearing that, began muttering softly, "Ying Wuji, how can you treat your Third Senior Brother with such an attitude? And you, Yuan Yao, don't pull so hard! My hand is about to be dislocated!"

Yuan Yao whispered, "Then I'll carry you while we run."

"What a disgrace! What a disgrace!" Cang Li exclaimed in shock.

Immediately after, his next words were:

"Quick, hug me!"

Yuan Yao really wanted to hug Cang Li and run, but Ying Wuji stopped her.

"Do you have any shame?" Ying Wuji, rarely at a loss for words, looked at Cang Li.

Cang Li: '... Who will help me pick up my face?'

Yuan Yao suggested: 'Third Senior Brother, how about I drag you to run?'

Hearing that, Cang Li's mouth twitched.

No need.

He was afraid his body would fall apart.

Just then, Yuan Yao seemed to sense something; she immediately looked up and, to her surprise, saw Lu Xiangxiang's figure.

Her eyes narrowed, she let go of Cang Li and Ying Wuji's wrists, and she alone rushed at Lu Xiangxiang!

Seeing this, Cang Li and Ying Wuji's faces shifted slightly.

At the same time, Lu Xiangxiang sensed the presence approaching from behind.

She turned around and saw that it was Yuan Yao.

Lu Xiangxiang's face shifted in alarm; she instinctively gathered spiritual power to block Yuan Yao's incoming attack.

As expected, Yuan Yao really meant to beat her!

Boom!

With a blast, Yuan Yao broke through Lu Xiangxiang's spiritual shield, lunged onto her, swung her fist, and began pounding her body wildly.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In pain, Lu Xiangxiang screamed: 'Yuan Yao, get lost!'

Lu Xiangxiang wanted to gather spiritual power and strike Yuan Yao's body hard, but in the next instant——

Her whole body went stiff.

Because Yuan Yao's immensely terrifying spiritual power crushed down on her, locking her movements.

"Lu Xiangxiang, your luck is still not good enough; you ran into me again." Yuan Yao smashed her ribs with a single punch.

"Ah..."

Lu Xiangxiang let out a pained groan, and traces of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Immediately after, Lu Xiangxiang's pupils constricted, as she saw Yuan Yao draw that hideously ugly five-colored longsword once more.

She saw Yuan Yao about to lift the sword and stab her!

In desperation, Lu Xiangxiang disregarded everything, erupting with an extremely evil and strange aura, followed by a mass of black qi rushing toward Yuan Yao's face.

Yuan Yao's expression shifted slightly.

She raised her sword to block.

Boom!

Yuan Yao was violently flung to the ground, rolling several times.

Although Lu Xiangxiang had originally intended to attack Yuan Yao, upon seeing Ying Wuji and Cang Li, her heart tightened; she immediately decided to retract the aura she had just released, and, as fast as possible, she sprang up from the ground, turned, and prepared to flee at full speed.

But she never expected——

"Squelch," the sound of flesh being sliced by a sharp blade came.
