Chapter 68: Saved

  Ye Xuan was overjoyed after breaking through the Three-Star Xuan Boundary, but then discovered a serious problem - how to get out? This small room with no doors on all sides, how could he leave? He had fallen from above, even if he could exit from above, it seemed like there were at least several dozen meters of height, and the surrounding walls were smooth stone, what was he supposed to do?

  "What's wrong, old man? Can't get out?" Ye Xuan asked with a bitter face.

  "Look for a hidden mechanism on the wall, maybe there's a secret door!" Chaotic Old reminded, and then he poured himself a small amount of Nine Tripod Spirit Liquid to drink. After that, he sat down cross-legged, and if one looked closely, they would discover that from the illusory part of Chaotic Old's soul body, tiny black dots were bursting out.

  "What nonsense! There's no such thing as a secret door or mechanism, not even a hair!" Ye Xuan cursed.

  "Look again!" said Chaos with his eyes still closed.

  "Geez, I've been searching for two hours already!"

  Just then, a shout came from above the small cottage!

  "Oh no! I'm done for!"

  "Huh? The voice sounds like a girl!" Ye Xuan looked up suspiciously.

  Then I saw a body falling from above!

  Bang!

  All I saw was a beautiful young girl sitting on the ground with her legs splayed out in all directions, yelling: "Ahh, my butt is killing me!"

  Suddenly the girl found something was wrong, this feeling was like having eyes staring at her, then she looked up and shouted, "Ah! Ah! There are zombies!"

  Ye Xuan's face turned black, and I was stunned - am I a zombie? However, when he saw the girl's face, Ye Xuan was also shocked. This wasn't the fierce girl who had traveled with him on the road to Shao Nan Prefecture, Luo Cuihua!

  "What's all the commotion about? Am I a zombie or something?" Ye Xuan shot her a displeased glance.

  Yexuan spoke up, and Lu Cuihua took a closer look, her eyes curved into crescent moons as she exclaimed: "Isn't this Xiao Xuanzi? How did you fall down too?"

  Ye Xuan heard the nickname "Little Xuanzi" and immediately looked gloomy. How did I become a eunuch again?

  "Hey, hey, what's the big idea saying I fell down too? I was the one who fell down before you! This is something I should be asking you!" Ye Xuan said with a pout.

  Lu Cuihua's eyes widened in anger, her delicate face suddenly twisted in a scowl. "It's all because of Lao San Liu, that idiot," she snorted. "He actually let me, the young lady, scout ahead!"

  As they spoke, a rope above them swayed back and forth and slid down.

  Lu Cuihua's angry face suddenly dissipated, and she smiled with narrowed eyes: "This guy is not stupid after all, he knows to throw down the rope!"

  This sentence made Ye Xuan suddenly stunned, because he thought why Kong Dashi and Fu Long didn't throw down the rope, or they didn't have a chance to throw down the rope at all. At that time, he and Fu Long were slapped flying by a palm, and Kong Dashi came in a hurry, it must be a big battle.

  Ye Xuan clenched his fists, and the numb labor capital came to this world. Why was it always bullied? If I wasn't lucky, I would have crossed again. You wait for me!

  "Hey, hey! The rope is down, what are you still staring at? Want to stay in this broken place? Hmph, if I hadn't fallen down, I reckon you'd be stuck here till death!" Luo Cuihua muttered to herself, humming and hawing nonstop.

  At this time, Lao San on the road above felt that the rope had moved and smiled: "This water is indeed problematic!"

  He said, and with a force on his hand, he pulled the rope.

  "Huh? How can it be so heavy, I'm telling you, Luo Cuifeng isn't that fat!" Lu Lao San said with a frown, of course, both Luo Cuifeng and Ye Xuan were a bit heavy, but for someone like Lu Lao San who was in the Moon Profound Realm, this weight was still a piece of cake.

  Finally, Lu Cuihua's head emerged from the water, and Lao San said suspiciously: "You don't seem to have fallen into the water!"

  After he finished speaking, with a loud "splash", two people jumped out of the water. Lu Lao San was shocked to see that Luo Cuihua had someone under her and almost let go, luckily Ye Xuan made a quick jump and got ashore.

  "Ah! Isn't this Ye Xiao's brother? You! You! How are you also underground?" Lu Lao San asked, pointing at Ye Xuan with his hand and staring at him.

  Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and cleared his throat, saying: "Captain Lu, it's hard to put into words!"

  At this time, Lao San suddenly remembered something and nodded thoughtfully: "Oh! I know, you fell down while searching for treasure, or were you beaten down by the people of Sanqing Temple?"

  "Damn it! I was ambushed and knocked down with one palm strike! I've been stuck underground for half a month! Almost suffocated me!"

  Lu Cuihua exclaimed, "Ah!" and pointed at Ye Xuan, saying: "So you've been down there for so long, no wonder I felt it smelled terrible down there! Hmph!"

  Ye Xuan's face turned black, with a house that small, I couldn't go half a month without solving the problem of taking it down.

  Yexuan quickly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, how did you two come here?"

  Lu Lao San chuckled and said, "Don't you know why? We came here for the same reason as you. Since hearing that San Qing Guan and Si Fang Shang Hui were searching for treasure here, I've been planning to come take a look. After all, it's an ancient cave, they might have missed some treasures. So I decided to come investigate, and then Luo Cui Hua heard about it and insisted on following me!"

  "Hey! Old Lu, what's the big idea of making me follow you? Didn't you just say you were afraid and wanted me to lead the way?! Hmph!" Luo Cuihua said with a snort.

  Lao San sneered and said to Ye Xuan, "Obviously she was afraid that I would find the treasure before her, so she chose to go ahead, but instead she called me a coward!"

  Lu Cuifang heard and glared fiercely at Lu Lao San. Ye Xuan was puzzled, how did these two weirdos end up together? He suddenly asked: "By the way, do you know if anything has happened with Sanqing Temple and Sifang Chamber of Commerce's treasure hunt?"

  At this time, Lu Lao San and Luo Cui Hua looked at Ye Xuan as if they were looking at a monster. Lu Lao San said: "Ye younger brother, you won't have not heard of this either?"

  "What's going on?" Ye Xuan pretended he didn't know.

  Lu Lao San put away the rope and said, "It is said that on that day, San Qing Guan and Si Fang Shang Hui each sent three people to search for treasure. The ones sent by San Qing Guan were the chief Taoist priest, Ruan Shan, and two guardian elders, Gong Liang and Gong Qian brothers. Those sent by Si Fang Shang Hui were the first Taoist priest of Shao Nan Prefecture, Kong Ming Da Shi, and his two disciples. However, an unexpected event occurred during the search for treasure!"

  Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he furrowed his brow, asking: "What unexpected thing happened?"

  Lu Cuihua replied, "Not to mention the six people who entered the mountain cave and stayed for three days and three nights. Ruan Shan and Gong Jia brothers found a lot of treasures, but what's surprising is that after Ruan Shan came out, he became a third-level artifact refiner! However, Kong Daoshi and his two apprentices never came out. Later, Mo Ruotian, the president of the Four Directions Chamber of Commerce, personally entered the mountain cave. In the end, they found Kong Daoshi and one of his apprentices unconscious in the cave, while the other apprentice was missing!"

  Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed when he heard the two words "fainted".
