When Jiang Jingmo and his companions came out of the stone cave, their clothes were tattered and their bodies were smelly because they were covered with blood and rotten flesh.

Fortunately, Nanxun knew a spell called the Body Cleansing Spell, which could make one clean and refreshed quickly.

Everyone did as they were told and quickly changed into the clothes that were always kept in the space bag. In a blink of an eye, they became clean and tidy, as if they were reborn. In addition, they had just obtained a lot of opportunities, so they were in high spirits at the moment.

When they reached the entrance of the secret passage, Jiang Jingmo used the Netherworld Fire to scare away the ghost vines blocking it, and several people climbed out swiftly.

The surroundings were full of swaying ghost vines, which were waiting for an opportunity to move, yet seemed to be afraid of something.

Looking at the sarcophagus hanging high in the air, Chu Yao was calm and indifferent.

"Go and get the golden crown back."

Jiang Jingmo patted her shoulder with a smile on his face.

Chu Yao nodded slightly and flew forward.

However, Jiang Jingmo and his companions allowed Nanxun's spiritual vines to entangle them. The aura of the ghost vine's origin emanating from it made the ghost vines stop where they were. The origin gave birth to life, which was the beginning of all ghost vines. They were born with a natural reverence and submission to the origin.

The spiritual vine escorted them all the way to the bronze door. After they stood still, they looked up at Chu Yao who was still in the air.

With the help of the mark, she easily controlled the ghost vines. They obediently lay at her feet and built a bridge for her to the sarcophagus.

Chu Yao walked up step by step, and when she got close, she commanded the ghost vines to lift the lid of the sarcophagus.

In fact, the ghost vines were a little hesitant when they lifted the lid. The girl in front of them had the scent of their nourishment (Chu's corpse), and they have always been quite respectful to the mother body that grew them.

Isn't it bad to lift the lid?

But this girl also has the mother's breath, and is still alive...

The ghost vine used its limited intelligence to think about it and decided to listen to the living mother in front of it.

The lid of the sarcophagus was opened neatly, and Chu Yao was prepared to see a pile of dry bones.

But unexpectedly, the sarcophagus contained Chu's intact body, without even a trace of decay. His brows were slightly furrowed on his handsome face, as if filled with endless sorrow.

The gorgeous and exquisite golden crown was now lying quietly beside him. As the brilliant light flowed, a hint of desire rose in Chu Yao's heart.

Chu Yao quickly shook her head to suppress that desire. After reciting the Heart Purification Sutra three times, she stretched out her hand towards the golden crown.

Something unexpected happened. When her fingertips touched the golden crown, Chu's corpse suddenly opened his eyes. There were no pupils in his eyes, only empty whites.

Chu Yao's breath was choked. The ghost stories she had heard in her childhood seemed to have come true. She couldn't help but want to pull her hand back, but a cold hand held her wrist.

She opened her eyes wide and watched the hand of Chu's corpse tightly grasping her wrist. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get rid of it. Just when she was terrified to the extreme, the mark on her arm flashed slightly, and the corpse immediately let go of her hand and even closed its eyes.

Chu Yao didn't remember how she got the golden crown. She only knew that when she met Jiang Jingmo and the others, the golden crown was already in her arms.

Jiang Jingmo was stunned when he saw the little girl coming down. He couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her and asked with concern.

"Chu Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Yao seemed to come back to her soul. Looking at the familiar face in front of her, she burst into tears and threw herself into Jiang Jingmo's arms.

"Wow, wow, wow! There's a ghost!"

Jiang Jingmo:?

Nanxun:?

Anyang: (′⊙w⊙`)

Shen Shuli: ...

Four confused faces, with an indifferent spirit pen and a heartless cane.

No matter what, Chu Yao was just a fourteen-year-old girl. After being frightened, she took a long time to recover before she sobbed and told him about her experience.

Jiang Jingmo was amazed. Not to mention the little girl, she would also be scared if the corpse grabbed her wrist.

Chu Yao quickly calmed down. After carefully placing the golden crown into the space bag, she took out the bead containing the guiding butterfly, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"My work has already delayed you for a long time. After all, this is your sect conference. You still need to find more resources to win the competition. I can go find the anti-poison grass by myself."

As a younger sister, Chu Yao was indeed anxious to find the detoxifying herb at the moment. What's more, the sect conference only lasted for seven days. After seven days, they would be automatically teleported back. Now, no one knew how many days had passed, and their team's resources had not yet been collected.

Chu Yao really didn't want them to sacrifice their time for their own affairs anymore. This was their sect competition, not a joke.

only……

Chu Yao glanced at the space bag on her waist and sighed, wondering if she could protect the golden crown.

But it doesn’t matter. If she dies, this golden crown will be of no use to her.

"What if you are in danger?" Nan Xun asked hesitantly.

"It's okay. It was my own idea to leave the team. It has nothing to do with any of you. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the consequences myself."

As if afraid that some people might have concerns, Chu Yao hurriedly explained.

Nan Xun opened his mouth again and wanted to say something, but saw Jiang Jingmo gently shook his head at him.

She handed Chu Yao a communication talisman with a natural tone.

"If you encounter danger, send us a message. If you can't defeat them, run away. If there is anything we can't solve, we can deal with it when we reunite."

Chu Yao nodded and said thank you.

"Does the Golden Crown still need our protection? We in the Jiuxiao Sect always keep our word."

Nan Xun also took a step forward and looked at the little princess in front of him. There was a smile on her baby face.

"You have helped me enough. It would be a bit too much trouble for you to protect the golden crown..."

Chu Yao smiled. She knew that if it weren't for them, she would never have been able to get the golden crown. How could she have the nerve to shamelessly ask them to help her protect the golden crown?

"That's too polite. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have received so many inheritances. We should thank you. Besides, we are a team, so there's no need to bother. Just tell us whether you want it or not."

Chu Yao raised her head and found that they were all looking at her with a smile. Even though she was different from them, they were still willing to accept her.

"If it's not too much trouble for you guys... I want to."

She smiled, and when she said this, she actually felt inexplicably relaxed.

At this moment, she truly integrated herself into the team and no longer excluded herself.
