I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Zou Mubai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Ying Qi, where is Si Yao now?"

"Xu Chong"'s expression became painful. He closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was trying hard to sense something.

"I don't know the exact location, but I can feel that he is in a very dark place. There is the sound of gurgling water around him, and the deafening roar of the Hades Beast. The sound is so loud that my head is about to explode."

As he spoke, he covered his head and shook his body continuously, as if he was enduring great pain and torture.

Seeing this, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen became even more anxious and hurried forward to support him.

At this moment, Fei Xiuwen couldn't help but ask: "Ying Qi, where are you now? How can we find you?"

"I... I'm..." As soon as the words came out, Xu Chong's pupils suddenly dilated, and a trace of fear and despair flashed in his eyes. His voice also became trembling: "Oh no, he's coming! I... I..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly rolled up, he lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.

This scene stunned everyone present, and an ominous feeling filled the air.

Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen quickly exchanged glances. They knew that time was running out and they had to act immediately.

They bent over to check on Xu Chong's condition and found that he was only temporarily unconscious and was not seriously injured. They then quickly discussed the next rescue plan.

"We must find Si Yao as soon as possible," Zou Mubai said in a deep voice, "According to Ying Qi's description, Si Yao should be imprisoned nearby, and the environment is extremely harsh. We must act carefully to rescue Si Yao while ensuring our own safety."

Fei Xiuwen nodded in agreement. He looked at He Ronger beside him, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Ronger, you stay here to take care of Ying Qi, we will be back soon."

Although He Rong'er was a little worried, she also knew that she couldn't become a burden, so she nodded and said, "Be careful, I'll take Xu Chong back to the sect and wait for you."

In this way, Zou Mubai and Fei Xiuwen embarked on the road of rescue with deep concern and firm belief for Si Yao.

And "Xu Chong" lay quietly on the ground, as if in a deep sleep, waiting for their return.

At the bottom of the mountain stream, He Lian'er slowly opened her eyes. Everything around her seemed strange and weird. She found herself in a deep, dark cave.

This sudden change made her heart beat faster, and a feeling of uneasiness quickly spread throughout her body.

She quickly looked around. In the dim cave, the light and shadows were mottled, and every movement seemed to be infinitely magnified, making the alertness even more obvious.

The stone slab was cold and hard, yet unusually clean, as if it was a resting place specially prepared for her.

Not far away, a slightly old futon lay quietly, next to an almost extinguished fire. The occasional jumping flames from the embers became the only source of warmth in this dark space.

However, this faint warmth could not dispel the chill and fear in her heart.

He Lian'er twitched her nostrils slightly, and an indescribable stench instantly invaded her senses. It was a disgusting smell mixed with blood and rotten meat, as if it was a call from hell. She couldn't help but frown and her stomach churned. This smell seemed to come from deeper in the cave, where unknown and terrible secrets were hidden.

She endured the discomfort, tried to support her weak body, and slowly sat up.

As her sight extended, she was shocked to find that in a hidden corner of the cave, there were piles of dry bones.

Some of them are intact, some are broken, some have been polished by time to be as smooth as a mirror, with a cold light, while others still have a few pieces of shriveled rotten meat hanging on them, which is particularly shocking. These remains all show what kind of tragic scene has happened here.

He Lian'er's heart sank to the bottom as she realized that these dry bones were all human. Their length, structure, and the pieces of clothing scattered around were irrefutable proof of this.

She couldn't help but gasp, and an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped her heart.

"Is this... the evil cultivator's lair?" she wondered in her heart.

She must have been discovered by an evil cultivator when she was unconscious and was brought to this cave.

In the spirit world, some monks, in order to pursue power, do not hesitate to use all kinds of cruel means, and their behavior is often so bad that it is outrageous. They are despised by the righteous people and are uniformly classified as evil cultivators.

On the other hand, although the demon cultivators are also not accepted by the mainstream, they cultivate demonic energy, which is essentially different from the evil cultivators.

Thinking of this, He Lian'er couldn't help but shudder. She felt both fear of the unknown and a strong desire to survive.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heartbeat, and closed her eyes for a moment, as if there was a silent struggle going on deep in her heart. In the end, that tenacity prevailed.

She slowly opened her eyes and first performed a careful examination of her body.

Apart from the occasional dull pain in her head, which was as hard to ignore as a hammer blow, and the stuffy feeling in her chest as if being pressed down by a huge rock, which made her breathing a little rapid, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there were no other obvious scars on her body.

This discovery was like a ray of warm sunshine penetrating the clouds, giving her a little comfort.

Next, she used the secret method she had cultivated to carefully release her spiritual awareness, which spread silently to every corner around the cave like a dense spider web.

After a careful investigation, she confirmed that there was indeed no strange or dangerous aura lingering around, which finally made her tense nerves relax a little and she secretly felt relieved.

"It seems that the evil cultivator really went out for some reason. It's really God's will that I will survive." She muttered to herself, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, although there was a bit of bitterness and fatigue in the smile.

He Lian'er no longer hesitated. She carefully held onto the cold stone slab beside her and slowly stood up with the support.

Every move she made was extremely cautious, fearing that any noise would cause unnecessary trouble. After she stood firm, she walked out of the cave lightly, taking every step very carefully, fearing that she would miss any details that might expose herself.

As she got farther and farther away from the cave, the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

As she walked, she felt a little confused again.

Now the entire spirit world is looking for her, what should she do?

I felt a sense of loss.

After a while, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the Qixuan Gate: "The most dangerous place is often the safest. I will go back to see my father and mother first. They love me the most and will definitely not ignore me."

Thinking of this, He Lian'er's mouth curled up and she quickened her pace.
