137: Leaving the underground, reuniting with my junior sister

At this moment, the ground beneath their feet glowed, and Formation patterns emerged, indicating that the teleportation Formation had activated.

Seeing this, they immediately put on their clothes, a smile of relief on their faces.

They had been in this cursed place for so long, almost losing their lives, but now they could finally leave.

“Revered Master’s wife, and Junior Sisters, I’ll be back soon.”

The beautiful faces of the women appeared in his mind, and Lin Yuan silently chanted.

“After we get out, we can Cultivate together with Senior Nephew every day…”

Mei Fu glanced at the man from the corner of her eye, her mood complex yet expectant.

Because of this trip, she was severely injured and could barely use her Origin Qi, but for some reason, she wasn’t sad at all; instead, she was grateful for this encounter.

“Sect Master, the important item that belongs to me, Zhu’er has found it…”

Moving to the young man’s side, she Take the initiative to hold the other person's hand, her red lips curved into a slight arc.

The soft touch on his hand made Lin Yuan turn his head, a smile also on his face.

Although this experience cost him a lot of blood, being able to capture the heart of a beauty like Junior Martial Uncle was completely worth it.

“Rumble…”

Just as they were about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the top of the plaza, and three figures broke through the rock wall, descending from the sky, accompanied by a powerful Qi that made people’s hearts tremble!

These three were none other than Gao Hong, Senior Gao, and Green Evil Daoren.

Upon arriving, their eyes were immediately drawn to the hammer in the center of the plaza.

Zhan Tian Hammer!

After spending half a day, they finally found this Emperor Weapon!

The three of them used their movement Martial Skill, rushing towards the hammer!

At this moment, the teleportation Formation beneath their feet activated, and Lin Yuan and Shen Mingzhu’s figures disappeared from their original spot.

Outside the giant cave, they were teleported to the ground.

Looking at the surrounding scenery and breathing the fresh air, both of them let out a long sigh of relief.

They finally escaped from that damned cursed place!

This terrifying experience would surely be imprinted in their minds, never to be forgotten.

In mid-air, Yun Qiying noticed the two below, immediately flashed forward, and arrived by their side.

“Yuan’er, Mingzhu!”

Upon seeing their faces clearly, she immediately showed joy.

“Sect Master!”

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Yuan and the other quickly cupped their hands in greeting.

“No need for formalities.”

Yun Qiying waved her hand and directly asked, “What did you encounter underground? And how did you get out?”

“This…”

The two exchanged glances, their expressions a bit awkward.

They couldn’t possibly say they dug their way out, could they?

“It’s like this…”

As the elder, Shen Mingzhu was the first to speak, explaining the whole story in a few words, omitting the part about dual Cultivation.

“Yan Chen… This person is so audacious, daring to attack my Cloud Ripple Sect Disciple. It seems I really need to give Burning Sun Pavilion a good beating.”

Having learned the full story, Yun Qiying clenched her fist with a cold voice.

Burning Sun Pavilion was an affiliated force within Cloud Ripple Sect’s territory, and daring to attack their Revered Master naturally enraged her.

Mei Fu smiled bitterly, “Yan Chen is indeed detestable, but the Disciples of Burning Sun Pavilion did not participate in this incident. As the saying goes, misfortune does not extend to family. The instigator has already self-destructed and died, so there’s no need to implicate them.”

Yun Qiying nodded slightly, “What you said makes sense, but you suffered such severe injuries because of that fellow. Is this matter just going to be left at that?”

Shen Mingzhu calmly said, “Being able to survive a self-destruction is already extremely fortunate. There’s no need to go after innocent people. The true target we should pursue is that Green Evil Daoren. If it weren’t for him activating the Formation and causing the city to collapse, we wouldn’t have had such a dangerous encounter.”

“Green Evil Daoren…”

Yun Qiying furrowed her delicate brows, “I’ve roamed the Eastern Region for over eight hundred years, and I’ve never heard of this person. What is his origin?”

Facing this question, both of them shook their heads.

Lin Yuan speculated, “Since he did these things, I think, firstly, he has a grudge against the Gao Family, and secondly, he wants to seize the Zhan Tian Hammer.”

Yun Qiying’s expression changed slightly, “Zhan Tian Hammer, that’s a legendary King-level Emperor Weapon. Rumor has it that after the first city lord died, this hammer was buried with him. I thought it was a fabrication, but I never imagined it was true.”

Lin Yuan nodded, “Yes, we both saw it with our own eyes. The hammer in the underground plaza is most likely the Zhan Tian Hammer. As we were leaving, Green Evil, Senior Senior Gao, and City Lord Gao Hong just arrived. I don’t know which side will win.”

Shen Mingzhu worried, “If Senior Senior Gao obtains the Emperor Weapon, then naturally everyone will be happy. But if Senior loses, and the Emperor Weapon falls into Green Evil Daoren’s hands, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to our Sect.”

Yun Qiying bit her lip lightly, also worried about this matter.

A Dao Platform Realm expert holding an Emperor Weapon could fight above their level.

Even she would have to temporarily avoid their Edge.

“I hope Senior Gao can win,” Yun Qiying sighed softly.

Lin Yuan added, “Chan’er and the others are still trapped underground, and I don’t know if they’ve encountered any danger.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qi of the Formation Dao appeared around them, and figures were subsequently teleported over.

These people were all guests who came to celebrate the birthday.

“We’re back! Finally back!”

“You scared me to death! I thought I’d never get out!”

“To be able to return safely, it really is heaven’s blessing.”

Everyone exclaimed with emotion.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan and the other two were first startled, then quickly searched for familiar faces.

Soon, they found Lu Yichan and others in the crowd.

“Chan’er! Yan’er!”

Shen Mingzhu quickly went to her Disciple’s side. Seeing that the two girls’ clothes were intact, her anxious heart relaxed a little.

“Revered Master! You’re out too?”

“Yes, are you two alright?”

“We’re fine. We were all trapped in the stone chamber and couldn’t get out, so we didn’t encounter anything. We just waited for rescue in the chamber, and unexpectedly, we were teleported out while waiting.”

Lu Yichan explained unhurriedly.

Although her surface was calm, her heart was filled with lingering fear.

After all, being in such a cramped, unknown space, anyone would feel scared.

“Senior Brother!”

Beside them, Zhao Cailian saw the young man and immediately rushed forward, throwing herself into his arms.

Holding the girl’s soft body and smelling her familiar scent, Lin Yuan also relaxed and asked, “Lian’er, what did you encounter underground?”

Zhao Cailian whispered, “Senior Sister Lu and I were trapped together. We didn’t leave our spot and didn’t encounter any danger.”

Lin Yuan said gently, “That’s good. I was so worried about you all.”

Zhao Cailian shrank her body, her heart pounding, “Lian’er was scared to death too! The thought of being trapped forever and never seeing Senior Brother again, my heart felt like it was being torn apart!”

During the short half-day in the stone chamber, besides worrying about her own safety, her entire heart was tied to Lin Yuan!

In such a difficult, helpless, and uncertain situation, she realized how deep her feelings for Lin Yuan truly were.

Every minute and every second, she couldn’t help but miss him and longed to reunite with him.
