Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Everyone followed closely behind him, running all the way to the depths of the forest. The pursuers behind him were relentless, and the sound of killing was endless. At this critical moment, the man in black robes suddenly stopped and pointed to a hidden path, "Follow this path, and the end is where the 'ghost grass' is. I'll stay behind, you guys leave quickly!"

The young cultivator looked at the man in black robe with gratitude, without saying much, just nodded slightly, and led his companions quickly along the path.

There were sounds of fierce fighting coming from behind them, but they did not look back. They had only one thought in their minds: no matter what, they must obtain the 'Ghost Grass' and complete the mission.

Soon, they came to a small cave hidden behind a huge rock. Su Yu panted and looked at the young cultivator: "Is this the place?"

The young man took a deep breath and nodded, "I hope so."

He lit a torch and illuminated the narrow passage. Several people walked into the cave one by one, taking every step very carefully. Finally, in a hidden corner, they found the "ghost grass" emitting a faint light.

"Found it!" Qin Yang shouted excitedly, "We can leave now!"

The young cultivator suddenly looked serious and looked towards the cave entrance, "Oh no, there are people outside!"

Everyone was immediately alert and just as they were about to rush out, they heard a cold voice: "I didn't expect you to find this place, what a pity..."

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Qin Yang asked.

The voice sneered, "Because your goal is exactly our goal. Want to leave? Ask us first if we agree!"

The young cultivator clenched the sword in his hand and stared at the cave entrance with a cold gaze. Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped in from outside the cave, holding weapons and with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Are you from the 'Shadow Hall'?" the young cultivator asked in a deep voice.

The leading man in black sneered, "Smart boy, but it's a pity that you will die here today." As soon as he finished speaking, they launched a fierce attack.

The two sides immediately started a fierce battle. The space inside the cave was narrow, and the flashes of swords and sabers were intertwined. Every step was extremely dangerous. The young cultivator and Qin Yang fought side by side, trying to break through the enemy's encirclement. However, the enemy was numerous and had obviously occupied a favorable position.

"Su Yu, take the ghost grass and go first!" the young cultivator shouted loudly.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, quickly picked up the ghost grass, and ran deep into the cave. Two companions followed behind her to protect her, and the remaining three fought desperately to resist the enemy.

"Don't even think about escaping!" the man in black shouted sternly. Several cold lights flashed, forcing the young cultivator to retreat step by step.

Qin Yang swung his sword to block a fierce attack, but found that one of his arms was already bleeding. "We must end the battle quickly, otherwise everyone will die here!"

The young cultivator gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination. "Hold on a little longer!"

Just then, a crisp voice came from deep in the cave: "Hey, do you need help?"

Everyone was startled and looked back, only to see a girl in light blue clothes slowly walking into their sight. She was holding a crystal clear staff in her hand, and a faint light was surrounding her.

"Who are you?" the young cultivator asked vigilantly.

The girl smiled and said, "I was just passing by here. I saw you guys were fighting so hard, so I wanted to help."

Although the young cultivator still had doubts in his heart, it was difficult for him to refuse under such circumstances. "Then please!"

The girl nodded and gently waved the crystal staff in her hand. A ray of light flashed and the temperature around her dropped sharply. The enemy's movements suddenly became slow, and surprise and fear appeared on his face.

The young cultivator seized this opportunity, swung his sword, and the sword light shot out in all directions, instantly killing several enemies. Others also took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and the situation gradually reversed.

The leading man in black was furious upon seeing this, "I won't let you succeed!" He roared and rushed over desperately.

The girl moved lightly to one side and with a wave of her hand, a frost barrier enveloped the man. Under the cold air, the man screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up, I'll hold this place!" the girl shouted.

The young cultivator looked at her gratefully, and quickly ran out of the cave with everyone. The sound of fighting behind them gradually faded away, but the tension in their hearts did not decrease at all.

The group passed through the dense forest and finally arrived at an open space. It was completely dark, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the silvery moonlight shone on their faces.

The young cultivator looked back, but the girl in blue did not show up. "The girl who saved us just now..."

Qin Yang panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "If it weren't for her, we might have really died."

Su Yu gently stroked the ghost grass in her hand, feeling a little relieved and a little worried. "How can we repay her kindness? I don't know if she is safe from those enemies."

The young cultivator was silent for a moment, then said, "The most important thing now is to complete the mission and return to the sect. Then we can find a way to find her whereabouts and repay her kindness."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if it was some kind of ominous omen. Everyone's heart trembled, and they looked around vigilantly.

"The environment here is getting weirder and weirder." Su Yu said softly, "I hope there won't be any more trouble."

The young cultivator nodded, "Keep going and stay alert."

Just as they were about to set off, they heard the sound of footsteps not far away. Everyone immediately stopped and looked into the darkness warily.

Suddenly, a familiar blue figure appeared in front of them—it was the mysterious girl in blue.

The girl looked at them with a smile, the crystal staff in her hand emitting a soft light. "It seems that you have already obtained the ghost grass. It's time for me to leave."

The young cultivator stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Thank you again for saving me. What's your name? If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

The girl smiled and said, "You're welcome. My name is Xiaoqing, just remember this name. As for the reward, your safety is the best reward for me."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the depths of the dense forest, gradually going farther and farther away. Her figure in the moonlight gradually blurred, as if blending into the dark forest.

"Xiao Qing..." The young cultivator silently recited the name, and a warm feeling surged in his heart, "One day, we will meet again."

Everyone watched her disappear into the night. Although they were reluctant to leave, they knew they couldn't stay too long. Qin Yang urged, "Let's leave quickly before the enemy catches up."

"Okay, let's go!" The young cultivator responded and led everyone on the return journey again.

The young cultivator led the others forward, his heart full of determination. Although they had just experienced danger, they could not stop. Not far ahead was their final destination - Lin Feng, who was imprisoned by the evil cult "Black Evil Sect". A chilly atmosphere permeated the dense forest, and it seemed that even the air had become heavy. The moonlight shone through the sparse treetops and cast mottled shadows on the ground. Several people held their weapons tightly in their hands, and took every step very carefully.

"It's too quiet here." Qin Yang whispered, "It seems like something ominous is staring at us."

Su Yu was also a little uneasy, "I feel that the environment around me is getting more and more weird, and I always feel that more enemies will appear."

The young cultivator said in a deep voice: "Stay alert, but don't panic. We must find Lin Feng as soon as possible."

The group moved forward cautiously and finally arrived at a dark valley. It was silent all around, with only the occasional sound of wind and insects breaking the dead silence. At the bottom of the valley was a dilapidated wooden house, emitting a faint black mist.

"Is this one of the strongholds of the Black Demon Sect?" asked the young cultivator.

Su Yu nodded, “According to the intelligence, they should have detained Lin Feng here.”

The young cultivator took a deep breath and said, "Then let's do it. Let's make it quick and decisive."

They slowly approached the wooden house, and suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the bushes beside them and blocked their way. It was a man in black, holding a machete, with a fierce light in his eyes.

"How dare you, a bunch of small fry, trespass into the territory of the Black Demon Sect!" the man in black said viciously.

Qin Yang waved his sword to block the opponent's attack, "Get out of the way, we are here to save people, not to talk nonsense with you!"

The two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle. The man in black was extremely agile, and every move was ferocious. The young cultivator led the others to attack, but despite the advantage in numbers, they still could not gain the upper hand.

"Su Yu, go and see if Lin Feng is in there first!" The young cultivator ordered loudly while resisting the attack.

Su Yu quickly left the battle circle and rushed to the wooden house. However, just as she reached the door, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Want to get in? Not that easy!" said the woman in black with a sneer.

Su Yu drew out his dagger and started a fierce battle with the woman in black. The two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who would win.

At this time, a painful cry came from the wooden house. Everyone was shocked when they heard it. It was Lin Feng's voice!

The young cultivator was getting anxious and shouted angrily, "Stop! If you don't stop, I will kill your people!"

The man in black sneered and said nonchalantly: "So what if you killed my people? You won't live long either."

The situation became increasingly urgent. At this moment, a clear voice came from a distance: "Hey, it's so lively, I'll join in the fun!"

Everyone was startled and looked back, only to see the girl in blue, Xiaoqing, appear in their sight again, holding her crystal clear staff in her hand.

Xiaoqing walked forward lightly, "It looks like you are in trouble. Let me help you."

The young cultivator was pleasantly surprised to see her, "Miss Xiaoqing, thank you for your help again!"

Xiaoqing smiled, "It's a piece of cake. Now, let's get rid of these guys."

Before she finished speaking, Xiaoqing waved her hand and a frost barrier suddenly expanded, instantly freezing the men in black in place. Then, she waved her crystal staff, and countless sharp icicles flew out like arrows, piercing their bodies.

The young cultivator seized the opportunity and slashed at the man in black with his long sword, forcing him to retreat again and again. Qin Yang and others took advantage of the situation and pursued him, and soon gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the man in black roared and tried with all his strength to break through the encirclement, but he was helpless due to the disparity in strength. Finally, he was stabbed in the vitals by the young cultivator and fell to the ground with a scream.

The young cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally done! Su Yu, go in and see how Lin Feng is doing."

Su Yu immediately rushed into the wooden house and saw that it was in a mess. A seriously injured person was lying in the corner. It was Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, what's wrong with you? Can you still stand up?" Su Yu asked anxiously.

Lin Feng opened his eyes slightly and forced a smile, "Luckily you guys rescued me... Thank you..."

The young cultivator, Xiao Qing and the others also followed into the house. Seeing this scene, they felt sorry for him. "Help him out quickly. We need to leave this place immediately."

Everyone worked together to carry Lin Feng out of the wooden house. When they were about to leave, a deafening horn sounded in the distance. The young cultivator's face became solemn.

"It's the Black Demon Sect's team coming. We have to leave quickly!"

Xiaoqing nodded, "I'll cover your evacuation."

After saying that, she waved her crystal staff, a ray of light flashed, and a huge ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the enemy's pursuit path.

The young cultivator looked at her gratefully, "Thanks to you. We will always remember this kindness."

Xiaoqing smiled softly, "Just remember the name. I hope we can meet again in the future."

The crowd hurriedly fled the scene with the seriously injured Lin Feng, passing through the dense forest and rushing towards the sect. In the night, the light blue figure gradually disappeared in the distance.

"Xiao Qing, we will meet again one day." The young cultivator muttered to himself, looking forward with a firm gaze.

"Let's go, we still have a lot of things to do." Qin Yang urged.

The young cultivators quickly left the valley, and Xiaoqing temporarily blocked the pursuers of the "Black Demon Sect" with her ice wall. Although they were grateful to Xiaoqing, they now had to return to the sect at full speed and bring Lin Feng back to a safe place.

In the dense forest shrouded in the night, everyone hurried, not daring to stop for a moment. Su Yu supported the weak Lin Feng and asked about his injuries with concern, "Lin Feng, how do you feel? Can you hold on?"

Lin Feng nodded. Although his face was pale, his eyes were still firm. "Don't worry, I can hold on. I just need some time to recover."

Qin Yang was on guard all around, and he said, "We can't stay here for long. The people from the Black Demon Sect will catch up with us soon. We need to get through this forest as quickly as possible."

The young cultivator looked back at the blue light that gradually disappeared into the night and said softly, "Thank you for your protection, Xiaoqing. We will return to the sect safely." (End of this chapter)
