When everyone heard the words "Star-sucking Demonic Spell", there was a commotion in the crowd. Many people's faces changed color, and their eyes revealed fear and anxiety.

Xiang Wentian laughed: "Yes, this is the Star Absorbing Technique. Anyone who is interested can come up and try it."

He glanced at the crowd around him with a provocative look in his eyes.

The yellow belt elder in the Demon Cult looked pale and said in a hoarse voice: "Could it be that Ren... Ren... has come out again? Let's go back and report to the Cult Master and then make a decision."

His voice was trembling, and he was obviously frightened by the "Star-sucking Magic".

The Demon Cult members all agreed and turned around at once. Half of the more than 100 people immediately left. The rest of the Orthodox Cult members discussed in low voices for a while, with hesitant looks on their faces. Some of them left one after another, and in the end, only a dozen people were left.

All I heard was a clear voice saying, "Xiang Wentian, you actually used the magic of sucking stars and fell into an irretrievable state. From now on, when your friends in the martial arts world deal with you, they don't have to worry about whether the means are justified. This is what you have done to yourselves. Don't regret it when the time comes."

Xiang Wentian laughed and said, "When have you ever regretted what you did, Xiang? Do you think it is a legitimate means for you to attack the two of us with hundreds of people? Hehe, how ridiculous." His tone was full of disdain.

There were footsteps, and the dozen or so people also left.

Xiang Wentian listened attentively and found that the enemy who was chasing him had gone far away. Then he lowered his voice and said to Yi Huawei: "These bastards will definitely come back. Let's go quickly."

Xiang Wentian swung the iron chain and wrapped it around a tree sticking out from the cliff. He tried the tree and found it was very sturdy and could support the weight of his body, then he gently dropped down.

Yi Huawei frowned: "Why is it so troublesome?"

As he said this, he leaped up and fell rapidly like a big bird.

Xiang Wentian was startled. He used the chains on his hands alternately, pressed his body against the cliff wall, and slid down for more than ten feet, getting faster and faster. Whenever he found a little leverage, he would use his internal energy, or slap with his palms, or step with his feet, to slow down his sliding.

After sliding down, he saw Yi Huawei leisurely observing the surroundings. Xiang Wentian was even more impressed and said, "Young Master Yue is very skilled. You really scared me just now."

Yi Huawei glanced at Xiang Wentian without answering. He pointed his left index finger upwards, indicating that there was something unusual above.

Xiang Wentian was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and looked far away, trying to catch any movement on the stone beam. However, he could not see any figure on the stone beam. He put his ear against the rough mountain wall, held his breath, and listened carefully to the subtle sounds above. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long while, he frowned and cursed with a smile: "Damn it, these bastards haven't left yet."

As he said that, he turned to look at Yi Huawei, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and said: "You are a disciple of a famous and upright sect, and Yingying is the saint of my sect. The two sides have always been mortal enemies. How did you know each other?"

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Yi Huawei said calmly, "It just happened to be a coincidence..."

He then slowly recounted how he met Ren Yingying, how he learned music scores from Ren Yingying, and how he saved Ren Yingying from the poison.

Yi Huawei's voice was neither fast nor slow, and Xiang Wentian listened attentively, with the expression on his face changing constantly as Yi Huawei spoke. When he heard that Ren Yingying was poisoned by the Three Corpses Brain Pill, Xiang Wentian's eyes widened, his eyebrows stood up, and he cursed Dongfang Bubai: "That bastard Dongfang Bubai is so insidious and vicious that he actually killed the leader's daughter!" His voice was full of anger, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to rush out immediately to compete with Dongfang Bubai.

Hearing that Yi Huawei took Ren Yingying to Ping Yizhi to cure the corpse worms, Xiang Wentian was stunned at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he laughed out loud: "Great! Ping Yizhi is really capable, and brother Yi, you are so kind and saved Yingying's life."

After Yi Huawei finished speaking, Xiang Wentian could no longer suppress the gratitude in his heart. With a plop, he knelt down in front of Yi Huawei and kowtowed three times, with his forehead hitting the ground with a dull sound.

"What are you doing?"

Yi Huawei reached out his hand to help Xiang Wentian up and said, "I only saved you for Yingying's sake. If you want to thank someone, go thank Yingying."

"Young Master Yue not only saved me, but also saved the leader's only daughter. This is such a great favor that I cannot repay you even if I die!" Xiang Wentian stood up, his eyes full of gratitude. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Yi Huawei.

Yi Huawei waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so.

Xiang Wentian calmed down a bit and said, "Just now those bastards were shouting something like 'Star Absorbing Technique' and they ran away in fear. Do you know what 'Star Absorbing Technique' is? Why are they so scared?"

"I know a thing or two..."

Yi Huawei nodded and frowned slightly: "I heard that this skill is very evil, it can suck the inner strength of others and use it for oneself. However, I heard that it is the unique skill of the Demon Sect leader Ren Woxing, but I didn't know that Brother Xiang also knows it."

Xiang Wentian smiled and shook his head: "Young Master Yue, just now that Niubi from the Emei Sect attacked me with his internal force. Do you know what happened to Niubi's internal force?"

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, and he smiled and said: "Brother Xiang seems to have led the Taoist's internal energy into the ground."

When Xiang Wentian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He slapped his thigh and said happily, "Not bad, not bad. Young Master Yue has a good eye. I came up with this kung fu by accident, and no one in the martial arts world knows about it. I gave it a name, called 'The Small Method of Absorbing Kung Fu into the Ground'."

There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he was introducing his masterpiece.

Yi Huawei tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "This name is strange."

Xiang Wentian nodded and said slowly: "Compared with the 'Star Absorbing Technique' that everyone in the martial arts world is afraid of, my kung fu is like a small witch meeting a big witch, so I have to call it a 'small technique'. My kung fu is just a small trick of transplanting flowers and trees and using the opponent's force to attack the opponent. It can channel the opponent's internal force into the ground, making it harmless, and it does not benefit me at all."

After a short pause, as if organizing his thoughts, he continued, "Moreover, this skill can only be used when the opponent attacks you, but it cannot be used to attack or injure others. At that time, the opponent will feel that his internal energy is leaking out, and he will be shocked. After a while, he will recover. I expected that they would definitely go and come back, because once the Emei Sect's Niubizi's power is restored, they will know that my "sucking power into the ground" is just a bluff, and there is nothing to be afraid of." At this point, Xiang Wentian showed a trace of disdain on his face, shook his head slightly, and continued, "I have always disliked these deceptive tricks, so I have never used them. I didn't expect that I would use them today. If the situation today was not critical and those people were not pressing me step by step, I would not have used this trick."

Yi Huawei glanced at him and said, "Brother Xiang, although this skill cannot directly hurt people, it can play an unexpected role in certain situations. The Emei Taoist's internal force leaked just now, and he must have been panicked. This also bought us some time."

Xiang Wentian nodded slightly and agreed, "Young Master Yue is right. When the Taoist's internal energy suddenly leaked out, he must have been shocked and angry, and for a while he could no longer organize an effective attack. However, this is not a long-term solution after all. Those people have come back, and we have to think of a way to deal with them."

Yi Huawei nodded: "We will fight back if an enemy comes. We will hide in the valley for now. Yingying is still waiting for us at the inn. Let's take a rest first and make plans at night."

Xiang Wentian looked around. The valley floor had a complex terrain and there were many hidden places to hide. He pointed to a huge rock not far away and said, "Young Master Yue, let's hide there first so we can observe what's going on above."

Yi Huawei looked in the direction Xiang Wentian pointed and nodded, and the two of them walked cautiously towards the boulder.

After they hid behind the boulder, they waited quietly. Time passed by, and occasionally there were some subtle sounds from above, as if those people were searching for them.

Xiang Wentian listened attentively to the noise above, frowning, thinking of a countermeasure in his heart. He knew that those people would not give up easily, and once they found him, another fierce battle would be inevitable.

The dusk gradually deepened, pressing heavily on the valley. In the valley, a cold wind suddenly blew, blowing so hard that it made people feel cold.

Yi Huawei tapped the stone wall three times with his fingertips, making a rhythmic sound. Xiang Wentian was not far away, and when he heard the sound, he immediately understood and nodded slightly. The two figures began to move silently along the steep cliff like ghosts.

The two walked lightly, taking every step very carefully, fearing that any sound would expose their whereabouts. At this time, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the distance, which was particularly clear in this silent valley. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw torches moving on the ridges, forming a line and winding through the dark ridges.

“There’s a gap in the southeast corner.”

Yi Huawei lowered his voice, so soft that only Xiang Wentian could hear it. He held seven copper coins tightly in his hand, ready to strike at any time. Xiang Wentian grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He wrapped the iron chain around his waist, wrapping it three times. The iron chain flashed coldly in the night, looming.

Just as the two were about to move towards the gap in the southeast corner, they suddenly heard the sound of rubble rolling down from above. They immediately stopped and looked up. They saw more than a dozen black shadows swooping down from above their heads like night owls. These black shadows were agile and clearly well prepared.

Yi Huawei reacted very quickly. With a flick of his wrist, the seven copper coins in his hand immediately flew out of the air, making a sharp whistling sound. The copper coins shot towards the three people in the front like sharp arrows. The three people were unable to dodge and fell to the ground with a muffled groan. Xiang Wentian was not to be outdone. He untied the iron chain around his waist and shouted loudly. The iron chain swept out like a dragon's tail, with great momentum. The two blue-shirted swordsmen were unable to dodge and were caught by the iron chain. They fell towards the edge of the cliff involuntarily and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Yi Huawei did not draw his sword, but flashed and shuttled between the enemies like a ghost. He only used the tip of the sheath to hit the enemy's tanzhong acupoint, and each attack was extremely accurate. His figure passed by like a white crane skimming over the water, light and fast. Under his attack, the enemies fell to the ground one after another, losing the ability to resist.

In just half a cup of tea, the fierce battle was over, and the forest returned to dead silence. Yi Huawei and Xiang Wentian stood there, vigilantly observing the movements around them, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no other enemies.

The two continued to move towards the gap in the southeast corner, and finally, they successfully passed the gap and left the valley.

…………

It was three quarters past three in the morning, and the night was already very late. In the back alley of an inn, the bluestone slabs were shining coldly.

Yi Huawei and Xiang Wentian came to the back window of the inn. Yi Huawei reached out and gently pushed open the wooden window, which made a slight creaking sound.

Inside the house, Ren Yingying was playing the zither facing the candlelight. Her expression was focused, her fingers gently plucked the strings, producing pleasant music. On the zither table was a half-bowl of medicine, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance. Hearing the sound of the window opening, Ren Yingying's fingers paused, and the strings of the zither broke. She stood up suddenly, her white sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she knocked over the medicine bowl on the zither table. The sound of porcelain shards breaking on the ground echoed in the house.

"Saint Aunt!"

When Xiang Wentian saw Ren Yingying, he shouted excitedly, his chains clanged to the ground, and his beard trembled.

"Uncle Xiang!"

Ren Yingying also called out, and the two looked at each other in silence. The candlelight flickered beside them, and it seemed as if there was a flash of water in the corner of Xiang Wentian's eyes.

After a while, Ren Yingying came forward and looked at Wentian and Yi Huawei carefully. Seeing some scars on his body, she immediately showed worry in her eyes: "Uncle Xiang is injured?"

Xiang Wentian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just some minor injuries."

Ren Yingying frowned slightly and said, "Let's take care of the wound first." Then she turned around to get the medicine box.

Ren Yingying came over quickly with a medicine box. She treated Xiang Wentian's wound first, with gentle and skillful movements. Xiang Wentian looked at Ren Yingying, feeling deeply moved, and said, "Auntie, this time it's all thanks to Brother Yue. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away."

Ren Yingying looked up at Yi Huawei, blinked and said, "Thank you, sir."

While treating their wounds, the three of them started talking. Xiang Wentian told Ren Yingying in detail what happened to them at the bottom of the valley and how they escaped from the enemy's pursuit.

Ren Yingying listened, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a look of surprise. When she heard Xiang Wentian perform the "Small Method of Absorbing Energy into the Ground", she nodded slightly and said, "Although Uncle Xiang's Kung Fu cannot hurt people, it can play an unexpected role at critical moments."

Xiang Wentian smiled and said, "If the situation wasn't urgent, I wouldn't have used this trick."

After treating the wound, Ren Yingying turned to Xiang Wentian, frowning slightly, with a puzzled and anxious tone: "Uncle Xiang, you have been working for Dongfang Bubai, why are you being hunted down by Elder Huang and his followers?" (End of this chapter)
