The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

The two fell into the water, and Wang Jiuling felt that the water was icy cold.

He quickly pulled Gongsun Lü'e ashore, where he picked up the longsword he had just thrown down.

At this moment, Gongsun Lü'e was trembling all over, whether from the cold water in the pool or from being frightened, it was hard to tell.

Tears welled up instantly, and I felt an overwhelming sadness.

She never expected her father to be so crazy.

At this moment, no matter how cold the pool of water was, it could not compare to the desolation in Gongsun Lü'e's heart.

She stared in despair at the seemingly unreachable entrance to the mechanism above her, thinking to herself:

Am I destined to perish here today? I am truly ashamed for implicating Master Wang.

She turned to look at Wang Jiuling, only to find that Wang Jiuling's expression was not as anxious or reproachful as she had imagined.

Wang Jiuling was circulating his inner energy to accelerate the evaporation of moisture from his clothes when he sensed Gongsun Lü'e's gaze and assumed she was heartbroken because of Gongsun Zhi.

He walked over and injected a stream of innate Nine Yang True Qi into Gongsun Lü'e's body. Gongsun Lü'e felt a warm sensation, and her cold body felt a little better.

He didn't advise Gongsun Lü'e to ignore Gongsun Zhi's behavior; he simply pointed to the cold pool and said:

"The water in this cold pool is flowing water, so there must be another way out here."

Wang Jiuling had somewhat forgotten how Yang Guo and Gongsun Lü'e found Qiu Qianchi and discovered a way out in the original story.

"Master, you don't blame me for dragging you into this?"

Wang Jiuling was taken aback by Gongsun Lü'e's words, but he quickly understood and shook his head.

"I can't stand people committing evil deeds in front of me, or aiding and abetting wickedness."

"I have done this in the past, and I will continue to do this in the future."

"If I suffer because of this, it is because I am not capable enough."

Wang Jiuling was serious when he said that.

He originally intended to kill Li Mochou. Although Gongsun Zhi was shameless, he couldn't just kill someone in public because of their shamelessness.

But now that old man is acting so arrogantly right in front of him, he really doesn't take him seriously.

Such a villain, after he leaves, Wang Jiuling intends to bury him with Li Mochou.

Seeing Wang Jiuling's extremely upright behavior, Gongsun Lü'e couldn't help but laugh.

"So this is what chivalry is. I've only ever seen it in books before."

Just then, Wang Jiuling frowned and looked around at the pool.

Suddenly, the once calm pool began to ripple.

However, the ripples were very subtle; if Wang Jiuling hadn't cultivated the Innate Skill and possessed keen senses, he probably wouldn't have been able to see them.

The next second, Wang Jiuling flashed away from where he stood.

Suddenly, a huge creature leaped ashore from the water. It was dark and, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a crocodile.

Not only that, the ripples on the surrounding water grew larger, and the next second, three or four more crocodiles pounced out of the water and headed straight for Wang Jiuling.

Gongsun Lü'e was startled. "Daoist, be careful!" Seeing Wang Jiuling surrounded, she disregarded the danger and tried to help him. Even as a crocodile was about to bite her from the side, she did not back down.

"Step back!" Wang Jiuling turned around, reached out and patted her shoulder, a gentle palm force pushing her backward.

A few mere beasts are hardly worth Gongsun Lü'e's help in rescuing Wang Jiuling.

With a flick of his longsword, he sliced ​​open the belly of the leaping crocodile, then turned and dodged the attacks of the other crocodiles.

With his agility, the crocodiles couldn't do anything to him.

With flashing sword shadows and surging true energy, the water in the pool was splashed up. Before long, the crocodiles were killed and thrown into the pool.

Their blood dyed the pool water a different color.

However, Wang Jiuling did not relax at all, because the sound of water could already be heard nearby.

Clearly, more crocodiles were attracted by the smell of blood.

Wang Jiuling, holding Gongsun Lü'e's hand, used the Golden Goose Technique to quickly move upstream along the cold pool.

"The air is circulating here, let's keep going."

After the two got rid of the crocodiles behind them, Wang Jiuling felt that the air in front of him was no longer as humid as before, and the light was also brighter.

A gentle breeze caressed our faces as we walked.

Wang Jiuling knew that the exit of the crocodile pool was probably just ahead.

Gongsun Lü'e did not respond for a long time. When Wang Jiuling turned around, he noticed that her face was pale.

It turned out that Gongsun Lü'e had already been injured by Gongsun Zhi and then fell into the cold pool.

She was not Wang Jiuling after all, and she did not have profound internal strength to protect her.

Although Wang Jiuling had a burst of true energy to help them, just now, in order to get rid of the crocodile, Wang Jiuling used his lightness skill with her, and as they moved quickly, there was wind in front of them.

Her clothes were already soaked, and now the cold wind made them even more soaked, causing her to shiver.

She didn't utter a sound the whole way.

When Wang Jiuling saw that her clothes were completely covering her body, revealing a glimpse of her skin, he quickly turned his head away.

He took off his Taoist robe, his true energy was incredibly powerful, and he kept circulating his power. With the help of his journey, the robe was now mostly dry, only slightly damp.

"Take off your coat and put this on."

Wang Jiuling didn't turn around, but simply handed his coat to Gongsun Lü'e behind his back, and then waited.

"Thank you... thank you, Taoist priest!"

Gongsun Lü'e was so cold that her teeth were chattering, and she thought of Gongsun Zhi again.

Although Gongsun Lü'e was the eldest daughter of the Valley of Heartbreak, Gongsun Zhi treated her no better than the servants.

She was often bossed around, and she always accepted it passively.

Now, for the first time, she defied orders for the sake of the Valley of Heartbreak and for her father, but instead of his understanding, she was met with his deadly attack.

She stared at Wang Jiuling's retreating figure, her gaze lingering on him for a moment.

Feeling Wang Jiuling's breath on her coat, her pale face flushed slightly.

But when Gongsun Lü'e put on the coat, she touched the pocket and pulled out a small purse.

Looking at the purse, Gongsun Lü'e paused, opened her mouth slightly but made no sound, and silently put the purse back.

"Master, I...I'm healed!"

Wang Jiuling turned around and saw that she had already changed her clothes, so he nodded.

Let's go!

After changing her clothes, Gongsun Lü'e felt warmer and her steps quickened.

The two followed the current for an unknown distance until they finally saw light falling ahead.

Passing through the crevice in the rocks, we found ourselves in a natural cave.

This cave is incredibly spacious, with an opening overhead.

Unbeknownst to them, night had already fallen, and the light was the glow of the bright moon shining down from the cave entrance.

"Master! There really is an exit here!"

Gongsun Lü'e ran to the bottom of the cave and looked up in surprise. Wang Jiuling also went over.

But soon, their expressions turned serious.

The cave entrance is located above, at least ten feet high, making it difficult to climb up.

Because the rock wall below the cave entrance is tilted at a negative angle, like an inverted funnel.

"Miss Gongsun, please allow me to give it a try!"

Gongsun Lü'e nodded and stepped back. Wang Jiuling touched the ground with his feet and rushed towards the stone wall.

It didn't go straight up.

Instead, he kept stepping on the stone wall with both feet, tilting it upwards to gain leverage.

This is a light-body technique from the Quanzhen Golden Goose Skill.

It's called "The Ladder to Heaven".

This martial art requires extremely strong internal energy to support it, allowing one to climb vertical walls using leverage.

However, Wang Jiuling only managed to climb halfway up the stone wall. As the angle of the wall became increasingly negative as he went higher, he had nowhere left to use for leverage and eventually fell gracefully to the ground.

He shook his head at Gongsun Lü'e.

"It's not easy to get up there; I have nowhere to use my light-foot technique!"

Just as the two were thinking of another way, a sinister voice rang out from a dark corner.

"Young man! You're so young, yet you possess such profound internal strength!"

"But you can't get up there using just your light-footed skills!"
