Ruoyu and Lu Yanran were unconscious for a good amount of time, Lu Yanran only woke up now as she sat down on the ground properly and found Ruoyu, who was still unconscious, didn't had his mask as usual. And she found the mask broken beside Ruoyu's head.
Ruoyu suddenly moved and opened his and asked Lu Yanran with concern: "Yanran, are you alright? Nothing happened, right?"
"I am fine but your mask is...." Lu Yanran lowered her head.
Ruoyu widened his eyes in surprise and hastily took the broken mask from Lu Yanran.
"Ruoyu believe me, it fell by itself. It really has nothing to do with me. Don't blame me for this, ok? You should try to fix it together." Lu Yanran quickly explained herself.
Ruoyu faintly smiled and shook his head gently: "Never mind. The mask has already been broken. It won't return to it's original state again. I will return and...accept my punishment."
Lu Yanran suddenly felt a bit guilty, so swiftly changed the subject, "I wonder how Sifeng and the others are doing? Hey, we shouldn't waste any time, so lets go and find them!"
She got up from the ground and stood up, ready to leave. Lu Yanran looked at Ruoyu, who was still sitting down on the ground and smiled: "Let's go." Ruoyu sighed deeply and stood up and started to walk with Lu Yanran.
Meanwhile, Zhong Minyan and Chu Linglong crouched behind a big piller.
Several men in black were conversing between themselves: "Did any of you discover anything out of ordinary?" The other men shook their head. "Stop wasting our time here then. Our leader asked us to search from top to bottom. We definitely must find those cultivator from the righteous sects and obtain the spirit key." The man, who was leading the other mysterious men said expressionlessly. The rest nodded their heads and left.
The men in black were precisely the people from Tianxu Sect and were ordered to catch Xuanji and the rest from Wu Tong!
Zhong Minyan and Chu Linglong sighed in relief and started to stroll around the temple.
"I wonder in Xuanji and the others are safe." Chu Linglong was mostly worried about her little sister, Chu Xuanji.
"You have the sound bell with you, right? Try and see if you can contact Xuanji," Zhong Minyan eyes shone full of anticipation.
"You are right." Chu Linglong took the sound bell from her waist and used magic to communicate with Xuanji. "Xuanji, can you hear me? Hello, is there anyone?"
At the same time, at Xuanji and Yu Sifeng's place, Xuanji melodious voice echoed: "Linglong, I am here. How are you doing now?"
"I am here with Minyan. We are fine here. Where are you? We will try to look for you." Linglong replied. "No need, don't come to find us. Sifeng and I are at the bottom of a valley. The undercurrent took us to an unknown location. So, you don't need to find us. And don't worry about me. You should leave Mount Gao now." Xuanji declined the offer to find them.
"But how can we leave here with you guys, moreover, we don't know the present location of Yanran and Ruoyu." "We don't particularly know where we are now but we are safe and sound here. And we will find a way out later. But, it is very dangerous for you and Minyan to stay there. Now, you just should go to Fuyu Island to report. Ruoyu and Yanran probably will be fine.
We will try to contact them after we leave this place." It was Sifeng, who replied this time and ensured Chu Linglong and Zhong Minyan.
"Okay, you guys watch out for any trouble. The sprit key is hidden inside the destiny pearl on Xuanji's hand. Both of you should quickly rush back to Fuyu Island and hand it over to the elders over there. See you on Fuyu Island."
After they finished speaking, Xuanji faintly smiled at Sifeng and said: "It is good they are fine. But the thing I didn't expect was that the destiny pearl to attract the attention of demons from Tianxu Sect. And I didn't expect Wu Tong to be one of them as well."
"I am afraid the Xuanyuan sect is gone now. If it weren't for Mount Gao's complex structure, we would have been gone as well. It seems like the Tianxu hall is far more powerful than we thought. If our sect don't work together against them, they will become a big threat in the future-" Before Sifeng could finish coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Xuanji quickly supported Yu Sifeng's shoulder and said in a worried tone: "Sifeng, are your wounds hurting again. You were severely wounded, you clearly need some food to recover your energy. Wait for me, I will find you some food."
"Ok, be careful." Yu Sifeng curled his lips upwards in amusement.
"Don't worry. I don't have no problem in finding food." Chu Xuanji confidently said.
