    At this moment, there was another explosion in the depths of the grotto behind the two of them, and a white light pierced through the darkness from afar, sending out a gust of sharp whistles from the silver butterflies.

    Both of them looked up in unison, and their faces both changed slightly. Xie Ren loosened the sleeve of Hua Cheng that he was grasping and said, “We’ll talk about it later!”

    So the two of them continued to walk, only, this time, there was an additional action of holding each other’s hands tightly.

    Xie Ren’s face was still hot, and she forced herself to calmly say as if nothing had happened, “Sanlang, how did you find out that those two Fengxin and Muyi were fakes? What about the real ones now?”

    Hua Cheng was in the same state as him and said, “I have left two dead spirit butterflies to guard those two losers, how can there be two more? Your Highness, don’t worry, I’m fine, I won’t die!”

    Xie Ren said, “We have to go and release Feng Xin and Mu情 from their cocoons before we can do that, otherwise it’ll be bad if he bumps into us and doesn’t have the power to fight back!”

    Hua Cheng said, “This way, follow me!”

    This Ten Thousand Gods Cave is really his territory, even if there are five or six intersections, he can immediately and accurately determine which one to take, and in a short while, he returned to the place where he had separated before. From afar, I could hear the two of them blaming each other again: “Why did you let His Highness run away? Now it’s good, you’ve carried the person away!” “If you didn’t run, did you stay here and wait for him to kill you?” “What? You just wanted him to lure the city away!”

    Xie Ren cried and laughed. The two large white cocoons on the wall were tearing and cursing at each other, and when they saw him return, they were so shocked that they forgot to spit out their mouths full of white silk and said, “How did you escape?”

    Xie Ren’s hat is still on the ground, he hurriedly picked it up and put it on his back. Heavy white silk let go of those two people, shrinking back to the dark place, Feng Xin and Mu Yi were beaten up, can hardly land, and see Hua Cheng from the dark place behind Xie Ren walked out, probably feel that another beating, things are in trouble, are a face twitch. Feng Xin was about to grab Xie Ren’s arm and pull back, when Xie Ren took the lead and pulled Hua Cheng.

    Feng Xin: “???? His Highness the Prince?”

    Flower City was already leading the way, “Brother, go this way.”

    How dare those two follow him, Feng Xin said, “Your Highness, why are you still with him?”

    For her part, Muoi said, “I told you he was mesmerized and lost his mind, didn’t I?”

    Xie Ren didn’t clash with them either, but just pulled Hua Cheng very gently but firmly and said, “There’s no time to explain, anyway, all of them should go first. There are enemies chasing after us!”

    Hua Cheng was pulled by him, his gaze flickered slightly, and after a moment, he smiled and said, “I suggest you guys cut the crap and just follow. In a good mood, I won’t bother with you guys for now.”

    Seeing this, the two of them were both in disbelief and disbelief. With their mindsets, they couldn’t figure out how Xie Ren was still able to walk together as if nothing had happened with such a terrifying dead ghost who had been spying on him for over 800 years, and whose mind was filled with unspeakable thoughts all day long. Simply playing with fire and burning himself. Mu Qi was half-convinced and finally chose another focus, asking, ”You said there are enemies? This Ten Thousand Gods Cave is his territory, what enemies could there be? That wound on his face was scratched by an enemy? There aren’t many under the heavens that can make the Blood Rain Scout get injured, right?”

    Xie Ren said, “It’s Bai Wu Xiang.”

    Upon hearing this name, both Feng Xin and Mu Yi’s faces changed as well. Then, without saying a word, they followed Xie Ren and left.

    Because, they were all more than clear that it was possible for Xie Ren to joke or lie about anything, but this was the only person who would never do so. He would also never recognize a mistake. A group of people were still fighting within this Ten Thousand Gods Cave, but now they were all running wildly together. Mu Qi said, “What the hell is going on?!”

    Xie Ren then told about the white clothed man transforming into the two of them, and both of them were shocked, “Transforming into us? How is that possible!”

    Xie Ren said, “It’s true! Although I didn’t look closely in the rush, at first glance it was the two of you!”

    Feng Xin was stunned, “But how could Bai Wuxiang still be in this world? Wasn’t he killed by the Emperor?”

    Mu Ai said, “Thinking about it, I know that this kind of thing can be killed so easily. It may have killed it at the time, but it can still resurface when it catches a chance!”

    Xie Ren remembered something and turned to Hua Cheng, “Sanlang! Earlier, when we had just entered the Copper Furnace Mountain not long ago, you suddenly woke up from your state of slumber and urged us to immediately send out to avoid something. It was him that you sensed at that time, wasn’t it?”

    Hua Cheng nodded slightly and said, “It’s him.”

    Xie Ren muttered, ”Sure enough! Later on, he chose the western fork in the road, and the one in the east who killed thousands of demons and devils was also him. He was reborn, but he was still a bit weak and needed to kill the demons and devils that entered the Copper Furnace Mountain as a stepping stone for him to build up his mana …… Now, he’s recovered and I’m afraid he’s even stronger.”

    After all, that was the world’s first Jedi Ghost King!

    As he was talking, Mu Yi realized something was wrong and said, “Your Highness, where is he taking us you know? This doesn’t seem like we’re on our way out?”

    Flower City, however, said, “This is certainly not the way out, because there’s no way out now.”

    Feng Xin was appalled, “What? Isn’t this cave your territory, it’s not so bad that you’re lost too.”

    Xie Ren said, “Of course it is not to ……” Flower City, on the other hand, said, “Because White Wuxiang is now blocking the road that must be taken to leave this cave, you think that you can fight him in this state now don t go with me, I will definitely not stop. Please.”

    After all, Feng Xin and Mu Yi were also from Xian Le country, and like Xie Ren, they also had an indelible shadow over that thing, and they definitely did not want to go up against him unless they had to. Feng Xin looked at the top of the grotto and said, “Can we just punch through the roof of the grotto and go out?”

    Flower City taunted, “There are snowy mountains up there, do you want another avalanche.”

    It was a pity that the Geomancer’s Shovel had been left for Citation Jade’s emergency, they hadn’t brought it with them, and none of them had studied how to use it, or else they would have been able to dig their way out of the room without a sound. Feng Xin said, “Then what are we doing walking around in a mess now?”

    Xie Ren said, “As long as we wander off, he will catch up as well and will leave that path that is necessary to get out, and then the rest of us will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to get out.”

    Muoi was sensitive, “Wait, the rest of them? You mean you’re going to split the army into two? One way as bait to lure him away, and the other way to escape on their own?”

    Xie Ren said, “Exactly! The matter of Bai Wu Xiang re-emerging must be notified to the Emperor, after you guys go out, find a way to bring the news to the Upper Heavenly Court ……”

    Muoi interrupted him, “Wait a little longer! You’ve already decided who will be the bait and who will leave here?”

    Xie Ren shook his head and said, “It wasn’t me who decided this, but rather Bai Wu Xiang.”

    Mu Qi was speechless. Choosing who to chase after was really not up to them. If they had to choose between them who Bai Wu Xiang was most interested in pursuing, then it would have to be Xie Ren!

    Without thinking, Feng Xin said, “I’ll stay and deal with him with you.”

    Once upon a time when something happened, Mu Ai would definitely be the one that Xie Ren sent back to report the news, while Feng Xin would definitely be the one that stayed behind to assist him. Right now, it seemed like this scene was going to be repeated, but Xie Ren looked at Hua Cheng and said, ”Many thanks! However, there is no need. Sanlang will stay.”

    Windsong said offhandedly, “How can he stay? He ……”

    The peaks of Hua Cheng’s eyebrows were slightly austere, but Xie Ren said, “He can. I trust him.”

    His tone was soft, but his attitude was resolute, so Feng Xin couldn’t help but be stunned and said, “Your Highness.”

    Xie Ren patted him on the shoulder and said, ”You guys go together. Copper Furnace Mountain is already closed, it’s hard to say if you can break out or not. Moreover, don’t you still have to find …… Lan Calam and their mother and son?”

    Being reminded by him, Feng Xin’s face grayed. A Necromantic Butterfly flew out from the totem of the wrist guard on Hua Cheng’s arm, and Hua Cheng said, “Follow it.”

    The two men looked at Hua Cheng, then at Xie Ren, and finally, Mu Yi dropped a sentence, “You guys pay attention.” Then he turned around and followed the silver butterfly, diving headlong into another cave passage. A short while later, Feng Xin also followed.

    The four of them split up at this fork in the road, and Xie Ren had just watched their backs disappear when another burst of sound came from the distance. The remaining two glanced at each other, and Hua Cheng said in a deep voice, “It’s coming.”

    Xie Ren said, “You take me away.”

    The man in white was indeed heading straight for Xie Ren. Hua Cheng continuously set up Dead Spirit Butterfly formations along the road, forming barriers to ensure that the white-robed man would always keep a distance from them, while monitoring the situation on several different roads. Every time the sound of explosions and the shrill whistles of the Necromantic Spirit Butterflies were heard, his expression would become heavier, and Xie Ren also heard a slight pain in his heart. Seven turns, around and around, turned to a grotto, he could not help but say, “Actually …… lost so many silver butterflies.”

    Although those Necrotic Butterflies had a bad reputation outside, in Xie Ren’s eyes, they were all nothing more than well-behaved and cute little elves, and it was impossible to resist the heartache of launching a suicidal attack like this just to hold the enemy’s footsteps back for a moment. Flower City, on the other hand, let out a cold smile, his gaze seemed to penetrate through the heavy rock walls, and said in a deep voice, ”Don’t worry. If he kills one, I will build ten more. Blast the wind and rain, never stop, let’s see who can’t hold out first.”

    Xie Ren’s heart inexplicably moved, secretly said, “…… bad, bad.”

    Although this look on Hanagi’s face was just an unintentional flow, he was really a bit overwhelmed by this kind of confidence with ruthlessness and rebelliousness.

    After a few more moments, Hua Cheng slowed down his steps, as if he had received some kind of signal, and said to Xie Ren, “He’s been lured away. Those two are already almost out.”

    Xie Ren said, “Great! We can take our time and figure it out.”

    Flower City said, “Well. There’s no rush. I’ve already shaken him off for a long distance, so now I can hide here for a while and think of a way to deal with it.”

    “……”

    Who knows, all of a sudden, the atmosphere between the two became a bit awkward.

    It wasn’t that kind of embarrassment of losing face, it was just somehow a little embarrassed. Originally, the back of the things chasing tight, there are still wind letter and Mu love present, this feeling is not obvious. Although just said “later”, but now a little breath, already “later”, but do not know how to say.

    Xie Ren lightly coughed twice, one finger scratching his cheek, feeling how the posture was not quite right. Wanting to open her mouth, but worrying that it might not cut in the wrong way, be too boring, or too deliberate, she could only hope that Hua Cheng would speak first. However, Hanagi also had a tense face, seemingly thinking seriously about the strategy to deal with the enemy. However, it was hard to tell if he was really thinking about it, because the hand he had behind his back seemed to be shaking slightly.

    At this time, the duo passed by an idol. Most of the idols in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods were the size of a real person, this one was rougher in craftsmanship and half the size. As Xie Ren passed by, he casually removed the veil covering its head, his eyes lit up and he said, “Sanlang, did you make this one too?”

    Hua Cheng took a look and fell silent. It was only after a long time that he said, “An early hand-born work. Brother don’t look at it.”

    This is absolutely the truth. Because this statue of God, really molded ugly, although you can see that the statue people have tried their best to restore their mind that perfect image, but the craft is limited, not perfect, although you can not say that the nose is crooked, crooked and cracked, but you can say that this small statue of the head and body is not appropriate, smiling as if the mind has a handicap.

    However, despite this, he had meticulously completed all the details. As such, Xie Ren could tell that it was a statue of Prince Yue. Even his pair of red coral bead earrings were lit.

    Xie Ren silently covered his mouth and turned his head. In order to act as natural as possible, he even rubbed his face hard. Speechless, Hua Cheng once again said, “Your Highness, don’t look.” Saying this, he was about to put the veil back on. Xie Ren was busy saying, “Don’t misunderstand! I really think it’s cute!” But come to think of it, wasn’t it him that Flower City was sculpting? If he complimented this thing for being cute, wasn’t he in effect complimenting himself for being cute? With his eyes wide open, Thee also had a thick skin and still couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Seeing this, Hua Cheng also lowered his head and lowered his eyes and laughed.

    In this way, with a double smile, the inexplicably jittery and raw atmosphere was washed away.

    Continuing forward, he passed another reclining statue, lying horizontally on a stone bed, but his entire body was covered by a layer of light smoke-like white veil. Xie Ren was very curious, and just wanted to lift the white veil covering the statue to have a look, but Hua Cheng grabbed his wrist at once and said, “Your Highness!”

    Since entering the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods, Hua Cheng has been calling him “Your Highness” most of the time. When Xie Ren looked at him, Hua Cheng let go of the hand that was holding onto him, still looking a bit uncomfortable.

    Xie Ren said, “I already know this is my idol, still can’t I see it?”

    Hua Cheng said, “If brother wants to see the idol, I carved the best one brother hasn’t seen yet, after that I will give you a good look. Don’t even look at the ones in this cave.”

    Xie Ren was puzzled, ”Why? I think that all of the idols in this Ten Thousand Gods Cave, you’ve carved them very well, really well. I’d feel bad if I couldn’t see them. Speaking of which, that mural ……”

    Who knows, Flower City immediately said, “I’ll go and destroy it.”

    Seeing that he was actually really going to move, Xie Ren hurriedly pulled him back, saying, “Don’t don’t don’t! Why do you want to destroy! Just because I saw it? Well well well …… I’ll be honest, actually I only saw a little bit of it, just the upper yuan festival tour, the military camp that a few paragraphs, a lot of it is not finished, because the wind letter Mu love and the two of them do not allow me to see it, so I simply do not know what you drew. You do not go to destroy ah!”

    “……”

    Only then did Hua Cheng turn his face and said, “Really?”

    Xie Ren pulled him along and said sincerely, “Seriously. You don’t want me to look, I won’t just look.”

    Hua Cheng seemed vaguely relieved and smiled, “There’s nothing to see. Whatever you want to see, just let me draw it directly.”

    With this reaction from him, Xie Ren was really even more curious. But he didn’t want to force Flower City to destroy those precious murals themselves, so he had to forcefully press himself. After walking a few steps, he suddenly frowned and said, “…… Something is not right.”
