A venomous snake suddenly slithered out of the grass, its cold, triangular eyes staring directly at her.
Liang Qingqing couldn't help but curl her lips in sarcasm, "I say, you're a ninth-level Spirit Master, can't you stop acting so pathetic?" She acted like an ordinary person, whining and screaming at the slightest thing. Liang Qingqing found this woman utterly ridiculous.
Chen Baojia was truly like a startled bird, as if completely terrified by those previous few cannon blasts. She looked timid and terrified at everything. Hearing Liang Qingqing's sarcasm, Chen Baojia initially wanted to retort, but then she saw the cold glances from the others in their group. She suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, unable to speak. She was clearly not welcome in this group.
But what could she do? How could she, alone, get out of the Sun-Moon Divine Hall's back mountain gate? Of course, she had to follow them. Did they think she enjoyed seeing Qiao Mu's expression, or being force-fed public displays of affection all the way? She didn't want to spend another minute with that hateful Qiao Mu, but she had no choice.
"Go!" Saint Child Mi Yan waved his hand, leading everyone deeper into the path. This area was all forest. To be honest, if it weren't for the Saint Child leading the way, they might search for ten days or half a month and still not find such a secret path.
There was only one path to the Divine Hall's Holy Land, and Saint Child Mi Yan felt a bit apprehensive. What if the Divine Hall Master truly pursued them relentlessly into the Holy Land...? He gritted his teeth, then suddenly saw the little stoic turn her head and glance at him.
The Saint Child's expression stiffened slightly, and he instinctively retorted, "What are you looking at?"
The little stoic said expressionlessly, "In the secret realm, why did you give up pursuing the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels?"
Saint Child Mi Yan was stunned for a long while before sighing, "The Divine Hall is already in such a state; there's no point in me pursuing such a supreme holy artifact anymore." As he spoke, he looked utterly disheartened, which was quite inconsistent with his previous arrogant demeanor.
The little stoic gave him a faint glance. "If the Divine Hall Master comes chasing with his people later..."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way for you to leave."
Upon saying this, the little stoic inexplicably felt a bit uneasy and glanced at him, saying, "What do you mean?"
"Ah!!" Chen Baojia's startled cry interrupted their conversation. She pointed a trembling finger at the hillside diagonally opposite them. Everyone glanced over and saw a large group of Divine Hall guards surging towards them.
Chen Baojia shrieked hysterically, "He, he betrayed us! He betrayed us!" The direction she pointed was, naturally, Saint Child Mi Yan.
The Saint Child's eyes faintly swept over her, not bothering to address what the brainless woman was saying. He retracted his gaze and said to everyone, "Follow me!"
As Saint Child Mi Yan moved, everyone followed him quickly. They put force into their steps, rushing towards the end of the small path. Ahead was a mountain wall. Saint Child Mi Yan punched the air, striking a bronze disc embedded in the mountain wall. The bronze disc, carved with sun and moon patterns, rattled and spun with the impact. It slowly rotated clockwise, little by little.
A mountain wall door beside it instantly rose upward with a whoosh. Saint Child Mi Yan roared, "Go in!" Everyone rushed into the long tunnel without the slightest hesitation.
