1276 Primal Energy (1/2)
”Look, everyone! There are lights coming from the northern forest! Bro Bei must be trapped inside! Let's go give him a hand!”
Once they were out of the dungeon, the group decided to march into the forest to join the fight with Chen Xiaobei.
Liu Xuanxin was the more sensible one in the group, and had concluded that there was no way they could help Chen Xiaobei.
But she was the classic Jianghu heroine who was undaunted by the prospect of death.
If they were going to die anyway, she would rather die with Chen Xiaobei than be trapped inside that dungeon. Being able to take down a few enemies before she died was better than sitting on her hands and doing nothing.
So, she said nothing, and followed the others into the forest.
Including Liu Xuanxin, there were a total of 76 people. It was not exactly a large group but not a small one either.
Before they could even set foot into the forest, they were spotted.
”Guys! Over here! Liu Xuanxin has brought a group of people with her! Hurry!”
The disciples shouts alerted the other men in the forest. Soon, a group of Penglai elders and disciples walked out of the forest and surrounded Liu Xuanxin's group.
”Shit! Why are all the enemies here?” Beads of cold sweat trickled down Fang Zi'er's back.
Nearly the whole of Penglai, about 2000 men were present there, all surrounding them.
”That was a major miscalculation.” Qi Changsheng's face went pale. ”I thought we could help Bro Bei but we can't even protect ourselves. We're only adding to Bro Bei's problems.”
”F*ck! I really wanted to kill a few patsies! But all of the core elders are here. There's no way I can even make a single move! We're dead!” Xiahou Lingyuan felt like he had just been drenched with a bucket of ice cold water.
”It's not just the core elders. The co-faction leader is also here.”
Liu Xuanxin looked ahead.
The circle around them parted to make way for the co-faction leader.
”Hehe! My long search finally bore good results!” Yin Wuhuan looked straight at Liu Xuanxin. ”We couldn't catch that punk, but you group of idiots sent yourself right to my doorstep! Now that we've got you, where could that punk have ran off to?”
”Yin Wuhuan! You dog! Don't even think of touching a hair on Ms. Liu!”
Xia Hanjiang, Qi Changsheng and the others stood protectively in front of Liu Xuanxin.
”Huh? You?” Yin Wuhuan narrowed his eyes. ”Shouldn't all of you be locked inside that dungeon, awaiting your deaths? How did you get out? All your wounds are gone? How is that possible?”
”Humph! You have no right to ask about us!” Xiahou Lingyuan retorted.
”Hehe.” Instead of getting angry, Yin Wuhuan laughed. ”So, you got out and are completely healed of your injuries. It's like you've gained a new life! Why did you come running into a trap? Have your brains all melted into a puddle? You should know that there's no way I'm going to let you get away!”
Even more depressing was the mood of the group.
Chen Xiaobei had helped them in an inmeasurable way, basically giving them a new chance at life. Now unfortunately trapped by their enemies, the only life they would get was the afterlife!
The group felt sorry for wasting Chen Xiaobei's effort.
”What are you doing just standing there? If you don't wish to die, get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Who knows? I might take pity on you pathetic lot and spare your sorry lives!”
Yin Wuhuan smiled gleefully like a cat who had gotten its claws on a mouse.
