Chapter 256: 256 – Pinch to Death
Instantly, Zhuang Huanling thought of a person named Hong Shixian.
She was instantly consumed by rage, but she also knew, that Hong Shixian was full of tricks and always managed to surprise people unexpectedly.
If Hong Shixian was suddenly stirring, there must be some other situation cropped up; it was impossible that he just stood up for some simple activities.
“Shuier, look at those two people, don’t they resemble Hong Shixian and his little brother just by their figures?” Zhuang Huanling poked Gong Shuier’s arm.
Gong Shuier also took a look, and found, surprisingly, that the figures did somewhat match her impression.
“Hiss, it does look similar. Could that really be Hong Shixian?”
” This sneaky guy has many tricks. At this time, when everyone is thinking about how to break out, they are standing up and walking backward. There must be a conspiracy. Shall we follow and see?”
As Zhuang Huanling said, she had already started to follow. Gong Shuier had no choice but to accompany her since Zhuang Huanling had been left with a hard lump to swallow several times by Jiang Xiaobai.
She was afraid that this time, the other party would firmly control Zhuang Huanling.
The two of them followed behind, using the stone forest as a cover, and gradually caught up.
They saw Jiang Xiaobai and the others quickly turn around to escape after they were out of sight.
“As expected, there’s a problem. Huh, after being bullied by you before, I will reclaim my reputation this time.”
Zhuang Huanling snorted coldly, didn’t waist any words and rushed out, openly exposing her aura, with the purpose of forcing the people in front to stop.
As expected, feeling the presence of Zhuang Huanling and the others, Xiao Yuwei had everyone stop.
“So it’s the Seventeenth Princess of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. What are you guys heading towards?” Zhuang Huanling had put on a cold front with a veil on her face and spoke coldly.
“You must be the Holy Lady of Jade Top Mountain. What we are going to do, does it have anything to do with you?” Xiao Yuwei responded nonchalantly without revealing any hints.
Seeing this, Zhuang Huanling chuckled and nodded her head, “Not bad, well-prepared. But do you think I wouldn’t know?”
“Hong Shixian, you surely have other plans, don’t you?”
Zhuang Huanling suddenly spoke up in such a manner, which immediately made Xiao Yuwei tremble.
Could it be that Jiang Bai had even angered the Holy Lady of Jade Top Mountain?
What she didn’t know was that it was not just anger, but rather it had reached the point of no reconciliation.
“Hong Shixian, what Hong Shixian, lady, what are you talking about?” Jiang Xiaobai deliberately baffled in a lower voice.
Yet, the moment Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth, Zhuang Huanling had completely confirmed it.
“Well done, Hong Shixian, don’t want to admit it, right? Fine, I will just shout your name out loud, I refuse to believe you can keep pretending.” Zhuang Huanling mocked.
Having said that, she was about to shout out loud, Xiao Yuwei immediately spoke up, “Hold on!”
“Oh? What is Princess doing?”
Looking at Zhuang Huanling, Xiao Yuwei felt quite resentful in her heart. She had been so careful, yet was eventually discovered.
Now, at any cost, they cannot be exposed. Otherwise, they will lose the last chance to struggle for the advantage.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yuwei finally said reluctantly, “Holy Lady, since you know it all, I won’t talk nonsense. We can go together, but you must not expose it!”
“As expected, you guys have really discovered some other way to leave the stone forest.”
Zhuang Huanling giggled. After that, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai, “Hong Shixian, you’re lucky this time. I won’t bicker with you.”
“I told you, I’m not Hong Shixian.” Jiang Xiaobai still stubbornly denied it.
At this time, he was highly suspicious that this woman was just trying to provoke him.
“Humph, say whatever you want, but if I get another chance next time, I won’t spare you.”
Zhuang Huanling finished speaking without any delay and directly instructed the other disciples from Jade Top Mountain and Purple Garden Mountain to quietly come over.
These two factions totals over thirty people. Originally, they would not attract much attention, but now, the risk is indeed too great.
“Let’s go quickly, we don’t want to miss this opportunity to go first.” Zhuang Huanling spoke nonchalantly.
After all, cultivators are not merciful people. They always adhere to one principle.
Better you die than me.
If there is a chance to go to Death Swamp first, who cares about the life and death of others?
Right then, a group of people quietly left without making a sound undetected because everyone else’s attention was fixated on discussing how to break out.
After leaving, Jiang Xiaobai led his people non-stop towards the cave tunnel they had discovered earlier.
When everyone entered the tunnel, they were all shocked.
The way they looked at Jiang Xiaobai was indeed like seeing a ghost.
“How did you do that? How can your methods be so terrifying?” Zhuang Huanling looked at Jiang Xiaobai in astonishment.
This sneaky guy, seems to possess some kind of massive power that allows him to accomplish anything?
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t explain any of this. In fact, he didn’t even respond to such a question.
This almost angered Zhuang Huanling to death. She had already noted this in her heart.
“Humph, let you show off for now. Once we enter the Mad Demon Secret Land, I’ll definitely find a chance to kill you!” Zhuang Huanling thought to herself.
Soon, everyone had left the cave tunnel.
After leaving, Xiao Yuwei exclaimed excitedly, “It really is the Death Swamp!”
“Hong Shixian, you do have some capabilities. I’ll spare your life for now, but once we enter, don’t let me catch an opportunity.”
Leaving these words behind, Zhuang Huanling led her disciples and left.
She didn’t want to expose Jiang Xiaobai’s identity, but for now, Jiang Xiaobai was with Xiao Yuwei, meaning he belonged to the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
If she did so, she would undoubtedly offend Xiao Yuwei, and it would be trouble in future.
At this time of burning urgency, Zhuang Huanling decided to make quick gains and head straight to the Mad Demon Secret Land.
Xiao Yuwei also didn’t waste any time and directly led her people to leave the place.
Now, time is everything!
Little did they know, after they left the cave, three figures also emerged from within.
“Big Brother, this kid is strange!”
“Humph, strange or not, we three brothers are now not far from success. As long as we enter the Mad Demon Secret Land, it will be this bastard’s end!”
“Big Brother is wise!”
“Big Brother is powerful!”
“Let’s go!”
At the stone forest, someone finally stepped out to take the lead.
It was the eldest princess of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Ruyu.
She also knew that continuing like this is not the solution, the only choice was to unite everyone and make a dash for it.
Just as she was about to assemble the team, she suddenly found something amiss.
Why was her seventeen girl, who always did not have much presence, missing?
Not only that, in the larger group of the combined forces of the sects, why were the teams of Jade Top Mountain and Purple Garden Mountain missing?
“Oh no, there’s a problem!”
In an instant, Xiao Ruyu realized what was going on.
