Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Mo Chen ignored the Palace Master's ridicule. He took a deep breath and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body. Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from his body, and the air around him seemed to solidify.

The Palace Master felt the aura of Mo Chen and her expression changed slightly. She was secretly surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that Mo Chen's strength was so powerful.

Mo Chen rushed towards the Palace Master with his sword in hand. His swordsmanship was like flowing water, and each move contained endless power.

The Palace Master did not dare to underestimate the enemy. She used her unique skills and started a fierce duel with Mo Chen.

The two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to separate them for a while. The people around were attracted by their fight and stopped what they were doing to watch them intently.

During the battle, Mo Chen discovered that although the Palace Master was powerful, her moves had some flaws. So he deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the Palace Master into taking the bait.

The Palace Master fell into the trap. She thought Mo Chen had revealed a flaw, so she attacked without hesitation. However, just as her attack was about to hit Mo Chen, Mo Chen suddenly dodged her attack and stabbed the Palace Master in the chest with a backhanded sword.

The palace master was horrified, and it was too late for her to dodge. Mo Chen's sword pierced her chest fiercely, and blood gushed out immediately.

The Palace Master covered his chest, looked at Mo Chen in disbelief, and said, "You...how could you..."

Mo Chen looked at the Palace Master and said coldly, "If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. You asked for this all by yourself."

The Palace Master knew that the situation was hopeless. She looked at Mo Chen and the others unwillingly, then slowly fell down.

When the guards of the Nether Palace saw the Palace Master being killed, they immediately became confused. Mo Chen and others took the opportunity to escape from the Nether Palace.

They ran all the way until they were sure that no one was chasing them, and then they stopped.

Ye Ling'er looked at Mo Chen, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration, and said, "Brother Mo Chen, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Mo Chen looked at Ye Ling'er with a smile and said, "Ling'er, I said, I will protect you forever."

Lu Yuan and Ye Qianmo also came over. Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, we finally succeeded this time. But it was really thrilling!"

Ye Qianmo nodded and said, "Yeah, luckily we are all fine."

Lu Yuan frowned, his doubts growing stronger. He looked at Ye Ling'er and Mo Chen, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Let's find a place to rest first." Lu Yuan suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, and they came to a nearby town and found an inn to stay.

In the room, Lu Yuan sat on a chair, tapping his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something. Ye Qianmo walked over and asked softly, "Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you? You have been worried since you came out of the Nether Palace."

Lu Yuan raised his head, glanced at Ye Qianmo, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Qianmo, I always feel that something is wrong this time. Ye Ling'er seems to have been guiding us."

Ye Qianmo was slightly stunned, and asked with some confusion: "Guide us? What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the street outside, and said slowly: "Think about it, since we met Ye Ling'er, everything has been too smooth."

"She just fainted right where we were passing by, and we took her back to the inn."

"Then, she suddenly regained consciousness and told us to leave the Nether Palace quickly, otherwise the Palace Master would not let us go."

"Moreover, during the escape, she was always able to find flaws in time and lead us to break out. Isn't all this too coincidental?"

Ye Qianmo fell into deep thought after hearing Lu Yuan's words. She recalled her experiences in the Nether Palace and felt that something was indeed strange. "But why did Ling'er do this? We saved her." Ye Qianmo asked in confusion.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what her purpose is. Maybe she has some unspeakable secrets, or she is being used by someone."

At this moment, Mo Chen and Ye Ling'er walked in from outside. Seeing that Lu Yuan and Ye Qianmo looked a little serious, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? What are you talking about?"

Lu Yuan glanced at Ye Ling'er, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. Ye Ling'er felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, and she lowered her head subconsciously.

"Nothing, we are just discussing the next itinerary." Lu Yuan said lightly.

Mo Chen came over and said, "Ling'er said she wanted to go home and see the world. I plan to go with her."

Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he said, "Oh? Where is Ling'er's home?"

Ye Ling'er raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and said, "It's in a very remote place called Qingfeng Town."

"Qingfeng Town?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly. He had heard of this place.

"Then let's go together. I can also give you a ride." Lu Yuan said.

Ye Ling'er waved her hands and said, "No, it's too much trouble for you. We can go back by ourselves."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a problem. We don't have anything to do anyway. Besides, after what happened this time, I don't feel comfortable with you two going on the road alone."

Ye Ling'er wanted to say something else, but Mo Chen grabbed her hand and said, "Since Lu Yuan said so, let's go together."

Ye Ling'er nodded helplessly.

The next morning, everyone set out for Qingfeng Town. Along the way, Lu Yuan had been secretly observing Ye Ling'er's every move. He found that Ye Ling'er always avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and the interaction between her and Mo Chen was also a little strange.

"Ling'er, are you worried about something?" Mo Chen noticed Ye Ling'er's abnormality and asked with concern.

Ye Ling'er shook her head and said, "No, I'm just a little tired."

Mo Chen looked at Ye Ling'er distressedly and said, "Then lean on me and rest for a while."

Ye Ling'er nodded and leaned gently on Mo Chen's shoulder.

Lu Yuan looked at them and felt something was wrong. He decided to find an opportunity to talk to Ye Ling'er alone.

Finally, when passing through a forest, Lu Yuan left the team on the pretext of going to the bathroom. He quietly went around behind Ye Ling'er and suddenly appeared.

Ye Ling'er was startled and her face turned pale instantly.

"You... why are you here?" Ye Ling'er asked in panic.

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er and said seriously, "Ling'er, I have something to ask you. Who are you? Why do you want to guide us?"

Ye Ling'er lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head with a hint of determination in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
