Mortal Alchemy

In the following days, Mu Xingling relentlessly pursued Chen Ping, but he remained unmoved.

Chen Ping was also getting annoyed.

He simply ignored Mu Xingling's antics, remaining unmoved.

Mu Xingling lay on Chen Ping's chest, her eyes filled with sorrow:

"Why is my beloved Ping so heartless in rejecting me?"

Chen Ping's gaze was icy cold: "What do you think?"

Hadn't she schemed against him enough?

Her using her body as bait was likely a sugar-coated bullet, with more schemes waiting for him.

Mu Xingling was also getting angry: "It's been so long, why does my beloved Ping still dwell on it?"

Chen Ping said coldly:

"Because the pain was deep, so the memory lingers."

Mu Xingling: "My feelings for my beloved Ping are genuine love, with no falsehoods."

Chen Ping sneered: "We've only met a few times, you say that, and I'm supposed to believe it?"

Mu Xingling fell silent.

Those in high positions cannot understand the feelings of those below.

And once those below rise to rule, there exists an irreconcilable conflict between the two.

This was the knot in her heart with Chen Ping.

Mu Xingling felt uncomfortable now, her expression somewhat pitiful: "What must I do for my beloved Ping to accept me?"

Chen Ping said blandly:

"No matter what you do, I will not accept you."

Mu Xingling was genuinely angered, she wrapped herself in the bedsheet and left Chen Ping's private room.

After that, she didn't bother Chen Ping anymore.

This made Chen Ping breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, he continued to explore this underground labyrinth for an exit.

After another half month, Chen Ping and Mu Xingling once again ran into dead ends twice.

"Could it be that this labyrinth has no exit?"

Chen Ping frowned, a hint of annoyance arising.

Mu Xingling comforted: "Now that we've encountered three dead ends, perhaps the last direction holds the exit?"

Chen Ping slowly nodded, and the two silently moved forward.

Another five days passed.

Arriving at the last direction, it was still a dead end, with no exit, sealed tight.

This time, Mu Xingling's calm face turned slightly pale.

"Four directions, and no labyrinth exit?"

This was somewhat despairing.

No wonder there were so many corpses inside the labyrinth.

And the materials of this labyrinth were all Tier 3 materials, which their Foundation Establishment cultivator strength simply couldn't break.

Mu Xingling gave a miserable smile:

"It seems we can't get out, I'm destined to stay here and be a pair of unfortunate lovebirds with my beloved Ping."

Chen Ping's expression was gloomy and unsightly.

Once he got out, he would definitely find a way to kill He Chengzhu and Zhang Daosheng.

But right now, he had to find a way to escape this underground labyrinth.

He had almost completely explored this huge underground labyrinth with his divine sense, but still hadn't found an exit.

This was the most troublesome thing Chen Ping had encountered in his decades of cultivation.

Was there really no exit?

"No… there must be an exit here, otherwise how did Zhang Daosheng survive and escape?"

"Perhaps the exit is hidden…"

The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Chen Ping.

"What I fear is that Zhang Daosheng and He Chengzhu are preparing a killing move during this time."

"Once they're ready, they'll open the exit and let us walk right into their trap."

His battle strength was strong, but he couldn't be called invincible.

This sect's ruins were too ancient and mysterious, the four great families had cultivated here for hundreds of years, it was normal for them to have secret killing moves to deal with him.

After listening to Chen Ping's analysis, Mu Luofei felt much better.

She smiled lightly: "If there really is a killing move, then I will definitely stand in front of my beloved Ping."

Chen Ping didn't believe that a scheming woman like Mu Xingling would do that.

In his decades of cultivation, no one had ever been willing to sacrifice themselves for him.

Chen Ping said blandly: "Recover your state, we've been trapped in this labyrinth for a month."

"It seems that the other party is almost ready."

Although He Chengzhu and Zhang Daosheng preparing a killing move was difficult, there was still a glimmer of hope.

What Chen Ping was really worried about was that the other party didn't want to kill him, but just trap them here to death.

Chen Ping wasn't worried about himself, he had several spatial rings with abundant resources.

Moreover, the demon race war in Donghuang Immortal City was imminent, once Chen Ping didn't show up, Palace Master Gong Yue and Bai Jianjia wouldn't sit idly by, they would definitely come to Fuguang Square City to investigate.

At most, three to five years.

Time slowly passed…

In a flash, another half month passed.

The two re-walked half of the labyrinth, exploring for hidden mechanisms and exits.

This day, Chen Ping was swallowing pills to recover his state.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed in the dark labyrinth.

Then Chen Ping heard a familiar sound.

"Ying Ying!" It was actually the Treasure Seeking Sable.

Chen Ping's expression lit up: "Sable Brother!"

The Treasure Seeking Sable being able to find Chen Ping meant that there must be an exit here.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Being trapped here for a month and a half, there was finally a glimmer of hope.

Mu Xingling was somewhat surprised: "Beloved Ping, is this a Brocade Treasure Seeking Sable?!"

She was knowledgeable, but not too sure.

Chen Ping didn't deny it, but asked the Treasure Seeking Sable: "Sable Brother, is there any danger at the labyrinth entrance and exit?"

"Ying!" The Treasure Seeking Sable shook its head.

Chen Ping pondered: "Could it be that those two aren't ready yet?"

"Never mind."

"Sable Brother, you've done a great job this time, lead us to the labyrinth entrance and exit, and you'll have enough spirit beast meat!"

"Ying Ying!" The Treasure Seeking Sable nodded.

Chen Ping had been gone for more than a month and a half, it had no spirit beast meat to eat, so it left the dojo and came to Dongyue Mountain to find Chen Ping.

Then Chen Ping's figure slowly lifted off the ground, flying in the labyrinth.

With the Treasure Seeking Sable, the two flew in the labyrinth for about two hours, finally arriving at a dead end under the guidance of the Treasure Seeking Sable.

Chen Ping frowned slightly: "Sable Brother, are you mistaken, this is a dead end."

This dead end was the first place Chen Ping had explored a month ago.

"Ying Ying!" The Treasure Seeking Sable jumped down from Chen Ping's shoulder.

Then, with a whoosh, its figure disappeared into the wall of the dead end.

Seeing that Chen Ping hadn't followed, it poked its little head out of the wall: "Ying?"

Seeming to wonder why Chen Ping hadn't followed.

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Formation!"

"This is a formation that isolates divine sense detection!"

"How amazing!"

Chen Ping slowly walked forward.

Then, one of his hands effortlessly pierced through the wall, it was indeed empty.

Chen Ping smiled: "Finally found the exit!"

If it weren't for the Treasure Seeking Sable, he probably wouldn't know how much longer it would take to find the exit.

Passing through the formation, Chen Ping and Mu Xingling finally walked out of this underground labyrinth.

However, just as they came out, before they could take a look at where they were!

At the same time, angry and furious voices rang out: "Chen Ping, prepare to die!!!"

"Beloved Ping, be careful!!!"

"Shu——"

Mu Xingling stood in front of Chen Ping, a golden light pierced through her chest.

Fresh blood splattered on Chen Ping's face, making Chen Ping's face instantly pale, unbelievable, and his eyes dull.
