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 emitted from his body, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
The palace owner felt the aura on Mo Chen's body and her face changed slightly. She was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that Mo Chen was so powerful.
Mo Chen held his sword and rushed towards the palace master. His swordsmanship is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and every move contains endless power.
The palace owner did not dare to underestimate the enemy. She used her own unique skills and started a fierce duel with Mo Chen.
The two of them were going back and forth, and for a while they were inseparable. The people around them were attracted by their battle, and they stopped what they were doing and stared at them intently.
During the battle, Mo Chen discovered that although the palace owner was powerful, her moves had some flaws. So, he deliberately sold a flaw to lure the palace owner into taking the bait.
The Palace Master had indeed fallen into the trap. She thought Mo Chen had revealed a flaw, so she launched an attack without hesitation. However, just when her attack was about to hit Mo Chen, Mo Chen suddenly dodged her attack and stabbed the palace lord in the chest with a backhand sword.
The palace owner was shocked and it was too late for her to escape. Mo Chen's sword pierced her chest hard, and blood spurted out immediately.
The palace owner covered her chest, looked at Mo Chen in disbelief, and said, "You...how could you..."
Mo Chen looked at the palace master and said coldly: "You will be punished if you do any injustice. You brought this on yourself."
The Palace Master knew that her fate was lost. She glanced at Mo Chen and the others unwillingly, and then slowly fell down.
When the guards of Netherworld Palace saw the palace owner being killed, they immediately became confused. Mo Chen and others took the opportunity to escape from Netherworld 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 I would do."
Mo Chen looked at Ye Ling'er with a smile and said, "Ling'er, I said, I will protect you for the rest of my life."
Lu Yuan and Ye Qianmo also walked over. Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Haha, we finally succeeded this time. However, it was really thrilling!"
Ye Qianmo nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately we are all fine."
Lu Yuan frowned, the doubts in his heart getting stronger. He looked at Ye Ling'er and Mo Chen, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"Let's find a place to take a 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, thoughtfully. Ye Qianmo walked over and asked softly: "Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you? You've been worried since you came out of Netherworld Palace."
Lu Yuan raised his head, glanced at Ye Qianmo, hesitated, and said: "Qianmo, I always feel that something is wrong this time. Ye Ling'er seems to have been guiding us."
Ye Qianmo was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "Guide us? What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the street outside the window, and said slowly: "Think about it, everything has gone so smoothly since we met Ye Ling'er."
"She happened to faint where we passed, and then we took her back to the inn."
"Then, she suddenly regained consciousness and told us to leave Netherworld Palace quickly, otherwise the palace owner would not let us go."
"Moreover, during the escape process, she can always discover the flaws in time and lead us to break out. Don't you think all of this is too coincidental?"
Ye Qianmo also fell into deep thought after hearing Lu Yuan's words. She recalled her various experiences in Netherworld Palace, and she did feel a little 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 something to hide, or she is being used."
At this moment, Mo Chen and Ye Ling'er walked in from outside. Seeing the serious expressions of Lu Yuan and Ye Qianmo, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? What are you talking about?"
Lu Yuan glanced at Ye Linger, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes. Ye Ling'er felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her and lowered her head subconsciously.
"It's nothing, we are just discussing the next trip." Lu Yuan said calmly.
Mo Chen came over and said, "Ling'er said she wanted to go home for a visit, and I plan to accompany her."
Lu Yuan's heart moved and he said, "Oh? Where is Ling'er's home?"
Ye Ling'er raised her head, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, and said, "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. We can also give you a ride." Lu Yuan said.
Ye Ling'er waved her hands quickly and said, "No, it's too much trouble for you. We can just go back by ourselves."
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "No trouble, we have nothing to do anyway. Besides, after what happened this time, I don't trust you two to go alone."
Ye Ling'er wanted to say something else, but Mo Chen took her hand and said, "Since Lu Yuan said so, let's go together."
Ye Ling'er nodded helplessly.
Early 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 her interaction with Mo Chen was also a bit strange.
"Ling'er, are you worried about anything?" 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 gently leaned on Mo Chen's shoulder.
Lu Yuan looked at them and felt more and more 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 convenience. He quietly walked around behind Ye Ling'er and suddenly appeared.
Ye Ling'er was startled, and her face instantly turned pale.
"You...why are you here?" Ye Ling'er asked in a panic.
Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er and said with a serious expression: "Ling'er, I have something to ask you. Who are you? Why do you want to guide us?"
Ye Linger lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. (End of chapter)
