Chapter 619: Not Yet Freed
"Yiyi, quickly climb out."
Although this mountain isn't towering, it's twice the size of a villa, and its weight is unimaginable. Even Yun Mengyao, no matter how strong, cannot withstand it; she can only barely slow the mountain's descent.
She was forced down on one knee, and the ground beneath her was cracking. Her entire cultivation was pushed to the limit, with colorful streams of light swirling continuously.
"Sister Yiyi, come out quickly, please climb out!"
Qin Wan'er and Liu Yiren cried out loudly.
Spurt!
Yun Mengyao's internal energy surged from the pressure, and she spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.
"Yiyi, hurry out, I can't hold on much longer."
Duan Yiyi was trapped beneath the mountain, the Death Replacement Talisman on her body exploded under pressure. Luckily, she was unharmed, but the ground was full of debris and fractures, with dust clouds obscuring her vision. She desperately clawed away at the rubble in front of her, scrambling towards the sound of Liu Yiren and Qin Wan'er's cries.
Spurt!
Yun Mengyao could barely hold on, as her entire body sank into the ground from the mountain's weight.
"Let's help together."
Xia Yanbing shouted, and the other girls finally reacted, rushing over to frantically channel their cultivation power to slow the mountain's fall, hoping to buy time for Duan Yiyi to escape.
Unfortunately, their cultivation was too weak, and even their combined efforts could not stop the mountain from descending.
"Tsk tsk... I never expected Qin Yi's women to be so weak. Watching you struggle makes one want to pity the fair maidens."
Suddenly, a chilling laugh echoed, and five figures flew out from the mountain top, spreading apart.
The appearances and attire of these five were all different, but they shared the same terrifying aura.
Being able to fly in the air, they were at least in the Nascent Soul Realm.
If Qin Yi were here, he would recognize two of them, one being Sha Chen, and the other Piao Yunfeng.
"Looks like Qin Yi isn't here." Sha Chen looked playfully at the struggling women below and said with an icy smile.
The reason they had not shown themselves was their fear of Qin Yi. After all, Qin Yi's capabilities were fearsome and crafty. The Wolf Country had cut down the three tigers of the Sha Family, and none dared to underestimate him.
"Brother Bige's Qian Zhongfeng is truly extraordinary, no wonder it's your family's treasured heirloom." Piao Yunfeng said with a smile.
The old man, dressed in garish colors with a turban on his head, gave a strange laugh, his murky eyes emitting a chilling glow: "If not for Qin Yi killing my old friend, I would make sure he couldn't rest in peace. This Qian Zhongfeng was meant for Qin Yi, didn't expect him not to be here. Letting him get away this time is truly dissatisfying."
Piao Yunfeng was about to speak when he suddenly looked into the distance.
A figure approached in flight.
The person was Murong Qianxun, who ultimately chose to come warn Qin Yi, urging him to be cautious.
But seeing the scene before her, she instantly went pale.
Upon seeing the attire of the five people in the air, she realized she was a step too late, as her master's worries had come to pass.
Without hesitation, saving people was the priority.
Murong Qianxun feared the five might intervene, so she landed directly and rushed towards Xia Yanbing and the others.
"Hold on."
Murong Qianxun was enveloped in a violent aura, helping to support the descending Qian Zhongfeng.
Only Yun Mengyao and Duan Yiyi recognized Murong Qianxun here, the others didn't know her.
"It's you?"
"No time for words, I'm holding it up, get out quickly." Murong Qianxun shouted, as this Qian Zhongfeng's falling speed couldn't be stopped; she could only slow it slightly.
"Yiyi's inside." Yun Mengyao shouted.
Murong Qianxun was shocked, she had thought Yun Mengyao was trapped but didn't expect Duan Yiyi to be underneath.
"Sister Yiyi, hurry, come out..."
However, Qian Zhongfeng was less than thirty centimeters from the ground, and Yun Mengyao was about to be pressed into the ground.
"Where's Qin Yi?" Murong Qianxun shouted, thinking only Qin Yi could resolve this, as they couldn't withstand Qian Zhongfeng.
Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared.
"It's Yiyi, Wan'er, quickly pull her up." Xia Yanbing shouted.
Duan Yiyi finally managed to crawl out with all her might.
Qin Wan'er grabbed Duan Yiyi and desperately pulled her out.
Everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief; they were truly frightened.
"Grab my hand." Murong Qianxun said.
Yun Mengyao was embedded into the ground and couldn't free herself.
Murong Qianxun held Yun Mengyao with one hand, placing the other on the ground. Power surged out, causing a booming sound, creating a large pit, allowing Yun Mengyao to stretch out without bearing Qian Zhongfeng's weight. With a forceful pull, she extracted her.
"Sister Yiyi, are you okay?" Qin Wan'er asked, nervously scanning her up and down.
Duan Yiyi, dusty and disheveled, hugged Qin Wan'er, wailing.
"I was so scared, I thought I'd never see you again. Thought I would be crushed to death, and it'd look terrible."
Everyone felt both sympathy and speechlessness, exasperated yet amused. In such a situation, this girl was still pondering how she'd look when dead?
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had run faster, you wouldn't have been trapped." Qin Wan'er said guiltily.
"How can it be your fault? Moreover, I'm blessed with a little hubby protecting me, I won't die."
Everyone: "..."
This girl's heart was truly big; she was making jokes right after escaping death.
"Mengyao, are you alright?" Xia Yanbing looked worriedly at the blood on Yun Mengyao's lips.
Yun Mengyao wiped away the blood and shook her head nonchalantly, "I'm fine, just spit a little blood. Later, Wan'er can make some pig liver for me to recover."
Xia Yanbing: "..."
"Bingbing, are you okay?" Lin Hongzhuang approached to support Xia Yanbing. Pregnant women should avoid anxiety, tension, and fear—the negative emotions.
"I'm okay, the baby is also fine." Xia Yanbing gently rubbed her belly.
Yun Mengyao looked at Murong Qianxun, hesitated a bit, then earnestly said, "Thank you."
Murong Qianxun was slightly startled, then softly shook her head.
"Hey, why is this villainous woman here?" Duan Yiyi upon seeing Murong Qianxun, immediately exploded.
Murong Qianxun felt a bit awkward.
Yun Mengyao said, "Yiyi, it was her who saved you just now, otherwise you'd be stuck under the mountain."
"You saved me?" Duan Yiyi looked surprised.
Murong Qianxun replied, "Not just me, it was everyone; I was just helping."
"Alright, anyway, you saved me. I won't hold it against you for hurting me before. And thank you, I won't call you a villainous woman anymore."
Murong Qianxun's lips curled into a faint smile, and she lightly nodded.
"Isn't everyone relaxing too soon? We're not out of danger yet, and these five old ghosts aren't easy to deal with." Yun Mengyao looked up at the sky, her gaze heavy.
Sha Chen looked at the women below, his gaze both cruel and mocking, and said tauntingly, "Who knew these few ants here had such large lives."
