I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 176 Disaster

"Illusion contains falsehood, and falsehood contains reality. One wrong step leads to another. Do not believe what you see with your own eyes, and never stray more than ten feet from me. If you find someone you can see but cannot touch, stand still and wait for me to come to you."

When the Undead were besieged that day, Shi Mo, who was sent away from the encirclement by his master with a single palm strike instead of entering the cave, really did not expect the cave to be so complicated.

“Sister Fei, aren’t you being too cautious? We didn’t feel lost after entering the cave. If you want money, just name your price. Since you’ve come to help my master, we of Tianshan will not treat you unfairly.”

"How effective is the natural formation in this cave? Sister Shimo, why don't you ask Peak Master Bian directly?" Fei Xi wasn't angry at the little maid's question; instead, she replied with a smile.

Then she ignored the little maid, whose face turned ashen after she realized what had happened.

Fei Xi turned and walked towards the plants in the corner.

The elderly man, who had already been woken up, got up and followed Fei Xi to the corner to squat down when he saw her actions.

"Do you recognize it?"

"Ah."

"You wouldn't have thought the same thing as me, would you?"

“Grandpa, my master’s wish has always been for peace in the world and for the people to live and work in peace. If the deaths are not dealt with, war will surely break out again.”

As Fei Xi spoke, she put on gloves, took the small knife hanging from her belt, and carefully cut down the mushrooms in the corner and put them away. After putting the mushrooms away, she then pulled the plant up by the roots with her bare hands.

The roots and stems, covered in black soil, gleamed faintly with a colorful sheen under the dim pearlescent light.

Everyone was puzzled by the cryptic conversation between the two.

“Sister Fei, this mushroom looks poisonous, and the other plants don’t look particularly valuable. If you need any medicinal herbs, just tell me, and I, Tianshan, will find them for you. Our master is still waiting for us outside, so let’s not waste any more time and hurry up and go out.”

"Senior sister has her reasons for digging these things. If you are not willing to wait, you may leave on your own."

"You! Hmph, I'm talking to Sister Fei, who gave you the right to interrupt!"

"Your master hasn't said anything, yet you dare to overstep your bounds and act even more arrogantly than your master. That's strange. Could it be that the Tianshan Mountains are run by maids?"

Liu Nanli's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. His words immediately angered Shi Mo.

Enraged, Shi Mo picked up the sword from the ground and stabbed at Liu Nanli.

"Look at the sword!"

The two figures attacked simultaneously, their fingertips striking pressure points with fluid grace, each stopping their own men.

"Stop fooling around, the master is outside."

"Junior Brother Liu, please don't be angry."

After Fei Xi finished tidying up all the plants in the corner, she looked back and saw the two people who had almost gotten into a fight standing there like stone pillars, motionless.

"what happened?"

"It's alright, Xiaoxi, are you ready?"

"Ah."

Tang Huaiyi tapped his finger lightly, stepped forward to help Liu Nanli up, and whispered in his ear,

"Junior Brother Liu, I'll go ahead first. I'll leave Xiao Xi in your care."

On the other side, the taciturn Lian Duhan narrowed his eyes slightly and released Shi Mo's acupoints.

Once the maid regained her freedom, she walked quickly outside without saying a word.

After a night's rest and the medicine Fei Xi gave her, her foot had basically recovered.

After calming down last night, she realized that Miss Fei was not a bad person. She had helped Brother Han control his illness multiple times and had even saved her life. Those seemingly rude words had actually saved Brother Han from a terrible ordeal.

More importantly, they might really need the other party's help to leave the cave.

With this in mind, the maid decided to ask again later what the other party wanted. They, the Tianshan people, would never owe anyone anything, let alone money!

Lian Duhan and Tang Huaiyi followed Shi Mo out, and the others packed their belongings and followed them out as well.

Fei Xi and Liu Nanli were the last to come out. When they came out, one of them looked normal, while the other's ears were slightly red.

But no one had the energy to see what the last person who came out looked like.

Because no matter who came out, after seeing the situation outside, they all showed the same terrifying expression of scalp tingling.

The temple was a large place, densely packed with immortals.

Hearing the noise, all the dull, lifeless faces turned to look at them.

Empty eyes, numb instincts, the undead collapsing into a heap, instantly like corpses trapped in a blender, you in me, me in you.

Twisted limbs were compressed and twisted together, and blood-soaked skulls, their eyeballs about to fall out, rolled into a heap.

The number of undead piled up like a mountain was increasing, and countless hands and feet were waving around in the mountain of corpses, getting closer and closer to Fei Xi and the others in a deformed and grotesque manner.

"Monster!!!"

Accompanying Shi Mo's terrified screams was a move that froze the land for thousands of miles.

The swordsman standing at the very front of everyone continued to unleash his ultimate move tirelessly.

Time seemed to freeze under this move; all the immortals were instantly frozen in place.

However, in just two snaps of the fingers, the immortal quickly recovered and slowly moved towards Fei Xi and her group again.

"What do we do? All the roads are blocked, we have no way out, we're going to die here!"

Most people didn't say anything, but they were just as upset as Shi Mo.

Yesterday, they were able to repel the undead and continue their journey using their palm and sword energy.

Today, facing these undead monsters that are more terrifying than ghosts and are as large as mountains, all roads are blocked by an endless stream of undead.

There was no other way but to retreat to a dead end.

"The lower trigram is broken, the middle trigram is empty; the wind blows away the haze, and the raging fire blazes. Everyone, follow my steps. Peak Master Bian, when I throw the object in my hand into the cave, you unleash Snow Abyss Dragon Roar towards the Xun direction; Brother Yi, you unleash Falling Petals Across the Water towards the Kan direction; Young Hero Lian, you unleash Falling Petals Across the Water towards the Li direction..."

Fei Xi spoke very quickly, but her hands moved even faster.

Almost before she finished speaking, she had already opened a cloth bag containing plants, taken out a knife, and cut her palm.

In an instant, blood gushed out, staining the plants in the cloth bag in her hand red. At the same time, a strange fragrance wafted out from the cloth bag.

The undead nearby smelled the scent and became increasingly restless.

With a forceful movement, Fei Xi threw the cloth bag into the cave behind her.

The undead, who were crammed together like sardines in a can, strangely gathered together and surged towards the cave even more densely.

With a light touch of her toes, Fei Xi flashed forward, pulling the old man along as they rushed towards the southeast direction.

As she ran, she directed the people behind her to make their moves. As the moves were unleashed, the cave shook slightly, seemingly hitting something.

What was originally a certain death situation turned out differently as everyone followed Fei Xi and unknowingly left the cave that had been crowded with undead.

Continuing onward, Fei Xi would occasionally toss out a cloth bag. After walking for a while, the group realized that they rarely saw any undead on the road. Occasionally, they would encounter one or two, but they would ignore them and run frantically back the way they came.

Without the interference of the immortals, Fei Xi led everyone out of the cave that had trapped Bian Yuan for half a month in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Upon emerging from the cave, the long-absent bright light caused Fei Xi's eyes extreme discomfort, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

The cries of terns, sometimes near, sometimes far, drifted into my ears, accompanied by the sound of waves.

Fei Xi didn't bother wiping away her tears. She picked up the last cloth bag and turned to walk back towards the cave.

Halfway there, the cloth bag in her hand was suddenly snatched away.

"Go away, go away, my bones are aching all over, I need to stretch my muscles."

"Grandpa, this is too dangerous, let me do it."

"Why are you so annoying, girl? I've told you, don't be so self-righteous and take everything for yourself. Get out of my way and don't get in my way!"

"Xiao Xi, the senior is not a reckless person, you don't need to worry too much."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"go!"

Fei Xi wiped away her tears, interrupted Shi Mo's question, and without further hesitation turned around and used her lightness skill to quickly run a mile away.

Although no one understood Fei Xi and the old man's intentions, they all followed Fei Xi's footsteps without hesitation.

In less than ten seconds, a loud "boom" was heard, the earth shook violently, and the distant sea waves were whipped up by the huge air currents.

Even more horrifying, the hilltop where the cave that had trapped them was located was blasted into a flat plain. Orange-red flames, accompanied by thick black-purple smoke, swirled and surged, and the towering flames even illuminated the sky as if it were molten gold.
