Chapter 791

"Not good! Xiao Meier's been killed!" Hao Shuai had only just stowed the Immortal Binding Rope away when a startled cry rang through the cave.

"This one's tough! Fall back!" Seeing that in just a few moments, only Wild Dog Daoist, Jiang Lao San, and himself remained, the tall, lanky man hurriedly called for the other two to run.

As if they shared the same thought, Wild Dog Daoist and Jiang Lao San recalled their magical artifacts and leaped onto them. With two sharp whooshes, the three transformed into streaks of light and fled deeper into the cave.

"Let's—" Hao Shuai hadn't even finished saying "chase" when he saw Lu Xueqi already flying off on her sword in pursuit. He immediately cursed in frustration, "You undisciplined little brat!"

He grumbled, but still worried about her venturing deeper alone. He promptly led Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan after her.

The people ahead had already vanished from sight, but Hao Shuai knew they must be heading toward the Abyss of the Dead, so he wasn't worried about losing track of Lu Xueqi.

The chase through the depths of the cave lasted nearly half an hour, taking them into the vast space where the Abyss of the Dead lay. There, they spotted Lu Xueqi standing a dozen or so meters from a huge boulder.

"Senior Sister Lu, could you try showing a little discipline next time?" Hao Shuai landed beside her first and grumbled helplessly.

"Mm." Lu Xueqi at least gave him the courtesy of a response.

But did that "mm" mean she understood, or that she didn't care?

"Jiang Lao San, Liu Hao, weren't you three supposed to ambush a few juniors? Why did you come running back in such a sorry state—and lead them here to the Abyss of the Dead?"
