Hearing Gan Yue say that, he looked at Zhang Yuchen and me with admiration written all over his face.
The two of us smiled and returned the salute with cupped fists.
"I'm flattered!"
Zhang Yuchen spoke.
I chimed in as well.
"Right! You're too kind. Let's get out of here quickly, in case something else happens."
Gan Yue nodded.
Then, we quickly headed forward.
Right ahead of us were Daoist Feiyun and his other disciple, Pang Ke.
Supported by Pang Ke, Senior Feiyun managed to stand at this point.
His face was pale, and he was clearly seriously injured. "Have you two young friends brought my senior brother's ghost out?"
"Don't worry, Senior. He's in here."
I patted the Heaven-and-Earth Bag.
"Thank you for this."
He immediately cupped his fists and was about to bow.
I hurriedly stopped him and shook my head. "What are you saying, Senior? If you hadn't led the two Daoist brothers in to save me earlier, it would have been difficult for me to get out of Yin Mist Forest too.
"Senior, we shouldn't stay here long. Let's leave first.
"Once we reach somewhere safe, I'll release the three seniors safely."
"Good, good.
"Pang Ke, Gan Yue, let's go..."
"Yes, Master!"
"..."
With that, they supported Daoist Feiyun and began making their way out of the forest.
We also kept a wary eye on our surroundings, especially behind us.
We hurried onward and ran a long way, covering at least three kilometers of mountain trails before finally stopping.
Pang Ke looked around and said, "Master, we're already far outside Yin Mist Forest's range. It should be safe here."
Daoist Feiyun looked around. "You two young friends, let's rest here for a while!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Yuchen and I nodded in agreement and stopped.
