I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.

With such a movement and climb, on a precarious rock face high in the air, anyone else would have already swayed and lost their footing.

Li Yue, however, remained as still as an ancient pine tree rooted in the rocks.

It was as if having another person on him had no effect whatsoever.

Once the girl in red was securely in his arms, Li Yue immediately set off.

The girl in red suddenly felt her vision spinning, and her heart tightened as she thought she was about to fall off a cliff.

She instinctively closed her eyes tightly, clung tightly to Li Yue's shoulders and neck, and her whole body was stiff with tension.

But the next second, she did not feel the panic of weightlessness and falling.

I felt my body sink slightly, the wind howled in my ears, turbulent currents surged, and I was descending at an extremely fast speed.

She was slightly surprised and quietly opened her eyes.

The two descended rapidly, the wind rushing past their ears.

With the mountains shrouded in mist and the waters flowing gently on both sides, the magnificent scenery of Ping Mountain is fully visible.

What shocked her even more was that Li Yue carried her on his back as if it were effortless, walking briskly on the almost vertical rock face as if it were flat ground.

When pebbles flew towards him, he seemed to sense them in advance, and with a slight turn of his body, he always managed to dodge them one step ahead.

They quickly traversed the steep slope, crouching low and leaping along the rocks.

We darted swiftly through the constantly falling mud and gravel, and in no time we reached the mountainside of Ping Mountain.

The girl in red stared wide-eyed, completely stunned, her heart churning with turmoil.

However, she quickly regained her senses, hurriedly leaned close to Li Yue's ear, cupped her hand like a megaphone, and loudly reminded him:

"The remaining half of the mountain is tilted, and there's a gap between the bottom of the cliff and the ground! If we continue like this, we'll fall straight down; we need to change direction!"

As she spoke, her heart leaped into her throat, and she hugged herself tighter, but she still forced her eyes open to see the situation below.

Li Yue, however, seemed to have anticipated this, showing no concern about slipping and falling into the ravine. He simply said to her in a deep voice, "Hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, his pace suddenly quickened.

The area beneath Ping Mountain is mostly composed of hard, slippery, and damp blue rock covered with thick green moss.

An ordinary person would slip and fall if they stepped on it, but Li Yue's steps were as steady as Mount Tai, without slipping at all.

In a short while, the two rushed to the edge of the cliff that was shaped like an angle and stood suspended in mid-air.

But then, another unexpected event occurred.

It turns out that after the mountain peak collapsed, the Ping Mountain mountain was already unbalanced.

At this point, the surface soil and rocks, having lost their support, loosened again.

First, several sections of the rock face cracked open, followed by a large amount of rubble mixed with soil collapsing and rolling down the mountainside.

While the momentum wasn't earth-shattering, it was still quite imposing.

One of the tumbling sections swept down directly towards where they had just been hiding.

Fortunately, they had already left the cave entrance.

Otherwise, if this pile of falling rocks were to fall, the rocks and soil would probably seal off the depression, leaving the two of them nowhere to escape.

The girl quickly raised her hand to cover her face, afraid that the pebbles and sand would scratch her eyes, but she felt a heavy, suffocating airflow hit her hard.

Her heart tightened, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was alive or dead.

Li Yue remained calm in the face of danger, firmly gripping her calves with both hands.

Using the turbulent current created by the collapse, he pushed off the cliff with his feet and leaped away.

The two of them, like a large bird with folded wings soaring through the air, drew a sharp arc amidst the falling rocks and flying sand, and fell diagonally downwards.

The vegetation and rocks on the steep cliff flashed past in front of me, and the wind howled.

The girl in red was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, too afraid to look any further.

It wasn't until I suddenly felt a weight on my body, as if my feet had touched solid ground, and my center of gravity returned to normal, that I hurriedly opened my eyes.

Before them lay a tall, dense forest; they had indeed landed safely.

Looking around blankly, the terrain of the jungle below the mountain was uneven.

The giant rock that crashed down from the bottle's mouth lay not far away, smashing down a large number of ancient trees.

The ground was pressed into a deep crater, and the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.

The young woman's face was deathly pale, and her heart was pounding wildly.

The thought of how she had narrowly escaped death several times and managed to get away so easily immediately dispelled most of her panic.

She gently released her grip and climbed off Li Yue's back, her legs still feeling slightly weak.

Li Yue dusted himself off and looked around.

The Yuan Dynasty tomb chamber atop the mountain collapsed and tumbled down, presumably falling into the nearby dense forest.

He memorized the general direction and planned to turn back and explore again.

Then, looking at the disheveled girl in red beside him, whose face was still pale, he pointed in a direction:

"They're not far from here. If you walk that way, you'll see them in about five or six hundred meters."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked towards the forest valley behind the mountain.

"Where are you going?" Seeing him about to step back into the area of ​​falling rocks in Ping Mountain, Hong Guniang quickly called out to stop him.

Li Yue didn't turn around, his tone distant: "It's none of your business."

Their steps did not falter at all.

This sudden change in attitude was like a bucket of cold water poured on Hong Guniang's heart.

A sudden surge of annoyance welled up within her, and without thinking, she quickly chased after him.

She has always had a strong personality and responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

I was filled with gratitude when he rescued me from the cliff, and I was about to thank him.

But how did this person suddenly become so aloof and unapproachable?

"What do you mean by that?" The girl in red caught up with him in a few steps and blocked his way.

Li Yue frowned, not wanting to deal with this kind of emotional issue.

In the eyes of others, Chen Yulou was a man of deep cunning, and Partridge Whistle was burdened with a destiny; both were considered outstanding figures of their time.

But in the eyes of someone who has lived for nearly 150 years, they are nothing more than juniors.

Not to mention someone like Hong Gu Niang, who is straightforward and whose love and hate are written all over her face.

In his eyes, she was no different from an innocent and naive little girl.

Cute is cute, but the word "cute" inherently carries a sense of childlike innocence and is used to describe young children.

This isn't arrogance, it's just that I felt it was unnecessary.

Humans live no more than a hundred years; once this matter is resolved, there may be no future meetings.

There's really no need to create unnecessary entanglements and emotions.

Seeing that Li Yue remained silent and only frowned at her, Hong Guniang felt a surge of anger and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"What can't you say? From the moment we entered the mountains, you've been acting all mysterious, keeping us completely in the dark."

She stretched out her arm to block his path and questioned him sharply:

"Tell me honestly, what exactly is your purpose in entering Bottle Mountain?"

Li Yue looked at her, his eyes turning colder: "This is my own business. Do I need to report it to you?"

The girl in red was immediately rendered speechless.

Yes, Li Yue was neither a brother of the Unloading Ridge faction nor a soldier of Luo Laowai.

They didn't even swear a blood oath with them like the three mountain-moving men did.

This person joined the team halfway through and was almost completely unsupervised.

No one really cares what Li Yue's purpose is, and there's no need for me to tell him.

It seems this person had ulterior motives from the very beginning when he followed them.

The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Hong Guniang opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

She was so angry and frustrated that her cheeks turned red and her chest heaved slightly, but she had no way to refute him.

Li Yue did not intend to embarrass her, and seeing her like this, he did not want to pester her any further.

Just as he was about to step aside, his divine sense suddenly stirred, and he sensed a strange aura rapidly approaching.

He immediately reached out and blocked the still sullen girl behind him, his sharp gaze fixed on the woods.

From beneath a pile of rubble, a dark figure slowly crawled out.
