Zhu'er glanced at Lin Ye and thought to herself: This guy may be arrogant, but he's not too bad.

Zhu'er regained her strength, and the three of them continued their journey. After traveling for three hours, it was already daytime.

Lin Ye noticed that Zhu'er wasn't very familiar with the shortcuts either. Whenever they needed to make a choice, she would hit a wall and struggle with the decision. After muttering to herself for a while and figuring out the direction, she would lead them forward again.

Zhang Wuji was very worried about this, but Lin Ye didn't think it was a big deal.

Although Zhu'er was unfamiliar with this place, Granny Jin Hua was different.

Originally, she was sent to the Central Plains by the Purple-Robed Dragon King and the Persian General Sect. She was tasked with a secret mission by the General Sect and often sneaked into the secret passage that only the leader of the Ming Cult was authorized to pass through when she was still in the Ming Cult.

Even after leaving the Ming Cult, he never forgot that secret mission.

I fear I'll memorize all the paths I take to ascend the mountain too early.

That's not the case. The Ming Cult discovered it many years ago.

Granny Jin Hua must have thought of this when she sent Zhu'er along.

Finally, after reaching a high peak, Spider pointed ahead and exclaimed, "We've arrived!"

Lin Ye looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, a huge palace appeared in front of him. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only the southeast side exposed. Each mountain was towering into the clouds, and ordinary people would definitely find it difficult to climb. It was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lin Ye sighed inwardly, amazed that they had managed to find such a place.

Zhang Wuji said, "Brother, is that the Ming Cult's headquarters at Bright Peak?"

"There is nothing more similar here."

Spider's face was full of pride. At first, she thought she was going to lead the wrong way, but she didn't expect that she would actually find it by following her mother-in-law's instructions.

Taking this shortcut will save at least several hours compared to the main road.

Spider laughed:

"So, tell me, how are you going to thank me? Hey, Mr. Lin, since I brought you here, why don't you tell me your real identity and what your relationship is with your mother-in-law?"

Lin Ye said, "Don't worry, I still have something I need her help with later. We'll meet again someday. Maybe your mother-in-law will need my help too."

Zhu'er was surprised. She couldn't figure out what he and her mother-in-law could do to help each other. She racked her brains but couldn't come up with anything.

The three quickly crept closer and saw that the Ming Cult was heavily guarded, with many members standing guard inside and outside. It seemed that the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects was a serious situation for the Ming Cult.

Cheng Kun was probably planting explosives in the secret passage at that moment, planning to wipe out the Ming Cult while they were engaged in battle.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye glanced at Bright Peak, wondering where the secret passage led.

Although he knew the secret passage was on Yang Buhui's bed in her boudoir, he obviously couldn't enter through the main door now.

Spider cursed, "What kind of bullshit Ming Cult is this? It would be best if it were wiped out today, and the Eagle Cult would be destroyed along with it."

Lin Ye knew that she hated her father to the extreme, which is why she also cursed the related Tianying Sect and Ming Sect.

Curious, Zhang Wuji asked, "Miss Zhu'er, what grudge do you have against the Eagle Sect?"

Zhang Wuji was unaware of the relationship between Zhu'er and Yin Yewang. After all, the Eagle Sect was founded by his maternal grandfather, and he couldn't help but feel guilty if he had done anything to wrong her.

Spider glanced at him sideways and said, "None of your business."

Having offended someone, Zhang Wuji simply stopped talking.

Spider's gaze shifted to Lin Ye, who was still observing the palace ahead, and she asked, "What, do you still want to go in?"

Lin Ye asked, "Did your mother-in-law tell you that the Ming Cult has any secret passages?"

"What secret passage? How would I know?"

Lin Ye thought to himself, "Just as I thought. After all, that secret passage is a secret of the Ming Cult, and Granny Jin Hua wouldn't let Zhu'er know about it."

Zhang Wuji asked, "Brother, how did you know the Ming Cult had a secret passage?"

"Brother, use your brain. Although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the enemy surrounds it without attacking, trapping them here, no matter how strong this place is, it won't be of any use. How could they not understand this principle?"

"I don't believe a place like this wouldn't have a secret passage for escape."

Zhang Wuji thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

Lin Ye said, "Brother, you go to the right, I'll go to the left. Let's go around to the back of the mountain and find that secret passage."

Zhang Wuji was quite surprised, never expecting that his elder brother actually wanted to find the secret passage.

Having no other choice, Lin Ye thought long and hard and decided to use this clumsy method.

Lin Ye didn't wait for his reply and moved to his left.

Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and said to Zhu'er, "Miss Zhu'er, you should go back first. It's really dangerous here. If you get caught again, it may be difficult to save you."

Spider shouted, "You think you're so great because you're skilled in martial arts? You look down on me for coming. I'm not leaving. Let's see when they catch you."

Zhang Wuji sighed helplessly, "Then stick close to me and don't get lost."

Spider said, "You want me to follow you? I'm not going to."

He looked towards the forest, turned back, snorted, and chased after them.

Zhang Wuji silently shook his head, but considering his brother's high level of martial arts, Zhu'er should be safer with him. He just hoped that she would be careful and not upset his brother.

Lin Ye and Zhu'er had already gone far away, and Zhang Wuji felt that he should not delay any longer, so he moved to his right.

Lin Ye was walking when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Zhu'er who had followed him.

She frowned slightly. Why was she following me instead of her brother Ah Niu?

I only glanced at it and ignored it. In the original story, Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao came out at what seemed to be the mountainside.

Lin Ye walked far from the area patrolled by the Ming Cult members, looking up as he went.

Zhu'er was angry that Lin Ye had seen her but ignored her. She thought to herself that if it weren't for her mother-in-law's orders, she would rather follow Zeng Aniu than this boy.

No, they won't come up the mountain at all.

Despite thinking this way, he still silently followed behind Lin Ye.

After walking for a while, Zhu'er said, "Hey, why don't you ask me why I'm with you and not him?"

Why?

Lin Ye replied casually.

"I'll take this opportunity to poison you to death with my Thousand Spider Venomous Hands. That way, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to harm my mother-in-law, and I won't have to follow you around anymore..."

Zhu'er originally wanted to attack Lin Ye's appearance, but seeing that Lin Ye was tall and handsome, she couldn't find a point to attack.

All I can add is "following you, you dog of a man."

Lin Ye ignored her. If she could really poison him, then so be it. If he could be poisoned to death by this little girl, then he could only admit that he was incompetent.

Lin Ye didn't reply.

The two walked around to almost the back of the mountain. At this time, the peaks of the Kunlun Mountains were covered with snow, while the lower parts of the mountains were lush and green, which was quite peculiar.

Lin Ye looked up and when he reached the foot of a mountain, he suddenly stopped. He felt an unusual breeze, and upon closer inspection, he felt a cold current flowing from outside towards the mountain peak.

"Hey, why are you stopping?"

"Spider asked."

Lin Ye ignored her, approached the mountain peak, and parted a thicket of bushes as tall as a person. A tunnel suddenly appeared behind the weeds.

Spider cried out, "There's a tunnel!"

It turns out that the barely perceptible wind flow was a gentle breeze that flowed into the tunnel through the gaps in the weeds. If you weren't close enough, you would hardly notice it at first glance.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, about to go inside, when he suddenly heard a noise in the distance. Lin Ye frowned and whispered, "Someone's coming."

They grabbed the spider and flew to a low slope to lie down.

This time, Lin Ye didn't use any acupressure points on Zhu'er, but if the situation turned out badly, he could immediately cover her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.
