When the rest heard him, their faces revealed astonishment, and they all turned to look at Murong Shan.

In the dark stone passage, Murong Shan's face was as pale as paper, his entire being seemed to have lost all signs of life.

Her entire body was trembling, she did not care about the others, and stared straight at Xiao Jingyue, and asked: "How did you know?"

After Qu Ling heard this, he suddenly reacted and opened his eyes wide in shock.

Xiao Jingyue only looked at her without saying a word.

The stone tunnel became eerily quiet in an instant.

The look in Xiao San's eyes turned from stunned to complicated.

In the midst of the silence, Eighth Prince was the first to be unable to hold back. She walked up to Murong Shan and politely cupped her hands together with her, but when she opened her mouth, her tone carried a trace of threatening intent. "Since Miss Murong knows how to leave this place, please lead the way."

Murong Shan gave Xiao Jingyue a deep glance, and without saying anything more, he turned around and walked on the same path as he used earlier.

Along the way, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was still weird and stiff.

Under this kind of atmosphere, even Qu Ling didn't dare say anything.

If Murong Shan really knew where the exit was, it meant that she was familiar with the cave.

If so, the fact that she fell into the trap just now was worth pondering over.

Furthermore, yesterday, she had uncharacteristically taken the initiative to ask her, this' sickly girl ', to explore this cavern with her. She had even wanted to bring her downstream …

Glimmers danced in Qu Ling's eyes as a dark tint quickly flashed across the depths of her eyes.

Not long after, they returned to the carefree light.

At this point, Rong Xi was no longer visible inside the Worryfree Lantern, who knows if he had lied down in the flower bush, or left already.

Murong Shan turned around and said to the few people behind him: "We must pass through and return."

She knew all the secret tunnels in this cave, but in this carefree area, she really couldn't do anything about it.

After Xiao Jingyue heard this, he lowered his head and looked at Qu Ling.

The other people all looked towards Qu Ling.

Qu Ling rolled his eyes, and shamelessly smiled at them, "What are you all looking at me for, is a bald head nice to look at?"

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Jingyue coldly looked at the few of them, and replied calmly: "No matter what, Madam is beautiful."

Caught off guard, the group turned their heads to look in another direction, each wearing a different expression.

Qu Ling was very satisfied with Xiao Jingyue's answer and nodded while smiling. He took out his flute again and continued to walk forward.

This time, the person in front became Qu Ling.

Xiao Jingyue followed closely behind, with and Xiao Er at the back.

Halfway there, Xiao San's face changed. He suddenly held onto his chest and groaned.

His voice was soft but the Xiao Er, who was close by, could still sense his abnormality.

Xiao Er stopped and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xiao San looked at him.

After a long while, he finally swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth.

He slowly shook his head, lowered his hand, and continued walking.

The soft and pleasant sound of the flute resonated throughout the cave. The firefly lay on the ground, unmoving, while its pair of wings flapped gently.

The originally silent and motionless lights swayed to and fro to and fro with the sound of the flute, as if they were dancing to the music.

The scenery was completely different from what they had seen when they had arrived.

Walking on the small path among the carefree lights, they finally arrived at the opposite stone wall.

Eighth Prince turned around and looked, and sighed: "Ignoring everything else, the scenery in this cave can be said to be unrivaled."

Qu Ling put away the flute, smiled and said: "Your Highness, haven't you heard a single word before? The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is."

Eighth Prince nodded, "That's true."

The group continued to walk forward and quickly arrived in front of the two heavy stone doors.

Murong Shan raised his head, pointed at a protruding rock above him, and said: "Hit this rock in, and the stone door will open."

Xiao San looked at Xiao Jingyue with an inquiring gaze, and after Xiao Jingyue agreed to it, he jumped up, and used sixty percent of his power to hit the stone.

The stone fell into the pit, and everyone heard a rumbling sound as the stone door in front of them was lifted.

Murong Shan said: There's no one inside who can't open the stone door for long, quickly go in!

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone rushed in.

A person stood in the entrance of the flat cave. The stone door was not closed.

Xiao Jingyue held the Luminous Pearl and surveyed his surroundings. He could clearly see that the cave entrance was surrounded by jagged rocks, then he suddenly carried Qu Ling with one hand. In a flash, he arrived beside the tightly shut stone door and leaped up, tightly grabbing onto one of the protruding rocks.

The rest of the people also went over to grab the stones from the cave wall and put their feet up.

There was no longer any gravity on the ground. The stone door immediately closed, and at the same time, the tightly shut stone door slowly rose up.

When the stone door was halfway up, Xiao Jingyue carried Qu Ling and quickly went out, with the rest following closely behind.

Since there was no one inside, the stone door was not closed.

Qu Ling suddenly laid down, holding the Night Pearl and looked inside the cave entrance, his eyes revealed an understanding look.

The Eighth Prince asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"

Qu Ling stood up, patted off the dust on his clothes, and shook his head with a smile: "Nothing."

Eighth Prince wanted to leave so he did not ask anymore.

Under Murong Shan's lead, the group passed through the rock spike and returned to the skeleton formation.

The skeleton had been completely broken and was stacked in a corner.

Murong Shan struck the stone floor with his sword, and just waited for her to make another move, Xiao San took the initiative and jumped down.

Seeing that, a chill rose up from the bottom of Murong Shan's heart.

The hand holding the sword could not help but tighten. In the end, he did not say anything, and just moved on.

Qu Ling could not help but mutter under his breath, "It really was said out loud."

The hole was just big enough to accommodate two people, so Xiao Jingyue wrapped his arm around Qu Ling's waist and jumped in with her.

Only after everyone had come down did Murong Shan say: "Although there is an exit here, there are traps everywhere so you shouldn't mess around."

Saying that, he immediately turned around and led the way.

With Murong Shan around, the group easily passed through the traps and finally succeeded in leaving the cave.

However, outside of the cave, it was not like mountains and rivers.

It looked more like a storage room, surrounded by boxes of all sizes.

Xiao Er looked around and asked, "Does Miss Murong know where we are?"

Half of Murong Shan's face was hidden in the darkness, so one couldn't see the expression on her face.

After a long while, he finally said in a faint voice, "Embankment."

Xiao San walked over and opened one of the boxes. A ray of blinding light shot out from the box.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao San took a deep breath and opened the other boxes in the vicinity.

Silence filled the air.

Inside these boxes were silver ingots.

Qu Ling squatted down and picked up a silver ingot to examine it. When his eyes landed on a line of words, he could not help but raise his eyebrows, "It's actually official silver."

All of the officials of the Qi Nation had the words' official of the Qi Nation silver 'printed on the bottom of their silver plates. A secret stash of official silver was a capital offense punishable by nine familial extermination.

Xiao Jingyue said calmly: "I'll leave first."

Murong Shan glanced at him, and continued walking.

Before long, he saw a blinding light in front of him.

As everyone passed through the light, the scenery in front of their eyes suddenly became clear.

At this moment, a familiar voice shouted, "Jing Yue, quickly leave!"

Xiao Jingyue looked over, to see that the place they were at, was actually near the riverbank that had collapsed upstream of the Huai River.

And this place was currently heavily guarded.

Not too far away, under a large tree, Chen Linye and Xiao Yi were tied to a tree trunk with ropes.

A man dressed in official uniform leisurely walked out from behind the soldiers, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This subordinate has waited a long time for His Highness and General Xiao, Your Highness and General has finally returned safely."
