Chapter 12 Respond Calmly
On Luoxia Peak, the night was as dark as ink. Gao Xingchen carried the unconscious Nan Li on his back, while Xuanfeng supported himself who was exhausted, and the three of them stumbled down the mountain. Behind them, Lin Feng's resentful voice and the footsteps of the man in black were intertwined, like a death spell, constantly impacting their nerves.
"Xingchen, let me go. You take Senior Sister Nanli and go first. I will stay here to hold them back." Xuanfeng said breathlessly. He knew that he would only be a burden to Gao Xingchen.
"What nonsense! Let's go together!" Gao Xingchen gritted his teeth and kept walking. "We can definitely escape!"
However, the number of men in black was too large, and their encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. Just when Gao Xingchen and others were about to despair, two figures suddenly fell from the sky and blocked their way.
"Senior Brother Sun! Senior Sister Li!" When Gao Xingchen and Xuanfeng saw the people coming, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xingchen, how are you?" Senior Brother Sun asked with concern. He glanced at Nanli on Gao Xingchen's back and the pale Xuanfeng, and immediately understood something. "Did that guy Lin Feng do it?"
"Senior Brother, now is not the time to talk about this, let's rush out first!" Gao Xingchen said anxiously.
"Okay!" Senior Brother Sun nodded, drew his sword, and together with Senior Sister Li, forced the man in black back a few steps.
"You guys go quickly, leave this to us!" Senior Sister Li said to Gao Xingchen and others.
Gao Xingchen knew that now was not the time to hesitate. He looked deeply at Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Li, carried Nanli on his back, and together with Xuanfeng, took the opportunity to break out.
After escaping from Luoxia Peak, Gao Xingchen and others ran all the way until dawn, when they stopped to rest in a hidden cave.
"How is Senior Sister Nanli?" Xuanfeng asked worriedly as he looked at the unconscious Nanli.
"She is seriously injured and needs treatment as soon as possible." Gao Xingchen checked Nan Li's injuries and frowned.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..." Xuanfeng said self-reproachfully.
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Gao Xingchen interrupted Xuanfeng, "We must find a safe place as soon as possible so that we can heal Senior Sister Nanli with peace of mind."
"But where should we go now?" Xuan Feng asked blankly.
Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly the ancient book in the forbidden area emerged in his mind. He remembered that the book recorded a special formation that could hide one's aura and avoid being hunted down.
"Got it!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Let's go to the Misty Forest!"
The Misty Forest, located outside the Qingyun Sect, is shrouded in thick fog all year round. It is filled with miasma and extremely dangerous. Even the elders of the sect dare not set foot there easily. But Gao Xingchen knows that it is their only hope.
On the way to the Misty Forest, Gao Xingchen told Xuanfeng about his plan.
"Xingchen, your plan is bold, but it may not be impossible." After listening to Gao Xingchen's plan, Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "But the Misty Forest is extremely dangerous. How can we find that place after we go in?"
"Don't worry, I have a way." Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with confidence. He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties before them!
The three of them walked forward and finally came to the edge of the misty forest. Looking at the white mist in front of him, Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that a more difficult challenge was about to begin...
The thick mist was like layers of veil, engulfing the figures of Gao Xingchen and others. Misty Forest, they are coming.
"Be careful, the miasma here is poisonous." Gao Xingchen reminded in a low voice, took out a few leaves from his arms and gave them to Xuanfeng and Nanli, "Put them in your mouth, it can resist the miasma."
Nan Li took the leaf, a trace of gratitude appeared on her pale face, and she said softly, "Thank you."
The three of them stepped into the misty forest carefully. The thick fog obscured their vision and they could only vaguely see a few steps around them. Under their feet were slippery fallen leaves and muddy ground. From time to time, there were a few strange roars of animals, which added a bit of eeriness and horror.
"Xingchen, do we really have to hide here? This damn place is too scary." Xuanfeng shrank his neck and looked around nervously.
Gao Xingchen did not answer, but just carefully observed the surrounding environment, constantly recalling the records about the misty forest in ancient books.
"Found it!" Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a mountain wall covered with vines in front of him, "It's here!"
After pushing aside the dense vines, a cave about one meter high suddenly appeared on the mountain wall. It was hidden and deep. Gao Xingchen was the first to enter the cave and found that there was a different world inside, which turned out to be a dry and spacious cave.
"This place is nice! It's much better than where we live in Luoxia Peak!" Xuanfeng couldn't help but exclaim.
After settling Nan Li, Gao Xingchen revealed his plan: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative!"
"Xingchen, what do you want to do?" Xuanfeng asked.
"Isn't Lin Feng going to deal with us? We will be in the dark, collecting evidence of his crimes, and then handing the evidence over to the leader so that he will receive the punishment he deserves!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with determination.
"Good idea! But how do we collect evidence?"
"That depends on you, Xuanfeng." Gao Xingchen patted Xuanfeng on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "You are the most well-informed."
Xuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and patted his chest to assure: "No problem! Leave it to me! I'll go get the news right away!"
After saying that, Xuanfeng used his "innate" talent for comedy, disguised himself, and sneaked back to Qingyun Sect.
A few days later, Xuanfeng returned to the cave with important information.
"Xingchen, I heard a piece of news that Lin Feng is planning to send people to Black Wind Ridge to pick a spiritual herb called 'Blood Soul Grass'. This spiritual herb is extremely precious and is said to be able to be used to refine pills to improve cultivation." Xuanfeng said in a low voice.
"Blood Soul Grass?" Gao Xingchen frowned slightly, and the records about this spiritual grass quickly flashed through his mind. "The terrain of Black Wind Ridge is steep, and monsters appear all year round. If Lin Feng sends people to pick Blood Soul Grass, there will definitely be heavy losses."
"That's right!" Xuan Feng slapped his thigh excitedly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can..."
Gao Xingchen and Xuan Feng looked at each other, and they understood each other. A bold plan gradually took shape in their minds.
A few days later, the team of disciples sent by Lin Feng set out in a mighty manner. They had no idea that what was waiting for them would be a carefully planned ambush.
Deep in the Black Wind Ridge, Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Ling'er hid in a dense bush. They held their breath and watched closely a path not far ahead.
"Here it comes!" Gao Xingchen said in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes.
The team of disciples came slowly, led by a burly young man, who was one of Lin Feng's most proud subordinates - Zhao Hu.
"Get started!" Gao Xingchen gave an order and rushed out first.
Nanli and Ling'er followed closely behind. The three of them appeared in the center of the team like ghosts. The weapons in their hands turned into cold rays, reaping the lives of the enemies.
Zhao Hu and others were caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Who is it? Get out of here!"
However, all they got in response was the cold blade and the fear of death.
Gao Xingchen and others acted decisively and every move was deadly. In a short while, more than half of Lin Feng's disciples were killed or injured.
Zhao Hu saw that the situation was not good and knew that he had encountered a tough opponent, so he quickly ordered a retreat.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Gao Xingchen snorted coldly, and his figure flashed, standing in front of Zhao Hu.
"You...you are Gao Xingchen?!" When Zhao Hu saw who it was, he was immediately scared out of his wits.
"Yes, it's me!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Today, I will make you pay for what you have done!"
After saying that, Gao Xingchen stopped talking nonsense. The sword in his hand turned into a flash of lightning and took Zhao Hu's life directly.
Zhao Hu tried his best to resist, but he was no match for Gao Xingchen. After several rounds, Gao Xingchen stabbed his throat with a sword.
After dealing with Zhao Hu, Gao Xingchen and others did not linger in the battle, but quickly evacuated the battlefield.
In this battle, Gao Xingchen and others inflicted heavy damage on Lin Feng's forces at a very small cost, and also demonstrated their strength to the entire Qingyun Sect.
When the news reached Qingyun Sect, it immediately caused an uproar.
Within the sect, some disciples who had originally remained neutral began to express sympathy for Gao Xingchen's experience. They realized that Lin Feng's behavior had seriously violated the sect's rules and must be punished accordingly.
Gao Xingchen was not carried away by victory. He knew that this was just the beginning and Lin Feng would never give up. A bigger storm was brewing.
He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination, and murmured to himself: "Lin Feng, I will make you pay the price!"
At the same time, Lin Feng also got the news. He was furious and vowed to tear Gao Xingchen into pieces.
A decisive battle is about to begin...
