Wang Xiaoqiang had already noticed the "crack...crack" sound. Now, hearing that the sound was coming from the huge pit, and considering how eerily terrifying it was, it made even him, a cultivator on the "Path of Courage," secretly anxious,

It could be imagined that there was something even more dangerous in the pit. Moreover, that pit was the entrance to the Netherworld, the "Gate of Hell," so he had to be particularly cautious.

The eight students, including Fang Qiu, stopped their movements reluctantly upon Wang Xiaoqiang's reminder,

If previously Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't gained enough authority to convince them, now after the battle with the Ghost Spirit, they were sincerely impressed by him, and were subtly following his lead.

"Little Qiang, are we just letting them go like this?!" Yuee Buhui called out unwillingly.

They all thought Wang Xiaoqiang had enough power to kill the Ghost King and even the Ghost Spirit. Only Wang Xiaoqiang knew deep down that after exhausting the alien blood energy within him, his combat power was greatly weakened. Now, not to mention battling the Ghost Spirit, even confronting the Ghost King would be strenuous, like a person losing strength after the effects of a stimulant wore off, feeling extremely weak and fatigued.

This was also why Wang Xiaoqiang didn't pursue them. He didn't want anyone to know his secret, so he casually said, "Saving Princess Hua Shao is the priority!"

Fang Qiu noticed some hints and echoed, "Yes, the urgent matter is to rescue Princess Hua Shao! Everyone, spread out the Divine Sense and search separately."

The concentration of Corpse Qi inside the Ghost King Sect was denser than outside. Now with the Gate of Hell open, Corpse Qi from the Netherworld surged into the Ghost King Sect through it, making it even denser inside,

When the students released their Divine Sense, they found it was interfered with by the Corpse Qi, making the images captured by the Divine Sense blurred and unclear. They had no way to search.

"Huh? What happened to my Divine Sense? I can't see anything," one male student said in frustration.

"This is bad, the Corpse Qi in the Ghost King Sect is dense and is interfering with the Divine Sense," Fang Qiu said helplessly, "Now we can only conduct a carpet search..."

In such a large Ghost King Sect, it was unclear how much time a carpet search would take.

Just as everyone felt a wave of frustration, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "No need, I have a solution."

Saying that Wang Xiaoqiang used his Willpower to summon Little Mei, who fell out of the Sumeru Ring. Instinctively looking around, she found herself in the center of the Ghost King Sect, where the sacred sacrificial altar that stood for thousands of years had collapsed. Underneath the altar was a huge pit…

This situation filled her with surprise and confusion.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang release a beautiful female Ghost Cultivator from his Storage Ring, the students were surprised and bewildered.

"Little Mei, quickly take us to the place where your father imprisons important captives, we need to hurry!" Wang Xiaoqiang directly ordered.

Little Mei didn't know that her father had abducted and imprisoned the Yellow Dragon Empire's Princess Hua Shao, and was momentarily bewildered, with a confused expression.

She shook her head, indicating she didn't understand Wang Xiaoqiang's intention.

"You don't need to understand, just lead the way. If you hesitate, I'll kill you." Wang Xiaoqiang gripped Little Mei's jade-like neck with a flash of ferocity on his face.

"Yes, yes…" Little Mei's delicate body trembled, mumbled.

Soon, under Little Mei's guidance, Wang Xiaoqiang and the nine students arrived at the prison where Princess Hua Shao was held.

With the Valley Protection Formation broken and the sacred altar collapsed, and the Ghost King having infiltrated the Netherworld, this was a disastrous news for all the disciples of the Ghost King Sect. Upon receiving the news, the Ghost Cultivators guarding the prison had long since fled without a trace,

leaving only Princess Hua Shao in the prison,

Princess Hua Shao was sitting on a chair, which was connected to the whole prison, extremely solid, with Ghost Talismans continuously flickering on the chair, and a circular ripple encircling her, fixing her to that chair.

It was a Restriction.

"Little Qiang!" Upon seeing the nine students appear in the prison, Princess Hua Shao was extremely excited, first calling out Wang Xiaoqiang's name, showing that the person she most wished to see at this moment was indeed Wang Xiaoqiang.

This made Wang Xiaoqiang's heart tremble, and made the other students' expressions ambiguous.

Especially Luoo Youshan and Su Li, whose hearts were filled with jealousy.

"Are you okay?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked, stepping forward, preparing to use the War God Hammer to break the Restriction with a swing, when Little Mei screamed a warning, "Don't!"

Wang Xiaoqiang stopped abruptly at the words, turning to stare at Little Mei in surprise.

"This Restriction cannot be broken with brute force, or the person trapped within will be destroyed along with the Restriction."

Little Mei advanced, her slender jade fingers extended, her fingers flickering with Ghost Talismans, with a wave of her hand, those Ghost Talismans struck the Restriction, causing it to disperse with a boom upon contact.

Little Mei's words made everyone break out in a cold sweat; Princess Hua Shao had almost lost her life here.

And Little Mei's actions surprised and puzzled everyone, a female ghost cultivator helping at a critical moment!

Princess Hua Shao regained her freedom, her eyes shifted from Wang Xiaoqiang to Little Mei, scrutinizing her, and asked, "You must be the Ghost King's daughter, Little Mei!?"

Little Mei didn't shy away from her identity, saying, "That's right. I am Little Mei!"

"Have you been subjected to his..." Princess Hua Shao pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, questioning Little Mei, initially starting to speak but feeling too shy to finish, eventually changing her words, "Has he...humiliated you...?"

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a wave of tension at the words, although the one humiliated was a female ghost cultivator, it would still be disgraceful if Little Mei admitted. If she did, he'd genuinely be put on the spot.

Little Mei's gaze turned towards Wang Xiaoqiang, recalling the scene where he bullied her, hatred surged within her heart. But thinking of Wang Xiaoqiang not using her body and life as a threat against her father, the Ghost King, she was moved,

The complex feeling of love and hate left her conflicted, and ultimately, she pursed her red lips and shook her head, saying two words, "No."

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't expect Little Mei to cover for him despite being wronged, didn't expect her to respond to malice with kindness, feeling a wave of guilt and regret,

Little Mei's words didn't arouse any suspicion in others, but instead, made Princess Hua Shao feel jealous.

She believed that Little Mei saved her purely because of Wang Xiaoqiang, because Little Mei liked Wang Xiaoqiang.

Therefore, she wasn't grateful, and not only was she ungrateful, she also harbored resentment towards Little Mei.

Women are selfish in love. Women are ruthless when dealing with romantic rivals.

Princess Hua Shao stood up abruptly from the chair, eyes fixed on Little Mei with murder intent, yet she asked Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, what should be done with this female ghost cultivator?"

Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at Fang Qiu and others, and seeing their eyelids lowered, showing indifference,

he turned to Princess Hua Shao and said, "Let her go." (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
