Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

A shrill howl instantly escaped from the man's mouth. He looked at the equally panicked little girl holding a scimitar in front of him with fear and despair. He looked extremely embarrassed.

His hand, which was originally on his wrist, had already fallen to the ground, and blood was oozing out of his wrist. This happened too suddenly, so suddenly that before he could react, his hand was gone.

The little girl looked at the middle-aged man who was looking at her with fear with some guilt. Just as she was about to apologize, Jiang Wenbai's sword had already rushed in front of the two of them.

Seeing that Jiang Wenbai, the culprit, dared to attack her, the girl frowned, and then raised her knife to meet him without any hesitation. For a while, the two fought in a group, but because their strength seemed to be equal, the fight was hard to tell.

On the other side, the man's sudden howl interrupted the woman who was playing the piano, causing her to subconsciously pause.

But before the woman could continue playing the piano, Zhao Wenlong suddenly appeared and smashed the piano in front of her into pieces with one punch.

The woman looked at Zhao Wenlong who was rushing around with a look of astonishment. Just as she was about to run away, she was knocked to the ground by a punch from Zhao Wenlong who was quick-eyed and quick-handed. It seemed needless to say what would happen to her next.

Although Shangguan Zhi suffered a lot of evil energy from the Yin Shi Palm in today's battle, Chu Yanhong didn't seem to gain any benefit. After getting a few new wounds on her lower abdomen and shoulders, Chu Yanhong couldn't help but frown.

She was already somewhat inferior to Shangguan Zhi, not to mention that she discovered that the middle-aged man's bell and the woman's piano had been destroyed. Knowing that staying any longer would only bring trouble to herself, she made a prompt decision to take her people away.

But in an instant, Chu Yanhong left with that group of subordinates. The speed was so fast that it was astonishing. When everything was over, Shangguan Zhi wanted to contact Xuanyuan Jing, only to find that Xuanyuan Jing could no longer be contacted.

At this time, on the other side of the Sunset Forest, Yan Wenmo carefully handed the brocade bags to Xuanyuan Jing and Zhao Xiaofeng, and then said very seriously:

"This is a magic bag for repelling wild animals. It can repel wild beasts and insects. There are many dangers in the Sunset Forest, and more dangers come from encountering many animals around you, so you must always carry it with you. If you lose it, tell me immediately and I will make one for you."

At this point, her expression became more serious, and she even looked at the two of them with a hint of warning, and said in a deep voice:

"If you lose it, tell me immediately. Unless it is necessary, do not act alone..."

After giving them many instructions and warnings, and realizing that they might not reach their destination if they didn't leave now, Yan Wenmo said to them excitedly:

"Okay, let's go."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing grabbed her sleeve and couldn't help but plead pitifully:

"Thirteen, Sunset Forest is very dangerous, we...we..."

Seeing Xuanyuan Jing looking at her with resistance, Yan Wenmo subconsciously thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed dangerous for Xuanyuan Jing to go to Sunset Forest with such a weak strength, so she subconsciously said seriously:

"If you don't want to go, you can just find an inn in a nearby town and stay there for a few days. Once we get the thunder god vine, we will return to the Haotian Sect."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing immediately let go of the hand holding Yan Wenmo's sleeve and said hesitantly:

"How...how can I do this?! I...I'm worried about you being alone."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and happily suggested:

"Why don't we wait for our senior brother to come and go together?"

Hearing this, Yan Wenmo looked at Xuanyuan Jing's serious expression in surprise, and asked in shock and astonishment:

"Have you forgotten that they are still being hunted by the Saint of the Demon Cult? When they come, we three will be among the ones being hunted."

At this point, she explained seriously to Xuanyuan Jing, who looked apologetic:

"Besides, the things we are looking for this time are good things. What if they are obtained by those evil cultivators? How do you know if they will interfere?!"

At this point, Xuanyuan Jing suddenly realized that they had not encountered the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult who had been chasing them.

Could it be that the Saintess of the Demon Cult had been hunting down Senior Brother Ouyang and his group? ! And Thirteen and I were not actually being hunted down from the beginning? !

So, when Senior Brother Ouyang said that he was under a tracking seal, Thirteen turned hostile and took the opportunity to take him away. Was his purpose to get him to leave that place of trouble as soon as possible? !

If this is true, then my move to ask the eldest senior brother to come and help persuade Thirteen not to go to Sunset Forest would be counterproductive.

After all, she also knew that she and Thirteen were not very strong. If they had not met the eldest senior brother but instead met the Saint of the Demon Cult, they would probably be tortured to death. Moreover, she also knew a thing or two about the Saint of the Demon Cult's methods.

But the eldest senior brother just said the day before yesterday that they would be able to reach the Sunset Forest today. They have come thousands of miles, and if their trip was in vain, it would be a waste of their efforts.

For a moment, Xuanyuan Jing was in a dilemma. She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell Shangguan Zhi and the others about her entry into the Sunset Forest.

Not only that, she also mentioned her own superficial speculation and some information that Yan Wenmo said about the heavy thunder god vine. Finally, she carefully followed Yan Wenmo's pace.

Yan Wenmo didn't doubt that Xuanyuan Jing had fallen behind. She still looked around vigilantly and led the way for the two of them. Xie Xiaofeng, who followed behind her, also looked around vigilantly and didn't notice Xuanyuan Jing's little movements at all. Because Xuanyuan Jing felt guilty, she pretended to be unaware and followed the two of them silently.

After walking for about half an hour, Yan Wenmo finally arrived at a cave introduced by the system. The cave was halfway up the mountain. With the strength of Xie Xiaofeng and Xuanyuan Jing, they naturally arrived there quickly. And because Yan Wenmo had Xuanyuan Jing's help, it was not difficult for him to reach the cave.

The cave was empty and clean, without any messy bones, feces or the like. Seeing this, Yan Wenmo simply asked Xuanyuan Jing to take out the things he had bought in advance from the Qiankun bag, and then the three of them started to get busy.

Xuanyuan Jing had lived alone before joining the Haotian Sect, so she was very skilled at cleaning. Although Xie Xiaofeng was the leader of a sect, she was not troubled by such small matters as arranging the house. And although Yan Wenmo was once a lady from a wealthy family, she was also good at cleaning because of her ten years of experience as a choreman.

The three of them worked hard for a few incense sticks' time and finally arranged the cave to look like a place where people could live.

After all, Yan Wenmo is still a man on the surface, so in order to protect the reputation and safety of the other two, Yan Wenmo used curtains and screens to separate the three people's residences.

Yan Wenmo lived on the outermost side, Xie Xiaofeng lived in the middle, and Xuanyuan Jing lived on the innermost side.

Because it is close to the outermost layer of the cave and has good light, Yan Wenmo's residence, along with the kitchen, pots and pans, and even firewood, rice, oil and salt are all here.

Because Xie Xiaofeng was practicing secret techniques and liked simple things, her residence was simple and elegant. Xuanyuan Jing was sweet and lovely by nature, so her residence was much more refined than the other two.

After the group had packed up their own accommodation, they all lay down on the bed to rest because they were too tired. Yan Wenmo looked at the ceiling of the cave, thinking silently in his heart that he hoped the thunder god vine would not be too difficult to obtain.
