"Brother, you go first, I will lead it away."

"You take Chen Wenjin away, and I will lead him away."

"Brother, listen to me. After I lure it away, I will be invisible when you leave. This snake can't find me at all." Zhang Zhan begged while hiding from Zhu Jiuyin.

"Brother, believe me, otherwise we really have to die here. We have to take Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling out, let's go!"

In the middle of talking, the two of them hid more and more in a panic. Zhang Qiling knew that what Zhang Zhan said was right, and this was their only chance.

Taking advantage of Zhang Zhan's drawing away Zhu Jiuyin, Zhang Qiling ran out of the first well with his legs covered in blood, and saw Chen Wenjin, covered in mud, carrying Huo Ling on his back.

"What happened?" A bloody man suddenly jumped out from the entrance of the cave, which startled her, and upon closer inspection it was Zhang Qiling.

"Let's go!" Zhang Qiling quickly put Huo Ling on his back, and led Chen Wenjin around, and quickly returned to the dense forest. It was already dusk outside, and they had to return to the canyon before dark.

Although the cockscomb snakes would come out in full force after dark, there were still some cockscomb snakes staying in the dark corners outside. Zhang Qiling came out in a hurry, without smearing mud, and there was blood on his legs.

"There's a snake!" Chen Wenjin didn't have time to stop it, Zhang Qiling had to carry Huo Ling on his back, but also had to deal with several other cockscomb snakes, he couldn't dodge, and was about to be bitten, Chen Wenjin saw a white figure kill the snake.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Go first."

The three of them finally entered the canyon when it was completely dark, opened up several statue caves, and they temporarily rested inside.

Chen Wenjin obviously had a lot to ask, seeing that both Zhang Zhan and Zhang Qiling were wounded, he calmed down and helped Zhang Zhan pick out the broken pieces of porcelain on Zhang Qiling's leg.

Although the layers of broken porcelain in that waterway have been thousands of years old, they are still very sharp. At that time, Zhang Qiling almost smashed down, and his legs were riddled with holes from the broken porcelain.

It took the two of them more than two hours to help him pick out the broken pieces of porcelain on his legs. After bandaging Zhang Qiling's legs, Zhang Zhan almost lost his strength and could only lean on Zhang Qiling to breathe.

Zhang Qiling hugged nervously, "Rest." Then he looked at Chen Wenjin, "Ask."

"She has been following us? Why not follow?"

"Do you know that the people who came this trip came from various forces, some of them are known to you, and some are secretly. I don't feel relieved to expose Ah Blossom to the public."

"But how did she manage to stay undetected?"

Zhang Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Qiling, and saw him nodding his head, and then Zhang Zhan disappeared.

"This..." A large living person disappeared in front of him. Even Chen Wenjin, who had seen so many super-scientific people, was so shocked that he lost his voice.

"I am the soul of the sword."

"No wonder she's so beautiful..." Chen Wenjin murmured.

"Thank you." Zhang Zhan understood Chen Wenjin, and she was indeed complimenting her.

"You just said that there are many forces who also want to get this secret, who do you know?"

"Jude Kao and Central you know, maybe there's an 'it'."

"'who is it?"

"Don't check it after you go out. You should know that you can't know this secret after you go all the way. What's more, your original intention was to find the medicine that can undo the fragrance of forbidden woman, and now you have found it."

"I know, but I finally want to go to Genting Tiangong again."

"Why?" Zhang Qiling could feel that the reason why Chen Wenjin wanted to go to Yunding Tiangong again was not because of the treasure inside or the legendary secret of immortality.

"This is Qi Yu's last wish, and I don't want A Ling to sacrifice for me in vain. Qi Yu gave this to me before she became a forbidden woman." Chen Wenjin took out a piece of bronze and iron from his bosom.

Still expressionless, Zhang Qiling took the bronze iron plate from Chen Wenjin's hand and examined it carefully.This piece of iron looks like a piece of bark, and it seems to be part of the bronze sacred tree.

"Qi Yu said that he saw this from the room full of jewels in the Yunding Tiangong. At that time, he thought it was a fragment of a bronze vessel, which should be of some value, so he put it away."

Zhang Qiling knew that the real reason must not be this, he probably recognized that it was made of the same material as the bronze chains in the Zhang family's ancient building before bringing them out.

"I don't know what this is either." Zhang Qiling returned the copper piece to Chen Wenjin.

"You should know how dangerous Yunding Tiangong is, and I won't go in with you this time." The implication is that without him, going in is simply asking for death.

"You know that I am a distant relative of Chen Pi Asi."
