"The female corpse has awakened!" Someone shouted, causing chaos among the Xiang family.

However, Yang Chen's people raised their guns, the sound of weapons being loaded echoed, all aimed at the coffin in unison.

Seeing this, the Xiang family quickly hid behind them.

Yang Chen frowned deeply.

Left Envoy Yang cursed softly, "Useless!"

The Xiang family, after all, were her subordinates, and such behavior was utterly disgraceful to her!

As the banging grew more intense, everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn.

Yang Chen had a bad premonition.

With the banging, the entire cave seemed to start shaking.

Yang Chen suddenly looked up, his face changing dramatically, "Not good! Retreat quickly!"

Amid the tremors above, Yang Chen seemed to hear the sound of roars.

This was probably a sign that those guards hanging by the vines above were about to revive!

Hearing this, everyone quickly retreated.

Everyone ran swiftly and reached the edge of the pool.

Yang Chen saw that Night Fire had fallen asleep.

"Night Fire?" Yang Chen had a bad feeling, stepped forward, and shook Night Fire, calling out.

There was no response.

Suddenly, Yang Chen felt a chill in his heart and immediately shouted, "Yang Cao! Quickly! Come over and see what's wrong with Night Fire!"

Hearing this, Yang Cao rushed over and examined Night Fire's condition.

He pulled the bandage away, checked the wound, pried open Night Fire's eyelid, and finally took his pulse.

After a moment, Yang Cao said, "At present, it seems there's no infection, but he has fallen unconscious, possibly due to bacterial infection or excessive blood loss."

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Mastiff! Take Night Fire, let's get out!" Yang Chen said angrily.

"Yes!" The Mastiff responded, immediately carrying Night Fire on his back and tying him securely with a rope.

Everyone hesitated by the pool.

After all, the things underwater were too terrifying; from beginning to end, they hadn't seen how they attacked.

So, for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

To climb up the rope, they had to cross the pool.

Everyone was stumped.

Yang Chen frowned, pondering, trying to find a solution.

The only way to cross without touching the water was to build a bamboo raft.

But in this situation, where could they find wood or bamboo?

They couldn't go back and pry off the coffin boards, could they?

If they did that, they'd probably get tangled up with the two in the coffin first.

"Use sleeping bags!" Left Envoy Yang's eyes lit up and she said to Yang Chen.

"Sleeping bags?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

Left Envoy Yang's eyes sparkled with excitement, "Yes! Use sleeping bags, we need buoyancy, and our professional sleeping bags are made of waterproof material, so combined, they have enough buoyancy to be used as a bamboo raft!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen's eyes lit up, and he said to Left Envoy Yang, "You truly are my genius!"

Immediately, Yang Chen instructed everyone to take out the sleeping bags, merge them, and tie them together.

Eventually, it formed a raft-like shape, roughly capable of supporting a person.

Purple Cultivator tested it, and indeed, it could support a person.

Yang Chen immediately said, "Mastiff, you take Night Fire up first, only one person can go at a time, everyone speed up as much as possible!"

Carrying someone, the Mastiff didn't refuse, immediately boarding the sleeping bags with Night Fire, sliding across the water to the rope, and began to climb up little by little.

They pulled the sleeping bags back with the rope.

Yang Chen glanced at everyone and said, "Zhang Shaoting, Zhang Qicheng, you two go first!"

"Brother Chen!"

"Mr. Yang!"

The two looked at Yang Chen in surprise.

Yang Chen said to them sternly, "I promised to bring you here, so I have the responsibility to get you out. Now that I've helped you find what you need, my task is complete. Once you two leave, I've succeeded with nothing owed to the Zhang family anymore."

The two had no rebuttal and deeply bowed to Yang Chen in gratitude.

The two left, carrying a bronze box and half of a heart-protection armor.

After they left, Yang Chen instructed Meng Po to leave.

Meng Po adamantly refused, staring at Yang Chen, "No! I'll leave when you leave, I won't go before you!"

Yang Chen frowned for a moment, then said to Xiang Jixian, "Elder Xiang, you're the eldest, you go first!"

Xiang Jixian nodded, packed the other half of the heart-protection armor, and left.

Once he left, Yang Chen looked at Left Envoy Yang.

"Don't even think about it!" Left Envoy Yang immediately said, "I'm staying till the end with you!"

Left Envoy Yang now understood Yang Chen's plan.

Yang Chen felt helpless, although Left Envoy Yang didn't remember their past, she still had such a rapport with him, nothing could be hidden from her.

Suddenly, an angry roar came from inside.

Boom!

The sound of a stone being hit.

Everyone looked over there.

Soon, two figures appeared in front of everyone.

One was wearing red as if drenched in blood.

The other was clad in dazzling armor, exuding a warlike spirit.

Both of them had come out!

Yang Chen pulled Left Envoy Yang back a step, and Purple Cultivator and the others stood in front with money in hands, aiming at the two.

"Roar!" King Xiang and the red-clad woman roared in unison, many vine-like tentacles extending from behind them, looking sinister and terrifying.

"Fire!"

At Yang Chen's command.

Immediately, flames spewed.

Under the immense firepower, the two were forced back.

At the same time, they were enraged.

Tentacles frantically emerged behind them, trying to block the front's firepower.

But at this distance, with this firepower, it was almost impossible to block; their strikes were constantly shot off, snapping away.

The two were almost turned into sieves.

Thud!

The two finally couldn't withstand it, falling to their knees.

However, their wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Chen motioned everyone to stop.

He watched the two, seemingly noticing a change between them.

"Yu Ji!" King Xiang suddenly raised his head, excitedly looking at the red-dressed woman beside him.

"My King!" The woman threw herself into King Xiang's arms.

The two of them had regained their minds.

They embraced tightly, whispering words of longing.

Everyone was moved by the scene.

Yang Chen and Left Envoy Yang felt the deepest, having immersed themselves in the illusion as them, deeply understanding their feelings.

They spoke for a long time, then those tentacles grew out again.

King Xiang gently stroked Yu Ji's cheek, "Yu Ji, you have already died, living like this is as if you were puppets, better to be dead. In the underworld, you and I can still be together as lovers, why live so wretchedly?"

Yu Ji lay on King Xiang's chest, "I'll listen to whatever you say, my King."

Immediately, King Xiang looked at Yang Chen, "Burn us, it's less painful than living like this! Scatter our ashes together, so that we shall never part through all ages!"

Yang Chen was moved, looking at Left Envoy Yang.

Left Envoy Yang was already in tears, sobbing, "I promise I'll place your ashes together, no one will disturb you again!"
