Chapter 268: Chapter 255: Breaking Free from Predicament, Eternal Genius, Lady’s Affection, Immortal Crane Delivers Elixir

Li Xian said, "Yes... yes... I really got lost. I was entrusted by Senior Zhao to deliver a message. I lost my way while walking and could only wander aimlessly."

Qi Beidao said indifferently, "What message?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Xian said, "Senior Zhao has found a clue about that wicked woman and has trapped her in front of the Four Saints Cave! He sent me to seek help!"

"What!?" Li Quan said, "We have a lead on that witch! Good! Good! Do you think you can escape this time?!"

Qi Beidao frowned and said, "Oh? Really?" He studied Li Xian closely.

Li Xian thought to himself, "This Qi Beidao isn’t easy to fool. He just talked about Su Qiuyu, and there wasn’t any affection in his words. It seems they are wary of each other. Let me see if I can provoke him." He said, "Yes... yes! Earlier, I was running around and encountered the two seniors, Su Qiuyu and Shen Pingping. When they heard, they also rushed there."

"Senior Zhao said, that witch has a treasure map in her hands. If we can capture her alive, we can escape this godforsaken place. Seniors, please hurry and help!"

"Really?!" Qi Beidao felt a surge of urgency.

Li Xian said, "Whether it’s true or not, I, as a junior, can’t guarantee, but... but hopefully, it is."

Li Xian turned to Li Quan and said, "Senior, I have... have a request. I was ordered by Senior Zhao to deliver the message outside. But while walking, I completely lost my way. If possible, could you please take me along, back to the Four Saints Cave, to join the other seniors and disciples? With just myself... I truly... truly do not know how to go."

Li Quan sneered, "You little rascal, you’re quite amusing. This is an easy task, but very unfortunately, you are following Zhao Zhiyuan’s orders, and you’re under Su Qiuyu’s tutelage. Naturally, I don’t like you. Even though it’s an easy task, heh, I just won’t lift a finger, what will you do?"

Li Xian’s expression changed, "This... this..."

"Hahaha!" Li Quan said, "Get lost." With a flick of his hand, he flung Li Xian, who crashed heavily into the wall.

Qi Beidao said, "This matter cannot be delayed. Neither of us is familiar with the treasure map. Finding the Four Saints Cave will take some time. If we’re late... if they get the map, they might not come back for us. Let’s go quickly!"

Li Quan said, "Alright! That Su Qiuyu kid is really capable of such things."

The two of them used their Lightweight Skill and left. Li Xian let out a sigh of relief. From the rhythm of the conversation just now, he had calculated everything. It wasn’t difficult to trick Qi Beidao and Li Quan into leaving. To be honest, the two of them would most likely lose their patience.

But to deceive them and leave himself behind would be too suspicious. Li Quan is foolish, but Qi Beidao might not be. So Li Xian cleverly used Li Quan’s dislike for Su Qiuyu and Zhao Zhiyuan.

He conversed well with Qi Beidao, but suddenly pleaded with Li Quan, just to provoke Li Quan into refusing. Once Li Quan refused, Qi Beidao couldn’t say much.

Thus, all the dangers have been overcome one by one.

After a while.

Wen Caishang hurried over, helped Li Xian up, and said gently, "Li Lang! Are you alright!?" Li Xian said, "Not... not much, just a little chest pain. Let’s hurry!"

Wen Caishang kept nodding, saying, "Okay! Okay!" supporting Li Xian. In this perilous situation, Li Xian was covered in injuries, none of them minor.

The two of them passed through the critical path, encountering no further hindrances. They soon reached an exit and climbed along the mountain’s crack.

Li Xian’s right shoulder was severely injured, making it difficult to lift. Using the remaining Inner Qi, he performed the Lightweight Skill to support his climb. After dozens of feet, he gradually crawled out of the treasure area.

The breeze blew softly, and the immortal aura surrounded them.

Leaving the Sword-Seeking Alliance far behind in the treasure area.

After a brief rest, how could they afford to delay further? They immediately descended the side peak.

"Screech!"

Suddenly, a large crane with a red crown and white feet flapped its wings and appeared.

It held a pellet in its mouth.
