Transmigrated into a heretical cultivator, leading all the villains to ascension.

Chapter 114 Guarding the Primordial Pearl

However, heeding advice and eating well are good options.

Gao Huohuo did not stubbornly stay behind to find out what was going on.

I'm afraid that she won't be able to figure out what's going on in Luoxia City in a short time.

As Su Ruoyun went out, he was considering where to stay for the night when he heard Su Ruoyun exclaim in surprise.

"Oh no, someone has gone to the place where the underground treasure is hidden. We need to turn back now."

Upon hearing Su Ruoyun's words, Gao Huohuo quickly flew back to the Dark River with her on their swords.

After all, Su Ruoyun was determined to obtain the treasure of the Dark River.

The two hurriedly returned to the underground river, only to find a large crowd gathered at the entrance, indicating that something big had happened inside.

In order to avoid being recognized, Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun had to disguise themselves as two handsome young men.

Then he pretended to have just arrived and inquired about the details of the underground river from the others.

Su Ruoyun patted a cultivator on the shoulder and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, my junior brother and I are late. What happened here?"

The person who was patted on the shoulder turned around and saw a handsome Golden Core cultivator asking him a question.

He quickly turned around and said, "What have you two been doing? The others who arrived earlier have all gone inside to help the Holy Maiden catch evil cultivators."

We arrived late and can only wait at this entrance, hoping the saintess will see me!

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo asked in surprise:

"The heretical cultivator has been found? And the Holy Maiden has arrived too?"

"Of course, according to the Holy Maiden, that evil cultivator is hiding in this underground river. The genius youth from the Qingyun Sect is here specifically to help her capture the evil cultivator."

The two have already gone inside, and they truly look like a match made in heaven!

As soon as the cultivator finished speaking, Gao Huohuo, as if by conditioned reflex, looked anxiously at Su Ruoyun.

His gaze was fixed on her face, filled with worry that her words would make her jealous or even sad.

Little did she know that Su Ruoyun seemed to be on the same wavelength as her, staring intently at her at the same moment, her eyes also filled with concern and inquiry.

Gao Huohuo wondered to himself: Why is Su Ruoyun staring at me like that? I have absolutely no interest in Zhong Hanshang.

She frowned slightly, looked around, and saw so many eyes staring at her intently. She knew that trying to force her way in was simply a pipe dream.

Just as he was pondering this, Gao Huohuo had a sudden inspiration and quietly transmitted his voice to Su Ruoyun:

"Fellow Daoist Su, how about I try to lure the people away from here? You quickly put on an invisibility talisman and go inside first. I'll meet up with you later."

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Su Ruoyun gently waved her hand, then pulled Gao Huohuo aside without further ado, whispering:

“I know of another entrance, but that place is quite dangerous. Once inside, you are above an underground river, and if you are not careful, you could fall into the water.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo's eyes flashed with determination, and she answered without hesitation:

"Then let's hurry up and leave. If all else fails, we can just have Zi Ying hang me up and swing me across."

After saying that, the two of them immediately ran towards another path, led by Su Ruoyun.

This road was truly difficult to traverse, with jagged rocks and uneven terrain. If Gao Huohuo hadn't relied on his rather agile movements, he would have nearly slipped and tumbled down several times.

Along the way, they traversed and climbed through winding mountain caves, turning left and right, and after a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Huo Huo, I'm going downstairs first. Be careful when you come down!"

After giving Gao Huohuo her instructions, Su Ruoyun jumped down from the hole, followed by a thud.

Gao Huohuo also jumped down into the cave, and the first thing he saw was the underground river.

He flung Ziying to the shore, hooked her onto a rock, and landed safely.

"Fellow Daoist Su, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll just wait for you here."

What Su Ruoyun liked most was Gao Huohuo's perfect sense of proportion at this moment.

However, there was no need to hide it from her anymore. Su Ruoyun took Gao Huohuo's hand and led her into the depths of the dark river.

The two moved extremely fast and soon arrived at the location of the treasure.

The treasure was still there, unharmed, but it did seem to be a little lacking in perfection.

"What's going on? Fellow Daoist Su, should we retrieve the treasure now or continue waiting?"

Su Ruoyun thought for a moment and decided to continue waiting, otherwise if she removed the Chaos Pearl now, its power would be insufficient and it would not be able to exert its due value.

"Huo Huo, I've decided to stay here and wait for the Chaos Pearl to fully absorb its power before taking it away."

You don't need to stay here with me. Just come find me at the beginning of next month.

Upon hearing Su Ruoyun's words, Gao Huohuo frowned and pretended to be angry, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Su, you're being too polite. I promised to accompany you to retrieve the treasure, how could I leave alone?"

Besides, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just stay here and keep you company.

"If someone carelessly walks in, I can help you."

Su Ruoyun knew that Gao Huohuo meant what he said, so she didn't refuse anymore.

The two sat down on the spot. Gao Huohuo was about to ask Su Ruoyun about Luoxia City when he sensed that someone was coming.

At the same time, Su Ruoyun also noticed, and the two of them quietly stood up, and then they heard a woman's voice.

"Han Shang, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me! What if that evil cultivator shows up again?"

Zhong Hanshang is here too? Weren't they looking for evil cultivators? Why are they so far in here?

Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts.

That means we absolutely cannot let them come here.

After a moment's thought, Gao Huohuo suggested that she go out and lure the two away, while Su Ruoyun would guard the Hunyuan Pearl.

She took out a cloth and covered her face, then had Xiao Lingzi put an illusion on her face before Gao Huohuo went out.

She deliberately made noise not far from Zhong Hanshang and the others, and soon sensed two auras coming towards her.

Gao Huohuo affixed the Swiftness Talisman and began rampaging through the cave.

She left her scent trail as she ran, waiting for the two people behind her to catch up.

Zhong Hanshang rushed over as soon as he heard the first sound.

The more Zhong Hanshang chased after it, the more familiar the aura seemed.

It wasn't until they detected the remaining traces that Zhong Hanshang was certain that the person was Gao Huohuo, and that he had deliberately lured them away.

Is she really in cahoots with the evil cultivators? Is she covering for them now?

Thinking of this, Zhong Hanshang decided not to pursue the matter any further and instead prepared to go back and find out what was going on.

Gao Huohuo had been keeping an eye on the two people behind him. Seeing that Zhong Hanshang was about to go back, Gao Huohuo rushed out and grabbed him in a moment of panic.

Just as Chen Wanzhen was about to see the two, she placed invisibility talismans on them.

"Strange, where did they go? How could they run so fast? Even Han Shang has disappeared."

Chen Wanzhen thought she was too slow to keep up, so she continued to chase after her.

Once she was out of sight, Gao Huohuo finally revealed herself.

Seeing that she was still holding Zhong Hanshang's hand, she quickly let go.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, what a coincidence!"

"It is quite a coincidence. Fellow Daoist Gao, don't you want to explain something?"
