I traveled through time with my best friend.

Pei Chong said nonchalantly: "There are things in here that are more valuable than these jewels."

"What is that?" Wen Yu looked at Pei Chong in confusion.

Pei Chong slowly walked towards the boxes, reached out and slowly touched the jewels on the boxes, and said with reminiscence: "I don't know what it is, it may be one of the many jewels among these."

"As long as it is combined with the Wuji Pearl, it will produce a huge reaction. Subverting the Chili Kingdom is nothing." Pei Chong said, and then looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "So, nephew, nothing in here can fall into the hands of those who are interested."

Pei Zhijin nodded, then looked at Wen Yu and asked, "When will the people arrive?"

Wen Yu thought for a moment and said, "At this hour, I'm afraid they have already arrived."

After hearing this, Pei Zhijin said to Pei Chong: "As long as the emperor's secret guards come, King Cheng and the Queen Mother's people will not do anything, and these treasures will be handed over to the emperor to deal with."

Pei Chong nodded, then coughed twice and sat weakly on the box.

Lin Yiyi looked at the boxes and didn't see any white jade hairpins. After Wen Yu took a tinder and lit a few candles next to them, the room became brighter. Lin Yiyi saw Pei Chong sitting on the box next to a pile of jewels, and on top of the jewels was an inconspicuous wooden box.

The box was not tightly closed, revealing the color inside. Lin Yiyi immediately confirmed that it was a white jade hairpin.

He slowly helped Wang Ziyan to sit aside, then walked towards Pei Chong.

"How are you, old man?"

Pei Chong looked at Lin Yiyi and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you are the one who suffered."

Lin Yiyi was sitting next to Pei Chong, with a pile of jewels behind her. She took the opportunity to talk to Pei Chong and hid the hairpin in her sleeve.

When Pei Zhijin was about to take Jiang Xue away first, a flying sword suddenly flew over from the door. Pei Zhijin dodged it quickly, and the sword turned back halfway.

A man in a white robe and a mask slowly walked over, revealing only his sharp eyes.

"Who are you?" Pei Zhijin asked coldly.

The man glanced at Jiang Xue in Pei Zhijin's arms, a trace of worry flashed across his brows, and then he said to Pei Zhijin in a cold voice: "You don't need to know who I am, take her away quickly."

When Lin Yiyi heard the voice, she looked towards the door cautiously. Seeing the person coming in white clothes, she remembered the senior brother on Baishan Mountain that Jiang Xue mentioned. Could he be the person who looked for Xueer last time?

Pei Zhijin held Jiang Xue in his arms and blocked the door, saying coldly, "I'm afraid you can't take the things inside."

"I'm here... I just want one thing, get out of the way!" Bai Sheng said in a cold tone.

"So what if I don't let you?"

Bai Sheng silently clenched the sword in his hand, and seeing that Jiang Xue's face was pale as if she had no life, he endured it. If he hadn't taken his junior sister into consideration, he would have knocked the person in front of him to the ground.

Pei Chong of course recognized the man in white, so he laughed and said, "Why, the old man on Baishan Mountain also wants the treasure?"

Bai Sheng looked inside and saw Pei Chong sitting there in tattered clothes and covered in wounds. His eyes suddenly became sharp.

He had seen him in his master's portrait and heard his master mention him. This man was the person his master hated the most.

Bai Sheng raised his sword as he spoke, and while Pei Zhijin was not paying attention, he moved quickly. In an instant, the sword in Bai Sheng's hand pierced Pei Chong's heart.

"Old man!" Lin Yiyi was the first to react and slapped Bai Sheng with her palm. Bai Sheng drew out his sword and quickly dodged.

Pei Zhijin put Jiang Xue down, drew his sword and attacked Bai Sheng. The two fought each other. Seeing this, Wen Yu also drew his sword and started fighting.

Lin Yiyi supported Pei Chong and shouted anxiously, "Old man, hold on." Then she took out a pill from her arms and fed it to Pei Chong.

Pei Chong stretched out his hand to stop him and said softly, "Don't waste it. I'm already dying."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Blood kept oozing out of Pei Chong's mouth. Lin Yiyi began to panic. "Girl... I... taught you... the skills and... the internal strength... you must practice diligently, so that your... trick... won't... hurt your... body every time you use it."

"You can't die, old man, you haven't taught me yet." Tears flashed in Lin Yiyi's eyes.

Pei Chong suddenly smiled and said, "I have already taught you everything you need to teach. The rest depends on you."

“Old man…”

Pei Chong managed to hold on and said, "Jin'er is lucky to meet you guys. The Wuji Pearl and the hairpin in your arms are a pair. Remember, you must not let them fall into the hands of these people."

After saying this, Pei Chong closed his eyes.

"Old man!" Lin Yiyi screamed.

Pei Zhijin heard Lin Yiyi's voice and saw that Pei Chong had closed his eyes. Although he hated him very much, he was still his relative after all. He watched his relative die in front of him.

Pei Zhijin's eyes became sharper, and his men became more ruthless, aiming at Bai Sheng's vital points with every move.

Bai Sheng, Pei Zhijin and Wen Yu were fighting each other. Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Bai Sheng was worried about Jiang Xue's situation, so he had to evacuate first.

When Wen Yu was about to chase after him, Pei Zhijin stopped him and said, "Don't chase him."

Wen Yu said anxiously: "Sir, that person is the one who was in He Mansion that night."

Pei Zhijin frowned. Although he didn't know what the man wanted, he knew that he was from Baishan, and that was Jiang Xue's senior brother. As long as he knew who that man was, it would be easy to investigate.

Pei Zhijin walked quickly to Pei Chong, but Pei Chong was already dead by then, and tears started flowing from Lin Yiyi's eyes.

Wang Ziyan also lowered his head, having not expected that his senior would die like this.

Pei Zhijin clenched his fists and stood up, saying coldly: "This place is dangerous, we must leave quickly."

Although Lin Yiyi was very sad, she understood the current situation clearly. Now that Xue'er was injured and there were people outside eyeing her, she had to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Yiyi stood up, looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Master has just pointed out the way out, follow me."

As he spoke, he went to help Wang Ziyan. Pei Zhijin picked up Jiang Xue, and Wen Yu followed behind, and they left quickly.

The path Pei Chong pointed out was the fastest way out. In less than an incense stick of time, they had already come out of the underground. The sunlight was shining on the dense green leaves. When they came out, they closed their eyes because of the glare.

When Lin Yiyi opened her eyes again, she saw a black object not far away. Wang Ziyan recognized it as someone from Shadow Hall at first sight.

When Yingshi raised his head, Lin Yiyi could see who it was.

"Yingshi?" Lin Yiyi asked Wen Yu to support Wang Ziyan, and then quickly ran towards Yingshi.

Ying Shi was lying there with wounds all over his body, unable to move. Seeing Lin Yiyi coming towards him, he was about to stand up. Lin Yiyi quickly supported Ying Shi and asked anxiously, "What's the situation outside now?"

Ying Shi's cold voice sounded, saying: "There are two groups of people outside. We kept fighting with them until another group showed up. I was able to survive, but they had already..."
