Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Dark blue runes flickered on the secret door, opening and closing like breathing, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations. Yan Yue withdrew her hand, her brow furrowed. This restriction was more complex than she had imagined. Breaking it by force might trigger the alarm and cause unnecessary trouble.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and called upon the remaining fragments of memory from her previous life.

As a top-tier psychic in her previous life, she had conducted in-depth research on various formations and restrictions. Although her current strength was greatly reduced, her experience and knowledge remained. Those obscure runes gradually became clearer in her mind, like solving a complex puzzle, and a trace of inspiration flashed through her mind.

Yan Yue opened her eyes again, a glint of confidence in them. She extended her slender fingers and swiftly traced them through the air. Rays of golden light streamed from her fingertips, fluttering like nimble butterflies before finally landing on the runes on the secret door.

As the golden light merged, the previously flickering runes gradually stabilized, and the faint blue light gradually dimmed, finally disappearing completely. With a soft click, the secret door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Yan Yue's heart was filled with joy. She cautiously stepped into the passage. It was pitch black, pitch dark. She pulled a night-shining pearl from her storage bag, and its soft light illuminated the surroundings. The passage was not long, and at the end was a secret room.

In the center of the chamber stood a stone table, upon which lay an ancient parchment scroll. Yan Yue quickly walked over to the stone table, picked up the scroll, and slowly unrolled it. The scroll was covered in intricate patterns and symbols; it was the defensive layout of a mafia supernatural organization's stronghold!

She carefully studied every detail on the map, and a clear plan gradually formed in her mind. This defensive layout seemed tight, but in fact there were some loopholes. If they were exploited properly, they could sneak into the stronghold silently.

Yan Yue put the scroll into her storage bag and turned to leave the secret room. At this moment, she suddenly felt a strange presence, as if someone was secretly watching her. She turned around suddenly, but found nothing.

"Is this an illusion?" Yan Yue wondered, but she didn't let her guard down. She carefully checked the secret room again, and after confirming that there was nothing else, she quickly left the room and returned along the passage.

When she returned to the corridor, she found Nong Jin standing there anxiously waiting for her. "Yuer, are you okay? What took you so long?" Nong Jin finally felt relieved when she saw Yan Yue return safely.

Yan Yue smiled slightly and told Nong Jin what he had discovered in the secret room. Nong Jin smiled with satisfaction. "Yu'er, you're amazing! With this defense layout, we can make a more thorough plan."

Yan Yue nodded and was about to discuss the next move with Nong Jin when he heard a loud noise coming from the distance...

Yan Yue saw the relieved smile on Nong Jin's face, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Since her rebirth, she had been living in the shadow of revenge. It was Nong Jin's appearance that shone into her life like a ray of sunshine, giving her warmth and strength.

She knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, as long as Nong Jin was by her side, she would have nothing to fear.

"Yu'er, you are awesome! With this defense layout map, we can make a more thorough plan." Nong Jin's eyes were full of admiration and love. He gently held Yan Yue's hand as if he was holding the whole world.

Yan Yuehui held Nong Jin's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart filled with happiness. She knew that Nong Jin was not only her lover, but also her strongest supporter.

However, this sweetness did not last long, as the noise from afar broke the momentary tranquility. Lei Hu, Lin Yu, Su Yao, and Elder Xuan Feng also rushed over, their faces showing a hint of anxiety.

"What happened?" Nong Jin asked.

"We found some traces of Shadow Messengers. They seem to have discovered our actions." Lei Hu said in a serious tone.

Yan Yue's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that the vigilance of the underworld supernatural organization was even higher than she had imagined.

"What should we do now?" Su Yao looked at Yan Yue with a questioning look in her eyes.

Everyone disagreed about the next move. Lin Yu believed that they should take advantage of the guards being distracted and directly attack the core of the stronghold to obtain more information. He firmly believed that only by gaining more intelligence could they formulate a more effective battle plan.

"I think we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory!" Lin Yu said firmly, "Now that the guards' attention is drawn elsewhere, it is the best time for us to sneak into the core of the stronghold!"

Lei Hu, on the other hand, thought they should evacuate first, sort out the information they had acquired, and then make plans. He believed that a rash attack was too risky, and if they were ambushed by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I think we should evacuate first," Lei Hu said in a deep voice, "We don't know enough about the situation inside the stronghold yet. It's too dangerous to attack rashly."

Su Yao stands on Lei Hu's side. She believes that safety comes first and that one should not take risks in order to obtain intelligence.

"I also think we should evacuate first," Su Yao agreed, "We have already obtained important intelligence, there is no need to take any more risks."

Elder Xuanfeng remained neutral. He believed that both options had advantages and disadvantages and it was difficult to decide.

"Both options make sense," Elder Xuanfeng said slowly, "We need to weigh the pros and cons and make the wisest decision."

Everyone held their own opinions, and the situation remained deadlocked. Yan Yue watched the arguing crowd with a sense of anxiety. Time was running out, and the underworld supernatural organization might discover their presence at any time. They had to make a decision quickly.

Just as everyone was arguing, a black shadow flashed from the distance, and then more black shadows emerged from all directions, surrounding them.

"Oh no, it's the Shadow Messenger!" Lei Hu shouted, drew his weapon and prepared for battle.

The Shadow Messengers attacked again. They split into two groups, one attacking Lei Hu and the others, and the other attempting to charge at Yan Yue. Lei Hu and the others fought back, his attack fierce, while Lin Yu used his formation to assist in his defense.

Yan Yue looked at the aggressive Shadow Messenger, a cold glint in her eyes. She gripped her sword tightly and whispered, "Jin, protect yourself..."

Before Yan Yue could finish her words, she shot out like an arrow, meeting the Shadow Messenger charging towards her. Her sword danced like the wind, its light gleaming and chilling. Each strike was precise and sharp, striking directly at the Shadow Messenger's vital points. Despite the Shadow Messenger's uncanny agility, he was still somewhat overwhelmed by Yan Yue's powerful attack.

On the other side, Lei Hu swung his giant axe with great vigor, and every chop was like splitting a mountain and splitting a rock. Lin Yu quickly set up a defensive formation to protect everyone.

The formation emitted a faint golden light, blocking all the attacks of the Shadow Messenger. Su Yao wandered in the formation, the magic weapon in her hand constantly making sharp chirps, disrupting the Shadow Messenger's movements.

Although Elder Xuanfeng is old, his strength should not be underestimated. When he waved the whisk in his hand, gusts of wind whistled out, forcing back the approaching shadow messenger.

Although everyone fought hard, the number of Shadow Messengers was too large, and their attacks became more and more fierce. Cracks began to appear in Lin Yu's formation, and Lei Hu's attacks gradually became slower.

"We can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death!" Lei Hu said, panting.

At this moment, Nong Jin stepped forward. "Yuer, retreat first! I'll cover you!" His tone was firm and decisive.

Yan Yue understood that now was not the time to show off her strength. She nodded and said, "Okay, be careful!"

Nong Jin swung the sword in his hand, and a golden sword energy broke through the air, forcing back the shadow messengers besieging Yan Yue. He stood in front of Yan Yue, opening a way for her to escape.

"You retreat too!" Nong Jin shouted to the others, "I'll cover your retreat!"

Although Lei Hu and the others were unwilling to give up, they also knew that now was not the time to hesitate. They quickly adjusted their formation and covered Yan Yue as he retreated.

Nong Jin fought alone against a horde of enemies. His swordsmanship was exquisite, and his sword energy crisscrossed and forced the Shadow Messengers to retreat. However, the number of Shadow Messengers was too great, and gradually, Nong Jin began to feel the strain.

After Yan Yue and others evacuated safely, they immediately found a secluded place to hide.

"Jin he..." Yan Yue's eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, Jin is very strong, he will definitely be able to get away." Lei Hu comforted.

However, they all knew in their hearts that facing so many Shadow Messengers, Nong Jin's situation was still very dangerous.

"What should we do now?" Su Yao asked.

"Wait for Jin first. We'll discuss the next plan after he comes back." Yan Yue said.

Time passed by, but Nong Jin still didn't show up. Yan Yue's heart became heavier and heavier, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Suddenly, Yan Yue stood up and said, "No, I have to go back and take a look!"

"Yu'er, calm down!" Lin Yu held her back. "It's too dangerous to go back now!"

"I have to go back!" Yan Yue said firmly, "I can't leave him alone!"

She broke free from Lin Yu's hand, turned around and ran in the direction she came from.

Under the cover of night, Yan Yue quietly arrived near the Xiuxian family's spiritual herb garden. Seeing the tight security and numerous sentries around... She took a deep breath and wondered where the deadly danger was lurking...
