The monster riot outside lasted until dawn.

When the first rays of morning light shine through the cave entrance onto the flooded ground inside, the surroundings become extremely quiet.

Yu Nian stood up from the ground, rubbed her arms which were a little stiff from playing the piano all night, and then woke up Ye Tang who was still sleeping with his head resting on her knees.

"The beast tide has passed, everyone get up."

The clear sound echoed in the cave, becoming the first melody in this quiet morning.

Everyone opened their eyes and stood up, and the disciples of Miaodan Sect looked at the vampire bats all over the ground and happily went to pick up the demon pills.

"Don't even think about taking the vampire bat demon pills. The demon pills of dark creatures contain toxins, and the refined pills are also poisonous."

Ye Tang looked at these Miao Dan Sect disciples and said in a mocking tone, "Perhaps you won't see any effects when you take it at the time, but over time the toxins will accumulate in the body, and when they reach a critical point and can no longer be suppressed, they will burst out, and the cultivator will be killed by the backlash of the toxins...Aren't you disciples of the Miao Dan Sect? How can you not even know this common sense?"

The hands of the people from Miaodan Sect who were picking up the demon pills stopped in mid-air and they retracted them in embarrassment.

Ye Tang folded his arms across his chest and snorted disdainfully. Then, seeing Yu Nian walking towards Zhang Yuan who was supporting Lin Jingyao, he followed.

Yu Nian was a little confused and used her spiritual power to check Lin Jingyao's body. "The poison has been resolved, why hasn't Lin Jingyao woken up yet?"

Ye Tang, standing by, felt extremely ashamed. "Master, it's all my fault that my cultivation is too low. That's why Senior Lin Jingyao fell into a coma for so long."

Yu Nian stretched out her hand and wanted to take Lin Jingyao from Zhang Yuan, but was stopped by Ling Cang.

"Master, just hand him over to Zhang Yuan." Ling Cang glanced at the sleepy Lin Jingyao, a complex look flashing across his eyes as he continued, "Master is the only two Nascent Soul cultivators among our group. We all need your protection. Master must be tired after playing the piano all night. Now he should conserve his energy and recuperate."

Yu Nian hesitated for a moment, then nodded after thinking it made sense.

Although, she didn't feel tired at all...

At this moment, a young and handsome man, leading a group of graceful and beautiful young female cultivators, came forward and said, "Thank you, Senior Yu Nian."

"Junior Yuchen." As if hesitating about something, the male cultivator looked embarrassed and said in a frustrated tone, "I am from the Hehuan Sect."

After Yu Chen finished speaking, everyone looked at him and the group of female cultivators behind him in disbelief, as if they were looking at some monster.

The Hehuan Sect is located in southern Xinjiang and has an extremely long history. It is considered a top sect in southern Xinjiang. However, in the entire world of cultivation, it can only barely be ranked among the first-class sects. Although the Hehuan Sect is not a cult, its reputation has always been bad. Everyone's impression of the Hehuan Sect is related to Yin and Yang collection and dual cultivation.

However, the young man in front of him was full of sunshine and youth, and did not look like the disciple of the Hehuan Sect that he had imagined.

In fact, it was just that there were a few traitors in the Hehuan Sect who practiced the evil art of Yin-Yang Collection and did evil everywhere, ruining the reputation of the Hehuan Sect. Over time, everyone's impression of the Hehuan Sect became so bad.

In ancient times, all the male cultivators in the world of cultivation wanted to marry a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, because the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were not only beautiful because of their practice of magic, and they could practice together to increase their cultivation, but they were also gentle and virtuous, and had all kinds of skills in needlework and cooking.

Yu Nian nodded, which was considered a response.

The female cultivators behind Yu Chen also stepped forward one by one to express their gratitude to Yu Nian and greeted others cheerfully.

After everyone emerged from the cave, the warm sunlight bathed them in light, making them feel refreshed. The ground still bore the footprints of various beasts and the remains of giant trees. After some discussion, they all picked a random direction and continued on their way.

After a few days, everyone became familiar with each other.

Near noon, several foundation-building disciples of the Yaoguang Sect went out, hunted several wild boars, and brought them back. Everyone started a fire and started grilling them.

With the female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect around, Yu Nian naturally didn't need to do it himself. These female cultivators rushed to cook. The aroma of barbecue and the sweet smiles of the female cultivators complemented each other, and many male cultivators were intoxicated by the sight.

After the wild boar meat was roasted, Yu Nian and Ling Cang first received two large plates of their preferred pork legs.

Ling Cang took two bites, frowned slightly, and stopped eating.

Yu Nian picked up a piece of meat with a wooden stick and put it in his mouth. He thought it tasted good, and then looked at Ling Cang who didn't move his chopsticks. "Why don't you eat anymore?"

"It's not as delicious as what you cook, Master." Ling Cang said lightly.

"How could it be?" Ye Tang widened his eyes.

The meat roasted by the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and delicious. Sprinkled with seasonings brought from southern Xinjiang, it has a unique flavor of southern Xinjiang, which is really good.

Ling Cang gave her a cold look, and she immediately changed her tune: "How can it be so unpalatable? It has a weird smell."

Yu Nian ate it with great relish, picked up another piece and put it in her mouth, "I think it's pretty good."

Ling Cang leaned against the tree without speaking, eating, or paying attention to anyone. Yu Nian had no choice but to use a branch to pick up a piece of pork leg and grill it specifically for the old man.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The ground was shaking continuously, and the surrounding mountains exploded with a loud bang. The rocks and soil on both sides of the mountain walls fell down in chunks, and the whole world was shaking.

"It's an earthquake!"

Someone shouted, and everyone prepared to escape, heading towards a wide and flat area.

It should be the monsters that rioted some time ago, and their heavy footsteps destroyed the mountain. After accumulating for a few days, the earthquake broke out today when it reached the critical value.

The shaking force brought by the earthquake was so strong that the entire ground quickly collapsed behind everyone, and a huge black hole appeared, spreading out like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour the world.

too fast!

Before everyone had much time to react, a huge collapse rift appeared on the ground, almost swallowing everyone.

The moment Yan Yijian saw Lan Qingqing sliding down the rift, he rushed up without thinking, grabbed Lan Qingqing's hand, and grabbed a small tree on the edge of the rift with his other hand.

In the end, the small tree could not bear the weight of the two people, and they fell into the crack in the ground before Yan Yijian flew into the air.

Yu Nian, who could have flown away to avoid them, watched Ye Tang and Ling Cang fall into the crack in the ground and jumped in as well.

The earthquake continued, and the broken mountains buried the rift valley. Some people escaped, and some were buried underneath.

Tick, tick.

In the maze-like cave, there is accumulated water everywhere. From time to time, one or two drops of water will fall from the top of the cave and splash on the rocks on the cave floor.

Yu Nian shook off the dust on his body, pulled up Ye Tang and Ling Cang, and looked around.

The cave was filled with fluorite, making it exceptionally bright. The numerous forks in the road were like an ant nest maze, making people dizzy and unable to find their way. Yu Nian took out a compass.

This compass was bought by her when she was on Flora Island. After a lesson she had learned, she felt that she really needed this thing.

However, the needle on the compass was spinning very fast and showed no sign of stopping.

"Master, have you forgotten that we are in a secret realm where there is no distinction between east, west, south, and north?" Ling Cang's voice rang out.

Yu Nian's hand holding the compass was slightly stiff.

"Master, please save your energy. We don't know how deep we are buried. The mountain structure is loose after the recent earthquake, and digging upwards could easily cause a secondary collapse."

Ling Cang looked around expressionlessly. "This cave doesn't look like it was formed naturally. It shows signs of excavation, more like it was dug out by some monster... If that's the case, there must be a way to the outside world. Let's walk around in this cave and see if we can get out."

Yu Nian nodded, and the three of them entered the fork in the road on the right.

No matter what kind of maze it is, just walk along one of its walls, either the left or the right, and keep walking, and you will be able to get out of the maze.

Although this method may not be the shortest route, it is the simplest and will definitely lead you out of the maze.

This cave was almost like a maze. The three of them walked towards the right in this cave for a whole day. When they encountered a dead end, they returned to the previous fork in the road and walked into another cave.

Throughout the entire day, the surrounding environment remained unchanged, and the glow of fluorite was still everywhere. The only difference was that golden moss gradually grew on the cave wall, and the moss became denser and thicker, like a piece of furry blanket spread on it, emitting rippling light.

Ye Tang recognized this kind of moss. It was called spiritual moss and only grew in damp and dark places with abundant spiritual energy. It had extremely high requirements for spiritual energy and was extremely rare. Although it was not considered a spiritual plant and had not been graded, it was extremely effective in stopping bleeding and healing wounds.

As they walked along, Ye Tang took out the spiritual jade box and collected a lot of spiritual mosses.

On the morning of the third day, the spiritual energy around them became stronger and stronger, and the air became fresher and fresher, not as stuffy as in the cave. The three people's eyes lit up and they quickened their pace to move forward.

It seems that I have to go out!

When they reached the end of the cave and saw the light of day again, they were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.
