Even hybrid monsters have their day

"What's wrong?" Noticing his unusual behavior, Geng Miaowan also looked towards the passage.

"Someone's coming." At that moment, the three Huangfu brothers almost simultaneously noticed the anomaly emanating from the passage. To their astonishment, the energy was exceptionally powerful, even stronger than that of Luan Hao, who had just broken through. They vaguely felt that his strength had reached a level comparable to theirs.

According to Luan Hao, he had only been away from that body for a little over a thousand years, yet that body had cultivated itself to such a high level. It seems the Nuwa Stone must have played a significant role in this.

"It's Haotian." Based on their connection, Luan Hao could easily tell who it was. At the same time, he secretly wondered if Haotian had also sensed his presence and that's why he came.

"What should we do?" Xu Ruwen turned around and asked her.

Geng Miaowan's heart suddenly jumped. Her eyes, deeper than the night, darted around as she looked in all directions. There really wasn't a single place to hide inside. The only obstacle was the crystal coffin in the center of the arena, but it was transparent on all sides; even if someone hid inside, they would be spotted immediately…

Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. Now, even she could feel the energy fluctuations, so it seemed they would arrive here soon.

The situation didn't allow her much time to think. She lowered her voice and said to Xu Ruwen and the Huangfu brothers, "You two go back into my sea of ​​consciousness. And Luan Hao, you..."

She thought for a moment before saying, "Go back into the bead."

"Then what are you going to do?" Xu Ruwen asked. Luan Hao looked at her with the same question in his eyes.

“I…” The image of the woman lying in the crystal coffin suddenly appeared in her mind. Perhaps it was worth a try. “I have my own way.”

"I disagree. Although Haotian's cultivation is profound, with our strength, we have no reason to fear him." The others all showed their agreement when they heard Huangfu Aoran say this.

Geng Miaowan knew he was right. Even if Haotian was a level higher than Luan Hao, she still had the three Huangfu brothers. Although their cultivation was only slightly higher than Luan Hao's, and each of them might not be able to defeat Haotian individually, three heads are better than one. If they all joined forces, it wouldn't be impossible for them to restrain Haotian and allow her to leave safely.

"If we are exposed like this, it will be difficult to get in here again next time." This is Geng Miaowan's biggest concern. Many ants can kill an elephant. Even if they are strong, "If Haotian gathers the demons on Buzhou Mountain and guards the cave to fight us to the death, Buzhou Mountain, which is full of demonic energy, is a natural source of magic power for the demons. Against the demons who have the advantage of terrain, we will definitely not gain any advantage."

Her words were both reasonable and persuasive, leaving them with no room for rebuttal.

"And what about you?" Huangfu Aoxuan asked.

Although the invisibility spell could allow her to hide for a while, she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't notice her presence if his cultivation level was several levels higher than hers. The possibility of that was almost negligible. Rather than hiding and being discovered by him, it was better to put herself under his watchful eye from the beginning.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, "Just listen to me. Although it may not work, keeping you alive is my lifeline. Rather than being discovered together, it's better to let you hide in the shadows. If something really happens, at least we can catch them off guard."

"Since that's the case, you must be careful." Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xu Ruwen left these words and entered her sea of ​​consciousness first. Although he hadn't been with her the longest, he had to admit that he understood her the best among them, knowing that once she made up her mind, she wouldn't easily change it.

Moreover, her method was indeed quite prudent. Even if it ultimately failed, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to strike was still a good idea.

Seeing that Xu Ruwen had agreed to her, the three Huangfu brothers exchanged glances, nodded to her, and disappeared from her sight.

Geng Miaowan looked at Luan Hao and saw that he seemed to have no intention of returning to the bead. She knew that Haotian was a very special existence to him, and his feelings at this moment were certainly beyond her comprehension as an outsider.

However, the thought that Haotian's figure could appear at the entrance of the passage at any time made her unable to remain calm.

"Luan Hao..."

The two soft, simple words, tinged with pleading and longing, drew Luan Hao's gaze from the entrance of the passage. He stared at her for a few seconds before his figure vanished in an instant.

Geng Miaowan felt the beads inside her clothes warm up, and knew that he had returned to the beads.

Time was of the essence, and she dared not linger. In a flash, she changed into the revealing light gauze dress she had worn when she came in, and rolled over to lie down inside the crystal coffin.

She had just settled down when Haotian appeared at the entrance of the passage.

He frowned in confusion, his crimson eyes sweeping across the spacious open space inside the cave, but he didn't find anything unusual.

He was originally heading to the Green Mountain Sect, but some unexpected matters arose, forcing him to return to Buzhou Mountain. As soon as he entered Buzhou Mountain, he sensed that familiar aura and followed it.

"More than a thousand years have passed, are you finally coming back?" A mocking smile flashed across Haotian's handsome but pale face. Even if he came back, so what? This body was already his.

His crimson eyes coldly swept across the open space, finally settling on the figure inside the crystal coffin, his expression softening considerably. He took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the crystal coffin.

He stared at the person in the crystal coffin for a while, then sighed softly. From the moment he made her open her eyes, he regretted it.

Geng Miaowan lay there, keeping her eyes closed as naturally as possible. She could sense the unfamiliar presence beside her, which she assumed was Haotian.

He didn't grab her and attack her right away. Could it be said that she made the right gamble? Haotian hadn't yet encountered the woman who looked exactly like her who had already left the cave.

Even so, she was still very nervous, and as that aura drew closer, she became increasingly tense. Her heart was pounding violently in her chest, as if it would leap out at any moment.

She lay there motionless, silently praying that Haotian would leave quickly. (To be continued.)
