I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

After a few more breaths, Chu Chenmu finally relaxed, popped a pill into his mouth, and went closer to look at the girls.

They're just unconscious, nothing serious. Chu Chenmu called Luo Suichen over, "Suichen, use your wood elemental energy to wake them up."

Wood-based spiritual energy can heal injuries and is also the gentlest type of spiritual energy. Luo Suichen stepped forward to support Chu Chenmu and said, "Master, my wood-based spiritual energy can heal your injuries."

He wanted to save his master first, and then save the girls.

"I'm fine. I've already taken the medicine. After reviving them, I need to go check out another fork in the road."

Luo Suichen pouted and went to wake the person up. Chu Chenmu took out some snacks. He didn't know how these ordinary people could survive being captured for seventeen days, but they should need to eat something.

Soon everyone woke up, and sobs filled the air. Chu Chenmu glanced at Luo Suichen, realized he couldn't be ordered around, and forced himself to face so many girls alone. He gently comforted them for a few moments and then handed them some snacks.

"Thank you so much, two immortal lords, for saving my life!"

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

These people suddenly knelt down, almost scaring Chu Chenmu out of his wits. He made a hand gesture and lifted them all up.

Suddenly, everyone felt their legs stiffen and their knees wouldn't bend.

Once everyone had calmed down, Chu Chenmu led them outside.

Then they entered another fork in the road, where there was another cage. Chu Chenmu had learned his lesson and reached out to Luo Suichen, "Lend me your sword."

Looking at his bloodied and mangled palm, Luo Suichen hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Master, please apply some medicine first. After all, the person is locked up inside and there is no threat to their life."

Chu Chenmu felt a surge of comfort. After seven or eight years together, this child was finally willing to genuinely care about him.

So he smiled reassuringly at Luo Suichen, "I'm fine. It's good to get out of here quickly so they can feel at ease."

Luo Suichen remained silent. Chu Chenmu took the sword, first setting up a barrier for them, then sticking several talismans on himself before going up to strike again.

This time it went smoothly. He cleaned up the willow branches without hurting Chu Chenmu, and safely rescued the five men.

"This Willow Wood Goddess is quite particular, separating men and women into separate rooms."

After waiting for a while and finding no danger, Chu Chenmu removed the barrier, released Luo Suichen, and then woke up the other five people.

"father!!!"

A young woman rushed towards an old man, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.

"I am Su Fu, and I thank you, Immortal Lords, for saving my life!" The speaker was a middle-aged man whose demeanor was quite different from that of ordinary people. He made a move to kneel down before Chu Chenmu and Luo Suichen.

Upon hearing the surname Su, Chu Chenmu dared not ask him to kneel and quickly helped him up, saying, "No need, no need. Is Su Chengdian a member of your family?"

"It is indeed my son. You've actually heard of him?"

"I am Chu Chenmu. Su Chengdian has become my disciple. We have come here to find you. Please go out first; he is waiting outside."

Chu Chenmu handed Su Fu some pills; after all, he possessed cultivation and could be considered a fighting force. There was another person with cultivation who had come with Su Fu; both were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Chu Chenmu led a large group of people to the spot where they had originally fallen, and then remembered why they hadn't been locked in a cage after they fell.

So he asked Su Fu, "When you were captured, did you fall here?"

"No, I fainted immediately, and when I woke up I saw Venerable Chu."

Chu Chenmu secretly noted down this suspicious point.

He flew up, estimating that he had reached the height from which he had fallen. These were sixteen ordinary people; it would be a problem for the four cultivators to transport them out while also blocking Willow Lady's attacks.
