Reincarnation and Rebirth

At that time, Su Wan'er was diligently cultivating in the space.

She wanted to improve her combat capabilities as soon as possible, not only to upgrade the space, but also to protect herself.

But to everyone's surprise, the accident happened so suddenly. She had only been cultivating for a short time when Su Wan'er felt a faint heat in her lower abdomen, as if something in her dantian was about to break through the barrier.

When Xiao Bai saw its master's face turn red and veins bulging, it thought to itself, "Oh no, my master is about to level up."

Quickly sit behind Su Wan'er to help her digest this sudden surge of energy.

An hour later, the two, drenched in sweat, collapsed on the ground. Su Wan'er said weakly, "Thank you, Xiaobai. Why did this upgrade happen so suddenly? And just now, I felt like my body was on fire. It was terrifying."

Little White stuck out its tongue and said after a long while, "Master, that's because you have enough energy accumulated before, so you can level up directly this time. The leveling up from level five to level ten is different for each level, but they are all very painful. Master will experience what it means to be burned by raging fire, what it means to be torn apart by freezing cold, what it means to feel bone-corroding pain, and what it means to have your heart ripped out. Only by experiencing all of this will Master be able to level up perfectly."

"What? Xiaobai, you're not kidding me, are you? Just a moment ago, I felt like I was about to give up."

Little White shook its head helplessly, "Master, there's no other way. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight; if you want to reach the peak, you must first endure the pain; if you want to achieve great things, you must first suffer. Master, hang in there."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so cultured, Xiaobai."

"Hehe, I learned this from my master. My master is the most powerful person in the world, so as your divine beast, I certainly can't be too bad."

Su Wan'er rolled her eyes. This guy's getting cocky.

After meditating and circulating her energy for a while, Su Wan'er secretly left the courtyard and disappeared into the night.

She made her way to the outside of the city in the dark. The city walls were guarded everywhere. Fortunately, she was prepared. This time, it was no easy trip. Following Lin Nanxing's instructions, Su Wan'er found a hidden dog hole. Luckily, Su Wan'er was small, otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.

Once inside the city, the streets were deserted, and every household had its doors tightly shut. However, if you listened carefully, you could still hear faint sobbing coming from some of the houses. They were probably the families where the girls had been lost.

Her goal today was to rescue Zhu Zeyang first. If something happened here, someone would definitely report it to Black Tiger Stronghold. At that time, she could follow behind and take down the thief's den in one fell swoop.

Su Wan'er can now teleport about four meters using spatial teleportation, which greatly facilitates her. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and a crescent moon is obscured by dark clouds, making the entire street appear even more desolate. As soon as Su Wan'er approached the courtyard, she heard voices coming from inside. She immediately hid in her spatial dimension and openly eavesdropped.

"Damn it, why is that old guy sending a message to make a deal now?"

"Exactly, they can't even stop at night."

"Haha, maybe they're worried the person inside won't survive the night, tsk tsk."

"Boss, shall we go to the appointment now?"

"Yes, that thing is very important to the chief, we can't neglect it. Gather the men and head to the ruined temple in the west of the city."

So the meeting was at the dilapidated temple in the west of the city. Master, please hold on for now. I will come to help you as soon as I rescue your grandson.

Su Wan'er counted, there were a total of thirty-two people in the courtyard. She had sensed it at the city gate earlier; the guards there weren't all government soldiers. She wondered how they had managed to sneak in, or if it was a case of collusion between officials and bandits. Never mind, let's put that aside for now.

Of the thirty-two people, half stayed behind to guard the courtyard, while the other half went to the dilapidated temple with the eldest brother.

With more than a dozen people at almost the same time, Su Wan'er couldn't think of a better way than using drugs.

"Young Master, Young Master, are you alright? Don't scare me."

Su Wan'er was startled. Had she arrived too late?

The moment she stepped out of the space, Su Wan'er scattered a handful of medicinal powder, and the guards in the courtyard instantly collapsed to the ground. The few who managed to escape were also struck by Su Wan'er's silver needles and fell unconscious.

Hearing the commotion, the licorice inside was overjoyed. "Young master, wake up! Someone's come to rescue us!"

Upon seeing the person dressed in black and wearing a black veil appear, Gan Cao paused, her eyes filled with wariness, and asked, "Who sent you?"

"Shut up, we're in a hurry." After saying that, she squatted down next to Zhu Zeyang and took his pulse.

Fortunately, it was just excessive blood loss, festering wounds, and dehydration; well, he was still breathing.

Su Wan'er took out a Crimson Blood Pill and put it into Zhu Zeyang's mouth.

"What did you feed our young master?" Gan Cao tried to stop him.

“He’s already like this, I don’t need to do anything, he won’t even make it to dawn, and you’re still worried I’ll poison him?” Su Wan’er took out two more pills and some medicine for external injuries. “You can use these on your young master when you get to a safe place.”

"Could it be that you've come to rescue us?"

"How could Zhu Zeyang have such a stupid follower like you? Alright, can you still move? If you can, hurry up and carry your young master to the bank." This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand, and Lin Nanxing would be there to guard the place.

In fact, Su Wan'er was also very curious. It seemed that the money shop had a good relationship with the Zhu family.

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Presumably, these people never expected that Zhu Zeyang would return to the money shop just a wall away.

Gan Cao tried several times, but still couldn't carry the young master on her back. She was so anxious that the blisters on her lips burst.

"What's wrong with you? Haven't you eaten?"

"Yes, I haven't eaten for a day and two nights."

Su Wan'er patted her pocket and pulled out three large meat buns. "Hurry up and finish eating before we leave. They'll realize something's wrong and come back soon."

Startled, Gan Cao quickly devoured a steamed bun, stuffed the rest into his arms, hoisted Zhu Zeyang onto his back, and looked at Su Wan'er, saying, "Miss, aren't you leaving?"

"There are still some people next door. I'll leave after I save them. You should leave quickly."

"Please be careful, young lady, thank you." Gan Cao didn't bother to ask anything else; in his heart, the young master would always come first.

When Su Wan'er arrived at the next room, some girls who were still awake were terrified when they saw the man in black enter. Luckily, their hands and feet were tied and their mouths were gagged; otherwise, making a sound would have caused more trouble.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to let you leave. During this time, you'd better find a safe place to hide and never appear in anyone's sight. If possible, try to disguise yourself and leave Sunset City."

The girls could hardly believe their ears, looking at Su Wan'er with excitement. One of them even burst into tears when she saw Su Wan'er.

"Now I will untie you, but you must not make a sound."

Seeing the girls nodding frantically, Su Wan'er stepped forward and first helped the girl who was crying the most to untie her clothes. She must have been terrified. She looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Sigh.

The first woman to be untied did not rush to leave, but stayed to help Su Wan'er untie the other girls. Several others had fainted, and Su Wan'er gave them two acupuncture needles. After they woke up and explained everything, she removed the rags from their mouths.
