Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 122 Rescued by Lingmu Sect Disciples

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it had the magic to penetrate walls, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Upon hearing these words, Huan Yuechu, Xu Yan, and Wen Xingyu exchanged glances, each seeing deep worry and vigilance in the other's eyes.

Clearly, a huge crisis has befallen them.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them quietly closed the door and then tiptoed back into the room.

They lowered their voices and began to urgently discuss countermeasures.

Huan Yuechu frowned, thinking to herself, "Could it be that Wu Quan leaked our whereabouts to the enemy? If that's the case, then the situation has become extremely troublesome..."

After a brief moment of thought, Huan Yuechu made a decisive decision.

"There's no time to lose; we must find a way to escape from here as soon as possible. In my opinion, we can slip out through the back door of the inn first; perhaps that will allow us to avoid the search by those men in black."

Without further ado, Xu Yan immediately picked Xiao Bao up from the bed, and the four of them set off towards the back door of the inn.

However, as they approached the back door, they were shocked to find it heavily blocked off.

Several men in black, armed with sharp blades, stood ready, their cold gazes sweeping across the surroundings, not missing a single movement.

Huan Yuechu gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.

"At this point, it seems we have no other choice but to force our way out!"

A hint of determination and courage flashed in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xingyu, who was standing to the side, clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and her eyes revealed an unwavering light as she responded.

"That's right, in that case, let's give it our all this time!"

Xu Yan hugged Xiao Bao tighter, then nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with their decision.

Without hesitation, Huan Yuechu borrowed the sword from Xu Yan's waist and sped forward like a ghost.

With a flash of sword light, it was like a blooming flower blossoming in the air, instantly piercing down the two men in black at the front.

Wen Xingyu was not to be outdone. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly dancing in the air. She skillfully used her nimble movements to weave back and forth among the many men in black.

Every move he made perfectly drew the enemy's attention, successfully creating more opportunities for his teammates.

Xu Yan stayed by Xiao Bao's side the whole time, carefully observing the surrounding situation and looking for an opening to break through.

However, despite the three women's valiant resistance, the men in black surged forward like a tide, gradually forming an impenetrable encirclement that trapped them in the middle.

Just when they were feeling exhausted, a clear pigeon whistle suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a flock of snow-white pigeons drifted in like a white cloud.

As the flock of pigeons approached, countless white powders fell from their bodies.

The men in black, caught off guard, inhaled the powder and began to sway, soon collapsing and falling into a deep sleep.

Just then, a white figure descended from the sky, gracefully landing in front of everyone like an immortal descending to earth.

The newcomer was a man dressed in a white robe, with an elegant demeanor. He stood there upright like a pine tree, and his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes revealed a dignified and upright aura.

With a faint smile on his lips, he said softly, "You need not panic. I am a man who has come to help those in need, and I have come here specifically to lend you a hand."

Huan Yuechu looked at the white-clad youth who had suddenly appeared before her. Although she was grateful for his help, she remained highly vigilant and questioned him.

"Who exactly are you? Why did you appear here and save us?"

He declared loudly, "I am a disciple of the Lingmu Sect, and I cannot tolerate the despicable behavior of the Moyue Sect! Moreover, the matter involving that box is extremely important, and given your current strength and situation, it is extremely dangerous. If you do not wish to die, you should leave with me immediately."

Huan Yuechu and the others around her exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus—the situation was urgent, and the best course of action was to find a way to escape this dangerous situation.

Without further hesitation, they got up and followed the young man in white, leaving the noisy inn together.

The moonlight, as clear as water, spilled across the earth, as if draping the whole world in a silver veil.

The young man in white moved with light and swift steps, like a ghost weaving through the night.

Huan Yuechu and the others followed closely behind, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Before long, they arrived at a small house located deep in a remote valley.

The hut looked old and dilapidated, but it exuded a mysterious aura.

The young man in white stopped and turned to face the crowd, saying, "This is a secret outpost set up by my Lingmu Sect. Few people come here on ordinary days, so it is relatively safe. Please come in and rest for a while, and we will make plans after we have had time to recuperate." With that, he gently pushed open the door and led the crowd inside.

Upon entering the house, everyone found that although the furnishings were simple, it was clean and tidy.

Everyone found a place to sit down, began to adjust their breathing, calm their tense mood, and take this time to rest their tired bodies.

Xu Yan looked at the young man, clasped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Thank you for saving me, young master. But what secret does that box hold that has caused the Mo Yue Sect to go to such lengths?"

The young man's expression was serious. "This box is one of the keys to unlocking an ancient treasure. It is said to contain endless spiritual treasures, and for many years, various forces have been searching for its whereabouts."

Huan Yuechu sat quietly in a corner of the room, listening to the conversations of the people around her.

Her face was calm and serene, as if nothing in the outside world could disturb her inner peace.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats echoed through the sky, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

The sudden sound startled everyone present, and they looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

The boy flashed forward and rushed out to investigate the situation.

A moment later, he came running back in a panic, shouting, "Oh no! The Mo Yue Sect is here! This place has been exposed! We must move immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu suddenly stood up, gripping her longsword tightly in her right hand, her eyes firm and resolute.

She said in a deep voice, "Instead of running around like stray dogs, we should fight them to the death here!"

Before the words were even finished, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu shouted in unison, expressing their willingness to follow Huan Yuechu in fighting the enemy.

Seeing this, the boy thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

So everyone sprang into action, picking up their weapons and preparing for battle.

Huan Yue took the lead, charging into the enemy ranks like an arrow released from a bow.
