Chu Jingtang and the other two certainly couldn't understand why he was picking up bricks.

Lao Changtai asked, "What are you doing?"

Wu Jinliang didn't reply and was too lazy to explain. Now was not the time to explain in detail and he couldn't make it clear in just a few words.

What a smart man he is. Maybe the word smart is not the right word to describe him, but he has a very good ability to detect danger. He didn't even understand the situation clearly, but he immediately realized that danger was approaching. He was not so nervous even when he was detained by Grandma Qi.

He also realized that his chance of escape would be fleeting.

So it moves very quickly.

He quickly dug a hole as big as the mouth of a jar, then pressed his palm on the exposed ground. Under the fluctuation of magic power, a hole was immediately melted out of the ground.

Chu Jingtang and the other two were stunned and looked at each other, wondering when Wu Hehei had learned this magic.

They only felt that something was wrong but had not yet truly realized the approaching danger. It could also be said that they did not have a comprehensive grasp of some of the situations and did not know as much as Wu Jinliang.

After all, in their opinion, there should be no difference between falling into the hands of Grandma Qi and falling into the hands of Shenshan.

Wu Jinliang, who had withdrawn his hand, quickly turned his head to signal, "Hurry up and get off, or you won't be able to escape if you're late."

The three knew that he would not harm them, so they immediately jumped into the hole below.

Wu Jinliang, the last one to go down, leaned out of the pit and cast a spell, piecing together the floor tiles, pressing down the mouth of the hole, gathering soil to support it, and filling it up all the way, making his way deep underground to escape.

The standoff outside continues.

The leading member of the Bai clan knew exactly who was hiding here and did not dare to let them pass. Instead, he questioned the people from Shenshan and used Grandma Qi's name to defend himself.

The people who besieged this place were none other than the troops under the command of Feng Jue, the commander of the Central District, and another mountain patrol leader.

Feng Jue had instructed beforehand not to make things too ugly unless necessary, after all, it was out of consideration for Grandma Qi's face.

As a result, the siege here came to a stalemate, which was far less decisive than in other places. The commander was hesitant and the servants dared not offend Grandma Qi to death. After all, everyone knew the relationship between Grandma Qi and the Phoenix Clan, and no one knew the inside story, so no one would be too reckless.

The atmosphere in the temple was a little weird. At first, Grandma Qi only felt that the goddess' attitude was a little ambiguous and obviously abnormal. When the message from her subordinates came, she took out the mother-child talisman and saw that she had been lured away from the mountain. She was also shocked when her subordinates were surrounded.

She never expected that the goddess would do such a thing to her.

At this moment, Feng Jue, who received the news outside the door, flashed into the hall and landed beside Feng Qingping. He whispered a few words, saying that the people of Grandma Qi's tribe were stuck in a stalemate and refused to surrender. If they were to be arrested by force, there might be casualties.

In short, what should we do? Please let Feng Qingping decide whether to force it or not.

Qiu Ben glanced coldly to both sides and saw some clues.

After raising her eyes, Grandma Qi smiled, with a hint of sadness in her smile, and asked, "Goddess, I wonder why you sent people to surround my fellow tribesmen. Are you calling me here to lure me into a trap?"

While speaking, he also glanced at Qiu Ben.

Feng Qingping's face showed obvious apology, and she replied, "Grandma, it's not my wish. It's the Feng Clan's intention, and I'm just following their orders. Grandma, the Feng Clan definitely has no ill intentions towards the Bai family, especially towards you. As long as you cooperate and clarify the matter, the matter will naturally pass. Let your entourage give up the confrontation and don't make it a big deal. It's not good for anyone if there are casualties."

Grandma Qi's expression became more and more sad. She banged her cane twice and asked loudly, "Why? Why?"

She really didn't expect that the Phoenix Clan would turn against her without any warning, otherwise it would be impossible for them to bring Wu Jinliang and others up the mountain and hide them.

Even her spies on the sacred mountain didn't have time to warn her, which showed that it was a premeditated attack specifically targeting her.

She originally thought that the emotional value she had accumulated with the Phoenix Clan would be enough to gain a certain degree of protection from them, but she didn't expect that they would turn against her in an instant.

Now she felt that she had completely understood that "feelings" were not valuable. After all, the Bai family was not strong enough, and feelings without strength were too cheap.

This further strengthened her determination to obtain the demon book.

Why? Feng Qingping was a little embarrassed. She couldn't just say to his face that the Jihuo Sect gave enough.

Qiu Ben was not in such a dilemma, nor did he want to see things getting muddled, so he said immediately: "Old witch, you know why, and if you pretend to be confused, you can save it for later. I originally wanted to be more direct, but the goddess was concerned about the relationship between your two families, so she was so easy to negotiate. I advise you not to push your luck. If you start fighting, you can't escape this ancient formation. If you solve the problem properly, everything will be fine. A large number of people from the Bai clan have already gone there, so I advise you not to cause the genocide!"

Feng Jue immediately shouted, "Grandma, let them put down their weapons, and we can resolve the matter and it will be over."

"Hehehe..." Grandma Qi laughed miserably and shook her head, then sent a message with the talisman in her hand.

He did not ask his subordinates to lay down their weapons, but instead asked his trusted clansmen to quietly kill Gao He and the other four and destroy their bodies.

She knew very well that she was trapped in this ancient formation and could not escape with her strength, and it would be impossible to escape by force.

Only if those four people disappear and we can't find any evidence against them can she deny it.

Neither Feng Qingping nor Qiu Ben had expected that this old witch could hide the truth under the lamp and hide Chu Jingtang and the other two sent by Bai's Rice Shop on the sacred mountain, right under their noses.

"Old Chu, this is the earth escape technique, right?"

As they slowly crawled underground, Xiao Sheng asked Chu Jingtang.

Chu Jingtang was also confused and asked Wu Jinliang, "Boss Wu, when did you learn this magic?"

Wu Jinliang snorted, "You are too superficial to see how knowledgeable and talented Mr. Wu is."

The other three people all twitched their lips.

Lao Changtai: "Okay, stop talking so smoothly. If you want to run, run fast. You're moving so slowly, aren't you just waiting to die?"

Wu Jinliang, who was holding the golden flame in one hand and pushing the soil layer forward with the other, said with a puff, "You know shit. This sacred mountain is very important to the Phoenix Clan. Even though it's just a small area, there are a lot of masters in the Earthly Immortal Realm stationed there. Didn't you see the siege just now? It's not easy for people to escape from underground. If there's a big noise, they may be discovered. If you want to be safe, you can only take it slow."

That's true, but the reality is cruel. Chu Jingtang looked at the slow motion and smiled bitterly: "Can we run away?"

Wu Jinliang: "It depends on who the Shenshan people are coming for. If they are coming for us, we will definitely not be able to escape. Once they find out that we are missing, they will definitely search carefully and pull us out from underground very quickly. If they are coming for the Bai family, they must know how many people the Bai family has here, which may give us a chance to escape from the Bai family. The Bai family didn't dare to make it public when they found out that we were missing. The boss just sent a message saying that the city guards in the city are also arresting Bai's people."

When the three heard this, their eyes lit up instantly and they probably understood what he meant.

Xiao Sheng hurriedly advised, "Boss Wu, slow down, slow down even more."

Chu Jingtang also advised: "That's right, Boss Wu is wise and powerful, you should be quieter."

Wu Jinliang chuckled and threw the Tanjin Yanqi to Chu Jingtang, who took out the mother-child talisman. He had to inform Shi Chun of the current situation. If they were caught, Shi Chun would be the only one who could save them.

While they were hiding underground and chattering, the trusted clan member contacted by Grandma Qi among the Bai family's confronting personnel quietly retreated, avoided the sight of the besieged troops, opened the side window and entered the hiding place of Wu Jin and four others.

It turned out that the house was empty. After searching with magic without any results, he immediately ran into the meditation room, only to find that the room was also empty.

There was no place for anyone to hide in the empty and quiet room. After quickly casting a spell and scanning the room, no one was found hiding in the walls or on the ground.

Things went more smoothly than Wu Jinliang had imagined. It was not that the Bai family's searchers did not dare to make a public announcement, but they did not have time to investigate in detail due to the emergency situation, nor did they think about digging tunnels. The four guys were usually watched closely by people, so it was impossible for them not to notice the movement of digging tunnels. He hurried out again, and the first thing he did was to quietly search the neighboring houses, thinking that Wu Jinliang and his men had fled to other rooms.

The result is imaginable. The person disappeared, vanished out of thin air, and could not be found.

There was no time for him to search slowly now. The pressure from the opposing Shenshan troops was increasing, and he could not gather people to conduct a large-scale search. Wouldn't that cause problems for Shenshan to notice?

This matter must be reported to Grandma Qi, please make the decision.

Grandma Qi was also a little confused when she received the news. She had been being watched by the tribesmen, and just because she was surrounded by the troops of Shenshan, she lost her mind for a moment and disappeared out of thin air. How was this possible? After all, there were still troops of Shenshan surrounding her outside, so it was impossible for her to escape.

Under the pressure from Qiu Ben, Feng Qingping couldn't let her drag the matter on indefinitely. She turned her head and gestured, asking Feng Jue to go to the scene and handle it personally.

In the end, Grandma Qi gave orders to the tribesmen to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Of course, she had to act as if she had finally convinced her tribe members.

Now she really hoped that Wu Jinliang and the others had escaped, and that they would not be found again by the Shenshan people during a search. If that happened, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a thousand mouths.

Feng Jue, who was present at the scene, felt a mixture of emotions when he saw the Bai family members who had laid down their weapons and gathered at the scene under control. Some of them were very familiar to him, but he did not expect that it would come to this.

His men came up to him and reported: "Thirty-five people, not one less, all are here."

The order from above is to capture them all, without leaving any one behind.

Feng Jue hummed, and then said: "Collect and seal up all the things that belong to them. If nothing happens later, return them intact."

The subordinate said, "We have searched the entire house, inside and out, from top to bottom. All their belongings have been gathered together, not a single thing is missing."

"Take him away." Feng Jue left after saying that.

Underground, Wu Jinliang and his gang moved slowly and quietly for a long time, but when they didn't see any movement, they realized that they might be able to escape temporarily.

Then they continued to move forward slowly, and finally created a hole in the cave wall that allowed light to come into view, but they still didn't dare to go out.

Wu Jinliang poked his head out first and looked around. Although it was surrounded by thorns and bushes, he found that he was still on the hillside not far from the place of confinement.

He shrank back, cast a spell to shrink the hole which was only as big as his head, and took out the mother-child talisman again to contact Shi Chun, informing him that he had temporarily escaped.

Shi Chun told them to stay where they were unless necessary and said he would find a way to pick them up at night.

There was no other way. The command arrow that allowed one to enter and exit the formation was in Shi Chun's hand, and Wu Jinliang did not have Shi Chun's right eye ability, so he could not see where the secret sentries were. At this tense moment, he dared not run around.

After making the contact, Wu Jinliang took the mother-child talisman and laughed a little, "Okay, just wait for the boss to come pick you up."

He estimated that it would not be easy for Shi Chun, who did not know how to escape underground, to get in, and it would probably take some effort.

Chu Jingtang whispered, "Didn't they say that the sacred mountain is protected by a large formation? Can the boss get in?"

Wu Jinliang chuckled, "Otherwise he is the big boss. Don't worry, with the big boss's ability, if he wants to come in, this formation can't stop him."

The specific method of entry was not mentioned, and it was not a good idea to leak it in advance, but it created some mysterious aura for Shi Chun.

He relaxed, and lay in the small hole with his head in his arms and his legs crossed, pretending to be relaxed, but in fact he was a little worried. After all, he had been chased while escaping underground before, and he was still worried that someone would find him by following the traces of his escape.

But now he didn't dare to show his head and run around, nor did he dare to escape everywhere. For the time being, he could only wait.

Little did they know that Chu Jingtang and the other two looked at him with something strange in their eyes. They were actually led by this guy out of the crisis.

Some things may seem simple, but they know very well that decisions and judgments at critical moments are very important. This big guy can grasp the fleeting opportunities very accurately, and this ability is definitely not possessed by everyone.

No matter how much I thought about it, I realized that this guy would not be easy to kill unless he was absolutely and directly crushed.

The three of them had a different understanding of Wu Jinliang.

At this time, Shi Chun was already moving quickly through the forest of heart-wrapped grass, rapidly approaching the sacred mountain, trying to buy time for rescue.

From what Wu Jinliang said, he knew very well that Wu Jinliang's escape was only temporary. Once someone discovered their underground escape route, it would be easy to catch Wu Jinliang and his companions. This was full of possibilities.

Even the Bai family might confess. Once Shenshan knows about it, he will immediately conduct another thorough search.

Since Wu Jinliang has created an opportunity to escape, he must seize this opportunity quickly to rescue.

After a rush, still in broad daylight, he found a temporary area covered by a forest, close to the border of the formation. He cast a spell and carefully dug a hole, trying not to make any noise, and carefully observed his surroundings from time to time.

They didn't dare throw the excavated soil away randomly, so they put it all into a storage bag.

Whether it was day or night, he didn't dare to create a golden light to enter and exit the formation openly. Digging a hole in the ground to block the light was the safest way. Fortunately, with his cultivation level, this job was not difficult...

Snapped!
In the prison of Dazhicheng, Dong Wenshu, who was tied up in a cross-legged position, was only whipped once. As soon as blood appeared on his body, he shouted loudly: "I confess, I confess!"

The jailers looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that this man would actually confess the secrets of Wang Ping and Gao He.

One person sighed and said, "Mr. Dong, if you had said so earlier, wouldn't you have to suffer this?"

Dong Wenshu panted and said, "It's too uncomfortable to tie me up like this. Let me go and I'll tell you everything I know."

He was an old acquaintance in the city, and he knew that Dong Wenshu was not a big threat. The interrogator waved his hand and said, "Untie him."

So Dong Wenshu was released again with a loud noise, and someone brought a stool for him to sit on.

The interrogator smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, please speak in detail. We all know that you are a good person. We will not embarrass you once we have figured out the situation."

Dong Wenshu was a little indifferent. He reached out from his collar and took out a necklace with a jade pendant hanging on it. After taking it off his neck, he stared at the jade pendant with ancient patterns.

This is something passed down from his ancestors, and it is not allowed to be used lightly, saying that it can only be tried at critical moments.

At the moment, how could he know anything about Wang Ping and Gao He?

At first I thought we could have a good argument, but who knew they were serious and there was no reason at all, they actually tortured him.

It didn't matter that he himself was being tortured, the key was his three daughters. As a man who had read thousands of books, he certainly knew how terrible the punishments inflicted on women in the torture chamber were. They could even destroy their innocence. How could he let his three daughters suffer that kind of torture?

"Mr. Dong..." the interrogator urged, not knowing what he was looking at with the jade token in his hand.

Dong Wenshu looked up at him with a determined look in his eyes. He suddenly slapped the necklace in his hand, and it shattered directly on the bench he was sitting on. The lights in the room flickered, and out of nowhere there was a sound of breeze dissipating.
