The next morning.
Yan Gongluo anxiously paced back and forth in the room, occasionally rubbing his palms or scratching his head. Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and sat heavily on a chair. Suppressing his panic, he said: "Grandfather, master and the others have already been gone for an entire day and night without any news. We really cannot wait any longer. If something happens to master, then what is the point of our existence?"
Yan Tianwei calmly looked at him and spat out a word: "Wait."
"Wait … but we really cannot wait any longer …"
"Wait!" Yan Tianwei heavily snorted, swallowing Yan Gongluo's unfinished words. He calmly said: "With master's ability to teleport thousands of miles away in an instant, there is nothing in this world that can trap him. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if master really fell into the hands of the Northern Emperor Sect due to a moment of carelessness, the Northern Emperor Sect would definitely have already released the news. Yesterday, there was a loud sound from the Northern Emperor Sect's direction, and that was clearly the extremely strong power released by the Calamity Bow. Master has not returned yet, so he definitely has his own plans. We cannot act rashly and ruin master's plans. "
"But, what if, what if …" Yan Tianwei's words did not make Yan Gongluo feel at ease. He stood up and frowned.
Yan Tianwei frowned and said in a low voice: "Two days, let's wait another two days. If master still hasn't returned, then we will do whatever it takes to force our way into the Northern Emperor Sect … Don't worry, even if that 'what if' you said is true, nothing will happen to master. Hmph, they will definitely want the Calamity Bow in master's hands and will definitely not harm master's life. "
Yan Gongluo sat down heavily. Now that things had come to this, he could only listen to his grandfather and silently pray that all the 'what if's would not happen. Different from Yan Gongluo, Yan Tianwei maintained an indifferent calmness and did not worry about anything. However, his calmness did not last long.
Another day passed. Ye Wuchen and Cold Cliffs still had not returned, nor did they hear any news. Yan Tianwei's heart finally stirred.
After the night, another day came. Today was the third day since Ye Wuchen and Cold Cliffs went to the Northern Emperor Sect. Yan Tianwei did not sleep for the entire night. He stood on the roof of a tall building early in the morning, looking at the location of the Northern Emperor Sect in the distance. The grey robe on his body had long been soaked by the dew. His deeply furrowed brows showed the seriousness in his heart.
"Grandpa?" Yan Gong Luo appeared behind him, calling out softly.
"Wait … If Master still hasn't returned by nightfall … you should go and prepare," Yan Tianwei said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Yan Gong Luo left worriedly.

"Hey! Hey! Log, lazy log, lazy pig! It's time to wake up, "Ping 'er poked Cold Cliffs's nose with a piece of straw, finally waking him up from his meditative state. For the past two nights, Ping 'er slept on her not too shabby little bed, while Cold Cliffs sat at the corner of the small wooden hut, facing the wall and meditating like an old monk. .
Cold Cliffs opened his eyes, judged the time based on the light and was about to stand up.
"Don't move first, change the medicine." Ping 'er slapped him down, picked up the medicine bottle and helped him untie the belt on his feet. The blood stains on the belt had already dried, and it had not been stained for the past few days. After untying the belt, Ping 'er frowned as she looked at his injuries and nodded in satisfaction, "Ghost Hag's medicine is indeed effective, coupled with my hard work … oh, your recovery rate is not bad, you are almost fully recovered. I think it's fine if you don't change your medicine. "
"Someone's here." Cold Cliffs's gaze sharpened as he whispered.
Ping 'er hurriedly got up and stood by the wooden door, listening intently for any movement outside.
"Miss Ping 'er, the sun is already shining on your buttocks, I wonder if you have woken up." Little Eight's lazy voice rang out from outside.
"Stupid Little Eight, are you asking for a beating? Why are you screaming so early in the morning!" Ping 'er opened the door and glared at Little Eight and Little Nine. His aggressive stance caused the two of them to take a step back at the same time.
"Hey … we wouldn't dare to disturb Miss Ping 'er if there's nothing important. Madam asked us to inform you that you have completed your three years of confinement and can be released tomorrow. Madam also said that you can look for her after you get out. "Little Nine said, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"Ah? Out? "Ping 'er was caught off guard and was stunned.
"Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. Eh? That's strange, what's with your expression? Could it be that you've stayed here for too long and have developed feelings for this place and can't bear to leave? Or … hehe, you can't bear to part with your Brother Little Eight? "Little Eight chuckled.
"Cheh!" Ping 'er pouted disdainfully and waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, I got it. Hurry up and get lost, I need to tidy up."
"What else do you have to tidy up?" Little Nine rubbed his nose and muttered. He then grumbled under his breath, "Aiya, once Ping 'er leaves, us two brothers will have to continue guarding this empty space. I wonder which master or mistress we will be serving next time."
After they left, Ping 'er's face darkened. She returned to the house and slammed the wooden door shut. She hurried to Cold Cliffs's side, "Did you hear that? They said that I can get out tomorrow. What should I do?"
Cold Cliffs raised his head and looked at her in confusion.
"Are you stupid!" Ping 'er punched him forcefully, "If I leave, how are you going to stay here? Even if you don't get discovered, you will starve to death … Also, most importantly, if I can't be with you, how is Ye Wuchen going to bring me out … No, no, no … I'm finished, I'm finished, what should I do, what should I do …"
Ping 'er paced around anxiously, pulling her hair. Suddenly, she swayed to Cold Cliffs and asked in a serious tone, "Are you really brought here by Ye Wuchen? Will he really come back to bring us out? "
"Yes …" Cold Cliffs answered confidently.
"Boohoo … you stupid blockhead, he will definitely not come back. With your abilities, anyone would think that you are dead after staying alone in the Northern Emperor Sect for three days. He will also think that you are dead and won't come back. Boohoo … that must be it. I really want to go out and take a look. Fine, I finally have a chance but I can't get out." Ping 'er whined pitifully.
"I'll bring you out." Cold Cliffs stood up, averted his gaze and looked out the door.
"You?" Ping 'er shook her head vehemently, "Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please? You won't be able to get out. Even if you don't get discovered and no one stops you, you won't be able to get out of the Infernal Soul Sand. That is a place that only those who can use the Infernal Soul Technique can pass. You … if you stay here in the future, you will be discovered and captured by them in a few days. You can't even take care of yourself, how can you bring me out? "
Cold Cliffs, "…" Speechless, his heart wrenched and his fists tightened. He had never been one to admit defeat. At this moment, a crazy decision was brewing in his heart … he vaguely sensed that the reason for this decision was because of Ping 'er.
He wanted to bring her out. He longed to bring her out. Because she said that she would only tell him where Yan Zhimeng was if he brought her away. At the same time, that was what she wanted … or perhaps, that was what he wanted too. He realised that in the short period of time they had spent together, he was addicted to the feeling of being with her.
For a person who had never fallen in love, who did not even know what love was, once his heart was opened by someone, it would explode with an uncontrollable madness and passion.
"I'll bring you out." Leng Ya repeated what he had said. Compared to before, his tone was even more resolute and decisive. In fact, it even contained an irrefutable determination.
Ping 'er lifted her head to look at him in shock. In his eyes, there seemed to be a ball of fire burning. That was a sign that he was about to go berserk.
"What do you want to do?" Ping 'er's heart thumped wildly.
"I can … bring you out. I can't cross the Infernal Soul Sand, but you can!" Cold Cliffs said in a serious tone.
Ping 'er's eyes widened. She immediately understood what he was going to do. She shook her head vehemently, "That's impossible. Although the Northern Emperor Sect has not encountered any external enemies, they have never let down their guard. Moreover, the Demonic Emperor just invaded a few days ago. The Northern Emperor Sect will definitely be heavily guarded. How can we escape … Oh right, since you can come here without being discovered, maybe your concealment skills are really good. You can escape alone … Oh, that's not right. Even if you're not discovered, you won't be able to cross the Infernal Soul Sand … You, seems to be a dead end."
Cold Cliffs did not speak further. He looked straight at Ping 'er, using his eyes to express his determination.
"… You really want to bring me out?" Ping 'er understood the meaning behind his eyes. She suppressed her racing heart and asked tentatively.
Cold Cliffs nodded his head.
Ping 'er frowned and started pacing back and forth in the narrow space, as if she was thinking hard about something. Cold Cliffs looked at her pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, waiting for her decision. After a long time, Ping 'er turned around and stood in front of him. With great determination, she said, "Fine … Since you'll die if you stay here, I won't be able to rest in peace if I stay in the Northern Emperor Sect for the rest of my life. Since that's the case, let's give it a shot. As long as we can escape without being discovered, I can bring you out of the Infernal Soul Sand. "
She raised her fist and said solemnly, "If that's the case, we can only do it tonight … Your leg, are you sure you'll be alright?"
Cold Cliffs's right hand slammed hard on the ground. There was no sign of pain on his face.
"Hmph! Trying to be brave … Hey, let's make this clear. Since I've made up my mind, you, you better not drag me down. Forget it, I'm not really counting on you to get out of here. At most, I'll just die with you. My life was saved by Miss. In order to see Miss again, I'll give it my all. What's there to be afraid of? "Ping 'er said confidently. It sounded more like she was trying to boost her courage.
"Little Eight, Little Nine, ask Sister Zhu Er to send three sets of breakfast and lunch today. On the last day, I want to have a feast!"
Little Eight: "…"
Little Nine: "…"
