Xiang Xueer suddenly felt a sharp sensation and quietly walked up to the two of them: "Shh, I feel like someone is following us."
"Really?" Li Yunyang exclaimed in shock, quickly standing still and turning to look around. He noticed an open space around a corner and hurriedly led the two of them to hide there: "Could it be that we've been discovered?"
"Don't you know?" Lan Ran Qingtian turned to look at him: "Can't you smell anything?"
Li Yunyang shook his head: "No, the smells here are just too overwhelming; I can't distinguish who is who."
Since even Li Yunyang couldn't tell, they had no choice but to hide there and wait. Xiang Xueer held her breath, gripping the silver dagger tightly, ready for whatever might appear behind them.
The sound of footsteps gradually approached. Although they could sense that the other party was trying to tread lightly, the shadows flickering on the ground in the dark Cavern could not be concealed.
At that moment, Xiang Xueer, gripping her dagger tightly, seemed like an arrow ready to be released. Her eyes sparkled like a leopard in the darkness as she leaped out from the shadows, one hand tightly gripping the neck of the intruder, the cold dagger pressed against his carotid artery: "Dare to follow me? You’re asking for death!"
"Wait... wait, Miss Xueer, it's me!" A familiar voice came through, and the three of them immediately recognized it. Li Yunyang brought his torch closer and realized that the mysterious follower was actually Lian Cheng Xue.
"What are you doing here?" Xiang Xueer quickly released his neck upon seeing him, realizing her earlier grip had been too harsh and had aggravated his injury, causing him pain.
Lan Ran Qingtian frowned and sighed heavily: "Lian Xiong, didn't we agree that you would rest at home? Why did you come here?"
Lian Cheng Xue clenched his fists, his face darkened as he shouted: "What kind of joke is this? How can I rest at home at a time like this!"
"Alright! Enough of that!" Xiang Xueer reached out to pat him: "The situation is urgent; let's put these matters aside for now and rescue those Exorcists!"
Lian Cheng Xue nodded, picking up a package from the ground and following behind the three of them into the deepest part of Duckbill Mountain Cave.
In an oval-shaped dim Cavern, resembling an ancient prison, there were rows upon rows of cages. Looking around, one could vaguely see that there were indeed people locked inside the cages.
Lian Cheng Xue rushed over and immediately saw the person sitting inside the cage. He shouted, "Old Zhang, Ouyang Brother; look, you are indeed all here, this is great."
Inside the cage, one was slumped to the side while the other was lying on the ground resting. Upon hearing the voice, both quickly got up and walked over in surprise, excitedly exclaiming, "Lian Xiong, you're still alive!"
"This is wonderful! I never expected to have the chance to see you again in this lifetime!" A few words immediately stirred all the Exorcists inside the cage. They all reached out their hands and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, please save us out of here!"
"Most of these are our Exorcists from Exorcism Village!" Lian Cheng Xue stood up and looked at the black cage, turning to the three and saying, "It really is Xuan Tie from two years ago; no wonder they couldn't escape!"
"Hmph!" Li Yunyang shouted loudly as he snatched the Black Iron Sword from Xiang Xueer's hand. "Don't worry, leave it to me. Everyone step back."
He confidently raised the sword in his hand and even struck a pose. Xiang Xueer pouted and leaned closer to Qingtian, saying, "Look at him; it's like he's completely forgotten about being trapped in that cage!"
"Heh heh! Let him be! The next part is crucial!" Lan Ran Qingtian felt a bit anxious inside: "How do we convince this group of Exorcists who just escaped death to help us rescue the villagers nearby?"
Xiang Xueer felt a bit of pain thinking about this. Human nature has always been selfish; escaping death makes people cherish their lives even more. Convincing them to risk their lives against the Bakemono army at this moment would definitely be challenging.
After a few claps, cheers erupted from inside the cage as everyone hugged together, feeling fortunate for their survival: "Great! We won't be used as sacrifices by those monsters!"
At that moment, while Xiang Xueer and Lan Ran Qingtian were worrying about how to persuade everyone, Li Yunyang unexpectedly jumped onto a nearby table and began giving a speech.
"I know everyone has suffered here, but please listen to me!" Li Yunyang stood on the table, looking at about a hundred Exorcists below him. "Today we are able to successfully rescue everyone not because of our strength but because those bastards Bakemono and Thousand Demons have set out with their army to slaughter the nearby villagers!"
"What? How could this happen?" Everyone was shocked and began discussing among themselves. At that moment, Lian Cheng Xue stepped forward: "Yes, you may not know this, but our Exorcism Village's people were also killed by these monsters a few days ago. My parents and sister are dead; I am the only one left in the village. Such a tragedy must not happen again, so we must go rescue the villagers attacked by Bakemono!"
"All... all dead?" The imprisoned Exorcists knew that Exorcism Village had been attacked when they were captured but never imagined that all the villagers had died. This news hit them hard.
"Damn Demon!" Tears streamed down Old Zhang's face as he punched the cage. "Wife, son, I will avenge you!"
"But, but we don't know those people nearby. Why should we risk our lives for them? Bakemono are powerful; we have no way to resist!" Voices of dissent arose, and in an instant, the Exorcists present split into two factions, engaging in heated arguments over whether to save or not.
"Why should we risk our lives for a group of strangers? We barely escaped this hellish place!"
"What are you talking about? If we don't eliminate these Demon, how can we still call ourselves Exorcists?"
The scene was chaotic. Xiang Xueer stood there in confusion, and Qingtian felt lost as well. Just then, Li Yunyang jumped down from the table and seriously pulled Lan Ran Qingtian to the front of everyone.
"Stop arguing!" With a loud voice, Li Yunyang silenced the entire cage. He pointed at Lan Ran Qingtian standing beside him. "Do you know who he is?"
Everyone was momentarily at a loss, staring at Qingtian and sizing him up. Li Yunyang exclaimed with amazement, "His name is Lan Ran Qingtian, the most outstanding Exorcist of the Blue Dye Clan, ranked tenth among the Holy Ten Exorcists. The brother of that Bakemono, Ten Thousand Ghosts, was eliminated by him!"
"Saint Ten ranked tenth? Blue Dye Clan, that's a prestigious family! So young and impressive!" The crowd began to murmur in admiration.
"As long as we unite as one and have the support of the Holy Ten Exorcists, we will surely win this battle!" Li Yunyang glanced sideways at Qingtian. "It's your turn now!"
"Huh? What? Why is it my turn?" Qingtian shouted anxiously. Seeing everyone staring at him, he had no choice but to step up.
"Since I was a child, my father taught me that as an Exorcist, it is our duty to slay demons and eliminate evil, even at the cost of our lives!" Lan Ran Qingtian looked at all the Exorcists in front of him. "I know it's unreasonable to ask you to do this right now; some of you have lost family, and some have just survived a disaster. However, knowing that innocent people are in danger while we turn a blind eye is not what being an Exorcist is about!"
