#1281 - Chapter 1281 Take it Back

Putting aside the fact that finding Long Zaitian took some effort, just staying in this cave meant almost becoming a spider's dinner.

"Go find him quickly, we shouldn't stay here for long!" Ye Kong instructed.

Xiao Man led Ye Kong over, pointing to a hole less than twenty centimeters in diameter and saying, "Look, that little fellow crawled out from here."

Honestly, unless you know Bone Shrinking Technique, even if Ye Kong himself had been here, he could only have watched Long Zaitian run away.

"How is it? Do you have any clues about the people chasing us outside?" Xiao Man asked.

Ye Kong shook his head, "This group of people obviously has a clear goal, just killing and setting fires. Even if we temporarily intervene, they won't stay any longer. Judging from their moves, I can't tell whose handiwork it is."

Yu Hai, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "I know where this hole leads."

"Oh, little mute, you're finally willing to talk?" Xiao Man teased.

Yu Hai ignored him, pointing towards the dim inner chamber ahead.

"I came here once with my master before. He said that the Dragon Gate secret chamber is very special, and the passage is not in a low ditch, but on the high ceiling."

Hearing this, Ye Kong suddenly looked up.

On the smooth ceiling of the secret chamber, seemingly solid, there seemed to be something entrenched there, with subtle vibrations causing the gravel to teeter and fall.

Ye Kong leaped up, reaching out to touch the ceiling, feeling a slight warmth. Ye Kong grabbed a protruding edge and pulled hard, causing stones to fall down with a crackling sound. Then, a ray of light spilled down.

Ye Kong clearly saw a slightly moving black fluff ball huddled on the ceiling.

Ye Kong reached his hand over, and a stone thrown from the darkness hit his palm.

"Come out!" Ye Kong scooped the fluff ball into his palm, and a tearing sound came from above. Immediately afterward, Ye Kong saw a fair little face revealed under the black fluff ball, bursting into tears with a "wah" sound.

"Don't cry!" Ye Kong had never had the experience of coaxing a child, and seemed a little helpless.

Xiao Man immediately came to the rescue, taking the child in his arms, "Let me do it."

Xiao Man took out a lollipop from his clothes and began to coax the child.

"Now that we've found Long Zaitian, let's go," Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief, leading the others to leave.

Yu Hai inadvertently glanced at the child, and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Let's go!" Xiao Man said, carrying the child in front, "If we run into the people sent by the Upper Realm to investigate, it will be troublesome."

Yu Hai walked over, tearing open the fluff ball wrapped around the child, and after confirming again, said, "This child is not Long Zaitian."

Yu Hai pointed to the child in Xiao Man's arms, "His direction is reversed."

Ye Kong immediately walked over, knowing that Yu Hai had been by Li Tanhua's side for a long time and had deeply inherited Li Tanhua's true teachings, "Do you mean that the real Long Zaitian has already escaped?"

"No," Yu Hai continued to look up at the ceiling that Ye Kong had torn a big hole in, "He may still be hiding inside."

After speaking, under Ye Kong's gaze, Yu Hai quickly climbed up the wall and soon reached the hole, his figure disappearing into it.

Immediately afterward, a clanging sound came from above, as well as the sound of smashing things. Suddenly, a child's cry came, growing louder and louder.

In just an instant, the crying suddenly disappeared, and the entire ceiling above was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

The two below, not knowing what had happened, were anxiously scratching their heads.

"Why don't I go up and take a look," Xiao Man said, handing the child in his arms to Ye Kong.

"It's okay, he can handle it," Ye Kong said calmly, standing in place.

Suddenly, a huge light lit up on the ceiling, and the light began to change shape constantly, with wisps of green smoke floating out of the hole.

Then, with a bang, large pieces of the ceiling fell, one piece after another, beginning to spread across the entire area.

"Hurry, the secret chamber is collapsing!" Xiao Man shouted anxiously.

At this moment, Yu Hai's face appeared in the torn hole. On his back, he carried a child, whose mouth was heavily biting on his neck.

"Go!" Ye Kong reached out and pulled Yu Hai, and Yu Hai and Xiao Man each carried a child, and the group ran out in the last second before the secret chamber collapsed.

Behind them, the huge secret chamber collapsed, turning to ashes.

The group gasped for breath, it was simply a narrow escape.

Ye Kong pulled the child's mouth from Yu Hai's neck, and dark tooth marks had already appeared on Yu Hai's neck, with blood seeping out, and even the torn flesh could be seen.

After seeing this, Xiao Man said angrily, "We are saving you, do you know that? Why are you biting so hard?"

Ye Kong took out a tourniquet and did a simple treatment and bandage for Yu Hai's wound, then turned around to check on Long Zaitian's situation.

Sure enough, there was a golden dragon纹 on the left side of Long Zaitian's neck.

"He is a child, why are you arguing with him? Besides, it's so chaotic today, how would he know who is good and who is bad?" Ye Kong blocked Xiao Man's mouth with words, gently wiping the bloodstains on the child's face.

Xiao Man stopped talking, but was full of anger, and didn't look at Long Zaitian's side.

The group walked towards the place Li Tanhua mentioned.

Erlitou Gou was fifty miles away from here, completely out of Dragon Gate's jurisdiction. The sect entrenched in Erlitou Gou was the Thousand Buddha Cave, or so Yu Hai mentioned in passing.

Speaking of Thousand Buddha Cave, Ye Kong suddenly remembered an old friend.

He was grateful for his disciple Chunxiao's rescue that day, but later Chunxiao was forcibly taken back to Thousand Buddha Cave. At that time, he was only concerned with going to Zhongnan Mountain, and he had completely forgotten about this matter.

He wondered how Chunxiao was doing now.

But since they were so destined, after sending Long Zaitian away, Ye Kong was bound to meet his old friend.

But if Xiao Man knew about this, he would definitely grumble behind his back.

Returning to the foot of the mountain, just as they were about to look for a carriage, they saw the people sent by the Upper Realm were going up the mountain.

It seemed that the carriage was not an option, and they had to find another way.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Man stood up directly, "It's okay, let Yu Hai go. The people from the Upper Realm don't have his information, so he can pretend to be a passerby and won't arouse suspicion."

"No."

Ye Kong refused, "It's too dangerous. What if the Upper Realm representative seals the mountain? Then, Yu Hai would be taken back as a suspect."
