Everyone was looking at Ye Guichen strangely.

After a moment, Leng Wujiu burst into a crazy laugh and mocked, "Kid, is this how you act as the Holy Daughter's Flower Guardian?"

Leng Wujiu didn't doubt Shang Hongye's identity at all.

Because, before coming, Leng Wujiu had asked around about Shang Hongye's appearance and knew she was an unparalleled beauty.

Seeing her today, she was even more beautiful than imagined.

Under normal circumstances, anyone who could help the Holy Daughter escape should be smart, but Ye Guichen, who caused trouble as soon as he opened his mouth, was clearly a troublemaker.

"Holy Daughter, I think I am more suited to be your Flower Guardian than this little brother here!" Leng Wujiu said, with a trace of coldness at the corner of his mouth, "Since this little brother says this giant serpent is his pet, then I'll send him on his way to join the serpent."

As soon as he finished speaking, a master behind Leng Wujiu stepped forward, thrusting his sword directly at Ye Guichen.

"You've hurt my pet and want to kill people, it seems there's no such logic in this world?" Ye Guichen saw Leng Wujiu acting unreasonably, killing without a second thought, sneered contemptuously, didn't even lift his head, saw the sword coming closer, and slapped out a palm.

Pa!

He slapped the master flying.

Then, Ye Guichen's figure moved swiftly, like a shadow, reaching out to grab the master flying in mid-air, and returned swiftly.

The whole process took only a second or two.

Ye Guichen came in front of the giant serpent, ignored everyone, put the half-dead master next to the serpent's mouth, "Come on, open your mouth."

The giant serpent, severely injured, had almost no strength to escape now, dazedly opened its mouth at the command.

Previously saved by Ye Guichen, it now trusted only Ye Guichen.

Its mouth opened.

Ye Guichen threw the master in his hand into the serpent's mouth.

"Young Master Leng, save me, save me!" The master, considered to be of first-class skill, was slapped by Ye Guichen, rendering him incapable of fighting, though with a breath still left, was horrified that Ye Guichen would feed him to the serpent, struggled and screamed with all his might.

But it was useless.

Once inside the serpent's mouth, he was swallowed whole.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Ye Guichen truly kept the serpent as a pet? And fed it with humans?

Shang Hongye was utterly shocked, feeling a cold shiver.

She never thought Ye Guichen could be so terrifying.

Leng Wujiu was enraged.

Killing his man in front of him, was this not a slap in his face?

"Holy Daughter, this person is too arrogant, let me teach him a lesson for you!" Leng Wujiu's face turned cold, his killing intent towards Ye Guichen was complete.

The other three masters quickly surrounded Ye Guichen.

They didn't care about what Shang Hongye thought, they only wanted to kill Ye Guichen now.

Shang Hongye's face changed dramatically.

Just now these masters' combined attack left the serpent powerless to fight back, no matter how strong Ye Guichen was, how could he alone contend with them?

"Run!"

After a moment's hesitation, Shang Hongye suddenly extended her hand.

A pale pink mist spread out.

Then Shang Hongye grabbed Ye Guichen and darted towards the cliffside.

"Poison!"

Leng Wujiu had known Sakura Falling was skilled in poison, hence he was prepared, seeing Shang Hongye's move, he drew a folded fan from his waist and swung it abruptly.

The fan, with Leng Wujiu's power, created a gust of wind, instantly dispersing the poisonous mist.

"Chase them! Don't let them escape!" Leng Wujiu was primarily focused on capturing Shang Hongye, killing Ye Guichen was secondary.

Encountering the Holy Daughter here was heaven giving him an opportunity.

If Shang Hongye escaped again, he'd be scolded to death by his father upon return.

Ignoring the serpent, the group rushed after Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye.

Ye Guichen wasn't afraid of Leng Wujiu, but seeing Shang Hongye's kindness, he couldn't refuse, allowing her to pull him as they rushed towards the cliffside.

Although the cliffside was steep, many plants grew on it, and Shang Hongye had honed a climbing skill through often picking herbs, after a brief pause at the cliff's base, she quickly released Ye Guichen's hand, "Climb up first. Leng Wujiu is extremely powerful, rumored to have reached top-grade mid-tier martial arts, we can't possibly be his match! Let's first find the Ghost Kiss Grass and revive the master!"

Clearly, Shang Hongye didn't believe Ye Guichen could defeat Leng Wujiu.

In her view, she was doing this for Ye Guichen's sake.

After speaking, Shang Hongye swiftly began climbing the cliffside, "Follow me closely, don't lose track."

She left these words and darted forward.

Ye Guichen glanced back, seeing Leng Wujiu and others were closing in, knowing they wouldn't let go easily.

Wanting to kill them, there was no rush for now.

With a slight smile, Ye Guichen started climbing the cliffside.

Compared to Shang Hongye, Ye Guichen was faster, seeming more agile than a monkey, as if fleeing for dear life from Leng Wujiu and his men.

Shang Hongye, seeing Ye Guichen surpassing her, was stunned, a faint trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Although Ye Guichen had been impressive earlier, facing real masters, he was still scared.

"Trying to escape?"

Leng Wujiu soon arrived at the cliffside, darting up the steep wall.

The other masters followed closely.

But a Taoist, seemingly of weaker skill, lagged behind.

As they climbed higher, Ye Guichen having pulled ahead of Shang Hongye, nearing the cave entrance she mentioned earlier, suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from inside.

This aura was as strong as the giant serpent from before.

"Could there be another powerful beast here?"

Ye Guichen hesitated, immediately on guard.

Seeing Leng Wujiu and his men approaching fast, Ye Guichen had a sudden idea.

"Come, take my hand!" Ye Guichen paused slightly, seeing Shang Hongye catching up, he grabbed her hand and jumped onto the tree outside the cave entrance.

Almost simultaneously, Leng Wujiu's masters also rushed up.

They surrounded Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye.

"Ha, where do you think you're running now? You did show some skill, climbing as fast as monkeys!" Although Leng Wujiu's martial arts were strong, he didn't practice climbing as much, compared to Shang Hongye, who had picked herbs since childhood.

"Idiots!"

Unexpectedly, as those masters approached, Ye Guichen spat out two words.

Then, he abruptly pulled Shang Hongye, their feet seemed to have spring-loaded, lightly pressing down, using the tree branch's recoil, they jumped high.

The two masters attacking from both sides rushed forward to intercept Ye Guichen.

But just then, a roar echoed from the cave behind the tree.

The next second, a mouth larger than the previous serpent appeared, biting one of the airborne masters in half.
