At this time, she was just breaking a small promise, but she didn't know what impact it would have on her future practice.
Even if she knew there was danger ahead, Lin Qi still had to make this trip.
Pulling out the small wooden sword on her back, Lin Qi suddenly felt that her steps were much easier, and her mood seemed to be slightly improved at that moment.
Those invisible and intangible feelings are really amazing.
There was no one around at night, so Lin Qi concentrated on her journey and soon reached the middle of the two lines of defense.
In a cave, He Mei tightly held a girl who was so thin that only a handful of bones were left in her arms. The girl's eyes were closed tightly, her whole body was trembling, and her mouth was tightly covered by He Mei.
Hemei closed her eyes forbearingly, breathing heavily to comfort the girl in her arms: "Just wait, we will be saved if we wait!"
"Nan Nan, don't worry if it doesn't happen, my sister is here!"
The girl in her arms did not stop trembling because of her comfort, but began to twitch.
He Mei was so distressed that it was hard to breathe, and he kept staring at the jade plaque next to him out of the corner of his eye.
As long as Lin Qi comes over, she is willing...
There was a sudden noise outside, and He Mei was so scared that her whole body tensed up, and He Nan in her arms was so scared that she almost suffocated.
He Mei had already subconsciously touched the sword beside him, and suddenly heard a muffled shout.
"He Mei?!"
"Lin Qi?!" He Mei was so excited that his men sent him away.
A sharp cry suddenly sounded.
Lin Qi, who was outside the cave, frowned, drew her sword and rushed in.
"Don't do it!" He Mei quickly stopped him.
It took Lin Qi a while to adapt to the light in the cave and see clearly what was going on inside.
She couldn't help but gasp.
The girl in Hemei's arms was missing a pair of calves from her lower body and was as skinny as a stick. She was shaking unconsciously in her arms.
The girl bit He Mei's hand in her mouth, and it was dripping with blood.
Lin Qi probably guessed that the scream just now came from the girl. In order to stop her from screaming, Hemei put his hand into her mouth.
"What the hell is going on?!" Lin Qi asked in a low voice. She thought He Mei was in danger.
Now it seems that the situation is not too bad.
He Mei looked at Lin Qi with complicated eyes and her voice was hoarse.
She turned her head to cover up the tears in her eyes, "I didn't expect you would really come."
She was already ready to die with Nan Nan.
Lin Qi said cheekily: "I always keep my word, and I will definitely do what I say!"
I wonder if bragging will get me struck by lightning?
"Who is this girl?"
Hemei lowered his eyes and said calmly: "My sister."
Seeing her downcast expression, Lin Qi didn't ask any more questions and just asked, "Why are you here so late at night? What do you want me to help you with?"
Hemei's dark eyes stared at Lin Qi, "... Let's talk about this later. I have news to tell you."
"What?" Lin Qi was a little confused and had many doubts about He Mei's behavior.
"There is an evil team stationed less than a hundred meters away from here. There are also two powerful Nascent Souls among them, one of whom is the high priest of the Tianji Sect."
"What?!" Lin Qi's pupils shrank, "One hundred meters away?!"
"Yes! They will launch a full-scale attack at midnight tonight. If you want to inform the people in the Demon King's Tomb, hurry up."
"How did you know this information?"
Hemei said calmly: "My sister has been hidden here by me. I knew it from the first day they came here."
"Then what are you..." Lin Qi originally wanted to ask He Mei why he didn't say it earlier, but when he met her mocking eyes, he suddenly stopped.
He Mei looked cold, "If you don't come today, I won't tell anyone about it."
Lin Qi did not miss the resentment and hatred in He Mei's eyes.
She couldn't even think about how the evil cultivator team was not far away. How did He Mei avoid being discovered under their noses?
He took the jade sign and sent a message to Jiang Yue and Uncle Qian.
With a sigh of relief in her chest, she turned around and met He Mei's unusually calm eyes.
He Mei: "I know you have many questions in your mind now, but we need to leave this place first."
Lin Qi also looked at her steadily, "I still need to guard the Demon Emperor's Tomb to deal with these evil cultivators."
She stated her thoughts calmly.
He Mei still looked at Lin Qi with a mocking expression.
Lin Qi's expression didn't change much, "Can you take your sister with you?"
Hemei shook his head, "The cave has a protective formation. Once we leave the cave, our auras cannot be concealed. You take Nan Nan away first, and I will stay here."
"My cultivation is not strong enough to sneak away from the Nascent Soul Evil Cultivator silently."
If she had taken the person away quietly, she would not have asked Lin Qi for help.
Lin Qi also understood that He Mei was wary of the evil cultivator a hundred meters away.
"Wait until I finish seeing your sister off and pick you up again!"
Hemei refused, "No, I'll stay in the cave and leave tomorrow."
Seeing Lin Qi looking at him with disapproval, He Mei smiled and said, "Tonight all the evil cultivators will attack the Demon Emperor's Tomb. You don't know which place will be more dangerous then?"
Her words sounded reasonable, but Lin Qi didn't believe it.
Lin Qi carried her sister He Nan, put on a black invisible cloak, and put He Nan on her shoulders.
As soon as the thunder technique was used, Lin Qi quietly moved away from the cave. He Mei stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the figures of Lin Qi and He Nan gradually disappear before their eyes.
She closed her eyes and counted time silently in her mind.
When Lin Qi took He Nan to the patrol area, something felt wrong.
He Mei didn't look like she would obediently hide from danger, she looked like she was going to die heroically, with no desire to survive in her eyes.
"No!" Lin Qi's intuition told her that it was dangerous.
She thought for a while, pulled out the Qingluan sword, put He Nan on the sword, and put a royal talisman seal on it.
Turn around and carry the small wooden sword back to the cave.
She used her lightning skills to the limit, suppressing her aura, and was careful not to be discovered by evil cultivators.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he bumped into He Mei who came out. Both of them had frozen expressions.
There was shock and anger in Hemei's eyes, "Why are you back?! Where is Nannan?!"
Lin Qi looked at her with cold eyes, "Did you come out to deliberately alarm the evil cultivators so that they could attack the people at the Demon Emperor's Tomb in advance?"
Hemei's face was a little pale, and her thin body looked even thinner in the night.
"right!"
Her voice when she answered was so soft that it was almost swallowed by the wind.
Lin Qi's eyes turned cold, "You have done all this and still want your sister to live?"
He Mei straightened his neck and said without further explanation, "You should leave quickly. The evil cultivator will be here soon. If you take one step too late, you will die here."
After saying that, she stood at the door with her eyes closed, as if waiting for death to come.
Lin Qi couldn't figure out what He Mei was thinking, but he wouldn't go as she wished.
She threw out a pair of mixed jade bracelets from her arms, instantly trapping He Mei.
