"Renhao!"
The two let out a shout, and flew swiftly towards the cliff where the sword-wielding woman was.
The woman's pretty eyebrows moved slightly, and her lovely face revealed a look of delight. She turned her gorgeous face to look at them, while her body rose up slightly.
"Master."
She bowed to Xu Mo Zhu first, and then quickly looked at Li Jiaxin saying: "Auntie, why have you come too?"
"Humph, my niece has encountered danger, how could I as her aunt not come?" Li Jiaxin said grumpily, but her eyes looking at Li Renhao were full of affection.
"Thank you, auntie!" Li Renhao said softly.
After a brief greeting, Li Jiaxin noticed the serious injuries on Li Renhao's body, and immediately frowned and asked: "Renhao, what exactly happened in this mountain? You are a top martial arts expert, even if you were alone, as long as it wasn't the Demon Emperor, you should have the ability to protect yourself. How did you get to the point of calling for help?"
Hearing this, the joy on Li Renhao's pretty face from the reunion immediately faded away, replaced by somberness.
Especially when recalling the dangerous experiences of the past few days, it was almost like licking blood from a knife's edge.
Taking a deep breath, she was only willing to recall those memories she didn't really want to revisit, and explained to the two elders: "A few days ago, I led some disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect into the mountains to complete a mission. All the way we were extremely cautious, and whenever we encountered demonic beasts, we always circumvented them. So after entering the mountains, we did not encounter any danger."
"But that day, three Great Demon Kings and more than ten demon spirits suddenly attacked us without warning, and in that battle, all the other Imperial Sword Sect disciples were killed, while I was no match for the three Demon Kings. After using up all my trump cards, I barely managed to escape with my life and fled!"
"However, those demon kings relentlessly pursued me, not only sealing off the entire mountain range, but seemingly also calling for reinforcements from other territories."
Speaking to this point, Li Renhao's pretty face was still filled with lingering fear.
And Li Jiaxin and Xu Mo Zhu, who were listening at the side, also deeply furrowed their brows. From Li Renhao's simple words, they could grasp the perilous dangers she had experienced all along the way.
"It's alright now Renhao, your auntie is here." Li Jiaxin quickly walked over to Li Renhao and gently hugged her, consoling her tenderly: "It's alright, it's alright. But did you manage to figure out the reason why these demonic beasts suddenly went berserk?"
"It was man-made."
Li Renhao took a deep breath and said.
"Man-made?"
Xu Mo Zhu was slightly surprised.
"That's right, by a very terrifying person!" Li Renhao said gravely: "I searched the soul of a lesser demon, and from its memories I learned that this terrifying human directly charged into the cave lair of the Ancient Demon Emperor, not only snatching away some precious medicinal herbs belonging to the Ancient Demon Emperor, but even capturing the Ancient Demon Emperor himself, saying he was going to cook him into soup and drink it. The Ancient Demon Emperor's subordinates were enraged by this, and issued a kill order to find this human, which led to the demons of the mountain going berserk!"
Hearing this, Xu Mo Zhu's and Li Jiaxin's expressions suddenly became animated.
The two looked at each other, then asked Li Renhao in unison: "The Ancient Demon Emperor you mentioned, could it be a turtle?"
"Yes, his original form seems to be a ten thousand year old turtle!" Li Renhao nodded, looking at them puzzledly and asked in surprise: "But Auntie, Master, how did you know this Ancient Demon Emperor was a turtle?"
"Because we've seen that turtle!"
The two smiled wryly at each other, immediately grasping the situation.
The terrifying human that Li Renhao mentioned was likely the one they met on the way here. After all, that habit of cooking demon kings into soup and drinking it was only seen in him!
And that so-called Ancient Demon Emperor, wasn't it precisely the turtle they saw hanging from the tree?
"You've seen it?"
Li Renhao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The two nodded solemnly, and their next words shocked Li Renhao so much that she covered her red lips.
"Not only have we seen that turtle, we've also met the terrifying existence you spoke of!"

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
