Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 181 The Spirit Clan's Sacred Artifact

Suddenly, amidst the chaos, a mysterious figure shrouded in a black robe silently and stealthily circled behind Huan Yuechu.

He gripped his gleaming weapon tightly and thrust it at the unsuspecting Huan Yuechu with lightning speed!

Just as the deadly weapon was about to mercilessly pierce Huan Yuechu's body.

At this critical moment, a lithe figure pounced like lightning, unhesitatingly using his own body to block the vicious attack!

It turned out that Mu Yang, who had been silently protecting Huan Yuechu all along, stepped forward.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and Mu Yang let out a painful groan.

But he still gritted his teeth and gripped the opponent's weapon tightly, not giving him any further chance to harm Huan Yuechu.

Huan Yuechu turned around abruptly after hearing the noise. When she saw that Mu Yang was seriously injured while saving her, her anger was instantly ignited!

A powerful, chilling force surged from her body, her eyes flashed with furious flames, and with a sharp cry, her entire body radiated a dazzling light.

She flashed forward, rushing towards the group of black-robed men like an arrow released from a bow, her speed so fast that she was almost invisible.

In the blink of an eye, Huan Yuechu had broken through the black-robed man's defenses and was heading straight for the leader.

A sharp longsword had appeared in her hand without her noticing, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

With a flick of her arm, a sharp sword aura shot out, slashing straight at the black-robed leader.

The black-robed leader clearly hadn't expected Huan Yuechu to be so fierce. He couldn't dodge in time and could only watch helplessly as the sword energy came crashing down on him.

With a soft "plop," the black-robed leader's head flew off, and blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing into the air and forming a cloud of blood mist.

Then, Huan Yuechu flashed and ran swiftly to Mu Yang's side like lightning.

With a face full of concern, she asked anxiously, "Muyang, are you badly injured? Don't push yourself!"

Mu Yang's face was as pale as paper, but he still managed to force a weak smile and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'm in great shape. This little injury is nothing. With my body of steel, I'll recover quickly."

However, Huan Yuechu looked at him with suspicion, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"How could you possibly be alright? You're already injured like this, and you're still being stubborn."

At that moment, the men in black robes who had been so aggressive suddenly fell into chaos upon seeing their leader killed in an instant.

Fear spread like a plague among the crowd, and they could no longer care about anything else, scattering and fleeing like stray dogs.

Huan Yuechu had no time to chase after the deserters; all her attention was focused on Mu Yang.

She stretched out her jade-like hand, exerting a slight force in her palm, and a gentle and warm internal energy flowed continuously into Mu Yang's body, helping him heal his injuries.

"You must never take such risks again!"

Meanwhile, the other men in black robes watched as their leader was so easily and cruelly killed.

They were all terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably. The fear in their hearts completely robbed them of the courage and will to continue fighting.

Meanwhile, Su Jinyan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the moment and unleashed his special skill with a loud shout.

He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Brilliant rays of light flew from his hands, rapidly weaving into a massive net of light that trapped all the panicked men in black robes within it.

For a moment, the man in black robes struggled left and right, trying to break free from the light net's restraints, but all his efforts were in vain.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily escaping the danger.

However, before everyone could even feel relieved, they suddenly discovered that Mingzhu, who had always been by their side, had disappeared!

At the same time, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, becoming gloomy and terrifying, with gusts of cold wind blowing, making people's hair stand on end.

Everyone was immediately anxious and began frantically searching for the whereabouts of the pearl.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the observant Huan Yuechu suddenly noticed a faint dark pattern on the ground beneath her feet.

The dark patterns emitted a faint light, seemingly echoing the light emanating from the pearl.

Huan Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that this was likely a clue left by Mingzhu.

She thought to herself, "Could it be that Mingzhu deliberately lured these dangers away to protect us?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly admire Mingzhu's courage and resourcefulness.

So the group followed the direction indicated by the dark markings.

Along the way, they encountered all sorts of bizarre traps and obstacles, but they overcame them one by one with their tenacious perseverance and outstanding martial arts skills.

Finally, after a thrilling and perilous battle...

They successfully found the missing pearl and completely defeated the aggressive and vicious enemy.

Thus, this life-or-death crisis was finally resolved.

Then, guided by the little girl's faint and extremely weak sensory abilities, which were like a candle flame in the wind.

They cautiously made their way forward, eventually arriving at a place that seemed rather suspicious at first glance.

The surroundings were quiet and still, with only the rustling sound of a gentle breeze rustling through the treetops.

The little girl stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the mysterious valley shrouded in layers of clouds in the distance, and said softly.

"I can sense that the old site should be in that direction."

Her voice was clear and firm, which made people trust her judgment more.

So the three quickened their pace and followed the little girl closely toward the valley.

They hadn't walked far before they entered the valley.

A thin layer of mist filled the valley, making visibility somewhat blurry.

But in the distance, one can vaguely see the ruins of an ancient building standing in the distance.

The site was once vast, though now only ruins remain.

But you can still feel its former glory and solemnity from those mottled walls and broken stone pillars.

The little girl nimbly moved through the ruins, carefully searching every corner.

Finally, in a corner made up of a pile of rubble, she discovered an unusual light—a light that emitted a soft halo.

Following the light, one could see a sacred object radiating a soft glow lying there quietly.

The surface of the sacred object is engraved with exquisite patterns and shimmers with a mysterious light, as if it contains endless power.

The little girl walked forward with great joy and gently reached out her hand to the sacred object.
