Chapter 528: Into the Skirt Again!

Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Into the Skirt Again!

Within the fiercely burning Sky Cave,

a hellish scene corresponded to everyone’s terrified faces.

It had been decades since they had faced such a devastating blow.

The residents felt as though the heavens themselves were collapsing.

The little girl’s mother desperately tried to come forward to rescue her,

but was brutally beaten until she curled up on the ground, unable to move.

The little girl, suspended in mid-air, tugged at everyone’s heart.

She was also regarded as the last hope.

After all, if the Holy Maiden did not appear, she would undoubtedly die.

"Holy Maiden, I’m giving you five more minutes to think it over. If you still refuse to come out by then, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Moreover, I assure you, every five minutes I will throw down one person until you show up!"

The threatening voice of Beitiao Qian Naizi echoed within the vast Sky Cave.

Many people in the plaza of Holy Maiden Hall had already begun to sob.

In the light of the fire, they could not see the darkness outside.

Similarly, they could not see any glimmer of survival.

"Swoosh..."

A white shadow swiftly moved forward.

Soundlessly, it made its way towards the Holy Maiden Hall using cover.

Ni Chang’s beautiful eyes, filled with hatred, watched every movement ahead.

Finally, she stopped behind a low wall two hundred meters away from Holy Maiden Hall.

Beyond that lay a terrain completely exposed.

She could only observe the situation from here.

Just as Ni Chang focused all her attention ahead,

a familiar voice suddenly came from beneath her feet.

"Holy Maiden, long time no see!"

This voice, slightly louder than a mosquito’s, lingered in Ni Chang’s ears like thunder,

frightening her to instinctively dodge to the side.

Just at the spot she had just crouched, there was indeed a person lying down.

However, his body was completely enveloped by rocks, only his eyes exposed.

If one did not look carefully, they would not notice his presence at all.

"How is it you!"

Ni Chang might not see clearly, but the voice was all too familiar.

She instinctively lowered her skirt as her face turned red,

because just now, her crouching position was directly in front of his eyes.

"If not me, who else could it be?"

Lin Fan shifted the rocks off him and then sat up smiling.

Based on years of battle experience, he could assert.

that if Ni Chang wanted to launch a surprise attack, this angle was absolutely perfect.

So he had come here in advance to hide, and it had indeed allowed him to spot his prey.

Only, he hadn’t expected that, in a moment of carelessness, he ended up under her skirt again.

This scene was somewhat reminiscent of their first encounter.

"What are you doing here?"

Ni Chang dared not meet Lin Fan’s eyes.

She wouldn’t admit that, during the time they were apart,

every midnight when she woke from a dream, she would see this face.

Especially the red blood sword he had left behind,

which had become the object of her reminiscence.

But all these feelings, she could only bury deep inside her heart.

"I obviously came to save you. Seeing that you’re not seriously hurt makes me relieved,"

Lin Fan observed Ni Chang.

Although injured, her condition was not too severe.

The impact on her combat abilities was also not too significant.

"This is a matter of the Cave of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with you, please leave immediately,"

Ni Chang’s face was cold.

She did not want to owe any favors, nor did she want Lin Fan to risk his life for her.

"Hey, why do you take kindness for granted? I risk my life to save you, and yet you say it has nothing to do with me?"

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at the icy Ni Chang.

Her coldness was completely different from Shangguan Min Yue’s naiveté.

The fiery heat within her was just being suppressed by her willpower.

The look she had just given him was unmistakably intense.

But she pretended to be calm.

"I am the Saintess of the Cave of Heaven. It is my duty to defend this place. Your staying here will only increase the injuries. Hurry up and take that drag with you and leave; I will handle everything!"

Ni Chang remained as cold as frost.

While speaking, she did not even glance at Lin Fan’s reactions.

"If you can handle everything, then how do you plan to handle it?"

Lin Fan naturally saw the weakness inside Ni Chang.

With a smile, he stroked his chin, playfully blinking.

"That has nothing to do with you."

Lin Fan’s retort left Ni Chang momentarily at a loss for words.

Because till now, she had no idea what to do.

"If you haven’t thought of anything, just say so, why lie? That’s not your forte, but I do have an idea,"

Lin Fan naturally saw through her apprehension.

He didn’t need her to plead; he just voiced his plan.

"I roughly counted. There are sixty-seven guards in the square. If you can take care of twenty people on your right, I can assure you that the remaining forty-seven will be eliminated in two minutes. After rescuing the people outside the sanctuary, we can rush into the Holy Maiden Hall and save those hiding there."

"No, that kind of charge will harm the villagers!"

To his surprise, Ni Chang didn’t even think before she outright refused.

"As long as we are fast enough, they should not be able to kill everyone in that short time. There are nearly five hundred people in the square now; even if they all act at once, only about a tenth can be killed, which is definitely the best solution."

Lin Fan squinted his eyes.

Many of those guards were in the crowd.

To kill them all while avoiding the hostages would indeed be an exceptionally troublesome matter.

"Don’t say a tenth; even one percent is absolutely unacceptable to me. My duty is to protect each and every one of them, and all the children are now locked in the Holy Maiden Hall. If anything goes wrong, they will all be executed!"

Ni Chang rejected the idea outright without any hesitation.

After all, she really couldn’t gamble with the lives of dozens of people.

Similarly, those children are also the future of the Cave of Heaven.

"Protecting everyone is the right thing, but that requires being within our capabilities; otherwise, any other rescue plan is foolish talk. The enemy has said they will throw one every five minutes. If you can’t think of another way, they will start, but I can assure you that even if you go out, the enemy will definitely not spare those people, and in the end, you lose more than you gain!"

Lin Fan could see that Ni Chang was already unable to resist the threats.

But going out like that was nothing but walking into a trap, meaningless.

"If the ones kidnapped were your woman or your child, could you still say such cold-hearted things?"

Ni Chang suddenly looked straight at Lin Fan.

As a Saintess, everyone inside the Cave of Heaven was like her own kin.

She couldn’t just stand by and watch them be harmed.

"I..."

This counter-question left Lin Fan speechless.

He, who had always been fighting abroad, had indeed never faced such a tough situation.

Looking at Ni Chang with tears filling her eyes,

he also did not know what was best to do.

At this moment, the voice of Beitiao Qian Naizi once again came through.

"Five minutes are up, Saintess; you are still not willing to come out, right? Then, this little girl will die because of you!"
