Chapter 92 Rescue

Under the protection of the Tiger Crystal Beast, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue's confidence increased. They realized that with the fierce fighting outside, it was the best time for them to take action. With the support of the Tiger Crystal Beast, they no longer felt isolated and helpless, but dared to actively participate in the situation and search for the legendary treasure of Beiya Cave.

Although their cultivation was not outstanding among the monks, they did not intend to face the opponent directly with force. Instead, they decided to take advantage of the chaotic situation and fish in troubled waters to find the treasure of Beiya Cave. For them, this was a rare opportunity and a moment to test their wisdom and courage.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue exchanged glances in tacit understanding, confirming each other's determination and confidence. They decided to work together to explore the mysteries of Beiya Cave and gain more opportunities and resources for themselves.

They walked along the winding mountain road, always keeping alert and carefully avoiding the battle area outside. They dared not be careless or slack off, because they knew that only by seizing the opportunity could they gain more.

In the process of moving forward, they encountered many obstacles and difficulties, but they kept their faith and moved forward firmly. They supported and encouraged each other, and moved forward courageously despite the hardships and difficulties.

Lu Xiuyuan searched carefully along the cliff where the waterfall was located until he found some subtle traces. Although these traces were faint, they were extremely conspicuous to a cultivator and were enough to attract his attention.

The waterfall in front of us is tall and straight, and the water flows down like silver threads, forming a magnificent landscape. The water is turbulent and powerful, as if thousands of troops are galloping down, which is daunting. At the bottom of the waterfall, a large amount of water flows together to form a wide lake. The lake water is clear and the blue waves are sparkling, reflecting the scenery of the sky, which is beautiful.

Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, focused his mind, and carefully felt the atmosphere around him. He found that the air around the lake was filled with rich spiritual energy, as if the spiritual energy of the entire world was brewing and condensing here. This rich spiritual energy made his mind and spirit refreshed, and he vaguely felt an unprecedented surge of power.

He was surprised to find that this lake seemed to hide a great secret, perhaps it was the location of the treasure of Beiya Cave. He decided to explore further to see if he could find any trace of the treasure.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the clear lake in front of him and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, this lake gathers a lot of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it. I will be careful."

Wen Lingyue looked at him worriedly, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone: "Be careful when you go down alone. The situation underwater is complicated and there may be all kinds of unknown dangers. Try to go and come back as quickly as possible."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will be careful. You wait here for me, I will return as soon as possible."

Wen Lingyue nodded, her eyes full of expectation and worry: "Okay, you must pay attention to safety."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her deeply, then turned around and stepped into the lake. He felt the cool water flowing around his body, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the lake.

Wen Lingyue stood by the lake, looking at Lu Xiuyuan's back, feeling uneasy. She knew she couldn't stop him, so she could only pray silently that he would return safely.

The lake water rippled around Lu Xiuyuan's body, and he slowly dived to the bottom of the lake. The underwater world was full of unknowns and mysteries, and his heart was full of curiosity and expectation.

"I hope he is safe." Wen Lingyue prayed silently and watched him leave.

Lu Xiuyuan stepped into the lake carefully, feeling the water gently brushing against his skin, as if guiding him in the direction of travel. He gradually went deeper into the center of the lake, feeling the rich spiritual energy around him, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement.

As he went deeper, a dark scene gradually appeared in front of Lu Xiuyuan's eyes. There were dense aquatic plants growing under the water, and fish were swimming among them from time to time. The rocks at the bottom of the lake were covered with moss, which looked ancient and mysterious.

Wherever Lu Xiuyuan looked, he found something unusual. Some of the stones were gleaming, as if they were cast with some kind of spell, hiding some secret. He decided to get closer and take a closer look.

He looked at it carefully, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found a sunken stone with some ancient runes engraved on it. These runes seemed to be closely related to the spirit, emitting a mysterious power.

Lu Xiuyuan stared at the mysterious symbols protruding from the rocks at the bottom of the lake. These symbols seemed to exude an ancient atmosphere, which made people feel awe. He used his body to feel the flow of spiritual energy, and every trace of spiritual energy was clearly visible in his perception.

As he sensed, he found that all the spiritual energy was gathering in one place, and that direction was exactly above the cliff. This made Lu Xiuyuan feel very strange, and he couldn't help thinking: The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has already gathered in this lake, why is it being transported to the top of the cliff?

Behind the waterfall on the cliff, there is more and more powerful spiritual energy. This discovery made Lu Xiuyuan curious, and he decided to explore to see if there is any secret hidden behind the waterfall.

He swam towards the waterfall, feeling the rushing water around him. Amid the roar of the waterfall, he gradually approached the back of the waterfall. The water rushed around him, but he remained calm and alert, always ready to face possible danger.

Finally, he came to the back of the waterfall, and saw a dazzling scene in front of him. The water rushing down from the waterfall formed a mist that blocked his sight. But he could feel the rich spiritual energy contained in the mist, which made him feel moved, as if he had discovered some important clues.

Lu Xiuyuan decided to take a risk. He took a deep breath, gathered his spiritual power, and condensed it into a transparent body shield. Then, he walked through the mist without hesitation and headed towards the secret depths behind the waterfall.

In the mist, he felt that his body was hit by the water flow and he could hardly stand still, but he did not retreat and moved forward firmly. Under the obstruction of the mist, he could vaguely feel a strong attraction in front of him, as if calling him to explore the truth.

Wen Lingyue waited anxiously by the lake, her eyes fixed on the direction of the waterfall. She knew that Lu Xiuyuan was taking the risk to explore the secrets behind the waterfall, and her heart was filled with worry and expectation. She silently prayed that Lu Xiuyuan would be safe and return soon.

Lu Xiuyuan found that it was really difficult to enter this secret realm relying on his own strength.

So Lu Xiuyuan decided to go and come back quickly and explain the situation to Wen Lingyue at the lakeside first.

So Lu Xiuyuan held his last breath and swam hard to the surface.

When he swam to the surface, he found that Wen Lingyue had disappeared.

Lu Xiuyuan was somewhat surprised and looked around for Wen Lingyue, but there was no trace of her except the rippling water.

"Wen Lingyue! Where are you?" Lu Xiuyuan shouted anxiously, his voice echoing on the water.

There was no response. Feeling nervous, he immediately swam to the lake, hoping to find Wen Lingyue there.

Swimming to the lake, he quickly scanned the surroundings, but still could not find Wen Lingyue. Anxiety surged in his heart, and he realized that things might be more complicated than he thought.

"Wen Lingyue! Where are you?" Lu Xiuyuan shouted again, but still no response.

He realized that Wen Lingyue might have been in danger, or had left for some reason. In either case, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, and had to take action as soon as possible.

He decided to go back to the cave entrance and look for other clues to see if he could find Wen Lingyue's whereabouts. Feeling anxious, he swam quickly towards the direction of the cave entrance.

When he swam to the entrance of the cave, he found that there was no one there. There was no sign of Wen Lingyue, nor anyone else.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a panic, he didn't know what to do now. He was trapped alone in this strange cave, and Wen Lingyue's whereabouts became a mystery. He realized that he had to calm down and find a way to solve the problem.

He decided to go back to the lake and search carefully to see if there were any clues left by Wen Lingyue. At the same time, he also planned to use his spiritual power to try to explore the surrounding situation to see if he could find Wen Lingyue's whereabouts.

His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but Lu Xiuyuan had to keep a clear head and make every effort to find Wen Lingyue and resolve the crisis at hand as soon as possible.

Lu Xiuyuan anxiously searched around the lake, and every moment seemed as long as a year. His heartbeat was so rapid that it almost jumped out of his chest. The lake was sparkling and the breeze was blowing, but it could not calm his inner anxiety.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the water. Lu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he was filled with joy. He jumped into the lake without hesitation and swam quickly to Wen Lingyue's side. Water splashed everywhere, and he used all his strength to quickly hug Wen Lingyue.

Wen Lingyue's body was weak, and her wet clothes clung to her body, outlining her exquisite curves. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible in the water, revealing a heart-stirring beauty. Her face was reflected in the lake, like a blooming flower, delicate and beautiful.

Lu Xiuyuan carried Wen Lingyue to the shore and looked at her anxiously. Her face was pale, and her lips had turned slightly pale due to the cold, but she was still full of tenderness and beauty. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her forehead, trying to drive away the coldness in her body.

"Wen Lingyue, you have to cheer up." Lu Xiuyuan's voice was full of worry and care, "You must hold on, I will help you as soon as possible."

Lu Xiuyuan held his breath nervously, and his hands performed CPR on Wen Lingyue's chest. Each compression was full of strength, and his eyes were fixed on Wen Lingyue's face, hoping to see signs of her waking up.

In this emergency, Lu Xiuyuan didn't think much, but just pressed as hard as he could to wake Wen Lingyue up. His heart was filled with anxiety and worry, and he just hoped that she would wake up as soon as possible.

As time passed, Wen Lingyue finally slowly opened her eyes. Her sight wandered vaguely over Lu Xiuyuan's body, and she suddenly realized that he had his hands on her chest.

"You...what are you doing?" Wen Lingyue's voice trembled a little, and her face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

Lu Xiuyuan quickly explained: "I was just doing CPR on you. You just lost consciousness and I was so anxious..."

When Wen Lingyue heard this, her eyes widened in anger. She felt the pressure on her chest and showed displeasure on her face. She raised her hand without hesitation and slapped Lu Xiuyuan's cheek fiercely.

There was a crisp sound, and a powerful slap hit Lu Xiuyuan's face hard, leaving a clear red mark, and the pain stimulated his cheek.

"You big idiot!" Wen Lingyue roared in frustration, "You actually took the opportunity to touch me!"

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless. He quickly raised his hands and acted innocent. "No! Really not! I just wanted to save you. You were unconscious just now. I just..."

Wen Lingyue gradually calmed down after hearing this. She looked at Lu Xiuyuan with a complicated expression, but also full of gratitude and apology. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I... Thank you, Lu Xiuyuan."

Lu Xiuyuan felt the pain on his face getting more severe. His mind was still in a mess, and he touched his burning cheeks at a loss. The scene in front of him was a little blurry, but he knew he had to explain it as soon as possible to avoid more misunderstandings.

"I...I'm really just saving you!" Lu Xiuyuan stammered. Although his voice was trembling, his eyes were firm and determined.

After hearing Lu Xiuyuan's explanation, Wen Lingyue finally put aside her doubts. She looked at the innocent young man in front of her, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in her heart.

She realized that her behavior just now was a bit extreme, so she coughed twice gently. Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan didn't understand what she meant at all, she reached out and moved Lu Xiuyuan's hands away from her chest.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Wen Lingyue's voice was a little vague, but full of apology, "I thought you were in danger, so I went down to look for you, but I almost drowned."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had never thought that his actions would put Wen Lingyue in danger. He felt a sense of responsibility and apology, but at the same time he was grateful for Wen Lingyue's concern.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry." Lu Xiuyuan's voice was slightly apologetic. He gently held Wen Lingyue's hand, trying to convey his apology and gratitude.

Wen Lingyue felt Lu Xiuyuan's sincerity. She smiled and waved her hand gently, "Don't say anything. Anyway, we are all fine now. But you have to be more careful in the future and don't make me worry anymore."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, feeling warm in his heart for Wen Lingyue's concern. He knew he had to be more cautious and not let her worry about him anymore.
