Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Bai Ti helped the other senior disciples after they were done recuperating their Qi.
With their assistance, the other mountain ghosts were finished off much more easily.
After they were done, the senior disciples had to catch their breath and quickly tended to their wounds.
They took whatever recovery pills they had on them.
But three of them were too heavily injured and had to evacuate back outside.
That leaves only nine of them, including Lin Fan and Ho Ming.
"We move off when we are ready," Zhao Rui said as she tied a bandage to her forearm.
The rest of the disciples nodded their heads in silence.
Things didn't go as planned.
Their years of experience told them it was only going to get worse.
After a few monts of rest, it was ti for them to go in further.
This ti they ca upon a narrow tunnel again, and when they reached the other end, there were three routes for them to go.
"So, which way should we go?" one of the disciples asked.
Zhao Rui would have wanted to go through these three routes with all of them, together, one by one.
But ti was not on her side.
The Dark Lotus sect followers might have slipped away from so other exit by then.
After so thoughts she made her decision, and said, "We separate into groups of three.
"Gu follow and Shi, we check the route on the right.
"Bai Qiao, Hun, and Yuan, go forth through the middle route.
"Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Bai Ti, check the tunnel on the left."
Zhao Rui decided to put Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Bai Ti together.
She saw how they cooperated with each other earlier on.
Better to put Bai Ti with them, she thought.
His fiery temper might cause trouble if he was with the others.
But if he was with her and Bai Qiao, the group would be too lopsided.
This was the best arrangent she could think of.
Lin Fan had no objection to it, he nodded his head and stepped into the opening on the left.
"Wait for . Don't get too anxious to kill off them bastards," Bai Ti grunted as he followed.
Ho Ming also quickly followed suit.
The route was cool at first, but as they went further in, it started to feel warm.
Lin Fan suddenly raised his hands and motioned them to stop.
He then knelt down and took a peek out of the opening.
It was a huge open chamber, at least hundred ters wide.
And in the middle of it was a huge Alchemy Furnace, at least five ters tall and wide.
It was still burning bright, giving out all the heat.
By the side there were many cages, and inside the cages were n, won, and kids.
A thought went through Lin Fan's mind that made him want to puke.
He activated his Rabbit's Hearing ability and listened.
Other than the sounds of the flas burning and the sobbing of the imprisoned, there was nothing unusual.
"Co, let's go," Lin Fan said.
When Ho Ming and Bai Ti saw what was inside the chamber, they cursed out loud.
"These Dark Lotus sect shall pay for this," Bai Ti gritted his teeth and held up his sword in frustration.
"Ho Ming, don't," Lin Fan stopped Ho Ming when he saw him trying to release the imprisoned.
"But why? Don't we need to rescue them?" Ho Ming asked.
Lin Fan looked at the imprisoned n and won, so hugging their kids trying to comfort them.
He sighed and said, "We don't know who they are, and it's not beyond the Dark Lotus sect mber to be hiding amongst them. Even if there weren't any, they might be too scared and wouldn't let us leave."
His previous experience with villagers wasn't great.
And Lin Fan expected them to cling onto them if they were freed.
That would be when the Dark Lotus sect strikes.
Ho Ming and Bai Ti nodded.
Clap.
Clap.
Clap.
Suddenly they heard soone clapping.
Lin Fan held his hamrs and scanned around.
"Well done for seeing through our simple ploy."
From the opening where they ca from, a young woman in Qing Feng sect's robes appeared.
She looked at Lin Fan and licked her lips.
Then soone appeared from behind her.
It was Tan Rui.
"Die, Lin Fan!"
He wasted no ti and lunged at Lin Fan.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 150 vengeance points.]
Lin Fan used his hamr and blocked Tan Rui's sword coming at his throat.
Ho Ming and Bai Ti wanted to co and help him, but they were stopped by the young woman.
Dang!
Lin Fan swung his right hamr at Tan Rui's waist but was blocked by his sword.
His left hamr then went at Tan Rui's head.
Tan Rui turned and dodged the hamr, he then made use of his turn to stab Lin Fan with a backhand strike.

Bending down forward, Lin Fan dodged the strike.
He used the montum to roll forward and got so distance away from Tan Rui.
Tan Rui used the Cross Strike, and the slicing X shot at Lin Fan.
With his hamrs in front of him, Lin Fan turned back and faced Tan Rui.
Dang!
His hamrs blocked the slicing wave from the Cross Strike.
"Why won't you just die!" Tan Rui got mad when he saw Lin Fan unscathed.
He lunged at Lin Fan again.
Lin Fan picked up so dirt on the ground and threw it at Tan Rui's eyes.
The dirt got into Tan Rui's eyes, and he cried out.
"Damn you!"
Without his vision, Tan Rui slashed around aimlessly, trying to fend off Lin Fan.
Lin Fan threw one of his hamrs at Tan Rui's leg.
Thud!
It hit him and Tan Rui fell down onto the ground.
Lin Fan kicked at Tan Rui's hand, and his sword flew out of his hand.
With his other hamr, Lin Fan smashed down at Tan Rui's head.
Plop.
Tan Rui turned his neck in the nick of ti and the hamr missed by an inch.
He kicked at Lin Fan but was grabbed by him.
With Tan Rui's leg in his hand, Lin Fan dragged him along to the burning Alchemy Furnace.
He couldn't think of any other befitting ending for soone like Tan Rui.
When he pulled Tan Rui up by his legs and tried to put him into the furnace.
Tan Rui struggled and tried to break free.
But his hands hit the furnace and Lin Fan could hear the sizzling sound as the hands were burnt.
"Argh!" Tan Rui scread out in pain.
The young woman heard Tan Rui's scream, and she ca over to help.
