"We don't know the details either, but there must be some powerful force controlling her from behind. But rest assured, the Jiang Family has the backing of the state, and the state would never let anything happen to them."

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded. Indeed, the Jiang Family was quite useful to the state, so how could anything happen to them?

However, who knows? It's entirely possible that someone might covet the Jiang Family's wealth and do something about it.

Moreover, it was possible that her mother was secretly being controlled. Finding the person controlling her would be extremely difficult, even if one had a hundred times the power of the opponent.

Just as the two were chatting happily, Xiaoyadan ran in directly.

"Something's wrong, something's happened, big brother has fired a distress flare." Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned. A distress flare?

"Even he can't handle it?" The old man also froze, wondering what kind of situation it could be. After all, Luo Chao had reached quite a level of cultivation. Even he couldn't handle it?

"Iron Egg, take Xiaoyadan and five or six other villagers to see what's going on."

Five or six villagers? Xiaoyadan was stunned. Big brother is much more capable than five or six villagers. Could they really manage by going?

"Yes, can five or six people really manage?" Iron Bull hesitated and asked.

He had never fought Luo Chao, but even without fighting, he could clearly feel that he was definitely not a match for Xiaoyadan's elder brother.

He couldn't even beat Xiaoyadan, let alone Xiaoyadan's elder brother.

"The chances of something happening to Luo Chao are small, it's more likely something happened to Chen Xiaoqi. I need to go too." Jiang Yuanyuan urgently exclaimed, she definitely had to go. How could she not?

"You can't go." The old man shook his head and refused. Their target might even be Jiang Yuanyuan. Chen Xiaoqi might just be a bait.

Moreover, they captured Chen Xiaoqi so quickly, it seems they were specifically staking out this place.

"I must go. Chen Xiaoqi is my best friend, no matter what happens, I have to find her." Even if it means risking my life.

The old man was stunned. What a wonderful bond. Even willing to give up life, this kid is lucky to have met such a good person.

"Fine, you can go, but I'll protect you in the shadows." The old man stood up, having not moved his body in a long time. He was curious about who this kid really was.

After the flare was fired, Long Li was taken aback. Did they locate the position so quickly? But even if they did, so what?

The caves on their side are interconnected, one might be able to hide inside for a while.

As long as enough time passes, he could be safe. It's just unfortunate that he can't touch this woman in front of him. Biting his teeth, he refused to look at Chen Xiaoqi, instead, he directly placed her in a wooden coffin.

This wooden coffin was found nearby, he didn't know whose it was, there was a skeleton inside, no trace of flesh. The inside of the coffin was very clean.

Chen Xiaoqi was thrown inside, due to still being unconscious, she didn't react at all. Carrying the coffin, Long Li headed deeper into the cave.

"Is it from here?" After a few dozen minutes, Luo Chao arrived in front of this cave. A coffin nearby the cave entrance was gone.

It was precisely because of the coffin's disappearance that his expression changed. Others didn't know what these coffins were, but he did.

These coffins were toxic. Once placed inside, survival was slim. Even if rescued early on, it would be the same.

"Luo Chao, how is Chen Xiaoqi?" Jiang Yuanyuan saw Luo Chao and at that moment felt hatred towards this man. Why didn't he follow her advice and chase after earlier? Now Xiaoqi was in such a predicament.

The old man looked around and was suddenly stunned.

"That thing is missing?"

Seeing the old man's nervousness, Luo Chao nodded helplessly, that thing was indeed missing.

"That thing?" Jiang Yuanyuan was very curious, what were these two stalling about, speaking things she couldn't understand.

Despite this, she felt an uneasy sense of foreboding. Xiaoqi, she wouldn't be in trouble, would she?

"That coffin is a torture device, ordinary people don't have the power to open it, there's poison inside, anyone who enters..." Luo Chao started speaking slowly, his pace slowing, reluctant to continue.

Jiang Yuanyuan froze, it was like this. Was there really no saving her? To know Chen Xiaoqi was so young, she still had someone she loved.

She hadn't even embraced her loved one, and now she was going to die? It was hard to accept.

"Is there really no hope for salvation?" Xiaoyadan curiously asked, seeing big brother and the old man as god-like, believing nothing could be difficult for them.

But now both seemed to be pondering something.

"There's no ready-made solution, but we should quickly pursue to save her, the sooner we rescue her, the better the hope."

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, she wanted to know why these things were placed in the cave, why there were no protective measures, but for now, saving lives was paramount.

Five or six villagers lit torches and they all went inside. The caves were numerous, even villagers couldn't know them completely.

"Maybe Xiaoqi wasn't placed there." Jiang Yuanyuan comforted herself and followed them in. The torches were bright, revealing the scene inside.

Long Li entered for an unknown time and finally arrived at a wooden house. The wooden house was beautiful despite accumulating much dust.

The coffin was set down as the sound of bells rang from somewhere.

"Such a child, placing bells here. But since there's a place to live, I'll hide here for a while."

Long Li opened the coffin and poured out the person inside. But immediately, he was stunned; the person inside seemed as dead.

Chen Xiaoqi lay unconscious, appearing divine, almost like a sleeping beauty.

Long Li felt his heart move seeing her, forgetting even that he already...
