However, since she saw that statue...
Why was there no incident?
Clearly, the cave was only a hundred ters deep, so why did it take her a whole hour to co out?
What exactly did she do inside?
In Su Chen's mind, countless questions arose.
Although Su Chen couldn't quite figure it out,
he knew that Gu Yue had taken the statue from the cave.
This ti, he returned to Huangshan Village to study the village's curse.
And he also speculated that the curse of Huangshan Village should be related to that statue.
Once Gu Yue took the statue, he might never uncover the secret behind the curse of Huangshan Village.
Moreover, since Gu Yue could retreat safely.
It suggests that...
Gu Yue might know sothing about the statue.
Thinking of this, Su Chen suddenly called out to Gu Yue.
"Miss Gu Yue, please wait."
"Sothing wrong?" Gu Yue looked at Su Chen, a hint of caution in her eyes.
Su Chen's gaze fell on the bundle behind Gu Yue, "I rember when Miss Gu Yue entered the cave, you didn't have a bundle on you. But now you do. Did Miss Gu Yue find so treasure in the cave?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's expression slightly changed, but she quickly returned to normal, "It's not any treasure, just a statue. I found it pretty, so I brought it out."
"Oh? Then could Miss Gu Yue describe what that statue looks like, to let us broaden our horizons?" Su Chen said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes were on Gu Yue.
They seed very interested in the statue Gu Yue ntioned.
"What if I refuse?" Gu Yue's expression turned cold.
"Or Miss Gu Yue could show it to us," Su Chen continued.
"You want to see the statue?" Gu Yue's pupils slightly contracted.
"Of course, if Miss Gu Yue is unwilling, then forget it," Su Chen said indifferently.
"It's the Calamity, you brought the Calamity out, hurry, put it back, you'll kill everyone!" i Luo suddenly shouted at Gu Yue.
"We will never let you take the Calamity away!" The people of Huangshan Village blocked Gu Yue's way.
Gu Yue removed the Half Moon Curved Saber from her waist, pulling it with both hands, turning it into two swords. She coldly shouted, "Those who block , die! Move aside!"
"If you put the Calamity back, we'll let you pass!" The people of Huangshan Village firmly declared.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then don't bla for being rude!" Gu Yue wielded the two curved sabers and rushed toward several villagers of Huangshan Village.
"Quick, back down!"
Su Chen had never seen Gu Yue's strength.
However, his intuition told him she was definitely not soone the villagers could hold back.
But the villagers of Huangshan Village wouldn't listen to Su Chen's advice.
One by one, they drew their daggers and pulled their bowstrings, aiming at Gu Yue.
Swish swish!
The arrows flew toward Gu Yue.
Unfortunately, Gu Yue was too fast, and the arrows couldn't hit her at all.
Bang!
Gu Yue kicked one of the villagers, sending him flying.
Then, she slamd her elbow into another villager's chest, making them fly backward.
The villagers of Huangshan Village were utterly defeated.
Yet, they still refused to clear the way.
Even when they fell to the ground,
they still clung to Gu Yue's leg.
A murderous intent flashed across Gu Yue's face.
Earlier, she had shown rcy.
She hadn't intended to kill.
But if these people really insisted on stopping her,
then she wouldn't mind killing them.
Seeing the person clinging to her leg refusing to let go,
a cold glint flickered in Gu Yue's eyes.
She raised the Half Moon Curved Saber and slashed toward that person's hand.
Clank!
A soft sound echoed.
The Half Moon Curved Saber seed to be deflected by a hard object, veering off to strike the ground.
However, it still cut into that person's shoulder.
Blood imdiately flowed out.
"Spare them when you can." The one who intervened was Ban Cun.
He used a pebble to bounce Gu Yue's curved saber slightly off course.
Otherwise, that villager's arm would have certainly been chopped off.
Gu Yue looked at Ban Cun, coldly saying, "I warned you, those who block , die!"
"Miss Gu Yue, they're not wrong, the item you carry belongs to Huangshan Village. Even if you want to take it, you should at least show it to us!" Ban Cun replied.
"Even so, it has nothing to do with you!" Gu Yue snorted softly.
Upon hearing this, Ban Cun squinted his eyes, then looked at i Luo, who was also on the ground, "Young lady, if I help retrieve that item for you, can it make up for the mistake of killing your mount?"
"Yes!" i Luo imdiately nodded.
i Luo had seen Ban Cun's strength.
Ban Cun nodded, then turned back to Gu Yue, saying, "Sorry, Miss Gu Yue, this now concerns ."
"Those who block , die!" Gu Yue looked at Ban Cun with murderous eyes.
"Many have wanted to kill , but they all failed." Ban Cun replied confidently.
Although he was slightly injured in his earlier scuffle with Su Chen,
the impact wasn't significant.
Having said that, Ban Cun charged toward Gu Yue.
He reached out, aiming for the bundle on Gu Yue's back.
Gu Yue kicked away the villager clinging to her ankle, then raised her Half Moon Curved Saber and attacked Ban Cun.
As the two clashed,
Su Chen realized that he had underestimated this woman's strength.
Before, he always thought this woman was at most an Interdiate or Advanced level of the Extraordinary Realm.
But now watching her duel with Ban Cun,
it's clear, her strength is undoubtedly at the Saint Realm!
Previously, Su Chen suspected Gu Yue beca Zhu Shao's bodyguard
because she had ulterior motives.
Now, it's more certain.
This Gu Yue, it should be about the curse of Huangshan Village.
Moreover, she seems immune to the curse!
In just a few dozen seconds, the two exchanged hundreds of moves.
It's clear, though Gu Yue's strength is at the Saint Realm,
she is slightly inferior to Ban Cun.
After exchanging more than a thousand moves, Gu Yue's Half Moon Curved Saber was knocked out of her hand by Ban Cun.
"Miss Gu Yue, I don't want to be your enemy, but I promised that young lady to retrieve what belongs to Huangshan Village. If you hand it over, I won't trouble you." Ban Cun stood with arms folded.
Although he had the upper hand, he did not attack.
He displayed a true expert's deanor.
"Trouble ? With you?" A cold smile appeared on Gu Yue's face.
Then, she reached out for her Half Moon Curved Saber that had been knocked away.
Quite unexpectedly, the two curved sabers flew back as if attracted by a magnet, landing directly in Gu Yue's hands.
