Ho Ming turned back, and it was Zhao Rui and the Bai brothers.
When the other junior disciples saw that it was her, they looked down and kept quiet.
"Lin Fan helped us fearlessly even when he was just a hunter. Why would he be any different now?"
Zhao Rui said as she scanned across all the junior disciples.
"We... er..."
Someone stepped forward.
Piak!
Piak!
Piak!

Before they could finish talking, Bai Ti gave them a big tight p across the face.
"That will teach you a lesson for lying! I would be dead if it wasn''t for Lin Fan," Bai Ti said as he stared at the junior disciples.
They lowered their heads, looked down in shame and had their hands on their swollen cheeks.
Bai Ti spat on the ground, further showing his displeasure.
"Bai Ti, enough!" Bai Qiao stopped his brother and turned to the junior disciples.
"What''s the situation inside right now?" he asked.
The junior disciples then briefed them on what had happened.
After the briefing ended, Bai Qiao looked at Zhao Rui, waiting for her instructions.
Zhao Ruimunicated with Zhao Qing Ying using her jade pendant.
And the reply was to go in with ten senior disciples.
The other ten should follow behind just in case.
So, Zhao Rui, Bai brothers, Ho Ming and nine other senior disciples went back into the cave.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Fan got bored waiting, and he started to inspect the small toad statue.
After trying very hard to figure out what it did and getting no results.
He decided to try and inject his Qi into it.
When he did so, something connected with him from within.
He could mentally see what was inside the small toad statue.
It was a storage artifact!
A rare and useful one for him.
He could now recycle as much as he wanted.
On top of that, his hammers could be well hidden inside the small toad statue.
He would no longer be caught in the situation where his hammers weren''t with him.
Lin Fan quickly tried taking out the money that was in the statue.
He injected his Qi and thought about it.
Whoosh.
The money appeared next to the statue.
Lin Fan decided to try to put his hammers into the statue.
First, he ced the hammers next to the statue.
Next, he injected his Qi, and with a white glow, the statue took in the hammers with a whoosh.
He tried to take the hammers out and it worked like it did with the money.
By the time he was done experimenting, Zhao Rui and the rest came.
"Senior martial sister," Lin Fan sped his hands and bowed.
She acknowledged him with a nod and said, "Well done. But we must move on, before the Dark Lotus sect members get away."
They continued further into the cave.
After walking through another narrow tunnel, they reached another chamber.
It was around fifty meters wide, and its ceiling was about twenty meters high.
Inside, it was covered with lots of stctites and stgmites.
They formed huge pirs, making the chamber like a maze.
The ming torches hanging on the pirs, with their mes, made the dancing shadows of the pirs seem like they were alive.
"Stay alert and be careful," Zhao Rui warned as she drew out her sword.
The others followed suit.
Lin Fan gripped his hammers tightly.
With this environment, it was perfect for an ambush, he thought.
He immediately activated his Rabbit''s Hearing ability.
The mes burning and swaying came into his ears first.
Then the dripping of the water from the cave ceiling.
And then he heard it.
Heartbeat pounding fast with a strange growl, going ''gee''.
There were things waiting for them ahead.
"Wait..." Lin Fan whispered.@@novelbin@@
He turned to Zhao Rui and pointed at the pirs where they were hiding.
Zhao Rui then dispatched the other disciples to a respective pir.
Then they slowly moved forward.
When they got near enough, Zhao Rui gave the order, "Now!"
The Qing Feng sect disciples leaped and went behind the pirs.
It caught those who were hiding by surprise.
"What the?"
Bai Ti had thrust his sword with a twirling wind strike, but a hand had held onto his sword.
He looked up and saw a creature about his height, covered in white fur and standing on its hind legs.
It had a pale white face that looked like an ape, and its eyes were fully ck.
Mountain Ghost!
Bai Ti had always thought Mountain Ghost was just an old man''s tale before he saw it.
But right now, he was in front of one and confronting it.
The mountain ghost then punched at Bai Ti, sending him tumbling across the wet and slippery ground.
"Damn you!"
Bai Ti stood up and had blooding down the side of his lips.
The same thing happened for the other senior disciples, except for Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan leaped behind the pir, a familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent iing!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 130 vengeance points.]
He quickly leaped away again when he saw the vengeance points.
This was going to be a tough fight.
"Gee..."
The mountain ghost in front of him growled at him with that weird sound.
Seeing that the mountain ghost had fur, Lin Fan lunged in with a Yang Smash to its head.
Whoosh.
It ducked to the side, but Lin Fan''s other hammer came at it.
Dang!
The mountain ghost instinctively used its hand and pushed Lin Fan away.
Lin Fan took this chance and aimed the Yang Smash at the hand.
Thud!
The smashnded and the mountain ghost cried out in pain.
"Gee!"
It was not the end, the fur caught the mes and started burning.
This made the mountain ghost thrash its hands around.
Trying to prevent Lin Fan froming near it.
The mountain ghost quickly ran over to a puddle of water and put its arms into it.
Sizzle.
It helped in putting out the mes on its fur.
These creatures were intelligent, Lin Fan observed what it did and thought.
But it was no time to investigate further.
Lin Fan injected his Qi into his hammer and with the Yang Smash, shot a me at the mountain ghost.
Its face lit up into a bright orange when the me came near.
The mountain ghost, in the nick of time, rolled and dodged the me.
Lin Fan was waiting, and he lunged at it with his Yin Yang Cross Smash.
