Chapter 232 Cleaning up the mess
Escaping from the small stone cave to the right passage, Mo Juren also carried Hu Pinggu, who had fainted on the ground, on his back, and they hurried towards the Mo family's ancestral land.

The last time he came in, Mo Juren knew clearly that this passage was filled with a sinister aura similar to that of tomb poison sand, and there were several stone doors in the middle.

When he arrived at the first stone gate, he saw the five friends from Mengshan who had broken in earlier. All five of them were lying weakly near the stone gate and had fainted together.

I think they entered this passage with the intention of searching for treasure. They probably thought there was some treasure behind the stone door, so they even tried to break open the stone door.

But the longer they stayed in this passage, the more they were invaded by the sinister aura, and finally everyone fell in front of the stone gate.

As the entire space was about to collapse, Mo Juren was too powerless to take care of anything else and could only leave the five of them alone. He used the Nuan Yang Jade to open the stone door in the passage and rushed out with Hu Pinggu on his back.

After walking through the passage to the Mo family's ancestral land, Mo Juren found a place to put down the unconscious Hu Pinggu.

Then I heard a series of dull vibrations behind me, which came from the belly of the mountain and only calmed down after a long time.

Judging from the noise, the space in the secret realm should have collapsed completely and it is no longer possible to enter through the main entrance.

However, when Mo Juren took a closer look, he felt something was wrong. The secret passage that provided him with entry and exit was still intact and had not disappeared at all with the collapse of the interior.

This shouldn't be the case, right? When the ancestors of the Mo family arranged this heritage site, it is impossible that they did not consider this obvious loophole.

So Mo Juren approached the entrance of the secret passage again, and after careful observation, he found that there was a mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage. The Nuan Yang Jade was still used as the key to open it. It seemed that it could be completely closed from the outside.

Just as he was about to take action, he thought of the Five Friends of Mengshan who were still in the passage. He couldn't bear it anymore and entered the passage again, bringing the five dying people out in batches.

Finally, Mo Juren closed the secret passage completely, and only then did he realize how sophisticated the mechanism here was.

Not only did the entire secret passage disappear, it was even perfectly integrated into the stone wall. Except for the position he knew where the Nuan Yang Jade could be placed, other cultivators who came over should not be able to find any flaws even if they explored it inch by inch.

In order to prevent people from seeing the unusualness of this place, Mo Juren made up his mind and said to himself,
"Our ancestors have been offended!"

Afterwards, all the tombs in the ancestral land were flattened to the ground, and all the stone tablets and other items with words on them were taken away.

I believe that before long, this place will become an ordinary barren mountain valley and be completely ignored.

After Mo Juren dealt with all these aftermaths, he moved the Five Friends of Mengshan, Hu Pinggu and others to a safe area, and used his magic power to use the Nuan Yang Jade to remove the evil from them one by one.

Fortunately, they had not been exposed to the poison for long. Although they were poisoned and passed out, with the help of Nuan Yang Bao Yu, the remaining poison in their meridians was slowly removed, and all six of them were rescued by Mo Juren.

Everyone was like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness; their lives were saved, but now they had no magical powers at all.

Seeing that it was Mo Juren who was busy helping them remove the poison, they realized that it was he who saved everyone.

However, under Mo Juren's cover-up, no one noticed Nuan Yang Baoyu and just thought that Mo Juren was using some superb medical skills to treat him.

Mo Juren briefly talked about what happened before.
"That secret place collapsed! Hong Jin and Diao Yuanzheng didn't come out, they must have been trapped inside and died! I originally thought they were dead, but fortunately I woke up before the collapse."

"And the passage you chose created an exit leading directly to the back mountain when it collapsed, so after I rescued myself, I happened to bring the six of you out with me."

Although these words were only one-sided words from Mo Juren, the five friends from Mengshan originally thought that they were doomed to die, and they were reborn thanks to Mo Juren's rescue, so they naturally did not pursue or question this. The fourth brother Zhao Han sighed,
"Alas, it's a pity that this is a secret place. We, the five friends from Mengshan, have been trapped here. We don't even know what treasures are inside, and we almost died in a daze..."

Mo Juren Dao,

"Even if there are treasures, I'm afraid they have been taken by Diao Yuanzheng and his men. I've tried, and except for the passage you took, we can't even get through the doors of the other two places."

This is not a lie, and the Five Friends of Mengshan have also tried it themselves, so they have less regrets about this matter and are no longer entangled and obsessed with it.

However, Mo Juren said,
"Everyone, there is still a tricky problem. Hong Jin and Diao Yuanzheng should be trapped in there. If Lingshou Mountain knew that the seven of us escaped from the secret realm, would they cause trouble for us?"

The second brother Xie Hong nodded and said,
"The people of Spirit Beast Mountain have always protected their shortcomings, and they are even more unreasonable to us casual cultivators. If they suspect us, we will definitely have a hard time living in peace in the future."

Fifth sister Qin Xiaorong said quickly,

"Then let's leave Lanzhou as soon as possible. Didn't my second brother tell me before that there is a new foundation-building method in Yuejing..."

Fourth brother Zhao Han said,

"Fifth sister, don't be too happy too soon. I'm afraid things won't be that simple. The rumors about Yuejing are all very suspicious."

Fifth sister Qin Xiaorong was not convinced.

"That's better than staying in Lanzhou and living in fear. Hong Jin alone has oppressed us for so many years. If Spiritual Beast Mountain sends another beast over, won't we be in even more trouble if we stay here?"

The eldest brother Wang Zhuo finally nodded and said,

"Fifth sister is right. It seems that we can't stay in Lanzhou any longer... I wonder what plans you guys have, brother Zhang?"

Mo Juren Dao,

"I have some businesses in Lanzhou. After everything is arranged, I will definitely disappear for a while. How about you, Sister Hu?"

Ever since Hu Pinggu was rescued by Mo Juren, she had been listening to their conversation absent-mindedly without saying a word.

Mo Juren knew that she must be sad because she lost her husband Xiong Dali, so he deliberately led her to talk.

I only heard Hu Pinggu say,

"Brother Zhang, I've made you worry for nothing. I'm a lonely woman now, what can I do? I only regret that I didn't see Diao Yuanzheng's body torn into pieces with my own eyes."

After saying this, he smiled sadly.
"...But there's no point in saying all this. I won't live for more than a few days anyway, so I'll just follow you, Brother Zhang."

Mo Juren then remembered that Hu Pinggu and other independent cultivators who had entered first had been forced by Diao Yuanzheng to take the corpse worm pill.

Once Diao Yuanzheng died, if she didn't get the antidote, he would be eaten by corpse worms and die sooner or later. No wonder she was so disheartened.
