Chapter 159 Seeing Injustice
"Senior Brother Murong, your injuries are much better, aren't they?"
Walking at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, Yi Ruo looked at Murong Tian, whose face was slightly pale, and asked with concern.
"It's alright, you'll recover after a few days of rest."
Murong Tian smiled slightly, shook his head, and replied.
"That's good. It's just that we haven't completed the task Master assigned us. I wonder what will happen when we return to the sect. Sigh." Yi Ruo sighed and said.
“Junior Sister Yi Ruo, if you fail to complete the mission, at most you'll be punished by being confined to the sect when you return. That's much better than losing your life, isn't it?” At this moment, a male disciple spoke up.
"Yes, indeed." Yi Ruo glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, thought about it, and realized it was true. But thinking of that cold man from before, a fire ignited in her heart, and she said:
"I wonder how that guy is doing. I'm afraid he was beaten to death by a bear."
Upon hearing this, Murong Tian glanced at the gloating Yi Ruo, shook his head slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be the case. That guy is very strong. Even if he can't kill the bear, he can easily escape."
Upon hearing this, Yi Ruo lowered her eyebrows, looked at Murong Tian, pouted slightly, and complained:
"Senior Brother Murong, how can you speak well of that person? He's not a good person. He might have saved us just to get the treasure inside, and it was just something he did on the side."
"That's not right. He saved us, after all. We should know how to repay him, even if his intentions were different."
Murong Tian smiled faintly, a gentle breeze brushing against his handsome face, and said.
"Tch." Yi Ruo couldn't help but spit it out upon hearing this, then turned her gaze elsewhere.
"ah……"
"Help!"
Just then, screams and cries for help echoed from the mountains.
Upon hearing the voice coming from above, Murong Tian and the others exchanged glances for a second, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Let's go, let's go up and take a look!" Murong Tian ran quickly towards the direction between the mountains, and all the disciples behind him followed closely.

"Yoona, run faster! That serial killer is catching up!"
Weiming kept looking back at Wei Shao, and when he realized that Wei Shao was getting closer and closer, his heart jumped. He turned back and shouted to Lin Yun'er.
Yoona had already expended a lot of energy while hiking, and she was wearing white platform sandals, so she naturally ran slowly.
"You think you can escape? All of you, stay here!"
Wei Shao stared at them, his eyes almost spitting out fury, and rushed forward instantly.
"Damn it!" Weiming couldn't help but exclaim when he saw it. He immediately sped up, overtook Lin Yun'er, and ran as fast as he could.
He could sense that if he didn't run faster and wait for Lim Yoona behind him, he would only die, and die the fastest.
Anyway, this girl isn't anyone to me, and she doesn't seem to want to be friends with me, so why should I bother with her?
While a hero rescuing a damsel in distress at this moment would be very effective, you need to have the ability to do it!
Weiming was so young to have already become the deputy manager of a department in the Xia Group. He had a long road ahead of him and even greater potential for advancement. Why would he lose his life for a woman?
Already panting heavily, with cold sweat covering her forehead, Lin Yoona's beautiful eyes were filled with disappointment as she watched Wei Ming run away frantically.
Didn't he just say he would stay behind her and protect her?
Does that mean everything men say is a lie?
Not necessarily. Maybe it's the boy. He may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he would never abandon someone. Last time, when the huge billboard fell down, he didn't abandon me but took me with him.
Lin Yoona sensed a strong aura of death approaching from behind, and her beautiful eyes flashed with despair. She ran desperately, not daring to look back.
"Quick, everyone, save them!"
Murong Tian saw this scene as soon as he arrived, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He quickly took the lead and struck Wei Shao hard in the waist.
"Hmm...who?!"
Wei Shao felt a sharp pain in his waist, and his body shifted, retreating dozens of meters, before he spoke coldly.
Five people dressed in white casual clothes stood in front of him.
"To commit malicious murder in broad daylight, you—are not worthy of being a martial artist!!"
Murong Tian frowned slightly, stared at him coldly, and called out.
"Haha, whether you're worthy or not is not for you little brats to decide. I'm asking you, did you take my Blue Ghost Grass? Hand it over right now, and I might spare your lives!"
Upon seeing this group of people, who were also martial artists, Wei Shao became suspicious and replied.
Hearing voices behind her, Lim Yoona paused slightly and turned around to look.
The murderous demon, whose path was blocked by five people, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, are you alright?" Yi Ruo walked up to Lin Yun'er and asked.
