"Are you sure you can't come alone?" Lin Zhao hesitated.

Xiao Qi thought for a moment, "I can come by myself, but you have to hold me. I need to be level with the two snake heads so I can open the lock."

"Alright!" Lin Zhao said without hesitation, picking up Xiao Qi horizontally. After adjusting her position up and down, she squatted into a horse stance on the spot, "Is this okay?"

"It's fine!" After taking off her shoes, Xiao Qi used her toes to grip an iron bar, aiming it at one of the snake heads, and reached for the lock on the other side.

Lin Zhao looked back and forth. Xiao Qi wasn't tall enough to reach both locks simultaneously, even with her hands outstretched. Just as she was about to put her down, Xiao Qi stretched herself about half a foot longer in her arms.

Lin Zhao stared dumbfounded at Xiao Qi as she gradually lengthened. "Did you turn into a cat?"

"Women are made of water!" As Xiao Qi spoke, she stretched herself a little further, inserting a key into each lock with her hands.

Just as Xiao Qi was listening intently to the sounds inside the locks, a figure suddenly appeared before Lin Zhao.

From her attire, Lin Zhao could tell it was a woman, but she was too far away to make out her features clearly.

Lin Zhao's hands instinctively sank slightly, but Xiao Qi shrieked, "Don't move! Once this mechanism is triggered, it can't be stopped. If I let go, we're both done for."

The moment Lin Zhao gritted her teeth and lifted Xiao Qi up, the figure on the opposite side flashed and moved several meters forward out of thin air.

When Lin Zhao saw the white clothes the figure was wearing, she subconsciously cried out, "Sister Feng!"

But, in the next instant, Lin Zhao's hands tightened abruptly.

That wasn't Feng Ruoxing.

She only resembled Feng Ruoxing in her attire, but her aura was completely different.

A ghost deity!

As these two words flashed through Lin Zhao's mind, two eyes suddenly opened on the other woman's forehead. The cold light emitted from the four eerie pupils was focused entirely on the top of Lin Zhao's head.

Lin Zhao knew that if she didn't act, the ghost deity's sharp claws would tear open her skull.

In the nick of time, Lin Zhao lightly patted Xiao Qi's body with both hands, lowered herself, and used her back to catch Xiao Qi.

Before Xiao Qi could react, Lin Zhao changed her position again, facing away from the door and holding Xiao Qi in her hands, standing upright inside the Little Dragon Pagoda.

At the same time, she instinctively felt the threat of death quietly descending upon her.

Lin Zhao suddenly smiled, "Xiao Qi, hurry and find Li Po. You'll be safe when you see him. Tell him to rescue Sister Feng and Badger."

Xiao Qi had also seen the ghost deity flying towards them from afar, "Be careful!"

Lin Zhao used one palm to block the top of her head, and grabbed Xiao Qi's belt with the other hand, throwing her to the side.

Lin Zhao knew that the ghost deity was approaching, but she still threw Xiao Qi out of the Little Dragon Pagoda in order to trade her life for Xiao Qi's.

At that time, the mechanism was activated in front, and the ghost deity was descending from behind. As long as Xiao Qi was still in the pagoda, she could not escape death. Only by taking advantage of the moment when the ghost deity was killing, and letting Xiao Qi rush out of the Little Dragon Pagoda's range, would she have a chance of survival.

Lin Zhao exerted force from both sides like this, which would definitely injure her waist. After the collision with the ghost deity, Lin Zhao would not have a chance to run even if she wanted to.

Just as the crisp sound from Lin Zhao's waist rang out, her raised left palm met the ghost claws. Lin Zhao's waist couldn't exert force, and no matter how strong the true energy that burst out of her palm was, it was in vain.

Under the collision of the auras of one person and one deity, Lin Zhao was struck into the pagoda.

Before she could get up, Xiao Qi, who was thrown out by Lin Zhao, happened to see Lin Zhao's figure fall into the Little Dragon Pagoda, and the white-clothed ghost deity also walked slowly into the pagoda.

Xiao Qi hesitated slightly, and then the gate of the Little Dragon Pagoda slammed shut, and she could no longer see the situation inside the pagoda.

Xiao Qi stood up and ran away.

Never fight if you can run; this is the consensus of those in the Kong Dao (empty path).

When people in Kong Dao are doing business, once they are in a crisis, don't expect their companions to come out and save them. Their first reaction is definitely to run away.

If you encounter a conscientious companion, they will go to send you some food and drink and bribe the jailers after you are arrested. Most of the time, you have to make new friends after you get out of prison.

This is the law of survival in Kong Dao.

If people in Kong Dao really had the courage to go up and fight to the death with anyone, they wouldn't choose to be thieves, but would instead become bandits and occupy the mountains.

After running a few steps, Xiao Qi suddenly stopped, slapped herself in the face, and pulled out another Wuji staff from behind. Carrying the staff, she ran back while crying, "Sister Lin, hold on, I couldn't find the hall master, I'm back."

When Xiao Qi rushed to the door, she raised her left hand upward, supporting the long staff in the air, and turned the end of the staff outward with her right hand. The Qi Mei Wuji staff was like a spear, spinning and piercing the door.

The gate of the Little Dragon Pagoda was also blasted with a hole nearly a foot in diameter amid a loud explosion.

Xiao Qi did come back, but she still didn't have the courage to face the ghost deity directly. She made a hole in the door just to see the situation in the Little Dragon Pagoda, so as to determine whether there was an opportunity to take advantage of.
