Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 157 Trap

Suddenly, Mu Yang, who had been steadily leading the way, stopped without warning.

He pointed to a cave not far ahead and said slowly, "In my opinion, what we are looking for should be in that place."

Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu, who was standing to the side, suddenly focused her gaze and then, like an arrow released from a bow, rushed towards the cave entrance.

However, just as she approached the cave entrance, she suddenly sensed an extremely powerful attraction surging out from within the cave.

This force came on so fiercely that it almost caused Huan Yuechu and several others to lose their balance and find it difficult to stand.

Nevertheless, they were not deterred by the difficulties before them. After a brief adjustment, the group resolutely stepped into the mysterious cave.

Upon entering the cave, the group discovered that it was filled with a thick fog, which greatly obstructed their vision, making visibility extremely low.

Just then, a deafening burst of wild laughter suddenly echoed through the cave.

"Hahahaha... I never expected that you fools would actually come knocking on our door!"

With this burst of wild laughter, the figure of the Ink Moon Cult Leader, which had been appearing and disappearing, gradually became clearer before everyone's eyes.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the leader of the Ink Moon Sect was completely enveloped in a jet-black mist, and his eyes revealed a chilling and eerie look.

Faced with this situation, Huan Yuechu showed no fear. She gripped the Spirit Control Pearl, which emitted a faint light, tightly in her right hand, took a big step forward, and shouted sharply, "Today is your death day!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Ink Moon Sect raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.

"Hmph, you rabble like you think you can take my life? You're dreaming!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his arms.

In an instant, a group of puppets with blank faces and stiff movements appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, baring their teeth and claws as they charged straight at the crowd.

Seeing this, Huan Yuechu and the others reacted quickly, drawing their swords and charging forward without hesitation to engage the puppets in a fierce battle.

In an instant, swords flashed and shadows clashed, and shouts of battle echoed throughout the cave.

Amidst the chaotic melee, Mu Yang relied on his keen observation and insight.

Suddenly, they realized that the leader of the Moyue Cult was secretly setting up some kind of mysterious and powerful formation in the dark.

His heart tightened, realizing the situation was dire, and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to warn everyone present of this dangerous act.

At the same time, after hearing Mu Yang's warning, Huan Yuechu dared not be negligent in the slightest. She quickly focused her mind and concentrated on continuously pouring the spiritual power in her body into the Spirit Control Pearl.

With her efforts, the light emitted by the Spirit Orb became increasingly dazzling, like a brilliant sun hanging in the sky.

The powerful light surged forth like a tidal wave, sweeping directly towards the manipulated puppets.

Wherever it passed, the evil aura emanating from the puppets was greatly weakened, and their movements became sluggish.

At this critical moment, Xu Yan and Su Jinyan's eyes were sharp and fixed on the figure of the Mo Yue Sect Leader.

They moved with lightning speed, weaving among the puppets like ghosts, skillfully avoiding their fierce attacks.

In the blink of an eye, they had successfully broken through the tight defenses formed by the puppets and rushed straight towards the leader of the Ink Moon Sect at lightning speed.

The swords in their hands gleamed with a cold light, carrying an indomitable momentum, and were about to pierce the chest of the Ink Moon Cult Leader.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as the sword tip was about to touch the body of the Mo Yue Sect Leader, Xu Yan and Su Jinyan only felt a blur before their eyes, and the swords in their hands passed straight through the other's body without any resistance!

They were startled and instantly realized that the Mo Yue Sect Leader in front of them was just an illusion.

Just as everyone was stunned, a loud, arrogant laugh suddenly came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw that the leader of the Moyue Cult had appeared at the top of the cave at some point.

He looked down at the crowd below with a ferocious, twisted smile on his face, and arrogantly shouted.

"Hahahaha... Do you really think you can harm this leader so easily, you ants?"

Before the words were even finished, everyone felt the surrounding scenery suddenly begin to distort and change violently.

The once solid ground seemed to turn into quicksand, rapidly sinking and collapsing.

In the blink of an eye, a huge, bottomless pit covered with sharp spikes appeared beneath their feet.

Because it happened so suddenly, no one had time to react before they were all helplessly falling into it.

Faced with this sudden change, Huan Yuechu remained unusually calm and composed.

Without any panic, she waved her hand, and the Spirit Orb, radiating dazzling light, flew out of her hand.

The Spirit Pearl traced a graceful arc in the air and landed precisely at the bottom of the deep pit.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle and warm power was slowly released from the Spirit Orb.

It was as if an invisible hand gently supported the rapidly falling crowd, significantly slowing their descent.

Finally, after a heart-stopping descent, everyone landed safely.

However, when they looked around, they were surprised to find themselves in a completely enclosed circular space.

And the treacherous and cunning leader of the Mo Yue Cult once again quietly appeared before them.

Just as he was about to unleash that final, life-or-death strike, Mu Yang's keen eyes suddenly caught a very subtle fluctuation of light on the wall.

This unusual situation instantly caught his attention, and his already taut nerves were now like a fully drawn bowstring.

Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Yang flashed forward like an arrow, rushing towards the source of the shimmering light.

As he got closer, he used all his strength to throw a punch, slamming it hard into the seemingly ordinary wall.

With a loud bang, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, something unexpected happened—it turned out that there was an incredibly ingenious mechanism hidden there!

As the mechanism was triggered, a tightly closed door slowly opened, and the bright light streaming in from outside made everyone momentarily unable to open their eyes.

At this moment, the people who had been trapped here seemed to see a glimmer of hope and rushed straight towards the door.

However, before they could even celebrate their newfound freedom, a furious roar erupted behind them.
