Back at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, Chu Junlan found that the situation on the mountain had changed tremendously in the three days after she left.

The three thousand battalions at the foot of the mountain were still stationed in their original location, but no one went into the mountain to search. County Magistrate Cheng and the local servants had already left.

Judging from their appearance, they had completely given up searching and completely believed that Xiao Xu had become an immortal.

Chu Junlan was so angry that he was too lazy to tell them about the time they were wasted. She knew very well what these people were thinking, but it was nothing more than the law that did not blame the public. Even if the prince really became an immortal, the emperor would not have killed all the five hundred of them for a prince.

Prince Gong would not do this for his son, because he was touching the emperor's rebellion.

No way, Prince Gong lost his prince and would express his gratitude to the Tao of Heaven with great fantasy. He had an immortal son, so his reputation would be so loud.

Chu Junlan was suppressed and met Huo Yeqing, who was waiting for a shaved beard at the foot of the mountain.

"Have you been guarding the mountain?"

"Yes, Miss Three, we have been taking turns staying in place and have not seen anyone in and out."

"Not a word?"

"No."

"Very good," Chu Junlan nodded, "What's going on in the Zong family these days?"

"Miss, the Zong family is still the same. The court does not allow believers to go up the mountain, which has also aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. The Zong Mountain Lord also came forward to persuade the people and helped the local magistrate."

Chu Junlan sneered: "He is a person who is very wise."

"I also think that the master of the sect is very problematic, but since that day, the sect's guards have added 30% more, and the patrolers have wave after wave. In order to avoid alarming the snake, my subordinates have not dared to act randomly."

"I understand," Chu Junlan turned to Xia Zhenyan, "Mr. Xia, please come with us."

"Okay." Xia Zhenyan nodded.

Huo Yeqing respectfully bowed to Xia Zhenyan and walked ahead to lead the way. Chu Junlan followed closely behind. Xia Zhenyan's movements were the slowest, wrapped in a dark blue cotton cloak, and slowly followed with his hands.

He is obviously a vibrant young man, but at the moment, his steps are lazily and slowly.

Chu Junlan and Huo Yeqing were anxious and were very fast, but if they were a little too careful, they would throw Xia Zhenyan away.

Knowing that he was a casual person, he clearly asked someone to help save people. Chu Junlan was not satisfied, so he had to persuade him: "Mr. Xia, please hurry up."

"Oh, okay." He agreed, but he acted like a seventy-year-old man. He could not tell that he had such a weird and powerful skill.

Huo Yeqing was almost irritated by Xia Zhenyan's slow speed and sweated.

But Xia Zhenyan also persuaded them in turn: "Don't be anxious, why are you anxious? You have been sleepy for more than ten days, and it's not bad for this moment."

Having said that, the closer he got to the back mountain, the more anxious Chu Junlan was, and he hated that he had no ribs and flew directly over. Xia Zhenyan was so procrastinating that Chu Junlan wanted to beat him up.

When he finally got to the back mountain, Jing Yu and a few guards were guarding a small bonfire to gather together to keep warm.

"Miss Three!" As soon as he saw Chu Junlan coming, Jing Yu and others stood up and gathered beside Chu Junlan.

"Miss Three, you are back!"

"It's really hard for you to stay here in such a cold and harsh environment."

"Miss 3, what you said is what we should do."

"Who is the third lady? The princess is missing. It's my dereliction of duty. Even if I lose my life, it's all right."

While the few people were talking, Xia Zhenyan had already walked around the group with his hands and took a closer look.

Chu Junlan felt a little nervous, and quickly walked closer and asked softly, "Young Master Xia, is there a formation here?"

"It's true, and it seems that it has some connection with the formations on our mountain, but these are just very basic and simple, just like the one you last time, with the purpose of making people get lost."

As Xia Zhenyan said, he broke a branch and couldn't see where he moved. Originally, Chu Junlan felt a bit distorted, and the strange twisting feeling disappeared. After the bushes were hidden, a cave suddenly appeared!

Everyone who had never seen such a skill was already shocked and stunned.

"Is there really a problem here?"

Chu Junlan didn't care about so much and rushed towards the cave quickly.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly followed, exclaiming: "Miss Third, be careful!"

The entrance of the cave can only allow people to bend over and go in. It will be more laborious if they are slightly taller. Chu Junlan went in and observed carefully. There was no fishy smell of animals in the air, and he could feel the breeze towards him. It seemed that there was an exit in the cave.

Chu Junlan wanted to call Xiao Xu a few times, but when she was not sure about the situation, she was afraid that she would make a rash sound and would alarm the snake, so she had to pursed her lips and endured it.

The more you go inside, the wider the cave becomes. Later, people can stand up and see a light in front of you. It turns out that there is an exit deep in the cave. This cave is like a tunnel, leading to another place!

Chu Junlan came out from the exit, and the bright snow shone so hard that people couldn't open their eyes.

Just then, a hoarse voice came from not far away with surprise.

"Qingqing?"

"Crown Prince?"

Chu Junlan gradually opened his eyes and saw an oval flat ground with thick fallen leaves under the snow, and several coniferous trees. The walls were cliffs. Looking up, you could only see a sky. Xiao Xu wore the cloak when they came, with pale and thin face, scattered hair, and a face full of stubble. He described his unprecedented sloppy and was sitting against the mountain wall guarding a small bonfire.

"You are indeed here!" Chu Junlan was overjoyed, rushed over without hesitation, and hugged him.

Xiao Xu's face was still in shock, as if he couldn't believe that Chu Junlan had found him. Seeing Xia Zhenyan, Jing Yu, Huo Yeqing and others coming out of the cave one by one, Xiao Xu murmured: "So that's the exit?"

Chu Junlan was stunned, let go of his hand and asked, "Yes, that's the exit. Have you not noticed a hole there before?"

Xiao Xu smiled bitterly: "I'm almost frozen here. If I knew it was a hole, I wouldn't hide there."

Chu Junlan hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, stuffed the green pills inside into Xiao Xu's mouth, and then turned around and asked Jing Yu: "What did you bring to eat?"

"Take it, bring it!"

Jing Yu touched tears and hurriedly handed over a cake covered in her arms. Huo Yeqing also took off the water bag on his waist and served it with both hands.

Xiao Xu took the cake and finished it in a few bites. Even though his eating manner was still elegant, he could tell that he was really hungry.

Chu Junlan looked at the closed environment around him and said, "How did you come here? How did you survive these days?"

Xiao Xu smiled bitterly: "There is no shortage of water here, and the snow on the ground is enough. When I feel so uncomfortable, fortunately, there are the pills you gave me on my body. I occasionally caught hares and wild birds, but I was knocked down from above. With my lightness skills, I couldn't fly to the cliff at all."

"Someone knocked you down?" Chu Junlan was furious, "Is it a member of the Zong family?"

Xiao Xu nodded and said seriously: "I have found the secret of Zong Mohan's immortality."
