Next, Qianxun led Diao Ling, searching every nook and cranny without relent.
However, she still couldn’t find any trace of Huo Tianzun, not even sensing his breath.
As time passed, Qianxun’s expression grew increasingly ugly.
Just then, Taoist Bai He arrived with several demons.
Seeing Diao Ling and Qianxun, Taoist Bai He sneered, "Catch them! Now let’s see where you can run!"
As his words fell, the demons at his side charged towards Qianxun and Diao Ling.
Diao Ling’s fur bristled instantly. Could his sister-in-law handle this?
Just as Diao Ling tensed up, he heard Qianxun coldly say, "Perfect timing!"
With that, her figure shot out like a cannonball towards the attacking demons, her long legs delivering a fierce kick that sent two demons flying, crashing harshly into the stone wall.
And on her arm, Diao Ling didn’t even feel the slightest tremor.
For a moment, Diao Ling was stunned.
Was his sister-in-law’s combat ability too terrifying?
After Qianxun quickly disposed of the several demons, under Taoist Bai He’s horrified gaze, she zipped behind him. Her sharp nails aimed at Taoist Bai He’s neck, "Where is Huo Tianzun?"
At these words, Taoist Bai He swallowed hard, then said, "I... I don’t know! We are also searching for him! Really!"
Originally, their plan had been foolproof even though he had lost many demons he controlled.
But he could never have anticipated that his own dagger, damn it, would be switched by someone!
That had prevented the demons from wreaking havoc on Huo Tianzun and, instead, allowed Huo Tianzun a chance to escape!
However, up to now, he had not found Huo Tianzun’s whereabouts.
Hearing Taoist Bai He’s words, Qianxun was unsure whether to believe him. Her sharp nails plunged directly into the bones of Taoist Bai He’s shoulder, her face expressionlessly cold as she said, "You’d better be telling the truth!"
Taoist Bai He’s face twisted in pain, and then he said tremulously, "Truly! I swear I’m telling the truth!"
Hearing this, Qianxun snorted coldly and then twisted her arm.
After two crisp sounds, Taoist Bai He’s arms were dislocated.
Taoist Bai He’s face contorted with pain, but at this moment, he didn’t dare say anything disagreeable to Qianxun, afraid that in her anger, she would twist his neck.
The next instant, Qianxun tapped Taoist Bai He’s body. She naturally knew that Taoist Bai He couldn’t possibly have the power to kill Yanzhi, there must be someone behind him!
As for who that person was, she didn’t have the time to interrogate now; everything still had to prioritize Yanzhi’s safety.
Rescuing Yanzhi first, there was plenty of time for interrogation later.
After confirming that Huo Tianzun had disappeared near the cliff, Qianxun narrowed her eyes, scanning the area.
At that moment, a breeze blew by, rustling the tree leaves.
Simultaneously, a very faint but familiar scent drifted with the wind.
That was... the smell of Yanzhi’s blood!
Strange, how hadn’t she smelled it before?
The next moment, Qianxun immediately followed the scent forward.
Not long after, the faint blood scent in her nostrils disappeared again, and at the same time, a mild fragrance of locust flowers reached her.
With the appearance of this floral scent, Qianxun finally realized something was off.
It was nearly winter, where would the fragrance of locust blossoms come from?
