"Right, where are you heading?" Seeing Zhou Qing remain silent, the White Crane asked.
Zhou Qing replied, "We’re just wandering around."
"Alright, then stay safe and return to the mountain gate as soon as possible. I need to go find your second senior sister!"
The White Crane’s face was full of worry. After speaking, he randomly chose a direction and hurriedly left.
Zhou Qing watched his departing figure and couldn’t help but fall into a deep thought.
Facing the eldest senior brother, second senior sister, and even someone like Lei Lie, he could clearly sense a mysterious aura from them, which was a sign they were about to step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.
But when facing the White Crane, with his current eyesight, it was like looking at an ordinary mortal without any trace of cultivation.
"Could it be that he had already reached Divinity Transformation long ago?" Zhou Qing couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.
Lu Yaoyao spoke up at this moment, "I find him quite familiar. With Senior Sister Luo’s temperament, it should be fine."
Zhou Qing didn’t say anything else and continued on the road with Lu Yaoyao.
Finally, three days later, they arrived at the Beimang Mine once again.
Revisiting an old place, they were filled with mixed emotions.
"If we could get another piece of Chaos Profound Gold, that would be even better!" Zhou Qing looked at the mine in front of him, with a hint of an expectant smile on his face.
Lu Yaoyao was also extremely excited.
This mine was quite remote, practically near the main road leading to Lingyun Mansion, and the guards here should not be strong.
After all, she had gained quite a bit from the Blood Rock Mine.
At this moment, Zhou Qing’s expression changed abruptly as he quickly pulled Lu Yaoyao down to crouch.
They saw an old man with sparse, graying hair and a hunched figure appearing at the entrance of the mine at some point, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth and stretching his muscles and bones.
In his sunken eye sockets, a pair of blood-red eyes glimmered with a sinister light.
"Blood Bone Old Ghost, what is he doing here?" Seeing the figure, Zhou Qing frowned, filled with suspicion and vigilance.
Last time in You Huang City, the opponent had barely escaped from their encirclement.
Afterward, Cyan Feather Immortal Sect’s Chu Binli and Deng Rui chased after him but couldn’t catch up.
"Could it be because of his carelessness that caused Song Yuan’s tragic death, and Cangyan Daoist Palace demoted him to this place?" Zhou Qing questioned.
But that shouldn’t be the case. The opponent was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection with ample experience. Even if it was a mistake, he should be repaying his offense with meritorious deeds, not staying in such a remote place?
"The situation has changed, we need to retreat first!"
Zhou Qing’s expression was grim as he quietly led Lu Yaoyao away.
In a nearby mountain nook, Zhou Qing explained the opponent’s background to Lu Yaoyao, to give her a sense of preparedness.
"So, it was him who reported you as cunning and good with poison!" Lu Yaoyao puffed her cheeks angrily, indignant.
Zhou Qing was speechless, thinking shouldn’t you be concerned about something else?
"The opponent is not an ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection, extremely experienced, but luckily he hasn’t comprehended the Realm yet," Zhou Qing analyzed.
Lu Yaoyao said worriedly, "How about we leave? There’s no need to confront him head-on. If he sees you, he might capture you at any cost to redeem himself."
Zhou Qing wasn’t particularly worried about this. He felt that there must be another reason for the person’s appearance here.
"No rush. I’ll sneak in tonight and catch a lackey first!" Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed with determination.
Since they were already here, it felt pointless to leave empty-handed.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t say anything more.
Afterwards, Zhou Qing looked at the distant mine with eyes gleaming coldly.
If he could comprehend the Minor Achievement of Suanni’s bloodline inherited skill "Thunderstorm Meteor Kill" and combine it with "Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture" for one strike, the combined force would surely inflict significant damage on the opponent.
Moreover, the vitality and Spiritual Power within the four-colored flower could replenish his consumption in time, keeping him battle-ready.
Finally, using the fourth move of "Thunder Sword Skills" to deliver a fatal blow, he believed he could completely kill that Blood Bone Old Ghost here.
Of course, if Tetanus could cut the opponent first as it did with Song Yuan last time, the chance would be even greater.
Even if he became exhausted, wasn’t Lu Yaoyao still by his side?
Though she was only at Golden Core Realm Perfection, the amplification of the Heavenly Dao Qi could make her combat strength comparable to an early stage of Nascent Soul Realm.
