Yan Xiaohu hurriedly explained, "Lei Luo is a disciple of the Golden Thunder Sect. Don’t worry, you can trust him!"
Then he secretly transmitted, "He is Lei Lie’s younger brother, but he really dislikes being introduced this way."
Zhou Qing suddenly understood; it turned out he was the one who dug up someone’s ancestors’ graves with Third Senior Brother.
"Greetings, Junior Brother Zhou!" Lei Luo quickly stepped forward to salute, his attitude very respectful.
Zhou Qing returned the salute, then looked around and said, "Where is he?"
Yan Xiaohu said, "Are you talking about Brother-in-law? He’s still looking for Second Senior Sister. It’s not convenient for him to . I have no idea where Second Senior Sister has gone. Despite my understanding of her, I haven’t been able to find her after such a long search." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
Zhou Qing shook his head silently. Last time he encountered White Crane looking for Second Senior Sister, and he didn’t expect that after so long, he was still searching.
Such a dedicated person, it’s fortunate he has no ill intent.
"You haven’t mentioned, how did you end up so unlucky... Oh my—"
Soon, Yan Xiaohu glanced inadvertently and saw a thunder cage about the size of Zhou Qing’s right fist. Inside, a miniature Nascent Soul was staring angrily at them.
Its eyes were full of hatred and resentment!
He hastily moved closer to take a careful look, his face full of shock as he realized the situation.
"This... you did this?" Yan Xiaohu’s eyes widened, his voice trembling with shock.
Zhou Qing nodded and said helplessly, "Otherwise, why do you think Blood Bone Old Ghost is chasing me?"
[Heart Mirror Points +9]
The remark [God-like Junior Brother] above Yan Xiaohu’s head instantly changed to [Incompetent Junior Brother].
Because Sima Demoness was at Nascent Soul Great Perfection, her Nascent Soul was almost indistinguishable from her physical body.
Thus, Lei Luo also recognized her at a glance and now looked at Zhou Qing with the same disbelief.
Lu Yaoyao beside them was full of pride, her eyes showing nothing but admiration and pride when looking at Zhou Qing.
"No more talking, let’s leave this place quickly!" Zhou Qing looked around and said.
Yan Xiaohu snapped out of it and immediately looked dejected.
He had just made a name for himself and was thinking he could bask in some glory, but it seemed he would be overshadowed by Zhou Qing again.
I’m a freak, but you are against heaven itself!
On the Withdrawal Drum, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, seizing the time to recover.
According to what Third Senior Brother said, he roughly understood the situation.
The two had brazenly ventured into the Cangyan Daoist Palace for a tour and hadn’t gone far before encountering White Crane.
Afterward, they followed him to search for Second Senior Sister, and with White Crane’s help, narrowly avoided the Divinity Transformation Tiger Capture Team several times.
Until White Crane first discovered the chasing Blood Bone Old Ghost and the fleeing Zhou Qing ahead.
Therefore, he had Yan Xiaohu restrain them first while he set up the Teleportation Array. Due to his royal identity, it was not appropriate for him to get involved in the sects’ grievances, so he didn’t come along and planned to search elsewhere.
Zhou Qing felt a surge of gratitude. Even so, at the last moment, he intervened to block one of Blood Bone’s attacks, buying them time.
This favor, he must repay when he gets the chance in the future.
"This place seems to be in the Cyan Ox Ridge area!" Zhou Qing, recovering slightly, said while looking around.
Yan Xiaohu nodded, "That’s right. Years ago, the Cangyan Daoist Palace set up a Killing Array here, intending to capture us all in one fell swoop. Time really flies, doesn’t it?"
However, Zhou Qing frowned deeply, looking at the unusually calm Sima Demoness in the cage, and said, "At our speed, it will take at least three more days to return to the Taiqing Sect successfully."
"The Cangyan Daoist Palace and the Phecda Sect like to ambush on this route. The closer we get to home, the more dangerous it is when we let our guard down. Let’s descend, I need to handle something first."
Zhou Qing continued, his tone filled with caution and worry.
Yan Xiaohu also became solemn, recalling Senior Brother Tan Qiang of Golden Sun Peak.
Already at the mountain gate, Elder Wuzhu came to welcome him, only for him to die tragically.
They still didn’t know what was in the box he brought back.
Then, they descended and found a cave.
"I have a few sets of Golden Sun Peak disciples’ clothes we can wear!" Yan Xiaohu suggested.
Zhou Qing nodded, but this wasn’t the most crucial thing.
Sima Demoness held an extraordinary position in the Cangyan Daoist Palace. They likely already received the news and were making every effort to rescue and intercept.
Just like that strange black dog beside Blood Bone Old Ghost not long ago, it locked on to his scent instantly.
Even though the spatial teleportation greatly reduced the distance between the two sides, who could guarantee they didn’t have other such means?
More importantly, what if there were special tracking items inside Sima Demoness’s storage bag? They would be like the brightest star in the night.
"Remove the Soul Mark on it!" Zhou Qing held the storage bag, his eyes cold as he commanded Sima Demoness.
Sima Demoness slowly opened her eyes, sneering, "You can kill me, and the mark will naturally dissipate."
Zhou Qing coldly replied, "You’ll die, but it won’t be by my hand."
"Oh, really? If I’m destined to die, why should I make things easy for you?" Sima Demoness taunted.
Yan Xiaohu seemed to have guessed something and asked, "Are you thinking of having Senior Brother Du Kui do it?"
Senior Brother Du Kui had shown them kindness. Only by allowing him to act personally might he find a way out.
Otherwise, his whole life would be wasted, let alone reaching Divinity Transformation.
Yan Xiaohu felt a sense of comfort, appreciating Zhou Qing’s meticulous and thorough considerations.
But looking at the unyielding Sima Demoness, he suddenly smiled and said, "What about this woman’s corpse?"
