Seeing Qi Yuanming's sharp gaze sweeping over, the guilty young man immediately took two steps forward and knelt in front of Qi Yuanming. Then, he said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Qi, I left this mark."
"Ren Yuan, our Qi Clan has always treated you well. Why did you leave this mark?" Hearing the youth's words, Qi Yuanming immediately flew into a rage.
As he cursed, he pointed at Ren Yuan, looking as though he was about to kill Ren Yuan with a single palm strike.
Ren Yuan didn't seem to know how to explain. All he could do was kowtow and say, "Young master Qi, it's my fault."
"Speak, who ordered you to do this?" Qi Yuanming's face darkened.
"It's …" Ren Yuan only managed to spit out a single word before he stopped. He seemed to be extremely afraid.
"If you don't speak, I'll kill you with a single palm strike!" Qi Yuanming said angrily.
This time, before Ren Yuan could speak, a voice rang out. "Brother Qi, I was the one who ordered him to do this."
The speaker was Guo Shaoqing.
"Brother Guo, you played a good trick!" Qi Yuanming said coldly as he looked at Guo Shaoqing.
How could he not be angry that his subordinate had been incited to betray him? If it weren't for the fact that the situation was so complicated, he would have already rushed up and beaten Guo Shaoqing up.
"Brother Qi, this subordinate of yours came to our Yangzhang County to play Pai Jiu and accidentally incurred a huge debt. I felt sorry for him, so I paid it back for him. Now, asking him to do something for me isn't too much, is it?" Guo Shaoqing smiled calmly.
It was as though what he was doing was only natural.
Without even asking, Qi Yuanming knew that Chen Luo's Green Shadowmouse was leaked by Ren Yuan.
As for Ren Yuan, upon hearing Guo Shaoqing's words, he immediately kowtowed again. "Young master Qi, it's my fault, it's my fault …"
"It is indeed your fault, so you can only be …"
Before he could finish, Qi Yuanming had already struck out with a palm strike. Ren Yuan's head was directly smashed off by Qi Yuanming.
Seeing this, Qi Yuanming's remaining subordinates couldn't help but shiver.
"Guo Shaoqing, I'll settle this score with you when I have the chance," Qi Yuanming said coldly.
"Brother Qi, the Supreme Sect welcomes you at any time," Guo Shaoqing said with a fake smile.
Immediately afterwards, he frowned. Looking at Zhou Peng, he said, "Brother Zhou, how did you know that brother Qi had a Green Shadowmouse, and how were you able to follow this mark to this place?"
Guo Shaoqing didn't seem to care about Ren Yuan's death, but he hated Zhou Peng to the bone. If not for Zhou Peng, Ren Yuan wouldn't have been exposed, and Qi Yuanming wouldn't have targeted him.
Although the Supreme Sect was powerful, they would not want to offend a powerful force like the Qi Family.
"Brother Guo, when I entered the Rubble Gorge, I accidentally overheard your conversation with Ren Yuan, and then overheard the Shadowmouse and the symbol." Zhou Peng said casually.
He deliberately revealed such a thing to make Qi Yuanming bear a grudge against Guo Shaoqing, so he had long expected such a thing to happen.
"Then why didn't I notice you?" Guo Shaoqing frowned.
"Perhaps it's because the technique I practice is very good at hiding my aura, so you didn't notice me." Zhou Peng shrugged, then changed the topic. "Brother Guo, what's the point of talking about this? Why don't we ask brother Qi if he has already obtained the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma?"
Guo Shaoqing knew that there was no point in bickering with Zhou Peng. The most important thing now was to find the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, so he frowned and looked at Qi Yuanming. "Brother Qi, since you already have a Green Shadowmouse, you most likely have already obtained the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, right?"
Both of them knew that he had a Green Shadowmouse, so Guo Shaoqing didn't hide it anymore. "Just now, I did use the Green Shadowmouse, but I wasn't able to capture the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma. It escaped."
"I don't believe you." Guo Shaoqing immediately shook his head.
Zhou Peng nodded in agreement.
With a cold snort, Qi Yuanming took out the half-dried skin of the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, then tossed it to Guo Shaoqing. "Look for yourself. This is what the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma left behind after it escaped."
Guo Shaoqing took a serious look, then sniffed it carefully. He immediately believed Qi Yuanming's words.
Afterwards, he tossed the skin back to Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng did the same thing as Guo Shaoqing, also believing Qi Yuanming's words.
The reason why the two of them believed him was because they could tell from the skin that the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma had been greatly damaged. If Qi Yuanming had really captured the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, he wouldn't have caused it to be damaged like this.
Since the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma had already escaped, and it had been damaged like this, it was most likely in the vicinity. If they searched carefully, they would most likely be able to find it.
Zhou Peng and Guo Shaoqing both had the same thought in their minds.
Afterwards, how could they still care about Qi Yuanming? Instead, they immediately searched the surroundings for the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma.
Although it was extremely likely that the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma had escaped far away like before, the possibility was obviously lower than before. Hence, the probability of searching the vicinity was definitely much higher.
As for Qi Yuanming, even though he was cursing the two of them in his heart, he also started searching helplessly.
The three of them searched in different directions, so they quickly put some distance between themselves.
Then, not long after, Zhou Peng heard a shrill cry coming from Qi Yuanming's direction.
The voice was actually somewhat similar to Qi Yuanming's. However, as they were in a hurry to search for the Nine Orifice Green Hell Ganoderma, Zhou Peng didn't take it to heart.
After all, with Qi Yuanming's strength, there was no one in these few valleys who could kill him.
However, after a short while, Zhou Peng heard another shrill cry coming from Guo Shaoqing's direction.
That voice was also somewhat similar to Guo Shaoqing's. At this moment, Zhou Peng finally became a little vigilant.
After all, this was the Sky Peak Mountain Range. Apart from humans, there were also ferocious beasts. who knew, there might even be extremely powerful ferocious beasts appearing.
Although the possibility of this was extremely low, they had to be on guard.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Peng decided to walk in Guo Shaoqing's direction. At this moment, he was extremely cautious. Once he felt that something was wrong, he would immediately escape.
Before he had walked far, a series of footsteps came from the front. Then, a figure appeared in front of him.
It was a tall man with a face that looked even more serious than Zhou Peng's.
He felt that this man was at most an Advanced Martial Master, so Zhou Peng wasn't afraid of him.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Zhou Peng asked coldly.
"My surname is An, and my name is Zijin," the man replied indifferently.
