It was early in the morning outside the cave. Stone peaks were clustered together, dark red like iron, solemn and dignified.
Mist drifted within the mountain range. The surrounding exposed rock walls and precipitous rocks were all covered in a continuous scarlet-black colour, appearing extremely quiet and secluded. However, many places were in a mess, proving that an extremely intense battle had occurred here not long ago.
On a mountain peak, a slightly hunched figure stood silently. His long hair was combed into a high bun, with some white mottled hair. From the back, this person was probably quite old.
"Chi!"
A beautiful figure flew out of the cave. Her entire body was wrapped in a green light. After that, she landed on a nearby mountain peak.
The light receded, revealing the beautiful figure, her face still pale. It was Dongli Qingqing.
"Master."
Dongli Qingqing's beautiful figure moved lightly, arriving behind the slightly hunched figure with mottled white hair.
"How are your injuries?"
A rather sharp voice rang out, causing one to feel uncomfortable. The figure slowly turned around. It was an old woman in her fifties, her face looking a little old.
If Du Shaofu were here, he would definitely recognize this old woman as the one he had seen in the Savage Beast Mountain Range. She was also Dongli Qingqing's master, and had even fought with the beautiful woman who had come to find Fu Yibai.
"My injuries are roughly the same. Could it be that Master has been here for a long time?" Dongli Qingqing looked at her master, her eyes filled with doubt. Her entire being emitted a faint spiritual energy, like a spirit from the depths of the forest.
"You've been here for a few days. Come with me, it's time to go back." The old woman looked at Dongli Qingqing and said.
"Master, I..." Hearing this, Dongli Qingqing secretly looked towards the cave below.
The old woman seemed to know everything. Looking at Dongli Qingqing, she asked, "Could it be that you can't let go of that brat?"
Dongli Qingqing was a little afraid to meet her master's gaze. Opening her pearly white teeth, she said, "Master, he saved me before. Right now, his injuries are quite serious..."
"You also saved him before. You don't owe that brat anything," said the old woman. Her expression and aura made it hard for others to resist.
Dongli Qingqing raised her head slightly and said, "Master, I saved him because it was convenient. He saved me twice because he knew that his life was in danger, so this is different."
"So, you gave your clan's Carefree Rippling Steps to that brat and wanted to give him a Black Flame Spirit Ginseng." The old woman seemed to know everything.
On the towering mountain peak, there were a few strands of milky white mist. In the mist, on Dong Li Qingqing's fairy-like face, there was a flash of light in her glassy eyes. It was hard to fathom. Then her eyes moved slightly, and her thin lips curled up slightly. She said to the old woman, "Master, I didn't want to owe him, but I didn't expect that I would owe him again."
"Qing 'er, this is not the reason why I asked you to come to the Dark Forest."
As the old woman's voice faded, it caused the surrounding space to tremble. Her expression became a little more severe as she said, "I shouldn't have let you come here. This is my mistake. Now, come back with me."
"Master …" Dongli Qingqing seemed to want to say something.
The old woman interrupted Dongli Qingqing's words. Her gaze was tightly fixed on Dongli Qingqing as she asked, "Qing 'er, could it be that you have taken a liking to that brat?"
Hearing this, Dongli Qingqing's heart trembled. She lowered her eyes and a trace of light flashed in her eyes. Then, she said, "Disciple doesn't."
"That's for the best."
The old woman looked at Dongli Qingqing. Her fierce gaze swept across her as she said, "You should know what kind of responsibility you bear. Come back with me. Don't tell me you want me to kill that brat?"
"Master, don't." Dongli Qingqing's heart trembled. She naturally knew her master's temper.
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Below the mountain peak, a dozen figures flashed. After a few flashes, they appeared in a messy pile of rocks.
These dozen people were all dressed in black. Their auras were not weak, and at least four of them were at the Pulse Spirit stage.
"Protector Min, it's the cave in front. When I unintentionally passed by this place four months ago, I felt the aura of a Spiritual Medicine inside. It should not be an ordinary Spiritual Medicine. However, the roars of Demonic Beasts were emitted, and the aura was very strong. Therefore, I did not dare to enter." A skinny large man said to a black robed old man in front of him.
"There were some people fighting here not long ago. Could it be that they were fighting over a Spiritual Medicine? Let's quickly go in and take a look."
The black robed old man scanned his surroundings. He gently waved his hand, indicating for everyone to enter the cave to investigate. Immediately, a dozen figures carefully rushed into the cave.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, just as these dozen or so people entered the cave, a stream of energy suddenly fell from the sky. Like a thunderbolt, it exploded with a loud bang, and a low energy sonic boom resounded through the cave.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
The earth shook and the mountains swayed. Violent ripples of energy swept out like a storm. It seemed to be mixed with some kind of terrifying energy. The dozen people did not even have the chance to let out a miserable cry before their life force was instantly destroyed. They did not even know how they died.
"Now, we don't owe him anything. Follow me." As the old woman's voice faded, her figure immediately rushed into the air.
"There's no time to say goodbye. You have to be well."
A helpless expression appeared on Dongli Qingqing's pretty face. After which, she looked at the cave below the mountain peak. A strand of black hair by her ear faintly moved. Her white hand gently lifted, and her figure was wrapped by a suction force as she rushed into the air. Finally, she disappeared into thin air.
"Swoosh!"
A figure hurriedly rushed out from within the cave. Looking at the sky, he seemed to faintly see a beautiful green figure disappear in the air. Following which, his gaze landed on the dozen corpses on the ground.
"Black Fiend Sect!"
The dozen corpses all had the symbol of the Black Fiend Sect. Du Shaofu's still pale face immediately turned serious.
Originally, he had thought that there were no longer any members of the Black Fiend Sect in the vicinity after leaving the mountain range. However, from the looks of it, there were still members of the Black Fiend Sect in the vicinity.
Du Shaofu was originally adjusting his breathing when he suddenly heard the astonishing tremors outside. He withdrew his hand seal and stopped his breathing. Not seeing Dongli Qingqing's figure beside him, he quickly ran out.
He did not expect to see the dozen corpses of the Black Fiend Sect outside the cave. The figure in the air should also be Dongli Qingqing.
"She should be the one who killed them. Is she leaving? That's right, she will eventually leave. However, I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future."
Du Shaofu raised his head and looked at the sky. The gaze in his eyes was a little absent-minded. After which, he lowered his eyes. A long while later, he withdrew his mind and softly muttered, "The Black Fiend Sect is really everywhere. Looks like I can't stay here any longer."
… … …
At dusk, the sun set in the west, enveloping the dark forest. As night fell, it was as if the world had suddenly fallen into darkness.
The bright moon hung in the sky, hovering in despair at the edge of the dark forest.
In the mountain range, the night wind blew slightly. The continuous stretch of towering trees rose and fell slightly. The treetops swayed slightly, casting long and unpredictable shadows in the mountain forest like ghosts.
"Roar!"
In the silent night, in the vast forest, the cries of fierce birds and beasts would occasionally come from the depths.
In a secluded valley, the night fog lingered. Between the cliffs, there was a cave that was difficult to discover.
Inside the cave, there was a faint golden light that pervaded the air. A faintly discernible tyrannical aura spread out in an extremely swift and fierce manner, causing the surrounding fierce birds and beasts to flee far away.
Inside the cave, a rather dazzling golden light accompanied by the flickering of the runes fluctuated. This invisible energy was like a materialized sound wave. In the end, it collided with the hard stone walls of the cave, causing the surrounding stone walls to tremble slightly. It was very tyrannical and fierce.
After a long time, the faint golden light turned into strands of energy and withdrew. When the last strand of energy was completely withdrawn, a purple-robed figure appeared. A purple-robed youth sat cross-legged. On his curved and handsome face, he looked a little more resolute and determined than his peers. On his slightly closed eyes, his thick eyebrows were like swords.
"Huff …"
Du Shaofu spat out a long mouthful of turbid air from his body. His tightly shut eyes slightly opened. There seemed to be a faint golden light flashing like lightning in his eyes. In the end, it quickly disappeared, and the gaze in his eyes became brighter and deeper.
"Finally, I'm fine."
Feeling the injuries in his body, Du Shaofu's still somewhat pale face could not help but reveal a trace of a smile. After recuperating for three whole days, and with the help of several elixirs, his injuries had finally recovered to about sixty to seventy percent. He could be considered to be fine.
Du Shaofu's pitch-black eyes blinked as a faint golden light flickered within them. He pondered for a moment and softly muttered, "I wonder if Xingyu and that tomboy have arrived at Tianwu Academy. I hope that nothing happened to them."
Thinking about everything that had happened recently, his eyes gradually narrowed. Dai Xingyu, the Little Tiger, and Ouyang Shuang's whereabouts were unknown. He was currently being chased by the Black Fiend Sect and had to hide everywhere. In the end, it was because he was not strong enough. If he was strong enough, he would not have ended up like this.
"Black Fiend Sect."
Slightly opening his mouth, Du Shaofu's voice was cold. A sharp glint flashed across his pitch-black eyes before he softly muttered, "Before I leave, I should properly comprehend some methods. As a Soul Symbol Master, I cannot lag behind."
"Chi la la!"
A moment later, in the valley below the cliff, Du Shaofu's hand seals changed. With a wave of his hand, a faint golden light flashed across his palm. Following which, mysterious talisman runes flew out from his back.
As Du Shaofu's hand seals changed, a faint golden light flickered. The mysterious talisman runes seemed to be constantly rearranging and changing behind his back. Amidst the myriad of changes, the aura was tyrannical and sharp. …
