Chapter 163: A pile of strange rocks

Everyone was somewhat moved and silent.

Mo Jiuwei, however, looked into the lake twice more.

[There are good things in here. ]

[But I don't have time to deal with it now. It's more important to find my senior brother. ]

[Hehe, I have a Nascent Soul Senior Brother too! When I rescue him, I will have him fly me high on his sword. It will definitely be much faster than a flying boat!]

Everyone: ...

They were still immersed in sadness, but Mo Jiuwei was smiling foolishly.

Does this mean that my brother's situation is not that bad?

But everyone still can't avoid worrying.

"I've got the stuff, but I don't know what Senior Brother's situation is now..." Hu Jiu thought of the Qiankun bag and sighed, "I suspect he doesn't have any recovery medicine on hand."

They did not touch the things in Qi Heng's Qiankun bag, nor did they even look at it. Even if they looked, they would not be able to estimate what Qi Heng kept or what he used.

But considering that he actually left behind his Qiankun bag, he probably wouldn't leave too many things behind, including supplies for his escape.

"Senior Brother Qi is not stupid. Cultivation is not easy. He finally reached the Nascent Soul stage. He will definitely try his best and will not give up his life easily." Du Yue said, "Isn't his life card still good? We have to believe in him."

"Don't be afraid, live!" Mo Jiuwei said.

Ling Qing hummed, "Don't worry too much, your brother will be safe, but let's continue on our way."

Everyone regrouped and hit the road again.

Hu Jiu glanced at the fate cards from time to time. Although other people were concentrating on their journey, they were also full of anxiety.

Qi Heng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, which was a very good thing for the Xianlai Sect, because the cultivation below the Nascent Soul stage was not enough to support a sect. Only when there were at least two Nascent Soul cultivators could the sect be considered legitimate.

I can't say it's that great, but at least I won't be laughed at.

Qi Heng has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Although Liu Feng is still at the Golden Core stage, his cultivation speed is very fast, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

So no matter whether it is because of personal friendship or for the sake of the justice of the sect, Qi Heng must be protected!

If anything happened to him, it would be a huge blow to the entire sect.

Cangming Plain, a pile of strange rocks.

The pile of strange rocks is a very daunting terrain in Cangmingyuan. It is composed of many large rocks that are two people tall. The rocks are fat, thin, tall, and short, but generally taller than a person.

These piles of rocks cover a large area and are divided into many small paths. It is easy to get lost once you enter the piles of rocks. Many people have been trapped and died here after mistakenly entering.

At this moment, there was a cold-faced male cultivator leaning against a boulder, gasping heavily.

He had many wounds on his body, all caused by the besieging monks using various magical weapons and talismans. There were wounds from explosions, and some from knives and swords.

These injuries were distributed all over the body, even on the face and neck, but the most serious one was caused by a hidden weapon.

Qi Heng lowered his head to look at his chest, where the tip of a spear was exposed and blood was dripping down.

His clothes were already covered in blood and were unbearable to look at. From time to time, Qi Heng would cast a spell on himself to make his clothes clean.

Although the cleanliness is only temporary, and it will be soaked with blood again after a while, at least the smell will be lighter.

There are many monsters in this stone forest.

The monks were afraid of the piles of strange rocks and dared not move forward easily, but this place happened to become a paradise for some monsters.

Once night falls, there are more poisonous snakes and insects.

Qi Heng stuffed the bottle of pills in his hand into his lapel.

The pill bottle had been emptied long ago, but he didn't dare throw it around as it might expose his whereabouts.

His whole body was in pain, and the loss of blood made him feel cold. He almost collapsed between the ground and the boulder, not wanting to move at all.

Ten years ago, when he was preparing to return home, he suddenly had an epiphany when passing through Cangmingyuan. So he didn't bother to hurry on his way, and quickly found a remote and deserted cave. He set up a formation outside the cave to prevent people from accidentally entering, and then began to retreat.

He himself did not expect that this retreat would last for ten years. The entrance to the cave was completely blocked by lush plants, making it impossible for anyone to detect his presence.

Until he broke through!

The breakthrough made a lot of noise, and some monks came near, but it was nothing, everyone came just to watch the fun.

So Qi Heng had no plan to hide. After he came out of the cave, he wanted to leave this place quickly, go home first, and then return to the sect.

But who knew that as soon as he came out, he felt something rubbing against his neck. He grabbed it without thinking, and then found that it was the Yi Ling vine!

At the same time, those monks heard the noise and came over, and witnessed him grabbing the Yi Ling vine with their own eyes!

Qi Heng wanted to smile bitterly when he recalled it, but he had no strength.

What bad luck he has!

He didn't even have the chance to rejoice over his reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but his life was about to be lost here. He didn't know how sad his master would be when they found out.

I hope they can find the marks they left behind and find the Qiankun bag.

"Where are the people?"

"We all saw the dripping blood. It hasn't dried yet. He must not have gone far."

"Pah, what a lousy place this is, it's all stone!"

"Let's search separately. I have a flag here. Look at the flag and come closer to me."

"Okay, your flag is really useful on the rock pile."

This flag is an offensive weapon, but it is a bit useless. It is clumsy to control and not sensitive enough.

But it is big enough that its small yellow tip can be seen among the pile of rocks, making it easy to find people and gather.

So the group of six dispersed and searched for Qi Heng's trace in various small roads.

Qi Heng held the long chain in his hand and closed his eyes.

He could hear these people talking, which meant they were very close to him and it was only a matter of time before they came to find him.

These six people were originally a team of eight. They were the first to discover Qi Heng and Yi Lingteng. However, two of them were killed by Qi Heng, leaving only six people.

After the death, the six people became more united in anger and vowed to find Qi Heng and kill him for revenge. They chased him relentlessly all the way and left many injuries on him.

"Hmph, I advise you to come out on your own and hand over the Yi Ling vine to us obediently. Maybe we will be merciful and spare your life." One of them said, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

"That's right. This is a pile of strange rocks. Coming in is a dead end. Just stop struggling." Someone echoed, but the voice was relatively far away.

Qi Heng held his breath and tried hard not to faint from blood loss.

Hand over the Yi Ling Teng? This is naturally impossible, because it has been left to the sect.
