76: Chapter 70 Infiltration Plan_2

76 -70 Infiltration Plan_2

Many ancient texts that recorded the disaster that once plagued the entire world still circulate to this day, and Xu Changtian had naturally read some of them.

Therefore, he knew what these evil spirits were, and what these rifts were.

Just like how ink quickly diffuses through clear water, once a rift created by the corruption of evil spirits emerged, this strange blood fog would continuously erode and pollute everything within the space.

Of course, such erosion and pollution were concerning to the human race.

While the ghost fog spelled doom for the human race, it was paradise for demonic beasts and evil spirits.

Those ancient evil spirits thrived in the environment of a rift.

With that in mind, Qin Weijiu sighed slightly,

“It’s actually a secret realm breached by evil spirits, such a pity.”

This rift’s blood fog could corrupt spiritual herbs and various cultivation resources.

If a cultivator used them directly without proper handling, they could become ghostified.

Of course, it is possible to cleanse a rift.

The only issue was that this secret realm was located in Jingjiang Prefecture, and it would be difficult to reach into Jingjiang Prefecture from where they were.

In other words, they could only abandon this secret realm.

Yu Lan looked around and asked directly,

“Do we leave right now, or do we destroy it?”

The threat of evil spirits was immense.

If the mutated demonic beasts within this area of the secret realm were released, they could decimate the life of at least one city.

Scanning the gargantuan shadows hidden in the blood fog that filled the sky, Qin Weijiu’s lips curled into a somewhat sentimental smile.

This was his first time witnessing the sights within a rift.

Demonic beasts altered and corrupted by evil spirits, granted eternal life, yet nothing more than walking corpses.

After a long contemplation, Qin Weijiu shook his head slightly,

“Let’s leave it be for now.

That Qin Mo might come back.

As for leaving…

there’s no need to leave right now.

The Saint guided that youngster Qin Mo into this secret realm; there must be something within this realm that we can use. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Let’s search deeper.

If we don’t find anything within three days, we’ll leave and look out for Qin Mo.”

“Alright.”

…..

Outside Changhong Valley,

“Achoo!”

A sneeze echoed through the dense forest.

Qin Mo, who was clearing a path with the Ancient Ingot Long Knife in hand, suddenly stopped and rubbed his nose, muttering with a frown,

“Why do I feel somewhat restless lately?”

Just as his voice trailed off, a slightly teasing middle-aged male voice resonated in the depths of his heart,

“Restless?

Are you worried that someone else will get their hands on the Enchantress Divine Physique first?

I’ve told you to relax, Xu Changtian won’t even be able to touch a finger of hers.”

Upon hearing this voice, Qin Mo did not dwell on the content but his eyes brightened as he asked,

“Old man, when did you wake up?”

Ever since he had obtained that lifesaving treasure, the old man had been silent.

Qin Mo, who had become accustomed to the old man’s nagging, found it uncomfortable without it, and was genuinely pleased to hear his voice again.

The middle-aged man’s mood also seemed to be good,

“Just woke up.

What, did you miss me as your teacher?”

“I never accepted you as my teacher,” Qin Mo retorted.

The deep middle-aged voice chuckled,

“Practicing my cultivation technique, taking the Elixir Medicines I left behind, and all the martial skills I taught you, now I even have to ensure your safety, if that’s not a master, what is?

Ha, back in the day, countless people kneeled and begged me to take them as disciples.

You, on the other hand, are fortune’s fool…”

Qin Mo laughed and replied,

“Alright, alright, I know you’re great, old man.”

“Heh…”

The middle-aged man’s voice was light and laughing, then he turned to ask, “Are you planning to return to Jingjiang City now?”

Qin Mo was slightly silent before replying in a low voice, “Yes, I might need your help, old man.”

Realizing Qin Mo’s intentions to save his damsel, the man’s tone was leisurely,

“How do you want me to help?

A frontal assault?

A mere Third Grade isn’t a concern, but there are other formations in the city that may prevent a prolonged stay.”

Qin Mo smiled faintly, “Of course not, I’m planning to sneak into the Xu Residence silently and rescue Jin Xuan.”

The middle-aged man responded casually upon hearing this,

“You want me to help you conceal your presence?

That shouldn’t be hard.”

Qin Mo was silent for two seconds, his tone serious,

“Thank you.”

The deep voice of the middle-aged man carried a hint of a smile,

“No need for thanks, if you really want to thank me, then call me ‘master’ just once…”

But he was cut off mid-sentence as he paused abruptly.

The next moment, his voice sped up,

“Someone’s coming!

Remember, don’t talk to me!”

With that, the middle-aged man’s voice went completely silent without waiting for Qin Mo’s reaction.

Caught off guard, Qin Mo was momentarily dazed, not understanding what had happened, nor why the old man’s voice had suddenly become so urgent.

As he was pondering,

“Swish…”

Qin Mo’s head was suddenly topped by a dense canopy that emitted a rustling sound.

And then,

a figure clad in ink-black clothes appeared before Qin Mo.

The sudden appearance made Qin Mo’s pupils constrict slightly as he instinctively took a half step back.

It was a woman.

Her face was veiled in black, masking her features, with a curvaceous figure, and her long, black hair like a waterfall cascaded down her back.

She held a Three-foot Black Sword in her hand and carried a bulging travel bag on her back.

Her serene and unchanging eyes were as ancient and cold as a deep pool.

The sunlight filtering through the canopy fell upon her, serene and beautiful.

The woman in black nodded toward Qin Mo across from her and spoke in a low voice, her tone as serene as her gaze:

“Um…

excuse me, do you know the way to Jingjiang City?”

“…” Qin Mo.

What?

All this just to ask for directions?

Qin Mo’s eyes held a trace of wariness as he replied in a soft voice:

“I do.”

Upon hearing this, a flash of light passed through the woman’s tranquil eyes, but her tone remained flat:

“Could you tell me how to get there?”

Qin Mo was silent for a moment, looked up to discern the direction, and pointed east, saying in a low voice:

“From here, it’s less than two days’ travel to arrive.”

The woman gave a slight nod, silently reached into her travel bag, and took out a few pieces of silver, bending over to place them on the ground:

“Thank you.”

After she finished speaking,

“Whoosh—”

The woman suddenly vanished as abruptly as she had come.

The forest returned to silence, and Qin Mo stood quietly for a long time; he quietly walked over and picked up the silver.

At that moment, the previously inaudible voice of the middle-aged man resurfaced slowly:

“Quite formidable.”

“What?” Qin Mo placed the silver into his chest.

The middle-aged man’s voice carried a hint of reminiscence:

“This young girl is not even twenty-nine but has already reached Great Grandmaster status, her cultivation speed is even faster than mine was.”

Shock struck Qin Mo’s heart: “A Great Grandmaster before eighteen?”

“Heh…”

The middle-aged man’s voice suddenly chuckled:

“Don’t be so surprised.

The world is vast, vast enough that geniuses are as common as the hairs on a cow.

“Of course, a girl like the one just now is, in any era, surely one of the few who stand out in her generation.”

“…”

Hearing this, Qin Mo’s heart felt inexplicably heavy as he looked down at the knife in his hand.

At a similar age, he had only just entered Seventh Grade, while she was already at the Third Grade of the Grandmaster Realm.

Sensing Qin Mo’s mood, the middle-aged man’s voice came with gentle consolation:

“Don’t belittle yourself.

You are accumulating depth to have a sudden rise.

Besides, you’ve cultivated my technique, and your future achievements will definitely not be smaller than that girl’s.”

Qin Mo let out a long sigh:

“Okay, good.”

The middle-aged man saw his reaction and didn’t push further, instead, he laughed and said:

“By the way, lad, why did you not join her?

You’re heading to Jingjiang City anyway.

It would have been beneficial for your future to form an association with such a woman.”

“Wouldn’t traveling together with her expose you?”

“Of course not, I just wouldn’t be able to communicate with you.”

“….”

Qin Mo was silent for several breaths before suddenly speaking:

“Actually, I did consider traveling with her, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that if I were to go to Jingjiang City with her, I would be in danger.”

The middle-aged man’s voice expressed a touch of surprise: “Why?

Her behavior just now obviously doesn’t make her a villain.”

She asked for directions, even offered silver.

Qin Mo shook his head:

“Not sure, but I can’t shake this inexplicable sense of discomfort.”

The middle-aged man sighed deeply:

“Being cautious is good.

When weak, it’s best to not wander in front of stronger individuals; even a minor offense could lead to being killed.

“Alright, I’ll continue my rest.

You hasten on your journey, I’ll awaken once you enter Jingjiang City.”
