188: Give up waiting, two old dogs

Yun Churan suddenly bent her knees and knelt in mid-air.

She bowed respectfully to Jade Valley Autumn.

"Disciple thanks Revered Master for your great kindness!"

Jade Valley Autumn quickly helped her up, "Silly girl, why be so polite between us? This place is not suitable for long stays; let's go to the Golden Turtle Market first."

The Yan Family members died here.

This will definitely attract an investigation.

If a Yan Family Body Integration Realm Cultivator arrives, Jade Valley Autumn, whose cultivation had greatly advanced, would certainly be confident in escaping alone.

However, at this moment, she also had Yun Churan and Su Xuan by her side.

Escaping with others

is completely different from escaping alone.

To avoid any further accidents, Jade Valley Autumn also called Yun Churan and Su Xuan to hurry towards the Golden Turtle Market together.

On the other side, on the southern coast of Golden Turtle Island, Yan Qiu had been waiting for a long time, but Zhou Qing had not returned.

He couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Could something have happened?"

A Late Stage Returning Void Realm Cultivator capturing a Soul Transformation Realm and a Nascent Soul Realm little girl should have been a piece of cake.

Could it be that during the operation, he happened to encounter a kind and powerful expert passing by?

But Zhou Qing wasn't stupid.

He would definitely announce the Yan Family's name.

Although there are five Mahayana Realm forces on Golden Turtle Island, only two of them are slightly stronger than the Yan Family.

Even if these two families heard the Yan Family's name, they would definitely show some respect.

But...

"This trash, why hasn't he returned yet!"

Yan Qiu felt that if he waited any longer, he would get angry.

But he had to wait even if he didn't want to.

Zhou Qing's life and death were unknown, and he was nowhere to be seen.

He couldn't possibly return to Qing Shi Island alone, could he?

Thus, another half a day passed.

From noon to dusk and then to nightfall, after such a long time, Zhou Qing still hadn't returned, and Yan Qiu knew that he had probably met with misfortune.

Looking at the deep forest to the north, Yan Qiu took out a small spirit boat, boarded it, and left Golden Turtle Island, heading towards Qing Shi Island in the east.

The distance between the two islands was not very far, so there was no need to wait for or take a spirit ship.

As for entering Golden Turtle Island to search for Zhou Qing, Yan Qiu stated that he wasn't that foolish.

Even a Late Stage Returning Void Realm Cultivator had fallen there.

The enemy's strength must be extraordinary.

If he went, it would just be sending himself to his death.

It would be better to quickly return to the Family and check Zhou Qing's soul lamp to confirm his life and death.

If he was truly dead, then he would seek the Family's help to investigate the murderer on Golden Turtle Island.

Anyone who dared to kill a member of his Yan Family, even if it was just a servant of the Yan Family, was equivalent to slapping the Yan Family's face.

They definitely couldn't be let off easily.

What Yan Qiu didn't know was that the person who killed Zhou Qing already had an irreconcilable, monstrous hatred with the Yan Family.

At this moment, two Body Integration Realm powerful Cultivators from the Yan Family were searching Golden Turtle Island for Jade Valley Autumn's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Golden Turtle Island was so vast that finding one person was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Outside the Golden Turtle Market, two figures, one in green and one in black, stood side by side in mid-air.

The green-robed Cultivator was named Yan Feihong, and the black-robed Cultivator was named Yan Ji.

Both of them were currently looking at the gate of the Golden Turtle Market.

Yan Ji was the first to speak.

"I estimate that the hussy must be staying in the Golden Turtle Market."

This massive Cultivation Market was jointly built, maintained, suppressed, and operated by the five Mahayana Realm forces on Golden Turtle Island.

It was precisely because of the backing of such powerful entities that the scale of this Market could gradually expand, as transactions were guaranteed, and safety was ensured.

Everyone was willing to settle down and trade in this Market.

Yan Feihong remained silent upon hearing this.

Yan Ji then turned to look at him and asked, "What now? If that hussy stays in this Market for a thousand or ten thousand years, are we just going to wait here indefinitely?"

Yan Feihong glanced at him upon hearing this.

"Otherwise?"

"Return to the clan and be punished by the Young Lord?"

Yan Feihong's cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Body Integration, while Yan Ji had just broken through to the Early Stage of Body Integration.

Therefore, their actions were often led by Yan Feihong.

Upon hearing his rhetorical question, Yan Ji immediately recalled Yan Chuan's torturous methods and couldn't help but shiver, falling silent.

Yan Feihong continued, "Precisely, let's take advantage of this interval and rent a Cultivation room in the Golden Turtle Market to Cultivate temporarily."

"If the Young Lord asks, just say that the hussy is hiding in the Golden Turtle Market and let him figure out a solution."

"As for whether he can come up with a solution, it has nothing to do with you and me."

"No matter what, we are also Body Integration Realm Cultivators of the Family, a great help to the Young Lord. He won't do anything to us. In the Cultivation world, strength is the foundation of everything. You should understand this point."

This last sentence also enlightened Yan Ji.

Indeed, in the Cultivation world, one's personal cultivation Realm and combat strength are the foundation for having a say.

Relying on others is ultimately a last resort.

If his current Realm had reached the Mahayana Stage, even if he was just from a branch of the Yan Family, with his powerful strength, he would still be able to enter the high ranks and control the Family's power, without needing to fear Yan Chuan anymore or having to busy himself for him.

He could only say that he was ultimately too weak.

Yan Ji nodded in agreement towards Yan Feihong.

"Now, this is the only way."

With that, he prepared to enter the Golden Turtle Market, but just as the thought arose, Yan Feihong, who was beside him, suddenly looked serious and shouted, "Wait, wait!"

"South, it's that hussy's Qi!"

"She's coming this way, not yet inside the Market!"

But it was almost time.

If they didn't intercept her quickly, this excellent opportunity would be missed.

As soon as his voice fell, Yan Feihong's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light and sped south to meet Jade Valley Autumn.

The moment Yan Feihong spoke, Yan Ji's Divine Sense swept towards the south.

When he captured the familiar Qi of the hussy he had longed for day and night, his face instantly lit up with wild joy.

He immediately followed Yan Feihong.

On the other side, Jade Valley Autumn, with Yun Churan and Su Xuan, was about to reach the entrance of the Golden Turtle Market when two familiar auras, brazenly probing her body, suddenly made her face change drastically.

Without a word, she immediately summoned the Lian Tian Meng.

The blood-colored bowl instantly expanded, enveloping the three women.

Immediately after, Jade Valley Autumn also used a secret technique to flee frantically towards the Golden Turtle Market.

She gnashed her teeth and muttered angrily to herself, "These two old dogs, their noses are really sharp; they actually found me."
