224: Chapter 224 Qiyue

As Lin Qing had expected, a 9th Rank Formation might not necessarily work on this Yintian Mist Marrow; this kind of treasure might have average strength, but its peculiar properties were incomparable to ordinary Yao Beasts or Cultivators.

"I cannot transmit the Formation to you; you will have to find a way yourself."

The communication token could only transmit sound, and a Tenth Rank Formation was clearly not something that could be explained through words alone.

"Fine, I understand."

Lin Qing put away the communication token and continued to rush towards the Cangyun Mountains.

To capture the Yintian Mist Marrow, one first needed a Tenth Rank spatial sealing type Formation; a Tenth Rank Formation map was already an extremely precious treasure; even Lin Qing could not obtain one in a short period of time.

Now that he had reached the edge of the Cangyun Mountains, he decided to first go and rescue the people from the Li family; as for the matter of the Yintian Mist Marrow, it would have to wait.

Stepping into the clouds and mist, Lin Qing removed the Wanyan Spirit Pavilion robe from the outside and untied the belt binding yao shuang; at the same time, his appearance began to change, reverting to his original, younger, and more handsome face.

In any case, he would definitely fight Zhou Rulong this time and would also meet the people from the Li family, so using the identity of Xie Chen would actually be inappropriate.

After finishing his disguise, Lin Qing did not linger and rushed straight towards the direction where Zhou Rulong was; however, after only a cup of tea's time, his figure stopped once again.

Because he sensed that Junior Sister Qiyue had appeared directly in front of him, and she was rushing towards his direction, with the Yintian Mist Marrow following closely behind her.

Clearly, Junior Sister Qiyue was not doing this on purpose, because at this moment she could not yet sense Lin Qing; however, Lin Qing did not deliberately hide himself, and soon she would be able to sense him.

From the time Lin Qing and Senior Sister Tao Tao left here until Lin Qing returned again, nearly a day had passed; he had not expected that they were still entangled.

Logically speaking, since the Yintian Mist Marrow had not been able to take down Junior Sister Qiyue for such a long time, she should have been able to escape the Cangyun Mountains long ago.

It was not that Junior Sister Qiyue did not want to leave the Cangyun Mountains; the key was that she was lost at this moment; of course, the reason she and Senior Sister Tao Tao were lost was different; Junior Sister Qiyue was completely being interfered with by the Yintian Mist Marrow.

Soon, Junior Sister Qiyue arrived at a place fifty thousand li away from Lin Qing; her figure showed a slight, obvious pause, but soon she continued to rush over; at the same time, Lin Qing also received her Divine Thought transmission.

"Lin Qing, can you save me?"

Having been entangled with the Yintian Mist Marrow for so long, Junior Sister Qiyue naturally had already figured out its strength; moreover, previously in the Kunxu Secret Realm, she had personally seen Lin Qing make a move against a 9th Rank Peak from the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Junior Sister Qiyue knew that Lin Qing's strength was greater than the giant snake behind her; if he were willing to make a move, he would definitely be able to save her; thinking back to when they were in the Secret Realm, Lin Qing had not pursued and killed them, the Disciples of the super factions, so Junior Sister Qiyue decided to take a gamble.

"Not saving you!"

Although the Yintian Mist Marrow had been led by Lin Qing onto the heads of Junior Sister Qiyue and her group, Lin Qing had no sense of guilt; his reply was even faster and more decisive than Junior Sister Qiyue had imagined; he hadn't even gone through the conventional process of setting conditions.

Lin Qing's unquestionable tone let Junior Sister Qiyue know that there were simply no conditions to be discussed regarding this matter; although helpless, she could only grit her teeth and change direction.

Since Lin Qing had clearly refused, she dared not approach any further; if she were only being chased by the giant snake behind her, she might still have a glimmer of survival, but if she were to provoke Lin Qing, she would definitely die quite quickly.

Even Junior Sister Qiyue could sense Lin Qing, so the Yintian Mist Marrow naturally could as well; however, what surprised Lin Qing a little was that when Junior Sister Qiyue changed direction, the Yintian Mist Marrow also immediately changed direction, not even glancing at Lin Qing.

According to common sense, the Yintian Mist Marrow had chased Junior Sister Qiyue for a day without catching her; at this moment, with Lin Qing standing still, it should have changed its target; at the very least, it should have hesitated, but it did not.

Lin Qing lowered his head and began to ponder; at the very beginning, the Yintian Mist Marrow had chased him and Senior Sister Tao Tao; later, after discovering Junior Sister Qiyue and her group, it had immediately changed its target; but now, encountering Lin Qing, who was clearly easier to deal with, its target had not changed again.

"Damn! This Yintian Mist Marrow wouldn't happen to like beauties, would it?"

The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case; if that were so, then he could actually save Junior Sister Qiyue.

Even if Lin Qing obtained a Tenth Rank spatial sealing Formation later, he would not be able to set it up instantly during a battle; therefore, he could only set up the Formation in advance and then lure the Yintian Mist Marrow over; at that time, Junior Sister Qiyue might be a good bait.

After making his decision, the light on yao shuang on Lin Qing's body flashed again; the next instant, he appeared between the Yintian Mist Marrow and Junior Sister Qiyue.

"Lin Qing!"

Junior Sister Qiyue exclaimed, immediately stopping her figure and coming behind Lin Qing; the cold expression on her face could no longer be maintained, replaced by undisguised surprise.

Lin Qing's sudden appearance made the Yintian Mist Marrow pause for a moment, but soon it continued forward, its massive snake head slamming straight towards Lin Qing.

Lin Qing did not choose to dodge; he stood in the air, his right leg stepped back and straightened, his left leg bent at the knee and pressed down, and his right hand formed a fist, retracted to his flank; when the giant snake arrived close by, his body rotated slightly, and his right fist thrust out violently.

"Hiss—!"

The giant snake let out a painful hiss; the shockwaves generated by the collision spread outwards, and soon the sound of rolling rocks could be heard; even the clouds and mist in the area appeared to have a vacuum for a fleeting moment, before quickly gathering again.

Lin Qing slowly straightened his body and then nodded with satisfaction; a simple warm-up before fighting Zhou Rulong.

The giant snake seemed as if it had been stunned, only caring about rolling on the ground; Lin Qing watched quietly and did not continue to attack; he knew that he could not keep the giant snake here now.

The giant snake rolled for quite a while before it recovered; after taking a deep look at Lin Qing, its body exploded with a bang and then merged into the surrounding clouds and mist, completely disappearing from Lin Qing's perception.

Only then did Lin Qing turn around and glance at Junior Sister Qiyue; Junior Sister Qiyue immediately wanted to bow and thank him, but she was directly interrupted by Lin Qing's cold voice.

"Follow me."

Although Junior Sister Qiyue had doubts in her heart, she dared not disobey and could only follow Lin Qing; the two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed towards the mountain stream where Zhou Rulong was located.

When they were still fifty thousand li away from the mountain stream, Lin Qing arrogantly spread his Divine Thought over, announcing his arrival.

Zhou Rulong's Divine Thought coverage range was about the same as Lin Qing's; after detecting this Divine Thought, he immediately tracked it in reverse and saw Lin Qing, who was rushing towards the mountain stream; then, he stood up from the ground, gazing in Lin Qing's direction, quietly waiting for his arrival.

Soon, Lin Qing arrived above the mountain stream; he looked down at Zhou Rulong; their gazes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Zhou Rulong's face; he beckoned with his right hand to the side, and a giant tree in the mountain stream moved horizontally several zhang in an eerie manner; subsequently, an invisible ripple spread in all directions—the Formation had taken shape!

"Lin Qing, this is a Tenth Rank spatial sealing Formation that I obtained at a great cost; today, only one of the two of us can walk out of here."

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow, an irrepressible, brilliant smile on his face.

"Very good, the Formation map is still on you, right?"
