252: Chapter 252 Qingyan Lion

"Let's go to the exit first."

Lin Qing actually did not plan to give up. These Yao Beast Materials were too important to him; they were the guarantee of the safety of everyone in the Cloud Origin Immortal Sect and even the entire Dongxuan.

If there was no such Formation, if the Central Continent launched a war against Dongxuan, it would definitely cause the deaths of a large number of Cultivators. By then, Lin Qing might not be sad to the point of being unable to accept it, but it would ultimately be a thorn stuck in his heart.

Lin Qing did not overestimate his own value. To those Divine Venerables who had already reached the Peak of this continent, Lin Qing was the guarantee for them to continue their Breakthrough.

In order to obtain Lin Qing, destroying Dongxuan was a trivial matter to them. Even if necessary, they could not care less about all the living beings in the Central Continent. This was the most normal mindset of the strong.

Right now, Lin Qing planned to stay in the Secret Realm to continue searching, but the strength and methods of Zhang Wang and the other were ultimately a bit weak. Not only would they be unable to provide help when encountering real battles, but instead they would also increase the possibility of being targeted by Yao Beasts.

Therefore, Lin Qing planned to send them out of the Secret Realm first. Although they were at the Early Stage of Level 11, if they were not escorted by Lin Qing, they might not necessarily be able to safely walk out of here.

After all, the three of them previously relied on Lin Qing's Divine Thought for detection to discover those Level 11 Yao Beasts in advance and then take a detour to avoid them. If they were to do it themselves, by the time they discovered those Yao Beasts, those Yao Beasts might already be on their way over.

In order to search a bit more, the three did not return along the original path. During the previous search, because they had to avoid some meaningless battles, the detection route of the three was not a straight line. Even if they did not return by the original path, it would not waste too much time.

Thus, on the way back, Zhang Wang and the other saw Lin Qing in front suddenly stop.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what is wrong?"

Lin Qing cast his gaze diagonally downward. In his Divine Thought perception, a Yao Beast about a thousand zhang in length and shaped like a lion was sleeping in an underground cave. It was precisely the Qingyan Beast.

"Found it!"

Zhang Wang and the other also brightened up in spirit. The Qingyan Beast was the common goal of them and Lin Qing. They issued a bounty in Qingai City and followed Lin Qing deep into the Southern Territory. Naturally, the Qingyan Beast was also extremely important to them.

The three said no more, only adjusting their direction and pouncing straight toward the Qingyan Beast.

Because the Qingyan Beast stayed underground, and the penetration of Divine Thought into the earth was not strong, when Lin Qing discovered the Qingyan Beast, the distance between the two sides was actually not far anymore. In just a short moment, the three arrived directly above where the Qingyan Beast was located.

On the way over, the Qingyan Beast naturally also discovered Lin Qing and the others. Although it was surprised at why Lin Qing could have such speed and Divine Thought with merely Tenth Rank cultivation, after all, it was only the Tenth Rank. The Qingyan Beast did not choose to escape. Instead, because it saw Zhang Wang and the other, with whom it had crossed paths, intense killing intent erupted in its eyes.

If Lin Qing intentionally concealed his cultivation, the Qingyan Beast naturally could not see through it. At this moment, he merely did so deliberately to prevent the Qingyan Beast from fleeing. This Secret Realm was too bizarre; if it were allowed to run a little extra distance, it might disturb other Level 11 existences.

The Qingyan Beast was truly as expected. Not only did it not escape, but it also charged directly out of the ground, letting out a roar toward the three. The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

But Lin Qing did not intend to give the Qingyan Beast a hearty battle. Under the current circumstances, it was better to make a quick decision and resolve it swiftly.

Lin Qing stood in the Void Realm, lightning flashing all over his body, and even his eyes shooting out purple light. He made a grasping motion with his right hand in the air, and a lightning spear gradually took form in his hand.

When facing some oversized Yao Beasts, activating the Dharma Form could indeed allow better performance, but the Qingyan Beast was only a thousand zhang in size, and its strength was far inferior to Lin Qing's, being only at the Middle Stage of Level 11. Therefore, Lin Qing did not activate his Dharma Form state.

Feeling the terrifying might emanating from Lin Qing's body, the Qingyan Beast felt a trace of unease. It let out another roar toward the three, and at the same time, the ground in the area where it was located began to vibrate, with rocks tens to a hundred zhang in diameter bursting out of the earth.

But facing Lin Qing, who did not want to drag out the fight, how could the Qingyan Beast possibly have a chance to counterattack? The moment those rocks just left the ground and were about to smash toward Lin Qing, a streak of purple thunder had already fallen a step earlier.

The Qingyan Beast completely failed to make any reaction in time before the purple thunder landed between its eyebrows. In merely a split second, it drilled out from under its jaw.

Those rocks that had just left the ground fell back down. The Qingyan Beast still maintained the posture of roaring up to the sky, except that there was no longer the slightest bit of vitality in its eyes.

The joyous mood of Zhang Wang and the other was beyond words, and they were about to turn their heads to say something to Lin Qing. However, when they looked at Lin Qing, they only saw Lin Qing's solemn expression.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, what is wrong?"

The expressions of Zhang Wang and the other also inevitably grew nervous. They knew Lin Qing's strength. Even when facing that White Giant Wolf at the Peak of Level 11 previously, Lin Qing had always maintained a calm and composed appearance. Now that Lin Qing showed such a serious expression, they also realized the severity of the matter.

"Let's go out first."

Lin Qing first came to the ground, put the corpse of the Qingyan Beast back into his Storage Ring, and then came to the side of Zhang Wang and the other, directly pulling the two of them to rush toward the exit direction at full speed.

This time he no longer chose to avoid other Level 11 Yao Beasts along the way, swaggering as he transformed into a stream of light and advancing in a straight line toward the exit direction.

Actually, Lin Qing's Divine Thought did not clearly perceive any specific existence, but Ultra Instinct had already transmitted a crisis warning to him, and that kind of warning was very strong, indicating that a terrifying existence had truly and solidly targeted him.

Nowadays, the only thing that could make Ultra Instinct issue this kind of warning could only be an existence of the Divine Sovereign Realm. Although Lin Qing's Divine Thought far surpassed those of the same level, after all, it only had the standard of ordinary Peak Level 11, naturally falling a notch short compared to a real Divine Venerable.

Therefore, when a Divine Venerable targeted him from a distance of over 100 million miles away, he could not reversely lock back onto it.

At the same time, at a location 150 million miles away from Lin Qing and the others, a continuous low roaring sound came from beneath the earth, and the bulging ground continuously spread toward the direction where Lin Qing and the others were located, obviously indicating that a Yao Beast was rapidly traveling underground.

The size of the Yao Beast was unknown, but after it passed by, it formed an arched trajectory on the ground, and the diameter of this trajectory was a full four hundred miles.
