Incomprehensible actions
Therefore, for Zhong Qing, Demon City was a place of Opportunity, but also a place of sorrow.
So, when he finally left, he couldn't quite describe his feelings; they were just very complex.
The group exited the Demon City.
They transformed into streaks of light, soaring through the clouds like lightning.
Compared to their leisurely journey from the Eastern Domain to the Northern Domain, their return speed was several times faster.
Moreover, it was noticeably livelier.
Bai Ling and Scarecrow were accompanying them, and the Twelve Demon Generals were restless.
They chattered all the way, their spirits high, discussing everything from ancient times to the present, full of vitality.
The Earth Bull Demon and Azure Dragon Horse, in contrast, were much quieter, like little transparent figures.
The group traversed mountains and rivers, crossing great rivers and ridges.
Looking at the mountains, rivers, and vast lands below, Zhong Qing's mood also began to improve significantly.
"Master, aren't we returning to the Immortal River Sect in the Eastern Domain? This direction doesn't seem to lead to the Eastern Domain."
On the cloud, Bai Ling looked at their direction of travel and asked, puzzled.
Zhong Qing took a sip of wine.
He sighed, "I told you before that I took in a third Disciple before you."
"That kid hasn't been to the Sect yet."
"On this trip, we'll take him back to get familiar with the Sect."
As the two were speaking!
On a snow-covered mountain range dozens of miles away from them!
A life-and-death chase was unfolding!
"Stop, don't run!"
Above the vast snowy mountains, heavy snow fell, and the world was a vast expanse of white.
Shouts of fighting and killing echoed through the clouds.
A group of Cultivators surrounded a young man from all directions.
This man wore a gray robe.
He had a sturdy build, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and his long hair was tied into a topknot.
He looked quite unique.
The man himself was as slippery as an eel; even when deeply surrounded, he darted left and right, making it impossible for anyone to lay a hand on him.
This person was none other than Du Hao, Zhong Qing's third Disciple!
Du Hao looked back at the people chasing him.
His brow furrowed slightly in distress!
He said in a clear voice, "Fellow Daoists, we have no past grievances or recent enmities, why pursue me so relentlessly?"
Behind him, the Tian Dao Sect Sect Master said with a hateful voice.
"Kid, your grandpa finally returned alive from the Demon City after much difficulty."
"Within that Demon City, there were countless dangers, and several major transcendent forces suffered great losses."
"My Tian Dao Sect found some Opportunity, discovered a Secret Realm, and plundered some treasures."
"How did these treasures, which we risked our lives to retrieve, end up in your hands?"
"They say that blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents."
"It's not easy for the Tian Dao Sect to earn cultivation resources, but you, fellow, actually stole treasures from me."
"And you still dare to say we have no past grievances or recent enmities?"
Hearing this!
Du Hao cried out a great injustice.
"Fellow Daoist, can I tell you that today I was walking peacefully in the mountains when suddenly a Storage Pouch fell from the sky in front of me?"
"I didn't dare to touch that treasure that fell from the sky at all!"
"I was just afraid of getting into some trouble!"
"Moreover, didn't you pick up that Storage Pouch in the end anyway?"
"Since no one has lost anything, how about we just drop this matter?"
Du Hao tried to negotiate while fleeing.
The Tian Dao Sect Sect Master, leading his Disciples, pursued relentlessly and sneered.
"Silver-tongued, still trying to argue."
"It's clearly you, fellow, who, by some means, stole the Storage Pouch from me, and when I discovered it, you falsely claimed it fell in front of you."
"If your luck is really that good, then let another Storage Pouch fall from the sky for me to see!"
As soon as his words fell!
A Storage Pouch fell from the sky.
It landed right in Du Hao's hand.
For a moment!
Both the pursuers and the pursued fell silent.
Du Hao was overjoyed.
He pointed at the Storage Pouch in his hand, which was emitting a radiant glow, and said.
"See, I wasn't lying!"
"I've always been particularly lucky since I was a child."
"I always pick up treasures just by walking."
"That Storage Pouch wasn't stolen by me; it fell in front of me."
"Now you should believe me, right!"
Hearing this, for some reason, everyone present was quite annoyed!
The Tian Dao Sect, in the Northern Domain, was not considered a major force.
Even their Sect Master was only at the Late Stage of the Tianxuan Realm.
To obtain a meager amount of cultivation resources.
They even ventured into a dangerous place like the Demon City.
They were truly a representation of those driven mad by poverty.
But now?
Someone told them that he was particularly lucky and could pick up treasures just by walking.
What was this?
Bragging?
"Kill him!"
"I hate weaklings weaker than me showing off in front of me the most."
The Tian Dao Sect Sect Master's mentality was on the verge of collapsing.
At the same time, his eyes flickered with greed.
Regardless of whether Du Hao's words were true or not.
Just by looking at the Storage Pouch in his hand, whose treasure light was almost overflowing.
He knew that there must be a great treasure inside.
They say wealth moves the heart, and treasures captivate the soul.
At this moment, whether his own Storage Pouch was stolen by the other party was no longer important.
He just wanted to kill this kid in front of him.
And then inherit his legacy.
As the Tian Dao Sect Sect Master's words fell.
All the Tian Dao Sect members, with red eyes, charged at Du Hao.
The greed in their eyes intensified.
Clearly, in their eyes, Du Hao had become a fat sheep.
"Boom!"
For a time, sword light flashed, and killing intent spread rampantly.
Terrifying spiritual power dispersed the clouds and shattered the forest.
Du Hao's face darkened a little.
"Are you kidding me? I already said the Storage Pouch wasn't stolen by me, and you still want to attack."
He let out a strange cry and then took off running.
He began to dodge the killing moves.
However, there were too many people attacking him.
There were hundreds of them.
Moreover, there were four Cultivators in the Tianxuan Realm alone.
Even though he himself was quite extraordinary.
He even possessed a Hegemonic Body.
Still, a wound was torn open on his little thumb by the Qi force.
Du Hao used his Escape to create enough distance from this group of people.
A look of lingering fear appeared on his face.
Just now, he almost died.
Upon seeing the wound on his little finger, his expression changed even more.
"As someone who follows the Dao of caution, I should always keep myself in Peak condition; how can I get injured?"
"If I encounter a life-and-death struggle where the opponents are evenly matched, even a small injury can be the key to victory or defeat."
He immediately gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.
He started doing sit-ups on the spot, while shouting, "Oli Ge!"
In an instant, the one-centimeter-long wound on his little thumb began to heal.
In just a breath's time.
His little finger was as smooth as before, showing no sign of injury at all.
Du Hao waved his hand, feeling no abnormality whatsoever.
He couldn't help but gasp in his heart.
"The method taught by Master is truly terrifying!"
However, because of this delay, the Tian Dao Sect people caught up again.
At the same time, their gazes towards him were filled with strangeness.
Their eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot!
They couldn't understand at all!
How could there be such a foolish person in the world?
In the midst of a life-and-death chase, he suddenly made a strange movement and then uttered a strange slogan.
Incomprehensible!
But greatly shocking.
