You can't keep me safe

Wu Yun was filled with confusion.

He couldn't help but ask: "Old Ancestor, although the Heaven Cloud Sect was spared in the end, the sect has suffered such great losses, and we have become servants to another. Where is the blessing in this?"

"You do not understand."

Guo Shijie stood with his hands behind his back, looking meaningful.

Then, looking at Wu Yun, he added: "Open the Storage Ring left behind by the Master and see what he has left for us."

"Yes."

Wu Yun hurriedly opened the Storage Ring.

When he saw the contents of the Storage Ring, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Old, Old Ancestor."

Wu Yun exclaimed.

"What are you shouting about? You are, after all, the Sect Master..."

"Holy crap!"

Seeing the items inside the Storage Ring, Guo Shijie couldn't help but exclaim as well.

The items in the Storage Ring were nothing else but the Cultivation Technique and mystic skills left by Zhong Qing.

There were two Cultivation Techniques and two mystic skills.

And they were all of the King-rank.

Given their status and standing, they could tell at a glance that these King-rank Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills were not simple; they were not comparable to ordinary King-rank Cultivation Techniques, but were the ceiling of the King-rank, and could even be compared to some Emperor-rank Cultivation Techniques.

They never imagined that Zhong Qing's generosity would be so great; he casually left several King-rank Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills for two servants like them.

One must know that although their Holy Land had King-rank Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills, they were only at an ordinary level within the King-rank, and compared to those left by Zhong Qing, they were simply not on the same level.

Moreover, they were usually kept as treasures of the sect.

"See, do you understand what I mean now? What is a blessing in disguise? This is a blessing in disguise!!!"

Guo Shijie said with an excited face: "Did you think I would just casually acknowledge someone as my master?"

"Do you know the terror of that four-hundred-meter giant blade?"

"Do you know what kind of terrifying existence was sealed within that giant blade?"

"At that time, I guessed that this person's strength must have reached a level beyond our imagination. Even without mentioning the Heaven Cloud Sect, if he wished, he could crush any Holy Land in the Eastern Region at any time."

"And now, judging from the Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills he casually left behind, my guess was indeed correct!"

Guo Shijie became more excited as he spoke.

"Although we have become his servants, it is precisely this status that may allow us to reach heights we could never have attained otherwise!!!"

On the side, listening to Guo Shijie's analysis, Wu Yun also couldn't help but get excited.

Likewise, only now did he realize how ridiculous it was to have offended Zhong Qing to death for Murong Xue's sake earlier.

Had it not been for the Old Ancestor Guo Shijie "turning the tide," the Heaven Cloud Sect would likely no longer exist today.

And he, Wu Yun, would likely have died eight hundred times over.

"Old Ancestor, ginger is indeed spicier when it's old."

Guo Shijie couldn't help but praise.

"Hmph, what do you think is the reason the Heaven Cloud Sect still exists safely today after experiencing so many tribulations?"

Guo Shijie lectured him earnestly.

"Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing; it is more about human relations and worldly wisdom."

"Your path is still long. Watch well, learn well, handle the aftermath of the Heaven Cloud Sect, and serve the Master well in the future."

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Wu Yun nodded hurriedly.

Looking up at the devastated Heaven Cloud Sect, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion...

...

At this moment.

Zhong Qing was on the way to the Immortal River Sect with Lin Feng.

Leaving the Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills for the two was merely a casual act for Zhong Qing.

First, he had plenty of Cultivation Techniques and mystic skills of this level, so it didn't matter if he gave a few away.

Second, since the two had become his servants, they were his own people. Under the Heavenly Dao oath, Zhong Qing was not afraid of them having any strange thoughts. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhong Qing told them to commit suicide, they would not dare to disobey.

On the way back, Zhong Qing was not in a hurry.

Instead, he stopped and went along the way.

Even though he had many trump cards, he had no basic cultivation to protect himself, so Zhong Qing rarely left the Immortal River Sect before.

Now that he had come out, he had to say that the scenery of this other world was truly quite good.

The uncanny workmanship of nature had sculpted many landscapes that he could not see in his previous life.

However, just as the master and Disciple were flying while looking at the scenery.

In the valley ahead, fighting fluctuations suddenly emerged.

The fluctuations were not large; it was a battle between a Chen Xuan Realm white tiger and a woman.

The woman was no match and was slapped away by the white tiger.

Zhong Qing watched this scene indifferently, with no intention of stepping forward to rescue her.

Perhaps in his previous life, he would have done so without hesitation, but in this treacherous world of cultivation, playing the hero to save a beauty was undoubtedly a foolish act.

If he really saved her, no one knew what kind of trouble it might invite.

In short, one must follow the Law of the world one is in.

However.

Just as Zhong Qing was about to leave, the System suddenly sent out a sound.

[It is recommended that the host save this woman.]

[This woman will obtain a certain Physique in the future. After she obtains the Physique, the host can take her as a Disciple.]

[After taking her as a Disciple, it may activate a new Disciple bond for the host.]

"Oh?"

"She will obtain a certain Physique in the future?"

Zhong Qing showed a look of surprise.

Does this mean she does not have that Physique now, and will only obtain it in the future?

This System is omniscient.

Zhong Qing couldn't help but observe with his Heavenly Eye.

The Heavenly Eye could only see the woman's current information; as for what Physique she would obtain in the future, it could not predict it.

However, her origin was somewhat beyond Zhong Qing's expectations.

Residing within her was the remnant soul of a Demoness from the continent's North Demon Cave.

Zhong Qing did not know what a Demoness was, but he knew that the continent's North Demon Cave was a land of the Demon Race, and its strength level was many times stronger than the Eastern Region.

"What kind of Physique will she obtain in the future?"

Zhong Qing couldn't help but ask.

[The System can only roughly predict that this woman will obtain a certain Physique in the future; it cannot predict exactly what kind of Physique it is. It is recommended that the host save this woman, and after she obtains the Physique in the future, take her as a Disciple, which will activate a new bond.]

Zhong Qing nodded.

It seems that taking her as a Disciple now is useless; it will only be useful after she obtains a certain Physique in the future.

Saving her now would at best just get her familiar with him and gain some favorability.

For a moment.

Zhong Qing hesitated about whether to save her or not.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Qing still decided to act.

After all, having experienced the Trash bond, Zhong Qing knew how great the benefits of a bond were for him.

And there was no clue about a new bond for the time being.

The only clue was probably this woman.

At this time, the woman had been chased to a dead end by the Chen Xuan Realm white tiger.

On the woman's exquisite and slightly alluring face, a look of deep solemnity was currently shrouded.

"I never expected that I, Bai Ling, as a dignified Demoness, having managed to survive a Great Calamity by using my remnant soul to parasitize, intending to slowly recover in this Eastern Region, would end up being bullied by a dog while a tiger is stranded on the plains."

"Is my final outcome to die at the hands of this small Chen Xuan Realm Yao Beast?"

The woman's expression flashed with deep unwillingness.

Just as the white tiger attacked and she had nowhere to retreat, Zhong Qing acted.

He lightly and easily sliced the white tiger into two, and at the same time landed beside Bai Ling with Lin Feng.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Zhong Qing asked softly.

Bai Ling looked at Zhong Qing with vigilance, and only after realizing what had happened did she nod, "Thank you for saving me. If there is a chance, I will repay you in the future."

Saying this, Bai Ling was about to leave.

"Wait, Miss."

Zhong Qing couldn't help but call out: "Seeing that you are seriously injured, why not come with me? At least I can keep you safe."

"Thank you, but you cannot keep me safe."

Bai Ling glanced at Zhong Qing and said, shaking her head.

Just now, because of the white tiger's attack, she had to use the power of her remnant soul.

But the leakage of this remnant Soul Power would very likely be sniffed out by powerful enemies from the North Demon Cave.

Judging from Zhong Qing's performance just now, his strength was indeed decent, but in front of the enemies from the North Demon Cave who were hunting her, it was not enough.
