God is passing by

Zhong Qing was a man of action!

After saying he’d help his Xiao Tu Di get revenge, he took him and set off early the next morning.

Above the sky, the master and Disciple transformed into streaks of light, soaring straight towards the Flying Knife Gate.

The two flew over mountains and rivers along the way.

It was clear that Xiao Su Ye was both nervous and excited, his mind highly strung.

Zhong Qing could understand his feelings, so he found a topic to divert his attention, saying, “Your realm has already achieved some small success, but I wonder, how is your practical combat ability?”

“Reporting to Master, Senior Brother often goes into the mountains to practice with Demonic Beasts.”

“Disciple also often follows him into the mountains to hunt Demonic Beasts.”

“How about Disciple takes one down for you to see?”

Xiao Su Ye said, eager to try.

Zhong Qing smiled.

“Alright, once we fly to that mountain ahead, I will find one for you.”

Soon after, the two landed in a mountain range.

Lush ancient trees stood all around, and strange rocks jutted out ruggedly.

Zhong Qing sensed the aura of Demonic Beasts here.

At the same time!

Not far away.

A man and a woman were strolling through the mountains, their faces covered in sweat.

The man was somewhat round in build, dressed in extremely festive attire, draped in red and green, with graying temples, appearing to be around forty years old.

The woman was in her prime, with proper features and delicate eyebrows.

However, that beautiful face was now replaced with solemnity.

This was a father and daughter.

The man’s name was Gu Wan, and the woman’s name was Gu Linger.

“Ling'er, it was your father who harmed you!”

Gu Wan looked around in despair.

His face showed a deep sense of defeat.

“Legend has it that a family ancestor dropped the Gu family’s treasured item here.”

“I originally thought finding the family’s treasured item would help your cultivation advance further.”

“Who would have thought that the Zhenfa here would be so terrifying.”

They had been trapped here for half a year!

A full half year.

Not only could they not leave this area, but they were also harassed by Demonic Beasts daily.

Constantly facing life-and-death crises.

For the past half year, the father and daughter dared not have a good night's sleep.

Every day they tried to find a way out.

But they tried countless methods, and the final result was only futile; they could only wander around in these mountains.

“Father, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

“No one wants this kind of thing to happen.”

“You don’t need to blame yourself; perhaps, this is fate!”

Gu Linger comforted Gu Wan, but the look of despair in her eyes made Gu Wan’s heart ache.

She was originally a peerless talent in the family.

She should have a broader sky and future.

Yet, how cruel fate was, to trap her to die in this small mountain forest.

Just as Gu Wan and Gu Linger were downcast and despairing about the future.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of cheerful conversation not far away.

The voices were light, the tone relaxed, sounding like they were on a spring outing.

The two looked up and saw Zhong Qing and Su Ye walking towards them.

Gu Wan said with a strange expression, “Are you two also lost here?”

Zhong Qing was slightly stunned.

“Lost in what?”

Gu Linger added, “Lost in this illusion Zhenfa!”

Only then did Zhong Qing notice that he had unwittingly walked into a Zhenfa.

And it was a large Zhenfa primarily designed to trap people.

He didn’t care, as he possessed Formation Immunity.

No Zhenfa had any effect on him.

He immediately said, “Not lost, I was just passing by here.”

These words completely dumbfounded Gu Wan and Gu Linger, leaving them in a chaotic state.

What the hell, just passing by?

However, seeing Zhong Qing’s calm demeanor.

He seemed confident about leaving this place.

For a moment, Gu Wan and Gu Linger, who had been trapped here for half a year and were almost despairing to death, seemed to see hope of getting out.

The former immediately asked, “Fellow Daoist, can you take us with you?”

The complexity of human nature is fully displayed in the cultivation world.

Generally speaking, when two unfamiliar cultivators meet for the first time, they are bound to be wary, guarded against each other, and distrustful of one another.

However, Gu Wan and Gu Linger couldn’t care less about that now.

They only had one thought now, and that was to get out.

Zhong Qing hesitated slightly at their request, then chose to agree.

Firstly, their cultivation was not high, and secondly, it wouldn’t be troublesome for him.

“Then you two follow along!”

Su Ye following him without being disturbed by the great Zhenfa at all indicated that he was not only immune to Zhenfa himself but could also bring others.

This meant that even if Zhong Changfeng had been trapped earlier, even if he hadn’t used his Small World, he could have safely brought him out.

“I wonder if this counts as a small buff from the system reward, or if the system reward is just that heaven-defying.”

Zhong Qing always disdained to rack his brains over things he couldn’t figure out.

After all, the outcome was good for him.

“Thank you, Senior!”

After obtaining Zhong Qing’s consent, Gu Wan and Gu Linger quickly expressed their gratitude.

And followed along.

“No need to be polite, it’s just a small effort!”

Zhong Qing waved his hand and said, “I still need to spend some time here.”

“You two might have to wait a while!”

“Fellow Daoist, please take your time!”

Gu Wan repeatedly agreed.

They had waited half a year, so a little more time wouldn’t matter.

But he was very curious, what was Zhong Qing going to do?

Soon, his doubts were answered.

He saw Zhong Qing walk a distance, then his gaze swept around, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

“Found you!”

As his words fell.

A roar came from a beast.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the mountain forest.

The father and daughter’s expressions instantly changed.

“Double-headed Demonic Ape!”

The Double-headed Demonic Ape was a Chen Xuan Realm mid-stage Demonic Beast.

It possessed immense strength and powerful abilities, enough to crush ninety-nine percent of human cultivators at the same level.

Since the father and daughter accidentally entered this Zhenfa, this Double-headed Demonic Ape had been their nightmare.

There had been several clashes between them during that time.

But every time they encountered it, the father and daughter found themselves in a life-or-death situation.

They had spent countless trump cards and consumed much of their reserves, barely escaping with their lives from the Double-headed Demonic Ape.

It could be said that this Demonic Beast had become a nightmarish existence for them.

“Disciple, it’s up to you!”

Zhong Qing handed the battlefield over to Su Ye.

“Alright, Master, watch me.”

Xiao Su Ye stepped forward, his eyes burning as he looked at the Double-headed Demonic Ape.

“Fellow Daoist, this Demonic Beast is extremely powerful; it’s a Chen Xuan Realm mid-stage cultivation.”

“They say there’s strength in numbers, why don’t we join forces?”

Gu Wan said, beads of sweat on his forehead.

In his opinion, Su Ye was too young.

How could someone barely bigger than a grasshopper, even if he had been cultivating since the womb, defeat such a terrifying Demonic Beast?

Zhong Qing said indifferently, “No matter, we’ll just watch from the side.”
