Su Qing arrived at the Ye family's residence.

There was actually a formation set up outside the Ye family's mansion. However, the formation was very crude. Su Qing guessed that it was set up by a rogue cultivator hired by the Ye family.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Array is a third-grade array, but it is clear that the person who set it up had limited ability, and the setup was quite rudimentary.

Su Qing immediately noticed many flaws.

Moreover, this Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Array is also a well-known name. Even if this array can summon heavenly thunder, it is only as powerful as the Thunder Spirit Talisman in Su Qing's hand.

It might be enough to deal with ordinary Qi Refining stage disciples, but it wouldn't be enough to deal with Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

He threw out a talisman that cracked the earth, and the core of the Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Array was shattered.

In an instant, the Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Array became useless.

Su Qing easily climbed over the threshold into the Ye family's house.

She had visited the Ye family a few times, always looking for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing was just an illegitimate daughter in the Ye family, living in Wenxiang Garden, the outermost part of the Ye family compound.

Su Qing headed straight for Wenxiang Garden. From afar, she heard a shrill scream, and her heart tightened immediately. She quickened her pace.

The further Su Qing walked, the more her heart sank.

Just now, a rogue cultivator grabbed a maid from the Ye family, bit her neck, and instantly turned her into a pile of dried corpses.

This isn't some rogue cultivator; he's clearly a demonic cultivator!

The Ye family is already in such a mess, so what about Ye Qingqing?

Su Qing affixed a Swift Wind Talisman to her body and headed towards Wenxiang Garden.

Wenxiang Garden was quiet. Su Qing stepped inside and saw two maids lying on the ground, their fates unknown.

Pushing open the door, Ye Qingqing's boudoir was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Su Qing walked around the room and then heard voices outside.

"Feng Qiao, the cultivator, obtained the furnace cauldron of my Ye family, and then ran away with his men?"

Su Qing heard it clearly; it was the voice of Ye Qingshan, the head of the Ye family.

"Patriarch, cultivator Feng Qiao said that after obtaining the furnace cauldron, he will return to seclusion for three days. After three days, he will surely be able to help you destroy the Su family." A fawning voice came.

"Three days later? Does he even know that the Su family has produced a capable woman named Su Qing? Now the Su family has the Xuanling Sect as their backer?"

Su Qing clenched her fists. Could it be that Ye Qingqing was taken away by this Feng Qiao?

After Ye Qingshan left, Su Qing came out of the house and grabbed one of Ye family servants standing at the door.

"Tell me, where did Ye Qingqing go?"

Su Qing's cold and stern voice made the servant wet his pants.

"I...I don't know..."

Su Qing tightened her grip, and the servant's face instantly turned red.

"If you don't speak up, your neck will break."

The servant stretched out his hand out of thin air and struggled. Su Qing relaxed slightly, and the servant finally managed to exhale. His eyes bulged out because he was holding his breath.

"The illegitimate daughters of the Ye family were all divided up by the rogue cultivators who came to the Ye family. Ye Qingqing was taken away by cultivator Feng Qiao."

"Where did you take it?"

"Yueling Mountain."

"What is the cultivation level of that cultivator Feng Qiao?"

"A mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Su Qing's eyes turned cold. She twisted the servant's head and then turned and left the Ye family.

Yueling Mountain is a desolate mountain outside Anyang City. A hundred years ago, a small sect did emerge here, but the spiritual energy in the mountain was too thin, and the small sect could not last more than a hundred years before it disappeared.

Later, it became a place for independent cultivators to practice.

Feng Qiao was just a rogue cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Su Qing snorted coldly, not afraid of even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As soon as Su Qing stepped onto Yueling Mountain, she noticed that an illusion array had been set up on the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain, Yueling Mountain appears as a barren, desolate mountain, but once you climb up, you'll find lush, verdant forests.

As Su Qing walked along the road, she felt that the trees around her changed slightly as she moved.

If someone doesn't understand formations, they'll likely lose their way quickly if they get caught in this illusionary array. If they're lucky, they'll be trapped inside; if they're unlucky, they'll walk into a death trap and then who knows what kind of trap awaits them.

"That's interesting."

Su Qing sneered. It seemed that Feng Qiao knew how to set up formations, but his skill in this formation was only average.

Su Qing raised her hand and threw out a lightning talisman. The talisman landed on a mound of earth, which was instantly blasted to pieces. A formation flag popped out from inside, already broken in two.

With a kick, the flag flew away, and the lush forest around them vanished instantly. Su Qing found herself standing at the foot of the mountain.

Not far in front of her was a huge pit. If she took another ten or so steps, she would probably fall into it.

Upon reaching the pit, they found steel nails driven into it, with several talismans inserted into the nails.

Even if a cultivator were to fall into this trap, they would likely suffer a great loss if caught off guard.

He raised his hand and threw out a ground-cracking talisman, and the pit instantly collapsed, burying the steel nails underground.

Continuing up the mountain, Su Qing encountered several more small formations, all of which she easily broke.

At the top of Yueling Mountain, Su Qing saw a courtyard in the distance, which was probably where Feng Qiao's cave was located.

The courtyard was surrounded by spirit-gathering arrays, which concentrated all the spiritual energy of the entire Yueling Mountain into that courtyard, barely enough to support a Foundation Establishment cultivator's cultivation.

It seems that Feng Qiao is quite capable.

Holding the falling snowflakes in her hand and affixing a teleportation talisman to her body, Su Qing headed towards Feng Qiao's courtyard.

There was even a barrier set up outside the courtyard, keeping Su Qing out.

"What a hassle!" Su Qing muttered.

In his mind, Mingyan felt a sharp pain on his scalp as one of his hairs was plucked out.

"Hey! Don't go too far!" Ming Yan shouted angrily, but Su Qing completely ignored him.

The blue hair was thrown out, and the barrier was ignited by the Netherflame, instantly burning a large hole in it. Su Qing easily walked into the hole without anyone noticing.

Feng Qiao's courtyard was quiet. Su Qing walked around it and had to admit that a lot of thought had been put into this courtyard. There were many spirit-gathering arrays set up in the courtyard, and there was even a spirit field planted with spirit grains.

Although the herb garden was not large and only planted with spiritual herbs of grade three or lower, it was clear that Feng Qiao had devoted a lot of effort to it.

Su Qing passed by and collected all the spiritual grains and herbs. Since they were like wild geese leaving no trace, she figured she might as well take them all.

Unexpectedly, Feng Qiao's small cave dwelling was actually equipped with a treasure pavilion.

Su Qing easily opened the barrier of the Treasure Pavilion and went inside. Inside, the so-called Treasure Pavilion was mostly filled with farming tools for planting spirit grains, and there was nothing of interest to it.

What exactly did Feng Qiao do before?

Su Qing was puzzled; this guy seemed very persistent in planting spirit grains.
