Qiu Xiongbin nodded and said:
"We only have six people left, three of whom are dead. Even if we continue fighting the giant scorpion beast, it'll be a draw at best. It seems we need to go back and get reinforcements so we can get all that spirit essence liquid."
Then, they all walked out of the cave. Qiu Xiongbin turned his head and glanced at the cave, hesitated for a moment, and said:
We need to seal this cave first.
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and his inner energy surged out, blasting towards the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei realized that no one was chasing him, so he slowly slowed down.
"This time, apart from Jiang Daoguang and me, no one should be able to escape alive."
As for Song Qingyun and the others...
Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself, then shook his head.
The moment Jiang Daoguang was focused on seizing the Spirit Essence Liquid, they were already at a disadvantage and had no chance of fighting back; their only outcome was to be killed.
He witnessed Zhao Weida rush forward and be killed, followed by Zhou Yidian. As for Ma Sandao, he was the weakest and somewhat cowardly, so he didn't rush forward but instead turned around and ran away.
Without much thought, Lin Xiaofei glanced at the little black cat in the space bead, picked it up, and made it stay by his side.
Then, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and glanced at the spiritual essence liquid inside, which was as clear as spring water and shimmered with luster.
Then, a faint fragrance wafted over.
As the aroma entered his throat, Lin Xiaofei felt a refreshing coolness enter his body, which made him feel very comfortable. He almost couldn't resist drinking the fifty-year-old spiritual essence liquid.
"Fifty years' worth of spiritual essence liquid!"
Lin Xiaofei said in a low voice, his face full of excitement.
This time, when he escaped from the cave, he had no intention of getting the Spirit Marrow Liquid, nor did he think he could obtain it. Unexpectedly, Xu Chen chased after him relentlessly, and after a fight, he obtained a bottle of Spirit Marrow Liquid from him. It was simply a good thing that came to his doorstep.
He sniffed the fragrance emanating from the spirit essence liquid, then placed it directly into the spatial bead. He then glanced at the herbs growing inside the bead and murmured, "..."
This time, he led Jiang Daoguang and his group into the mountains of Hongshan Shuiwan, picking up many wild herbs along the way.
Currently, there are over 11,200 wild herbs planted within the Space Pearl.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Lin Xiaofei was walking slowly, calculating the number of herbs planted in the space bead, when suddenly he heard the sound of running footsteps coming from a distance behind him. Startled, he quickly turned around and looked back.
A man, looking flustered and flailing about with his clothes disheveled, was running towards him.
This man was none other than Ma Sandao.
Lin Xiaofei watched Ma Sandao run towards him from afar, feeling a little surprised, not expecting that the other party had escaped alive.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei, worried about being caught by Xu Chen and the others, decided not to take the side path or the main road, but instead used his lightness skill to leap into the woods.
"Senior Brother Lin, wait for me!"
As Ma Sandao ran, panting heavily, he saw a familiar figure ahead and quickly called out.
However, Lin Xiaofei darted directly into the woods and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Seeing Lin Xiaofei leave quickly, Ma Sandao smiled bitterly and said in a low voice:
Song Qingyun, Wang Wu, and the others are all dead.
Now, I'm finally seeing that Senior Brother Lin is still alive, but he ignores me. What bad luck!
Ma Sandao knew this was not a safe place to stay, and thought to himself:
Senior Brother Lin ran so fast, probably because he was afraid of being caught by the group behind him. It seems I have to leave quickly too.
"If they catch up, I'm in big trouble."
After running quickly for a while, Ma Sandao thought to himself:
Once I cross the mountain ahead, I can quickly reach the mission location at Hongshan Shuiwan, which will be much safer.
If you head east from here towards the Qingfeng Gang, there's still a long way to go. If those veteran inner disciples catch up with you, it's a dead end.
It seems that returning to the mission location is the safest option.
As he ran and thought, Ma Sandao paused and said in a low voice:
Today's events have made me realize how fierce the struggles are among inner disciples. That Steward Xu Chen is no good person. When I return to the mission location, I'll spread the word about what happened today. That might make Xu Chen think twice and prevent him from attacking me.
With an idea in mind, Ma Sandao quickly headed towards the mission location at Hongshan Shuiwan.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei emerged from a grove of trees and came to an official road leading into the city.
He was running quickly toward the city gate when suddenly he saw people rushing out of the woods on the side of the road. Two masked men, armed with weapons, charged at him from the left and right.
Lin Xiaofei used his Illusionary Eye Technique to discover that both of them were martial artists at the Inner Qi Realm. Since he wasn't too far from the West Gate, and he didn't want anyone to know that he was very strong, he didn't plan to fight these two martial artists.
Immediately afterwards, he activated his Body Tempering Divine Skill, his leg strength increased dramatically, and he rushed towards the West Gate at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, his running speed increased, and he dodged the two masked men's attacks.
At the same time, he saw a third-rate expert from the Qingfeng Gang near the west gate, leading a group of people rushing towards him from behind.
"Huh? Are they here to rescue me?"
Seeing the Qingfeng Gang members rushing over, Lin Xiaofei whispered something.
Then, after running a short distance, he noticed that the two masked men chasing him had stopped.
Lin Xiaofei saw that the third-rate expert from the Qingfeng Gang, leading a group of men, charged towards the two masked men. He thought to himself, "..."
"They didn't save me? Or were those two masked men actually people the Green Peak Gang was hunting down?"
Did you see that just now?
Just over ten minutes ago, an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Gang, covered in blood, rushed into the city. I reckon he must have been being chased; otherwise, why would he have rushed into the city in such a panicked state?
"Who dares to hunt down the Qingfeng Gang? You should know that in Xiagu County, the Qingfeng Gang is the number one gang, and no one dares to offend them."
However, I've heard that there's fierce infighting within the Qingfeng Gang; perhaps it's a case of them killing each other?
As you just saw, a third-rate expert from the Qingfeng Gang led a few people and rushed out of the city gate, heading straight for those two masked men.
I suspect that masked man is very likely a member of the Qingfeng Gang.
"Hey, I heard that the inner disciples of the Qingfeng Gang are secretly robbing each other of their things in order to compete for cultivation resources. Why do they do that?"
The Qingfeng Gang is the largest gang in Canyon County. With so much territory, isn't that enough for them to squander?"
"Don't forget, ever since the leader of the Qingfeng Gang went into seclusion in the back mountains to cultivate, some changes have begun to occur within the Qingfeng Gang, even affecting us villagers in the canyon county."
What a terrible thing to do.
At the city gate, many people were coming and going, some whispering among themselves. As Lin Xiaofei walked through the city gate, he overheard many people talking about the Qingfeng Gang.
At the same time, Lin Xiaofei recalled what those people had said: an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Gang, covered in blood, rushed into the city.
This made him a little curious: who exactly was this person?
After thinking for a moment, a figure flashed into Lin Xiaofei's mind. He recalled Jiang Daoguang's heroic escape from the cave, covered in blood, fleeing frantically. He whispered, "
Could it be him?
