Feng Zhizhao pulled out an axe from behind his back, and Jiang Ping was engulfed in crimson flames; they were both ready for battle.
Liu Guang and Shen Rou, along with several of Ma Baotian's disciples, also stood their ground and confronted Feng Zhizhao and his group.
Ma Baotian's expression suddenly turned somewhat grim, and he hesitated on the spot.
If it wasn't Qiao Suinian and his group who did it, then who killed his disciple, A Long?
It couldn't possibly be that Ah Long slit his own throat with a knife, could it?
Or is there someone you don't know following you all along?
But if it really was Qiao Suinian and his group who killed them, what could they do to the other side?
Ma Baotian glanced at Feng Zhizhao and the others. The enemy's numbers were no less than his own. If a fight broke out, even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
After the fight, their Hunyuan Sect would definitely not have enough strength to escort Yang Beini out of Jinghai City.
"Is Master Ma going to make a move? If not, we'll take our leave first."
Qiao Suinian spoke coldly, "Even if he really did kill Ah Long, what could Ma Baotian and his group do to me?"
Ma Baotian hesitated for a moment, then sighed like a deflated balloon.
"Alright, young friend Qiao Suinian, you may leave now if you have business to attend to. However, if I find out that my disciple A Long's death is indeed related to you... then my Hunyuan Sect will absolutely not let this go!"
A fierce glint flashed in Ma Baotian's eyes. Although his Hunyuan Sect was not a major sect, it was definitely not made of mud.
"Please feel free, Master Ma."
Qiao Suinian ignored Ma Baotian's threat and turned to leave with a wave of his hand.
Before leaving, Qiao Suinian took a deep look at Yang Beini, who was hiding behind Ma Baotian, looking trembling.
Seeing Qiao Suinian looking at her, Yang Beini's lips suddenly curled into a strange smile, which quickly returned to her terrified expression.
Qiao Suinian didn't say much, and set off with Feng Zhizhao and the others under the cover of night.
"Little Nianzi, how exactly did Ah Long die? Do you know who the murderer is?" After walking for quite a while, Feng Zhizhao finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
Jiang Ping and the others also turned their heads to look at Qiao Suinian with some curiosity.
Qiao Suinian smiled and said, "You really can't guess? That Yang Beini has a problem, and a very big one."
“I’ve had my doubts too, but Yang Beini is a life skills professional, how could she possibly kill that Ah Long?” Zuo Fangya said with some confusion.
"I don't know the specifics either. What secrets Yang Beini has is none of our business. One of the rules in the apocalypse is not to meddle in other people's affairs. If there weren't other relatively safe buildings nearby, I wouldn't even want to go into that house."
Qiao Suinian shook her head.
Curiosity killed the cat. In the apocalypse, the most important thing is how to survive. As for curiosity, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhizhao and the others fell silent, feeling a lingering sense of fear.
If Yang Beini really is the murderer of Ah Long, then this woman has covered it up far too well, hasn't she?
Qiao Suinian looked at the group and couldn't help but chuckle.
He recalled how, in his previous life, when he first started dealing with human survivors, he was also tricked by quite a few people.
Often, those who seem harmless are the most dangerous.
A tattooed, thuggish-looking man might jump into the water without hesitation to save someone who has fallen in; a well-dressed, erudite old professor might betray a student who trusts him in order to save his own life.
Human nature is inherently complex.
Qiao Suinian didn't think much of it and let Feng Zhizhao and the others process it on their own before continuing their journey toward Mount Gaogang.
Mount Takaoka.
This is one of the few mountains in Jinghai City with an altitude exceeding 500 meters.
This is a truly remote and untouched natural area.
Before the apocalypse, apart from office workers who would come here on weekends to hike and purify their souls, no one else would come here at any other time.
When Qiao Suinian and his group arrived at the foot of Gaogang Mountain, the morning sun had already torn through the dark night, and the golden sunlight dyed the entire Gaogang Mountain gold.
However, once you enter Takaoka Mountain, the sunlight is blocked by the towering trees, the ground is covered with moss, and the dense jungle is unusually slippery and cold.
Every step was wet and slippery, making it difficult to pass.
This environment is the insects' favorite place. As soon as Qiao Suinian and his group entered, they were attacked by seven or eight human-headed centipedes.
This jungle is the best battlefield for the human-headed centipede demon.
"Pull them back, don't let them attack Han Yueling and Zuo Fangya. Jiang Ping, push them up!"
Qiao Suinian did not make a move, but instead guided Feng Zhizhao and the others from the side.
With proper coordination, killing these human-headed centipedes might be difficult, but there would be no danger whatsoever.
Qiao Suinian's main purpose for this trip to Gaogang Mountain was to train Feng Zhizhao and the others, so that each of them could take on a leading role independently.
Only then can he continue to be a hands-off manager with peace of mind.
Therefore, unless they encounter something they can't handle, Qiao Suinian will absolutely not take action.
Jiang Ping ignited his crimson flames and immediately took the lead. With the enhancement of the Torch Ring, his crimson flames became even more terrifying.
He waved his arms, and the centipedes with human heads were too afraid to approach him.
