Chapter 1289 Seemingly Affectionate, But Actually Ruthless
Lingqiong frowned tightly, and his expression became uglier.
Not found!
He still couldn't find any memory about the Qingyun Sect in his mind.
"Spiritual Sky!"
A pleasant voice sounded from behind, breaking Lingqiong's impatient mood.
His expression returned to gentleness, tenderness appeared between his brows, and he slowly turned around.
Gu Jin, Linda and others who were walking towards him were clearly visible.
"You're here." Ling Qiong's lips curled slightly, with a smile on his face.
Gu Jin walked up to him and asked without further ado, "Are you planning to go up the mountain?"
She raised her head and looked up at the mountains and clouds in front of her.
Lingqiong nodded slightly: "Yes."
Gu Jin retracted his gaze, with a hint of anticipation on his face: "Is An Mingji's soul connected to this mountain?"
In her opinion, Lingqiong would only take the initiative to attack if it was related to An Mingji's soul.
"I don't know either." Lingqiong shook his head.
He went up the mountain not because of his three souls and seven spirits that were wandering outside, but for the Qingyun Sect.
As for whether there were any traces of An Mingji on the mountain, he had no way of knowing.
Gu Jin got an uncertain answer, but he was not disappointed: "When are you going to go up the mountain?"
Ling Qiong's voice was slightly deep: "You want to go together?"
From the tone of his voice, it seemed that he didn't intend to let Gu Jin go with him.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows and looked towards the hidden places at the foot of the mountain. Then he met Ling Qiong's disapproving gaze and said firmly, "Of course."
She will be involved in everything related to An Mingji.
Her hidden look was clearly seen by Lingqiong.
Knowing that she had also discovered something wrong, Ling Qiong was silent for a moment, then his frown slowly relaxed and he said, "Let's go up the mountain without further ado."
"good!"
When Gu Jin came, he knew that they might go up the mountain, so he had already asked Linda and others to prepare.
They found the way up the mountain and headed straight up.
After Gu Jin and his group went up the mountain, Wu Gan also hurried over.
As soon as he appeared, dozens of figures flashed in the directions that Gu Jin and Ling Qiong had secretly scanned before.
"Meet the Young Master!"
"Meet the Young Master!"
Everyone bowed to Wu Gan. They were dressed differently, but they all had a circle of red spider lily totems embroidered on their cuffs.
The colors of the red spider lilies on these people's cuffs are different, there are two colors, white and blue.
Only the inside of Wu Gan's cuffs were embroidered with red red spider lilies, which could only be revealed when he turned the cuffs over.
The Qingyun Sect is divided into inner and outer disciples.
The cuffs of inner disciples are decorated with blue red spider lilies, those of outer disciples are decorated with white red spider lilies, and only the sect leader and elders who hold high positions, as well as their blood relatives, will wear red red spider lilies.
Wu Gan didn't notice Ling Qiong and Gu Jin, so he asked in a deep voice, "Did they go in?"
"Young Master, they just went in not long ago, and our people have already caught up with them."
"Let's go take a look too."
No matter whether that person is the one who has been waiting for many years or not, he cannot destroy Yunshan’s formation.
The formation in the mountains was guarded by all the disciples of Qingyun Sect for a thousand years. If the formation was broken, everyone would die. They could not gamble the lives of so many disciples on the identity of one person.
…
Gu Jin, Ling Qiong and others walked in Yunshan for nearly two hours, but they were still wandering around the edge.
They were not lost, they just couldn't get into the center of the mountain.
It was as if there was a barrier there, and every time they got closer, the road would lead them to the edge.
Because the scenery was different along the way, Lingqiong only discovered it after walking for two hours.
He immediately stopped the team: "Girl, don't leave, something is wrong here."
Gu Jin stopped, wrapped his down jacket tightly around him, frowned slightly, and looked impatient.
Obviously, she also realized that something was wrong here.
"Ms. Gu, have a drink of water." Linda handed the kettle to Gu Jin.
"No, you guys just rest here first." Gu Jin stretched out his hand and pushed, then walked to Lingqiong: "Did you find anything wrong?"
Lingqiong frowned and shook his head.
They were still at the bottom of the mountainside, unable to step into the mountain no matter how much they walked around.
He suddenly raised his hand and released a stream of spiritual power.
The spiritual energy rushed toward the mountainside, its power gradually weakened as it went farther away, and finally dissipated.
There was no disappointment on Lingqiong's face, as if everything was as expected.
He looked helpless and said to Gu Jin with a wry smile: "It seems that we need someone else to lead the way."
Ling Qiong was certain that there was a formation here, a large one at that, and he couldn't solve it, otherwise he wouldn't have wandered around for two hours in vain.
As for who the guide Lingqiong was talking about, Gu Jin and he knew it very well.
Along the way, they had no idea who was following them.
Gu Jin glanced behind him and asked, "Are you sure they are friends or enemies?"
“I don’t know yet.”
Although Lingqiong couldn't tell whether they were friends or enemies, he could sense that they didn't have much ill intentions.
"You rest here first, I'll be back soon."
Knowing that he was going to meet those people, Gu Jin nodded: "Okay."
Ling Qiong turned and left. Gu Jin stood under a tree with dry leaves, gazing into the distance towards the mountains with a gloomy look on his face.
…
Wu Gan and others followed behind and witnessed with their own eyes that Gu Jin, Ling Qiong and others were circling around at the foot of the mountainside.
"Young Master, they can't enter the mountain. Should we activate the confusion formation to drive them away?"
Someone in the entourage suggested activating the formation to expel them.
Wu Gan also had this idea, however, when he saw Ling Qiong walking towards them, he immediately made a gesture to disperse.
Everyone's expression froze, and they moved as fast as lightning, scattering in all directions in an instant.
Ling Qiong stopped and stood in the hay overgrown with weeds. His peach blossom eyes, which seemed affectionate but were actually ruthless, swept around, locking onto the direction of every person hiding in the dark.
Finally, his cold and sharp eyes shot straight to where Wu Gan was hiding.
Ling Qiong's voice was low and cold: "You've been following me all the way, come out now."
Wu Gan was hiding behind an ancient tree. Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was not sure whether Lingqiong had really discovered him or was tricking him, so he remained motionless.
The other sect disciples around did not dare to move at all.
The cold wind of the winter season blew, ruffling Lingqiong's hair that was fixed with a wooden hairpin. He became increasingly impatient, narrowed his eyes, and flew up.
He was so fast that he instantly appeared in front of the ancient tree where Wu Gan was hiding, and faced Wu Gan, who had a stunned look on his face.
"It's you."
Lingqiong met Wu Gan yesterday.
I know that this person is the son of the village chief of Qingfeng Town.
When he visited Qingfeng Town yesterday, he noticed the difference between the villagers in this town which was like a small village chief. Most of them had achieved spiritual cultivation.
Not low, most of them are at the foundation-building level.
Only the village chief whom we saw yesterday is about to enter the Golden Core realm.
There was no place to hide anymore, so Wu Gan regained his simple and honest look and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Ling."
Ling Qiong stared at his eyebrows, frowned slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Wu Gan's facial features are about 70% similar to his father's, but he is much more handsome than his father, and his appearance is somewhat similar to the head junior brother in his memory.
As if remembering something, Ling Qiong suddenly lowered his eyes and stared at the cuffs of Wu Gan's coarse cloth clothes.
