The promise at the city gate was broken, and Chen Kuang thought he would never see Qingcuo again, the idiot who had seriously discussed with him which hugging position would be more comfortable.
Since Li Hongling was not dead, he thought that Qingcuo's assassination had failed and he had died.
But I didn't expect that we would meet again at this moment.
Qingcuo heard him calling his name and just nodded:
"Um."
Chen Kuang didn't have the energy to reminisce about the past at this time. Qingcuo's cultivation was higher than that of ordinary black-armored guards, but he was only at the Denglou Realm.
There were several Xianmen cultivators from the Xiantian realm facing her, plus three burdens, so she was not at an advantage at the moment.
Fortunately, Qingcuo had previously demonstrated her miraculous leaping skills. When Chen Kuang tried to remember the paths between the prison cell and the military camp, he was frustrated by her magical ability to walk on flat ground.
It is actually very effective to use it to escape at this time.
In just a few breaths, the figures of those practitioners disappeared.
Qingcuo carried the three of them and ran for a while, and found a secret cave in the mountains.
This cave is actually a cave within a cave. The cave outside seems hidden, but it is actually not deep. You can see the end after walking two steps.
There was a dead end at the end, seemingly empty except for a muddy and dirty pool of water, which was obviously stagnant.
But in fact, if you dive into this pool, you will soon enter another cave.
Using a pool of water, the real hiding place was concealed, which was a perfect use of the darkness under the lamp.
"This was once the location where the Huo family's army practiced ambushes. It has been abandoned for many years and is difficult for ordinary people to find."
Qingcuo took back the spiritual energy used to separate the water, pushed the three people up, and explained.
"However, this place doesn't lead to the outside. If you stay here for too long, you'll risk suffocating and fainting. We can only hide for the time being."
She also climbed up and looked at the pale Chen Kuang. Without saying a word, she said, "Wait until your injuries recover a little, and then we'll set off immediately."
"Those people just now were just outer disciples of the Three Tribulations Sect, providing support outside the battlefield. They happened to see you acting suspiciously, so they attacked you."
"But soon, the news of your escape will spread throughout the Three Tribulations Sect."
"The Three Tribulations Sect has not only sent Wei Su this time, but also two elders at the Moon Embracing Realm. The cultivators from Lingtai Mountain won't be able to hold them back for long."
"Once they make a move and use their spirit to explore, we will be discovered immediately."
Not only did they trick Shen Xingzhu away, but they also took away the entire Three Tribulations Sect...
In other words, Shen Xingzhu has never been the focus of this matter.
Although her true nature has been exposed by Chen Kuang, in terms of her behavior and position, she is a true "neutral person".
If Chen Kuang did not carry the elixir of immortality, there would be no conflict between him and Shen Xingzhu.
The Three Tribulations Sect, represented by Wei Su, which also wants to obtain the elixir of immortality, is his biggest enemy now.
Ji Chengtian, who planned this war in the Zhou Kingdom thousands of miles away, even has to be ranked second.
It's not difficult to deceive Li Hongling who is in Mount Lushan, but if someone reviews the whole thing, they will soon find that Chen Kuang plays a very important role...
If Wei Su could guess it, there was no reason why these elders couldn't guess it.
Even worse...
Chen Kuang also killed Wei Su.
This person is the son of the leader of the Sanjie Sect, which means they have a mortal enemy.
Even if Wei Su attacked first, Chen Kuang only fought back to protect himself...but who cares about that.
However, there are no laws or principles in this world.
Everything is just a matter of strength and weakness.
Chen Kuang stared at the surface of the pond covered with duckweed.
In this muddy and filthy quagmire, down-to-earth life has no foothold. Only the rootless and unattached duckweed is floating high above, occupying all the upper space.
Beneath this dense duckweed, there are actually a few small fish no longer than a little finger, surviving in such a cramped environment.
Suddenly a small fish floated to the surface of the water, opened its mouth and swallowed a few pieces of duckweed, then sank back down again.
This tiny gap existed for a brief moment, and then dense duckweed once again occupied the entire water surface.
In this world, practitioners are like duckweed.
Who will be that fish?
"I see."
Chen Kuang nodded and let out a long sigh: "I am too slow to heal myself, I may need your help."
Qingcuo also noticed that he was in a state where even regulating his breathing was difficult, so he took out some healing medicine and handed it to him, then sat cross-legged behind him and said, "I'll help you with your energy."
Chen Kuang poured out one pill and swallowed it. He felt a warm current sweeping through his body, which accelerated the healing of his wounds and made his originally sluggish spiritual energy a little more active.
A pair of slender hands rested on his back and began to channel spiritual energy, guiding the circulation of Qi for him.
He quickly adjusted his posture, relaxed his whole body, and entered the first phase of "Tushita Descent" to cooperate with the treatment.
But what I was thinking was, as expected, TV dramas are all lies, there is no need to take off clothes...
Chen Kuang thought again and felt that he couldn't say that. After all, those who filmed TV dramas were not real practitioners.
These disturbing thoughts quickly disappeared in the tide of spiritual energy around him.
After three cycles, Chen Kuang was finally able to support the circulation of spiritual energy on his own.
The dried-up acupoints gradually filled up again.
Qingcuo withdrew his hand and opened his eyes.
She saw Chu Wenruo sitting not far away, shivering while holding the little princess. After thinking for a moment, she stood up, took off her coat, and handed it to the former.
Chu Wenruo was stunned to see that the girl in front of him had taken off the heavy scale armor of the Black Armor Guard. Only a bra was left on her upper body to facilitate movement. Large areas of her fair skin were exposed, and her pretty face made people feel pity for her.
Chu Wenruo couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal love: "You... aren't you cold?"
Qingcuo shook his head and said, "Madam, you are joking. I am a cultivator."
"If you get sick from the cold, it will be an additional obstacle to your escape."
Chu Wenruo smiled awkwardly and quickly took it and put it on.
Gradually, due to fatigue from running around, the mother and daughter fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, Qingcuo felt an irresistible sleepiness and his eyes felt heavy.
She became alert and wanted to take out the dagger and forcefully pierce her thigh to refresh herself, but before she closed her eyes, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appear before her.
Qingcuo was momentarily distracted and could no longer resist the sleepiness, so he fell asleep leaning against the mountain wall.
After Chen Kuang finished regulating his breathing and confirmed that he had recovered about 50%, he immediately opened his eyes and was about to talk to Qingcuo.
But I saw an old man wearing golden armor beside the pond.
The old man had long pale hair and was sitting casually with his back to him, but his back was straight, like a sword that never bends.
"Old man, are you still alive?!"
Chen Kuang jumped up suddenly as if he had seen a ghost.
"Haha, what a fuss."
The old man turned sideways and said calmly, "Boy, haven't you heard that saints don't enter the cycle of reincarnation?"
