While Liu Yunqing and Ruan Qing's visit went smoothly, Feng Piaopiao's trip was anything but.
When the tasks were assigned to groups, he volunteered to take the one with the most recent date of the incident.
"I know my own limitations. With my brain, I definitely wouldn't be able to find anything about things that happened too long ago."
"For something like this that just happened not long ago, I think I should still be able to handle it."
Then, just as he and Zhuo Ying arrived at the house, they encountered two groups of people fighting.
Let them fight if they want; Feng Piaopiao and Zhuoying plan to watch the excitement first.
Thinking that they were just two tiny families, and that the two families combined couldn't even muster three Foundation Establishment cultivators, how big could their power be?
As the fight progressed, Feng Piaopiao realized something was wrong.
The family they were going to visit not only had a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also a Golden Core cultivator!
As for why the two of them looked for so long before realizing something was wrong, it was because the Golden Core looked like a Golden Core, but its actual combat power was weaker than what Feng Piaopiao had seen.
Moreover, the condition of that Golden Core cultivator seemed very strange.
At first, he was just beating up the opposing family, but then it turned out he was even beating up his own family members.
Feng Piaopiao heard Zhuo Ying's question and was observing the Golden Core cultivator when she noticed that he suddenly stopped moving and then suddenly shoved the person in the same colored clothes standing next to him.
"Hey? Zhuo Ying, look, isn't he hitting one of his own people?"
Zhuo Ying was so focused on observing the excessively weak Golden Core cultivator that he didn't notice this until Feng Piaopiao pointed it out.
"Yeah, how can they even attack their own people?"
"No! Look into his eyes!"
Following Zhuo Ying's words, Feng Piaopiao looked over and saw that the Golden Core cultivator's eyes were starting to turn abnormally red!
"Has he been possessed by a demon?"
Zhuo Ying shook his head and said:
"No, if one were possessed by a demon, demonic markings should appear on the face, and the eyes should glow with demonic energy rather than red light."
"His condition looks more like... a berserk monster!"
"Oh no! Get out of the way!"
No sooner had Zhuo Ying finished speaking than the Golden Core cultivator with bloodshot eyes suddenly changed his attack direction and charged towards the two of them.
Fortunately, the two were not weaklings. Although they were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were carefully nurtured by a major sect. Their opponent's strength appeared to be at the Golden Core stage, but his foundation was obviously weak and he had not learned anything good. The two did not find it too difficult to deal with him.
While the two fought together, Zhuo Ying also tried to awaken the other's senses.
Unfortunately, the experiments were all in vain.
Moreover, the two gradually felt that the other's strength was slowly increasing, making it increasingly difficult for them to cope.
What caused the two difficulties was not the power of the berserk golden core, but rather the fact that the berserk golden core seemed to have no sense of pain at all.
No matter what methods the two used to attack, the berserk golden core only attacked and never defended.
The two had missions to complete and couldn't bring themselves to kill their opponent, but the opponent kept trying to kill them, which severely hampered them.
Seeing that either the two of them would use other methods to kill the berserk golden core directly, or the two of them would be killed, Zhuo Ying immediately sent a distress message to Liu Yunqing.
When Liu Yunqing arrived, he saw a Golden Core cultivator with red eyes and tattered clothes grabbing at Feng Piaopiao and the other's dantian with both hands.
Feng Piaopiao and his companion each held a thunder pearl and a purple thunder pill, respectively.
Liu Yunqing noticed the strangeness of the Golden Core cultivator. With a flick of his wrist, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow. A spiritual arrow with a long, fiery tail shot out of the bowstring in an instant.
"Bang—!!!"
With a loud bang, the Golden Core cultivator with bloodshot eyes crashed heavily hundreds of meters away, like a brick that had been thrown.
At the same time, Feng Piaopiao and Zhuo Ying threw out what they were holding.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"
Two mushroom clouds exploded and rose into the sky, enveloping everyone around in smoke.
Liu Yunqing stepped forward to help Zhuo Ying and the other person up, who had been knocked to the ground by the blast wave.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
"Cough cough... No, it's nothing."
The wind was moving quickly, so it swallowed a few mouthfuls of dust. Zhuo Ying stood still for a while before her buzzing head cleared up.
"Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise we would have killed the people we were visiting."
"Stop! Don't run!"
Before Liu Yunqing could reply, Ruan Qing suddenly shouted into the distance.
Realizing something was wrong, Liu Yunqing's expression changed, and she flashed after the Golden Core cultivator who had landed.
Seeing Liu Yunqing chase after her, Ruan Qing quickly followed.
Unfortunately, her cultivation level was low, and she couldn't keep up with Liu Yunqing's speed, let alone catch up with that Golden Core cultivator.
Seeing that she was about to lose track of the two, Ruan Qing could only shout to Liu Yunqing:
"He's going to run into the mountains!"
Liu Yunqing didn't have time to respond; he immediately increased the speed of his flying sword and chased after it towards the mountains.
The man should have regained consciousness by now, and he increased his speed again, relying on his Golden Core cultivation to try and shake off Liu Yunqing.
Unfortunately, Liu Yunqing is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although her speed is not as fast as Feng Piaopiao with the Wind Spirit Root, she has worked hard to improve her speed due to the special nature of her weapon.
Not only could that person not shake off Liu Yunqing, but no matter how cleverly he hid, he couldn't escape Liu Yunqing's eyes.
Then a miracle happened.
The person, alive and well, vanished from Liu Yunqing's consciousness...
Liu Yunqing jumped off the flying sword and released his divine sense to its maximum extent.
Unfortunately, she could see Ruan Qing struggling to catch up, and Feng Piaopiao arriving first, but she couldn't find that person anywhere.
Vanished into thin air?
impossible!
Judging from the person's speed and the extent of their injuries, Liu Yunqing was certain that the person was within the range of her divine sense.
As for why they can't be found, there's only one possibility: they're hiding.
Liu Yunqing didn't go far. Right where she discovered that the person's aura had vanished instantly, she activated both her divine sense and her physical eyes for a thorough search.
No, no, still no!
Liu Yunqing searched again and again, but still found nothing. Even when Feng Piaopiao arrived, she still couldn't find anything.
"Damn! He can really run!"
"Could it be that it can burrow underground or ascend to the sky?"
Liu Yunqing didn't speak, because Xiao Jiao was talking to her in her mind.
"Zhenru, I know where he is. Let me out."
Liu Yunqing was not fooled and replied to Xiao Jiao:
"Just give me directions, and I'll go there."
Xiao Jiao's scheme failed, and she said angrily:
"You're such a nuisance, dragon!"
"Okay! Take three steps to the left, yes, then five steps straight ahead, then to the upper left, yes, in this direction, take seven more steps, and you're there!"
Liu Yunqing stopped in response, looked around at the surroundings, but found nothing different.
After thinking for a moment, he closed his eyes and took a step forward.
The next moment, the three people who were watching Liu Yunqing's strange behavior discovered that Liu Yunqing had suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Liu Yunqing, on the other hand, felt as if he had stepped into the clouds, only to fall into thin air.
Before she could even land, a fierce attack shot straight at her face from the front!
