Chapter 1792: Chapter 399:
But why does the Demonic Lord Qing Shi want to attack those five people?
What is her purpose?
After the deaths of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi and the two others, she collected the Qiankun Bags of the five and then flashed away, flying into the distance.
It didn’t take long before she flew once again to a mountain cave and made her move.
Cao Zhen watched as the Demonic Lord Qing Shi flew to each cave, slaughtering one expert after another, his brows furrowed deeply.
Demonic Lord Qing Shi, what is she trying to do?
Using this opportunity to kill and plunder various resources?
Because many people entered the River of All Realms due to the news of Chaos Qi, others cannot use Immortal Qi or Demonic Qi, making it all the easier for the Demonic Lord Qing Shi to kill.
Even if she kills some, it probably wouldn’t matter much.
However, this is definitely not her ultimate goal.
It seems like she is killing time by amassing some resources.
Furthermore, it was evident she targeted those with considerable strength, who must have plenty of resources on them.
After noticing the Demonic Lord Qing Shi’s actions, Cao Zhen’s heart suddenly thudded. Would the Demonic Lord Qing Shi choose to attack the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect, since she was already targeting those with strong capabilities?
His disciples all practiced the Eight Nine Mysterious Art.
Even though the Demonic Lord Qing Shi stopped for today, who knows if she might attack his disciples again. No, he must instruct his disciples to keep a low profile to avoid drawing the Demonic Lord Qing Shi’s attention.
Cao Zhen hurriedly connected with Yi Sheng via China Cloud.
Inside the cave, Yi Sheng and others had already had their dinner.
The cave was spacious enough, so the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect and the Sacred Flower Sect all entered it. One person from each of the two sects was assigned to keep watch while others rested.
The duty to guard fell on Yi Sheng.
Cao Zhen knew that Yi Sheng and others had allied with the Sacred Flower Sect, and his voice quickly echoed in Yi Sheng’s mind.
"Yi Sheng, what happened during the day? And how far are you now from Ling Xi and the others?"
Yi Sheng heard his master’s voice and glanced at the Sacred Flower Sect disciple on guard, answering silently in his heart, "Master, we should be able to find Senior Sister and them tomorrow. Nothing happened during the day, but at night..."
She quickly recounted their encounter with the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts and the White Tiger.
"The Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts? Although you’ve wiped them out, it doesn’t mean no one knows. The Demonic Lord Qing Shi of the Wanxiao Sect has been constantly sending disciples and those hummingbirds to investigate everywhere."
Cao Zhen sighed in his heart, clueless whether the Wanxiao Sect noticed when the Hundred Peaks Sect eliminated the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts.
If discovered, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi would likely make a move against the Hundred Peaks Sect.
"Don’t be so flamboyant anymore," Cao Zhen warned with worry, "The Demonic Lord Qing Shi of the Wanxiao Sect has begun killing, and is specifically targeting those experts.
If you keep this level of ostentation, she might take action against you. Next, if it’s possible, refrain from engaging in fights."
"Yes, Disciple understands." Yi Sheng’s expression turned grave; though strong, they weren’t the strongest beings within the River of All Realms. After all, here exists an Immortal Path Domain capable of wielding Immortal Qi!
"Right, Master, please wait a moment, try to find Duo Duo. Duo Duo said she has something to tell you." Yi Sheng recalled Duo Duo’s instructions; if the master contacted any of them, remember to tell the master to find her.
"Duo Duo? What does she want?" Cao Zhen asked, puzzled, as he watched Yi Sheng get up and head toward Duo Duo.
At the cave entrance, the disciple of the Sacred Flower Sect also looked up curiously at Yi Sheng.
Why did Yi Sheng leave suddenly?
Then she saw Yi Sheng gently pat Duo Duo, her expression growing increasingly peculiar.
Why did Yi Sheng suddenly seek Duo Duo?
They had just switched guards, and it wasn’t yet time for a shift change. Moreover, Duo Duo was an essential standby for them; they previously discussed always keeping Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, their strongest forces, ready.
So the two were exempt from night watch; she couldn’t fathom why Yi Sheng suddenly asked Duo Duo to rise.
Duo Duo wasn’t deeply asleep, so she came around quickly after a few nudges. Looking at Yi Sheng against the dim haze, she displayed a hint of puzzlement.
Yi Sheng whispered, "I need to go for a moment, Duo Duo, can you take over for me?"
"Oh, sure, Senior Sister, just go ahead." Despite being a bit dazed, Duo Duo promptly responded and moved to the cave entrance. Could it be that Senior Sister woke her up because Master was looking for her?
Yi Sheng quickly exited the cave.
Nearby, the Sacred Flower Sect disciple withdrew her gaze; apparently, it was just a convenience break. Yet, Yi Sheng could have called Qiao Jingyao, so why did she specifically choose Duo Duo?
Along the way, she also noticed Yi Sheng’s very close relationship with Qiao Jingyao, as if they swore sisterhood by ties that strong; why then did Yi Sheng call upon Duo Duo instead?
While intrigued, she didn’t dwell further.
No sooner had Duo Duo settled than her father’s voice resounded in her mind.
