"Seems to be the case. Perhaps we can search for treasure in other places later," Little Li said regretfully.
"Indeed, this range of mountains is just ordinary terrain within the Heavenly Origin Great World.
We’ll search for treasures properly once we reach famous mountains and great rivers."
Lu Qing, noticing Little Li’s decision to abandon the treasure hunt, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
Luckily, the fervor of this sudden treasure hunting enthusiasm in Little Li finally subsided.
As for the Five Elents, that fellow managed to obtain the corpse of a Golden Core Realm spiritual beast from Little Li, after so coaxing over the past two days.
Having devoured it, he has already entered the Qiankun Qi Bag to gradually digest it.
BOOM!
Just as Lu Qing intended to lead Little Li away from this mountain range,
suddenly, a violent surge of mana fluctuation ca from ahead.
"This is the mana fluctuation of human cultivators. Is soone fighting up ahead?"
Lu Qing was slightly surprised, sensing that this mana fluctuation wasn’t particularly strong.
He imdiately took to the air, deciding to see what was happening.
As he had just ascended into the mid-air, he saw a silhouette staggering towards him from the front.
Judging by the figure’s appearance, it seed to be a young girl.
Before he could understand what was happening, the girl had already spotted him.
A look of urgency appeared on her face, and she shouted, "Fellow Daoist, run, there are evil demons behind..."
Before she could finish her words, a hand made of black qi shot out from the forest below, grasping her and pulling her downward.
The girl panicked instantly, knowing she could not escape, and yelled desperately towards Lu Qing:
"Run to the Qiankun Sect, tell them we were killed by Li Motian, a spy of the Demon Clan..."
As she finished saying that, a white sword light suddenly flew from the front, striking her.
In an instant, it severed the black qi hand that bound her, freeing her from it.
As the girl stood in a daze, a gentle voice sounded.
"Young lady, if there’s anything you need to report, you should go yourself. I don’t know the location of the Qiankun Sect."
The girl abruptly looked up, only to find the young man who was a hundred yards away now stood in front of her.
He was dressed in simple cloth clothing, with a spiritual beast resembling a raccoon standing on his shoulder.
"Did you save ?" the girl asked, dazed.
"Correct," Lu Qing replied with a slight smile.
The girl suddenly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, please save my senior brother and sister, they have fallen into the hands of an evil cultivator.
If you can help rescue them, I’m willing to do whatever it takes!"
"Is the demon cultivator you’re talking about the one up ahead?"
Lu Qing did not imdiately agree but pointed ahead.
The girl quickly turned her head, shivering as she did.
She saw Li Motian not far behind her, his body wrapped in black flas, looking at them coldly.
Seeing Li Motian chasing alone, the girl trembled inside and shouted imdiately:
"Li Motian, what have you done to Senior Brother Zixiao and the others?"
"No need to hurry, you’ll soon see them underground," Li Motian said coldly.
"Li Motian, you’re inhuman! Senior Brother Zixiao and the others treated you as a close friend, yet you’ve committed such a monstrous act!"
Upon hearing this, the girl was furious and began to shout loudly.
Unfortunately, Li Motian completely ignored her.
He only directed his gaze at Lu Qing, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
This man before him, though his presence seed weak, only akin to a first-turn Golden Core.
Yet, he could destroy his Heavenly Demon Palm earlier, making Li Motian develop a touch of apprehension.
"Who are you? Are you intending to ddle in Mr. Li’s affairs?"
"Not at all," Lu Qing shook his head. "I don’t wish to interfere in the grievances between you."
Though Lu Qing could discern that the youth wrapped in black flas was truly a genuine demon cultivator.
However, he wasn’t from the Heavenly Origin Great World, and he did not harbor the broader world’s indignation towards demon cultivators.
Before fully understanding the entire story, he did not wish to casually ddle in others’ disputes.
The girl beside him heard Lu Qing’s words, imdiately widened her eyes, and gazed at him in disbelief.
Li Motian was also surprised by Lu Qing’s answer.
But he quickly regained composure,
"In that case, hand over the woman beside you."
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing shook his head again: "I’m afraid I can’t do that. Judging by your deanor, if this young lady falls into your hands, she might not survive, right?
I don’t have the habit of handing strangers over to face death."
"Are you mocking ?" Li Motian’s eyes narrowed, a deep chill emitting from his body.
"Do you assu that just because you broke a minor Taoist skill of mine earlier, you have the qualification to stop ?"
"I dare not," Lu Qing replied calmly. "However, I don’t take kindly to being threatened."
His vision now revealed Li Motian’s information notes.
"Is that so, lost his family and ho in childhood due to the aftermath of two strong practitioners competing in Taoist skills.
Deliberately fell into the Demon Path seeking power for revenge, aligning with the Demon Clan?"
Having read those few lines, Lu Qing had so understanding of Li Motian’s background.
He knew the girl’s words were truthful.
However, this man enveloped in demonic qi was not an ordinary demon cultivator.
"In that case, Mr. Li intends to see what you rely on!"
Upon hearing this, Li Motian wasted no ti and raised his hand, sending out black flas speeding towards Lu Qing.
The fla appeared strange; initially, it was only as thick as a forearm.
But during its flight, it continually absorbed nature’s spiritual energy to grow.
In an instant, it expanded swiftly into a huge dragon, aiming to devour Lu Qing.
Strangely, despite the fla’s massive size, it did not create a hint of heat in the surrounding atmosphere.
On the contrary, it caused the girl and Little Li to feel a coldness originating from their divine soul.
"Watch out!" the girl exclaid.
She had witnessed the terror of Li Motian’s black fla before.
Though it seed non-burning, it was, in fact, extrely strange.
Even soone as strong as Senior Brother Zixiao was burned to the point of needing to sever an arm to survive, after rely sticking to a little of it.
In the end, even his Lifebound Talisman was consud by this black fla.
"Interesting."
Lu Qing observed the black fla dragon flying towards him, showing a look of intrigue in his eyes.
Then, he aligned his fingers into a sword and gently waved them.
A Sword Qi Tornado imdiately ford in front of him.
The Sword Qi Tornado instantly swallowed the dragon whole.
Countless tiny strands of Sword Qi encircled the black fla dragon, each capable of easily extinguishing a wisp of black fla.
Within rely three breaths, the terrifying black fla dragon completely vanished, utterly obliterated.
