Chapter 675: Deceived Twice

Seeing that Zhou Qingyu had actually brought along a servant before leaving.

The three Zhou Family Elders frowned at the same time.

Has the Third Miss lost her mind?

If she brings a servant, her speed will inevitably be affected, which is disadvantageous for escaping.

They were just about to offer a reminder.

Zhou Qingyu had already rushed out of the Spirit Boat's protection.

Seeing this, the five attackers outside quickly flew toward her.

Seeing this, the three of them.

Could no longer worry about giving a reminder.

With a flash of their figures, they left the Spirit Boat and blocked the path in front of the five people.

A great battle erupted instantly.

Just as the Zhou Family Elders intercepted the five attackers and Zhou Qingyu fled into the distance.

Suddenly.

Three more people flew out.

They bypassed the site of the battle and chased in the direction Zhou Qingyu was fleeing.

Seeing this, the three Zhou Family Elders' expressions changed.

Besides the five Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators they were blocking, there was actually one at Golden Core Stage Perfection and two at the Golden Core Late Stage!

Even by exhausting all their strength, they could only barely intercept the five people beside them, and had no power left to stop the three Golden Core Stage Cultivators who had appeared later.

This is bad!

The Third Miss is likely in danger!

……

The sound of the wind was sharp in Wang Jianqiang's ears.

Enveloped by Zhou Qingyu's power, he was being carried by her, flying forward at high speed.

Suddenly.

Zhou Qingyu sensed three auras rapidly catching up from behind, and her expression changed.

"Someone is catching up!"

Wang Jianqiang turned his head to look.

Immediately.

Three figures appeared in his field of vision.

One at Golden Core Stage Perfection and two at the Golden Core Late Stage?

He raised an eyebrow.

With Zhou Qingyu's strength, she was definitely no match for these three.

He had to find an opportunity when Zhou Qingyu wouldn't notice to kill them.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was pondering how to make a move.

Zhou Qingyu suddenly separated a strand of power and sent him far away.

"Their target is me; if you follow me, you will surely die."

"Hide immediately after landing; perhaps you will have a chance to survive."

Enveloped by Zhou Qingyu's power, Wang Jianqiang flew rapidly toward a dense forest below.

Hearing Zhou Qingyu's words, he smiled.

When they first met, he could feel that Zhou Qingyu had murderous intent toward him.

It seemed that as long as she found a replacement for him, she would kill him.

Afterward.

Only after learning that he could concoct Nutrient Solution did the murderous intent in Zhou Qingyu's heart completely vanish.

Therefore, his impression of Zhou Qingyu had always been quite average.

Now.

This woman's actions had actually made him change his opinion of her.

After Wang Jianqiang landed in the dense forest.

The three people who had been chasing them, just as Zhou Qingyu had expected, did not pay him any attention.

Instead, they chased straight after Zhou Qingyu.

Wang Jianqiang was just preparing to follow them quietly.

His expression suddenly flickered.

He turned his head to look at the sky behind him.

Immediately, he saw.

A figure rapidly approaching from the distance.

Although that person had used a special method to conceal their aura and appearance, it could not deceive Wang Jianqiang's Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

"It's her!"

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, and a righteous smile appeared on his face.

Hehehe~

……

Sun Rou had come together with the experts from Fengxue Pavilion.

When the experts of Fengxue Pavilion attacked Zhou Qingyu's Spirit Boat, she had been hiding in the shadows observing.

It was not until Zhou Qingyu fled the Spirit Boat that three other death warriors hidden in the shadows by Fengxue Building pursued her.

In the end, she could not help but follow.

It was Zhou Qingyu who caused her to be harmed by that fake Lin Xue.

She wanted revenge!

She could not wait to witness with her own eyes the scene of Zhou Qingyu being tortured.

However.

Just as she was following the traces left by the Fengxue Building experts from a distance behind.

She suddenly saw from afar a figure being thrown out by Zhou Qingyu.

And that person, she recognized.

It was precisely that peerless piece of trash with the Five Elements Waste Spirit Root, Wang Daniu!

At such a critical juncture, this bitch actually did not abandon Wang Daniu, but instead tried every possible way to secure a path of survival for Wang Daniu.

There must be something going on between this Zhou Qingyu and Wang Daniu.

The Third Miss of the Zhou Family.

A top young genius of Biyu City, one of the Jade City Twin Beauties who shared the same reputation as her.

Zhou Qingyu, who was adorned with all sorts of halos, would actually like a piece of trash with a Five Star Spirit Root!

Although such a thought was far-fetched.

But given the current situation, it could only be explained this way.

Otherwise, why would a Legendary-level trash Spirit Root possessor be able to make Zhou Qingyu treat him so specially?

Thinking of this.

She suddenly came up with an interesting idea.

Since Zhou Qingyu liked this piece of trash.

Then if she had people humiliate Zhou Qingyu in front of this piece of trash.

Would Zhou Qingyu be even more miserable?

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel inexplicably excited.

She changed direction.

And flew toward the dense forest where Wang Daniu had landed.

A moment later.

Zhou Qingyu landed in the dense forest.

Her Spirit Sense spread out.

Immediately, she detected a familiar aura several miles away.

It was precisely the aura of that Wang Daniu.

"A mere ant at the Qi Refining First Layer, and you want to escape under my nose?"

She sneered and was about to move.

Suddenly, in another direction, she detected another familiar aura.

"Brother Lin?"

"Why is he here too?"

A look of excitement flashed across her face.

Ever since the fake Lin Xue incident occurred, the Blood Clothes Sect called off the engagement.

She had tried to contact Lin Xue.

But Lin Xue had already cut off her Sound Transmission Talisman connection.

She could not make contact.

Even.

She had once taken the initiative to go to the Blood Clothes Sect, wanting to see Lin Xue, explain things clearly, and attempt to reconcile.

But she was also rejected.

Now.

She had coincidentally run into him.

She did not hesitate in the slightest and directly abandoned the thought of hunting down Wang Daniu.

She moved closer in the direction of Lin Xue's aura.

Compared to explaining everything clearly to Brother Lin.

Capturing that Wang Daniu was only secondary.

After traveling through the dense forest for a while, she successfully saw a figure in blood-colored robes.

Upon seeing this figure, out of caution.

She specifically probed Lin Xue's Soul aura, and after discovering there was no abnormality at all, the joy on her face grew a few shades deeper.

Unless the other party restrained their Soul aura, making it impossible for her to detect.

Otherwise, a Soul aura could not be faked.

Brother Lin had not deliberately restrained his Soul aura; she had just clearly sensed it.

This person was the real Brother Lin!

"Brother Lin!"

She looked at Lin Xue excitedly.

Lin Xue heard this and looked over.

Upon seeing Sun Rou, he was first taken aback, then hesitated for a moment, his expression complex as he said, "Why are you here?"

Sun Rou took two steps in one, rushed in front of Lin Xue, and grabbed Lin Xue's palm.

Lin Xue subconsciously wanted to pull away.

But Sun Rou held onto him tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

A look of pity flashed in her eyes, "Brother Lin, back then it was because that person was impersonating you, and I didn't recognize it, so..."

"I was only deceived because I like you too much."

"I am a victim too."

"Can you forgive me?"

Lin Xue heard this and sighed softly.

He stopped pulling his hand away and let Sun Rou hold it.

"Rou'er, I have also heard of your encounter; to be honest, this is not your fault."

"I have also never blamed you."

"But, I cannot defy my father's decision; I hope you can understand."

Hearing Lin Xue's words, Sun Rou immediately hugged Lin Xue excitedly, "Really, Brother Lin?"

"I know this matter will affect the reputation of the Blood Clothes Sect, and I understand Uncle Lin's actions; as long as you don't blame me, that is enough."

"Can we still be like we were before? I can understand that Uncle Lin cannot accept it for now."

"But I believe that as long as we both are willing to work hard, one day, Uncle Lin will come around."

"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Lin Xue's face.

Seeing that Lin Xue did not refuse immediately, Sun Rou felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

"Brother Lin, I have already guessed who the person who harmed me is; it is that bitch Zhou Qingyu."

"I came here this time just to catch her."

"She dared to harm me like that; once I catch her, I will definitely make her wish she were dead."

Speaking to this point, she paused, then continued, "If Brother Lin still has any misgivings in your heart, after we catch that bitch Zhou Qingyu, I will let you dispose of her, how about that?"

"Let's just consider us even."

Hearing this, Lin Xue seemed somewhat surprised; after being stunned for a moment, he muttered, "This... can also be considered even?"

Sun Rou heard this and was on the verge of tears, "I knew Brother Lin was lying to me; you still have misgivings about what happened to me, don't you?"

"No, no, Rou'er, what I said is true."

Sun Rou heard this and looked at Lin Xue with a blushing face, "Then (two words omitted here)."

Lin Xue was stunned.

"Here? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"You are still despising me." Sun Rou became on the verge of tears again.

Lin Xue seemed unable to bear it and gritted his teeth hard, "This... alright."

One hour later.

"Rou'er, I still have urgent matters to attend to, let's stop here."

"Mm, go ahead and get busy, Brother Lin; I still have to go catch someone, and afterwards, I have to go see if that bitch Zhou Qingyu has been caught."

"Catch someone?"

"Mm, a lowly servant named Wang Daniu; this person has an unclear relationship with that bitch Zhou Qingyu, so I cannot let him go."

"Oh~"

Lin Xue nodded and left quickly.

Sun Rou watched Lin Xue disappear into the horizon and withdrew her gaze.

A look of intense excitement spread across her face.

She did not expect her luck to be so good, to actually encounter Brother Lin here.

Now the misunderstanding between her and Brother Lin had been cleared up, and Brother Lin had accepted her.

She had another chance to become the Young Sect Master's wife of the Blood Clothes Sect.

The opportunity for the rise of the Fengxue Pavilion had also returned.

As long as she caught Wang Daniu and that bitch Zhou Qingyu.

Everything would be at Consummation.

Thinking of this.

She flew toward the direction where she had previously sensed Wang Daniu's aura.

After parting ways with Sun Rou, a Spirit Light flashed on Lin Xue's body.

He transformed into another appearance.

It was exactly Wang Jianqiang.

He looked back at the direction where Sun Rou was.

He couldn't help but laugh.

I wonder if this Sun Rou will be so moved that she wants to cry after learning the truth?

He was very much looking forward to the scene after the other party returned to Biyu City.

It is just a pity.

He had to go to the Beast Taming Sect and was destined not to be able to see it.

Just thinking about it, however, is quite interesting.

Afterward, his Spirit Seal Power erupted, transforming into a Golden Rainbow Light, and he flew out in pursuit of the Spiritual Power aura left behind by Zhou Qingyu when she fled.

His speed far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator.

Less than the time it takes for one incense stick to burn later.

A wave of combat fluctuations came from ahead.

Wang Jianqiang's figure paused in mid-air.

After observing for a moment with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, he concealed his aura and figure, approaching silently.

……

In the sky.

Zhou Qingyu was being surrounded by three death warriors from the Fengxue Pavilion.

A palm-sized Jade Sword was suspended in front of her.

Her slender fingers pointed at the Jade Sword, and Spiritual Power was continuously injected into it.

From within the Jade Sword, waves of sword Qi surged out incessantly.

The sword Qi filled the sky, crisscrossing and attacking the three men without end.

The three men went all out, yet they were still firmly blocked and unable to advance even an inch.

Although Zhou Qingyu appeared not to have fallen into the slightest disadvantage, and was even faintly suppressing the three of them.

In reality, she had already stepped into a desperate situation step by step.

She was currently completely locked down by the three of them; to break out, she had to completely defeat one of them.

However, although the Jade Sword Magic Treasure was strong, it could not achieve such a level.

Moreover, the consumption of the Jade Sword Magic Treasure was clearly immense.

Her Spiritual Power had already begun to show signs of being unable to keep up.

If this state continued, at most in the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, she would inevitably find it difficult to maintain the consumption of the Jade Sword.

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment, not making a move immediately.

He silently observed the battle.

It was as he had expected.

After Zhou Qingyu persisted for another quarter of an hour, her Spiritual Power output was clearly unable to keep up.

The power erupting from the Jade Sword weakened by a few degrees as a result.

The three men, who had previously been somewhat suppressed, immediately regained a slight upper hand.

Braving the crisscrossing sword Qi, they slowly closed in on Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu's pressure increased sharply.

Beads of crystalline sweat seeped out from her fair forehead.

At this moment, Zhou Qingyu also saw the situation clearly.

She knew that if things continued like this, she would be the first to exhaust her strength.

She gritted her teeth hard, a look of determination appearing on her face.

"Explode!"

Following her low shout.

The Jade Sword instantly self-destructed.

A powerful explosive force swept outward.

The three Fengxue Pavilion death warriors were all sent flying at the same time.

Zhou Qingyu could not wait for the explosive force to subside; after the strongest wave of the explosion's impact had passed.

She charged directly into the violent air currents, braving the surrounding aftermath of the explosion to rush out.

Under the impact of the explosion's aftermath.

Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, and the aura within her body was in a state of chaos.

She could not spare the time to suppress her injuries.

She fled toward the distance with all her might.

Although those three pursuers were injured by the self-destruction of the Jade Sword, they had not lost their combat capability.

She had to take this opportunity to escape as far as possible.

If she could not shake off these three, she would truly be unable to escape today.

After Zhou Qingyu fled.

The explosive force of the Jade Sword gradually subsided.

Three figures were suspended in the air; their faces were slightly pale, and all of them had a trace of blood hanging from the corners of their mouths.

Looking toward the figure in the distance that had almost disappeared into the horizon.

Their expressions were all gloomy.

They were one Golden Core Stage Perfection Cultivator and two Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators.

Besieging a Golden Core Mid Stage Alchemist who was not particularly skilled in killing.

They had actually let the opponent escape.

And they were left in such a sorry state!

"Pursue!"

The three of them exchanged a glance and charged out simultaneously.

Only.

The three of them had just chased for less than a hundred zhang when a flash of Golden Light suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Immediately, they discovered.

A figure had actually appeared like a ghost.

Blocking their path of pursuit.
