Chapter 2485: Curiosity, Investigation

Sensing the killing intent Qiu Baiyi was constantly gathering, as well as her increasingly ruthless attacks, Viper was burning with rage but had no other choice.

This woman wanted to kill him.

"Qiu Baiyi, do you want to kill me?"

"Idiot."

In Qiu Baiyi's eyes, Viper was indeed losing his mind today. Originally, their strengths were evenly matched, and it wasn't easy for either to take down the other.

Yet today, this idiot still wanted to fight her after using a secret technique.

If she didn't finish him off, who would she finish off? He had delivered himself to the chopping block; how could she refuse?

Qiu Baiyi didn't give Viper a moment to breathe, her attacks coming in waves, each stronger than the last.

Under Qiu Baiyi's fierce, storm-like onslaught, Viper's situation became increasingly difficult.

The side effects of the secret technique had already caused his internal blood flow to be chaotic, and he still had to forcibly deal with Qiu Baiyi's attacks.

Within a few moves, Viper spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal energy surged, and his aura became messy.

Looking at Viper's current state, Li Xue, who was fighting Old Man Ling, knew the game was up.

He gritted his teeth and transmitted a message to Viper.

"Go! We can't take that brat today. As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. Let's go first."

It wasn't a question of whether they could find Ye Changqing anymore; if they continued to fight, Viper himself might end up dying here.

If he lost his life, what the hell was the point of finding Ye Changqing?

Hearing Li Xue's transmission, although Viper was extremely unwilling, he knew it wasn't the time to be stubborn.

This crazy woman opposite him really wanted to finish him off.

Immediately, Viper desperately blocked Qiu Baiyi's attack, took the opportunity to pull back, opened up some distance, and then tore through the void, disappearing from the spot.

Seeing this, Li Xue also chose to retreat, and Old Man Ling had no intention of stopping him.

Watching Viper successfully escape and the spatial rift slowly disappear, Qiu Baiyi shook her head with some reluctance.

Such a good opportunity, but Emperor Realm experts weren't that easy to kill. Unless Viper was stubborn and refused to leave, there would have been a chance.

"Valley Master Qiu."

At this time, Old Man Ling also came to Qiu Baiyi's side, calling out with a kind smile.

Don't let this old man's benevolent appearance fool you; Qiu Baiyi knew very well that this old man was rotten to the core, and his heart was likely black.

So she only replied indifferently.

"Thank you for this time, Pavilion Master Ling."

"Haha, my Lingtian Pavilion and your White Pine Valley are of the same breath and branch. It's a small matter, no worries."

Heh. Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi didn't believe a single word. Old Man Ling didn't care, changing the subject and asking directly.

"This time, Viper and Li Xue were so crazy. I wonder who the person they were looking for is."

This was clearly fishing for information from Qiu Baiyi. Qiu Baiyi knew this, but she didn't know either.

"If even you don't know, how would I know?"

"Is that so? I thought Valley Master Qiu knew."

"Since the matter is settled, this old man will return. Regarding Valley Master Qiu's previous promise..."

"Pavilion Master Ling, rest assured, I, Qiu Baiyi, never go back on my word."

"That's good, that's good."

After speaking, Old Man Ling left directly, as if he truly had no other ideas.

But Qiu Baiyi knew that this old man didn't just have ideas; he was full of schemes, and one careless move would lead to being calculated by him.

In fact, among Qiu Baiyi, Li Xue, and Old Man Ling, Old Man Ling's strength was the weakest. Although the gap wasn't large, it was the truth.

But when it came to schemes, neither Qiu Baiyi nor Li Xue was a match for this old man.

Qiu Baiyi sometimes wondered if this old man had nothing better to do every day than calculate against people.

However, Qiu Baiyi was also curious about the abnormality of Viper and Li Xue.

Who were they looking for that could make Viper so crazy, even losing his mind?

Looking at the city below, Qiu Baiyi had originally intended to search for herself.

However, during their battle, the city below had long since fallen into chaos, and many people had taken the opportunity to scatter and flee.

If the person Viper was looking for didn't have a problem with their brain, they had likely already escaped by now.

Therefore, Qiu Baiyi felt it wasn't worth the effort now.

Moreover, she didn't even know who Viper was looking for, or why it would make him so obsessed.

"Go and investigate what happened in the Blood King Palace and who the person Viper was looking for is."

At this moment, a spatial rift appeared behind Qiu Baiyi, and two women with Great Emperor cultivation stepped out.

Both were experts from White Pine Valley. Hearing Qiu Baiyi's words, they both nodded.

"Yes."

Qiu Baiyi's guess was correct; Ye Changqing and his group had taken the opportunity to escape while they were fighting.

If they didn't escape now, they would truly be idiots.

They mixed into the crowd, quickly left the city, and headed straight for the White Pine Valley territory.

Escaping the city, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were temporarily safe. Judging by Qiu Baiyi's attitude, she wouldn't allow Li Xue, Viper, or the people from the Blood King Palace to enter the White Pine Valley territory to search.

However, they couldn't let their guard down. Although Viper and the others couldn't enter the White Pine Valley territory to search for them openly, the Blood King Palace definitely had spies here.

Secret searches were still possible.

Not just the Blood King Palace; White Pine Valley and Lingtian Pavilion also had spies planted in each other's territories.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Li Tieniu asked Ye Changqing. He didn't have any ideas; he would do whatever Ye Changqing said.

He had already committed himself to Ye Changqing.

Hearing this, Ye Changqing said in a deep voice.

"Find a place to settle down temporarily, then find an opportunity to leave the Heavenly Martial Realm."

Only by leaving the Heavenly Martial Realm could they be truly safe. As long as they didn't leave, they weren't safe for a single day.

Hearing this, the brothers Li Tieniu and Li Tiedan, as well as the spirit chef, all nodded.

The three of them continued forward under Ye Changqing's lead.

On the other side, in just three days, Ye Changqing's portrait was already placed in front of Qiu Baiyi.

Looking at the handsome young man in the portrait, Qiu Baiyi revealed a smile of interest.

"A spirit chef from Viper's group? Viper could go to such lengths for a spirit chef?"

As she spoke, Qiu Baiyi looked at the woman below. Sensing Qiu Baiyi's gaze, the Great Emperor woman knelt down quickly.

"Reporting to the Valley Master, these were all sent back by spies. Your subordinate has confirmed it repeatedly; the news is true. Viper and Li Xue are looking for this spirit chef named Ye Changqing."

"Then it's interesting. A spirit chef who can make Viper and Li Xue so nervous—it seems he is not an ordinary spirit chef."

Qiu Baiyi stared fixedly at Ye Changqing's portrait, whispering to herself. This brat should be in their White Pine Valley territory now, right? ===== CHAPTER 2486 =====
