Chapter 50: The blood-stained stone that terrified Zhou Qing

Not long after, the true disciples who went out to survey returned and pointed out the direction.

"Let's go, there's still real work to do!" Yan Xiaohu greeted.

Then the group headed towards the western mountain range.

Along the way, they followed the traces of the Cangyan Dao Palace and lit campfires to rest at night.

Until two days later, they completely lost the traces of where the Cangyan Dao Palace had passed.

"Reporting to Zhou Shixiong, a cave was discovered ahead, suspected to have traces of fighting!"

The true disciples who went out to scout sent a message in a hurry.

The group stood up immediately.

Not long after, a half-collapsed cave appeared before everyone.

At the cave entrance, vines grew wantonly, intertwined with each other. Sunlight spilled through the layers of branches and leaves, forming mottled light and shadows on the ground, adding a bit of tranquility and eeriness to the cave.

"Look, everyone—"

Lu Yaoyao pointed to the cave walls, and everyone realized that the walls were covered with knife marks of varying depths, and the ground was littered with broken stones.

It was obvious that a slaughter had taken place here.

Li Daoxuan walked up at this time, bent down, and looked carefully.

"These traces look like they've been here for some years; they didn't happen recently!"

After speaking, he stood up and looked at the pitch-black cave in front of him, his powerful spiritual sense suddenly probing inside.

Soon, he withdrew it.

"Don't worry, everyone, there's no one inside, and this cave looks like it's been abandoned for a long time!" Li Daoxuan said.

After hearing this, everyone let down their guard.

"I'll go in and take a look." Yan Xiaohu stepped into the cave first, and Zhou Qing followed closely behind.

The whole cave looked very damp, and it was also covered with shocking marks.

It looked like the fighting here had been very intense.

Yan Xiaohu used his long knife to pull down the spider webs in front of him, looking disappointed: "I was hoping to use this as a campsite for tonight, but now it seems a pity."

Zhou Qing looked around and soon noticed something unusual about a few of the broken stones on the ground.

He crouched down and gently wiped away some moss.

A faint fragrance entered his nose. Lu Yaoyao came to his front at some point and looked carefully.

"It's blood, and it has already dried and turned black, almost impossible to detect. It seems Eldest Zhou Shixiong was right; the battle here happened a long time ago and should have nothing to do with the Green Feather Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong."

Lu Yaoyao said seriously.

Li Daoxuan stood behind Lu Yaoyao, looking proud: "That's for sure; your brother still has that much experience."

"That's right, don't look at who the chief of our Shenyue Peak is. Zhou Shixiong Li, we brothers are counting on you this trip."

Yan Xiaohu took the opportunity to flatter him. After all, if he served such a free bodyguard well, they could save a lot of effort.

Zhou Qing, however, pondered for a moment. Anyway, he had been identifying mountains and rivers for the past two days, so he might as well use it.

With a stir in his heart, the information on the stone was revealed.

【Blood-stained stone: This is an ordinary stone that gained some spirituality because the Taiqingmen Peak Master Gao Xuan shed blood on it when he fell, but the overall value is negligible.】

When he saw the words clearly, Zhou Qing was stunned.

He hurriedly read it carefully again, his eyes full of doubt.

"Gao Xuan? Isn't this the Peak Master of Jinyang Peak?"

Zhou Qing frowned, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the information.

All thirteen Peak Masters of the Taiqingmen were alive and well. When Lu Yaoyao became a disciple some time ago, he even took all the core disciples to congratulate them.

But this said it was the blood shed when Gao Xuan fell...

Just as Zhou Qing thought of this, his pupils shrank, and his heart jumped violently.

He read it again.

He only felt a dry mouth and tongue.

Peak Master Gao Xuan fell?

Then who is the one staying in the Taiqingmen now?

How long has he been here?

And what is his purpose?

God, he and his third senior brother went to see him last time, and the other party was so kind.

Thinking about it now, he only felt his scalp tingling.

For so long, no one had discovered his true face.

"Let's go, don't stare blankly!"

The next moment, Yan Xiaohu patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder, waking him up.

Coming back to his senses, he realized that everyone in the cave had gone out, preparing to find a place to camp for the night.

Zhou Qing only felt his heart pounding. In a trance, he seemed to see a huge conspiracy hidden in the Taiqingmen.

But how could he tell others?

Or smell it out like the Spirit Turtle Fluid?

Who would believe that?

It might even alert the enemy, and he might be silenced first.

Stay steady, must stay steady.

Zhou Qing's brain worked fast, and he decided not to tell anyone about this for now.

Then he hurriedly opened his personal panel.

【Name: Zhou Qing】

【Age: 19】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Late Stage】

【Cultivation Method: Taiqing Xuanqi Jue】

【Talent Skills: Daily Appraisal,

Heart Appraisal Vision - LV2 (139/200),

Lower Presence - LV3 (3/100)】

【Skill Fragments: 0/3 (Cannot be obtained)】

The talent skill 【Heart Appraisal Vision】 would soon be promoted to level three, and the number of bindings would definitely increase.

If it really doesn't work, leave one for Peak Master Gao Xuan to probe the bottom first.

"Watch your feet, why are you so dejected after coming out? What are you thinking about?"

Yan Xiaohu shouted suddenly, and Zhou Qing woke up, almost tripping over the stone in front of him.

Zhou Qing hurriedly said: "No, nothing, just thinking about where those people from the Green Feather Qingshu Qingshu Xian Zong went?"

Yan Xiaohu laughed: "It's hard to find anyway, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe the senior brothers from other peaks have already found them."

Li Daoxuan took out his token to ask, then shook his head.

"Each peak has no gains yet, but a secret order has come from the sect, telling everyone to be careful and guard against the people from the Cangyan Dao Palace. If there are clues about them, we must communicate with each other!"

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing.

It seems that his smelling of the Spirit Turtle Fluid on the jade pendant that Yin Xiao of the Cangyan Dao Palace gave to Cui Yingying has been highly valued by the sect.

People haven't been found yet, but this guy has accidentally made a contribution first.

【Heart Appraisal Point +5】

Hearing the sudden prompt, Zhou Qing looked back and noticed the 【Lecher like a dog-skin plaster】 note above Li Daoxuan's head, which changed to 【Lecher with a sensitive sense of smell】 at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Haha—

I thank you for your latest opinion of me!

That night, the group stopped moving forward and found a sheltered place to set up camp.

After Lu Yaoyao finished tidying up the tent, she looked at Zhou Qing, who had been unhappy, thought for a while, and walked up.

"Zhou Shixiong Zhou, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind? If you trust me, you can tell me, and I'll help you analyze it!" Lu Yaoyao said softly.

Zhou Qing shook his head: "I don't trust you."

Lu Yaoyao: "..."

Seeing his junior sister get snubbed, Li Daoxuan sighed.

I don't understand, what are you trying to get?

If you want him, he's a peeping tom who learned bad habits from his senior brother; it's not worth it.

And you're randomly playing matchmaker, forcing him and Immortal Xuan You together.

If you don't want anything, you like to find him, and then people give you an impatient look.

Now that you are Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, your future achievements are limitless. You should stay away from such people and have your own circle early.

Just as Li Daoxuan stepped forward, preparing to take his neglected junior sister back to the right path, he suddenly looked up at the dark night, stepped forward quickly, and extinguished all the campfires.

Before everyone could react, Li Daoxuan immediately blocked in front of Lu Yaoyao, his expression solemn.

"Shh, someone's here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately hid in the surrounding dense forest and guarded carefully.
