Chapter 117: Escape

"Senior... Senior..."

Seeing his hands suddenly hang down and have no movement, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to find that the aura on this senior had completely dissipated. This time, he really returned to the underworld.

In just a short moment, Song Qingming experienced a great ups and downs in his heart.

After picking up this person by the river, he thought he was involved in a troublesome matter that was difficult to explain. Later, seeing this person suddenly wake up, although Song Qingming was a bit scared, he was very glad that he could finally get rid of this problem. Unexpectedly, he died in front of him before he could say a word. Song Qingming was really completely dumbfounded this time, and his heart was also extremely depressed.

This person's injuries were so serious, and he ran into this deep mountain, it is possible that he was chased by enemies on the road. It seems that this place is not safe. If his enemy sees that he had seen him, he will definitely suffer from the disaster of the pond fish. Thinking of this, Song Qingming quickly collected the storage bag and the jade box on him, and buried his corpse in a pile of broken stones at the foot of the mountain.

"Senior, please don't blame me. Now the situation is dangerous, and I cannot stay here for long. After I go to the Profound Heaven Sect to explain this matter in the future, I will come to collect Senior's corpse. I hope Senior's spirit in heaven will protect me so that I can escape smoothly this time."

After bowing and worshipping this senior, Song Qingming quickly turned and left here.

Song Qingming had not left for less than an hour when three Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped on flying swords and found the river.

A handsome young man carefully looked at the river and said to the other man and woman beside him: "That's right, the aura did indeed reach here. It looks like he couldn't hold on and the poison had already flared up, so he wanted to use the river to cover his escape from our tracking."

"No matter what, he must not be allowed to escape alive. Otherwise, once the sect knows about this, everyone will be in big trouble." The speaker was the Foundation Establishment woman among the three, wearing a veil on her face, unable to see what she looked like.

The young man laughed suddenly after listening: "It's Fellow Daoist Hu who is in big trouble. We two are not from the Wei Kingdom. Even if the Profound Heaven Sect knows about this in the future, at most we will stay away from the Wei Kingdom. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Hu, you conspired with us to kill a Profound Heaven Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator for the sake of the spiritual objects on that person. From now on, I am afraid there will be no place for you in the Wei Kingdom. Fellow Daoist, shouldn't you be regretting it now?"

The woman looked at him unhappily and continued: "Since I have already taken action, what's the use of me regretting it now? I am also afraid that this person has already escaped and attracted Profound Heaven Sect cultivators, and it will be difficult for us to escape."

"Hehe, this person has been hit by our Heavenly Poison Palm, and he definitely cannot walk out of this big mountain. Fellow Daoist Hu, don't worry too much. It's just that during the beast unrest, there are traces of beast activity everywhere in this big mountain. I'm afraid that if his corpse enters the belly of a beast after he dies, we won't know where it is, and our several calculations will really become empty." The last older old man comforted the two, looked at the pitch-black mountain in the night sky, and sighed.

The young man thought for a while and said: "Since things have come to this, let's not waste any more time. Fellow Daoist Hu, you go upstream, Senior Brother Xue goes downstream, and I will check around. No matter dead or alive, after finding him, send a sound transmission immediately. Three days later, we must converge here. By then, no matter if we can find him or not, we must leave the Wei Kingdom immediately."

The other two nodded and agreed with his opinion. A white light flashed at the scene, and the three had quickly disappeared from the spot.

Song Qingming, who had just run out for dozens of miles, saw a sword light suddenly escape above the sky. Song Qingming immediately used the aura-restraining technique and hid under a big tree on the side.

The sword light in the sky turned around nearby for a few times, but did not find anything, and soon disappeared out of his field of vision. Only then did Song Qingming get up and run south desperately.

After Song Qingming saw the sword light just now, his heart became nervous again. It is clear that the one in the sky should be coming for the Profound Heaven Sect senior who had already died. If he wants to survive, he must quickly use the moonlight to stay away from here. Otherwise, wait until dawn, and without the cover of the night, it will be difficult for him to hide his tracks.

After walking a few more miles, Song Qingming suddenly saw a low-level beast lying by a big tree in the forest with its belly cut open. Song Qingming just wanted to go up to see, but did not expect that the sword light in the sky just now turned back from the front and happened to fly over his head, which scared him to stop on the spot, standing still, not daring to make a sound.

Fortunately, this time the other party just passed by this place and did not see Song Qingming shrouded in the night. It disappeared into the sky again soon. However, Song Qingming below was really scared into a cold sweat. Seeing the sword light disappear, he did not care about the beast and quickly accelerated his pace to bypass that place and run wildly south.

Without taking a break, he ran south for more than a hundred miles until a trace of white light appeared on the eastern horizon. Only then did Song Qingming stop his steps and rest by a tree trunk for a while.

After running so far, he finally had some time to breathe. The night raid also consumed most of the magic power on his body. He hurriedly took out two spirit stones to restore his magic power. The continuous running for several days really made him somewhat tired.

Two hours later, Song Qingming, who had recovered, set off again, preparing to go south to bypass the beast army first, and then go east to Mount Huoyun to find the old patriarch and the others.

After walking for half a day, Song Qingming unexpectedly saw a sound of fighting coming from the front. Walking closer, he found that a team of Qi Refining stage cultivators was fighting with several low-level beasts. These people seemed to be local family cultivators of Pingyang County.

Song Qingming reached out and summoned a flying sword from his storage bag, killed into the battlefield from the side unexpectedly, and soon ended a golden-backed ape with a sword.

This team of cultivators was originally more numerous than the beasts they were fighting, and they had already gained the upper hand. The beast side was already unable to fight, and with Song Qingming's sudden addition, these beasts soon could not defeat the cultivator side and fled in all directions.

Just after the battle ended, an old man with a round face and gray beard walked forward, arched his hands toward Song Qingming and said: "I am Lu Demiao of the Lu family of Jinfeng Mountain in Pingyang County. Thank you for your help just now. Now there are beasts everywhere nearby. I don't know where you are going, Fellow Daoist."

Song Qingming hurriedly raised his hand to return the salute and said: "Senior is polite. We are all human cultivators. Since we met, we should naturally help each other. I am a cultivator from Qinghe County. I was originally conscripted to support Mount Huoyun. A few days ago, when attacking Jinshan Market, I was separated from the main force by the beasts, and I am just trying to bypass and return to Mount Huoyun."

"So you are also going to Mount Huoyun, Fellow Daoist. We also received orders from the main family to go to Mount Huoyun for support. Why don't you go with us, Fellow Daoist? It will be easier to take care of each other on the road." Lu Demiao saw that Song Qingming and their destination were the same, so he simply invited him to go together.

Hearing that these people were also going to support Mount Huoyun, Song Qingming was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

"That's fine. To tell you the truth, I am not very familiar with the terrain nearby, and in order to avoid the beasts, I have been turning in the mountains for several days. Fortunately, I happened to meet you all today."
