Chapter 123: A Cunning and Cautious Man, Pursuing the Inner Aperture Realm
Upon seeing the young man in white, Ma Gu's entire body trembled.
It wasn't just because he hadn't detected a trace of the other party's presence beforehand.
But also because, according to his senses, the youthful man's qi and blood were like an abyssal sea, even more terrifying than that of the middle-aged man he had encountered in the Nameless Valley.
Inner Aperture Realm!
And even more formidable than that middle-aged man!
Ma Gu's heart immediately understood the gravity of the situation.
Lu Qing's expression was equally solemn.
In his vision, a rather dense red light was appearing on the young man in white's body.
[Bai Yuhua: Disciple of the Northern Border's Tiancang Sect. A Post-Natal Realm warrior, second disciple of Wang Cangyi. Cunning, treacherous, and capricious.]
[Cultivation: Initial success in the Inner Aperture Realm. Possesses an explosive secret art that can temporarily double combat strength.]
[Due to the favoritism and distance of his master, Wang Cangyi, he harbors resentment towards him and is extremely jealous of his other disciples.]
As expected, he's from the Tiancang Sect.
Lu Qing glanced at the information about the young man in white and understood the situation.
However, although Wang Cangyi is a Pre-Natal Realm expert, his ability to teach his disciples leaves much to be desired.
How is it that each of his disciples has a rebellious streak? Not only are they at odds with each other, but they also hold great resentment towards their master.
On the other side, the young man in white was also shocked.
Recently, due to the deaths of the seventh and third junior disciples, his master had flown into a rage and issued an order to find out which force had dared to interfere.
He had been assigned a task: to continue searching for Wei Xinghe's wife and children.
After witnessing the deaths of the third and seventh seniors, how could the young man in white easily put himself in danger?
But he couldn't disobey his master's order, so he had no choice but to use a gang he had subdued earlier to search for information outside the city.
As for himself, he followed behind these men, hoping to stir up trouble and lure out the venomous snake hiding in the shadows.
Fearing that mysterious force, the young man in white didn't dare to get too close to Heilan and the others, always staying a couple of miles away.
This way, he could ensure that he would be aware if Heilan's group made any noise, and also guarantee himself a quick escape route.
Unexpectedly, this distance caused him to be too late when he heard the cries of the Black Wolf Gang and rushed over.
In such a short time, Lu Qing had slaughtered the entire Black Wolf Gang.
Looking at Lu Qing's youthful face, the young man in white was shaken.
Just now, while lurking, he had witnessed Lu Qing's final blows as he killed the last few members of the Black Wolf Gang.
From the surge of qi and blood, he knew that Lu Qing was a Bone and Flesh Realm perfection warrior.
While Bone and Flesh Realm perfection warriors weren't uncommon, it was extremely rare for someone so young to reach such a level.
Even among the top sects, such genius disciples were seldom seen.
At the very least, their Tiancang Sect had none.
So, in the instant he saw Lu Qing, the young man in white was almost certain that Lu Qing was definitely connected to the mysterious force they were seeking.
An ordinary family clan would never be able to nurture someone so young at the Bone and Flesh Realm perfection.
After confirming Lu Qing's identity, the young man in white intended to retreat.
But unexpectedly, his movements were detected by Lu Qing.
"Extraordinary! A mere Bone and Flesh Realm perfection, yet able to see through my movements. Which core disciple are you from which sect?"
The young man in white asked casually, fanning himself with a jade fan.
Hearing his words, Ma Gu's heart trembled. He knew that his earlier guess was correct—Lu Qing had indeed reached the Bone and Flesh Realm perfection!
However, Lu Qing didn't answer his question. Instead, he said solemnly, "Old Ma, step back for now."
Ma Gu nodded and quickly moved to the side without hesitation.
Chapter: The Strong Escape
Realizing his presence here would only burden Lu Qing, Ma Gu's eyes flashed with displeasure as Lu Qing ignored him.
However, the young man in white did not immediately fly into a rage. Instead, he became even more cautious.
Lu Qing's arrogance must be based on something.
The image of the third and seventh elders' deaths in the Nameless Valley flashed through his mind.
With that in mind, the young man in white cupped his hands and said, "Since you refuse to reveal your identity, I won't disturb you further. Farewell."
With that, he lightly tapped his foot and began to back away.
This sudden change caught Lu Qing off guard.
He never expected that a powerful Inner Aperture Realm cultivator would simply retreat without a fight against him, a mere Bone and Flesh Realm warrior.
True to his reputation of being cunning and capricious, the young man in white didn't hesitate to abandon his pride and flee at the first sign of danger.
But would he get away?
Lu Qing took a step forward, chasing after the retreating figure.
"Old Ma, I'll leave this to you!" Lu Qing called out.
"Got it!" Ma Gu replied.
As Lu Qing and the young man in white disappeared into the woods, Ma Gu could only nod in acknowledgment. This level of battle was beyond his abilities to interfere.
However, he wasn't worried about Lu Qing's safety. He knew that since Lu Qing had dared to give chase, the mysterious being from the Nameless Valley must be nearby.
That being was powerful enough to easily slay Inner Aperture Realm cultivators.
With their presence, Ma Gu was more concerned about whether the young man in white would be able to escape.
"Old Ma, what should we do now?" Xiao Tian and the others asked cautiously.
When the young man in white had left earlier, the faint aura he had revealed made their hearts tremble.
It was a presence far more terrifying than that of Black Wolf.
They couldn't fathom what kind of powerful expert could possess such an aura.
"You all continue to deal with the bodies here. Don't worry, with Brother Lu Qing around, nothing will go wrong," Ma Gu instructed.
With that, he hurried into the house.
Upon reaching the secret room and seeing that Wei Furen and her son were still there, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been afraid that they might have already escaped through the underground passage, which would have made finding them a difficult task.
"Ma Gu, what happened out there?" Wei Furen asked, startled by his abrupt entrance.
"Reporting to Furen, Black Wolf, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, brought a group of his men to force their way into the house to search for you," Ma Gu replied.
"The Black Wolf Gang? How did they know we were here?" Wei Xiaogongzi asked anxiously.
Wei Furen's brows furrowed as well. She recalled her husband mentioning that Black Wolf was a powerful Bone and Flesh Realm cultivator.
If he wanted to break into the house, it would be impossible to stop him with just Ma Gu and the few men they had.
"I'm not sure, but rest assured, Young Master and Furen. Fortunately, Brother Lu Qing arrived in time and slew all the evil men from the Black Wolf Gang. The crisis has been averted for now," Ma Gu explained.
"Lu Qing is here?" Wei Xiaogongzi exclaimed in delight.
Wei Furen was equally surprised. Had she heard correctly? Did Ma Gu just say that Lu Qing had killed all of the Black Wolf Gang, including Black Wolf, a Bone and Flesh Realm cultivator?
"Where is Lu Qing now?" she asked.
"There's an even more formidable figure behind the Black Wolf Gang, and Brother Lu Qing has gone to pursue them. I was worried that you might have left through the underground passage, so I came to check first," Ma Gu explained.
"Ah?" Wei Furen and Wei Xiaogongzi were even more astonished by this revelation.
