Chapter 123: The Cunning and Cautious, Hunting Nei Fu Jing
When Ma Gu caught sight of the white-robed youth, his entire body stiffened.
It wasn’t just because he had sensed no trace of the man earlier—no faintest whisper of presence.
More unsettling was the depth of the youth’s qi. It surged beneath the surface like a bottomless abyss, far more terrifying than the middle-aged man Ma Gu had once seen in the nameless valley.
Nei Fu Jing!
And not just any Nei Fu Jing—this one was even stronger than the one he’d witnessed before.
Ma Gu’s mind made the conclusion instantly.
Lu Qing’s expression was equally grave.
In his vision, a dense crimson glow shimmered across the white-robed youth’s form.
【Bai Yu Hua: Disciple of the Northern Frontier Tian Cang Sect, Second Disciple of Master Wang Cangyi. Temperament: treacherous, cunning, fickle.】
【Cultivation Level: Early Post-Natal Internal Organs Stage. Possesses a Secret Explosive Technique capable of doubling combat power for a short time.】
【Due to Master Wang Cangyi’s favoritism and neglect, harbors deep resentment. Holds intense jealousy toward his fellow disciples.】
So it is the Tian Cang Sect.
Lu Qing read the information and understood at once.
But Wang Cangyi, though a Xian Tian Jing powerhouse, clearly had no talent for teaching.
Every one of his disciples seemed rebellious by nature. Disunity among brothers was one thing—but to harbor such hatred toward their own master? That was alarming.
On the other side, the white-robed youth was also deeply shocked.
These past days, the death of his Seventh Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother had enraged the Master to the point of fury. Orders had been issued: find out which faction had intruded.
And he had been assigned a task—continue tracking down the whereabouts of Wei Xinghe’s wife and child.
After seeing the brutal fates of Old Three and Lao Qi, how could he possibly risk his life recklessly?
But he couldn’t disobey the Master’s command. So instead, he had deployed a gang he’d recently subdued, sending them out to scout beyond the city.
He himself stayed behind, following at a distance—hoping to provoke a reaction, to flush out the hidden serpent in the shadows.
Fearful of the unknown force, he kept his distance—never closer than one or two li.
That way, he could spot any disturbance from the Black Wolf Gang in time, yet still have a swift escape route if needed.
He hadn’t expected that very distance would cost him everything.
By the time he heard the screams of the Black Wolf Gang members and rushed over, it was already too late.
In that brief span, Lu Qing had slaughtered them all.
Now, staring at Lu Qing’s youthful face, the white-robed youth felt a chill run through him.
He’d seen the moment Lu Qing delivered the final blow to the last surviving member of the gang.
From the surge of qi, he knew—Lu Qing was a Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement cultivator.
Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement was not rare.
But a youth so young achieving it? That was exceedingly rare.
Even among the greatest sects, such prodigies were scarce.
The Tian Cang Sect, for all its prestige, had never produced one.
So when he saw Lu Qing, the white-robed youth was almost certain—this man had to be connected to the mysterious faction they were hunting.
No ordinary family or clan could raise such a prodigy.
Having confirmed Lu Qing’s identity, he had already decided to retreat.
But then, to his shock, Lu Qing called out his presence.
“Remarkable. A mere Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement cultivator, yet you’ve sensed my hiding place. Who are you, disciple of which sect’s core lineage?”
The youth waved his jade fan with effortless grace, feigning calm.
Hearing those words, Ma Gu’s heart lurched.
His earlier suspicion was confirmed—Lu Qing had truly reached the Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement stage!
But Lu Qing didn’t answer. Instead, his voice was cold and firm:
“Ma Ye, step back.”
Ma Gu nodded without hesitation, retreating swiftly.
He knew perfectly well he’d only be a burden if he stayed.
Seeing Lu Qing ignore him, the white-robed youth’s eyes flickered with annoyance.
But he didn’t rage. Instead, he grew even more cautious.
This kind of arrogance meant Lu Qing had something to back it up.
His mind flashed back to the gruesome deaths of Old Three and Lao Qi in the nameless valley.
Swallowing hard, he bowed slightly.
“Since you refuse to reveal your identity, I shall not intrude further. Farewell.”
With a light step, he turned and retreated—straight into the trees.
Lu Qing hadn’t expected that.
A Nei Fu Jing powerhouse, facing a Jin Gu Jing cultivator, simply fleeing without a fight?
No wonder the abilities system labeled him cunning and fickle. He doesn’t care about face or pride. When danger arises, he runs—immediately.
But could he really escape?
Lu Qing’s foot pressed down, and he shot forward after the fleeing youth.
“Ma Ye! Handle this side!”
“Understood!”
As Lu Qing and the white-robed youth vanished into the forest, Ma Gu could only respond.
This was beyond his level now.
Yet he wasn’t worried about Lu Qing’s safety.
He knew—should Lu Qing have pursued, the mysterious being from the nameless valley must still be nearby.
That creature had once effortlessly slain a Nei Fu Jing master.
With it watching, Ma Gu’s real concern wasn’t Lu Qing… but whether the white-robed youth would actually get away.
“Ma Ye, what should we do now?”
Xiao Tian and the others whispered, their voices trembling.
The moment the white-robed youth had left, a sliver of his aura had brushed them—so chilling, so terrifying, it sent shivers down their spines.
That aura was far more dreadful than anything the Black Wolf Gang had possessed.
They couldn’t fathom what kind of being could emit such dread.
“You stay here and deal with the corpses,” Ma Gu said. “I’ll go inside. Don’t worry—Lu Qing is there. He’ll be fine.”
He hurried into the house, then rushed to the hidden chamber.
Seeing Wei Fu Ren and her child safe and sound, he finally exhaled in relief.
He’d feared they’d already fled through the tunnel—then searching again would be a nightmare.
“Ma Gu, what’s happening outside?”
Wei Fu Ren gasped as he entered, her son, Wei Xiao Gongzi, immediately asking.
“Madam, the Black Wolf Gang’s leader, Black Wolf, had led a large force to break into the house, searching for you,” Ma Gu replied.
“Black Wolf Gang? How did they find us?”
Wei Xiao Gongzi’s voice trembled with panic.
Wei Fu Ren furrowed her brow.
She knew well—Black Wolf was a Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement cultivator.
With only Ma Gu and the few people in the house, they couldn’t have held off such a threat.
“I don’t know, Madam. But the good news is—Lu Qing arrived in time. He’s eliminated every last one of them. The danger has been temporarily averted.”
“Lu Qing the young doctor came?”
Wei Xiao Gongzi’s eyes lit up with surprise.
Wei Fu Ren was stunned too.
Had she heard correctly?
Lu Qing had killed the entire Black Wolf Gang?
Including Black Wolf himself, who was a Jin Gu Jing Great Achievement master?
“Where is Lu Xiao Langjun now?”
“The man behind the Black Wolf Gang is even stronger. Lu Qing has already pursued him. I came in first to check on you—afraid you might have fled through the tunnel.”
“…What?”
Wei Fu Ren and Wei Xiao Gongzi stared at each other, wide-eyed with shock.
