Chapter 20: The Vast World, Escaping in Three Breaths

After that, Chen Qiu didn't hesitate for a moment. He grabbed Huang Shikai by the collar with his left hand and strode towards the cliff they had come from earlier. The summoned Malevolent Spirit could only exist for one hour before dissipating automatically.

There was no time to pause.

Huang Shikai's "Unassailable from Behind" Entry was even more useful than Chen Qiu had imagined. He had to make the most of Huang Shikai's remaining time, maximizing the use of his abilities.

"Brother Chen Qiu."

Fat Dragon had also recovered his wits and hurriedly caught up with Chen Qiu's brisk pace, saying, "You openly summoned Huang Shikai's Malevolent Spirit. Anyone would know that you have the ability to turn the creatures you kill into Malevolent Spirits and summon them!"

"With so many onlookers here, it won't be long before this news spreads."

"Your trump card is exposed. How can it still be a trump card if everyone knows about it?"

Chen Qiu quickened his pace towards the cliff, speaking a little faster.

"Who said this was a trump card?"

"Hurry up, time waits for no one!"

"Hey."

The guard commander, clad in armor and stationed at the Western City Wall Main Gate, known as the "Immortal Seeking Gate," watched as Chen Qiu and Huang Shikai's figures disappeared into the distance. He rubbed his palms together, feeling the weight of the few taels of silver Chen Qiu had thrown him, and couldn't help but smile.

"This brother is quite a considerate person."

"He's interesting."

Then, he tucked the silver into his chest and turned to face the group of guards behind him, who were eagerly watching. He laughed and scolded, "What are you staring at? Do you think I can keep this silver all to myself?"

"Get back to work!"

"After we're off duty tonight, I'll treat you all to a drink in Fufeng City!"

"Make sure you tell us in advance. Just one woman, and I'll take care of the rest!"

"Anyone who dares to order more, pay for it yourself!"

The Ask Heaven Market did not allow people to stay after nightfall, except for those who could stay at inns.

Once the inns were full, everyone else had to leave the market.

This was the rule of the Ask Heaven Market.

Within the market, fighting was strictly prohibited. Every day, numerous individuals came seeking revenge, which was manageable if it was just one force, but when multiple forces sought vengeance, the pressure became overwhelming, even with Golden Core Period cultivators stationed there.

However, these vengeful individuals often offered generous rewards in exchange for the market's protection.

So, after careful consideration, the market implemented this rule.

It ensured that they wouldn't offend too many forces while maintaining a decent income.

Not far from the Ask Heaven Market, on the same mountain peak, there was a small auxiliary city with numerous inns, taverns, and other establishments, accommodating those who didn't want to descend the mountain that night or merchants from the market.

In this auxiliary city, there were no restrictions on fighting.

The Ask Heaven Market's guard squad operated on a rotating shift system, working every other day. Tomorrow was their day off, and they planned to go to Fufeng City to have some fun and see the Performer from the Imperial Capital, who was rumored to not sell her services even for three Spirit Stones.

They wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

The guard commander's face was filled with laughter as he thought about the evening's entertainment. He worked even harder, as cleaning up the battle traces around the Ask Heaven Market was part of his duty.

The brother didn't need to tip him.

But with this unexpected windfall, he couldn't help but smile a little.

"Can you fly?"

Chen Qiu quickly approached the young man he had met earlier at the cliff and said, "Take me to a place, quickly. Name your price."

"Where to?"

The young man, dressed like a scholar, casually glanced at Chen Qiu and then lowered his head, speaking indifferently, "The world changes so fast. Is it now fashionable to stroll around with a Malevolent Spirit?"

"To cool down your body heat?"

Chen Qiu squatted down, looking the young man in the eye, and said calmly, "I don't have a specific location."

"Within a hundred li, where are there many ferocious beasts? I want a lot, but not too many, preferably not a group of Demons acting collectively, the kind with a strong sense of territory. And the strongest ferocious beast should not exceed the Qi Condensation Stage."

"Moreover, this place must be unclaimed, belonging to no faction. Hunting ferocious beasts there won't violate the laws of Great Xia, and no one will stop you."

"Tsk."

The scholar, seated cross-legged on the ground, closed the picture book in his hands and looked at Chen Qiu with a meaningful gaze. Suddenly, he laughed, "There is, of course. About twenty li to the west, there's a place just as you described."

"It has no name."

"In a stone cave at the bottom of a natural ground fissure, about several hundred zhang from the surface, there's only one type of demon beast called the 'Face Spider'. This is a demon beast that can never advance beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it won't develop spiritual intelligence."

"They prefer cold and damp environments."

"However, they are a group of ferocious beasts, reproducing quickly and rarely traveling alone. Moreover, they have an extremely strong sense of revenge for their companions."

"Are you going there?"

Chen Qiu pondered for a moment before nodding seriously, "Yes, how long will it take to get there?"

"Three breaths."

"Another three breaths?"

"Heh."

The scholar smiled, "In this vast world, three breaths is all it takes to reach any place."

"Good, but you need to wait for me there. After an hour, bring me back."

"Then give me a Spirit Stone."

The scholar slowly closed the picture book in his embrace, carefully placing it in his bosom. Before they could speak, the bearded bulwark who they had met once in the mountain appeared beside them.

The scholar raised his right hand to his face, his thumb and index finger touching while the other three fingers extended naturally. He formed a hand seal and whispered, "Knock."

The next second—

A trembling azure blade shot out from the scholar's wide-sleeved robe, turning into a streak of azure light that vanished into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Three breaths later.

As if sensing something, the scholar's lips twitched, and his body instantly dissipated, leaving behind only a straw-woven meditation cushion.

Before Chen Qiu and Fat Dragon could react, the bearded bulwark standing beside them grabbed their arms. The scenery around them spun again, and in less than a breath, it stabilized once more. They now stood on a barren wasteland filled with cracks.

".

Chen Qiu looked around with disbelief. There wasn't a single spiritual field in sight, no official road, and not a trace of human activity. The area seemed to have been abandoned and suffered a severe drought for three years.

Looking far to the east,

A vast mountain range, shrouded in clouds, could be vaguely seen. That was the Heavenly Inquiry Mountain Range, from which the Heavenly Inquiry Market derived its name.

Despite being in a plain with a wide-open view, it was hard to determine the distance to the mountain range, but it was undoubtedly not short.

In other words,

In just three breaths, they had teleported twenty li?

He also roughly guessed the scholar's entry or technique, which probably allowed him to teleport to wherever his flying sword reached. However, it was unclear if there was a distance limitation.

First, the flying sword reaches the destination, then the scholar teleports there, and finally, the scholar's brother teleports them to the scholar's side.

With such means,

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that in this vast world, any place could be reached in three breaths.

He had wanted to ask Fat Dragon if a normal Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator's flying sword could be this fast, but seeing Fat Dragon's jaw-dropping expression of disbelief, he already guessed the answer.

"We're here."

The scholar, still seated cross-legged on the ground, looked at Chen Qiu and Fat Dragon with a gentle smile, "This fissure bottom is the cave of the Face Spiders."

Only then did Fat Dragon, who had regained his composure, notice that the young man dressed as a scholar seemed to have a hidden disability in his legs, preventing him from standing normally.
